Just happened to me too!!! WTH????

Maybe some error on samsungs side.
Try this.
Backup s note folder.
Then disable sync.
Then chat data for s note and cave if there is any.
Then restore the backup.
These steps might lead to data loss so be careful.

no fix for the past 2 years and none in sight
they're forcing users to google+ instead
even if there would be a fix for the 96x96 pixel Gmail contact photos, one would need to reupload every single one again...

Loss of Contacts....

I recently flashed a new rom on my girls GS2 and she now is telling me that she is missing several hundred contacts. i asked her if they were all tied to her google account and she told me that they were until now. she's had several other androids in the past and always had all the contacts transfer just fine. I work for T-Mobile and i have seen this issue in a couple of other devices before but have never been able to come up with any sort of rhyme or reason as to what, why, or how this is happening. can anyone shed some light on this for me? and if anyone knows a way to possibly recover those missing contacts that would help me out greatly. plus, it kinda worries me to think that one day if i flash a new rom onto my phone i may log in only to find i have lost all of my contacts......
thanks

Has she logged into gmail from a pc and verify her contacts are there?

thats the big issue, they deleted out of her google account completely. on the phone and online. she had something like 800 contacts (crazy i know) the other day and now she only has around 250. ive seen this happen with a few of my customers phones at work as well where one day they have contacts stored to gmail then suddenly they are gone. its very strange.
Umm were they mostly guys number?
Are you sure it wasn't part of fb of fb contact sync?

lol no isnt trying to hide anything from me haha. and i asked her if they were FB contacts she said no. these were contacts that were tied directly to her gmail account.
I dunno man if they were on her acct online and now they aren't...that's a Google issue. No idea where to begin to fix it.

I am having the same problem. Phone was setup to sync contacts to gmail... but now its gone off phone and off gmail.
If I recall correctly, Google has an option to revert to previous versions of contacts up to 30 days ago. Maybe that would work?

Backing up contact linkages... Google, Facebook, whatsapp...

Hi all,
I have all my contacts sync with my Google account. One thing that can be done on the note 2 is linking the same contact together across Facebook, whatsapp and linkedin.
I would like to back up this information so I dun have to re-link them again should I change phones. Is this possible?
If so, how does one get to it?
Thanks.

Use titanium backup to backup contact storage.

Thanks, mate. Yes it's rooted. I have backed up contact storage, just not sure if that's where all the information is stored.
Thanks for confirming.
Cheers

Recover lost contacts, photos, SMS thru Windows

Just a heads up. Today's free giveaway of the day for Windows is software that allows you to recover the fore mentioned, also some backup features.

This could be beneficial should one accidentally delete something before or without backing up, assuming it actually works. I haven't tried it, just passing it on for those that might find it useful at some point. I'm thinking of more the recovery part of it over the backing up part. I often see posts by others wanting to recover deleted texts. I'm planning on downloading it, just in case. You never know in a pinch.

"Unfortunately, email has stopped"

This only seems to happen when i click on a notification in the status bar. the phone goes black, resets to home screen, then email works.
Anyone else have this issue? I see it's also an issue for other galaxy phones, just wondering if anyone with the note3 has resolved this.
thanks
Jason
I know what I am about to tell you is not going to fix the problem you're having, BUT just letting you know... I've been using Aqua Mail Pro on my Android for quite sometimes now, and I will NEVER, EVER use the stock email EVER! I'm a heavy email user but even if all I had was just my Gmail or Yahoo!, etc., still I would use Aqua. Many, many more features...

i like the stock email app for exchange mail , when it works, and mostly it always has and still does, except for this annoyance. ill give aqua a try. how is it on battery drain? i have fount k9 touchdown and EE to be big battery drainers.
Never have noticed a battery drain problem directly related to Aqua. Have had as many as 5 emails in it (with one being Exchange & 2 IMAP) with no problems...
Had trouble with exchange settings on it. Does it support exchange mail?

Goto application manager and clear data. I had similar problem but related to different cause. Clearing my data did the trick. Hopefully helps you too.

Argh!

It's a dependency that we froze in Titanium I bet. Same thing happened when I froze My Magazine and used TouchWiz.
We just have to find out which dependency(ies) it is.
Ditto, was working fine until I did root and stayed freezing apps

Note 3 SM-N9005 (4G) same problem. Not sure if it was stuffed from out of the box as the first thing I did was root and remove stuff. Now same problem, freeze upon notification and then opens ok
