Hi, I am using a n7105. Recently, I have issues with my contacts not showing up.
It's not to do with phone configuration of what to show..I guess it's more of a bug or sort.
Everytime when this occurs, I need to restart the phone and the contacts will be back.
I am on stock 4.1.2 rom except I have applied root to it.
Anyone encounter this or suggestion to fix it? Thanks in advance

Once the contacts show up, export them.
Then clear data for contacts and then import back contacts.

Thanks. Just did a backup, clear Contacts and restore. Will monitor it for a while if it goes away.
BTw, there's another app called "Contacts Storage". Any idea what it does? Do i need to clear that as well?
Problem still occurs... I am gettiing this error message.
com.google.process.gapps has stopped.
Very briefly , i see the following as well "android.process.acore has crashed."
I search online that the later problem could be contacts related. But how do i solve it?

My contacts last synced with my Gmail account on Thursday 29/9/2011 at 08h37. It has been saying that Sync is currently experiencing problems and will be back shortly.
Everything else syncs fine, it's just the contacts.
I have rebooted the phone several times. Nothing seems to help. I really don't want to do a default reset if I don't have to. Any ideas?
Much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
MAC
Just do as described here.

Finally sorted out...
I went to Android Central and the answer was there!!!
Here's what to do:
Menu>Settings>Account Sync>Disable all
Then (Be sure to backup call log, contacts etc before next step):
Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Contacts Storage>Clear Data
This clears the entire contacts database which seems to get corrupt after something or other. Mine happened when syncing Skype contacts!!!
Then Enable Sync again and, then REBOOT device immediately (note not just a power down and fast boot, but a Reboot/Restart).
Your contacts should start syncing again!!!
Yippee!!!
Yeah,it works but when I restore my backup ( contacts and call log) with my backup then I have the same error with syncing again...

I only backed up my call log. I did not restore my contacts because they were already there on Google. Try it without restoring contacts and let it sync with Google.
But how do you get the contacts from Google back on your phonelist?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
You let you your phone sync normally once you have rebooted. All your contacts are in the cloud already, or should be.

Ah yes,I see...but I want the numbers back in my internal phonebook...not only in the Google account. And point is that several numbers are not synced for several months,so I loose them if I delete the data and after reboot sync...?

Everything that's in your phone will sync with Google. You need to back your contacts up with Sprite backup or GO CONTACTS. Then follow the steps indicated. See if that works for you.

At worst you could always back them up with a pencil and paper
Couldn't synch contacts...

Until I came across this post, thanks MACkjam!
When turning the phone off and then on, the camera flashes a light several times and it automatically sends previous text messages sent by me to other people again. Why is this hapenning? Can someone please post a solution?? Thanks!
this is actually a known issue
it seems to be a system bug
you can try flashing another ROM, or simply wiping the stock ROM and start from scratch
[Q] issues with SMS resending itself after reboot
I have been having a strange issue recently.
When I reboot my phone, the text messages that I have recently sent are being resent to my contacts, sometimes the messages are resent multiple times. It happens sporadically.
Anyone else have this issue?

I've never experienced this issue. Are you using a 3rd party SMS app? What rom is this issue happening on?

Are you using handcent? This specific issue is why I quit using handcent. If not, then I dunno, that's weird.

switch and use Go SMS
problem solved
hey! thanks for the reply. I tried flashing some different roms but the issue still persists. even though its not every time i restart my phone, it still happens randomly and its very annoying since people always reply back saying why are u sending me old text messages? So what do you suggest i do? I am currently on TricH's rom. how can i completely wipe the stock rom and start from scratch? please let me know! thanks.
which SMS app are you using?
the stock one that comes with TricH's rom
hmm... probably you might be better off using another ROM or a stock ROM just to see if there's any difference?
i have already tried other roms such as the beast rom but the issue still persist. even when i was on the stock rom, the issue was still there. Do you think there is a way to remove the stock sms app completely from the phone and then maybe i can download a 3rd party app?
i have been having the exact same issue. it started while i was on the stock telus rom, i then switched to the best rom and the issue was still occuring. I am now on the bombardier rom and the issue was gone for a couple of days and now when i restarted the phone, the issue occured again. so i dont know what is causing this problem. if someone knows a fix to this issue please help!
you can use TI to freeze it
Link2SD also has the Frezing option
This was happening to me. I narrowed my problem down to media scan looping, especially if you're getting it on a nandroid restore.
merged both topics, just noticed you 2 and a few other people you also have the exact bug
Had a thought... do you have any texts stored on your sim card?
nope nothing stored on my sim card.
ok so i think I may have found the solution to the issue:
i installed titanium backup pro then used it to backup and freeze the stock messaging app. I then rebooted the phone so the messaging icon disappeared from the phone. I then installed go sms pro from the market and using it as my default sms app. Tried rebooting phone after that and it has not been resending text messages so far.
*fingers crossed* hope this solves the issue for good! will update if issue persists.
Keep getting a notification that says mobile life contacts check status. I click on it and it doesnt do anything. I clear it... Comes back again within like 4-5 hours. How do i get this to go away?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
Don't know how to get rid of it, but just wanted you to know you weren't the only one that has it.
Also, you can't remove the mobile life contacts from the Accounts settings page either. I tried and it said it is required for some applications to work.
Strange. I guess when we start getting ics based off of the update we will be able to move it.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA
I just got the same notification. Not sure how to get rid of it completely. Maybe titanium backup?
Possible Solution
I can't post a link yet since I am new but if you google "check status mobilelife contacts on htc" I found the support.tmoble one has a solution. I am about to try the google account one because I don't want to do a reset for something simple like this. Hope this helps everyone
I froze it using titanium backup.

Did the same, here.
Fix:
1.) Settings > Applications > All tab
2.) Find Mobile Life Contacts
3.) Force Stop and Clear Data
Reboot phone to ensure it doesn't pop back up.
Cancel that, starts again on reboot.
I thought i was finally helpful.

Got that as well. Backed it up and uninstalled using Titanium.
It won't mess up anything if you freeze it. Use Titanium Pro to freeze, and you will never see it again.
There's definitely tons of garbage to freeze with the official tmo release that's for sure.. TI pwnage
This worked for me
Resolution steps
To fix the MobileLife contacts not syncing, follow these steps:
If you wish to continue using MobileLife contact backup you must perform a master reset of your device. To perform a master reset of the device, follow the steps below:
From home screen press Menu.
Tap Settings.
Tap Storage.
Tap Factory data reset.
After the factory reset is complete, re-sync MobileLife back to your device through accounts and sync.
For an alternate work around and to back up contacts via a Google account, complete the following steps:
From home screen tap Applications.
Tap Contacts or People.
Press Menu.
Tap Import/Export.
Tap Export to SD card.
Tap MobileLife Contacts.
Tap OK on confirm export.
You will now be returned to Contacts or People.
Press Menu.
Tap Import/Export.
Tap Import from SD card.
Tap Google Account.
Tap OK to continue.
Your contacts are now synced with your Google account. Please navigate to Accounts and sync and verify that automatic synchronization is setup.

Not to be rude, but this just doesnt make any sense. On previous custom ROMs that were debloated, all I had to do was restore that apk using titanium and I was good to go.
This not withstanding, I recently flashed Darkside ICS, and I attempted to restore the APK, but now my contacts will not sync. Are there other processes that are required in order for the Tmo contacts to sync? If so, what are they? I personally like having my contacts synced to MobileLife...
Just to help out. What you are looking for is the "Back Up" and then is will have the version numbers. Freeze it for now. Then Delete it later to make sure you don't mess something up.
This should have the Icon of a rotated white book with T-Mobile color arrows on top and bottom of the icon.
freeze it. I did and it took away the account inside the "Accounts and Sync" area of settings.
Now only my Gmail account is there.
You will need the Pro version of Titanium, but it is worth every penny and more.
I know this is an old thread but I ran across it and wanted to put exactly what needed to be done.
Thanks

Hello
I just got my GNex, and i noticed that i see a wave effect centering from the bottom center on the background in contacts application, even more visible when i pull down the status bar.
I dont see it anywhere else. Not in message app background or in web. Just in contacts. Im thinking its because of grey-ish white background in the contacts app.
Is this normal?
If it isnt, is there a way to fix it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
It is normal if it occurs in only one application.
Just Reflash the rom if your using a rom.
If you stock and rooted, just back up contacts with Rom Toolbox and delete the original one. Then restore it without data first. If all is well then data next.
If fails repeat but don't restore data.
Back up ur contacts first.
Edit1: can't confirm if I have the same problem since I'm using a sense theme.
Edit2: do the method for stock if reflashing doesnt fix anything.
Hello everyone,
About thw past week or so I have been having this problem. I flash a new rom and for a day or two phone works fine, but then sms freezes and crashes. I open contacts app and it says that its updating contacts list but never does.
I end up re-flashing the rom for the problem to go away, but sure enough it happens again. I've had this problem with 2 different roms. I have also odin back to stock and rooted again, but same has problem occurred. Has anyone else had this problem ans found a solution?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Could be a syncing problem? Where are you contacts getting "updated" from?

I had the same problem. So, when I updated my ROM, I didn't reload my contacts. I just let Google resync them, and the problem was gone. Hope this helps.

I had a similar issue and my phones dialer actually froze I couldn't make calls or anything. Also was getting the message android process acure had stopped. I know that message is realated to syncing and contacts I belive but my only soulation was to wipe everything and reflash my rom. It has worked so far. Just hope it won't freeze up again.
