I have two gmail accounts. Both sync my contacts just fine (both can be searched and come up). However, whenever I receive a text or call from my second account (I use handcent and Callapp), it just shows the number, as if I don't actually have the contact saved. This is getting frustrating as my second account is a google apps account that I use for work, and clients are calling me without me knowing who they are, until I copy the number and search for it in my contacts. Did anyone else encounter this and how did they solve it? Thank you.
Hi !
After placing/receiving calls or sending/receiving SMS, device shows the contact name from the Sim card. (The contact name that appears in the call log or SMS thread tittle).
Contact to display is set to - Phone. Still it seems the device looks into the Sim card by default, while it registers the call/SMS.
This makes the names appear shorten as they are in the Sim.
How can I set the device to look at the contacts that are store on it ??
I'm using the original Lg apps and software (Android version - 5.0)
Thanks
Same thing happened to me after I did a full reset. I have my contacts in google contacts so what I did was -
1) I deleted all my contacts (phone and google). It should also delete those in google cloud. So keep internet and sync enabled.
2) Go to contacts.google.com and restore your contacts from yeaterday(for instance). Google keeps all your contact changes from the last 30 days.
You should have Sync and internet enabled all that time on your phone during that.
It should sync the contacts and all should be working fine.
Hi there, I have a OnePlus 3. Since a week my contacts list imported from outlook do not show anymore in my contact list. So in e.g. WhatsApp I only see phone numbers. If I add a new contact it shows at first but the next time I open up my phone the contact name is gone and I can only still see the number in e.g. dial history. I have tried virus scans, settings in outlook etc. Nothing helped.
Anyone has an idea what causes this problem and how to solve it? Thanks a lot in advance.
Hello good people,
I have a xiomi lite a2 Android 9, and some contacts are getting lost.
1. I have Google account and it's on sync.
2. Only new contacts are lost
3. I still have contacts names on my call history, but these contacts are not exist anymore.
4. I did nothing with my contacts, no export, import, transfer.
5. Around the time it happens I installed Skype, which already made me problems with contacts in the past.
How can I deal with it?? I am not talking about restoring it, but how to prevent it in the future???
Please help!!!!

Does the Google account sync for contacts show any errors?
Can you see the contacts online?
Hello All,
I am frustrated with automatically contacts adding without name into my device contact.
For example I have John Doe contact saved already then same contact number will be saved without name automatically, and those contacts appearing into whatsapp and other apps and I cannot recognize the contact untill I remove it. I have disabled contact sync from all the accounts.
Some contacts I have deleted many times but they are added again and again.
Anybody else is facing this issue?
Many thanks in advance.

Never heard of that. Try changing which contacts to display in Settings. Also you could edit your contacts the way you want it (delete duplicates), save them on the phone as .vcf, clear storage/cache of Settings and import the saved file. I always save my contacts on the phone, not on Google and from time to time back them up to vcf.

Did you use 'Google' contacts? Or some apps have access contacts that syncs automatically (i.e. Telegram syncs my contacts sometimes without permission, and I''m wondering my contacts are gone, sometimes duplicated )
Sometimes, it happens here, syncing contacts even when syncing turned off. I revoke 'contacts' permission on most apps (Telegram, Instagram, Messenger, etc.), not using Google's contact apps (I dunno if it's the default contacts app on stock, as I don't use stock) and that problem went away.

I did it many times but again everything messed up automatically. The same contact already available in phone memory and duplicate created with empty name and this duplicate contact act as default contact for every application. it happens only with around 50 contacts out of 200.

I use Google contacts, MI A2 lite comes with stock Android 9 and stock Google apps. Let me try to revoke the contact permissions from all the apps.
