Upgraded 2.1 Official rom.. Now contacts wont show? - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just upgraded to 2.1 but now my contacts wont show up in my contact book but they are appearing when people call/text? they're saved on my SD card and I've tried restoring several times. Anyone having this issue? I've tried rebooting

Are you saving them to google or just the phone?
Try clicking on menu you the people app and selecting view. If they are showing up in the call log properly then you probably just don't have it set to display them in your contact list.

Cannot access messages - HELP!!!

Today my message app stopped working. My today screen says "1 unread mail" but the app doesnt start if i click it, the hardware evenlope button OR messages app by start menu... what do i do??! HELP!!?
Running stock rom wm 6.1 norwegian.
sorry, wrong forum i know :/
Try
Deleting your inbox folder on your SD Card. Also remember its software. So all sorts of settings that you don't believe to be associated with your tmail.exe may effect it. Do you have your IE folders going to your storage drive...that would include anything like bookmarks and otherwise...if so set that back to default under Advanced configuration.
I'm having the same problem

[Q] 2.2.1 Upgrade contacts problem

Ok, I have lurked threw every post I can find on here and haven't found a fix yet. I did the tethered update and followed the posted instructions. My phone is not rooted btw. Anyways, I did the update and everything seemed to work fine until I got a phone call. My contacts are not showing up when someone calls, but they do when I receive texts. I tried the FutureDial thing and tried to import my contacts and it didn't pull anything except for my number even tho it still has all my contacts showing in the contacts. I did a factory reset and its still having the problem, and the contacts are still listed. I'm going to try to reinstall the update and see if that helps. But after this I am all out of ideas. I am sure I'm not the only one with this problem. Has anyone figured out how to fix this?

Hey man. There is already a thread on this issue. Please don't start new threads about topics that already have a thread. We don't need a bunch of multiple posts about the same thing. Maybe mod could move this or delete???
All you Have to do to get all of your contacts back is wipe your phone by doing a factory reset and themn run MyBackup and it should recover all of your contacts.
***No contact list***
Once I updated to 2.2 from 1.6, my unrooted ZIO worked great, but my contact list only showed a few contacts which I had deleted a long time ago. None of my current contacts showed up. However, the text messages, all had the names, and you could access the contact's info from the messages, same for the call list. I tried everything to get the list to show, but backup would not add any contacts, as they were clearly somewhere on the phone already. What I wound up doing that worked, was I copied all of my files (including contacts file) from the SD card onto my pc, then formatted the SD. Then I did the factory reset on the phone. Then I recopied the previous SD contents back to the Sd, but only the contact file, music, pics, etc. Nothing that looked like it was for the operations on the phone. Then I brought up the empty contact list on my factory fresh looking phone, and imported the contacts. Finally. Even Cricket could not help me with this, and just opened a ticket on it. Hope it helps.
My contacts just take the first ring before the name shows up. Try letting it rung a little longer maybe once or twice. Contacts should show up. Btw. All my contacts were synchronized with gmail not mybackup. Who still uses mybackup on android rofl!
Option94 is right. There is a stick in general for KNOWN ISSUES.

Caller ID showing random facebook pictures

I have no idea what is going on, or why it started, but I've had this issue since I got my Droid 3, and I hoped that when I got my Droid 4, it would stop...
My phone is assigning random facebook pictures to people as their caller ID picture. I will get a phone call from friend A, and it will show the picture of friend B, or some other random facebook picture.
If I assign a picture to a contact on my phone (such as one I took with the camera), if I receive a call it will show the picture correctly, however, if I dial that person it will show some other random facebook picture.
For some people, the picture comes up correctly, but for many it does not.
Certainly there is some cache somewhere I can clear to fix this, right?
If you have FB contacts syncing, the phone will try to auto pair them with your Google contacts.
Mine tries to tie my info that I have in Gmail for my alternative e-mails/numbers with my dad's fb info even though our display names are listed differently(he's in fb as Billy, and my info is under William)
If that's what's wrong to fix it, in contacts go into the contact that is messed up. Hit menu, and look for separate(under more).
Alright, so I am still having this problem, even after uninstalling the facebook apps...
I want to clear my Contacts Storage, but in Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Contacts Storage the "clear data" button is grayed out.
Any way to clear this WITHOUT doing a factory data reset?
Thanks!
Have you tried joining the contacts (I assume they are already joined), then setting the google profile as Default? That will make their name and photo the one you assigned to the google contact. Let me know if that works.

[Q] PC Companion restoring contacts

I recently backed up my phone using PC companion and I'm having issues restoring my contacts.
Everything else has restored including call log and text messages (although it took several attempts), but I'm having issues with the contacts.
Strangely enough some of the number in my call log do have contact names, but none of them appear in in my contact list. it may be the case that they are already store on my sim.
The other strange thing is that when I first go to call log, all contact names will appear for a second before disappearing. I've tried this method of pulling the contacts from the backup by Johannski but in the backup there is no file called com.sonyericsson.android.contactsimport. I've tried other files that end in names like localcontact but had no joy.

Any suggestions?

Lenovo K3 Note Contacts trouble

I have a strange problem. When I receive a call from people stored in phone Contacts sometimes I can see the name who is calling, many times there is only phone number and no name!? All those calls are from people stored in Contacts.
All contacts was stored to the phonebook at one time by sync with my Gmail.
I look and tried everything in Options but I still have no solution.
I even tried to erase some contacts and added them back again and it s still the same.
Please help me!!!

Use other dialer (download any dialer from google store) . I had the same problem and this helped
I also had the same problem, I added the same number prefixed +44 as a secondary contact and that fixed it. And then I got a new dialer.
The problem maybe is with the duplicacy of contacts. If a no. is added twice then, no name is shown.. Also make sure contacts to display option has phone memory has phone memory selected and all contacts are also copied in phone memory & no duplicate contacts..
Hi s_assist,
Can you tell me how to do the below step as mentioned above.
Go to setting -> Contact Storage : Clear Cache, Clear data
In Lenovo K3 note, "clear cache" & "clear data" are in DISABLE state in CONTACT STORAGE.
Can you tell me how to proceed further?
Thanks in advance

SOLVED !!!
I was also facing such hanging problem ! sometimes all contacts tab in WhatsApp used to load very slow!
I checked on many forums,
I had a Chat with Lenovo Support team, they suggested to do a factory reset,
I have also been to authorised service center, even they suggested to do a factory reset
But before doing a factory reset I thought to clear all data for Whatsapp (that reset my whatsapp) and since then I am not facing such issue !!
After Whatsapp reset, its about 5 days I am using my phone but no hang issue
1.
'Backup chats' from whatsapp setting
2.
Settings > apps > whatsapp > Clear Data
(this resets whatsapp, like new installation)
3.
uninstall whatsapp
4.
restart phone, and reinstall whatsapp from google play store
5.
run and sign in to whatsapp, It prompts to restore chat from backup, you can restore if you wish to (I restored)
6.
bang ! done, check yours...
P.S.
My all Contacts/account SYNC is ON
Cheers
I am facing the same problem with k3 note. Some of my saved contacts are not displayed. Need some help.
