Hi,
I am having a very strange problem with my SGS. Before I had a Nexus S and all my contacts are in my google account. I have my SGS sync with the google account apparently with no issues.
BUT when I edit a contact the changes are not saved! I press save and it says the the changes were saved, but when I go again to the contact the old info is there... I have tried to edit the address or to add/remove number in the contacs.
This only happens when editing existing contacts. If I add a new contact is OK or if I delete an existing contact it also works.
Any clue what can be wrong???
Thanks
PS: I have a stock ROM 2.3.6 JWZ
same problem here ....
sometimes my contacts get synced via googlemail - somtimes not ..
Really? How can something so basic give issues... and this is one of the latest official firmwares!!
Does anybody know if in other earlier/later roms work?
Or something better, where can I find the original contact manager from Gingerbread to replace Samsung's garbage? I have rooted and I guess I could get rid of it with root explorer, true?
Nobody else with the same issue?
I really don't want to flash again. And even less if I don't know other stock roms might have the same problem.
Nobody can tell me if they have any problems editing contacts from the google account?
What could I do, copy contacts to phone?
Hi, I have updated to the lasted official firmware for my samsung galaxy GT I9100 and am having the exact same problem as you. Yet it was working fine before update.
Did you find a solution?
Cheers
If u are on ICS,after making changes u need to confirm it at the top of the screen before leaving the contact

hi all i have just got a g1 drc92 with official 1.6 f/w, i have a bit of a strange question someone on here will probably find easy to answer,
my problem is i have imported all my contacts into Google mail online then synced with the phone, i have 100 contacts and all are in alphabetical order except the last 5 they just seem to be added at the end of the list? i basically have a - z all listed fine then at the end of the ones that are ok i have a George , and a john etc... just 5 contacts out of order.
i have tried deleting these contacts and adding them via the phone and still they just get added to the bottom? i have tried editing the contacts online then re-syncing and it still adds to the bottom of the list in the phone and on g-mail contacts online?
please help as this is really annoying.
hmmm, must be something different about those contacts... Can't really tell you unless you give us a more thorough description or a screenshot or something like that. I bet you it has something to do with the contacts themselves though.
Maybe the name was entered under business instead of the name field?
Check your gmail contacts and look to see what's different.
Hi
I managed to sort these contacts now, i had to save them to a csv file and edit it manualy in exel? strange! but sorted now!
Hi Guys,
I have a strange problem with my sgs.
Whenever I try to manually Join two contacts (for example someones facebook and corporate account), they wont join.
Here is what happens:
I open a contact named "XXX", click on Join contact, find the contact I want to join it with (facebook profile YYY for example) and click on it. Phone tells me contacts joined, but they are not. Contacts with matching names have been joined automaticly
Anybody?
I've got the same problem now too... you figure this out?
So do I. Did either of u figure it out? Pls respond.
i had this problem but i couldnt join my facebook contacts to the contacts on my sim after i installed a new rom - i had to import the contacts from my sim to my phone first before i could join them
my contacts are on the phone itself and still its not working..
Hi guys, had this two or three times. I'm pretty sure it's caused by uninstalling some system apps like task manager, social hub etc.
Never found a way to fix it, other than wipe system and data + reflash.
Have you deleted social hub or other sns related apps? You could try to fix the problem by reinstalling them.

I think this must be a problem with the developers.
Initially i didn't have this probelm but as soon as i ugraded the firmware and the option changed form 'link contacts' to 'join contact' the problems started. I hope that someone figures this out as there seems to be no other way to use the facebook pictures.
I've got it!!
So, I've figured this out. It's tedious, but it works. Go into the original contact. Where it says their name, retype it exactly as it is typed in the other contact that you would like to link it with. Once you get to the end of the name, a pop-up should come up underneath the name. Click on it to link the contacts. If it is already exactly the same, all you have to do is hit the space bar at the end of the name. This should also bring up the pop-up. Once the contacts are linked, you can change the name back to what you originally had it as. Like I said, long and tedious, but at least it works. Good luck!!
Ok so ive been using my htc for a while geting use to it, deciding if i should or shouldnt rom it anyways, facebook...
i want it to update the contacts photos when there in my contact list and sometimes it cant even find the contact.. so any ideas?
ive tryed a fix i saw it. when i go to updates and events...with all of the install..well.. Its freezes my phone and i have to turn it off
Facebook is not so well integrated with Windows, you have to manually select a friend and link their account with Facebook if their names don't match.
Are you using stock ROM? If yes, there was some update provided by HTC few months ago.
Not sure if something else is your problem.
my phone got soft-bricked (black screen of death) with stock froyo on it two days ago
i decided to install cyanogenmod this time, but lost all contacts and data while installing the ROM; and i obviously could not back up anything because the phone was not working
my contacts were synced with AT&T Address Book, though
but cyanogenmod, or i guess any custom ROM for that matter, does not have the option to sync with att address book.
please help me get the contacts back without having to go back to stock
i am desperate right now
maybe replacing the contacts apk with the stock one works?
any help is much appreciated, ppl

Can you get them by logging into your account on AT&T's web site? If so, you might be able to export them as a CSV and then import them into your phone or another contacts manager.

i can access contacts through the website. but i did not find any options to export the contacts saved there, only see the option to import into the att address book
found no way to sync with AT&T Address Book on the custom ROM.
finally gave up and had to put the numbers on my phone one by one
replacing contacts apk or adding the att_wssyncmids apk does not work, ffr

You should sync your contacts with google imo.

Hello,
First, excuse my english, its not my native language. Thank you.
I used my HTC One with Cyanogenmod 4.2, recently there was a update to Android 4.3
After updating i lost my google apps as supposed since they are made for Android 4.2. This was my opportunity to get rid of google, so i installed K9Mail with Fdroid and imported my contacts with a .VCF file. Worked well.
I have just one mayor problem, I can't add new contacts to the phone. My phone app always want to add a new concact to my exchange account and i cant change it to anything else. I want to add new contacts to the phone itself, without any accounts like whatsapp/exchange/google...
Second problem that occurred: I can`t edit the contacts from the recently imported .VCF file, my Datamanager hang up every time when i want to add some Details.
Do you guys have an idea how I can add contacts to my phone?
Greetings Nox
