[Q] Contacts problems - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all,
After suffering from build xxx.108 which I have updated more than 2 month ago (mostly due to Contacts and phone services crushes) I think I'd finally isolated the root cause, at least on my end.
I have 2 active sync accounts and a Gmail one. If the only one activate is the Gmail one, all is good, if I add something, the processes begin to crush.
Did I missed a solution from someone ? Can someone assist ?

Calendar syncing problems

So ive noticed that some of the tasks that are on my google.com calendar arent showing up on my phone, ive cleared data/cache under settings->apps->manage apps... resyncd at least 3 times but still no go, most show up but there are some from last month or so that arent can anyone shed some light on this issue or knows how to fix it?
TY
btw im running cyanogens latest rom if that matters
Bump...
I've reentered tasks on my phone again then resyncd them they showed up in the calendar on Google.com but then cleared cache again and resyncd and they aren't showing on the phone....
any ideas?
to recap- calendar only syncs one month back, everything else doesnt show up
I'm on stock and I've been having huge calendar syncing issue for the past 10 days or so. Syncing is hectic, sometimes it works sometimes not (both directions), sync icon stays on for hours even when sync is off, sync time gets stuck on some old time and date etc.
I tried uninstall wallpapers, power widgets and the rest but with no success.
I'm starting to think it's a problem with google servers :S
PS: gmail and contacts sync is working.
Im glad im not the only one experiencing this, ive swapped roms and whatnot but that didnt help, and yes contacts and gmail are syncing just fine the only thing that isnt is the calendar. Now that you mentioned servers, it makes sense, i was just tinkering around with calendars and have gotten most of them back, but still inst 100%. Really hope this gets fixed asap
Forgot to mention that at some point I thought it was related to a world cup calendar that I added to gcalendar; but even uninstalling that didn't improve the situation much.
Android not yet ready for business use
Hey there!
How are things doing on your side? Since 2 days, my calendar is syncing (nearly) normally.
But this whole issue made me realize that our beloved OS is not yet very reliable, and thus not ready to be used as a business PDA; especially for people who use their calendar a lot and who need constant synchronization in multiple places.

[Q] e-mail sending wrong messages

Hi guys,
Hopefully someone can help me with this problem. I don't know if anyone else has been experiencing thing but I've tried searching through the forums and i think I'm the only one.
I'm using JF3 and i think it's stock but I'm not sure. Anyways, I have three email accounts setup on my phone. There is a Live account, Gmail account, and my university account.
For some reason, every few days all the account disappears and I'd have to add them back onto my phone. I think this has happened three times where I went to check my email and it would tell me to add an account. That's the first problem.
The second problem is when I write an email to someone and send it... it would send that email AND it would forward emails from months ago as well.. so the recipient would receive an email I sent to someone else from like a year ago.
Does that make sense?
If anyone could help it would be appreciated.

Exchange account sync - calendar & contacts not sync properly

Hi,
I came from HTC desire, previously when I used with my office exchange, it managed to sync emails, calendar and contacts perfectly. However, when I changed to SGN, the following situation happen.
- Modify or cancel event from Outlook, phone doesn't get sync (even I sync manually few times), it is still displaying old info.
- Modify contact in Outlook, for example mobile number or name. Phone doesn't get sync and still display the old info.
- Modify contact in phone, for example company, Outlook doesn't get the updated info.
All above are done with process where sync is "triggered" successfully.
Did any of you encounter this problem? Any resolution?
I can't help you, but I'm having problems with email in my exchange account. I have everything set up the same as my last several Android devices, but I can't reliably receive new emails. Sometimes they'll be delayed by a day or so. It's almost like the email client is not using cellular data to update and only using wifi when the device is on. Anyone else have this problem?

Sounds like account & frequency settings than an issue. Have you verified them? Are you on mobile data all the time?
I'm finding that on occasion it stops syncing mail.. the moment you reboot OR go in and manually ask it to refresh it starts doing it normally again no problems...
I am also having the same problem .. However manually refreshing - sometimes still does not work. It is indeed - very annoying .. I believe the problem is in the Email.apk ..
still no solution found, apart from using different E-mail clients off the market, which work with various success ..
I've been through the settings many times but still have the problem. It just decides to stop syncing sometimes.

Any alternate email client you suggest? I start to miss HTC mail client.
Although a bit weird, but after flashing this rom (Cassie's XtraLiteRom KKA ThunderBolted! V2.2) it seem to work fine so far. Still observing and hope it does really work.
I am also using the same ROM - there was no improvement for me. I believe the problem is in the E-mail client. The one we have is version 3.0.0.1. Before on another Android phone I used 2.3.5. I tried to replace the new one with the old one - and then it works. The problem is however that the old one is not scaling up to fit the large Gnote screen. It is a lower resolution.
I tried many other e-mail clients - K-9, Kaiten (both of them could not connect to my exchange server (2010)), Moxier - for some reason crashed my contacts and then I tried TouchDown - which is kind-a good and in terms of connectivity - all worked fine - but there were some integration points that were not fit for my taste.
What I ended up doing was a bit weird - but so far works nicely. I downloaded Google Calendar Sync - which takes your Outlook calendar and syncs it with your Google Calendar. Then I downloaded GO Contact Sync Mod - and that does the same for the Outlook and Gmail contacts. So I have both of them running on my PC and they automatically sync Calendar and Contacts. This way - my phone get them through the Google account and .. a bonus is that I have a backup
To check e-mails - I use the IMAP functionality of K-9 as my exchange server doubles up as IMAP too. For the time being - that's OK for me - and I will be hoping that Google will fix up this E-mail client in the Ice Cream Sandwich .. let's hope it is not I SCREAM sandwich
Alternatively - one can use the old E-mail client - 2.3.5 .. for Contacts and Calendar only and use K-9 for the mail .. It is really a matter of preference
I noticed that this may work. Instead of using push notification, use interval sync. This seems to solve it?
It's really weird and I still can't figure out the root cause.
That's a good clue - it appears to fix it!
Iam using SGN with 500+ emails everyday! absolutely no problem at all. I have been user of XE, XL, Sensation etc I personally think this issue arises when data connectivity of the concern operator is down (GPRS / EDGE) however, on WIFI no issues at all

Nope it's not the connectivity issue, it's the bug on push notification. Apparently this seems to be a bug in samsung, I didn't have issue in HTC previously.
After changing the push to interval pulling, it works perfectly fine now.
It might be related to 2.3.6 I recall having the issue on 2.3.5 and I'm pretty sure I saw it on my p1000 after I modded it.
My note is still stock.

P10 Calendar problems

I like feature to get my phone in silent mode when in the meeting, which is automated in P10! But...
...I have a version of VTR-L09C432B113 and I'm facing a problem with calendar app. After few days of use, I believe my calendar DB get corrupted somehow as it works fine until then. I did clear cache and deleted account corporate calendar associated to it which did fix the problem (Google calendar events worked fine!). However, I face similar problem just after two days later (Now both google and corporate calendars are not visible anymore), plus app gets crashing. I also have a google calendar sync activated to the google account and I have read that other Huawei phones have had a different kind of problems with it. I also tried to install google calendar after 2nd-time problem occurred as a tryout and it seems that google app get crashing as well => which leads my assumption that problem is in the object where calendar events are stored or so.
Questions:
1) Could I just delete this calendar object (common for both apps?) which has meeting/event info in w/out re-creating account every 2 days&Clearing data? If yes, where it´s located and how could I do it?
2) is this known issue in Huawei P10 or other new models?
3) Do you know if "automatic silence"- feature in phone work with google calendar?
Thanks for info!

Dialer - name search stop working

Eva-L09, b394 Android 7.0.
In Dialer name search stop working. For example when I type "6262" this is "Mama".
To fix that go to Contacts app, select "more" - "Organize contact" - "Rebuild index data".
That works but on the next day I should run it again.
Is there permanent fix ?
Thanks in advance !
Happened the same with me and many other mates I think. I m not an expert did not find solution but discovered that T9 search only in numbers if the contact is a DUO contact as well. If not it find by name as before. So the problem is somwhere in DUO I think. Updated DUO but issue remains.
Maybe this helps for some xperts to fix.. soo annoying..
I have the same problem, and I'm desperate on finding a fix. I have googled it down to this post, but with no solution Following...
Copy contact from google account to phone this solved my problem
No, it is not for DUO contacts. I try to delete one contact and create in the phone again.
I think it is working for now.

And how you are syncing your contact in google - manually every time ?
May be with some contact manager have to check what contacts
are stored on the phone and may be delete them and sync from google.

contacts synchronize automatically. I have not deleted contacts from my Google account. I copied them all into the phone's memory. I turned on visibility only for contacts from memory.
I try this method (to display only phone contacts) and it is working for now.
But some fix, could be welcomed
Hi guys,
any luck with finding some permanent fix for this issue (aprat from factory reset and copying contacts to phone)? I have Honor 8 and last month or two having the same really annoying issue ...
skubko
Following up again... I have the Mate 8 & Mate 9, both phones exhibit this issue. Have to rebuild index data every day or two. Mate 9 has had a recent factory reset, and problem still presents.
Any permanent fix?
Honor 9
Just same need to rebuild contact index daily at least, will try using phone contacts copied from Google contacts.
I will leave Huawei because of this...
Problem's gone on VNS-L21 with recent update B398. About bloody time
Well, on my Honor 8 (FRD-L09) the issue still exists and is bothering me every day ...
having trouble with this issue on P10 Lite WAS-LX1 , build C432B206 and EMUI 5.1.1 for several months.
still waiting for fix
Premature joy here. It's still broken after searching for some random contacts, B398 update for VNS-L21 did not fix it. Funny thing is my contract expires in 43 days and I was about to get a new one within days with Huawei P20... Well, not anymore so congrats Huawei, you made me dump you :victory:
