I have a stock HTC one
all I have done is freeze some of the apps as per the list on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1681729
Sadly I left the email setup to last ( having set up all the contacts, apps etc) and the mail prog seems to be crashing.
I could just manage to set one account at and received a test email, which I could reply to but that's it.
when I open it it is incredibly slow and I cant get the menu button to work , the back button also doesn't work.
eventually I get a message saying that mail has stopped working.
I will try enabling everything and see if that makes it work but I thought I would ask here if anyone had experienced such problems or knew of a cure
thanks
That list contains about 50 apps, including mail...

Not an answer to your question but try Aqua mail.
Much better than k9 or stock.
Hi
Am I ended up doing a hard reset
Added mail accounts and all was fine
Disabled bloat, checked mail, all good.
Added games, checked all good.
Added apps. Checked all good.
That was 4 hours ago and it's happening again
Any ideas
Thanks
disabling apps may result to other apps crashing because it may be dependent on that app.
I was quite careful about what apps ive disabled and am pretty sure that is not whats causing it ,I checked it after I disabled the apps and it worked fine (for a few hours)
The only thing I can think of is one of the apps I downloaded. But I am hesitant to think its that as all the apps were installed on my sensation and the mail was fine
The only apps that required the "non authorised apps" warning were mm tracker and quick office pro so I have disabled them and restarted the phone. I then e mail tried the mail prog
still no joy
the thing is even if I enable all the disabled apps it still doesn't work
I know that I can get another app but that doesn't help my ocd about setting the phone up
after rebooting and loading apps I found that DW contacts was causing the crash
hard reset and re load of all apps except dw and all is good
Hi, i need your help...
I have two HTC One, one is mine and one of my girlfriend... i restored a nandroid backup of my htc one into her phone and i removed all accounts and all personal data... but despite i have done this, when from my desktop pc i select install on a google play store app both phones download the app... and the strange thing is that we have different google accounts.... i tried removing and reinstalling google play apk , and i tried deleting data of google play services but nothing to do...
anyone of you may suggest me something to solve this problem?
thanks to all
A.C.
When you installed your nandroid on her phone, you overwrote your email account/play registration onto her phone
Open the Play store app, click on the 3 dots top right
Choose settings click on Account, tap on add account add GF's Google account details
choose account to use
Hi All
i'm on ZUI 2.1.140
Google Play works normal
i wonder how to import / sync google contact since on account & sync there is no Google Contacts options
Thanks
You just have to install this 3 apks in this order, Google Contacts Sync, Google Contacts and Google Play Store. Don't forget to install Google Play Services if you need it.
Here's what you need. https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=93727

Looks like the sync adapter does take care of the syncing for the calendar, works for me after the sync status has completed. But you could always choose to install Google calendar from the playstore. Then open Zui calendar > settings > then change the default calendar to Google calendar.
I managed to sync the contacts, my only problem is, profile pics are not synced. I had one Rom installed from Franco, the Sync Adapter was preinstalled in this rom, sync was with Pics.
Now on zui 2.5, no chance to get the pics.

Mine stopped working after a couple weeks but I got it going again. Definitely a hassle, though.
A little background: After a lot of playing with Mokee 7.1.2 (CONSTANT hard freezes with blue LED making me miss my alarm the next morning), RR, AICP, etc. I decided to just try and make ZUI work for me between Magisk for root and Nova Launcher. I had brought up a clean install from QFIL flash of ZUI 2.5.335, flashed TWRP 3.1.0 (LR.Team version) to recovery, flashed 2.5.415 update zip, installed Google Play Store, Play Services, Contacts, and Contacts Storage from apkmirror.com and set about making it mine and disabling Chinese system apps and so on. Spent some time screwing with Safe Center (which thinks AdAway is a virus, but oh well), it was pretty livable. Only hard freezes if I use bluetooth with my car too long, which IS pretty annoying. But I've never had it freeze overnight and make me late for work, and hey, the camera Just Works, and U-Health is pretty cool.
Anyway, after about 3 weeks it was working pretty well for me, I miss some of the CAF/AOSP kind of things, but at least they're deploying security updates even if it's still Nougat 7.0 based. But then I noticed a week ago contacts stopped syncing. I could switch sync off & back on for Contacts but it wouldn't update. I tried wiping data for all the Google things and even deleting and re-adding Google accounts, but that just resulted in no more switch to tell it to sync Contacts. Dammit.
I DID get it working again today: I removed all the Google accounts from Settings, then uninstalled Google Play Store (com.android.vending), Google Contacts (com.google.android.contacts), and Google Contact Storage (com.google.android.syncadapters.contacts - I used Titanium Backup to uninstall the package since I bought that long ago), and deleted the updated Google Play Services apk from /data/apps (com.google.android.gms - use whatever file explorer with root access you like, I'm a fan of Mixplorer from XDA Labs but I'm sure ES File Explorer will work great). Rebooted. Gmail app doesn't know what to do with itself now.
I then reinstalled with Contacts 2.0.8, Contacts Storage 7.0 (API 24 target, woo; maybe this will work better than the newer 7.1+/API 25 target one that I tried before), Play Store 7.9.30, and Play Services 11.0.55 (240 version - Android 5.0+, ARM/ARM64 v8 abi, nodpi) from apkmirror.com and specifically made sure to give them all full permissions access instead of leaving it at the more paranoid "prompt" settings. I then was able to re-add my Google accounts and get Play store and Gmail and all the other Google apps to see them again with a little effort (basically had to re-do all the Google apps; Play Books, Play Music, Drive, Gmail, Calendar, etc.).
But contact sync seems to be working again, both for new contacts created through a computer web browser and created on the phone. I'm a little worried it's only temporary, I guess we'll see. But deleting Google accounts, full deleting 4 packages, and reinstalling with full permission access seemed to work.

How did you manage to sync contacts? And does anyone else have "ok google" greyed out?
I am on zui 2.5.435 st installed via QFIL, BL unocked, rooted Super SU. The sync initially worked but after a few days stopped working as well.
New setup works again. But if I click on "Refresh" in google calendar the Syncing does not stop. Do you have the same issue? There is something broken.
Why can't we just use openGAPPS?

What ever I try. The Sync will not work. I reinstalled the google accound many times. Deleted all google apps. Started with Contact app but whatever i try. It always says: This account already exists on your device. Somehow after installing Google Contacts Sync it downloaded 47 of the 1250 contacts to the phone. Its not visible in Google contacts. those contacts are the contacts I recently added in the last year. Online I see all my contacts. Why cant I find all other contacts on my phone? I even changed data restrictions. Set it on "no restriction" and cleared cash and all after deleting google account end tried all possible varieties of this.. Still no success in the Contact app.. Weird thing is that when I ask Google app verbally to call some of my contactst it works. So all the contacts are clearly still in my google acount and even linked to my voice command for dialing. Only the contact apps dont show them.. What is wrong here? Spend all night trying everythng. Nothing seems to work..
Hi all,
I just bought the new Xiaomi mi a2, Oreo 8.1.0 with the June's security patch.
And i have duplicate contact on the phone app.
Anyone figured out how to get rid of dupe contacts on the phone app? On the contacts app, they show up fine. But, on the phone app, I sometimes show three listings for the same person - due to whatsapp and duo being added for the same contact.
When i uninstalling the Whatsapp app all the the dupe are gone, but when i reinstall it they are coming back in.
I tried to sync Whatsapp off on Accounts settings, but that didn't help me either, it removed all the dupe, but after i deleted a contact all the dupe came back (this is weird), and when i'm comparing to my friend's settings, he didn't turn off the sync of Whatsapp but his phone app knows how to deal with the contacts.
Please advise,
Thanks.
It´s an android bug. I reported it on android bugtracker last year, marked as future release............but yeah........it´s google.

Just install Google phone app from playstore. It will detect contacts and ask your permission to delete.
There is no way to uninstall the Phone app,
I contacted Xiaomi support,
And this is thier weird answer
Hi Ido,
Greetings from Xiaomi!
Thank you for writing to us.
Sorry for the delay in response.
I understand that you are facing the issue with your Mi A2 due to duplicate contacts. I regret the inconvenience.
With respect to your concern, would like to inform you that this an inbuilt feature of Mi A2/A1 phone that Whatsapp and Google account contacts could not be merged and they remain separately shown in the contact list of the device.
I regret that there is no way to merge the duplicate contacts of both the accounts. We regret the discomfort this may have caused you.
However, I will definitely transfer your feedback to our concerned authorities so that they can work upon the same. We assure you that we would do our best in order to avoid any further inconvenience to our customers. We value your opinion and see it as an opportunity to learn and improve.
Hope your bond with Xiaomi stays forever and we walk a long distance together.
Please get in touch with us if you need any further assistance.
Regards,
Suman

Same here in google phone App. But no problem in google contact app.
No solution yet ?
Turn off contacts sync from Whatsapp account in user and accounts in the settings.
You can delete the whole account and add it again and turn off the syncing
Solution that worked for me. Hope it does for you.
So I had this problem too, I bought the phone just last Monday. I found a solution googling it in other language which suggested the format of the phone numbers saved in your google contacts (or any contact manager you may use), as far as it not the same as whatsapp, the contacts won't merge.
I migrated from an Honor device to Mi A2 and as I exported (yes, exported) my contacts from Google and opened the file in Excel, I noticed there were some special characters between some numbers that were not visible on the phone app. Maybe your previous device or your contact manager does it too. So I basically exported my contacts, deleted every special character between numbers, deleted spaces, deleted all contacts from my google account and imported contacts again from the edited file. I thought that would solve the problem but it didn't. I then edited one of the contacts again to add the country code that was missing for this particular contact (+1 for US) and Google automatically added spaces in certain manner depending if it was a cellphone or a home number (depending of the count of digits that vary in my country), I saved the contact and that specific google contact merged with the whatsapp contact.
So I figured, if I let google apply the spaces (or even special characters for US phone numbers "-") as I delete one digit and type it again (assuming the phone number had no spaces and had already the country code) and save it, the contacts will merge. I did not find a way to do it in bulk, so I had to edit one by one and let google do the formatting for each one. That did the trick for me, no more duplicate contacts.
This worked for new contacts also. Even though when I added a new contact, and it appeared duplicated, because I let google do the formating, after some time it eventually merged.
If you find a way to do it in bulk it would help others save maybe around two hours of editing your contacts. I hope my solution works also for you.
Best regards,
Your savior.
I solved the issue by updating the phone app. If you don't find update in Playstore, go to Apps and uninstall updates of the Phone app (as you can't uninstall the phone app, just uninstall the updates). Once done, you'll find update for Phone app in Playstore. Just update and duplicate contacts issue gets resolved.
I cant delete update the phone dialer app, and cant find any update in playstore...
This phone dialer apps is weird shows duplicate between whatsapp and default contact..
Any sugesstion ? Im in oreo august security patch 9.6.6.4.0

The uninstall updates option is hidden in the three dot menu on the upper right corner..
I have the same problem as well.Unfortunately installing and reinstalling the phone app didn't work for me. The contacts in the Contacts app are showing ok, but not in the phone app.
Problem solved
Use this apps
Twitch contact formatter
Basically this change a format number of contact into international standard
So any application messaging will recognize and merge the contacts ( i just tested with whatsapp)
1 contact will be have some number in one formated
Ex: mia (if merged correctly)
Xxxxx for native call
Xxxxx for wa
Xxxxx for any messaging
So there is no duplicate number again

I found a solution to this problem. Basically it's some kind of bug in the latest version of Contacts app, not the Phone app.
1. Just uninstall the updates of Contacts app (Settings -> Apps and Notification -> See all apps -> Click on Contacts app -> Click on uninstall updates option in the three dot menu on the upper right hand corner)
2. Just open the Contacts app now, it'll automatically merge the Contacts.
3. If you want, update the app now. The changes will persist.
This app solved the problem for me: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.contapps.android.merger&hl=es
Welcome to a 2018 phone that duplicate contacts for each app (whatsapp, telegram, duo, messenger....etc.) (facepalm)

Just bought my A2 and have the same issue with double or ripplet contacts.. Can hide them in contacts but shows in phone app no mather what
Hi All,
Just go to digital well being under settings, then select do not disturb and under exception go to calls. Now select all list of contacts. Now wait for a while. It will merge slowly. Now last things is to deselect all that you want. Now you will no longer see any duplicate entries. It's a sync issue. Go and quick fix it.
Are installing unwanted app for a google problem? ok i have the solution.
go to setting -> account -> whatsapp account in account sync deactivate the sync option.
go to setting -> app -> search for "contacts" app -> storage -> clear storage.
all your contact are going to be removed, and google is going to sincronyze your contact again, without duplicate.
Sorry my english.
i hope this work for you, like is work for me
I solved this issue using Twitch 2! app.
In app settings, remember to enable "com.whatsapp" from providers list, and then just "save selected" in the main screen.
hope it helps.

This method works perfectly, for the latest version of Digital Well being you cannot select contacts, instead you can star duplicate contacts, and then go to accounts and sync contacts for the account. Check your phone app and you will see the starred contacts will be merged into a single contact.
Thanks for sharing this info
Hello Everyone. I bought the orange 512gb X70 Pro+ from TradingShenZhen, and overall I am satisfied (but not 100% happy) with the CN Rom phone (BTW if I have the chance to flash it with Funtouch Global OS, I would do (pay) it without hesitation!).
After I set it up for first time (english language, wifi connection, etc) I downloaded all google apps I think are necessary for me (drive, photos, play store, etc) and I logged in with my Google account in all of them, downloaded WhatsApp, banking apps, and others. Everything seemed to work well. Then I saw that the phone was not receiving some notificactions like WhatsApp automatically, so I found a Set Up "Guide" from a website that was in German (I google translated it) and follow the instructions to remove CN apps from the Phone, and after that the phone started to receive WhatsApp notifications even if the app is not open.
Not having the Hey Google feature, Android Auto, the Google search bar in the main screen, not having the ability to clone apps (android default feature). Or setting Google as default (phone, messages, gmail, calendar, calculator, chrome). Manually setting up permissions, notifications, removing CN apps, or changing settings in general... I still can live with it, taking in mind those should be done once per each factory reset only.
My only "problem" so far: going Back to Google (mainly Google Drive Backup), the phone is backing up WhatsApp chats, media files, contacts; BUT the phone is not backing up: Apps, SMS messages, and Device Settings. When I launch Google Drive app, and click on "back up now" it says "couldn´t backup data. Try again later", I have tried the disable screen locks, logging out, loggin back in, force stop, clear cache, rebooting, uninstall and reinstall Google Drive, backup from Google One (it is stuck at "Starting first backup..."), and the problem persists. Fortunately for me, most important data is backing up, because in a worst case scenario (if my phone is completely dead) I could restore Google Backed up data and then download all the apps from Play Store, log in, and set the device settings manually.
I hope this information helps in someway and also if you know another step I could try for the Google Drive backup issue, or if there is a reliable app that can create backup for Apps, SMS, and device settings; I would really appreciate You to let me know.
Have a nice day!

You cannot have "G" futures (Hey Google feature, Android Auto, the Google search bar in the main screen..) as all these apps are not system apps. In Chinese model only Google Play Services are system app, all other apps are installed on request.
