I've noticed strange issue with contacts.
All of them are duplicated if I'll access them from "Phone" app.
What's strange, is while accessing them from "Contacts" app all looks good.
Also contacts on Gmail account are fine.
Can anyone check this please?

I was facing same problem but after updating phone app problem gone and my auto sync is off also
Same problem here, both with Android 8 and 8.1, until the last version of the Phone app. All the contacts with WhatsApp, Telegram, etc information are duplicated. I don't know if it's a problem of the app and so the resolution must be from Google or of Android.
I think it's a Google problem, because in Google Messages and Google Contacts and in other apps that access contacts all is fine.
I think the problem is with the stock Android
It's a bug in the Nokia dialer. Google contacts app is fine.

The dialer is from Google We have the Google Phone app, like Nexus and Pixel. Just to specify.
However, I also believe that the problem is with the dialer.
My dialer updated a couple of weeks ago and the issue was resolved.
I have up to date dialer and contact app but problem still exists.

You are right, it's the official Google dialer. Oneplus had the same issues, so did the essential phone and the Mi A1. For as far as I can see they fixed it with a software update.
Hi people, i still have this issue unfortunately, duplicated contact... I have now the last update, i did the reset phone twice, but still the same issue... Anyone can help ?

Ever since flashing JM6, I've had problems with the Messaging app. After syncing Facebook contacts, using either adding a regular account un Settings->Accounts & Sync->Add Account or using the official Facebook app, all contacts properly sync with the photos.
I can confirm this in the Phone/Dialer/Contacts app and all my contacts are properly synced with photos. However, in the Messaging app, all icons are blank/have the head icon.
Anyone else have this issue/know a fix?
Bump.
Update:
I installed Handcent SMS and it displays the contact pictures properly, synced from Facebook. I don't know what's wrong with my Messaging app. Still the same in Roto-JME.
I tried clearing the cache for the Messaging app but it only cleared the changes I made to the settings. Anyone?

Thanks, I've previously used syncmypix on my first Android phone, however this isn't what I want. There's obviously a problem because it used to work now it doesn't.
I don't want to install another app just to download contact photos, the Facebook app already does it for me. Handcent SMS displays them correctly, and besides, I want the photos to be on a separate contact profile -- "Facebook", I don't want them merged to my Gmail as they constantly change anyway.
The only problem is that the Messaging app doesn't display them anymore, ever since flashing JM6 and still doesn't after flashing Roto-JME.
Did you merge your google contacts with your facebook ones? Usually it will choose the facebook pic by default over the google one but sometimes it will not and you need to edit the contact and tell it to make the facebook part of the contact the primary one. Then it will always choose the FB contact pic and even update as your FB contact changes their profile pic. This is for JM6 for mee too.

Thanks for the reply.
By merge do you mean "sync with existing contacts"? Yes if that.
I tried what you said, even setting the Facebook profile as default over the Google one leads to nothing. Still no pic. It's weird because the contacts/phone/dialer has the pictures correctly, and so does Handcent, but not the default Messaging app.
Even the default Messaging app does not having pictures for Google contacts with pictures. Everything is blank.
Bump. Anyone?
did you fin the solution for this?
EDIT : I tried syncmypix, I think it works for me. except the colorize widget has problems with Messaging. Its showing Gray and White
Hello,
Have a french unbranded Z since 4 days, and have a major issue.
When I try to show some contact profiles the app directly crash.
FOr some of them I can see the top infos, but if I try to scroll down it crash.
Is there a problem with some characters, formating or something else ?

Backup the application with Titanium backup (so the data is backed up) then clear it's data, and resync your contacts. If that does not fix the issue, screenshot the crash popup (if any) and post it.
My phone is not rooted. I can't use Titanium. :/
And I have the 253 update.
I have synched my contacts from Google, Hotmail, etc... Same as on my "old" SG Note 2 but it had not this problem.
The only difference are the links with "Xperia Facebook" and other Xperia service like this.
I've just had a similar issue and pinpointed it to displaying Ubersync contacts in contacts settings, "filter", so I backed up my contacts in Gmail then wiped them from my Phone, uninstalled Uber, restored my contacts by importing the backup file made with Gmail, installed Sync.Me and everything works perfect with full res images.

Do u use any Facebook sync app like ubersync Facebook? It is known to have issue with the xperia z and the contact app. So uninstall it and just sync it with the normal Facebook app.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
I use Ubersync too.
After searching with the contact editing, it seems to be the birthday date who cause problem..
Maybe related to the formating used by Ubersync?
I gonna try your solution, thanks.

It's definitely the app that's at fault but couldn't say what exactly is causing the issue. I exported to all three formats and put them on the SD, then when you run the restore option in Phone settings it will pick up the right file, and Sync.ME like I say is perfect.
I had similar issue with ubersync too.
Didn't need to backup/restore contacts, simply just uninstalled the app and all worked fine after that.
Hi folks,
I've just noticed that my contacts are being uptdated (randomly) with Facebook photo profile of it respective contacts.
The awkward thing is that I don't have any "photo sync" app installed in my phone.
How Google Contacts are taking this profile pictures?
I've searched similar threads about this without success.
Thanks in advance. :good:
It's possible that Facebook has done something that actually allows syncing properly, like using the new API's in Android. Who knows though, Moto mentions on their site that it doesn't work stock, and you have to use a 3rd party app to sync it. Only thing I could guess is that the Facebook app has gained API support for contacts and linking. Dig into your Accounts on settings, and see if your FB account lists sync contacts as on.

I forgot to mention that I've deactivated FB sync in my phone. That's why I'm wondering.
Maybe it's a new API that is syncing the photos, but why just some contacts?
Yesterday was just one, and now it has been updated 2 more contacts. And again, randomly.
Google+ maybe?

I don't have that problem except ok Google when screen is locked, have you granted all permissions in the permissions app and auto start the apps.
For Google contacts, you can download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.contacts&hl=en
Try this

Ya, that's what we're saying in the GOOGLE OK not working thread. but hey, you got contacts working. that was driving me nuts for a long while.
Oh, also depending on which messaging app you use, I use hangouts, the person that's "related" to a phone number may not update even if you have that person's phone number in contacts. It's a painful way to fix it, if you have lots of this happening, but it's quick enough. lmk if you want that.
Right
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.

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...

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
