Secure Folder Not Secure need HELP!! - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Could you please help me why my contacts from the secure folder are showing in my normal contacts ?
It says Work Profile Contacts.. very strange i thought the secure folder is to hide everything and secure everything from the ''standard' phone.

Indeed surprised to find that the contracts from secure folder show as 'work contacts' in regular contacts. It shows the contact and phone number, but reports that the 'contract cannot be found'...
Not sure whether this only happens since Pie beta...

This seems to be an issue with the Pie Beta. You need to report it to Samsung and let them resolve it. I would reinstall Oreo back onto your device.

ActiveSync is deleting my contacts on my Wing

So I have never had this problem before. I want to backup my contacts from my phone into my outlook 2007, they flat out delete all my contacts on my phone! Not only that but if I get a new number on my phone and I want to update my outlook on my desktop, it gets deleted. This gets very annoying and I have never had this problem before, normally they merge my numbers from both. I have looked for a setting to fix this, but I have failed to do so.
If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated! This gets very annoying when i have to go around asking for numbers AGAIN.
can't remmeber the exact details.. but if you were to delete the relationship of your PPC-PC, then add them again, you will have the option of saying which one has priority. Check those options carefully.
you can either do that or you can check your partnership settings...most likely you have it set so that if there is a conflict the system will replace items on your device... you can set it so that it dosnt do that or it replaces item on your computer instead

Deleting Message from TF3D screen deletes it permanently

Hi,
Whenever I delete any message from the TF3D screen using the right soft key options Menu>Delete, it gets deleted permanently from the device(does not show up even in the "Deleted Items" of the Messaging Folders. Although it asks for the confirmation first, but wouldn't it have been better if the message went into the deleted items folder first?(just the way it happens in Messaging)
Any way to make TF3D Delete option behave like the delete option of the Messaging application?
Thanks.
I have noticed the same on my phone, but didn't realise it was related to deleting via TF3D. Have you found a solution yet?
No...no solutions yet.
Still no solutions to this, as this is driving me mad.
I like to keep my Inbox 'clean' and sometimes delete to quickly but go to deleted items to recover the message. This doesn't happen anymore, so once it's gone, it's gone.
Anyone know of a tweak?
I solved this by changing my active sync settings...I made it so reconcillation did not keep changes on my phone...only allows deleion on my computer microsoft server owA account
Is this the same for SMS, as this is what I'm referring to. Apologies for not be clear first time around.
go into advance config and under the MESSAGING tab, make sure "Max deleted SMS" is not set to 0. If it is, everything you delete will be deleted permanently and will not be in the deleted items box. It's funny because I hate having to empty out the deleted items box everytime i delete a text...i want it to be gone immediately.
For emails if you go to Tools - Options - Storage tab just change the 'Empty deleted items' to 'manually' then I presume you should be able to do it from your PC.
If that doesn't work on its own then also add 'deleted items' as a sync folder (menu - Tools - Manage Folders) so then should definitely work...

Contacts not pushing to Google?

I have noticed this issue for awhile now. If i make a change to a contact on my phone it never gets pushed to GMail. Has anyone else noticed this? I have made sure Contacts was checked in Data Synchronization, i have even made changes, unchecked it then rechecked it and watched it sync. But those changes never make it to Google's servers. I know it worked in RC33 but i don't think it has worked since.
I do a lot of flashing and constantly keep losing new contacts or updates because of this. Its kind of a pain in the arse to remember what and who i changed in my contacts to update when i am at a machine.
Anyone?
Well you can buy mybackup pro and backup your contacts...But make sure you uncheck syncing of contacts in the data/synchronization settings. Never ran into that problem before.
you can try force-updating.
after you make a change, go to settings>data syncronization, uncheck and then check again the "Contacts" field, it will force a sync.
You should consider moving to a cupcake build already too, if only for the camera
Same deal
I have been having problems trying to sync up my contacts too. Everything is correct and the way that I want it on my phone and I want to push those updates to Google, but it constantly fails. Sometimes it fails with an little exclamation point next to the sync icon and sometimes it doesn't. I have tried it on both my rooted and unrooted g1 and I still have no luck even though I switch the sim card. I use mybackup pro and have been for a while but the file output format is nothing that can be uploaded to google (ie csv file) so I'm not sure where to go from here. Anyone have any ideas as to why the sync fails? My only thought is that Google refuses to sync because I am trying to sync a large number of contacts on my phone, with a very small number of contacts on google servers. Xmarks (formerly foxmarks) for Firefox does the same thing, it won't allow you to sync a large amount of information one way without giving you a popup message so your away of it just in case you don't realize that you are overwriting data. Maybe Google servers are similar only without the warning message?
My contacts NEVER sychronized with Google. Gmail works fine, MyMaps also synchronize but contacts and calendar never. And I don't even have these options in Data Synchronization menu (only Auto-synk and Gmail). Any ideea how I can fix this?
Thank you!

this is true... but you could import existing sim contacts... could this be Infinix's problem?
A bug with the MM update is that contacts are not tied to incoming calls. The caller Id shows the number only. I have to manually add that number to the existing contact , then future calls show the contract name and info.
After updating to Marshmallow, for the best experience & smoothness is to format after.
However, these are common Problems and Their Solutions
Problem 1: Contact not displaying names after making or receiving a call*
Go to your google settings and remove all google account, after some minutes, add them back and your problem should fixed then.
Problem 2: The phone was successfully upgraded to Mashmallow but fails to boot up
You can go back to Android One using the same steps you used in upgrading. But*
If you have Mashmallow Update on your device or PC, run it again or flash it via SP Flash Tool.*
Problem 3: Not having access to files and document
During initial setup most of us mistakenly put ourselves in*guest account. This means the phone sees you as a guest. Hence, it restricts your use of the phone. Please check if guess mode is enabled, if you’re on it, reset your phone to factory settings.*
Problem 4: Battery drain
Wait for few days for the software to settle, if the problem persist, then go to settings>>>Apps>>check apps that are currently running**on your phone and force stop the ones you are not using.
Important Notice
If you’ve not yet*upgraded to Android 6.0*and you wished to do so, please back up your files, document, videos etc on your memory card and then remove it from your device before you start the upgrade.

There is nothing like that in play store I saw zenui dialer and contact
You have to save each incoming call to the already existing Gcontact. Then those #s/contacts work.
just clear contact storage in app management.
after that begin contact sync.

Pull contacts or set USB extern

Hello all,
My XT1254's screen and touch got broken.
Ineed a contact from my phone and therefor I either need my LOCAL contacts.pim or whatsapp backup (also saved local). The phone will be repaired by next week shortest.
The phone is rooted, and I have been working with ADB. ADB though, keeps unauthorizing my phone and therefor I am in no ability to do anything. The phone's USB-debugger is ON.
To access my whatsapp back-up I need to enter my internal device, BUT sicne the phone gives three possible options every time I plug in: I am not able to switch to USB-mount.
My teamWin recovery is touch based, so no mount possible here either unfortunatly..
Please help me, I have a date with the certain contact on saturday and I have not been able to find her facebook or whatsoever.
All help highly appreciated.

Just going to ask this as you didn't specifically say no -- but you are sure you didn't have this contact listed in the contacts app so that it automatically backed to Google Contacts? In which case you just go into Gmail on any web browser and there are all your contacts. Just for this reason, I never use "local" only contacts, I use Gmail contacts so everything is synced no matter whether I use my phone or my computer.
But if the answer is no, and you only created it on the local category, sorry I can't help you. But I did help someone else who thought they had lost all their contacts one time, because they didn't know their contacts synced with Google (if you created it the right way).

The newest part of the contacts have not been synced, so the number of the date on saturday is not in there.
I think TWRP provides ADB access by default on boot, no authorization required. Have you tried booting recovery and then trying to do whatever you want to do via ADB?
