Guys, I just lost all my contacts that wasn't in the SIM:-(
A friend was calling, in a minute I decided to return the call and I clicked on Call History. I saw that the last call was from a day ago and not from a minute ago so I decided to switch on and off the phone. And then all my contacts were gone:-( The SMS though were ther and even the names of people with their numbers were there but not the contacts
Any idea and maybe tool to recover???
Tanks!

Hello,
Not sure if this has been discussed but I did a search in the forum and did not find anything. I had a voice mail two days ago and the bloody voice mail notification icon will not go away after deleting the voice mail. I am on Rogers and called them and they said they know the problem and it is a network thing. Is there a way to manually delete the icon from the phone which is annoying especially when there is no voice mail message waiting for me to hear?
Best regards,
Gilbert
PS: This issue only started two days ago and the rep I spoke to in Tech Support said it has been an issue for six months and they are still working on it!!!!! six months for a stupid fix.
what I always did to clear this was to call your cellphone, leave a vmail, then call your vmail and delete the test vmail you just left. I'm not about on your network but for verizon and AT&T in the US, you have to end the vmail call with * key. If I would jsut hang up, I would have the vmail icon also.
1. Make sure you have good network coverage
2. Call yourself and leave yourself a VM
3. Call the number you use to retrieve VM
4. Listen to and then delete VM using proper procedures. With AT&T, for example, if I don't hit * to hang up it will sometimes do this (vs. using the Red hangup icon).
5. Wait a few secs and it should go away
Just curious if this happend to anyone else. I went to add a new phone number on my phone this morning, but I saw that all my contacts are now labeled "Unknown".
I lost all my contacts.
I did look at my missed calls over the night and there were 3. two friends and it said what time. An "Unknown" number and didn't say what time they called. I can delete the missed calls, but I cannot delete the "Unknown" missed call.
Is it possible someone called my phone and killed my contacts? I only can get the numbers from my history of calls. which is around 10-15 numbers.
Don't know if anyone can help or not. I do have the tilt and am with t-mobile.

i sure hope someone can help you cuz i went through a similar experience TWICE in the last year since i've had my kaiser (last time was TWO DAYS AGO when my beta-based ROM expired cuz of a builtin timebomb). so i feel your pain, but to a minimum degree because i was fortunate enough to have recent backups so i didn't lose more than 10 days of texts, call history, and contacts in both my experiences.
i hope you find a way out...but believe me! there WILL BE a next time! like it or not, data loss is sure to happen to everyone, possibly many times, in some form over their lifetimes.
fortunately, with windows mobile, you can use "pimbackup" (just search for it on xda!) to make regular backups to your memory card of all such otherwise-difficult-to-backup pieces of data like texts, call history, and contacts. in my opinion, it is a much more reliable and manageable way to take backups of precious information than using activesync! in case you are unable to recover your data this time, at least take precautions now to be prepared next time it happens!
IDEA!!! try pimbackup right NOW...look at its logs carefully when it is performing the backup to see how many contacts and call records it can retrieve...who knows, maybe it can read the database in case the OS's native routines are shot. if you think pimbackup is able to see data that your OS can't, then you might want to think about restoring the backup to see if it fixes things...
good luck!
thanks, i will try this when i get home from work today.
I keep all my contacts on my sim card. not sure if it can grab that.
I have searched the forum and have not encountered anything similar to this. I receive calls from my contacts list telling me I just called them, impossible because the device is in front of me. I received a call earlier from a Sprint contact, answered and no one said anything, so i disconnected. Minute later the same contact calls me and asks if i called him because he missed my call. I never called him. 15 min later a T-mobile cust calls me and asks the same thing. So weird. The sprint contact is on a Hero CDMA with CM7, but the T-mobile cust is stock ROM. Im running CM7, newest radio, collin batt tweak and no fancy apps on the device.
Any advice would be appreciated

This might be a long shot, but if nothing shows up in your call log, I would say someone is prank calling with your phone number.
Try making a backup of your contacts if you don't already have one. Also backup your text msgs if you choose. Then export your contacts to your sd. Then try clearing data in dialer, contacts contacts storage and mms. Then reboot into recovery and wipe cache and dev cache. Then reboot and restore your contacts and resetup your mms configuration and dialer configuration. Hope this helps.

Also a longshot... Try phone goggles in settings.

I need some help with GV, but I don't know if the problem is with my account or another GV account. Ok here's what is going on; my friend setup a GV number and account yesterday to use for our business and it goes straight to voicemail when *I* call it. One of our other friends called it sitting right next to us and his phone rings like normal. But I have been trying since last night and it has never rang once, it only says something like "the Google Voice subscriber is unavailable. He said this morning that no one at work is having any trouble with that number either, why is it just me?
We have the EXACT same settings on the app, the EXACT same settings on the web version, he can call my GV number and it rings just fine, I have called his GV number with my GV number AND my Verizon number. Nothing works and I have tried everything! Do Not Disturb is not checked, he has no special call settings for particular numbers, groups, days or times.
It's almost like it's blocking me automatically, but everyone else has no problem. I have had GV since it came out and have never had a problem before. Can anyone please help?
Try deleting your number then add it back.
I can't believe what it was, the only reason I don't feel totally dumb is because it was his fault. He had 2 of the numbers switched around when he texted the phone # to me. In his defense though, he did just get the new number that day. But still, I could've killed him.
Hi,
Just got the verizon S8 a week ago and this has been driving me nuts. When my gf calls, her name doesn't come up. Only displays her number. My contacts are on my gmail account. All other contacts i have show up. She has an iphone and her name showed up on my old s5. Her phone is already set to display caller ID and so is mine. I spend like a few hours aday trying to troubleshoot this.. No luck whatsowever. Weird thing is, sometimes when she calls, her number appears with a ;oli=62 behind it. Example: 714-555-5555;oli=62. I googled oli (originating line information) but it makes no sense to me..
Things i've tried already:
1) resync gmail contacts
2) deleted her contact on gmail/phone/etc
3) readded her contact to phone internal storage and also gmail again
4) tried in safe mode to see if a application is blocking it
5) rebooted phone of course
6) re-adding her contact info with her data deleted from gmail
7) called verizon support
8) and last but not least.. reset/restored original s8 to factory
HELP.. i was gonna try to exchange the phone for another s8 but i really don't think that might be the issue.. i tried researching IPHONE issues with caller ID not showing up but all her settings seems correct.
Thanks in advance.
Same...
I'm having the same issue on my Note 5 after updating to Nougat. I'm having the issue with only one friend, no one else.
I found a temp fix. Go to your a computer and log into your Google contacts. Add that weird number. Example. 555-555-5555;oli=62 to the contact along with the regular number. That should fix it.

Same issue on my new s8+, adding the number plus ;oli=62 on the Google contacts via editing from your Google contacts from googles website works great, thanks for the work around. The only problem I have with these Samsung devices is the slow ass updates. Their still on 7.0 even though 7.1.2 has been released for months
Me too. I have a Note 5 on VZW. Pretty sure it started after the Nougat update as well. And also for only one contact. I know I could add those characters to the contact info, but I want to know why the heck it happens for only one contact. Found this info (not that it cleared up jack for me, lol) - https://www.dialogic.com/webhelp/IMG1010/10.5.3/WebHelp/oli_isdn_sip.htm
i have this same problem. It is on a S6 and has been happening since before the Nougat update. It only happens to me for 2 contacts 1 full time and the other off and on. If i look at the missed calls screen afterwards the phone displays the correct contact just during the incoming call is it not displaying.
the problem actually stopped for me around the time of the roll-out and then started back up a week or so later.
The only connection that i can find is that both of them use Family mobile (T-mobile) service.
Last time i researched this problem, i found the same problem a few years ago with T-mobile and VOIP phones but never found a solution
its the feds
Are you just being a douche or are you serious?

This is the same problem I'm having. I have the S8 on Verizon the two contacts whose numbers don't work are both on T-Mobile. One of the numbers it happens to constantly and has the xxx-xxx-xxxx;oli=62 while the other number does it intermittently w/o the extra's at the end.
"Me To" Bus
Ok, I'm a "Me to" I blocked all phone calls except for people in my contacts, because of all the Spam calls.
But my best friend gets blocked because of this problem.
I have a Samsung S4 Note, Also using Verizon. And google contacts.
I'm going to save him only under Verizon Contacts. And see if that does anything.
He is using a Blu Phone and also using T-Moble.
Anyone have any idea's?
Jim
my phone just started doing this when I installed a reminder ap. I uninstalled it, and it stopped. Hope this helps.
