Hi,
I have this problem that the contact name & picture does not show on my phone incoming calls, call logs etc. I have contact pictures for all my contacts in google, i can see them in the contacts , but the call logs and incoming call does not display the picture
i also notice in the call log it doesnt even show the contact name, just shows the phone number with "unsaved" written below.
when I add a contact to the PHONE contacts and not google then it shows name and picture, but my google contacts dont show. This is so strange as it worked before but suddenly now past few days it doesnt work
I have rooted the phone and used Titanium backup to disable a lot of applications after referring to the safe to remove list, I am familiar with that as i did the same on my S2 i had before.
anyone with any ideas on this please help.
S3 LTE firmware ZHALI2
Clear the Contacts and Contacts Storage data (under Applications Manager>All) and resync. that should solve it.
Failing that reboot in to recovery and clear both cache's.

Normally I clear my call log and delete message every 2-3 days. But today I found Contact History kept all my call log and message even I deleted all.
Is there any way to auto clear the Contact History, or is there any APP for it?
I have no idea what is going on, or why it started, but I've had this issue since I got my Droid 3, and I hoped that when I got my Droid 4, it would stop...
My phone is assigning random facebook pictures to people as their caller ID picture. I will get a phone call from friend A, and it will show the picture of friend B, or some other random facebook picture.
If I assign a picture to a contact on my phone (such as one I took with the camera), if I receive a call it will show the picture correctly, however, if I dial that person it will show some other random facebook picture.
For some people, the picture comes up correctly, but for many it does not.
Certainly there is some cache somewhere I can clear to fix this, right?
If you have FB contacts syncing, the phone will try to auto pair them with your Google contacts.
Mine tries to tie my info that I have in Gmail for my alternative e-mails/numbers with my dad's fb info even though our display names are listed differently(he's in fb as Billy, and my info is under William)
If that's what's wrong to fix it, in contacts go into the contact that is messed up. Hit menu, and look for separate(under more).
Alright, so I am still having this problem, even after uninstalling the facebook apps...
I want to clear my Contacts Storage, but in Menu > Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Contacts Storage the "clear data" button is grayed out.
Any way to clear this WITHOUT doing a factory data reset?
Thanks!
Have you tried joining the contacts (I assume they are already joined), then setting the google profile as Default? That will make their name and photo the one you assigned to the google contact. Let me know if that works.
I own a GT-P1000 and randomly today, as I was about to send a text message, I found to my horror that my inbox has reverted to zero. When I try to connect it to my computer to possibly fish for these data in its memory, I find that it only goes to charging mode. Any possible way I can retrieve my messages? The tab has already deleted my contacts a few months ago and I have relied on my inbox to identify senders of incoming calls and messages. A lot of information regarding to my work were stored in those messages so it would be a huge huge help to me if I can get them back

Sorry to hear about that. if you have been syncing your tab to google then by default your contacts should have been saved. you could at least resurrect them that way. as for sms and mms i think you are out of luck. i normally back up messages with the app 'sms backup & restore' from google play. it's free.

I have a strange problem. When I receive a call from people stored in phone Contacts sometimes I can see the name who is calling, many times there is only phone number and no name!? All those calls are from people stored in Contacts.
All contacts was stored to the phonebook at one time by sync with my Gmail.
I look and tried everything in Options but I still have no solution.
I even tried to erase some contacts and added them back again and it s still the same.
Please help me!!!

Use other dialer (download any dialer from google store) . I had the same problem and this helped
I also had the same problem, I added the same number prefixed +44 as a secondary contact and that fixed it. And then I got a new dialer.
The problem maybe is with the duplicacy of contacts. If a no. is added twice then, no name is shown.. Also make sure contacts to display option has phone memory has phone memory selected and all contacts are also copied in phone memory & no duplicate contacts..
Hi s_assist,
Can you tell me how to do the below step as mentioned above.
Go to setting -> Contact Storage : Clear Cache, Clear data
In Lenovo K3 note, "clear cache" & "clear data" are in DISABLE state in CONTACT STORAGE.
Can you tell me how to proceed further?
Thanks in advance

SOLVED !!!
I was also facing such hanging problem ! sometimes all contacts tab in WhatsApp used to load very slow!
I checked on many forums,
I had a Chat with Lenovo Support team, they suggested to do a factory reset,
I have also been to authorised service center, even they suggested to do a factory reset
But before doing a factory reset I thought to clear all data for Whatsapp (that reset my whatsapp) and since then I am not facing such issue !!
After Whatsapp reset, its about 5 days I am using my phone but no hang issue
1.
'Backup chats' from whatsapp setting
2.
Settings > apps > whatsapp > Clear Data
(this resets whatsapp, like new installation)
3.
uninstall whatsapp
4.
restart phone, and reinstall whatsapp from google play store
5.
run and sign in to whatsapp, It prompts to restore chat from backup, you can restore if you wish to (I restored)
6.
bang ! done, check yours...
P.S.
My all Contacts/account SYNC is ON
Cheers
I am facing the same problem with k3 note. Some of my saved contacts are not displayed. Need some help.
Hi guys, since 2 months google dialer started showing number+surname instead of name+surname when i receive a call.
Only some old contacts appears fine. I've tried to delete dialer, contact and messages data but nothing was solved.
nb. if i search for that contacts in the contacts, name were fine
Just tested on mine and its Name+Surname on the top and number underneath. So it's showing all these 3 things at once. You sure they're saved correctly and synced to your Google account?

It's due to syncing, I had a similar issue. I don't remember which syncing option I switched off but it did the trick. I also had to delete those strange names from the contact list.
