Hey there, i have a rather odd problem. The contact app crashes if i select the owner entry, i.e. my own entry.
I'm running CM11, so I'm on the stock rom. Except for this small issue, everything thing is working fine.
Just for your information: The contact was working, but after an edit it just started to crash.
So, what can I do about it?
Greetings BrainInBlack
UPDATE:
After a bunch of research, i had made a forced re-sync of my contacts, delete and reboot, the problem still persists. I.e. the data over at google hast to be corrupted as well. What can i do about it? I really need that feature, because i use my own contact to share my contact data quickly to other people.
Yes i could make a new entry, but that would generate redundant data and doesn't fix the problem at all. It's just a workaround.
Sorry guys, but i have to push this thread... still not resolved!
EDIT/UPDATE:
Narrowed down to the mobile number used by the phone... i.e. if i add the number used by the phone, to any contact, the app will crash.

I have a Tilt on Dutty's DualTouch v3 rom. everything has been running fine until a few days ago when I noticed that my Messaging services was unable to open and receive messages. i have clicked Messaging from the Start menu and even through the Today screen icons, yet nothing opens. All I see is the box with the circles loading and then nothing happens. I have had a bunch of people ask me if i received their texts and it seems that not only can i not open Messaging, but i am not getting any text messages or any email from my Gmail account that is synced up with Messaging. Can someone please offer me advise on how to fix this? i would prefer a fix that didn't involve installing another rom. thank you for your help.
No ROM, but no email either
Not an answer to your problem, but I'm having the same issue running on the factory ROM on my Tilt. I haven't installed anything new lately to account for the happening. The most recent install was Opera Mobile, but a quick uninstall yielded no improvements with Messaging.
I'm pretty much to the point of wiping the slate and starting over. Anyone else with this issue?

Whats your provider? Alot of AT&T people have been having issues recently with the data/messaging plan do you have another phone you can plug your sim card into and test?
Problem solved
Provider is AT&T, but I actually found another thread further down my search list:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=350862
I actually had two directories that started with 'Inbox.mst2....' and I copied them to my computer before deleting. The first of the two deleted just fine, but the other wouldn't budge until I went in through the File Manager on the phone itself. Luckily enough, I didn't lose any of my messages or emails with all of this.
It could very well be linked to Xpressmail, but that's strictly a guess.

Hello,
I have search extensively with various keywords both in the top-level forums as well as Google and I cannot find a solution to this problem. Actually, I have only found one other person on another board who has even mentioned it (no replies yet) so I wanted to ask here.
I have an at&t Fuze and when I compose a message and type in a recipient name and select "Check Names" from the menu, it gives me a list of names and when I select one, it fills in the field correctly and then immediately crashes.
I have tried various cooked ROMs as well as the stock at&t ROM with them all producing the same results. Currently I am running Monx's ROMeOS 1.40.1 (which smokes BTW!) and I have tried every possible setting I can think of (including Adv. Config) to no avail. There are no other issues with the phone other than this. Could this be a HW issue? It might be a stretch considering the symptoms but I am willing to believe anything at this point...
Please Help!
Just found this thread - Im having the SAME issue... Im surprised that nobody else has the issue or that nobody else uses Check Names...
perhaps its a corrupt contact entry. Have you tried deleting and recreating it? Or is it happening for all contact entries?
Good thought - but unfortunately its happening for good contacts. Even NEW contacts. Occasionally it will find the contact, put the name in, then close out or when it cant find a contact, it will just close out. Furthermore, its only happening for e-mail message types. MMS/SMS the checknames function works fine...
I had the same problem with one of the latest ROMeOS 1.80.* versions.
Currently I don't have the problem with 1.95.1
If I remember right, if you start with adding the receipient it works, but if you first type your text message, and then add a contact, it will crash.
1.95.1 eh? Ill have to give it a go.
Mine will crash regardless of whether text is in the field first or not, i've tried both ways and have the same results.
In narrowing down the problem to add-on applications, did you have Xpress mail installed? or any other e-mail forwarding service? Im wondering if that has anything to do with it...
i've had the same issue as well.... but it's wierd..
if the contact is a personal contact, it works fine. if it has to search my business contacts (ota activesync/exchange 2007) it will crash.
@b_slice
No, don't have Xpress mail installed.
@godashram
I don't use business contacts.
Well, that helps to eliminate potential culprits.
godashram - Mine will crash regardless of contact type, business or personal
Just a +1 from me as well.
I'm using a HTC Diamond with the stock HTC 2.03 ROM. SMS crashes and goes back to Manila when using the 'check names' function.
It happens all the time: It doesn't matter which contact I try and it also doesn't matter if I've typed in a text message or not.
Programs running in the background are: Touchlockpro and Manila.
I hope someone can come up with the cause and the solution for this.
This seems to be an inherent bug in the Stock ROM. I've uploaded 4 to 5 ROMs from different chef's and NONE of them have this same issue.
Im currently rocking the Energy 3.0 WM 6.5 and contact searching and check names is working FLAWLESSLY.
Hey
I recently bought a HTC TD2. I have one major problem though. When someone calls/sends a sms the phone only displays the number not the name, even though the contacts are saved to the phone.
It happens with at least 7 different contacts.
(I've searched but can't find a solution that has actually been successful)
Could anyone provide some assistance?
Thank you
im having the same issue on my compact V. The numbers are stored in the SIM and in the contacts but it still fails to recognise.
Forget it man, I have the same problem and did everything possible to solve but couldn't. I changed the caller ID match values, the contacts memory, contacts format, and deleted the contact and recreated it again with no hope....now I'm waiting the technical support of HTC
Same issue here... Hard reset solved problem...
I'm having same issue for some of my contacts.
Yes hard reset and add the contact one-by-one solved the problem, but it happened again when I restored all the contact lists from my backup, even the backup was created (I think) before this problem happened.
So maybe something with the list of my contact, either they were not saved in the same format or they were inconsistently saved with only <firstname>, only <lastname> or <firstname lastname>.
Still investigating.... I've tried to increase my registry key "CallIDMatch" from 8 to 12 and will see...
Had the same issue. HTC tech support didn't know how to fix this, so the last resort was hard reset... and it fixed it.
Try one of two things -
(a) Check if you have multiple entries, I had discovered that multiple entries (of numbers and not names) had caused this before;
(b) Check to see if the mobile number is stored under "Mobile" and not some other entry. It does appear that entering the mobile number and storing it under "Work", for example, might cause this.
Ok, I have lurked threw every post I can find on here and haven't found a fix yet. I did the tethered update and followed the posted instructions. My phone is not rooted btw. Anyways, I did the update and everything seemed to work fine until I got a phone call. My contacts are not showing up when someone calls, but they do when I receive texts. I tried the FutureDial thing and tried to import my contacts and it didn't pull anything except for my number even tho it still has all my contacts showing in the contacts. I did a factory reset and its still having the problem, and the contacts are still listed. I'm going to try to reinstall the update and see if that helps. But after this I am all out of ideas. I am sure I'm not the only one with this problem. Has anyone figured out how to fix this?

Hey man. There is already a thread on this issue. Please don't start new threads about topics that already have a thread. We don't need a bunch of multiple posts about the same thing. Maybe mod could move this or delete???
All you Have to do to get all of your contacts back is wipe your phone by doing a factory reset and themn run MyBackup and it should recover all of your contacts.
***No contact list***
Once I updated to 2.2 from 1.6, my unrooted ZIO worked great, but my contact list only showed a few contacts which I had deleted a long time ago. None of my current contacts showed up. However, the text messages, all had the names, and you could access the contact's info from the messages, same for the call list. I tried everything to get the list to show, but backup would not add any contacts, as they were clearly somewhere on the phone already. What I wound up doing that worked, was I copied all of my files (including contacts file) from the SD card onto my pc, then formatted the SD. Then I did the factory reset on the phone. Then I recopied the previous SD contents back to the Sd, but only the contact file, music, pics, etc. Nothing that looked like it was for the operations on the phone. Then I brought up the empty contact list on my factory fresh looking phone, and imported the contacts. Finally. Even Cricket could not help me with this, and just opened a ticket on it. Hope it helps.
My contacts just take the first ring before the name shows up. Try letting it rung a little longer maybe once or twice. Contacts should show up. Btw. All my contacts were synchronized with gmail not mybackup. Who still uses mybackup on android rofl!
Option94 is right. There is a stick in general for KNOWN ISSUES.

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.
