Do you have google sync turned on? (Its in Phonebook ->Settings or something) The same thing happened to me, I restored them twice, and then 10 minutes later I noticed that all the contacts were back, and I had 3 copies of each contact which I had to manually delete
Looks like you have a fun day ahead
yeah i had that before, giving me triple contacts, i defo made sure that google sync was off, but this is deleting all off um, im pretty sure iv deleted all the recent apps iv installed in last 24 hrs,
this really doing my nut in, jus soon as start getting it rite too
i hav checked and my sync and it is not acivated, via google or SE, it only started to do it yesterday ive deleted any recent apps i put on and i still get the problem, it will start to delete all assigned pic to my contacts then will delete them all together, this mornin it now done it three times, ? ? ?
i now jus reinstalled the software via SE updater, reinstalled my settings and contacts, rebooted my phone which it asked me to do and suprise suprise my contacts were gone again, so i now kno its not a app doing it,

just about Since i updated to JF ADP 1.42h i have been unable to sync contacts- i backed them up using mybackup and reinstalled them using this- the phone automatically synced all google stuff with gmail at the start and it wiped all but 5 of my contacts in gmail but all are still on my phone.
now when i try to sync contacts with gmail it says: "sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly"
Anyone else having/had this problem? How to fix?
thx
yes I am having this issue also. It really sucks. I notice it syncs the contacts but not completely thru. At first I thought it was something I did but now I am thinking it has to do with the 1.42(RC33) update I did.
Looking for a fix myself. I am just about to do a wipe to see if that does the trick. If it does I will report back but if someone knows anything about this please let us know .
hi,
i had the same problem and it deleted about 50 contacts before i realized it was doing so. mybackup if flawless on other versions of jesusfreke but its odd there is a problem this time. I think it might be jf's gear or maybe I partition the card and now its weird. i don't know....
Happy Valentines!

i have decided to just live with it- all my contacts are backed up with mybackup anyway, just not in gmail anymore. Maybe next time install contacts first before syncing with gmail......
but am not gonna wipe again or anything- my wife would kill me getting all my settings right again- i will wait for the next update in a couple of weeks- hopefully cupcake
It as a job but I got it fixed by doing a complete wipe a few times. I lost radio for awhile for some reason flashed the latest radio update but contacts now sync perfectly.
I am about to do a partition test ... if it messes up after that then I know that's the cause. This all started now that I remember because I did a restore with MyBackup for my contacts & that was a mistake it seems like.
We shall see though.

me too! wonder what i/we did wrong? gmail after backup?
I just wanted to ask whether anyone else had run into the same problem or now. I have installed HTC Generic 2.73.405.5 with radio 63.18.55.06EU_6.35.06.18 on my unbranded Hero and it has been great. Really fast and it seems less buggy.
However I had one major issue. When I turned on my phone this morning all my contacts were gone! So I went into data synchronisation and made sure the box was ticked.
I ticked and unticked it, however things aren't quite syncing up properly at the moment. The contacts are back, but when I make edits on my phone they are not carrying through to google's servers ... Any advice? Anyone else having this problem?
EDIT: I have tried syncing my contacts again. After the little arrows stop spinning the last updated time still stays the same. It's stuck on 07:22 at the moment and it's 07:39 here ...
EDIT2: This problem exists on the wifi and mobile data connection.
Could it be that this is a problem on Google's end?
Woah! And we're back!
It seems to have fixed itself!
Not for me. Still have this issue, does anyone else?
God damn! My Hero deleted all its contacts again. It takes ages to sync changes and if you do too many at once it just doesn't do it, crashes and deletes all your contacts.
NOT awesome!
I have posted a support ticket with HTC, I'll see what they say.
I already experienced an "issue" with a delay from google contacts.
But I deleted everything, then synched and after a while (about 15 minutes) all contacts where shining in my Hero.
I have similar issue.
I can get my contacts from Google but cannot make new ones on the server side. I will check it thoroughly later on and report you back.
Google add to contact
The whole option to add to Google contacts is missing on mine. Google contacts are still present and seemingly updating.
So not exactly the same behaviour, but might be worth checking your phone.
Hello there,
I am currently trying to backup the data on my HD2 using the Microsoft My Phone system but every time I try, it just gets stuck on Authenticating user and goes no further. Any help??
Thanks
I have been experiencing this problem when restoring the data the last few days and even tried different ROM's .
I finally got through when i unchecked everything in Sync option and left only Contacts check marked. It successfully sync'ed and then i check marked few others(Fav &txt) in sync option and sync'ed again.
What i can conclude is that, if there's lots of stuff to sync, it chokes up and gets stuck. Try sync'ing each option individually...see if that helps!
How do you connect? Use wlan and it should be kinda fast.
What did you check in the sync options?
Default is that every data on your mobile gets synced like videos, photos, ...
I only checked calendar and contacts and the whole sync lasts 10-20 seconds.
Hmmm working for me as of 5 minutes ago, but hadn't been last few hours.
Either they fixed something on MS's end, or having an incorrect date can screw with syncing (I'd jsut reflashed and forgot ot set my date correctly - it was set to Jan 21st). After setting the date correctly it now syncs as normal.

Yeah, I tried syncing just the contacts but the same thing happened!! This is the first time I have used Microsoft My Phone so maybe it's that?? I also tried uninstalling and then reinstalling the application but to no avail!
Hi,
I had the same problem after myphone updated itself to the newest version. My solution that worked was manually downloading the touchscreen version at http://mobile.microsoft.com/myphone.
Then I only synced my text messages.
Afterwards the entire phone.
good luck
Ok so i woke up to about 3 texts today and i noticed they were from my girlfriend but it was only showing the number. then i looked at all my old texts and all my contacts was just numbers! anyways the problem ended up being that somehow my google account disappeared and now when i click on gmail or the market it does nothing at all, wont even start up. anyone else have this problem??

No, but just put your account back in sync, everything will come back
That's the thing I tried to add my google account again but there want even a option. I ended up having to recover to a really old backup because even the most recent back ups wasn't working

Hello guys, I am facing a weird problem that I have never faced before. I have one week old brand new Nexus 4 and its just awesome. But some little bug in the OS is just spoiling the whole experience. I am not sure if its a bug or not but surely it shouldn't happen.
The problem is I always synchronize my contacts with gmail. So whenever I added my gmail accounts first, all of my contacts just came into my phone flawlessly. But one morning I just saw all the contacts disappeared leaving a just few which are of no use. After googling and some small rnd I found the life saving option "Restore Contacts" in gmail contacts. I got them back. Didn't know the reason but thought it would never happen again. Today again this thing happened which really pissed me off.
I have used all of the android OS starting from GB to ICS but this thing never happened. I also found that whatsapp, facebook, wechat contacts are not synchronized properly without any reason. Contacts are not properly shown under "Contacts to display" option. Guys is this problem common in JB 4.2.2 or I am missing something to properly configure my phone. Please share your views friends.

Log in to your google account through a web browser. I'll guarantee all your contacts are still there. Either you are not syncing right or you need a factory reset/flash.
Gmail contacts also deleted when they are disappeared from phone

Thanks for your reply. But let me tell you one thing the moment I saw my contacts gone in the phonebook, I checked my gmail account also. The contacts were also not there. Then I performed a "Restore" action and the contacts came into gmail address book as well as in the phone. Hope I have made the problem clear now. :crying::crying:

Yes I restored my contacts they were fine. They came back to my phonebook but without any reason they disappeared again. I had to do same restore again in the gmail to bring them back in my phonebook. I had not faced this problem before. Thats why I am confused. And moreover can you tell me why no whatsapp and wechat contacts not shown in the phonebook while all the syncs are on? Please tell me if you have any ideas...Thank you in advance.

It's pretty clear to me. The OP added his Google account to his phone, sync'ed his contacts and then some time later found that they had vanished from both phone /and/ Google. He was fortunate to be able to recover them, but the fact that he was able to does not mean that it's not an issue. Likewise, the fact that it has happened again suggests that he needs a little more support that an implied PICNIC reply....

I'd be looking into apps here - if a contact is deleted on your phone, this deletion will be sync'ed back to Google with the symptoms you've reported. Have you scoured your phone for a potential rogue here (either malicious or, more likely, buggy)...?
thanks for getting it finally
thanks daern for understanding my problem. You read my mind. This prob should not happen. Do you mean that any malicious programs are running in my phone?? or any other issue is causing this weird problem. I am not sure tomorrow morning I will see all the contacts vanished again. Its been 2 times I am facing this.

Chances are some (non Google) app on your phone, which has access to your contacts is deleting them. I would backup your storage and "factory reset" your phone. If the problem returns, try removing apps with access to your contacts.

I have a similar problem but in my case there is absolutely no doubt that it is Google deleting contacts from my Nexus 4. I do not even want my contacts synchronized or backed up on Google's servers and prefer to use the phone memory (because I use other apps to back up my contacts). The first time Google deleted my contacts from phone I realized that I had only disabled synch for "contacts" but neglected to also do it for "people" so I made sure all of that was disabled before I went and started deleting duplicate contacts from Gmail (that's right, it not only deleted it from the phone it duplicated them there). I then proceeded to restore my contacts from a .vcf file directly to the phone memory and it worked fine at first. Then, the next day, Google had AGAIN deleted all contacts and again duplicated them on Gmail. The phone has Android 4.3 and is stock other than being rooted. I am hoping to avoid having to delete the google account from the phone altogether. Any ideas?
