Hello guys,
I don't know whats going on but suddenly my contact names are all gone.
Instead I only see the numbers when calling/getting a call, in Call Log, Stock SMS/Hangouts app and so on!
In Contacts the names are just fine... tried to clear data of the apps, resyncing Google Acc and what not...
I also had a backup to restore but it didnt help much... don't feel like doing a factory reset for now since I got so much stuff set up on my phone
And I can't remember anything I did to mess this up, it just happend
Any help appreciated
EDIT: Problem solved; Somehow if this strange stuff happens, go to recovery and clear cache & dalvik. Then reboot to system again, voila!
If this doesn't help, try to remove Google account and relog again after clearing cache and dalvik.
Other than re-sync your Google account, do you have try to delet the account, reboot and login back to your account ?
Edit, it can't be linked to your Google account.
What is your ROM ?
If you are on a custom ROM, try to wipe System (only system) and re-flash the ROM.

After wiping superD (syncing contacts worked before wiping) it doesn't let me sync contacts anymore. I check the box and when I come back it's unchecked. I If I can't sync contacts I'll lose my mind. I already tried resetting data for google apps. No dice.
Try the 3 wipes in Amon_RA's recovery; ext (if you have it), data, dalvic.
Reflash rom.
Just did every single thing you suggested and STILL no sync. What the hell I've been at this for 5 hours!
Try a different rom.
A logcat would be the next step if you want more help with this specific rom.
You can also try fixing permissions. That fixed the same problem for me.
Just noticed I haven't been getting gmails emails with eb01 SC 2.2....if I open up gmail and manhally refresh it will pull them but won't do it on its own....already wiped and so on
You probably restored system data. Don't do that.
Elaberate a little...and....how do I fix it?
When restoring with Titanium, restore missing apps&data only. If you restore system data, there are some things that are safe (keyboard info, APs and bluetooth, etc.) but restoring anything having to do with your google account will screw up sync big time. There's an involved process that might fix it, involving clearing every google account/service's data and re-adding the account, but it's easier just to reflash.
I restored system but only from recovery...
I restored system but only from recovery...I dont use titanium at all...thanks for the help I will post later if I fix..
okay so i had a HD2 running Nand installed Cyanogen Mod7 and i sold it to a random person on craigslist, No matter what i did to clear the personal info and restore it to factory setting(including going into privacy and hitting factory restore) it would just reboot and come back up with my background and all my google information. it wont let me remove the account saying many apps require that account to work right and i should delete all personal info. he has his own account installed on the phone using the google accounts & sync under settings but i cant find a way to make it the primary account for apps. I deleted all the apps that i thought would use my old account but now it wont let him access the marketplace, anyone have any ideas short of just Nuking and starting over?

Just boot into CWM and do a factory reset, simple!
Once done it will be like you have just installed the rom, All you need to do is enter his info not yours.
EPIC WIN

Hi all, I changed the levels automatic brightness adjustments, then a call occurred and I aswered. When I closed the call, my defy+ rebooted immediately (no messages appeared) and then went in a bootloop: cyano glowing logo, then a single red LED flash, then it repeats.
Tried to clear dalvik cache, with no luck.
Is there a way to recover easily? Unfortunately I have no backups but want to keep contacts and application data. Not interested in keeping SMS's or photos.
Thank you
Contacts are usually stored with gmail account. I don't know about the app data though.

tried to wipe cache, dalvik cache, then install latest CM10 but ended up with the very same problem.
Should I only go RSD?

Make a backup of your /data in custom recovery, then wipe your /data partition (and cache/dalvik if you want), then reboot.
This will most likely get it to boot up again, then you can use Titanium Backup to restore your apps and app data. Do not restore your complete backup, because it most likely got corrupted, and do not restore System apps either.
You can restore SMS, by restoring Phone/Messaging Storage, and to restore Call Logs/Contacts, restore Contacts Storage. You might want to check the "Migrate System Data" checkbox in Preferences if it doesn't work at first.
Thank you, but I've already gone RSD. Good to know anyway. tnx

Sorry we couldn't find a solution in time.
For me, it's not that important; I full wipe at every sign of a bootloop. With the Desire I used to wipe all, including /system!
As long as you have a google account, you can reinstall the ROM and add your Google account at the beginning. That restores your previous setup of applications and appdata. Contacts are automatically synced and added to People.

So I just updated my phone to 7.0 via flashfire using this method:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/guide-easy-to-update-rooted-phone-t3342896
Everything appeared to have gone smoothly, besides my contacts app crashing every time and only when I go into the details of any of my contacts.
Creating a new contact is fine, until I save it and the details appear, then it crashes.
I already wiped data and cache from contacts app and went to twrp and wiped dalvik and cache, didn't help though.
I dont know if related, but my phone doesn't have a csc folder anymore. *#1234# doesn't work at all.
Any way someone can help me?
