1.) You can try to clear the contacts cache and data. (System Settings > Apps > All > Contacts / Contacts Storage > “Clear Cache” / “Clear Data”)
2.) Around the time the problems first appeared did you:
Sorry yeah first try only clearing the cache (also of Google Contacts or whatever it’s called [I don’t use Google] and FB Messenger) and if it doesn’t work do a backup first and then try clearing data.
Hi, I have the exact same problem, plus some more.
FP first edition, OS updated to the latest one.
My phone seems to fail when trying to type the name of a contact in text messages. The display of possible contacts does not show any name at all. Not a first world problem, but a nuisance nonetheless.
And, contacts load very slowly.
I installed Contacts Optimizer a month ago, but this issue only popped up a week or so ago,
any ideas how to solve this?
Cheers,
Sven
did anyone of you get this problem solved.
Because I have the exact same problem as well. FP1 second edition with the latest OS update.
It first appeared when I ran the last OS update. The contacts take really very long to load. Sometimes they do not even load at all and I have to restart the phone. Then other times the contacts load after quite a while, but when I click to a contact it opens but is completely empty. Also when I get calls or message it often doesn’t show the names but just the numbers even though I have the callers in my contacts.
I would be grateful for any solution, because I’m sick of restartin my FP about 3-5 times a day.
did you already check the size of your contact app? Mine was 80mb - much too big for the phone to handle (normal size is about 3-7mb I was told).
Hence I did a backup of my contacts and cleared all the data of the contact app. Afterwards I reinstalled the backup and my contacts app (now 5mb) was running smooth again. That did the trick for me.
