how do i flash my phone??
Part of my contacts disappeared
and dont appear back when I reboot.

I have a Pantech and the same thing happened.
I went and deleted a couple thousand text messages and the Contacts came back.
I think its a problem with the memory management and not being able to delete text messages automatically after 30-60 or 90 days. The setting about deleting messages as resources are needed does not work even though I have it turned on.
I believe its an Android software issue not a specific phone brand issue.

This has happened a couple times: I'll open the phone or contacts app and suddenly all my contacts are gone (except for me). Easy enough to get them back: I just power the phone off/on and all is OK again. Then the same thing the next day. This has been a solid phone since Dec 1 but I am now reminded of my Thunderbolt. Anyone have a similar problem?

Please help me all my contacts disppeared

Just uninstalled the Twitter app and suddenly all my contacts showed up again, sync is now working fine. Maybe coincidence; time will tell

The same thing happened to me so I googled for some answers. I found this thread and read where someone had uninstalled Twitter and it solved the problem. I only installed Twitter a couple of days ago and it coincided with my contacts disappearing. I just uninstalled Twitter, rebooted my phone and...... problem solved! All contact came immediately back!
Thank you

I am facing a different issue, most of the contact names have changed to some other name I had saved in my phone and I got to know this on whataspp group when I saw many of my friends with different names texting to me. The phone numbers were saved to different contact names and its very weird.

Welcome to Android Central! Did you read through this thread? Which phone do you have? Can you give more details?

My husband as the Galaxy S5 Active. Today it lost all contacts and call logs. How do you get it back or can you get it back? It says that it isn't backed up on Google nor At&t address book. We have already checked those.

Welcome to Android Central! Do you know if the contacts were originally saved to the Google account, or the Phone account? If they were saved to the Phone account only, and there was some glitch that led to their loss, then you won't be able to recover them. This is why one should always strongly consider saving their contacts to their Google account, to avoid mishaps like this.

In my case, (most of) my contacts were stored in an Hotmail account, that the phone just randomly decided to delete from the phone. Once I added that account back (Settings/Accounts/Add account), the contacts were synced back again. And I AM seriously considering moving to iPhone, or go back to my Windows Phone, because of all problems I have hade with my Galaxy S6, dropped phone calls, lost contacts, random reboots etc...

If you ever have had a battery problem due to Microsoft Exchange servers that were incorrect and your Note 2, or maybe any Android, Over time that can burnout some of the memory in your phone, it happened to me. The batteries weren't lasting and the phone was always hot and it was all due 2 constant searching for the Microsoft Exchange account servers that were changed and not relayed to us in some way. I saw it when I looked at the battery charge graph. I actually found it first on an LG V10 I had bought as it was doing the same thing. However over time my Galaxy Note 2 fried itself by keeping a lookout for the Microsoft Exchange account. Samsung fixed the phone and now it's fine. It's practically a brand new phone although it's a Note 2. So either that frying of the phone while looking for a Microsoft Exchange account or some other way that the memory could have gotten destroyed caused the problem . I first started to lose Wi-Fi settings , then notes and finally contacts, and I have many many contacts like 4000. Now they are on Google, something I never really wanted to do.

Instead of pushing Google products, why don't you get some help on this problem - it certainly looks like it is affecting many people.

The worst part about it is that when I get in my car I cant call anyone with the Bluetooth connection. A royal pain.
