Did you go into the contacts menu to make "all" contacts show?

If you do not have your contacts synced with gmail, you should in the future, that way you can never lose your contacts.

They're probably not lost. In Contacts, go to Menu and then tap Contacts To Display. Tinker in these setting and you'll figure out which list is the right one and which ones you want to see. You can see Google contacts, Phone contacts, SIM contacts, All contacts, and other accounts you have. While you're in there, make sure which accounts you have set to sync.

I tried this too and it didn't help. It is properly set up to display all contacts. The issue I see is that "Sync is currently experiencing problems".
Well, I don't care if it's having an issue syncing but it shouldn't delete what's in the memory of my phone in the meantime!!! And the same problem is happening with my other Galaxy Note 2, on which I did a full factory reset but it didn't solve the problem either...

I think I actually solved the problem but it came at the cost of having to reformat and reset the phone.

I was actually rooted, which may have been the cause from the beginning. Curious to find out how many other people having this problem are rooted.

Anyhow, after flashing my phone with stock AT&T firmware and restoring all my information I don't seem to have the problem with my contacts disappearing anymore.

FYI, This didn't work for me. Still same issue... :-(

Finally solved this by downloading "Contacts Sync Fix" from the Play store.

This filled me up with hope but it didn't work: "Group query returned null. This is not expected. Fix may not have been fully applied" and my contacts are still missing... :-(

I am a bit pissed off about this whole ordeal.

It didn't seem that the folks at CALL CONTROL were surprised that this was happening. In other words, I believe they knew about it all along.

And, in the long run, this has caused damage to those of us who have been sitting here wondering what the hell is going on with our phone.

In the past two months, because of this problem, I have been scrambling to figure out the problem. I unrooted my phone. I formatted my phone. I wrote letters to Samsung complaining that something about this phone was defective.

All that time, all these problems were related to Call Control and I just wonder how long they knew about it.

Don't get too mad at them, I still think it is a Samsung or Google issue, because many of us are having the same problem and we don't use Call Control.

I recommend to anyone with a Note 2 to backup their contacts, and it's easy. Go to Settings in Contacts, choose Import/Export and choose either Export to USB or Export to SD card. The first backs up to the phone's internal storage and the second to your SD card. It's easy to restore by simply choosing Import later. You lose absolutely no data in any of your contact fields. I've done this.

Futhermore, you can easily import the .vcf file that the export creates to nearly all other contact software on or off the phone.

Ridin' a Note 2 blast

FYI, I re-imported my exported files and the contacts still keep on disappearing / reappearing...

I had this same problem with my HTC one. The way I fixed it was...
1. Go to contacts
2. Click "Phonebook" drop down for on the left which says "multiple sources"
3. The drop down list includes SIM, Google, G+ Phone
4. Each item is followed by the number of contacts and ellipses "..."
5. Click the ellipses for the type of contact you are trying to find (in my case Google)
6. My groups were listed, then there was an option at the bottom for including "ungrouped" contacts
7. I selected that option and my contacts came back

Hope this helps some of you!

Hello,

It has been a long time since there has been activity on this topic.
I just (5hours ago) had the same problem with my CUBOT X6 (chinese brand like HUAWEI).
I have the android version 4.2.2 and tried every previous solutions, but none worked.
Most of the people who have this problem work with google, but I had my contacts syncted with hotmail.

When I looked on my computer on hotmail, I saw my contacts were still there but couldn't get synchronized
with android.

I Deleted my hotmail and gmail account and reinstalled it.
To delete a preinstalled account
1) Go to contacts (or phonebook)
2) tap the left android button to show the settings (left of the home-button)
3) tap "accounts"
4) select the account where your contacts were syncted with
5) again, tap the left android button to show the settings (left of the home-button)
6) tap "remove account"

After you did this, reinstall your account

7) Go to your phone "settings"
8) When you scroll down, you will find "Accounts" and tap "Add account"
9) Follow the steps as shown

After completing the installation of your account,

10) the same place where you tapped "Add account", tap the above email address
11) Then it should show you your email address with "sync is OFF". Tap this
12) click on "contacts" and then it starts to synchronize all your contacts.

I hope I helped some people with this
Plz let me know

Greetings

Hello,
My problem is a bit different.
When i reboot my phone, then it shows "contacts stopped unfortunately". And no contact is available. I can't even open contact app.

Then i noticed in titanium backup that my contact storage is uninstalled. (Phone is rooted)

I restored it, the problem is fixed!

Every time i reboot my phone , every time this happens.

Thanks.

Hi,

My dad is using this Asus Padfone Infinity and his contacts are randomly going missing. and its only certain contacts with no apparent order as they are all not group together. I have tried rebooting and reformatting the phone as well as unsync and resync with google plus. The issue was that the second phone a Samsung Galaxy S4 is on the same google plus account. and when the Asus phone start to sync the missing contacts are taken down from google plus (i think) as the S$ contacts reflect the same changes after. I have no idea whats going on with the phone, can someone please help me with this?

I have a personal phone that is Samsung Note 3 and i do not have this issue at all.

Thanks for reading my plea for help!

Btw i have tried the changing the display setting already and the thing is my dad do not save any contacts on simcard.

This worked for me!
Go to contacts! Then go to settings! Then go to At&t Address Book and then hit Sync now. After a few min ALL of my contacts reappeared. Auto sync was checked, but I don't know if it was auto synced. I hope that works!
