Missing contact info

[Dlust]

About half my contacts are missing its the sms contacts. I have checked the filters and turned them on and off. I have reset the phone, and I have tried clearing the cache and forcing the app to stop but still have no luck. Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? Also I can check my messages and the number comes up with the message but not the name from my contracts

Had the same problem but screen broke before I could try to fix it. Would also like to know why it happened

Did  you had your contact's info at all or did this issue just happened? 

[Dlust]

This just happened a few days ago

Hi @Dlust,

Welcome to the community. 

If you open the contacts app, do you see all your contacts listed here? Are they only missing in your SMS app?

[Dlust]

No they are missing in both

@Dlust,

Double check your filters in the Contacts app. (3 dots > Filters) Make sure you expand Local, Google, Skype etc and tick all the boxes in there.

You should also try resynching with Google. Go to Settings > Accounts > Google > 3 Dots > Sync All.

Thanks I did try resynching and checked and unchecked the boxes already, neither helped fix it.

@Dlust,

This is very strange. The contacts that remain, are they saved to the local storage or to your google or other account?

[Dlust]

The contacts that remain are the ones from google that were imported I think. Alot of them are just email addresses not phone numbers
