Hi,
my LG G3 on android 5.0 contact list is being updated very frequently, each time i try to access the contacts, the dialer or the call logs, i get a loader with the message "Contact list is being updated to reflect the change of language" that lasts for up to an hour each time, and more than once a day, so it's becoming very frustrating.
it is even affecting, when it happens, all applications that are related in any way to the contacts like whatsapp, messaging, etc...
i searched a lot for a solution on many sites and forums, but i either got no answer at all, or the answer was not even close to solve the issue, so i hope i get a real & final solution from here cause this issue is killing my battery and overheating the phone when it happens, and making it useless as no phone calls or messages can be made at that time.
so please HELP
note: my phone is rooted in case this can make the solution easier
I have the same problem on my LG G3 although it happens only a couple of times a month. Couldn't so far link this to any specific circumstances.
Help!!!!!
Hi, I have the exact same problem with my phone. Did you find a solution? Care to share :crying:

I've just lost track of the threads where they were resolved.
1) LED notifications (for anything) only lasting 5 minutes or so. I want my LED to keep flashing until i unlock the phone and clear the alert/notification. Thats how it was on my G1 on 1.6 and it was great. I'm certain i saw an app that could fix it somewhere, but i cant find the thread, and no searching for relevant seeming names brings anything up.
2) A bunch of unknown texts/network texts/various other oddities all being attributed to a random facebook/phonebook contact. I saw there was at least a partial solution for this somewhere, but once again, lost the thread
Thanks for any help you can give, really appreciate it.
1) Missed Reminder app does the trick.
I use missed call from the market for the alerts.
I think your sms issue is to do with facebook synching contacts that have odd phone numbers, or text where there should be a phone number. if I remember correctly you need to either delete those facebook friends, or stop the facebook contacts sync.
Okay, I've searched extensively both here and on Google, and my powers of finding stuff have failed me. I'm finding a lot of similar requests, but none of them are asking exactly what I need. So, if I have somehow missed this somewhere, I apologize, but after two days of trying various search terms, I'm giving up and just asking.
I just bought the S3, and so far, I seriously love it. I just have one question that I can't seem to fix. The "me" contact pulled in my Google+ profile information, but it didn't pull in my Facebook data (I have the app, and have it syncing, and it works for everyone else) but more importantly to me, it's not syncing with my Google Contact for myself. My name is exactly the same, and the contact file is even linked to the Google+ profile. I even tried going in and making the same email address the default in both listings, but nothing seems to make them merge. The "Join Contact" option doesn't show up at all for the "me" contact, and when I try to join from the google contact listing, it doesn't give me the "me" contact as an option. I don't know if it's something I'm no doing right in the Google+ vs Contacts sync, since they each have a different profile picture and I can't seem to fix that either, but I have no idea if that's the same problem as getting my local profile contact to sync with my google contact, since the local is pulling from the G+ account. Gah. It's by no means a del breaker, it just drives me a little crazy to have duplicate information anywhere, plus, now I have to remember to update my own contact information in two places if I want it to show up for both, which is mildly irritating. Anyone have any ideas?
At the moment, I'm running stock rom, not rooted. I'll get around to rooting eventually, but to be honest I'm waiting to see who gets a working JB rom first, Samsung or Cyanogenmod, since I've had problems getting official samsung updates rooted, even with the stock rom, on other devices in the past. That being said, if the solution to my problem is to root and run a utility, I'm not above doing that either.
the problem is linked to this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726677. if you enter your own phone number it should work.

I don't think that's the same problem. My number in the "about device" setting is correct. The phone knows what the number is. This is purely a Samsung TouchWhiz contacts thing - they have a "Me" contact that is stored separately on the phone from your Google contacts. That contact does not sync with Google or any other service, and thus far, I have found no way to merge it with a sync'd contact, or tell it to use a specific contact as "me" rather than create the new listing. I did find that you could link the "me" contact with a Google+ profile, so that's what I finally ended up doing. I deleted myself out of contacts, put the information in my Google+ profile as private, and linked that to "me". I even talked to Samsung tech support about it, and was basically told it was working as intended.

Yeah, I never did find a solution. It still irritates me occasionally.
New Year, same Problem
Hi guys,
I know this thread is a little old but I am having this problem now using the Google phone app on Android L / unofficial CM12.
Anyone have a solution for either merging a contact to the "me-account" or just getting the system to recognize the number on my sim? (Settings / About phone / Status / My phone number -> Unknown)
Have a good one
Ok I was having the same issue with my galaxy s5. I fixed it by going into "connections" entering into my Samsung account and editing my profile to include my phone number. G+ now syncs with "my info" without issue
okay, i posted a thread a few weeks ago on some issues with AOKP milestone 6 on htc wildfire.. now, after fine tuning several aspects of the phone i ran into more issues, that i do not know how to solve.....
1. an incredibly annoying lag when receiving call... first comes the ringtone, then, about 4-5 seconds later, the screen turns itself on, and only then the in-call image appears, with an option to answer/decline a call. i managed only to reduce the lag a bit by managing several profiles in SetCPU app, but the problem persists no matter what i do....
2. battery life and occasional twitching when flipping through home screens/ app drawer - this issue got solved pretty easily by removing non-essential apps from system/app using root explorer, and properly setting processor frequencies in profiles with SetCPU. The phone now is fast, snappy, and the battery has almost 3 days of autonomy with quite a lot of background processes
3. Contacts search/suggestion problem - now this one is truly annoying, and i can't seem to figure out the reason why this is happening. it didn't happen at the beginning. now here's the deal: whenever i want to send a new message, and type the name of the recipient, the phone does not recognize/suggest the name (or can't find it in the phonebook). the only way is to type in the FULL number (with + and prefixes), and only then it will recognize the recipient and show his/hers name. the other method is to search for the contact in the phonebook and then chose an option to send a sms/mms. i imported my contacts list from google, the same i did with previous roms and after resetting the phone, and never had such a problem.... the other part is opening people app, i.e. the phonebook. when scrolling through contacts, all are there, visible and accessible, but when trying to search for a specific entry (i have over 300 entries, so search option is truly a must-have), it only finds some contacts, but not all. and i do not know the solution for these problems. i tried meddling with which entries are visible, checking and unchecking all google contatcs, but the problem is still there...
does anybody have an idea? i tried googling for this one, but it seems i don't even know what keywords to use since this specific problem wasn't addressed in any of the AOKP or CM-related threads

If I'm not mistaken you're already allowed to post in the developing section? I'd suggest you better post those ROM related stuff directly in the ROM thread - most likely people using that ROM (those who probably could give some answers) will follow that thread even if they rarely visit XDA. Furthermore other users may have similar issues and could find this stuff more easy

it seems i am... thanks for the suggestion! i just posted in the thread you suggested.. . hopefully that'll do
Got phone yesterday, T-mobile G3 D851, so far have one major issue - LED notification doesn't work for Gmail. It works for Twitter, missed phone calls, text messages, but Gmail is dead, I have to wake up phone every time I want know if I have new mail. My previous phone is G2, still have it, no such problems. I searched G3 settings, left no stone unturned, nothing. Google search brings only one result from xda-devs where poster complains about same issue, but the thread is short, no one gives him a good advice, and it's not clear which G3 he has, EU, ATT, Tmobile or etc.
The lack of outcry on the web makes me think that it's just me and the phone has to be exchanged. If you can, please confirm my worst fears or tell me how to fix this.
Tnanks a bunch.

I'm having the same issue with gmail and handcent SMS. It doesn't even blink for missed calls. I have everything checked off too.
Relatively same issue here... My Gmail has LED notification but is very slow pulse (maybe 12 seconds in between, so what's the use), Twitter is hit and miss. Sometime get the LED, sometimes I don't. When I do there's about a 3 second pulse. Same thing with SMS. Thinking of taking it back and swapping it out.
I've been looking around this forum ever since I got my phone last year. It's always been helpful. Now, I am looking for more help.
I live in Toronto and my carrier is Rogers. I have the AT&T LG G3 D850 unlocked. I bought it second hand on eBay. The first thing I did when I got it was did a factory reset.
The first problem I noticed when I first got it was that the contacts list duplicated every time I opened it. I think it might be copying the contacts from my SIM card each time I opened the contacts? I don't know. I soon downloaded an app (Contacts+) to call people. Another reason was because every time I opened my contacts, the AT&T address book popped up. It didn't create much problem, but it was a very annoying. I soon just got used to using Contacts+.
The phone hasn't given me much problem since until recently. I realized I had no idea how to update my android version. It is still running 4.4.2. I did a bit of research and the words "rooting" and "flashing" got my head spinning. I tried to understand myself, but I just don't understand how to update my android or if I even can.
The thing that made me realized that this is a problem that I can't live with is my phone calls and text messages are causing problems. It's getting harder to open to my messages. It loads a long time and sometimes freezes. Sam with my calls. Dialing out or receiving causes my phone to freeze up. Sometimes waiting works. Sometimes I need to restart my phone. Sometimes I have to wait a bit to be able to restart my phone. I am getting popups when I browse the internet, so maybe I got a virus? I do have AVG and Avast on my phone though.
Then there are the few more minor things. My camera seems to take lower quality pictures as compared to when I first got it. My screen seems to be getting less responsive and seems to be dimmer. Phone seems to be warmer than before, but that could just be me. Android File Transfer no longer seems to work, but I assume it has something to do with my calls and messages not working.
What I am asking for is some knowledgeable and patient people to help me optimize my phone. I really don't know where to start. Reading newbie tips get me more confused sometimes. Please help. If this is not the place for this, please move it there or please let me know to delete it. Thanks in advance.
For the contacts problem, you can go to contacts > settings > display options > and then select the contacts you want to be displayed so there aren't any duplicates left.
Also installing two antivirus programs will cause malfunctioning on the phone. So if I were you I should uninstall one of them. If it keeps running slow you should factory reset the phone and try again
You should be able to go into software updates and click update device. It should show several firmware updates because 4.4.2 was quite a while ago. Have a look for that option.
There is no need to root in order to update your phone. Just follow these steps and it will do it all automatically.
If you go to settings, and you stock can get the updates, The easiest way to get your phone updated its using a pc and install the LG suite. You will connect the phone and if detected it will pop the updates.
