All contacts disappear; reboot, and come back

---

My wife and I both are occasionally having all contacts disappear. Wife's phone is a stock Note II. My SGS III is stock/rooted ROM, with custom kernel.

Quite frustrating; contacts all gone and need to reboot, and all reappear.

Anyone else seeing this? Any solutions that you know of?

how do you have your contacts setup? by vcard, sim, gmail, etc?
do you 2 share similar apps on your devices? it could be an app causing this error that you both use. how long ago did this start?

Our contacts are via Gmail Synchronization. We do not create contacts on the SIM card.

It started for me a month or two ago. It is infrequent. In fact, I had decided it was something going screwy wiht Gmail due to some update or something, as it had not happend to me for a few weeks. But it happened again to me today.

In my wife's case, what she has been noticeing, more than me actually, is the contacts disappearing from her widget, not from contacts. But yesterday, all the contacts disappeared for here, but remained on her widget

Regarding programs, I have a lot installed; she has a few things installed. I am rooted and using Go LAuncher and associated widgets, etc. She is standard JB, no root, and using default Touchwiz stuff.

when you go into contacts, are all of them gone or just most? to see if they're all their and your phone is simply not displaying them all, try this:

go into contacts > settings and chose Import/Export. export the list to the SD card. go back to the contacts list > settings > import, all from SD card. if they're in there, go ahead and make sure your contacts are set to display just the gmail ones (in contact settings) and then sync your contacts with gmail (in settings > accounts). maybe even turn contact sync off at that point
