Default I gots me a lil problem

Alright try this on for size....

I cannot add a contact

I added one manually yesterday and it worked fine....BUT..I cannot add another.
Period.
It acts as if the contact list is write protected *somehow*

I rooted just fine.
No 4G issues at all.
I'm tethered using "wireless tether" as I type this on my lappy...no problemo.
I removed the sim card thinking that might help.
I installed ROM manager and tried to use the "fix permissions" but it will not run (and yes I gave it super user permissions) it acts as if *something* is write protected.

I have a Vcard file with all my previous phones contacts in it but I really do not want to import it untill I resolve this issue.

Anyone have any ideas ?
Possibly just let me know where contacts are stored so I can do a adb chmod on the damn folder ?

Problem solved.
Went into the Sprint store (large corporate place) and *every-friggin-employee* had to come over to get it figured out.
Some very hard to get to setting was disabling contacts being dispayed.
I have no idea what it was or how to change the setting....at least 8 Sprint people were passing it back and forth so I couldn't see exactly what was done.

The techs final answer?
Uhhmm...dude, it's a business phone so it has really tight security.

Seriously ?
If I wanted corporate level security I would have gotten a blackberry ya freakin tool !
I think (honestly) that even they had not faced this issue and it was by chance that they corrected it.

I apologize that you had a group of idiots working at your store. The solution to these problems is to go into contacts, press menu, then display options. Drop down the menu for Google and make sure all boxes are checkmarked. Older android phones improperly stored contacts into nameless sections of your google account causing newly added contacts to go into the unnamed folder and never show because that box isn't checked by default.
