[Q] Contact list not showing on Whatsapp,Viber,Line and co.

[BliZzArD_420]

SOLVED

Hi all , for days now im trying to fix this problem , i tried almost everything but nothing works.
Can't see my contact list on whatsapp , viber , line etc , it just doesn't want to sync. The apps are working fine but i can't see any contacts , i only see the number if someone msges or calls me , and even if i add it manually to my contact list nothing happens.
I imported my contacts from my SIM , synced it with the google account , whatsapp account , everything is up to date.
It might be a ROM problem (can't ask in the development sections need 10 posts )
Im on cm-10.2-20140104-Sultan-pyramid.zip (with ION) (HTC sensation XE)
Last ROM that worked: cm-10.2-20131117-Sultan-pyramid.zip (no ION)
It seems no one has the problem cause no one is complaining about it.
Is there a possible fix? Or it's just the ROM that is not compatible , but why is no one reporting the problem?

(Google couldn't help me, i hope XDA can! )

Hope to hear some suggestions, guidance etc :cyclops:

Thank you very much

Have you got a security app like LBE or XPrivacy.

I think permissions to sync contacts and these apps are blocked if u can see only numbers

Thank you for the reply, no I don't use any privacy app even after closing Avg anti virus and the task killer, nothing works. And I don't see any contacts, when someone msges me I see the number even if I have them in my phone book. And if I add them manually to the contacts it won't update I just see their number. Even after fresh rom install I do not see the contacts, and reinstalling apps is not helping. Or wiping cache+dalvik. I don't know what the problem could be.

Have u got a Gmail account that sync your contacts on your phone ???

 

[BliZzArD_420]

Yes I have an Google account that is synced with my device, everything is working fine. Except that apps like whatsapp, viber etc can't get to my contacts list.

did you already tried it to flashing the rom again..and after that just sync your contact from google..now just try it don't added it from your SIM

 

[BliZzArD_420]

Hmm i did flashed the rom two times , and when setting up the google account it adds the contacts automatically , i have my contacts in sim / on sdcard and on my google account. Im now thinking to add it manually from the google account, even if i think i tried it already , well at least something like that . thanks
