So what if the contacts do exist in Google Contact (double checked on the computer) and used to exist in my phone, but suddenly stop. The first time it happened the contact came back within a week. Second time, with different contact, it’s going on a month. My husband and best friend’s numbers were the first two I noticed effected and they’re ones I use on a regular basis. It’s very frustrating. I just deleted Google Contact from my phone, restarted my phone, then redownloaded Google Contact and it’s still happening!
I finally just resaved the few numbers that were glitching, only putting in the person’s first and last name. Then their contact showed up with their picture again, just like before the glitch started happening.
thanks nice info…especially last solution is way funny and absolutely working…
