How do I stop my Android contacts from disappearing?

Storage limit exceeded: If you exhaust the maximum number of contacts which your SIM card or phone can take then you won’t be able to add more contacts.

Interfering contacts management application: An installed contacts management app might be misbehaving or overriding your settings.

Corrupted phone storage: The phone storage might be corrupted.

Google Contacts Sync problems: Google Contacts Sync might have crashed.

Buggy ROM: The ROM on the phone might be corrupted or buggy.

This case is however different as your contacts simply vanish despite all attempts at saving them to your phone. When it comes to missing Android contacts, your first line of action should be to check your contacts display settings to be sure you haven’t accidentally hidden your contacts (Contacts > Menu button > Contacts to display ). Why does my phone keep deleting my contacts on Android I’d previously discussed how to recover your accidentally deleted Android contacts (see ) but this case is different because your contacts keep vanishing once saved or recovered to your phone.

The Android platform makes contacts backup, retrieval and management very easy.
