If you want scheduling so much, you can use Sync.Me app, which works great, except for that it can't sync with WhatsApp. It does sync with FB, G+ and others though, and it has callerID and a birthday greeting card features (can be disabled if you don't want them).

About task manager, I don't believe in such apps. All those "boosters", claiming to fix/speed up your device by killing apps...

My app is just for managing apps, and it has features that do not exist on other apps. One of them that I like is the ability to see the history of uninstalled apps in a sorted way.

Can you also try the app in the normal channel (not the beta) ? The normal one wasn't signed for Nougat. Only the beta one.
[Android Apps and Games] n0ke:
Yes
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Odd.

On which device and Android version it occurs?

Do you have any app or xposed module that could block modifying the address book?
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I've converted this thread to be a project (using this tool, if anyone is curious), so everyone can choose to follow it.

I hope it's working, because this is the first time I do it.
[Android Apps and Games] Fishawy:
I already use Sync.Me about a year ago. In combination with your app, both will make a great duo.

History of uninstalled app is a nice feature that I haven't come across before, thanks for that. :)

I only tried the normal app (I'm on MM by the way, not Nougat). The beta one's URL directed me nowhere.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
OK, thank you.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
New version. What's new:

- Hopefully fixed the issues that for some people, the sync didn't sync anything, or even created duplicates contacts.

- improved fetching phase a bit.

Now the downloads are here:

[Android Apps and Games] chuba_hypnotize:
This version works flawlessly .. Great job dev :highfive:

LG G3 D855 - 7.1 ResurrectionRemix 5.8.0
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Actually, I think it still needs fixing. Will need to do more research on this.

But thank you for checking it.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Updated version.

This time, it includes only bugs fixes in the fetching mechanism.

I hope all will work fine now.

Does the "follow project" button works for you guys? Did you get notification that a new version is out?
[Android Apps and Games] giofrida:
I was looking for an app like this for a long time, but unfortunately it doesn't work on my device (Moto G, stock 4.4.4, rooted). The fetching process ends correctly: at the moment all the pictures have already been downloaded. When the contacts are updated nothing actually happens: the app quickly goes to the end "page" where it says "sync finished" but the contacts' pictures are still the same as before. Likely the app does really nothing at this phase.

I attached an adb log captured from the fetching process to the end of sync.

Thank you for all your efforts. I hope you could fix this issue.
[Android Apps and Games] Fishawy:
Thanks for the new version. :)

Working great, and no we do not get notifications for new releases "or at least me".
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
So the "follow project" doesn't do anything?
[Android Apps and Games] kimikim0:
thanks for the app, hope you continue this project :good::good:
[Android Apps and Games] Fishawy:
Not sure, I've canceled the following & re-applied it again. The next release will let us know if it works, but I'm subscribed to the thread anyway.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Did the "follow project" work for you? Did you get notified of the new version?
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
You mean you did it now, right?

But it was enabled before, so it means it didn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] Fishawy:
It was marked before, yes. We will see with the new update, maybe something wasn't right.
[Android Apps and Games] Droidphilev:
Hi,

VERY interesting. I will install and try this but if you don't mind i will wait until there's a way to sync only pictures for certain contacts.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Please try new version
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Yes, this will probably be on the next nearest version.
[Android Apps and Games] giofrida:
Yes, I have uninstalled the old version and installed the new one, but it still doesn't work.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I've PMed you a test APK which should run fine on your Android version. Please let me know if it works fine
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Updated version.

This time, I've fixed an issue that has probably affected all Android 4.4 (and maybe below) devices, which would make it unable to sync the contacts.

If you have an old version of Android on one of your devices, please try this app and tell me if it works fine. Older than 4.4 will also be great.

I hope that in the near future, I will add the feature people have asked for: to show and customize which contacts should be synced.

I plan to show a list/grid of them, and there should be a few states for each:

1. always sync

2. never sync

3. sync only from next time

For each contact in the list, I should write :

1. display name

2. formatted phone number

3. current image vs available new image

Later, I want to allow to show the images in full screen, to compare them, but that's not basic enough for now...

What do you guys think? Have I forgot about an important/basic feature for this ?

I want to plan it well before I make it work.
[Android Apps and Games] Fishawy:
Sounds perfect.

Additionally, maybe an option for automating for the syncing process (Daily, weekly, etc) would be great.

If not possible, I'm very happy with the current release as it is. Thanks for the good work.

Cheers!
[Android Apps and Games] biglo:
Sounds like exactly what we need.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Sorry, but as I wrote a few posts ago, this is problematic. Reasons:

1. It needs to open WhatsApp, in the foreground.

2. It emulates user touches (the scrolling in the list, for example), so it needs your attention in case there are other apps that could interrupt. Sure it doesn't do much, and I think I can protect against it, but I don't want to risk you on doing weird things while you aren't aware of them.

3. It needs the device to be unlocked (from the lock screen), so it should need to unlock it first, in case it's locked. This might be especially an issue if you have a password.

4. If WhatsApp ever changes too much, and this continues doing things while you are not aware, it could either do no syncing, or do much worse.

I could add some precautions for those, and add a warning of usage of this feature, but it's quite hard and I prefer to work on more basic things first.

What I can do is to show a notification when the app has a good guess that there are new updates.
[Android Apps and Games] Fishawy:
That would be perfect. Thanks for the continuous support. :)
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Thanks. One day I'd like to publish on the Play Store. Maybe when the contacts list is done.

Have you also tried my "app manager" app?
[Android Apps and Games] Fishawy:
Yup, working fine. :good:
[Android Apps and Games] DavidKirsch:
Same problem for me.

Moto G XT1033

CM 14.1 / Android 7.1.1

Rooted

SELinux Permissive

Whatsapp version: 2.16.399

I can't help with an adb log because for some reason it ain't working here.
[Android Apps and Games] Fishawy:
I received an XDA notification of an update, but after checking the thread, the latest release is still of 23-Dec.

False alarm?
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Yes, false alarm. I'm about to publish the app on the Play Store though, with the option to customize which contacts to sync, and a few minor bugs fixes

:)
[Android Apps and Games] biglo:
Now that's what's up! You don't have any donating options? Because I block all ads on my phone so I would be able to help you there.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
The best donation will be to share it with everyone you know :)

The app is a spare time app. It's not for making money.

If you insist, you can download my other app (here) and donate there (you can donate as much as you wish there, starting with 1$) .

Anyway, now the app is alive:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lb.contacts_sync
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I don't know how to disable this thread from being a project. I tried to delete it, but it doesn't do anything.

Anyway, the new app is alive on the play store:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lb.contacts_sync
[Android Apps and Games] biglo:
Ok that works, thanks.

OK I updated the app through playstore, and saw the new changes that you made. I do have a suggestion that I would like to see implemented for the future update. That is to have the ability to toggle all contacts or no contacts instead of having to go through all contacts individually and tapping on them to de-select them. For example I just wanted to update like 10 contact photos and have to de-select the other 100+ that was selected automatically lol.

Other than that the app still works great as intended.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Sure, I know. I just really wanted to publish this app already, and still wanted to provide a basic way of this feature.

I can also add filtering, sorting, searching... Just like on my App-Manager app. :)

It just takes time.
[Android Apps and Games] biglo:
No problem just wanted to offer my feedback. Thanks for the great work tho!
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
OK, I hope this will be added on next version.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
This is now available:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lb.contacts_sync
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Updated the app with this new feature.

BTW, if a new WhatsApp contact is created (added or just someone joins it), it's automatically marked as "always sync".

Maybe I should add a setting for this.
[Android Apps and Games] danecr7:
Man this app is a must-have thanks a lot to the dev and thé good work going.
[Android Apps and Games] biglo:
Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
BTW, if you have a non-rooted device, you can actually still use the app.

Install it on a PC with an Android emulator that is rooted (or can be rooted), like "Leapdroid VM".

I tried it and it works fine.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
New version is out, allowing you to perform the entire fetch&sync operation in one step (enabled by default).

If you disable this, you can view the contacts to be updated, including the new photos, before the actual syncing. This allows you to have final thoughts before changing their pictures.

If you have some suggestions about next versions features, please let me know.
[Android Apps and Games] danecr7:
Again thanks for this app, I have one suggestion.

It is about the process itself, I think it would be great if the fetching and the choice of which contact to Sync were permuted.

I mean, in my case I am switching between Contact and ContactSync to see who I am going to Sync or not, so I think for a better experience (and it's a feature request too) if possible de should Fetch images first then when we have to choose which contact to Sync, in the form of thumbnails, we see the 2 profile pictures then choose to Sync or not.

Thanks Again.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I've already added this feature, right on this version...

Just uncheck the checkbox of "sync right after fetching", and then, after the fetching progress is done, press on "show soon-to-be-updated contacts".

There, you will see thumbnails of contacts, before and after the sync that is about to start. You can choose there which to sync and which not to sync, and you can even press on the thumbnails to see them in full screen.

Or you meant something else?

Maybe I should have written something else there. Do you have a suggestion of a better text for the buttons and checkboxes?
[Android Apps and Games] danecr7:
My Bad bro, that was exactly what I meant.

This is juste AWESOME !!!
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Someone claims this app failed to work on "miui (mm)" , on the device "redmi note 3" :

https://play.google.com/apps/publis...5HkzNkOTfhsrgG1EOvqCk_cIp_nAv7vosPc2u4_jzM6Rg

Does anyone here have it?

I don't, so it's quite hard for me to handle this issue...
[Android Apps and Games] jose_pagio:
From Brazil, lot's of contacts have registered on WhatsApp with a number format like this: "+55 (xx) xxxx-xxxx". But, due to increasing active lines, all numbers are being changed to this format: "+55 (xx) 9xxxx-xxxx". Therefore, all contacts of mine that registered with the old format are not triggered by the app, even though they are all linked on my "contacts" app. Is there a workaround to this?
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
You mean that for those numbers, the app fails to sync them? Or that they aren't shown?

Are they shown on WhatsApp?

If so, please contact me so that I could test it on my own device (just give a sample phone number that doesn't work for you) , and i will see what i can do
[Android Apps and Games] jose_pagio:
The number aren't even shown.

In my "Contacts" app, they are there, with the new "+55 (xx) 9xxxx-xxxx" format. In WhatsApp, they are with the old "+55 (xx) xxxx-xxxx" format.

Send you a pvt message with a few contact numbers for you to test?
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
It appears on WhatsApp, but not in the contacts?

What happens if you open such a contact on WhatsApp, and tries to go from there to the address book of this contact? Does it show the same one of the contacts app?

You can still contact them via WhatsApp, right?

What happens if you create a contact that has the new phone number format? Will it be added to WhatsApp ? Will you be able to contact them then?

About the test, I need to see it by myself to understand what needs (if possible) to be changed in code.

Send me a PM of 2 phone numbers (just in case). Each one with the old format and the new one. I won't send them anything, and won't share them with anyone.
[Android Apps and Games] tanfidzularus:
I think it's not working now. After what's app update
[Android Apps and Games] Fishawy:
+1
[Android Apps and Games] danecr7:
Hi [MENTION=5798043]AndroidDeveloperLB[/MENTION], just wondering if there is a way for your app to work with GBWhatsapp.

I tried and really like but it's not compatible with tour app.
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
It might be possible, but I can't just try it on every possible WhatsApp mod out there. My main focus is on the official app, which I plan to also support working on it without root. I hope this is possible.

That being said, I think it's quite easy to modify my app to try to handle WhatsApp mods, but with less guarantee it will work.

Please contact me via PM/email, and I will send you an APK to try it out with your WhatsApp mod.

If it will work, I can add this feature as a customized one, with a warning that it might not work at all.
[Android Apps and Games] joberror:
Is there any possibility to make this work with Facebook
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
For this, I recommend using an app called "Sync.Me".

It's way more mature than my app.

I also know for sure that Facebook has many annoying limitations for apps, so this one tries its best to give you the sync you would wish.
[Android Apps and Games] infifi:
For some reason the app doesn't appear in "apps with usage access" so i can't enable it and therefore can't get past the permissions screen.. Is this a known problem? is there a way to fix this?
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Is it possible your device is running on Android O ?

If so, this is a known issue:

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36583857

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/36613592

I think next version of Android O will have it fixed, and will probably be out some day in May :

http://www.androidpolice.com/2017/0...lude-4-releases-final-release-coming-q3-2017/

If you want, I can make a special version for you, that doesn't require this permission yet it might not work so well in determining which photos are available.
[Android Apps and Games] infifi:
Thanks you for the quick reply!

I am actually on Android 6.0.1, so i guess it's not a known issue.. :(

If there is no known fix for this, I would be very happy for a version that doesn't require this permission :fingers-crossed:
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
I don't understand how could it be. I already tested on this Android version, and so did others here...

Which device do you have, and is this rom stock or vanilla?

Do you see other apps there, that do need this permission or can use it?
[Android Apps and Games] infifi:
I have OnePlus One, with Resurrection Remix r72 rom.

There are many apps in "apps with usage access", but only google play store and google play services are enabled (it doesn't seem possible to enable the other apps).
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
Is it possible that the a lot of them there aren't supposed to be in the list? If so, this is like the Android O bug. Is there a new version to this rom, perhaps?
[Android Apps and Games] infifi:
Ok, so it appeasrs it's a bug with the rom. Anyway, using "App Ops" i managed to enable the permission.

This app is great! and thanks for your help!
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
It's a known issue?
[Android Apps and Games] infifi:
Apparently yes..
[Android Apps and Games] AndroidDeveloperLB:
And now you somehow got it to work?

Nice.

I have previously used this device, Lenovo a369i. But xposed worked just fine for me that time. It should work for you too. Xposed doesn't require so much of your memory.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Metalor:
When I set radio modem in LTE/GSM(auto) mode all is ok - phone registered and works in LTE network, but when I set to "LTE only" mode, phone goes to enternal network search and found nothing (no network registered).

I think it's because in "LTE only" mode phones set to only Verizon LTE band 13, not global LTE.

How I can make phone works in mode "LTE only"?

If I need to change this "prefered" Verizon LTE band, how can I do this?

I use Verizon XT1254 bootloader unlocked + SU4TL-49 (5.1) stock in LTE band 3 (1800).

[IMG="radio modem mode"]https://lh6.ggpht.com/BtKYArBMOESKZSabTZ4tA6Q1dZoZEMz2jO7Nu7gHTvRcy9gZPaMEj5ck2ulykfvtC_o=h310[/IMG]
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Not wise to go LTE only.

If you go LTE only, what happens when there's no LTE?

Like when there's only 3G coverage?

Or want to make a phone call? (Phone needs to drop down to 3G coverage, since you are not using Verizon and would not have access to Verizon's VoLTE. I'm in the U.S. on AT&T and drop down to HSPA temporarily for phone calls on my Quark, since I don't have access to AT&T's VoLTE.)

I would never go to LTE only as that would ensure my phone could not make phone calls (on the carrier I use) or even have data at all times (in poor LTE coverage areas).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Metalor:
I understand it, but this didn't resolve my problem.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
I don't see that you have a problem. You said it works fine in LTE/GSM auto mode and you get LTE fine in that mode.

For some reason you want to cripple your phone in "LTE only" mode so you can't make/receive any phone calls (mobile voice calls don't work on regular LTE, only on 3G bands) -- and you wouldn't have the option of dropping down to 3G even for data in poor LTE areas.

So, what problem do you have except for the one you're trying to create?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Metalor:
I want to use "LTE only" mode when I share internet connection to my laptop, because my network carrier provide unlimited free LTE traffic, but limited 3G traffic.

I also use Huawei E3372h (USB-modem) in "LTE only" mode and it works OK, so why XT1254 can't work the same way.

In "LTE/GSM(auto)" mode XT1254 sometimes break LTE connection (about 2 hours continuous data stream) and switch to 3G, so I want to use LTE on force mode, as I use Huawei F3372h now.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Your Huawei E3372h (USB-modem) works in "LTE only" mode for extended periods of time in the exact same locations as your phone? :confused: Is it the same carrier or a different carrier?

Because in LTE/GSM (auto) mode on your phone, you should get LTE if LTE is available. You will get lower (3G/2G) either when LTE is not available or IF your carrier is kicking you off for some reason (congestion or maybe some kind of time/data limit). In those instances that you are NOT getting LTE now on your phone, I don't think you would get LTE by being in an LTE-only mode. I think instead you would get just no data, since the phone would not be able to downgrade to 3G/2G.

I may be wrong, but that's my theory. However, if your Huawei E3372h (USB-modem) works in "LTE only" mode for extended periods of time in the exact same locations with the same carrier , then I don't know.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Xeroman0:
There is one thing you can try...

I'm that same menu, press the three dots on the top right>select umts bands>usa only.

For me personally, this limited me to lte, and i had to reflash everything to fix it. I think 950mhz (to name one) was still working so this may not even make a difference to you
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Metalor:
Yes, same location, same network carrier and even same phone number (2 sim-cards for same number).

Thanks, but this not work for me.

I found solution:

"LTE only" mode works only with radio MDM9625_104651.11.05.17R from VRZ_XT1254_5.1.1_LCF23.80_CFC_SVC / quark_verizon-user_LCF23.80_release-keys_firmware_upgrade_SVC firmware.
