After the Update my Android Apps have no more access to my contacts. For example the LibreSignal App doesn't show the contact names anymore. I already checked the settings and the option to give android apps access to my contacts is enabled. I use a Jolla 1

Edit: The option in the settings was active. But I disabled it, closed LibreSignal, Forced Stop of LibreSignal, cleared the cache of LibreSignal, re-enabled the setting to allow android apps for contacts and restarted LibreSignal. Now everything looks good.

Edit2: @tobru still has the problem. Therefore I removed the solved tag.

Have you checked if option is still enabled under android support settings?

I have installed Telegram from f-droid store, on my J1, and no problem, it sees all my contacts.

since I did what I described in my first edit I see all my contacts. But @tobru still have the problem. I don't know if this has an impact but all my contacts are from carddav.

Hey guys ! Haven't upgraded to 2.0.5 just yet but have had this issue with android apps and contacts and am here to share the simple fix I came up with. Under settings/Android Support disable the option to allow access to contacts Stop the Android Support Start the Android Support Enable the option to allow access to contacts There! Works like a charm on every trial, hope it solves it for you guys

Shared the info on TMO and it worked for quite a few, try restarting the device after stopping the Android Support
