Had my People database totally messed up.

I think that the contacts that I synced from N9 via bluetooth were considered as a cloud-service entries, they are in none of my backups.

Of the entries that I have edited there are 200 and 500 copies in the backup. But not all of them were multiplying, this lhas likely something to do with facebook addressbook synchronization.

After 1.0.7.16 update device started to eat quite a lot of cpu and sometimes giving notifications that some sync service would like to delete too many entries from address-book.

Last export below, there were 10 with only one entry in the backup

[nemo@Jolla ~]$ fgrep FN jollacontacts.vcf | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr | head
    576 FN:XXX1
    290 FN:XXX2
      1 FN:Veijo Robotti
      1 FN:Travex

As far as I were able to determine this has been going on for a while, so it's not something that started to happen with Saapunki.

I have a messed up adress book to since I have a Jolla. I have multiple entries after the last update and it is a bit messy.

I'm getting this notification „sync - too many contact deletions” since 1.0.7.16 and the device freezes frequently. I wasn't able too figure out where this comes from, but maybe it's the same thing..? any workarounds? thanks.

Make backup and check .vault/People/data/all.vcf If it has duplicate / repated entries that is similar thing. Only way to recover that i'm aware is to delete everything from address-book (Settings/People/pulley).

Be aware that at lest my backup did not have stuff that was transfered with bluetooth from N9.
