I already saw a post about unable to remove contacts permanently, but it does not have a solution. my problem is not only two way contact like gmail or face contacts , but say even if i add a new contact with just a mobile number, i am unable to delete it after uts created. i mean when i delete it goes off, but it reappears after some time. i tried creating so many new contacts and it happens again with all. i am also unable to modify the number, when i modify it and the old number reappears. i have this problem from long time. i have latest version yviaalanmpi. please help

I have the same problem. Not related with Sim card problem more probably witch two way contacts (gmail) since they should also get pushed to gmail after creating them.

I have the very same: I have added phone numbers to contacts, and they disappear, and I have removed phone numbers from contacts, and they disappear. Rebooting the phone did not help. Also saving/accepting/touching cancel-timer does not seem to change the behavior.

This is now first major problem with Jolla, endangering its useability. I remember having seen this sometimes earlier, but then the problem just went away, and sometimes later the removed information just had gone. But now it looks like I can't force the changes anymore. Perhaps I will need to copy the data manually, and totally remove the contact, and rewrite them?

* EDIT: This may be connected to to other reports on contact being on the SIM card. I have no visibility to where the contacts might be, and no easy way to control them. I can't even make sure if this is the problem. But if they would be on the SIM, it might cover this thread problem as well.

if u delete unwanted contacts from your google account first you will be able to delete them from your device:

Log in to your gmail. *Click the 'Gmail' above the compose icon and select 'contacts'. *You will then find all your contacts, scroll and delete individually by pressing the elipsees on the right of the screen and then pressing delete. *To select more that one click on the avatar to the left of the contact name and a tick should appear.

Problem still exists in 3.2.0.12. If I delete a contact, it appears after some time and the contact is not deleted from Google sync.
