Revision history [back]

I know the Signal Messenger Android runs well on SFOS X on the Xperia X as well as reportingly on the XA2 (standard), while I face issues running it on my XA2 Ultra:

After having resetted my phone, I updates to 3.2.0.12 and installed signal. Now Signal has no access to all to my contacts, despite a.) other Android applications have read access to contacts b.) Android permission for Signal to access contacts is granted c.) Within Signal, I re-read contacts but to no avail.

In order to fix it I already ran through the usual workarounds like editing contacts -> re-syncing contacts -> restarting dalvik, but nothing fixed it yet. In the past I was able to at least access phone numbers from my contacts, even if names had not been shown, but running Signal without contact access is a nuissance.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you. Kobold

Any nuisance.

UPDATE: I made some progress and yes, this looks like a bug: - I reset the phone -> install Signal/Android -> Signal has access to all my contacts, in this case mainly frommy SIM card. - I reset the phone -> Enable a CardDav account on SFOS -> install Signal/Android -> Signal has no access to contact. Expected behaviour would have been to see no difference in contact access.

No clue how to drive this forward from this point, and help appreciated.

At this stage I hope one of the Devs might start looking into this issue, or is there some way to report a bug outside this community?

UPDATE 3: It seems only access to contacts on SIM cards is possible, but at least I am now able to enable/disable SIM card access by enabling/disabling carddav accounts ;) I stored my accounts locally and still no access there.

Update 5: I thought it might be a good idea to update this thread here, with 3.3.0.14, no change to the situation, same issue as before. Still, there is one piece of new information, on one of my phones running 3.2.0.12, I AM able to see contact names now, after the phone sat there for a while. I am completely unable to re-produce the outcome on any other SFOS phone we run in the family, but for whatever reason one phone decided it is about time to get its s* together. I am seriously clueless on why that happened or what triggered the behaviour. oO

At this stage I hope one of the Devs might start looking into this issue, or is there some way to report a bug outside this community?
