Revision history [back]

I have my contacts synced in an exchange server. For some time I have noticed my phone lagging a lot and draining battery fast, but I haven't paid any attention to it. A couple days ago I noticed that the People app takes a long time to load and when it finally loads, some of the contacts are multiplied. Now, I didn't pay much attention to this either, until I checked today how many contacts there are in the exchange server. I originally had ~300 contacts, but there were ~24000 contacts in the server. Not all the contacts had multiplied, but those that were, there were really many copies.

I checked with htop that voicecall-ui and contactsd were using ~95% of cpu.

I tried to resolve this issue by recovering the server side contacts from a backup, which did not help. I also tried to delete the exchange account, which also did not delete the contacts. Finally I removed the contacts by removing the qtcontacts-sqlite directory as mentioned here: https://together.jolla.com/question/10161/fixed-in-1038-how-to-delete-manyall-contacts-from-people-app/#post-id-14706

The contacts muliplying is one issue, but shouldn't the deleting the exchange account remove the contacts associated to the account?
