Bug: Simple Contacts stopped displaying contacts #1044
Description
Starting with Android 14 (GrapheneOS, build 2023100900), Simple Contacts stopped displaying my contacts. By downgrading the app from 6.22.7 (f-droid release) to 6.22.4 (f-droid release) (aka. reinstalling) contacts are available again.
My contacts are stored on a CardDAV Server, synced via the DAVx5 app.
Version 6.22.7:
Version 6.22.4:

do they show up well in other downloaded Contacts apps?

You mean "competitor" apps? I did only try one other app from F-Droid (Connect You, https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.bnyro.contacts/). This one works fine. The stock contacts app from GrapheneOS also works fine. The only problem I experienced was with Simple Contacts version 6.22.7. Currently I downgraded to 6.22.4 and blocked the next upgrade in F-Droid.

I experience the same issue on on the latest GrapheneOS build as well (build 2023100900, Android 14).
I can add that CardDAV address books (and contacts) also show up in in the default GrapheneOS i.e. the stock AOSP Contacts app.

I have the same issue with contacts, and it affects Dialer 5.18.1 as well. Latest GrapheneOS UP1A.231005.007.2023101100
Dialer 5.18.0 and Contacts 6.22.4 works, but Dialer 5.18.1 and Contacts 6.22.7 do not. All 4 tested after a fresh install from f-droid. Just shows a blank contacts list on both apps.

Same here. I don't think its davx because google.contacts works

I can also confirm this, however it may be a bit more tricky.
I was transferring all my stuff from my now (sadly) outdated Pixel 4a to my new Pixel 8.
On the new device (Pixel 8) I get exactly the same behavior as stated here in the thread (fresh installation of version 6.22.7 Pro). No contacts in the contacts app, while all contacts do show up in the integrated Dialer.
However, the interesting thing is that I have exactly the same version of the contact app (6.22.7 Pro) on my Pixel 4a and it works perfectly fine.
Both devices use GrapheneOS, DAVx and both have exactly the same permission settings for the Contact app. The major difference: Pixel 4a is still on Android 13 while the new Pixel 8 is using Android 14. If that makes a difference I do not know.

Had to switch to another contacts app unfortunately.

A user in a German Forum claimed success by activating „Allow to use a custom Contacts app for picking scopes“.

i have tested this hint for a graphenOS device, what seems not to work. Did this work for anyone?
fliegentoeter commentedon Feb 13, 2024
No, not working for me either.

Same issue with Fossify Version of this Contacts app on LineageOs 21 (Android 14). Since update - no contacts shown on OnePlus 6t
