You want me to compare the contact's card after reboot, after edit/save and reboot again? Below is the result(chronologically):

Code:

BEGIN:VCARD

TEL;TYPE=PREF;TYPE=CELL:+359xxxxxxxxx

END:VCARD

Code:

BEGIN:VCARD

TEL;TYPE=CELL;TYPE=PREF:+359xxxxxxxxx

END:VCARD

Code:

BEGIN:VCARD

TEL;TYPE=PREF;TYPE=CELL:+359xxxxxxxxx

END:VCARD

As you can see there ARE some differences in the order of the elements of the v-card, but the phone numbers are always listed with the same(correct) type.

zlatko: after your message I played a bit with creating contacts, changing phone types and exporting vcards. I am inclined to think that there is an issue with Qt Mobility on the n900 when handling a phone number with more than a context (CELL+PREF) or (VOICE+CELL). This contact that you are having an issue with must have been imported, right? I don't think you have how to set the context for a phone as PREF by using the standard contacts application on the n900.

If I am right your only way out is to edit the contact add a new phone, making sure to manually select the type to be cell, copy the phone number from the existing one and then delete the old one. If you export again you will see that the only context for the phone will be "CELL".

It seems crazy but the order of the fields may be another factor. You can see that on the second one (the one that works) the first context is CELL on the others the first context is PREF. Why it changes after rebooting is another mystery.

I remember someone saying that there was an issue with Qt Mobility and more than one account of the same type... I think was a Qt Mobility issue and not constrained to mycontacts.

You can try disabling one of the accounts to see if this is indeed the issue. I would also try another application like Horizontal call or fastsms with the two accounts enabled in order to figure out if it is an issue with mycontacts or with applications that use Qt Mobility.

Please let me know of the outcome.

Disabling the 2nd account did the trick; mycontacts came up perfectly after that.

And, looks like you're right; I installed FastSMS and it crashed in the same way. Is Qt Mobility maintained by Nokia?

In this particular case it is not bad. We have already newer versions of qt mobility for the n900 being tested and the code is open and available.

I have never tried to debug this problem but can't imagine that is very hard to find/fix.

@fcrochik
All(most) of my contatcts are imported :-) I have imported them from my previous Symbian phone. That's why some of them have other types. Now when I know what is causing the issue I will find a way to solve it permanently for my device and contact book.
Thank you for your help and time!

@fcrochik
Do you plan to make the design of the contacts cards when called from the widget to be similar to the one of the new version of MyContacts? It looks a lot nicer than the current.

Yes. It is something that I plan to do down the road. But before that I want to implement some other ideas I have (format phone numbers, contact status, send sms, send mms, enhance grouping, ...)
