Has anyone seen problems with Google contacts? All of my contacts are stored on my *second* gmail account (not my primary for the phone). Most of my contacts show up in the list, but some do not. My wife in particular is the big issue.
She shows up in contact searches via the Google Apps "Directory" for the apps account, but she isn't in the actual contacts list and doesn't show up in favorites. I have seen this issue on several roms, and its a deal breaker that I really want to get figured out.
The contact list works flawlessly in stock. I'm running out of ideas and ready to ditch stock if I can resolve this issue.
In case any of you wonder - this issue appears to be related to Android auto-merging of contacts (as described here:

). I located several contacts (including my wife's) that were automatically merged with other contacts, and after separating them, things are better.
I'm guessing that whatever base Artic HD (and other rom's I've tried) uses must have a bug in the auto-contact-merge functionality, since this isn't a problem with my stock ics.
Randomly I have seen the contacts that I separate merge back together and I've not been able to find any part of any of the contacts that is the same which would cause the auto-merge to occur.
So at least I've figured out *why* the contacts are missing, and manual separation appears to fix it until they auto-merge again. Just have to figure out why the auto-merge is detecting them as duplicates and joining them together.
I would be interested to know if anyone has ever seen this before, or if any of you have any thoughts as to the cause.
