How are you storing the contact? In which contact memory - Phone storage, Phone storage (not visible for other apps) or storage created by another app?

It seems my replies are not getting through to Aga-C via email so I'll report here. I solved the problem by deleting all the backups of the contacts and entering new contact data into the app. I guess an empty backup was overwriting the data in Contacts every time I started the phone.
