Contact list 3 digit numbers

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Select Contact Information
2. Select contact

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Only shows up 3 digit numbers without apparent meaning!
When a contact is selected, It then shows the name of the contact on 
previous screen.
The field "display on lock screen" is always an e-mail. It seems that only 
shows a small portion of contacts, and only the ones that have e-mail from 
google account maybe.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
2.2

Please provide any additional information below.

I have the same issue. From what I've sampled, it looks like all the contacts 
are being pulled from my gmail account. So, now my phone says to contact some 
person I emailed 3 years ago if I lose my phone. I would replace it but the 
rest are just numbers and are probably equally unknown. I have tried the 
following:

Clearing the cache of contact owner
Uninstalling contact owner
Reinstalling contact owner
Deleting the contact in gmail

Nothing works. I'm just stuck with contact info for a person I don't know. 

Evo, 2.1, not rooted

The numbers are in order of the contacts in the list.  Assuming you have gmail, 
go to your contacts online (PC) then see where you are in relation to the 
contact that shows, then count.

So if you selected #67 on your phone and it is John Q Public, look at your "ALL 
CONTACTS" list on gmail and from Johbn Q Public, count to your contact you want 
to show up ( lets say it is 10 below John Q Public)  then go back to your phone 
and count 10 down from #67 on the list ( not to #77 but 10 SLOTS down) and that 
should be the one you want.  

Yeah it sucks, but that is the only workaround I have found...

I didn't uninstalled. But manage to show my e-mail instead of a friend :)

Yes when you uninstall the application the message stays there. I think I read 
somewhere, that you just need to set a new alarm and unset afterwards, and the 
message will disappear. Because the application uses the space of the text 
alarm on the lock screen (I'm guessing :) ).

I found an easier workaround based on comment #3.

1. On your phone, edit the contact you want to use and add a 1(one) to the 
beginning of the contact's name (1John Q Public).  This will cause it to jump 
to the top of the list.
2. Go to contact selection screen in Owner and choose the first contact on the 
list of 3-digit numbers.
3. Go back and rename your contact back to what it was before step 1.  Owner 
should detect the change and update the name it displays within a minute or two.

My phone was slightly used when I bought it, I did Factory reset to delete all 
contacts and some applications but the display still has the name and phone 
number of the first user. I installed contact owner app. and put in my details 
but it still dispalys the details of the first user. how do I change to my 
contact since the phone is now mine? pls help me.

I have a similar problem. My contact list from which I'am to chose a contact 
has only a single entry and shows only the comment field.
No problem so far with Android's 'Contacts' app. My Google account has no 
entries at all.
Maybe this problem has to do with the update to Froyo yesterday. The same error 
occurs with the Barcode Scanner app when I want to show the QR Code of a 
contact.
