Works fine for me on XA2/4.4.
Maybe you have a broken carddav account?
When I edit a contact, it always asks me first whether to edit the local contact or on nextcloud, so a broken sync account may cause issues…
I do not have any carddav account - i do not sync anywhere - all the contacts are only on the device and were never imported/synced. This problem does not occur for all contacts - it seems to happen only with contacts that i haven’t used for a very long time (or the ones that i virtually do not use at all). i could debug or provide logs - but somebody needs to tell me how to do this.
it is not the messages but the jolla-contacts app. however the log file is very short if i start it like you proposed it. Actuall i only get 5 lines that give me the loading times i would need a much more verbose log to find the problem.
I remember having been unable to edit some contacts (XA2). The “edit” in menu was greyed.
IIRC, these contacts were imported from another phone (through a file.)
But if you also have th second problem (wrong phones numbers) I would opt for a corrupted database.
I would perhaps be safe to backup your contacts.
Maybe, you could try to export them and re-import them?
You can export them with:
devel-su -p vcardconverter --export contacts.vcf
Note it doesn’t work as root but only like writen above (as root has no contacts, I guess).
Just an idea.
