Hi guys. This is my first post so please forgive me if I am clumsy explaining things.
Have a Samsung Galaxy s7 for 2 months now. Everything fine until today after some massive updates which happened when I deleted the keyboard data from the application list menu and restored yesterday's Samsung data. I did this because I have just installed LastPass today and the Samsung keyboard saved my LastPass login password lol!! Which I thought was terribly insecure.
My Gmail on the phone no longer gives me options of email addresses when I start typing in the recipient field. To send an email I have to click on the three little dots and add from contacts and then it gives me a list of EVERYTHING. Every single contact ever. Sigh.
I have been trawling through the forums and tried 1.synching several times. 2. Rebooting my phone several times. 3. Restored contacts from backup on my desktop from yesterday and resynched my S7 Gmail contacts. 4. Tried the adding stars to some contacts on the desktop "work about" I saw on the forum and otherwise making changes to contacts on the desktop and resyncing. 5. Tried the Samsung email app with my gmail account and same thing - slightly better in that it gives a searchable list but is still trawling through all my phone contacts. 6. Ran an app that was recommended by another user on the forum. 7. Checked that my settings were as recommended on the boards but I may be missing something obvious.
Did I break it or is this an inevitable bug? Is it a LastPass conflict?
Please can someone take pity on a helpless newbie.
I'd hate to have to hard reset.
Or live with the current situation....
On the bright side if I can remember how the email address starts the Samsung keyboard remembers the rest!!
