    Hi, I cannot save contacts. When I select ” Create contact” after a long pause, a pop up screen declares “Unfortunately , Contacts has stopped”
    My phone was working perfectly for 10 months and then this, out of the blue has cropped up.

    My phone doesn’t display the “Merge accounts” option when I tap the menu icon. Do I have a different version or something? I want to send all my device contacts to Google. How can I do that without the “Merge accounts” option?
