Help Android 2.3 Update problems

[Skeletine]

Since updating to 2.3.3, from 2.2.something, I've noticed a lot of problems, and wondered if there are any fixes, or if they might be my fault to begin with. I'm considering hard resetting my device, although I was hoping that would be a last resort.

1) After updating, I am left with 6 contacts. I don't know why these contacts survived, but all others appear to be gone. In addition, I cannot add contacts. Well, I can add a contact, but they will not show up in the list of "All" contacts.

2) Somebody's name/picture will be showing up in our messaging conversation, and then disappear all of a sudden, and go back to just being a phone number.

3) I know this seems more like a Facebook issue, but it was never a problem until I updated my OS: my own picture and name do not show up on my contact card anymore, or in my conversations.

4) Also, this is vague, but my messaging force closes SEVERAL times a day. Force closes were very rare pre-update.

I know none of these are probably problems with concise remedies, but I just wanted to know if it's just me, or if other users are experiencing similar issues.

I'm having that problem now, my girlfriend is texting me and last night it was working fine. Now all I see is her phone number and nothing else.

For some reason my phone is even showing that her number is NOT in my People yet it is. It will even let me add the number to her contact AGAIN without updating the texting image.
