Contact Links

I know the issue of duplicate contacts has been discussed to death and the issue being related to Google contacts. My problem seems to be a little different, hence the new thread.

I have done all the suggested "fixes" and am still getting duplicates contacts. These are NOT Google contacts but phone contacts. I have phone numbers stored on both the phone and the SIM (I've tried phone, SIM and both and still have issues). I manually edited the duplicated contacts and added links to each so that every contact has 2 links (SIM & Phone). All is well for a while and them back they come. It is usually the same contacts that get duplicated and it's only a few. When I say duplicated I mean there are two identical entries in my phone contacts. I then re-link the two ( do not delete either of them) and all is well again for a while. To reiterate, these are not Google contacts and I do not have any other contacts (Google, email Linkedin etc) synced. To add weight to it not being a sync issue, some of the contacts that show up as duplicates have no email or other contact info at all that could even be synced.

I love this phone but this is truly driving me nuts.

Yeah I've had the same problem all along its very annoying. This issue is still present in 10.1.0.1483... Also when I restart the phone my linked accounts reset, so I always need to turn off Twitter contacts from the contacts app.
