How TIMES_CONTACTED works on Android

I开发者_运维百科 try an application that simply makes a list of contact with same information (name, number, last contact, etc.) order by ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.TIMES_CONTACTED.

But the values are wrong, I have 481 calls to a number I never call and 0/10 calls to the number I call most frequently. Tha phone is a HTC Legend.

Are there problems with this value?

From a quick look around, it seems like other users are having the same problem with both HTC and Samsung. General guesswork seems that the TIMES_CONTACTED value isn't being updated correctly.

See this other question and this outside forum post
