Describe the bug
contacts become unusable the repeaters names dissapear being replaced by weird characters some of the repeaters lose their repective names completely.

Only thing to do is start again after wip[ing all the contacts.

I add all the contacts i want to keep by saving them as favourites yesterday was getting close to the upper limmits of 250 when the corruption of the contacts happened? Maybe related?

Which device are you using

LilyGO T-Deck Plus

Which Firmware are you using

0-9.10

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

I have not deliberately tried to reinact the contacts becoming corrupt but seems to be when you are nearing the upper save limmit of your contacts list ?

Additional context
Add any other context about the problem here.

Can you make a photograph showing the issue? Or is it already "too late" since you now wiped them and the issue did not reappear yet?

(Just another data point: My contact list is full, too, and I have not seen corruption yet.

And I wonder if new contacts get added automatically, deleting the oldest contacts, or if new contacts are rejected. I would like to have a toggle for this, and I prefer the first functionality right now. Maybe I missed a setting, maybe the developer can answer that question at some point.)
