I was messing around with my phone trying to get my gmail contacts organized and I ended up getting a bunch of duplicates, so I went to Manage applications and wiped People and Contacts storage and then synced with google again.
Now when I go to People > Groups > Menu
All I see is Add group and Delete group. My Sync groups option is missing... so I can't de-select All Contacts.
Not sure how or why this happened... but I can't for the life of me get the Sync Groups option to come back in the People app.
I'm running Fresh .6 rom and I flashed the Optimized apk's (the ones edited w/ ZipAlign)
Any ideas?
EDIT: I fixed my problem by doing a nandroid restore which took me back to fresh .4 then I flashed fresh .6 again and all is well.. no duplicates in the people app anymore and my sync groups option is back in People > Groups > Menu

I originally imported Gmail contacts last November but now I have a cleaned-up Gmail list. It would be easier to completely delete the gTab file and reimport, but I can't find how to so... nor can I find a likely suspect data file on the tablet. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Not sure but maybe you just have to remove your Gmail account and create it again. Probably it will sync the new contact list

Somehow it appears to me that the e-mail app is separate from the contacts app, and I haven't found anything clarifying what must be done to delete contact entries. There do not seem to be any controls to delete contact records one at a time or as a checklist ala File Expert. I was using the tablet mail app before I decided to experiment with the contacts list. I thought I might recognize a likely data but not yet.
On my phone it's under Settings -> Accounts & sync but I don't see any such option on my g tab. Maybe just not exposed in the older version of TNTLite I'm running. Worth a look...
hello everyone i just want to ask a quick question, my sensation 4g which has s-off is rooted and has android revolution hd 3.6.4 flashed i have logged into facebook and it has synced all my contacts from facebook to my phonebook which i dont want, so what i wanted to know how can i remove all the facebook contacts without having to log out?
Go to people- > settings -> view. Select ONLY Facebook contacts.. Then go and delete them all in people - > options - > delete - > select all
Other method is to go to applications->manage applications->facebook->clear data..
But i think that, other method will erase your account.. I dont know exactly
I hope i helped
Cheers
Or, since you're on 3.6.4, go into contacts, tap menu/view and uncheck Facebook for HTC Sense. That should hide them.
Alternatively, clear Facebook data as above, log back in, and when you open contacts for the first time, tell it to only sync data how you want it to. Either all FB contacts, only the ones in your phone, or none.

uninstalled various apps using titanium back-up and my phone account for contacts is gone. Only gmail account for contacts available now. All the stuff i deleted were ok to delete on froyo. Anyone has any idea which app causes that? Possible candidates are lg pc suite, email, richnote ,social and a few more. Since i need to reinstall the rom everytime it is a bit annoying to try and eliminate each and every one of them so i was wondering if anyone has pinpointed the problem so far. And no if i make a backup of the apps i uninstall with titanium back up and then restore it my phone account doesn't return...
I can't help with what apps may cause it but you might find it easier to go into the settings menu of your phone and go to the part of it showing your applications and look at the permissions required to see what apps need sms or contact related permissions.
I can say that you are able to back up phone contacts with Titanium Backup and restore them which should mean that even if an app uninstalls them you can simply restore the contacts from an sd card.
Haven't used Titanium for a while so had to look up how to backup contacts for you but apparently this should be all you need to do in order to backup your contacts with it (copied and pasted from another websites support pages so not my instructions)....
1 - Open Ti Backup
2 - Select the 'Backup/Restore' tab
3 - Select the 'menu' button to bring up some options in this tab
4 - Select 'Batch' (there a bunch of pre-programmed choices)
5 - Option 3 <RUN> 'Backup all user apps+system data'
6 - This will open another window where you can view all the items that are going to be backed up one of which is 'CONTACTS/CALLS' among a bunch of other items.
7 - Select 'Run Operation' at the top and the backup will start
8 - Be sure to copy the contents to your local machine HD for safe keeping
If that is done you shouldn't have a problem with contacts again, alternatively you can also sync contacts with gmail so your phone contacts can be restored that way as well.

for some strange reason lg pc sync caused it. when I uninstall it my phone contacts account is gone. Not sure if it is happening to me only though...
Hey folks,
I just finished saving my current phone contacts to Google instead of to my phone. I then deleted all the "Phone" versions of my contacts. Now all my contact icons have defaulted back to the basic picture when I open my Contacts app and begin scrolling. The only way I can see the individual icons is if I go all the way to the edit contact screen, or by logging into my Google account on a PC.
Do I need to re save all my contacts to my phone's local memory to get them to re show up again when I start scrolling? Or delete them all and restore them?
Thanks for any help.
ETA: I'm running dman's awesome streamlined Gingerbread ROM, and Entropy's lastest test kernel.
Figured I'd add this for futurer searchers...
I just had to force resync and all my contacts with pictures were restored.
My contacts are in such a mess! I have them synced from google as well as the odd few from Exchange.
Google stopped syncing my contacts so I deleted the data from contacts storage which fixed that but now they are all merged or not existing.
I have removed google account and exchange but there are still contacts showing. I think these have been created internally from whatsapp which is annoying. Is there a way to delete all of these in bulk?
Or any other solutions to fix this?
First write correctly the title, seriously how people will know what is it about...
Then you have to solutions:
1st: sync all accounts you have then go to contacts > contacts to show > custom > select the one you want.
2nd: (this is what i do usually)
export all contacts on the phone
Backup the export
Delete all google contacts, everything on phone etc
Import them back in google contacts (https://www.google.com/contacts/)
search for duplicate in google contacts
rename them correctly
do the same with Exchange
Sync
clean the mess
delete useless contacts (like the pizza you ordered 4 years ago)
set up groups (like "i never phone them but i keep them in memory", "work", "favorite"
and then do the first solution to select the categories you want to show
The first 4 points are optionnal and if you do them PLEASE take care and be sure you have a BACKUP if you mess up everything
This will get your contacts clean and they will merge with all the differents accounts (like exchange+google+google plus+whatsapp etc)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks - that makes sense. The dialler still shows 2 contacts even though in people and google website it shows 1!
As for the title I've no idea what happened! I must have typed in a special character or something that removed my title! Apologies!
