Sync 'My Contacts', not 'All Contacts' w/Gmail

I've done a bunch of searching and can't find the answer for this phone.
Does anyone know how we can select just "My Contacts" instead of "All Contacts" with regards to syncing the Google contact list?
There's gotta be a way. I'm going to check the option to only show contacts with phone numbers but frankly, that option kind of sucks. There should be a better way to do this.

i have the same issue and can't find any setting to sync only My Contacts.

What is even more annoying is that it does not sync the groups i have set in google contacts
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I can't find any options to add groups or add contacts to groups. I have only 2 groups listed - google and corporate with no options.
I think Touchwiz completely borked groups.

Yeah, it seems to be a problem with touchwiz because my buddy who's got an EVO has the option available.

Yeah, this is probably the only thing on the Captivate that I haven't been able to fix. It syncs every random Google contact I have, whereas other Android phones I've had would only sync the "My Contacts" group.

You can set contacts to only display people with numbers, if that helps.

You can create groups. Open Contacts then hit menu, create. Then when you open the group there will be an add member on the screen. For existing groups with members, you have to hit menu and then add member to add more.

The other thing is that I keep losing contacts randomly.
I don't understand why this is happening, it's quite frustrating

I still can't follow;
I open contacts and hit create and I get an overlay "save contact to" with 4 choices:
Phone
Sim
Corporate
Google
Only if i choose phone and scroll to the bottom is there an group field (shows unassigned).
EDIT - if i select the group i go to an empty box, but i can hit menu and create a group. Unfortunately every group or contact I create assigned to phone (not corp or google) becomes hidden. If I try to create group with the same name, it says it exists. Trying to create a new contact in "phone" still gives me empty group list.
So TouchWiz is hiding some stuff/data in the interface. Very bizarre.

I forget a step, sorry. You have to select groups after opening contacts.
I used the free AT&T Address Book feature on this phone to create all my contacts on the phone. I then have them linked to my Corporate contacts, Gmail and Facebook. This allows me to assign custom ringtones and manage my contacts using all the features of the phone.
To use the AT&T Address I had to export my contacts from Outlook to a CSV file. I then imported them via the AT&T website (addressbook.att.net). Now I have all my contacts as phone contacts and no longer have the SNS restrictions.

[Q] Any note-taking app that can link to Google contact?

There are so many note-taking apps out there and I have tried many of them, but none of them has the feature that I need.
I want a note-taking app to be able to linked directly from my contact list. I want to take note of each transactions made for each of my clients, based on their contacts. There may be more than 1 transaction for each contact so contacts' "Note" field is not sufficient for this task.
Does anyone know of any app that can do this?

How about this particular app?
Bubble - note Bubble Notes - Android Market
Bubble is a blast of brilliancy - notes show up when called like a live notepad.

Thanks for the suggestion, though I would pretty much prefer an app that doesn't change my incoming calls UI, and a longer note (I don't need to see the note when they call, only when I open the app).
I was thinking if there's any app that can be integrated/linked inside contact like Facebook, Twitter, Whatsapp, etc.

[App] SMS Name Fix 1.0.2

In times of Win mobile i used SMS Fix application, that was trying to find contact by phone number in incoming text.
I was missed it on android and so decided to develop the same app for it
Sms Name Fix is this application!
In the current version it has the following features:
1. When you receive a text message with phone number
app tries to find the contact in your phone book by this number and display the name in message's text when success.
2. When you touch phone number in any text Sms Name Fix allows you to dial or send message immediately instead of basic android behavior!
Any suggestions and comments will be very much appreciated!
You can download app from Android Market http://market.android.com/details?id=com.exi.ps.smsname

Nice, app works on my Ics rom 4.0.4

I have installed this app.
Works like a charm!
Thank you!
What future plans for app? Any cool features?

Works great, thanks!

Yes, i've just added 2 new feautres in popup dialog:
1. Save number to existing contact if app found contact
2. Save number to new contact if not
Update will coming soon

Update 1.0.3 is ready
Added 2 new feautres in popup dialog:
- Show contact card if it has been found
- Save number to contacts otherwise

Great! I missing this one! It's very useful!

App seems to be very usefull.
I dont need function to add contact name in incoming text,
but the idea to extend basic android behavior with text and allow users to quick send message to unknown number is great.
I think that you can rename your app SMS Buns оr Simple SMS or something like that and add some more useful features like sending contact details via sms or email. That will be even more usefull for usual users cos they always use native firmwares.
What about small enhancements pack for Android?)

New version 1.1.0!
I changed app name to SMS Enhancer and add new feature. Now it
allows to send contact details as simple text via SMS or EMail instead of vCard.
Hope will be useful.

Exactly what i always need! Thanks

Can you please add in share contact: sharing of postal address too and IM's.
Thank you!

Hi, his is what I miss from WM6.5 but it no more in Google plays, can you please please to put it in there again. or have you changed the name of it.

[APP][Free] MeMail - quick email and share utility

Hello world,
Do you email yourself notes, to-do items and links to web pages so you'll remember to deal with them later?
The thing is that each time you have to open your email app, compose a new message, fill in your email address and only then start the message.
So I created MeMail - set up your email address once and you're done.
Launch MeMail and type away.
Found an interesting link? In your browser go: Menu->Share->MeMail and it's there.
Give it a try - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=il.co.spaces.memail
Works with all the email clients, no permissions needed, free.
I would appreciate comments so I could improve further.
Thanks.

AW: [APP][Free] MeMail - quick email and share utility
I thought about writing an app like this. I like to email myself the location where I parked my car. The email is also sent to my girlfriend, so she'll know too. Does your app support multiple recipients and predefined email subject?

The next version (which I'm working on) will have a predefined subject.
I'll also add the option for including current location, why not?
Thanks for commenting.

Great idea. Email myself so many things xD

I think including location is not important, it will make the app too complex perhaps.
It's great that you will support predefined email subject. :good: I use it to apply Gmail filter and label.
Maybe it would be a good idea to have profiles in your app, e.g.
Profile 1
Name: Default
Recipients: me
Subject: MeMail Reminder
Profile 2
Name: Dude, where's my car?
Recipients: me, girlfriend
Subject: Car Location

Is it possible to store message as draft?

Sure, since all the email handling is done by your email client - If you don't send your message it will be saved as draft.

Using profiles is a good idea, but I was thinking more of creating different desktop shortcuts that launch different settings... Profiles could be used when using the sharing feature from within the browser.
Thanks

I understand. Will you also implement profiles? So that when something is shared to MeMail, the user is prompted which profile should be used and MeMail then creates the email accordingly.
Btw, I tested multiple recipients. It works fine by simply separating the email addresses through a semicolon.

very cool idea, i email myself thing all the time.

Thanks for Sharing

Bad idea, of course profiles seems to be interesting, but don't ask user each time which one to use, add default profile and option in menu to choose default profile.

Good idea! Declaring a default account which will be used for sharing within the browser (I actually thought of using a pop-up).

Regarding the shortcuts "system":
Let's say you have two shortcuts - one is called "parking" and the other "notes". When you launch "parking" it has the subject set to - "my car is at:" and the body of the message has your location. It will be sent to you and your girlfriend.
"notes" will have "notes" as the subject and only your email as the recipient.
This way you get the email started immediately (no need to choose a profile).
Launching the main app will let you manage the profiles and shortcuts.

Yeah, it's great to have both options, profiles and shortcuts. Looking forward to it! :good:

Can someone please share it,i had to restore rom and forgot to backup this great app(can't find it on play store)
Please !? :crying:

Just starting now with the next version.
Since installing windows 8 I can't get my computer to smile..
Hopefully until Thursday I'll have something out

Thanks for the heads up.

[MOD][4.4+]DayKek[Kik]

Hello. I have been working on this kik for awhile from now. Our mod is based on Pikek with some extra features.
All the info about Day will be down below:
Scroll to very bottom for download link
Complete list of features:
APPEARANCE
Square Pictures - This makes the profile pictures square instead of round.
Marquee Names - If the name of a user or group is long enough, the name will scroll.
Hide Dividers - Chat Dividers will be hidden from the main conversations screen.
Custom Hint - Changes the text that appears in the text input on a chat screen.
Text Size - Changes the font size of the chat. Note: it doesn't adjust the bubble size very well.
Text Font - Changes the font of the chat.
Bubble Opacity - Changes how visible the chat bubble is.
Incoming Shape - Changes the shape of the chat bubble for messages you receive.
Outgoing Shape - Changes the shape of the chat bubble for messages you send.
Incoming Bubble Color - Changes the color of the chat bubble for messages you receive.
Outgoing Bubble Color - This is just a shortcut to the Outgoing Bubble Color settings already in Kik.
Incoming Text Color - Changes the color of the text for messages you receive.
Outgoing Text Color - Changes the color of the text for messages you send.
THEME
Theme Color - Changes the main color of the App.
Theme Hex - Enter a custom Hex Color to use as the app's main color.
Light Hex - Switches a custom theme's text color to black.
Enable Hex - Enables a custom theme based on what is entered in Theme Hex.
Note: Devices on Lollipop or higher may experience a bug on the conversations screen. If this occurs, turn off 'Enable Hex' then set the theme color to 'Clear.'
BACKGROUND
Background Image - Allows for a custom background to be applied via gallery.
Enable Background - Enables the selected Custom background.
MEDIA
Fake Camera - This will make pictures you send from the gallery appear as if you took them with the camera. Note: The auto send bug from Pikik is fixed!
No Save - When someone receives media (image or video) from you, the option to save it will be disabled.
Auto Loop - When someone receives a video from you, it will automatically repeat (start from the beginning again after the video is over).
Auto Mute - When someone receives a video from you, it will be muted by default. Note: They can still unmute the video if they choose to.
Auto Play - When someone receives media a video from you, it will start playing automatically. Note: They can still disable this by going to Settings -> Chat Settings -> Auto Play Videos.
No Forward - When someone receives media (image or video) from you, the option to forward it will be disabled. Note: They can still save it (unless No Save is enabled) and send it to another group.
TIMESTAMPS
All Timestamps - This will show a timestamp above every message (including join/leave messages).
Exact Timestamps - This show the exact time instead of approximations such as "a minute ago."
Past Timestamps - This option is just for fun. It will make your messages appear to have been sent on December 31st, 1969. Note: It may push your chat to the bottom of the receivers conversation list.
PER-CHAT
Global Settings - Pikek has the ability to change read receipts and typing notifications per-chat. This means that you can make one chat (PM or group) see S-check (sent receipts) and another chat will not. This option applies the next two options to all chats regardless. To access the per-chat options, disable this option and go to the chat information screen for the chat you want to configure.
Disable Typing - When you type it will not say "XYZ is typing..."
Read Receipts - Normal: the other person will see when you read (R) their message. This is the default behaviour for Kik Messenger. Delievered: They will know their message was delievered (D) to your device. This would normally mean your device has received their message but you haven't opened it yet. Stealth: the other person will see that their message was sent (S) to Kik. This would normally mean your device is not turned on, connected to the Internet, you are signed out, or otherwise not able to receive messages.
YOUR ACCOUNT
Save Pikek Settings - All Settings will not be wiped when logging out of Kik.
Save Per-Chat - This will save all per-chat options and they will persist through resets. This is useful for switching accounts periodically and maintaining your per-chat settings.
BATCH OPTIONS
On the conversation list screen there is an icon to left of the Kik Browser icon (on the top right), pressing this will bring up the following four actions:
Clear all chats - This will permanently delete all messages from all chats including private messages. Note: This does nothing to New Chats. If you click the New Chats bar at the bottom, there will be a recycle bin icon at the top right. Pressing that icon will remove all new chats.
Mute all chats - This will mute (forever) all chats. Note: This does nothing to New Chats.
Unmute all chats - This will unmute all chats. Note: This does nothing to New Chats.
Mark all read - This will remove the blue dot on all chats, indicating there is no unread messages. Note: This does nothing to New Chats. Bug: Force closing after using this option will make it only temporary and the unread status will return upon reopening Pikek. This does NOT send any read receipt (S, D, R) to the chats.
LONG PRESS CONVO
Clear - This will permanently delete all messages in this chat.
Save - This will save a transcript to your SD card or internal storage. When you use this option a toast will come up telling you the file path and file name. Note: The file name is the timestamp when the transcript was saved and "_TRANSCRIPT.txt"
IN CHAT
Pi icon (top right) - This is just a shortcut to the Pikek settings.
Long Press Message (Reply) - this copies the message to the input text box and adds two new lines.
Long Press Message (Kick) - This will kick the user from the group. Note: this option only shows up if the user is able to be kicked by you.
Long Press Message (Ban) - This will ban the user from the group. Note: this option only shows up if the user is able to be banned by you.
Chat Info - If Global Settings are disabled, an option to toggle typing notifications and your preferred read receipt will appear.
COMMANDS
!commands - This will list available commands.
!comhelp - This will provide usage instructions on custom commands.
!bothelp - This will provide usage instructions on using Kik Bots.
!c - This will change the ASCII text after the "!c " into Regional Indicator Symbols. This is just for fun.
!purge - This will remove all possible users from a group very quickly.
!unban - This will clear the ban list in a group provided you're an admin.
OTHER
No Pull - Normally in the conversation list pulling down from the top will open your camera so that you can scan a Kik Code. This option disables that. Note: You can still use Kik Codes while this is enabled.
Open Tray - Normally after inserting one smiley, the tray closes. This keeps the tray open so that you can add more than one smiley at a time in less time.
Anti Loggers - It is possible to get your IP Address logged by receiving and clicking a carefully crafted Kik Card. This option prevents that as the expense of not being able to open legitimate Kik Cards.
Enable Links - Often times other users will send malicious URLs. This option will prevent you from accidentally clicking one. Further, there can be issues with some URLs making Kik lag and crash. This will not happen if this option is not checked.
Use Browser - Any parsed links will not be opened through Kik's browser, but instead through your device's default web browser.
Privacy Mode - This will make the preview on the conversation list screen always say "..." so that a shoulder-surfer won't have any idea what is going on in the other groups.
Do Not Disturb - Enabling this will leave any group you are added to. This is great for getting out of "Kik Jails" and leaving groups at night without worrying about being added back. Note: The groups where it says "Just You" is not a Pikek bug, that's a Kik bug.
TROLL
Auto Read - Overrides Global Settings and automatically sends Read Scripts to all users.
Auto Reply (BETA) - Every time you recieve a PM, a message is automatically sent back to the user. This message is currently not changeable.
Auto Meme (BETA) - Every time you recieve a PM, the sent message is automatically sent back to the user who sent it.
Auto Annoy (BETA) - Secret
EMOTIONS
Ghost Emoticons - This is just for fun. Clicking this will add the standard set of smileys to the options but they are gray instead of yellow. Note: clicking it more than once will add the ghost smileys to the options more than once. You can get rid of them by opening the smiley shop (the + symbol in the smiley tray).
All Emoticons - Sometimes a user will lose the smileys they legitimately purchased with Kik Points and is left with no way to recover them. This option will unlock ALL smileys and is ONLY to be used by those who have previously purchased them legitimately with Kik Points. By using this option you agree that you have legitimately purchased ALL smileys with Kik Points and you take full responsibility of ALL consequences resulting from the use of this option.

It is amazing work. Unfortunately, Kik team keeps on patching the mods. Many times the Fake Camera option has been patched, but thanks to the amazing devs, we are able to keep the feature going.
On April 1st, 2017 timeframe they made it so modded kik clients cannot join public groups (the ones with hashtags), also they set put a rule, that newly joined members cannot send any media(pictures, videos, stickers, etc) for 24 hours after they join the group. Please look into this. Thanks
I love you guys, you make Kik a wonderful experience.
