Hey guys just a question, if you hard reset do you lose all of the linked settings with your contacts (ie email and phone numbers) or does that get linked to your Sim card as I want to hard reset so I can unlock US features (eg Zune) but don't want to go through the process of deleting hundreds of emails in my contacts page - cheers!
It will reset everything and so you will need to add all your contacts, email logins etc.
Thanks - Fml, do you know anyway I can push all of that info and change it so my email remembers all of it so that when I import it I won't need to pop in my other sim?
copy contact to sim, sycn and backup your emails and HARD RESET

Hi,
I borrowed my friends SIM to activate my MYTOUCH phone. During activation, it said this GMAIL account is now linked to this phone. problem is it is HIS gmail account, not mines.
Is there a way to change the email to my gmail address?
Or is the only way to RESET the phone?
thanlks
I'm on an eclair rom right now but there should be an option in your settings called "sync" or something like that where you can add a gmail account and once you add one you can delete the other. Why did you need to borrow someone's SIM to activate the phone? Wouldn't that activate it on that service instead of your own? What are you gonna do when there's no wireless for you to use?

Yes, depend on rom installed. Try this , is you use a rom basef on Eclaire, or something similar in other cases.
Settings-Privacy settings-Factory data reset. Atention that erase all your data stored un phone (contacts etc)
Well, that's weird. Why did you put in your friend's email address? Should've been able to put in your email address even with his SIM.
I found the solution:
going into settings -> applications -> manage apps -> gmail, gmail storage & google apps and clear cache and data. then reboot the phone and see if it prompts you to enter a gmail account.
Once i deleted DATA, i was able to create new gmail account!
The Hero has a Gmail and mail option. What is the difference? How can I change the Gmail address that I initially put in when I bought the phone? I have 3 gmail addresses and I want to change the Gmail address I put in when I bought it to a different one.

The Gmail app will Push your email, while the Mail app has to be set up as POP3 and will only poll on a set time period.
As for Changing the email address associated with the phone, you need to do a Factory reset, which will leave everything on your SD card intact, but will remove the Market and Gmail settings (including calendar, contacts and email) along with all of your installed apps.
Settings > Security > Factory Data Reset > Reset Phone
How do I perform a factory reset, and will it unroot my phone? Also, once you buy an app from the market and you do a factory restore, do you have to buy the apps again?
Thanks.
On the recovery screen do a data wipe, you wont loose root. Paid market apps are associated to your card I think, so those should still show up as paid for when you open the market again.
Hey guys, so i have a problem. I know that in the contacts I can hide all the repeated contacts, meaning the duplicates that show up from google, and t-mobile, and the ones on the SIM card. I have all my contacts linked thro HTC facebook. But when I go to the dialer or to send message it shows all my contacts, so some people show up 4 times!
Is there anyway to hide all the duplicate contacts in dialer and MMS, and secondly, when I receive a message from someone it shows their SIM contact which has no picture and their name as I put it in, and not as it has been "linked"
Thanks in advance!
I am on the same boat. Its annoying cause I only want the Google contacts. Mines has both synced T-Mobile backup and Google. Gonna reset the phone and remove the T-Mobile app before I sync anything and get back to u
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using XDA App
I had this problem and it was unbelievably frustrating when I first got this and after a few days of searching and banging my head against the wall, I found something that worked.
This is how you solve it (or how I solved mine).
1: Sync everything to Google. Edit the contact list in google (use the automatic duplicate deletion), delete useless contacts etc.
2. Remove contacts from EVERYWHERE. Sim card, phone, uncheck google sync. Your phone should then be completely empty for contacts.
3. Re-sync with google contacts. if you want you can copy it back to the SIM and you shouldn't get doubles. I think I just left it with google only but the end result is I don't have 9 different "danny's" show up when I go to compose new message because I know three of them.
Ok great, I'll try that out.. When they gave me my phone, I told the employee at the store that I didn't want the tmobile contacts, and yet, she still set it up. I hope they fix these silly thongs with the update
Try this
I had the same problem, shows same contact more then 1 time. i resolved it this way
1) Go to Contacts (App)
2) Press Menu button (2nd touch button from left)
3) Select View
4) Now select (Check Mark) the contact you want to see. in my case i unchecked all option but Google and Facebook for HTC
5) Select done.
now it will only shows single entry for each contact
Thanks

Open the People app, go to the menu -> More -> Linked contacts. Unlink all the duplicates. Go back to the main screen and you'll be able to delete the duplicate entries.

Thats not going to work, what you have to do is go in your gmail on a pc or anything other than your phone and go to contacts and delete the duplicates. The problem is your contacts are being save to gmail and simcard so everytime you sync with gmail your contact are going right back on your phone along with you sim contacts wich are the same as gmail contacts.this will stop it from happening everytime you sync or flash a rom

It depends completely on whether the contacts are stored as phone contacts (which is the default for contacts entered/imported on the phone) or google contacts. I've had the same issue the OP had, and it was caused by duplicate phone contacts, not google contacts. Doesn't hurt for him to check, of course, you may be right
also the duplicates could be coming in from htcsense.com if you use that or tmobile's contact backup crap if you use that. I also had an issue with HTC Sync where it didn't like that I had contacts with notes on them & started auto duplicating my contacts.
Anyone here able to save contacts directly to smartphone device only without being forced to save all your personal and private contacts on some cloud server..?
You should be able to select "sim only" when adding a new contact. It kinda sucks because sim cards can't hold as much info and if you lose it, you lose everything.
You can turn off contact sync under your Google account settings. That "should " prevent them syncing. I never tried it though.
