I have an issue with knowing 2 people with the same name (spelled the same)...so my n1 recognizes them both as 1 person with 2 facebook accounts and different phone numbers, 2 different birthdays, etc...is there anyway i can separate the 2????

So I don't get what HTC did with the Thunderbolt....on my Incredible it used to send my contacts I added to the phone on Google. However now it doesn't sync them. And I can't find an option to save to Google instead of Phone.
When you add a contact, the second field is contact type: phone or Google. Choose Google to add to the Google cloud.

I have noticed, (and this I very annoying) , that when I first setup a new rom, after syncing my google account, it creates duplicate entries, one called phone and one called google of the same phone number.

It doesn't sync them because by default new contacts are not set up as google contacts. After selecting to make a new contact you must before inputting the name manually make it a google contact.

Open contacts
Hit menu
Hit view
Uncheck everything but Google.
This will make your default Google when u add a new one.
Then they will sync

And there is no way to edit where the contact saves to AFTER you make it? I could've sworn I could change it on my Inc.

This works great, thanks. I never liked having to select Google for each new contact.

Sure you can edit contacts. Go into the People app, click on one of your contacts, and press the Menu button and choose Edit. Not only that, but in the edit screen you can choose to link identical names in your phone book and the you can see what information is stored in the phone (which syncs to Verizon's Backup Assistant) and what is stored in Google.
Knave68's post above tells you how to make sure that your phone will sync with your Google account.
It doesn't let you switch between a phone contact to a google contact, am I missing something?
Go to people, hit menu, import/export, export to SD.
Then choose phone. This will export all your phone only contacts to a vcard file.
Then choose import from SD and set Google as the destination.

You can go to phone> contacts> hit menu key and there is an import/export option. You can import or export all your contacts to google at once.
Also in the menu options under more> settings> you can set your phone so that all new contacts will go straight to google.
Hope this helps you.

i only have the option to export to sim or sd card
That is weird. You should also have options to import/export FROM Sim and sdcard.
What ROM are you on...maybe you got a bad download.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
I have a thought..
Go to phone > contacts > menu > more > settings > Save new Contacts to. Then set google as your place to have your new contacts saved to.
When you are finished doing that reboot your phone. Then go back and see what your import/export options are. Hopefully you will now have the options to import/export FROM sdcard and Sim
**ALSO** In our phones main SETTINGS menu go to Accounts and sync then > Manage accounts > press the gmail account you want synced (make sure sync is ON). Make sure Sync contacts is checked. That will get you synced with google.

The Accounts and Sync will do it for you. As Jerry D said I have also set the phone to save new contacts to google by default. Makes flashing new ROMs so much less of hassle, plus you can always access your contacts from wherever you can get online.

Export a vcf file to ur SD card, then re-import it to google contacts.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Make sure u disable facebook n' Twitter contacts syncing before exporting, otherwise when u resync to ur google contacts u will get duplicated contacts for both social networks.. At least that's what i remember out of my experience... also, should u wipe ur contacts after exporting ur list? (So u only see one cope of'em from google)
Bonus: If u use Go Contacts it can batch identify duplicated/related contacts and merge/delete them if needed.

Delete the contact
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
There are no other ways unless you delete those ````
In your contacts settings, there is an option to only display contacts with phone numbers or something along those lines.
Ah! Found it,... In your Contacts, go to Contacts Account. In there is an option for "Show contacts with phone numbers only" That should do the trick for you.
its very annoying, i really don't want all the email addresses i communicate with to be in my address book..
thanks for your help fellas
don't know what are you using for contacts, but on go contacts app you can go to menu/settings/contacts account and then mark show contacts with phone numbers only
Hello, I've spent the last hour linking my Google Contacts with Facebook. So i think, i don't wanna do this again next time I flash new rom or change phone. So is it possible to make some kind of backup that will remember what contacts where linked.
If not, is there an app that can rename all my Google Contacts according to the names of the linked Facebook account.
Are you using a HTC phone with a Sense ROM? If you are, then the People app in Sense adds a tag to each contact once you link it. Using this it automatically restores Facebook link when you factory reset/flash a new ROM. To confirm that it added those tags for you, open a contact and look under the 'Notes' section. Also log into your Gmail account on a computer, open a few random linked contacts and see if this tag is there under 'Notes'. If it's there, it's backed up with Google contacts and when you restore the contacts to the phone, it'll automatically link them after signing into Facebook.

i wish i could help man, i want to do the same thing too
Unfortunately, I don't think it is really possible as these are two separate sets of contacts. The best way to alleviate some of the hassle is to transfer some of the data over, as in, transfer the facebook info into your Google contacts.
Facebook info is not editable as it is stored on their sore and merely linked to it. Ubuntu One os working on their contact management which would slow for this as it syncs facebook, Google and any other services to you ubuntu account then would sync to your mobile.

I've added all the email address of my friends to my Google contacts. I manually did this one day on my computer, copy pasting email addresses from Facebook to Google contacts. Since then I've never had this problem. Facebook automatically identifies my contacts through their email ID and links them. It's a time consuming process, but you'll only need to do it once and for every new contact that you add.

Well i'm hardly a developer, but if it possible to access to contacts joined contacts from the android API, and if we build an application that would read information from facebook(with permission, like all FB apps) then i guess it would be possible to store lets say profile id from fb to google contacts notes, and then with the same app, you would be able to join them again in case of new phone/new rom.
Would you say thats possible? Would anyone try to build that?
I think i will try to make something like that after I finish the college year.
HTC has a feature like that, as was mentioned. So it's possible. It would be worth it to try! Basically the htc app automatically searches and paris contacts, based on names, emails, numbers, etc. them you are given a notification, and prompted with the suggestions and you can choose to link. This only happens on startup, so am app that could be called on at any time would be nice!

When on contacts screen, press menu> import/export> export to sdcard
Restore them whenever you flash a new ROM, don't tell if it wasn't what you were looking for

I know it has been a long time since this questioned has been asked, but I wanted to let people annoyed by this problem that I have made a free application that can backup and restore those joins. It can help those with mild OCD like myself.
It is called Total Backup and can be found in Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.softwareshack.totalbackup. If you happen to use it don't hesitate to write to me any bugs or features you may like. Feedback is very important to me.
As the screen shots below show when im using the contacts its fine (1 contact per name) but when i search for a specific person 6 or more contacts show up for that name. I wouldnt mind this but when i save a new number say from a text message and try to add it to the exsisting its like a guessing game which one to put it under because only 1 shows up under contacts normally. If i add it to the first one it says saved but then going into contacts its never there.

I have run into this. You more than likely have more than one account syncing your contact (google, samsung, verizon?) To get rid of the contacts (multiple) Sync them to only one account, delete all contacts, then resync. Hope this helps.

When you have multiple accounts syncing the phone can't always reconcile small differences. If you long press on a contact you can join it to another one manually. It's been something I've had to do since I let Facebook sync.
