Hi guys, I took the time this past weekend to reallu clean and sort my contacts on gmail. Now it works greay, but I still have an issue as there are lots of contacts that still have unknown and phone contacts joined to them, so when i try to join some twitter or fb contact I can't because of the 5 contacts joined limit.
How can I easily remove al conravts from the phone.
The ideal case would be just google contacts with their twitter and fb joined...
Thanks!

easiest way is to sign in to gmail.com and select all and delete from there
thanks great help
when i'm signed into HTC Sense, are my contacts automatically synced to HTC sense? If not, how can I back them up using my gmail or google?

You should have a google account to use the phone....so...turn on sync and go into settings>accounts and sync and make sure its syncing your contacts....log in on a PC to gmail and check there to double check.....
It's a tablet dammit! Not a BIG phone....
you can just export your contacts to your sd. its better that way, its crazy syncd with gmail and now, in my gmail account, there are 4x the contacts I have. contacts multiplied. i don't know why. @[email protected] and its gonna be sad to have 2k of contacts jump in to your phone
I've always sync'd to gmail/google since my my first android phone in '09 (G1), never had duplicate contacts and never had to do a backup/restore.

I have used sync with MS exchange- works good, but yet have troubles add Skype contacts into exchange.
There is no problem with syncing to Google. Only you must never, really never, restore contacts from a backup. You should only use Google Contacts or a backup, never both. When you restore a backup, you will get duplicates. Been there, with only a small number of contacts luckily, and besides this, never had a problem.

Agreed! I have T-Mobile, and the first thing I do when I get a new phone, after signing into my Google account, is uncheck the damn T-Mobile backup in Accounts & Sync. Of course, once you root, you can say goodbye to that, but in the meantime...

So thats why. lol. before I was using the contacts in my google account as I was using a different phone. now as i am just exporting/importing my contacts from sd card.
So to export your contacts to your sd card, just go to "contacts" and go to options, you should see a "import/export" contacts. just select the export to SD card. then, give it a name and save. to import your contacts, just go to contacts and select "import from sd(or external - forgot the name)"

Wait. Are *all* of your contacts already in Google contacts (on the web in Gmail, not on your phone)? If they are, there is no need to backup your contacts prior to flashing a new ROM, doing a full wipe, etc. In fact, I don't recommend that. So...if all of your contacts (or other Google data like calendar and gmail) are in google/gmail contacts on the web, skip their backup. Then, after you wipe your phone and flash whatever you're flashing, just sign into your Google account, and your contacts and any other data on Google severs will automatically be downloaded (and then set up for 2-way sync) without your needing to do any thing further.
Does that make sense?

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
Hi to all, I have a strange problem with my htc pico.
As I'm running a non-root phone, obviously I was out of memory to install much apps after 1+months of using. At manage applications, I saw that contacts was eating 23MB space. I went to contacts and saw there was 1000+ contacts from my Facebook and Google account and I had around 200 (real) contacts in my SIM. It was clear to me that the email, pictures, facebook status etc of those online contacts eating up that much space and I needed to clear those. Those online linked contacts are of no use to me in my phone.
I force stopped contacts and deleted the data from manage applications and gained the free space it was blocking. I was happy to gain space.
Now when I came back to contacts, I see all those Facebook and Google contacts are there, just they lost their associated avatar, facebook status, etc.
Surprised and shocked to see that all the sim contacts are deleted.
WT* how SIM contacts be deleted if I'm clearing phone memory??
Is there any app(free) that can undelete SIM contacts.
I have contacts backup in the microSD which I backed up using my last samsung phone. I opened the backup folder and there is 230 <contact_name>.vcf files. Can I somehow select all and import back to the SIMcard by any app(free).
In the worst case it can't be solved by android, I have to ask some friend for samsung phone and insert my SIM and microSD there and restore contacts and then shout out loud "Android Sucks" .
TIA.
U have backup in a sd-card so just restore
Remember the format of backup should be in vcf format....

I have format in vcf. But if I click it in file manager, the popup shows reading "reading vcard file...". But doesn't gives me option to save the contact to phone or sim. After reading, popup vanishes and in contacts I cannot see any new contact in phone or SIM.
Somehow I need to restore all those contacts to my SIM card and not in phone(who knows when phone deads).
Meantime I have manually saved few contacts to phone. Now where's the option like this "contacts settings"->"move contacts from phone to sim"-->"select all " as we see in Nokia/Samsung non-android phones.
It's great fun but also hard to be in android after years of using Nokia-1600 category phones.
Well in cm9 there's no option of importing contacts to sim u need to go back to sense based rom
And regarding vcf error use some contact application from playstore

Thanks for the tip. I should have searched for contacts app from playstore.
My software isn't cm9. It's software number 1.31.720.3 with htc sense version 3.5 and android 2.3.5 . By unrooted phone I meant I didn't root it and I've planned to root and install roms after warranty expires.
I found a move option in contacts, but that's for moving phone contacts to google account.
Fortunately my problem resolved after I restarted the phone. Now contacts got 229 from SIM and 0 from phone, facebook,google. I think some cache problem was causing me all these trouble which got washed off on reboot. The call history is also empty now, I guess I've deleted that too.
I've stopped sync contacts in sync settings for facebook and gogole.
Hello everybody..
I'm suing the stock contacts app, and I can merge (and sync) people's names and phone numbers with other contact info and their fb profile, whatsapp, etc.. And it'cool until I touch anyone of these apps or restore the system, I go back to scratch, and backing up contacts only backs up phone numbers.
Is there any way or contacts app that can do this but keep everything togeather within the app, apart from other apps like fb and twitter, and hopefully can back up and restore?
Thanks in advance
