Anyone know of a straight-forward Phone/Address Book one can simply enter addresses that is compatible with our GTab 7+? Doesn't need to synch with anything...other than perhaps sort alphabetically by last name. That's all. Just an address book. The Contacts app on the tab works but....eh.
thanks
It might be more than you're looking for, but have you taken a look at Go Contacts?

I'm trying to short through all my contacts. Put them in groups and all that good stuff.
I have all my gmail contacts in my phone, all ungrouped.I read that setting up the att address book helps with this problem. Only for the life of me I can't seem to set it up. I even found the user guide online. It says that when you first click on contacts that it should ask you for this n that. I don' recall doing any of that. Doesn't say anything on how to get back to it if you didn't do it the first time.
So, would someone help this no0b out please.
If there is a better way that I don't have to go through AT&T to get my contacts in groups please let me know.
Thank you.
Go into your contact list and click the Menu button, More, Settings, AT&T address book, click OK.
then go to att.com/addressbook. Register for a MEdia account if you don't have one. Then you can sign in and see them. The phone should automatically throw your contacts up on there, then you just have to organize them.
Or you can get on your computer, log into your Gmail account, select "Contacts," and use that interface to place them into groups.
It is very easy to do. You just need to look around the screen for the control buttons as they aren't always where you expect them. The benefit to doing this is that the interface is on your computer and easy to use.
Don't have any experience with the ATT contacts app.... I deleted EVERYTHING I could that was proprietary ATT as most of that stuff costs more money and much of it doesn't work as well as the stock apps anyway!

That doesn't seem to work.
This is what I have for my brother.
Groups: Starred in Android, Family (taken from my gmail contact)
I have zero contacts in my Family group.
I have round 1,200 contacts on my exchange server
For quite a number of friends I saved only the first name. And this @&%^# contact app from Samsung joins all the people who have the same first name (When nop last name is saved). How convenient...
I "could" go trough all my contacts and split them. But it's slow. And every time I flash a new ROM and charge my contacts through exchange they get agregated again
Is there a settting somewhere where we can prevent the application from merging contacts ? Or if keeps on doing so, is it possible to have it save the fact you split the contacts somewhere on my exchnage account (So that it doesn't do it again the next time I reload everything...)
Or maybe some of you have already settled for another Contact manager app
It's super annoying
Anyone?

dont know the answer but writing this to wish you luck i have 120 contacts and it was a real pain to put it in order 1200 contacts i cant imagine
Isn't it confusing anyway having multiple contacts with the exact same name? How do you know which is which?
I make sure all my contacts have either a last name, or some differentiating text at least.
There's no way to stop the app doing it automatically, the only options are to either clean up your contact entries at the GMail end, or use a different contacts app.

I use exchange but yeah I get what you mean by "clean up your contact entries at the GMail end"
How do I differentiate ? The good stuff with smartphone sis we can include pictures... Same first name different picture --> fastest way to differentiate for me. However the stupid app merges the contacts and put the pic of the first contact --> I am lost
Honestly, not having the option is a shame. That's a bad application. At the very least it should allow you to choose to merge automatically or not. At best it should leave you the choice of the aggregation key (Which filelds make a contact unique)
That sucks badly... very poor level of programming...
Actually i was wrong. This crappy piece of software also sometimes joins contacts that have a last name... I don't know what to say. I don't understand why there is no option to decide the key of oining contacts (Or simply disable it...)
I've always been a confused, badly organized guy, and my head is one big chaotic mess. Since I wont carry a paper agenda all the time, I've recently bought a smartphone (SGS2), mainly to keep things organized and structured.
The problem is, for each task there's a different app. Now I've got a zillion apps, and I wonder if that's the best way to structure/organize things.
I currently use on my android phone:
- Jorte Calender synched with Google Calender.
- Dropbox to sync files between different platforms
- Evernote for my journal/notes/to-do list.
- QuickPic to view my pictures (normal pictures and pictures of paper documents) and video's.
- Opera is my main browser and I use the build-in bookmarker. The bookmarks are synched between my phone and my pc.
- Build in sms/contact Touchwiz app for my contacts
- Gmail app for my mail and mail addresses.
- etc
I want to reduce the number of apps to get things done easier and faster. You guys know any all-in-one apps that are capable of many of the listed tasks? Or could you explain how you structure things?
EDIT: Sometimes I don't even know what app I should use for certain things.
For example: I'd like to make a list with my favorite movies. Should I do this with evernote?
Or: I've got something scheduled and used my calender app for that, but I also need to make a few notes about that appointment. Do I use my calendar, or a notebook app like evernote?
Thanks in advance.

What do you guys suggest?
I would just use evernote for everything! Why do you make such a mess with apps? Just get used to ONE app, and you should be fine
There is as of now, no "multi-app" that can do ALL of your tasks. Unfortunatly, I think you'll have to use the apps the way you already are. Unless you want to root your phone, and install a custom ROM that has some sort of "multi-app"
What is the best way for me to go through and organize my contacts for my Google account?
My list is so sloppy and looks bad with duplicates, some several duplicates. I know sometimes in the past I would attempt it just with manually deleting and checking all names/numbers and I would often get some sort of message saying I couldn't delete this contact for some reason(I forgot what the reason it said was).
I would prefer to edit this list on my PC, but if this easier done with some sort of app then I'm down. I also want my new organized list to sync across all my devices that sync contacts from my google account.

On the website (https://contacts.google.com) you can identify duplicates.
You can also export your contacts on your PC (CSV or vCard format).
And you can pretty simply merge duplicates so that if, for example, one has a landline number, a second has a mobile, a third has an address, etc., you can put them all in a single entry with a mouse click.
I was in your position a few months ago and it took me about half an hour to whip my contacts list into shape.
I exclusively use contacts from my gmail/Google account. I never ever have them on the phone or the sim. In case I lose or break or change the phone, I never lose a contact and never have to re-enter them. I'm very OCD about things like that and being able to sit at my PC and standardize all contacts is worth a ton to me. Using the above cited Google contacts link is my preferred method.
Hi all,
Which one of the password managers syncs bookmarks as well ? I do not want to use google chrome on my all devices and looking for a solution to sync my passwords & bookmarks. (I will lose tab sync feature but...)
I found similar threads but they do not cover my question completely. Wanted to open a new thread for this, may help others as well. Hope you do not mind.
