All my contacts on my phone are setup through Facebook. I've either got the contacts through facebook or joined a number to facebook contact.
If i wipe my phone and lose all the contacts how can i make sure i backup and keep all the contacts. Much preferably a free app to do it
Thanks
If your phone is GSM, try backing it up through your similar card, if not try syncing with your gmail account.

I called T-Mobile to see if there's a way to save my contacts to my similar card and they couldn't help me, I can't find a option so if any one knows how to please tell me

There are a few apps that can backup your contacts to your sim card.

The sim card memory is very limited and name fields, etc. are very short. In the contacts app you can export them to your sd card. Also they are automatically backed up to your Google account online.
Title says it all. Any suggestions?

I keep my contacts synced with google so they are there as soon as I sync my google account to the phone.

Under contacts ,menu import/export choose export to Sim should make a exact copy of your phone book names it some **** like 001.v or a vcard something like that . Any way after flashing go back to contacts choose menu import from sdcard should search find the vcard and it will update your contacts

I have a lot of contacts synced with gmail, but most of them are emails and i don't need them in my phones contacts. How do i delete multiple contacts at once?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Don't remember if you can do a batch select (I've only done it once and for the same reason) but you need to log in to gmail from a computer and edit the contracts from there. Also I believe in contacts settings you can set it to show only contacts with phone numbers.

Like eb says using a computer you can edit the contacts. What I would do is setup groups and only sync the various groups with phone numbers.
Thanks guys, but i tried something else. I installed go contacts ex and then did a batch delete of all the contacts i don't want

Wait, couldn't you just have go into options on your phone and choose to hide e-mails?

Don't have that option. And i have one more problem. How do i sync all my Facebook contacts. When i was on gb and installed Facebook, the first screen would all if i wanted to sync all my contacts, sync with existing contracts, or don't sync at all. But now i don't see and can't find that screen

This works well for syncing fb contacts. You can choose all contacts or existing in the settings https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync

Open app drawer select People, then menu contacts to display, customize. Select your facebook account and it will show a box for all contacts if that isnt checked then it is only syncing with existing contacts. If you select your gmail account you will have the option to sync all the groups individually.
It says no contacts. There's no way to get to that screen on the Facebook app that asks how youwant to sync the contracts?

Clear all data log out and uninstall the app. Reboot your phone re-install the app. If that doesnt bring the option up then its go forever.
Maybe?

Found this. I haven't tried it since I'm at work doing a 24 hr shift. Figured I would let people know what I found. I plan to give a try after I get some sleep. If anyone gives it a go could you please let us know how it goes?

seems like restaurants I have saved in People are all doubled.
I tried to delete the doubles, People/Menu/Manage/de-duplicate.
It did delete a great many, but many restaurants are still duplicated; and the entries are exactly the same, near as I can tell.
Ideas?
I think you can go onto Gmail/ contacts and remove duplicates or type it in google and you'll get your answer.

Try a program called wondershare Mobile go . It will merge your duplicate contacts.

I should have been clearer. It's only affects contacts on phone. Gmail web mail contacts are all good no duplicates.

Wondershare mobilego is a free app you install it on your PC. It doesn't matter where the contacts are it will merge them. Even if they're on Google or your phone.

within People on the phone, one can select Menu/Manage Contacts/De-duplicate and more or less get the job done.
But the odd thing was is that there were dupes on the phone, but not on the google webmail/contacts tab. Nor OSX Address Book.
