In Gmail, I specifically have "My Contacts" with only the fewest contacts I regularly need. On GB and ICS ROMS with google contacts, this was shown by default. Now , the HTC Contacts shows them all as one big lump with 400 other contacts, with the option for a bunch of other useless empty groups. Annoying.
shouldn't this be in General Q&A instead of Theme and Apps...
Thought contacts was an app?

lol. good point, but it is a question.
Either way-- in the contact settings (where you choose which labels to view), have you tried deselecting all, then only selecting My Contacts?
That may be obvious, but I find their contact situation to be kinda frustrating as well.
Thanks ...but I don't even see "my contacts"...I guess that's the problem.

Open "contacts" app, click on top left where it probably says "phonebook," click the arrow next to "google," then click checkbox next to "google" to deselect all, then check only the "My Contacts" box.

Go to the phone app then hit contacts then menu then display options. Make sure appropriate accounts are selected and checkbox at top is what you want (phone number vs. no phone number) Maybe phone is filtering your contact list wrong?

Go to All Apps> People> Menu> View. You can choose which contacts show.
Also, within the facebook app, once you sign in, hit the menu key and go to settings. I thing theres a setting for contacts there also.
Thanks for the response but it didn't work

You can go to Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>All> Scroll down to Contacts storage, tap it once and select clear data. This will clear all of you contacts, so back them up first if you want to keep them for later use.
try settings>accounts & sync> fb> uncheck sync. then next time you log in on fb app click don't sync or only sync existing

same question here.
i have disabled facebook syncing from accounts (after linking my contacts) but still the pictures get updated once they are changed on facebook
remove the Facebook account from "Settings > Accounts & Sync" ?
Yes, remove facebook accounts from accounts and sync then restart phone. Check your contacts again if it still has the facebook photos of your contacts. You can add the facebook to your sync account after the problem corrects itself.
What I did is some work but I went manually into each contact that Facebook changed and choose "edit". Touch the picture on the top left corner and choose the Google account for picture source then save changes. I'm sure it changed all of Facebook contacts but I cared about only 6, who are in my Favorites...

The phone replaces Google contact pictures with Facebook ones when you make a certain change in "People". It also replaces Phone pictures with Google or Facebook ones. I'm not sure it does this when ANY change is made to People, or just a certain one (like changing an unrelated contact picture).
It's an annoying bug… I doubt it can be fixed properly :\
Thanks for your replies, deleting the Facebook account in Account & Sync doesnt work as when u run Facebook it asks you for your login info & then just recreates the account...Changing the pictures manually back to google photos works until a resync happens then they get replaced with google ones again...

This method works... as I had the same problem, the only problem is it takes time, if you have lots of contacts.

Hi!
Yes this is for real
I have ONE of my contacts (what i think is) Skype NUMBER, not her name just the number and i have 26 of them. Non of them are editable or erasable.
When i'm trying to text her i just get this number to text to. I can't add a picture to it, i can't remove it i can't do nothing to it... What has happened?
I'm getting crazy here, please help
I think that might help:
- go to your list of contacts
- press Menu button, then choose View
- uncheck Facebook contacts to be visible on your contact list
Let know if it helped.
Yes, now I don't have see the number in my contacts. But, when texting the contact still gives me this number and no contact pic.

I don't have stock rom on my Sensation right now but I'm guessing that you need to unsync Facebook contacts.
Try to go to Settings, then Accounts & Sync, find Facebook account, then uncheck Sync contacts (or in more extreme way - delete Facebook account from your mobile). I hope this will help you this time.

Hi, I did remove this contact of mine, restarted the device and added a new post for this contact and now is everything back to normal.
Thank you for the idea.

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.
