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?

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?

You can use gmail sync in your settings to put your contacts in your phonebook.

That's the best option right there. Assuming you have been keeping your gmail contact list nice and clean.

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

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.

I have 4 email accounts and they all sync 'ed perfectly until this week. Something must have updated, but I cant figure out what. All accounts are POP. Twice, my Gmail and Yahoo email accounts marked 25 emails as Unread. They each are set to load 25 messages, I re-read them and they get set to "read" until I Sync then they get set back to "unread". I deleted the Yahoo email acct & recreated it, and that fixed it, until tonight when it happened again, my unread count is 50 again. I rebooted out of desperation, but I'm still at 50 unread emails. Any ideas?
I sold my iPad for the SGN which was the best techie decision I made in a long time-but that means my support network is not helpful anymore! If the answer to every question is "Buy a Mac/ IPad" I'm going to scream! <sorry for Venting>

Check your tablet email program settings. That's what was wrong when I had a similar issue.
Do you remember the setting you changed to resolve the problem when you had it? The settings on mine look ok and I haven't change anything for a while. Thx.

Updates change settings without meaning to. What client are you using?
The app info says "email 4.0". I looked at all the settings for both Yahoo and Gmail. Didn't see anything odd.

I have searched all over the forums and I cannot find anything about this. I made a google plus account the other day and after I made it I went to my gallery and there were backups of all my pictures and I don't want them there. I've tried just about everything from going into the app and seeing if there were any options to stop it, from going into my phones settings. I can't seem to find where to turn this off at, it's really getting on my nerves because I want them gone and I can't just delete them! Thanks in advance!
Did you rush through the installation of Google plus? There's an option to sync pictures and stuff I think.

I saw that and I unchecked it and still they won't go away.
If I remember correctly you have to login to your Google account settings and then uncheck from there but it has been a long time since I turned mine off.

I went to an app that was called google settings and I went to camera & photos and turned off auto backup that's the only thing that I can think to do. I went back and still no dice the photos are still there.
This is the image from my phone showing the pictures. You can see that there is the one folder that is named camera. The other ones are the backup photos can't be deleted.
That's Picasa back ups. Go into settings, under Accounts select Google. Then at the top it should show your Gmail account and when it synced last, tap it. Then scroll down and uncheck Sync Picasa Web Albums. That will stop it adding any more. To get rid of the ones already there I THINK you clear data/cache for the gallery app... But it's been awhile since I did it. I just remember it took me forever to get rid of them... I didn't need over 1000 pics backed up twice.
