Hi all,
I have just installed the CM9 alpha 8, everything seems to be good.
however, when i wanted to make a call; i will need to search for a contact in my phonebook which is linked to my gmail account.
But when i use the search function, the only thing showed up was "None found."
Is this a common glitch for this firmware?
I did some search but i didnt found anything in common. My previous rom and many other roms i have tried seems not to have this problem.
Any suggestion?
Thanks in advance
Search is case sensitive.. If the first letter in name is capital, use capitals and search.. Its a bug in the rom..

Cm9 contacts doesn't have a functionality for showing up just the sim contacts and hiding google contacts. also google contacts get double or even tripled if we sync contacts again and again.

Hi Guys,
i got a serious problem, i synced my contacts with google, now i got the problem, that i got every number like 5 times (all the same nr.) @ the contact list.
This is pretty annoying, because of this issue i got around ~4000 contacts saved..
Is there any app or so, that lets me just check/uncheck the contacts i want to delete so i can easily resort my contact list.
All the apps i found so far are only able to delete a single contact per task.
Thats a bit awful with ~4k contacts, thats why i ask you now
thx in Advance

Hey
really no one?
Bump ^^
thx in advance !
I'm calling shenanigans on the 4000. I just manually deleted my contacts. I found a multiple select contacts app so I could batch delete contacts.

Simple steps: make sure all your contacts are on Google, wipe data, login to Google, fixed!

Hello Guys,
thx for the responses.
I already did several wipes (installed different builds) but google automatically syncs all ~4k contacts to my mobile phone.
Maybe someone had this problem too and could solve it easier then delete every single contact alone.
regards

I had the same issue as you, syther.
I didn't think about looking for an app that would do that.
1) Go online (using GMail) to the Google account your phone is linked to.
2) On the left there should be a button called "contacts."
3) Click it and it should bring you to all your contacts that are synced to it.
4) Click the "more actions" button and go to "find & merge duplicates."
It won't merge all of the duplicates, but it'll merge most of the ones you have hopefully.
An example of a contact not merging would be
Joe-Bob (555-555-5555) and Joe-Bob (+1555-555-5555)
For that scenario I just went and deleted it manually through GMail to ensure it will never sync those contacts again.
Hopefully that will lessen the burden of deleting your contacts manually.

you will also want to create groups in Google's contacts. What you may have happening is the ton of random one time emial addresses that got saved.
I've created a "main" group that only has legitimate contacts and haven't had any issues since.
You can also export all of the contacts out of Google into a .csv file that you can open in excel and fix to your hearts desire.
Thank you !
I could´ve come on that idea on my on lol - most time, the simplest things you cant find hehe
awesome i solved it through gmail directly really thank you people!
Now I have three joined contacts for each contact. One is Google, the others are two phones. Each phone number has two numbers (from importing my contacts, apparently), one with dashes and one without. When I send a text message manually, it displays everyone's name three times - annoying since the text message display window is 3 panes long, so it is absolutely ruined.
I have NO IDEA how to do this anymore. How do I clear my contacts? How do I restart this whole nonsense? All I want is one contact. It always pulls my SIM contacts, as one. It pulls my Google contacts, as another. When I import/export them to my phone, that's a third. Why is Android so backwards!? Is there ANY solution to this? Does ANYONE know anything? Can someone PLEASE help!
Seriously, is this a section of XDA I should even be bothering with? No one seems to have any advice for this. Or even reply with a "this bothers me too" post!
Had same problem. 8of the same contacts linked. Goto Google account -contacts and select merge.
It should merge duplicates

Edit: you can either use card to back up.ie manually.or use Google for all.for card i suggest unchecking Google backup or same problem will occur. I'd just do Google for contacts
Any luck?

I am having a very strange issue.
I just loaded the leaked 2.2 Stock from Cellular South on my showcase.
Google voice search will not search my contacts.
when i say "send text message to bob testing 123" it does not work
except for on 1 contact!
I have searched around the web, I have found hundreds of post about the "contacts not being sync to google"
I know this is not the case, because i used google to sync them back to my phone.
I have tried:
uninstall/re-isntall
checked language settings settings
checked my sync settings in the accounts screen to make sure contacts are syncing.
You aren't alone. I have two Mesmerizes on USCC EB16 release that have the exact same problem. For now you just have to settle for that "Nuance" voice commands app that comes with the phone, I've not found any other fix.
Google voice commands have never worked on my Mes. No idea why and I've tried everything I could find to try. I'm pretty sure there's already a thread talking about this though.
Can you test something for me
I have found that if you delete the last name of your contact (do it in gmail contacts) and try and "send text to" but first name only. it works.
Can you test this theory for me?

So if I know 4 people named Joe I'm screwed? doesn't seem like a very usable fix to me.

I installed the nightly for cm11 from today hoping that I would have the dialer search feature that allows you to look up business phone numbers. The default dialer that comes with cm11 didn't seem to have this feature. When I did a google search I found out that you have to install a seperate dialer app with this capability. After installing the zip, the text box in the dialer said I could search for contacts or locations, but every attempt to search for a business didn't work. It only gave me contact results. Has anyone else had this issue?
