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.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
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.

I remember my old vibrant had that feature in the address book, i was able to add address, etc, etc, and birthdays!!
Now I have my galaxy s 4g on official gingerbread and it doesnt have that feature...
Did google strip this feature with firmware upgrades?
if so they are retarded. Its a very useful feature to have!

SIM only contacts can't. If it is saved as a phone contact you will be able too.

I use Go Contacts, adds all the info I want, and I backup to SDcard.
Alex, this phone is not a vibrant. I would suggest saving all of your contacts to the google servers and then you can adds whatever you want. Also, if you sync with Facebook, it handles most of that for you

if you have a clue how to help or some tips please do so... I just dont like how this whole forum is filled up with some loud mouth geeks who are too devoted to talking **** on people instead of helping out
here I fixed it on my own jerk offs!
This really shows how lame and selfish this website is becoming, you ask for help you get smart comments.
This is a reason why I didnt see the birthday option:
apparently if you have you phone book setting set to: (ask where to store a contact, by default) meaning when you want to create a contact it will ask you where to store him phone, google, sim, etc....... then it wont let you edit birthday.. it will let you view however birthdays you put for some contacts,,, but if you want to create a new contact and you want to add a bday.. then by default you contact setting should be (store contact to google)

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.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA
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

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?

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.
Sent from my DROIDX using xda app-developers app
OK. Probably a really stupid question and I expect some flaming, but, I have the one x and apparently many duplicate #'s for each contact. Why? And how do I get rid of this.
When I hold the contact # in text messages to call it asks me which # to call.... and they're all the same. One says mobile, history, etc...
Any thoughts
Delete each dupe. My thoughts are you got the phone and restored your contacts twice from two different sources I.e. Google backup and SIM contacts

Actually, HTC Sense allows you to pair numbers with the same name or number.

There's actually an option within the address book to remove duplicate entries.
From within people if you go to menu, manage contacts, you'll then have am option to de-duplicate contacts.

After restoring and/or wipes I had duplicates after sync, even after deleting still reappeared. The only way it worked was to go into my Google account on the computer and delete them from there...

Every time I flash a rom I seem to lose contacts that I saved. Weird thing is its not the entire phone book its the newer contacts. Any help would be appreciated..

they should be synced to your google account
Is there any way to see what's there or sync what I have currently? Forgive me for the dumb question..
Sent from my HTC One X using xda premium
Seriously, that's one of the main things with Android: it syncs all your stuff to Google. Your contacts ought to be restored every time you sign in after flashing. You must have syncing disabled in Settings if this isn't happening. Do it before you flash next time.
Went in settings and synced every option in my Google account.. Interesting that some contacts say Google and some say phone.. Thanks for the replies..

Best way to keep your contacts organized is to everything from the computer and then hit refresh on your phone, same thing with the calender i do it from the computer
You can also just use a an app such as titanium backup to backup your contacts and apps.

For reals?
It's a backup app that you can use to restore all of your applications after flashing. I have the paid version and sync all of my backups to my google drive. Probably the most useful app for a ROM flasher. You should check it out!
I haven't seen anyone do this but its my favorite and easiest method. I save all my contacts to a .vcf file on the root of my ad card by going to contacts/menu/manage contacts/export to phone storage. Then when I flash a Rom I immediately go to contacts/menu/import contacts. And it automatically looks for that .vcf file and flashes Ur contacts.

And whenever I add a New contact I just delete that file and re-export contacts to phone storage.

Just login to Gmail on your PC/Mac, and see if your contacts are there.
As long as the phone is set to sync to Google (Settings>Accounts & sync) it should be backing up your contacts to your Gmail account as default, no other actions required.
