Before exporting backups to sdcard always remove the accounts from sync, so dat the email id's n social network contacts don't come along in ur contact backup
Its simple. Whenever you flash a new rom, after the rom boots, first turn off automatic sync option and keep it off forever. Now when you import your contacts from sd card your contacts will not get duplicated. If you log in your gmail account(you will have to do it for opening play store) and then if you turn on sync then your contacts that are stored in your gmail account will appear in your contacts list(which we don't want). So basically don't turn on automatic sync after logging in your gmail account.

I use MyPhoneExplorer to manage my contacts.
They get duplicated even when accounts synce is off.
Whatsapp is also the cause of duplicate contacts..
I had few contact which would get duplicated everytime I refresh whatsapp..
So what I did is deleted those contacts,and then added them back from whatsapp..
Now nothing gets duplicated.
Even my sim contacts get duplicated
But I don't use "What's App", then how did it get duplicated?

see wen eva u flash a rom and then flash gapps and make a account it automatically imports the contacts saved on ur account, so usually keep your sync off..
@harryhades : you too keep the sync of whatsapp off so dat the contacts dnt get duplicated with the one present in the system.
and as ehsan7 has shared the link (thanx ) use that it can delete all the contacts (i mean contacts with nos and email id's) :good:

So basicly my problem is this. I have my contacts saved on vCard on my SD card. I usually inport'em but sometimes when I flash with new ROM and I go contacts -> Import/Export -> Import from SD card it finds'em and imports'em but they are not visible in the contacts. I need to use apps like aContacts to use em. And when I edit contact, there is that "Google contact" with my e-mail under. Can someone tell me what to do. Anyone can help or advice me?
Thanks!
have u ever sync your contact with your google account? there will be some back up if you've done it in the past..or MAYBE you can import it to your google account and then sync it..if i'm not mistaken...
Import from google account vcard file on the web, and the phone should recognize it.
i had d same prob... i screwd my mind n time over this ****.....finally...i reinstalled my rom...wiped cache n dalvik cache....it ws fine den....nps til now
d prob s only dexter n khal roms work fyn wid our phne...if u try 2 experiment wid dis phne u ll get screwed
Ever since I got my TB, I realized that my Gmail doesn't sync correctly. I put contacts on my device and it does not show up on my contacts list in GMail. on my PC. What do I need to do?

an annoying feature of sense is that new contacts entered onto the phone dont get saved as gmail contacts but rather contacts saved in the internal memory of the phone. to change that either when u edit or make a new phontact there is an option to set the contact type and u gotta always select gmail. it doesnt default to it which is annoying thing to remember coming from an AOSP phone

Thanks for the Speedy quick response. I will try that right now. That "Link" icon that always pops up when booting from a wipe, Confuses the hec out of me. I always choose "Dismiss". I checked my contacts the other day and I had doubled what it was supposed to be and had to manually delete all the dups..Never had this issue w/DX..Guess am still learning Droid still..Thanks again..
edit..That worked. i had no idea that was the case. You're right..That's annoying and there's no way to make that "Google" option a default setting. That's just wrong considering goolge runs android..
Thanks ddar, for answering my question so forum moderator may delete this posting please. Thanks
Hello all.
Just bought a HTC Chacha.
I have transfered my contacts from my old phone to Chacha, but even though I have "Sync Contacts" enabled (Home->Settings->Data Sync->Google->Contacts) on the phone I don't see these contact details when I log into Gmail on my Win PC and click contacts???
I found the similar issue in this thread, and someone gave a explanation.

Hi guys...
Actually the problem is with the HTC... when u sync ur contacts 2 ur fone it downloads the contacts 4m gmail but not sync and stores in ur phone... if u wanna do so u need to export all the contacts to ur SD card n import back to the gmail... this syncs all the contacts to gmail including facebook, twitter n flicr links if any... these contacts are stored as other contacts in gmail... so after this if u add a contact in gmail n u want them to show in ur fone that shud be added in the other folder only... my contacts in gmail does not synced to fone...
All this **** kinda thing is entirely due to htc sync... in vanilla android all the contacts are in sync all the time automagically...
Apologies if this is confusing, coz I'm typing this on my fone...

Go to people tap Menu>Import/ Export, and choose to export the contacts to the SD card.
Go to people again, tap Menu>Import/ Export, and choose to import the contacts from the SD card, when the phone prompts you which type of contact you want to import choose “Google”.
Then sync. Now you have the phone contacts on your GMail account.

Actually it's not an issue of ChaCha, all Android phones work the same. I can confirm Galaxy S does the same (at least on 2.1-update1) which was my previous phone. Maybe you have already performed this on your Galaxy and forgot about it
On every Android phone you need to perform the steps I said above (Export contacts to SD card, Import from SD card as GMail contacts, sync).

Thank you Alex, I remind that I didn't import contacts from my old phone to Galaxy S.
Another guy transfer from Galaxy S to Chacha
I never had to do this ever, Google contacts always sync'd fine scores all my phones...

Yes, once you have them on the GMail server. But if you never had contacts there and only on your phone then you need to perform the steps above. (These steps are provided by Samsung and HTC).
Ah... Got you now, explains why! Thanks

SIM or Phone?
Thanks for the info above - I'm having the same problem. I am confused tho -
If I go in to 'People - All', this offers a relatively small list of contact names but if I go into 'People - Groups' then I can see all my labels from one of my gmail accounts which is a much larger number of contact names. Where is this 'People-All'? Is it on my SIM or the Phone or...?
ie if I want to export ONLY the contacts in 'People - All' onto my SD card, then do I need to choose to export from my 'Phone' or from my 'SIM'???
I am desperate to get this done as I want to print all these contacts off from my PC's gmail account. I'm going to be out of internet/Wifi contact for a while and I may need some of the telephone numbers urgently.
What I don't understand is how come all of the group labels I've created in 'People' now appear in my Gmail account but with only a few of the contacts.
If I've added contacts to People manually - have I added them to my SIM or my Phone or my SD...??
Thanks!!!
I dont know what i'm doing wrong but hoping someone can tell me. Whenever i save a contact I save it as a google contact. I store the number but if i flash a new rom I lose that contact I saved. I tried going into settings>accounts&sync and syncing all the accounts to see if it saved it but when I go on my pc and check my google contacts it doesnt appear. What am I doing wrong? Ive lost many numbers I needed....

I have the same problem and have solved it by backing up my contacts on both my phone and my google account and then restoring them after booting the new ROM. I also use the backup with the contact program and I use GO launcher as my "menu manager". I use the GO Backup tool as a third level of backup. Any other method from anyone else would be useful as it is bit of a messy solution. BUT it does stop me losing contacts. I have also used the Microsoft Outlook tool as yet another backup when I sync. Can't have too many backups when the gremlins are out get your contact list.
Anyone?
My contacts are in such a mess! I have them synced from google as well as the odd few from Exchange.
Google stopped syncing my contacts so I deleted the data from contacts storage which fixed that but now they are all merged or not existing.
I have removed google account and exchange but there are still contacts showing. I think these have been created internally from whatsapp which is annoying. Is there a way to delete all of these in bulk?
Or any other solutions to fix this?
First write correctly the title, seriously how people will know what is it about...
Then you have to solutions:
1st: sync all accounts you have then go to contacts > contacts to show > custom > select the one you want.
2nd: (this is what i do usually)
export all contacts on the phone
Backup the export
Delete all google contacts, everything on phone etc
Import them back in google contacts (https://www.google.com/contacts/)
search for duplicate in google contacts
rename them correctly
do the same with Exchange
Sync
clean the mess
delete useless contacts (like the pizza you ordered 4 years ago)
set up groups (like "i never phone them but i keep them in memory", "work", "favorite"
and then do the first solution to select the categories you want to show
The first 4 points are optionnal and if you do them PLEASE take care and be sure you have a BACKUP if you mess up everything
This will get your contacts clean and they will merge with all the differents accounts (like exchange+google+google plus+whatsapp etc)

Thanks - that makes sense. The dialler still shows 2 contacts even though in people and google website it shows 1!
As for the title I've no idea what happened! I must have typed in a special character or something that removed my title! Apologies!
