Actually I would often change the roms.. So every time I login to the Google account the contacts get syncd... The contacts list of my phone is only around 300.. But because of the account sync my contacts have exceeded 1500.. Each contact has around 5 copies.. It's really annoying to delete each contact.. Any way to make it easy..??

With this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.makelifesimple.contactsutility
You can do it with the free features (I think)
Also in google contacts page https://www.google.com/contacts/u/0/ more>find &merge duplicates
Go to people > more > De-Duplicate. It'll delete all the extra copies..

I have an issue with knowing 2 people with the same name (spelled the same)...so my n1 recognizes them both as 1 person with 2 facebook accounts and different phone numbers, 2 different birthdays, etc...is there anyway i can separate the 2????
Updated my phone to 2.3.4. And few days later I notice that I have a phone number in my contacts its repeated about 500 to 1000 times and when I try to edit it doesn't giveme the option to delete. Its not part ofmy Google contacts its somehow I guess in the phone memory. How would I go about removing it? Any ideas

backup all of your contacts to something like google or outlook.
go to Settings>Applications>All>Contacts Storage & clear all data.
********CAUTION********** It will wipe all of your contacts on the phone.
Do that. Go to your backed up contacts & edit out what you don't want & then import back to phone.
Thanks, I ended up rooting the phone and installing revolution ROM , I'm happy with the result.

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...

I think you have one copy in phone and one under google account
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.

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.
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.
