I manually added my contacts from my dump phone. didn't sync it. Now they are gone! Not in the phone app or people app. Where can I find them or save them permanently on my phone? Thanks.
you should download an app called InTouch APP and use that for contacts, alot more supportive, you might need to change the setting for showing contacts on sim maybe

I originally imported Gmail contacts last November but now I have a cleaned-up Gmail list. It would be easier to completely delete the gTab file and reimport, but I can't find how to so... nor can I find a likely suspect data file on the tablet. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Not sure but maybe you just have to remove your Gmail account and create it again. Probably it will sync the new contact list

Somehow it appears to me that the e-mail app is separate from the contacts app, and I haven't found anything clarifying what must be done to delete contact entries. There do not seem to be any controls to delete contact records one at a time or as a checklist ala File Expert. I was using the tablet mail app before I decided to experiment with the contacts list. I thought I might recognize a likely data but not yet.
On my phone it's under Settings -> Accounts & sync but I don't see any such option on my g tab. Maybe just not exposed in the older version of TNTLite I'm running. Worth a look...
Hi, I'm having a problems with contacts. When I go into phone, contacts in Google and those on the SDCard (symbol) appears. I only want to see contacts from Google. Although I have turned off SIM (192) and phone (0) and only left Google enabled under View, contacts from the SDCard continue to show. How do I find where these contacts are showing from and blow them away? Thanks.
I can't offer a direct solution but here's something for you to consider. I had an issue with duplicate contacts when I first came over from a blackberry. Because its a different phone with a different way of handling contacts, I found it best to take the time to consolidate all of my contacts, saved them in Google, and then deleted all other copies. So now, all of my contacts are Google only, and no longer have a duplicate issue.

hey guys I need two apps
1. An app that imports contacts that are on my google account or in a go contact vcf files and puts it in my S3 phone storage. Purpose, I want a hard secure back up of my contacts on my phone. Let's say for security reasons (theoretical) I don't want to sync with google servers at all
.I tried an import app or two from android market but I don't see it in any of the various phone apps as reading under my phone (ie dw contacts, go contacts). I have the contracts backed into google csv and a vcf file. How can I import and export it easily to my external sd card?
I would typically use go contacts on my bravo, but it bring up a reoccuring (and annoying) error message on S3s, but there doesn't seem to be a dialer out there that imports/exports contacts in a vcf/csv (i'm open format) and doesn't force you to sync to google servers?
So for instance under DW dialer If I check show phone...my contact list is empty, but if I check my gmail account it populated EVEN if I import the vcf from go contacts or the newly created google csv into my phone using an app like import contacts
Any recommendations appreciated
2. I don't use touchwiz and I'm not sure this is a feature for it, but what if I want to easily control the brightness on different apps on my phone. For instance I do most of my kindle reading in the dark, but it requires a good amount of backlight for it...moreso than say browsing or gaming. I know on my cousin's Nexus 7 he can do a 'two finger' up and down to control brightness. Is there a way I could get these apps to control brightness through an easy swipe and or have another app remember the brightness of individual apps?

Doesn't the stock contacts app (at least in CM9) already import/export vcf? It looks like it exports in version 2.1 whereas gmail exports in v3.0,
why don't you export your google contacts on your computer and transfer it to your sd card? or upload it and download it on your phone.
as for the brightness, if you want to root and mod/install custom roms you can have brightness controls through the status bar.

tech I played around with app all of last night, but I don't get it. It say it sets the lums by 'environment' That's a very general term. It doesn't seem to do it by app. I'm wondering if this is possible. I put on automation and then turned it off and set custom lums by app, but it just stuck to the last lum selected.
Any quick idea on what I'm missing here. I feel like its something simple. I read through the tutorial and setup multiple times
I tried to import my google contacts as csv but they don't show up in the phone.
I can't believe this isn't more in demand. To have a hard secure copy vcf/csv of your google contacts. I don't want to sync my personal info with google servers.
Hello,
There is a way to remove / hide the Contacts application from Huawei (I do not like it) to replace it with that of Google?
It is not possible to disable the Contacts application (such as the Phone application).
Thanks.
Not exactly sure what your asking, but if you go to Settings in the Contacts app you can decide which contacts to display and how to display them. Is that what you're looking for?

I only want to see contacts with a phone number
Hi,
I am looking for a simple way to manage the contacts on my Lineage 15 (Oreo) phone. Adding contacts is easy enough, but when I want to delete something, the mess starts. Trying to delete via the stock contacts app gets me messages of read-only entries and hide-only options. This sucks. I've read about people having to log in somewhere online to try and take control again of their run-away contact data. Seriously? I don't even have a gmail account, and my phone doesn't run any Google apps either. Still, it seems like I am not allowed to treat local data in a local manner.
I guess what I'm looking for is a way to delete a single contact in a single step. I don't want to have to delete three or four times, regular contacts, Whatsapp, Telegram etc. - if I entered it in one step, I want to delete it in one step. Isn't there an app for this? Or alternatively, is there an alternative contact app that I can use instead of the stock contact app and that will give me actual control over MY contacts on MY phone?
Thanks!
