I've done a bunch of searching and can't find the answer for this phone.
Does anyone know how we can select just "My Contacts" instead of "All Contacts" with regards to syncing the Google contact list?
There's gotta be a way. I'm going to check the option to only show contacts with phone numbers but frankly, that option kind of sucks. There should be a better way to do this.
i have the same issue and can't find any setting to sync only My Contacts.
What is even more annoying is that it does not sync the groups i have set in google contacts

I can't find any options to add groups or add contacts to groups. I have only 2 groups listed - google and corporate with no options.
I think Touchwiz completely borked groups.
Yeah, it seems to be a problem with touchwiz because my buddy who's got an EVO has the option available.
Yeah, this is probably the only thing on the Captivate that I haven't been able to fix. It syncs every random Google contact I have, whereas other Android phones I've had would only sync the "My Contacts" group.
You can set contacts to only display people with numbers, if that helps.
You can create groups. Open Contacts then hit menu, create. Then when you open the group there will be an add member on the screen. For existing groups with members, you have to hit menu and then add member to add more.
The other thing is that I keep losing contacts randomly.
I don't understand why this is happening, it's quite frustrating

I still can't follow;
I open contacts and hit create and I get an overlay "save contact to" with 4 choices:
Phone
Sim
Corporate
Google
Only if i choose phone and scroll to the bottom is there an group field (shows unassigned).
EDIT - if i select the group i go to an empty box, but i can hit menu and create a group. Unfortunately every group or contact I create assigned to phone (not corp or google) becomes hidden. If I try to create group with the same name, it says it exists. Trying to create a new contact in "phone" still gives me empty group list.
So TouchWiz is hiding some stuff/data in the interface. Very bizarre.

I forget a step, sorry. You have to select groups after opening contacts.
I used the free AT&T Address Book feature on this phone to create all my contacts on the phone. I then have them linked to my Corporate contacts, Gmail and Facebook. This allows me to assign custom ringtones and manage my contacts using all the features of the phone.
To use the AT&T Address I had to export my contacts from Outlook to a CSV file. I then imported them via the AT&T website (addressbook.att.net). Now I have all my contacts as phone contacts and no longer have the SNS restrictions.
Is there any way to use the AOSP contact app to change or add a contact to a group?
I have the app GoContacts. I want to be able to group my Facebook contacts if that's possible. Also I can never group my other contacts all at once. When I check the ones that I want to group, it says "success" but some of them don't show up in the group and I have to go to their contact info and put them into the group manually.
Hello, frequently I recieved sms from certain companies (google calendar notifications, my home banking, my football club, etc) and these sms came already with name of the sender and they are not in my contact list.
How can I add an image to these contacts?!
I've manually add Google as an contact and put the Google's logo but the avatar doesn't appear in the hangouts.

the messages you are getting are different sms... not like others i guess... like we get for promotional ads... they automatically have name in them.. and you can't see there no so you can't save them... and i guess you just can't apply picture to them..

The way I did it it, for example Google Calendar, added Google Calendar to contacts in gmail using +148368 as the mobile phone number and then changed the photo to one of a calendar (or whatever). Then I followed Google Calendar on G+, I also on the Google Calendar G+ page added that same number (+148368) not sure if you need to do the last step or even if you have to follow on G+ but there was a delay on it changing on hangout so I'm not quite sure if you have to follow. Sometime adding the +1 to the phone number is what works, and sometimes you just need to use the short code, for example US Bank uses a short code of 872265 and I didn't need to add the +1 for that. So for example Twitter, you need to use +140404 and if you already follow Twitter on G+ the avatar will also show up in gmail contacts. The whole think is convoluted but it finally is working for me except Google Voice sent sms.
Hello,
Until 3 days ago i have been using whatsapp as my main IM app on a nexus 5x. I have switched to telegram and kept whatsapp also, and i have a problem related to direct share of links to contacts.
I cannot remove whatsapp as my main direct share app, so whenever i share something, whatsapp contacts appear first, although i am using telegram more frequently, and i want telegram contacts to appear first. I thought it will override somehow whatsapp contacts, but that does not happen. The only solution is to uninstall whatsapp, but i dont wanna do this.
So, any idea?
Thanks!
