Hi guys, I took the time this past weekend to reallu clean and sort my contacts on gmail. Now it works greay, but I still have an issue as there are lots of contacts that still have unknown and phone contacts joined to them, so when i try to join some twitter or fb contact I can't because of the 5 contacts joined limit.
How can I easily remove al conravts from the phone.
The ideal case would be just google contacts with their twitter and fb joined...
Thanks!

easiest way is to sign in to gmail.com and select all and delete from there
thanks great help
All my contacts on my phone are setup through Facebook. I've either got the contacts through facebook or joined a number to facebook contact.
If i wipe my phone and lose all the contacts how can i make sure i backup and keep all the contacts. Much preferably a free app to do it
Thanks
If your phone is GSM, try backing it up through your similar card, if not try syncing with your gmail account.

Obviously, the Contacts app is very important but the default contacts app misses two features that my LG Renoir used to have.
First, I could place Contacts into different categories that I create (Friends, business, VIP, etc). I can then search or browse contacts by category.
Second, I could choose to block calls from a selected category and send those calls directly to voicemail.
On my LG Renoir this was very valuable to me. If I am out at night with friends, I could have all my Business Category contacts go directly to voicemail without ringing my G2X.
Can anyone please recommend a Contacts app to me that has these features???
Contapps is one that comes to mind. A more mature, less cutesy app would be Smartr by Xobni which works best if paired with the gmail app you can install through your browser. Both can connect with various social networks and bring in contacts from various places.
Thanks. BTW I absolutely do not want to connect my contacts list to social networking and I don't sync my info with Google. Privacy, etc...
Have tried "Go Contacts?" Works well for me.

Does Go Contacts let me put contacts into categories?
Can I choose to send some contact categories straight to voicemail?
Check out RocketDial, it should do the trick especially if you need call filtering.
Hello, I've spent the last hour linking my Google Contacts with Facebook. So i think, i don't wanna do this again next time I flash new rom or change phone. So is it possible to make some kind of backup that will remember what contacts where linked.
If not, is there an app that can rename all my Google Contacts according to the names of the linked Facebook account.
Are you using a HTC phone with a Sense ROM? If you are, then the People app in Sense adds a tag to each contact once you link it. Using this it automatically restores Facebook link when you factory reset/flash a new ROM. To confirm that it added those tags for you, open a contact and look under the 'Notes' section. Also log into your Gmail account on a computer, open a few random linked contacts and see if this tag is there under 'Notes'. If it's there, it's backed up with Google contacts and when you restore the contacts to the phone, it'll automatically link them after signing into Facebook.

i wish i could help man, i want to do the same thing too
Unfortunately, I don't think it is really possible as these are two separate sets of contacts. The best way to alleviate some of the hassle is to transfer some of the data over, as in, transfer the facebook info into your Google contacts.
Facebook info is not editable as it is stored on their sore and merely linked to it. Ubuntu One os working on their contact management which would slow for this as it syncs facebook, Google and any other services to you ubuntu account then would sync to your mobile.

I've added all the email address of my friends to my Google contacts. I manually did this one day on my computer, copy pasting email addresses from Facebook to Google contacts. Since then I've never had this problem. Facebook automatically identifies my contacts through their email ID and links them. It's a time consuming process, but you'll only need to do it once and for every new contact that you add.

Well i'm hardly a developer, but if it possible to access to contacts joined contacts from the android API, and if we build an application that would read information from facebook(with permission, like all FB apps) then i guess it would be possible to store lets say profile id from fb to google contacts notes, and then with the same app, you would be able to join them again in case of new phone/new rom.
Would you say thats possible? Would anyone try to build that?
I think i will try to make something like that after I finish the college year.
HTC has a feature like that, as was mentioned. So it's possible. It would be worth it to try! Basically the htc app automatically searches and paris contacts, based on names, emails, numbers, etc. them you are given a notification, and prompted with the suggestions and you can choose to link. This only happens on startup, so am app that could be called on at any time would be nice!

When on contacts screen, press menu> import/export> export to sdcard
Restore them whenever you flash a new ROM, don't tell if it wasn't what you were looking for

I know it has been a long time since this questioned has been asked, but I wanted to let people annoyed by this problem that I have made a free application that can backup and restore those joins. It can help those with mild OCD like myself.
It is called Total Backup and can be found in Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.softwareshack.totalbackup. If you happen to use it don't hesitate to write to me any bugs or features you may like. Feedback is very important to me.
Hi, i would like to make two accounts for twitter. One for business and the other for personal and have them separate from one another, is that allowed?
Also i just made a personal account on my android phone using the official twitter app. My problem is that twitter accessed my phone contacts and it showed me my personal and business contacts on twitter, which i can not have it do. If it shows me both types of people business and personal, because i have their phone numbers stored then when someone in my address book signs up to twitter and syncs with contacts both my business and personal accounts will show up too. I do not want this to happen.
Is there a solution for me to not show up on other peoples twitter accounts using the synced contacts feature available on Android apps?
