I'm going to change phone in the near future so I've checked my gmail contacts to see if I had backup, but there where just mail contacts so I've forced the sync by the contacts settings in my galaxy s6 edge, now I can see my phone numbers in the Google contacts but they are erased from my phone , I can see them because in my contact settings I ve setted wiev all contacts but if I set phone contacts I see none, can I have them saved in both and use gmail just as backup? And if yes how?

Before I started to use Crapdroid, a friend of mine advised me to update my gmail contact list with my phonebook. That way works like a charm, it's best to think “cloud, then phone”. Factory reset? New ROM? No problem, just login to google and ready to go.
Cheers

I have Rooted my phone but now every time i sync contacts through google it adds more and more to it. I have one contact that is on my phone like 40 times now others are 20. I just want to be able to se the list my phone is gettting my contacts from and edit it all. I went to gmail but the only thing that was there were emails no phone numbers....
Ok my contacts just jumped by 250 and i havent added anyone. Where do i go to manually fix this because i dont have 1400 contacts....
Try this link, the page doesn't seem to be mobile friendly so you might want to try it from a PC.

When adding contacts to your phone you need to make sure you change the first option to sync with your Google account. For some reason it defaults to phone and if you don't switch it, it won't sync. It would be sweet if any of the devs could make a mod so it defaults to your Google account.

I'm guessing you have 460 phone contacts and 322 Google contacts on your phone.
Are you also syncing with your PC?
I would export your contacts to your sdcard (just in case) then delete all of your contacts and re-sync with Google.
I personally don't sync my contacts with Google.

Its syncing anyone who has sent you an email basically, there is a setting in gmail to change it but have to be logged in to full site via pc or mac or the phone's browser

duplicate contacts
i had duplicates upon duplicates for every number in my phone. for anyone else with this problem, and a google account, just sync all your contacts to your google account. go on your gmail from a computer. on the top left of the screen under "gmail by google" click on contacts. from there, click on "more actions" (right above the phone numbers) then click on "find and merge duplicates". then sync your contacts again and there you go, one phone number per contact! i hope this info is useful to someone else. i just wish i knew about this back in the good 'ol G1 days lol. but i guess thats what happens when cell phones replace computers ha!

Delete the contact
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
There are no other ways unless you delete those ````
In your contacts settings, there is an option to only display contacts with phone numbers or something along those lines.
Ah! Found it,... In your Contacts, go to Contacts Account. In there is an option for "Show contacts with phone numbers only" That should do the trick for you.
its very annoying, i really don't want all the email addresses i communicate with to be in my address book..
thanks for your help fellas
don't know what are you using for contacts, but on go contacts app you can go to menu/settings/contacts account and then mark show contacts with phone numbers only
KNOWN ISSUE FOR UCLC4 leak ONLY (CONFIRMED):
1- Add a new contact in phone and add it as "Google contact" to your gmail.com account entered in phone.
2- Force a sync now in settings > Accounts & Sync.
3- Login to your gmail. View contacts. Is the new contact in your Gmail contacts list?
METHOD 2 (DOES NOT FIX Sync issue but was my attempt to...):
1- Export contacts displayed in phone to vcf file on SD Card.
2- Wipe all contacts on phone, push sync. THIS WILL PUSH a delete sync to google contacts on server. Continue to confirm mass delete until it is completely sync'd and contacts are gone from servers.
3- Import VCF contacts to PHONE but NOT as GOOGLE contacts.
4- Perform Merge to google. Force a sync.
Does contacts appear in Gmail Contacts or Google contacts on server?
THIS IS A CONFIRMED ISSUE with ICS 4.0 UCLC4 leak!! FIXED IN UCLD2 leak!!
wow.... no one is getting new numbers to add to their phone huh?? interestingly small.....closed world.... lol

Thank you for responding. Anyone else? Just create a random number in your phone, force the sync on contacts.
Login to gmail . View contacts. Does that contact come up?
I don't talk to strangers why do I want their number in my phone?

Must not be a lady's man; or you're too young, or you're married and too old.
if you're old, but not too old; you must not do well with your coworkers outside of your job?
lol jk jk
confirmed issue on my end. ended up losing a friends contact info cause of it.
There is an option in the settings to merge contacts with google. Only i am not sure if that will merge everything with my google address book or not. Don't want to do that.
Confirmed the issue
I have saved contacts to a VCF file on external SD; imported as PHONE CONTACTS ONLY. Then cleared all my google contacts in gmail.
Then go back to my phone and perform a "MERGE WITH GOOGLE". Then force a sync. It does not push those contacts back to google servers. !!!
Any word on a fix or work around for this yet?

The only fix is to add contacts to phone, export phone-only contacts to VCard. Import to google contacts in web browser. Force sync. Google server will push it out back to phone and keep it in gmail servers.
This is truly kind of annoying.. Lost a girl's number cause of this. Lucky she stalked me otherwise I could have been SOL.
Is anyone working on a solution not workaround to this?

I wish I would have read this before. I lost like 80 contacts!!!
Oh mama...
And i was about to install one of the new ROMS.
I am shocked nobody notice this till now. I add one of two contacts a day.
Hit the THANKS if this helped ya, then maybe a MOD will see this and make it a sticky? cuz this is probably the #1 biggest bug in ICS for our phones LOL

If you take a look at my ICS 4.0 bugs & quirks thread; you will see that ANY change on google WEB... WILL push back to phone. But new contact / number in PHONE will NOT push back to google web / servers.
This is what i found so far. Okay well hope this helps someone to find a fix...
1. create new contact in phone, wont sync with google account.
2. create new contact on line (google account), syncs with phone
3. Edit existing contacts in phone, all edits to contact made in the phone will sync with google account.
So if you have an existing contact and and you edit any fields from the phone, the changes will sync up with your google account. Only new contacts created in the phone will not sync.
Does saving to the contact to phone then doing a merge work? This is a shame.
there is a contacks.apk that works. unfortunately I can't do any manual dialing after. in the themes and apps section there is a thread on inverted apps. I am going to look to see if I can get the corresponding phone.apk to see if that works. but I did save a contact and the addition was pushed to google.
When I choose which contacts to display the phone doesn't seem to save them. I just want the phone to display my contacts from my Google account. I choose my Google account and press OK. Then when I go back to the contacts screen my Google contacts are showing. When I leave the contacts page and go back in, it displays all my contacts from all the accounts I have on the phone. I then have to repeat the process again.
If I choose Contacts to display > Customize > the choose my Google account, the contacts appear, but once I leave the contacts page and return all the contacts from all my accounts are showing. The accounts I have are WhatsApp, Corporate and Google.
I am using the Go Launcher and I am rooted. Can anyone help?
Can anyone help with this?
I am trying to display only the contacts with phone numbers. When I customise the contacts to display it works, but once i close the contacts and open it again it displays all the conatcts from all accounts.

Tap on Whatsapp for example and see if you have a line for contacts sync. If yes, disable!

I have disabled the contact sync on the Whatsapp account and on the Corporate account, but the problem still occurs.
I have gone into the contacts app > accounts and turned off auto-sync app data, but that does not work either.
No matter what accounts I choose to display, it always defaults back to All contacts.

Deleting Whatsapp and Corporate contacts from Contacts app should solve it.
(actually this is the procedure to remove Facebook contacts)

Sorry for being stupid, but how do I remove these accounts from the Contacts app? When I try to remove the account from the settings menu I got the following message: "Removing this account will delete all of its messages, contacts and other data from the phone".
I don't want to remove the contacts from my phone. I just want them to not display on the contacts app. You could do this easily on the Galaxy S2.
Thanks for your help.

I've installed Whatsapp (I don't use it) and Contacts are linked to Contacts app so you can't delete them.
Maybe the app resets the custom display when you close it

That is what seems to be happening. The contact app seems to resetting my custom display whenever I close it. Then it will show the contacts from all of my accounts on the phone.

I now have Whatsapp so I was able to make some tests and on my end the Contact app keeps my choice and only displays my Whatsapp contacts in the list, even after leaving the app.
Try to clear all data of your data.
I have deleted the data from the Contacts app and the Contacts storage app in the Settings of the phone. The phone now displays contacts from my Google account and Whatsapp account, but it still resets to show All contacts when the app is closed even when I choose which account to display.
What I have now is better than what I previously had as it does not display the contacts from my corporate account, so I am grateful for that.
I tried a factory reset to fix this, but it still didn't work correctly. I also noticed that all of my contacts were joined to other contacts. I've had to go into each contact manually and separate them and then join them back to the correct contact. A major hassle. I've never had this problem before.
I know this is an old thread, but I found the same problem today and I think it could be useful for people facing this issue.
The problem is the Go Launcher contacts icon on the dock. If you replace it with the contacts app it will remember your contacts to display preference.
It seems to be some difference between Go Launcher's phone and contacts and the system phone and contacts apps.
I just noticed something odd. So yesterday, I imported all my contacts from google, and use SMS Back up Restore and Call Log backup and restore. all my texts/calls are back in my new phone, which is nice. I noticed something odd with contacts though.
Not everybody is showing up. I had my old phone synced to google. The weird thing is, I think the contacts ARE in the phone, but not showing up. Today, my friend Eric texted me. His name showed up and everything, so I assumed the contact was in the phone. I went to my contacts app and looked at the list of contacts, and he wasn't showing up! When I go to the text message he gave me and clicked on his picture, I could see his contact details! But the contact isn't showing up in the app. Anyone know what to do about this?
Under contacts, Filter > Display Contacts. I had to select my gmail accounts and make sure all the checkboxes for the groups were selected. By default it seems they were not so as with you some of my contacts were missing.
Hope this helps.

Thanks, but it looks like certain contacts on my old phone weren't saved as Google contacts. I thought that having google sync on would make it so all of my device contacts would sync to my google account. Apparently, that didn't work. Oh well. At least this phone defaults new contacts to google. Whenever I would add a contact on my S4, I'd have to change it from device to Google. Frustrating as hell
