When inserting address in GOOGLE contacts app, you just type in a single line (part of) the address and the apps queries Google Maps to let you choose the address. Any way to enable something similar for SAMSUNG contacts app?
Any idea here, pls?
Samsung contact app is not that sofesticated. but if you add a post code or any part of the address manually then a map button allows you to use activate the default map app.
Maybe use Google contact to fill contact address and then swap to Samsung as default
Or just use Google Contacts which is the better app. I tried using all Samsung apps and found it to be too much of a compromise.
I use Samsung Notes and My Files, the rest are google apps. It sucks but it's the price you pay for owning a Samsung device.

Unfortunately using Google Phone or Contacts on Samsung is annoying if you have dual sim: Samsung allows three choices-
- sim 1
- sim 2
- always ask
I chose always ask because I need control yet when calling a contact for the first time, you are asked which sim to use but there's no way to set a default sim upon this first call: on my former pixel I had an option to check "always use this sim", which is missing on Samsung.
In Samsung contacts there's a handy feature to assign in batch a default sim for chosen numbers, in Google contacts you have to do this contact by contact.
Update: never mind, all of a sudden the option to set default calling sim is now present when I call this contact for the first time...
And also Google Messages behaves strange: when selecting a contact for the first time as destination , I am prompted with two numbers from this contacts, same numbers but one with space and one without

Thank you for clear instructions. I use ICS and there is no option to store contacts other using Google account. When I create a new contact there is only google account option .Is there any option to override this setting if I would like to save new contacts to sim card or other contacts account. Google starts to be funny
Thanks

What I did to remove the google account was as follows,
After connecting to the Wi-Fi network and accepting the terms, get to where the account is requested,
At that point just press the home key 3 times fast and the talkbak is activated ..
The next thing is to enter the talkback configuration and how do you do that?
Just make a line from the top left-down-right, as if it were the letter L and the talkback menu is activated.

The next thing is to enter the menu by pressing until it goes blue and without dropping towards the right part of above in talkback settings
Once inside, two fingers are used, from bottom to top to scroll through the menu, we just look for privacy policy and press twice to send us to the browser, in the bottom will appear 3 options, (google chrome-browser-samsung) we choose Browser default by pressing 2 times
Once you send us to the browser we deactivate talkback by pressing 3 times the home button.
Already in the browser we look for quickshortcutmaker we downloaded it, there will not appear a notification that it is already downloaded, what we will do is still being in the browser we go favorites and look for history-download history, we enter and there will be the apk we installed it Send to unknown origins we activate it will return us to the facility we open and ready
After putting an account to which we can enter, we will return to the application, restart the device and ready
Just cracked my honor Note 8 screen, I want to get rid of the phone. I'm located in California and will sell the phone for $195 including shipping, via PayPal. Phone works perfectly fine, gold 64GB. You can contact me through my Craigslist ad on SF Bay Craigslist, just search for Honor Note 8. Thanks
Why would one remove google account unless you are too privacy concerned?? Linking and syncing with google account helps dummies restore their contacts notes and whatever.

Hello!
Recently, I install Lineage OS 14.1 to my Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML.
Everything work fine (there was a root problem but I fix it) execpt my phone book.
Actually in my phone book there is no problem. There are only my numbers which I added but in Dialer, when write a name first I see my numbers and at the bottom there are few German numbers and address.
These numbers not in my phone because when I dissconnect to internet these German numbers gone or when I download different dialer in Play Store there is no German number only stock Dialer have these numbers.

As you can see these are my numbers start "Y". There is no German Number but when I search "Y" I saw German numbers.
I really don't understand what these numbers. How can I fix this please help me.
Is your contacts list linked with your Google contacts?
Sent from my HTC 2PZC100 using Tapatalk
All my contacts in my Google acc. but I checked my Google acc. there is no one like that.
And these numbers only visible while my internet connection open and I have this problem only stock app.
Try going to the settings of the contact app and selecting 'Telephone contacts' as the only contacts visible (at the option choose contact appearance)
I will use another app but I just wonder what are these
I've been having the same behavior on my phone but I've not been able to find anything about how or why this is happening. I'm running Lineage OS 14, latest nightly, on a Motorola X Pure.
I noticed it months ago. Any time I search my contacts (American here with no international contacts or any sort of friends or acquaintances anywhere but the US), I get results from what appears to be German White Pages under the results from my phone.
Anyway, if I find out why this happens, I'll post back here. You are not alone!
The phone numbers I'm seeing while searching my contacts are mostly from Austria, although I have no contacts there. Apparently LineageOS performs lookups via some web service which prefers to search numbers from Austria.
My vpn firewall reported that my android dialer wanted to access the following two domains
lamp01.compass.apa.net
lamp02.compass.apa.net
ips are 91.195.199.126 and 91.195.199.127.
These IPs are also used by auskunft.at.
I guess you see phone numbers from the phone number lookup service, which is enabled by default.
Disable the lookup service in dialer settings and I believe the unknown contacts will disappear.
I only found one semi related bug report:
BUGBASH-612
( I'm not allowed to post the URL)
Also in my case (Lineage OS 14.1) the phone number lookup was enabled by default. It can be switched off by opening the phone app → Settings (click on the three vertical dots to the right of the search bar) → Phone number lookup
See attached screenshot
just noticed this with my OnePlus 3T running TugaPower 19 Android 8.1.0 LineageOS 15.1
google reports that auskunft{dot}at "this site may be hacked"
what a region specific POS to include with all builds of Lineage!
Is there anyway, -not- to have my contact list pull from my Google account the second I add a Google account into my phone?
I have disabled automatically sync data, yet Google still deem it necessary to push my contact from their servers into my second phone where I do -not- want any entire contact.
I remember that on my Galaxy S7, I ended up getting around the issue by simply deleting the contacts I did not want on my phone (probably by disabling sync first).
But on my Pixel, which replaces the S7, I am getting a warning that doing so will remove the contacts on all my other devices despite the fact that I have also disabled auto-sync.
Worse come to worse, I suppose that I could just use a different account on my second phone and avoid adding the account on my primary phone, but I would prefer not to that if only because I would like to be able to access my paid apps (yes, I could also login and out of my primary account as necessary, but I'd prefer a set and forget solution if there is one).
Thanks.
I just make backup copies, then import the latest one.
Hi, you can also use android contacts manager tool to help you make backup of contacts on your android phone to the computer, and you can also manage (edit, delete, etc) them before you take backup. The tool my suggest is Coolmuster Android Assistant. With its help, contacts manager is really easy.

With Samsung phones there is already a robust contact manager, no Gookill needed.
Contacts app>manage contacts

When I connect the Pixel 7 PRO via BT with my cars' dashboard, I see for each contact the same mobile number duplicated twice.
When using car's voice command "call XYZ" I am always prompted with a list of two equal numbers and I am asked to select which number to call.
This happens with all my cars (different brands) and only with mobile numbers (if a contact has a mobile and a landline, I see three numbers: twice the mobile and once the landline).
This does not happen with contacts whose phone number is not associated to WhatsApp (yes, I have a couple of contacts that do not have WhatsApp...), so I believe it must have something to do with WhatsApp.
I think there is an option to merge contacts in the contacts app, never used it though.
That's not the problem
I think whatsapp calling is causing this, phone knows what these 2 numbers mean but for car it is 2 different numbers, differect accounts etc. For my case Audi mmi shows 2 numbers for each contact but Android Auto shows one for normal cell calling number and one for whatsapp calling number.
Fun fact; when you select whatsapp number in Android auto it really does calling from whatsapp, using no cell, well cell data ofc.

Exactly same situation and yes as I wrote it must be WhatsApp...
Was hoping for a solution ...
Well, i do recommend against deleting those numbers which I tried and failed miserable as Whatsapp quickly re sync those numbers.
Also don't try to delete contact list from car, because it is the car that does not understand which means what.
Imo Google should have a setting to what to send for bt devices. So you can select only Google contacts for car but not other things.
Btw it was worse when "meet", "hangouts" and other apps were installed. There was tones of numbers and it was so annoying.
Well I have WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business, and as you can see Android combines the three contacts Inyo one, yet I see only two equal numbers and not three.
