Hi,
I've a problem with my contacts.
I just flashed my X10i with the newest firmware 2.1.B.. it delete everything (quite normal) and i re-sync my contacts data with google ...
The problem is now i've any contacts in double or triple, for example :
In the contact name "Mum", i've 3 times her date from gmail and 3 times her data from facebook.
I hope someone understand what i wanna explain...
Is there someone to help me please ?
I had a similar problem ages ago.
What i did was to wipe contacts in gmail
Delete all duplicate copies of contacts on phone. This did take a while.
Backup contacts in PIM.
Delete all contacts everywhere except PIM.
Then restore and let it sync.
If you get multiples via facebook you should be able to "link" contacts in phonebook so they only appear once. Or make sure they are nemed the same.
i.e. phone contact says your mums name not "mum"
Thanks a lot for your answer, but i don't know what PIM is...
I desync gmail on my X10i and i deleted all my contacts...
Then i do the sync again.... Now i just have the facebook contact in double...
I'll do with it...
Hi
Then I write SMS and have to point contact to whom send SMS. I open the list of contacts but in it I see not only my contacts from phone book but also my FB and gmail contacts. How can I do so that I would see only my phone book's list?
Thanks

where are you from? and what version n carrier u using?
Lithuanian but I did not understand the other part of question
Try this
Open Contacts>Menu>Display options, find Facebook and whatever account you have and uncheck the contacts box.
They are unchecked. In phone book my contacts are sync with my gmail acc contact's one folder. And in that place only that option is check. So in my phone book I see only contacts from my gmail acc folder, witch contais information about my numbers, but in sms I also see my other gmail contacts (to whom I have writen emails and so on) where is the problem?

OK I see what you mean. I think that's just how Android work.
Try Settings>Accounts and Sync>Look for different account and un-check "Contacts"
It did not change anything. In contanct list I still see all sort of things (emails, persons contacts and so one). ANd what I noticed that in this list there are all groups from my Gmail acc contacts. Then I want to see only one of it witch it is call Tel. I can do this by choosing in upper meniu Groups and so on then I have to point receiver of sms. Maybe where are more suggesstions?
I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I have noticed that my contacts are all fine when I look them up to call or browse but when I want to send a sms and go to select a contact I have a heap of contacts that shouldn't be there and a lot of them repeat themselves several times. I have cleared all my contacts from my gmail account and from both phone and sim card but they remain in my sms contact and i cant delete them. Its frustrating having to scroll through all the names that shouldn't be there when ever I want to send a sms.
Would a factory reset clear all my contacts?
I am using galaxy s2 with skyrom 8 xxkh3
android version 2.3.4
Do you use Facebook for Android? If so, did you select it sync at all? If so, it syncs all facebook contacts to the SMS area you are talking about. Easiest way to check is by opening the Facebook app then: Menu -> Settings -> Scroll all the way down -> Sync Contacts -> Remove Facebook Data
It's the same with any social media app, like Twitter. Twitter is the same way.
Let me know it worked for ya!
thanks David for your suggestions. I don't have or use facebook. I do have it synced with gmail and hotmail but I have cleaned out both accounts contacts and then synced it again but no change. I have also removed all contacts from phone and the sms contacts still remain.
I cant understand why the sms contact list repeats itself several times

You can try backing up your text messages with an app and then clearing data for your SMS application. I'm not sure if it will work, but it's worth a shot.
You can also try using a third party SMS app (like Hsndcent, Chomp, or Go SMS) and see if the problem is only with the stock app.

thanks for the advice and help
I use a 3rd party sms ap (Go sms)
I will try to work out how to clear my sms data and see if that helps.
Just looked again and I have a contact listed 8 times in sms but the same contact doesn't show up in my normal contacts.
Thanks guys for your help and I will post the outcome
tried to clear the data from my contacts and sms contacts but it only removed a couple of names.
I've just noticed that some of the contacts in the sms list dont even contain a phone number only an email address?
problem solved.
in case others have this issue I will try to explain how I sorted it.
I wiped the data from contacts which made little difference until I rebooted then the contacts that shouldn't be there were gone but Iwas left with double of every contact.
I deleted all the contacts from the sim and that removed the duplicate from the sms......
A little bothered that I cant keep contacts on both sim card and phone. I like to keep them on both as if I needed to change phone my contacts would be there no matter what phone I put the card in. I also like to keep them on the phone as it allows me to store more info and pics of contacts.
If anyone has a fix for this I would be happy to hear it.
Thanks again to the guys who helped me out....and yes you did help!
From the SMS app, go into settings and make sure no show from history options are selected, also same with show email.

How do i sync contacts with facebook pictures without getting ALL my friends from facebook to the phone.
"Sync existing contacts only" doesnt work. Mine just syncs all my FB friends numbers to my phone.. and doesnt even update the contacts picture on phone..
same problem....but some contacts were updated and some others not
i have had this problem as well, and there is a small work-a-round when in the contacts menu i go to Options > Visible contacts > Edit , and simply only have the desired contacts show up.
as for your picture problem, i have always done this by hand simply merging the contact with the corresponding facebook account
Yeah thats a workaround, but then when you start typing receiver in text messages for example, random people from facebook with number pops up.. kind of annoying.
SyncMyPix, is a app that does the job but i would want FB native app to do the job..
If anyone knows, please share!
Hey Guys,
I got all my facebook contacts numbers synced and it comes in contacts but its not coming as phone contacts. Only when it comes as phone contacts i can use them in other apps like Viber and Whatsapp. Its not practically possible add and each very number manually (1800 friends ). Is there any way to copy facebook numbers to phone contacts or likewise?
