Duplicate details in contacts (2.1 Nordic) - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi. Updated to Nordic 2.1 last night. Easy as pie.
Problem: Although only one of each of my contacts shows in my phonebook, there are two of every detail within them!!! Two numbers, two addresses etc.
The reason is that it is showing that I have two identical Google Accounts set up but under Accounts and Sync there is just the one.
Anyone know how to figure out this rather irritating problem!!??

Yeah... same here.. Damn irritating...

also would be glad about a solution. Ive already tried to filter either Google or Phone Contacts, but this doesn't have any effect.

I use to have this problem on 1.6
I basically,backed up my contacts to memory card which created a .vcf. When the phoneook showed the contacts twice, delete them all and import from vcf.
This would solve the issue for me.

I'm syncing my contacts from Google though. These aren't imported from vcards.

Think I may have solved it!!!
In a contact with duplicates, click "Edit", click on the menu button and then click "Separate". This will remove the duplicate, and it then mysteriously disappears!
Unfortunately you will then have to click menu again and "Join" if you want it to link back up with Facebook contacts.
Hope this helps.

I just use MyPhoneExplorer

Yes I agree. I dont think the fault is with SE. I think it is fromthe Google Contacts merging process to remove duplicates. I think it keeps them hidden normally but somehow its showing on the phone?

Still a few hidden duplicates in there somewhere... removed with Contact Analyzer 2. Quick and easy.

If u log into ur gmail and load up ur contacts u can auto filter duplicates

The thing is ... synced dublicates don't come only from Google (aka Gmail) but also may come from Facebook as well.
And my question is , what if I DO want them to be merged so I can view a full detailed card of each of my contact with Facebook status , email , Facebook picture etc. but I don't want to have dublicate mobile number? I can't proccess the hidden-synced-from-facebook contact card just the one that I have saved , hope I'm not confusing you.

I had the same problem too at first.. so I factory restarted.. and just synced my facebook,twitter and gmail instead. The doubles I think came from my sonyericsson sync. ANOTHER THING IS, click the button on the upper left on the contact list, then click show contacts on facebook and twitter only.. I hid the Timescape facebook and timescape twitter

you can also try this...
when you are in your phone book...look at the phone book page very upper left hand corner and you will see a touch button with 3 heads. click on that, and then you can edit how to show the contacts in your phone book...
now i have a question on the google sync...do you guys have problem with google sync? after update to 2.1 my google account dun sync with the contacts anymore. Can you share if there is a solution to solve it??
Thanks!

noticed a bug.... if you make a contact with just one entry, i cant edit it...

Facebook pictures in Contacts [KaosFroyo]

Alright so I've basically fallen in love with the most recent version of KaosFroyo, minus this one aspect, and that is that almost none of the profile pictures for my synced Facebook contacts will appear on the phone. Like, 5 randomly are appearing, but none more. How can I get the other peoples pictures come up?
Thanks!

This has been an issue for everybody on all roms lately. You can dl the app "syncmypix" free from the market. Works great!
Works like a dream! Thanks mate.
I was having the same issue. I was able to manually sync them last night without any extra app. While in Contacts hit the menu button then display options. Make sure that your contact list is also displaying all contacts for Facebook. Go back to your contact list and long press which contact you want to link with Facebook. Click edit contact. Then click menu and Join. Now select the Facebook contact for the corresponding person.
I have also found that going from the stock ROM to Kaos, is that if the contact name does not match up to the facebook contact exactly, it wont sync. I have not found a way to manually snyc then up like in the older stock versions.
@bl4scott, the post above you works for KaosFroyo

The new official Facebook app has contact sync also. So if you wanted to, you could remove your "Facebook for HTC Sense" account, reboot, let it remove all the data, and then open the settings in the Facebook app and change it to sync all contacts. I don't know if it works any better, but it's worth a shot.

[Q] Only Sync Facebook Friends in Contacts?

So I recently upgraded to the SGS 2 from an Infuse...and when I set up Facebook sync on that phone I was able to select whether I wanted to add ALL facebook friends, or just the ones that were already in my contacts... With the SGS 2 I wasn't given that option, so now I have like 300 extra people in my Contacts list that I will never call, and a good number of them don't even have phone numbers... So is there a way to filter which friends are synced?

Thanks, that's good to know. Problem is, that hides any "real" contacts that don't have phone numbers and shows ANY Facebook friend, so long as they have a number.

[Q] Contacts saved on phone are deleted

Hello everybody,
first I want to thank you for all the great instructions and FAQs, they really helped a lot.
However, I finally bought myself an Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 and flashed it yesterday with the Resurrection 1.8.1 ICS ROM (which is really amazing). But I am experiencing an issue for which I couldn't find a solution.
After synchronizing the S2 via MPE with Outlook, and saving the contacts only on the phone they disappear after a while. But not the contacts which are linked to an online account (Facebook etc).
I think this issue was also raised in [Rom](M5)[Pitch Black](tabletUİ)[AOKP-B35][04/05]Resurrection Remix ics v1.8.1[4.0.4] (page 2546):

Amazing rom. I like Resurrection Remix.
After no help and still problem with loosing contacts I moved to "CriskeloServanTEAM-V8-LP7" and now all is OK.
Please can you fix this bug?

Does anyone now what I could do without having to sync the contacts with Google.

Have you checked to see which contacts are selected to be displayed.

Thanks for the quick reply.
All of the contacts are displayed, because I did not sync it with Google.

I think he meant when you go to the Contacts app, then open menu > more > display options, you can choose various options here. Under the "select contacts to display" heading, if under phone, nothing is checked, then it will not display any local phone contacts. See if they are all un-checked here.
EDIT: Oh, you're on Resurrection Remix, which is an ICS ROM. Could be slightly different for you. But the idea is the same.

Your are right if I uncheck everything no contacts are seen.
But if I want to view the contacts I saved on the phone (phone-only, unsynced contact), I have to show "All contacts", but after some time these contacts disappeared.

I disabled all synchronization except Google calendar, then I also disabled the synchronisation with Contact-sync.
But still the contacts are deleted. The only contacts which are left are either synced with HaxSync or Whatsapp.
Does it mean I cannot leave any contacts which are not synced with something?
It should be possible to leave some contacts on the phone itself?!

That's very weird. I can save a new contact that is "phone only" and it displays just fine, and is never synched to my Google account. (though, I really don't understand why people don't like synching to Google. It's like automatically backing up your Contacts online. What's not to like?)
Can you post some screenshots maybe of your display settings with all the settings expanded?
Just save all contacts to SIM memory, not in Phone memory.

I was talking about display settings from your contacts app, like I was suggesting in post 4.
For me, (I'm on GB still) I open contacts, menu, more, display options, and expand out phone. I have everything checked here.
I don't know what it looks like on ICS, as I'm not on ICS... but if I can see screenshots of a similar screen, I may be able to help you. You may not have that set of contacts set to display.
EDIT: I got a hold of a work colleague's i9100 who has ICS installed on it, and found the menu steps...
Ok, so on ICS, it's a bit different. From the Contacts app, hit menu, contacts to display, customize, then expand out phone. Are all the checkboxes here checked?

If I check all of them I have ca 150contacts, but after I have synced it with MPE I usually have over 500.
After some time (or a sync with an account I guess) the contacts decline only to the contacts which are synced with an account.
Currently, I have one possible solutions in mind which is however not satisfying for me:
1. Syncing all contacts with Google.

If I click on "Contacts to display" the options of the first Screenshot show up. So there is no "Phone" option
I just created a new contact which is then included in the googlemail account and then shown as "phone" and other shown as "connections".
Hope that is what you ment.

It's not what I meant... it's really strange; on my co-worker's phone, on the screen of your first screenshot, he has Phone and SIM displayed, in addition to his Google account... but you do not have either. (So krasavchik's suggestion above wouldn't work either...)
What ROM are you running? Is it a custom ROM, or are you on a Samsung stock firmware?

Duplicated contacts...

Hi!
I have this really annoying "bug" where every single contact us duplicated several times(most contacts have 5 duplicates!).
I could batch delete the duplicates, but the problem is they would probably duplicate again and again...
So, what exactly causes this problem?
Just for the record, my father has this problem too(stock S2). I'm currently running MIUI but the problem seems to not be related to the rom.
Cheers guys, thanks.

The Problem can be because you have configured multiple accounts with your Phone and each one of these has the contact data.
Try this and let me know if it worked.
Go to Contacts > Menu > Contacts to Display
Here select the accounts, the contacts of which you want to be displayed.
A more polished way would be to create an Excel Spreadsheet of all your contacts and then upload it with a name in Gmail. You can then enable only this list contacts to be displayed in the Contacts application.
In case it's not a displaying problem - I use Wondershare MobileGo for Android.
Intall the free version, connect your phone to the computer, open the program and under "contacts" tab there is a "De-duplicate" button. It will help you merge duplicated contacs.
There is a workaround for this problem. You can use Go Backup to take a backup of all your existing contacts.. there is an option to merge duplicate contacts as well.. after taking backup delete all your contacts from mobile; sync to server and then restore your contacts..

Thank you every one for help! However,I found the best solution to be Contact Remover Plus app(paid). It took five minutes to delete all duplicates.
Anyway, thanks guys, some good info here!

That suggestion about dealing with multiple Google account on your phone is good. Works for me. First, I delete the duplicate contacts on my Android phone and then extract them as Excel files. Finally, the data are uploaded to Gmail. Problem solved. Thank you so much.

"Joining" Contacts with facebook profiles

So i have some friends with personal contacts that i have had for years, their facebook profile does not have their phone number attached. I go through manually and join them to merge the # with the facebook email and pictures. Then i use Ubersync to update the facebook pictures so when they call the picture isn't blurry its crystal clear.
Problem is when i factory reset my phone, and tried to do what i normally do, the contacts wont merge. It says Contacts Joined on the phone when i select the two i want to merge, but the data does not move nor does the pictures.
I then googled around for a bit and found a program called Sync.ME, ran it and it moves the pictures but will not move the emails or information provided by facebook.
When you delete the facebook contact by the way, it mentions read only and im not sure if there is some setting i need to enable or what.
Thanks for all the help in advance

Give the app Haxsync a whirl. Sound like it is similar to Ubersync but I never have issues after a factory reset. Been using it flawlessly for over a year on multiple devices.
Make sure you also install the jelly bean workaround file....you'll see it if you search haxsync

It is haxsync specific. Without it only half your contacts will sync properly. You don't need to do anything with it aside from just making sure it is installed along with the app.

You may just have to play around with the settings a bit. Some contacts won't auto-sync if the google name is slightly different than the way it appears on Facebook. In that case just go in the google contact, tick menu, then merge, then find their haxsync FB contact.

exactly what i did, So i got it working and heres how just incase someone runs into the same issue.
Go into the facebook app -> Settings -> Disable Sync
Leave Hacksync enabled and syncing
Go to your contacts and the one with the # you want to attach to the hacksync'd contact information is the one you will edit
Change the name to the exact name they use on the other contact
It will ask you to merge, accept and feel superior.
Thanks for everything
