A little while back (by mistake) I synced my google account with my phonebook, but now I have multiple entries in my phone book. I don't have the name entry twice but when I hit the edit button some of the information is in one entry and some information is in a 2nd entry. Does that make sense?
you should just delete second contact then back up and restore with titanium backup instead. sorry if I am confused with your problem

But I can't delete 2nd contact. It's part of the same entry.

I know you can go on your PC and edit your contacts from there, it would be faster, then save and sync, it should fix it

Yes I can't remove account and I don't wanna wipe everything again.
Is there a solution
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Go to settings, Accounts and Sync, tap your email, tap remove account.
^ that won't work if you only have 1 google account.
Add another one then try to remove the original one. that MIGHT work, but it has a big chance that it won't also.

I am having the same issue. I created another account so I could remove another one and i keep getting the message that some applications use this account. Need to go to settings, privacy, and reset phone. Doesn't work. Trying to remove the 300 contacts that are this phone from when i traded my hd7 windows phone for this hd2 with android. How can i remove the contacts?
Oh epic bump

Just use TitaniumBackup to remove any apps you don't like.

Call me an idiot...but I thought Google sync was obsolete with android, considering most of the devices are powered by Google! ....am I wrong....be nice !!
I will reiterate - Titanium Backup works great for restoring, in my case programs with data like Timeriffic.

You are wrong. Google sync is an android feature. It's one of the benefits to logging in with your gmail account when you setup a new ROM.

I've never been able to get Titanium Backup to backup and restore contacts...
You could just export your contacts to your SD card then import them back after you flash a new ROM. While in people, hit menu then export.
What is the best way to backup contacts now that we can't use the backup /restore option in android 2.3

this had to go to Q&A, but anyways, just install them on sim card and they will sync everytime you reflash the phone or do something else or use titanium backup or any other 3rd party application.
I have all my contacts stored in my gmailaccount and let it sync after I put a new ROM on my phone.
Before I went to the trouble of storing all my contacts in my gmailaccount, I used the backup to .vcf function in Go Contacts app.

I do same as ldeleeuw, just synch it with your google account
Regards
Awesome guys.
How do I do that?!
And will my calendar be synced as well?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
Yes it will!!
I will recommnend Google sync.. it also helped me many times when I am running out of battery.
Also editing is also powerful in Gmail acct.
Another tool I found was, fjsoft's mobile phone explorer. It will give you many options to customize backup. Google fjsoft and dload. "Mobile Phone Explorer" is free.

On my PC, I imported a vcf-file into my gmailaccount, which I created with GO Contacts. It's is a single vcf-file with mutiple contacts, so importing it is very easy.
To sync it with your phone, you'll need to setup syncronisation somewhere in settings
What about going into settings and pressing the sync button to sync with my gmail account ?
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
sounds like you are already synced, have to checked your contacts page in gmail on a pc?
also you can got Phone book - menu - more - Backup contacts - memory card
I would go for MyBackup as i dont sync often.

I'm using MyPhoneExplorer and I think it is the best back up way. You can sync,archive,export, import your contacts, messages and calendar.
It can save your contacts with pictures. See this page:

So I have finally figured out how to extract contacts from an SBU file, convert it to vCard and then import them into my phone.
Here is the wonky part.
When I click on the contacts button, it only shows my phone having 12 contacts in my phone. BUT when I click over to "Groups" under "My Contacts, there are all my contacts that I have recently restored.
Now I have tried playing around with Wondershare, and a few other programs, but I want all my contacts in one place. Not having to swtich tabs to make this work. How can I copy them from "My Contacts" to the phone itself so I can see them all easily? I am so close to having all my contacts restored, this is the final step!
Please help!!! Thanks in advance!~

No, but I will once I can solidify all my contacts into one area.
There is a real fast safe way to restore contacts through it. I have nandroid backups for every rom. I use tbu and go into extract from nandroid, choose the rom, check the "contact storage" box, choose data only and restore it, reboot and they are all there, full size pictures and all.

I simply connected via Kies air and edited them all manually. Slow day at work so at least I got something done. Lol

Hello,
How to FULLY delete (only from Mobile) those 1000s of email contacts which were synced earlier in my S2 (JB 4.1.2 Neatrom) from Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail etc.
I have totally disabled automatic 'Sync' on all accounts added, and I only need to manually sync for new emails only. I can manage to 'display' contacts with a number only, but when I run a 'search' it brings up all email contacts again ffrom the db.
I simply don't want any email contacts but phone contacts in my phone.
Tried couple of tools which helped purge duplicates, but not email contacts itself.

Is it a option to delete your account and add them again but only select "Sync Email"?
Clear data for your contacts app and the contacts storage from Application Manager.

That can help for avoiding future contact sync, but here I am worrying about those contacts which synced in the past

Anything that is stored on your phones contact database will go, and Sim contacts which are stored on the sim card you will have to manually clean. Anything and everything else should go.

Couldn't you just backup whatever you need using some app and restore back into a cleaned database, I have done it before myself.

Wondershare Mobilego for PC was the key tool to manage Android contacts from PC, where I had option to pick e-email contacts and purge them!

Yes I could, but you should really consider this 'whatever I need take a backup and restore only what I need', because excluding 3000+ email contacts from the required 500 contacts in a mixed contacts pool is HARD JOB...I had'nt find any tool to isolate them, all threads recommend 'SELECT' only what u need and export....do you find it easy to select one after one among the junk/needed contacts...NOooooooooo :cyclops:
Anyway I fixed it :good:
