I see no replies. I have 348 contacts with the @desksms.appspotchat.com in them. I'd love to know how to get rid of this unnecessary information.

Dude I have the same problem with my Google Talk after installing DeskSMS. I would receive a message like "@desksms.appspotchat.com wants to be able to chat with you, and you rejected a previous request. Okay?" I made the mistake of clicking yes and now I can't seem to remove them from my Google Chat list.
Very annoying!

I just figured it out. go to contacts.google.com & look for Other Contacts on the left-hand side of the screen. All of the appspot contacts are there & you can delete them.
If the previous solution didn't work, you have to re-download the app, there's a feature to remove the desksms contacts and it delete all of them. I did it and it looks all good so far.

Is this feature still there for others, because I have no feature to remove these contacts using the desksms application on my phone?
Ok, so in forgot to sync my contacts after I deleted the desksms contacts so they're back and the feature is gone from the app from what I can see. This sucks.

EDIT: Ok, so I found out a way to delete the contacts if anyone still cares about it:
1) Go to your google contacts
2) Click the "more" tab and export to both Google CSV (in case something goes wrong which it shouldn't) and Outlook CSV (to edit)
3) Open the Outlook CSV into Excel (should be default)
4) Edit to your hearts content!!! (and save!!)
5) Delete all your contacts, be thorough and delete every single thing (don't worry, you made a backup just in case, remember?)
6) Import your new and improved CSV file that you edited earlier and voila, all your regular contacts without the annoying desksms stuff (and anything else you decided to delete/edit)
If this didn't work or messed something else up then just delete everything again and restore the google csv (should be named google.csv I think) and your original contacts will be back.
Hope this works for you guys because it worked for me.
Aaaah. Thanks. Going into Contacts, selecting "Other" and doing a search for "appspotchat.com" showed me all of the contacts. Selected, deleted, done. Appreciate the pointer.

While most everything works from the rooting process equal to the phone I was not able to import all my google contacts only a handful will import into the Nook (NC). After many tries I found a work-a-round.
Save the contacts in google to (outlook type) CVS file and place it on the external sdcard. Download Navdress Book (the only one of many I tried) and import the contacts.
I still have a very small issue with my screen having everything bump up to the edges, while everything is there just no space around the sides. I am sure I will find some screen font/resolution way to make everything look better. Even if not this is so way cool to use over my Vibrant, as much as I enjoy the screen sharpness the NC is faster (hard to believe)...and larger screen....so I find I read and surf more on it then my phone now. Also being able to connect the NC to the phone I do not need to worry about wifi.
As I was going to get the SamsungTab, yet with their POOR support and software updates I was holding off until next year to see if otherS had a better tab, now I do not need to!
The phone is a phone, searching and maps tool, whereas the NC is a web-surf, email, reader, games, etc. Guess as I write this I would be open to 2/3rd the NC size (about 5" to 6 " thin) tab that had everything the NC and Vibrant has in one package. A "BEST of Both Worlds" kind of wish. Small and light enough to do it all...Hey it is a new year folks...
does this allow you to select contacts within google voice or a mail program? the reason i ask is it seems like a standalone contacts program.
i exported everything to a vcard file and used a program called 'import contacts' to get everyone on my phone (edit - scratch that: my nook). they don't all show up in my contacts app but they can be selected in google voice, k9, etc now. woohoo

Sadly no just have them available to lookup. Not sure what you are referring to about the phone. I have no problem with the Vibrant and Google, just the NC does not bring in nor allow contacts to be selected in gmail, that I have found. Read and reply works just not contacts lookup...
However, I can goto the WEB interface and reach gmail/contatcs and send that way. Can not use the gmail app on the NC unless I type in the full email address, kind of a drag unless replying is all I was pointing out.

that's what i meant. i meant nook, not phone this will make it to where you can actually select contacts.
Edit: just added this to the wiki: Making contacts work
So, what do you do once you have all your contacts on the Nook? Can't call them ... can't launch an email to them ... it's just a glorified address book at that point isn't it?

Sweet - worked like a charm.
... By the way, to get a vcard of your contacts, go to gmail on web, click on contacts on the left side, more actions, export, and choose vcard.

After importing the contacts into Navdress, I found I was able to choose a contact, select the individual contact icon and the email address would automatically load into email program of my choice (K9 for me). Another option. Going the vcard route would not work for some reason.
Thanks here.david and jadambpharm for figuring this out. Have either one of you explored sending emails to groups? I have tried a number of group contact apps without any success. Thanks again.
Thanx for the post here.david
I also found this method on nookdevs and it worked really well,

I have just tested with my nook and two mail apps, gmail and maildroid(i find it more convinient) and it works fine.
the testing procedure was following:
1. Call up phonebook app, find your contact, press on it and if contact has e-mail press email button and select your app to compose message.
2. Call up gmail app, begin typing contact name or email and drop down list appears matching to the keyword and select your contact.
3. Call up maildroid and do same steps at p.2.
All works fine
Note: p.2 and 3 are possible without any contacts manager app, it is available just after importing contacts from soocial account.
I have no groups of contacts thats why i cant test with groups, sorry...

I dont know, i have not try this jet. Need to check soocial for this possibility.
Went to sprint store and they said the best way to do contacts is to get it the way you wanted under gmail.com contacts and then sync it.
I finally got the contacts the way I wanted, but I want to know:
1) How to completely clear out what's on the phone now
2) Sync it with what's up on gmail contacts
How do I do this?
Thanks

well i just jumped inot the "PEOPLE" program we got and if u click MENU and then "VIEW"....u can select and de-select which contacts u would like on yur device....ex: twitter, phone, ect, ect, ect.....
at least that how i figured out how to managed which contacts u got on yur phone....also, ive used GMAIL on my PC to manage my contacts as well....hope i didnt make this confusing for ya LOL
Go to setting/applications/mange apps
Then find contact storage. The clear data. Then go to settings/account and sync then enable background data then press on your email and then choose sync contacts and you should be good.

That worked!
Now one last question.
If memory serves, as people send me emails, they get added to my "contacts" under gmail automatically and thus would get sync'd automatically to my phone. How do I prevent or manage this? I get TONS of SPAM every day (200+ new emails) and don't want everyone coming over to my phone as contacts!

You can select only view contacts with phone numbers in the settings/view of the people app. But I believe if you go into gmail and your computer under settings you can disable automatic contacts add. I use gmail and my contacts only add if I tell it too.
I'm pretty sure it only adds a email address to ur contact list of it matches an existing contact or you add them on google talk or something

Now that my Nook is rooted, I'm trying to find a contact manager that will sync with Google contacts. Not having the phone portion of the Android system makes it difficult to load contacts!
Any ideas?
I have also been looking for this without luck. Every contacts app that I have tried force closes. I even copied the CM7 stock app from my Nook Color to my Tablet, but got the same result. Seems something is missing from our Android build....but I don't know what....
I'm using Go Contacts. It's free on the Market.
That did it! Thanks.

I'm having a hard time getting Go Contacts to sync with my gmail contacts for some reason.
I all I have to do is download/install, and then make sure it shows my gmail account in the app??
Update
And I need to learn to try every possible thing before I ask for help...I'm not actually retarded, I promise.
For those who are having problems with getting your contacts to sync:
1)Download and install Go Contacts
2)Open Go Contacts
3)Press Menu Key
4)Press Setting Icon
5)Press Backup and Recovery
6)Press Account Sync
7)Select whichever account's contacts you want to sync
8)Check the box to begin syncing Contacts
Anyone had problems creating or editing contacts? I found that for me, this and other functions weren't working until I installed the stock email app using Indirect's method. (Thread is in this same section.)
Now Go Contacts properly allows me to add/edit contacts (I guess it needs to use an outside contact editor for this, and B&N's stock doesn't work.) Now contacts-to-email functions properly.
A nice bonus is that street addresses will open in Google Maps (or Google Earth if you have either installed) and phone numbers will open a chat in textPlus.
I think the stock email app also fixed some issues with other contact managers that were crashing or giving 'no application for that' errors before. I was curious and reinstalled a few that had failed before, and some worked. But overall, none seem as seamless as Go Contacts, so I wouldn't recommend anything else.
I have the stock email installed as well as go contacts...they sync fine but I still can not edit or add contacts...both installed to system/app and both have permissions set to:
Read write
Read
Read
Can not get go contact to edit/add
I shut down and restarted....no luck...anyone have any ideas? Maybe remove the stock social.apk?

When you say you can't get go contact to edit/add, what happens when you tap the edit icon on the top right of the screen? Can you actually edit the details? Do the changes not save?
Go Contacts works perfectly for me.
Nothing happens when I press the + button. When I long press on a contact it takes me to a menu so I can choose edit...but nothing pulls up. Thanks for responding
Anybody know where I can get the apk for Go Contacts? I see it's not in the Amazon App Store and I don't want to send it to my phone to get the apk. Thanks.

Do you have a google account set up?
When I hit the + it says "Create contact under account" and lists the gmail account I set up for the stock email account. When I choose it, I can create new contacts.
Edit brings up the same contact editor under the same account.
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..

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.
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
