So my girlfriend went screwing around with custom contact ringtones, now doesn't want any of them. Tried looking and searching, to no avail, for a "default" option or something to remove. It's the stock HTC People app, with no phone modifications whatsoever. Anyone able to gimme a hand?

Hi there,
I am experiencing the same problem, so is one other user:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=26763729
Did you by any change found a solution for it?

Not the most elegant workaround, but works quick and well enough:
Select the contact and hit the Menu key, then Export to SIM. Resets to Default ringtone when moved.
You can then go back to the main list of people and Import from SIM back to the Phone. This will make it Sync with Facebook normally again (FB and Google don't seem to like syncing with SIM stored contacts.)
If you have multiple contacts you wish to reset at once, hit the Menu key on the main list of People and select Import/Export > Export to SIM Card option. Then come back to the same Menu after the move and select the Import from SIM Card option.
You can tidy up the duplicates on the SIM card by filtering all other types of Contacts out with the drop-down menu at the top of the screen; check the box for SIM contacts and deselect the others, then hit Menu > Delete. Select the contacts you wish to get rid of.
Hope that helps

Already Set to Phone Memory, But whenever am saving the new contacts it saves in Google. Don,t know why
I know what you mean, yeh. It's one of those glitches I think. My phone memory/sim memory numbers change all the time when I look in there, especially if I have to take the sim out. I think positioning of the sim is a factor too

PROBLEM Solved.
I already Set the Contacts option to Phone Memeory.
But Whenever you are trying to save a new contact, after the name option there is option of of Google, Phone and Sim. So evertime you have to select where you wanna want to save.
I really need an answer to this question. In my HD2, there is a chance to add people to contacts but only in phone memory while looking at call history. No option to add to sim. I can only add by keeping the number in my mind and add manually in sim.
Basically, wanna click to a number in call history and directly add to sim contacts. How can i achieve this? Thanks.
cant do it without adding it you your phones 'people' list too. but you can do it in around 10 seconds
press the small square icon at the right end of the call history entry, then menu - save to people - new contact, fill in details - done - then menu - save contact to sim - then when sim completes saving hit menu - delete contact to delete the people entry, and leave the contact in sim only.
I know this way of adding but just searching for a shortcut. However, i will keep doing like that unfortunately
It really irks me that I can't change a contact's assigned ringtone from the Vibrant contacts app. I have to go to Ringdroid every time and I have to create a new ringtone every time.
Is there any way I can get stock contacts on my Vibrant? or at least some hack that allows me to change the ringtone from the default contacts app? I'm coming from an iPhone, so this is kind of annoying.
You can do this, but it has to be a phone contact, not a gmail contact. Then you can link the phone contact to the gmail contact.
I think this whole setup is dumb in Samsung's part. I miss being to assign a ringtone to a contact like I did on my G1.

Hi,
Eugene managed to port the AOSP/stock contacts & phone apps to the vibrant in his "Hybrid" series of roms, and he's hoping to release a new update tonight, so you might want to check it out when he does.
Otherwise, yep, no way to assign a custom ringtone to a contact stored on google from the vibrant's default contacts application, javacody's suggestion is the only way to do this.
This is one of my top 3, most boneheaded, backwards modifications samsung made to android. The other two would be creating all new Calendar events by default on the phone locally instead of your google calendar, and making sms/mms delivery/red reports post a notification, instead of an in-line icon like the AOSP sms/mms app.
Sigh, so much for not fixing something that isn't broken.
Cheers, =)
Wow, yeah, that's really annoying. At least I can get it to work... Still... that's really stupid >_>

It's kind of a pain but what I did was....
Menu > Display Options > Google (or whatever contacts you WANT....)
then once you see the contacts you want...
Menu > More > Import/Export > Export to SD Card...
then once it's done exporting your contacts....
Menu > Display Options > Phone (so that it will only show contacts ACTUALLY on the device)
then once it's blank (or showing any contacts you have on your phone itself)
Menu > More > Import/Export > Import from SD Card...
This will import all the contacts that you exported earlier....
now when you go into contacts you can either leave it on Phone or put it back to "Google" for the Display options... it should auto-merge them and make it the same contact being that all theinformation is the same... so if you make frequent changes it will probably be better to filter it to "Google"....
anyway, when you are done doing all this, go into a contact that you wish to edit and when you open the contact you should now see a "Phone" tab on top....click that and then Ringtone option is near the bottom...
hope this helps, i know it's a pain but it's the easiest way i found to do it

Hello,i wanted to set up my most called contacts as shorcuts on the home screen on my Evo,but when i chose shorcut>direct call it gives me only people with phone numbers imported from my facebook account.Is there a way to give me the contacts from my sim card only so i choose among them.I tried with people widget,but in all groups it gives me to choose from contacts from my gmail acc,only in the frequent group displayed me the contacts from my sim card,since they were the ones i called mostly.
So how do i get the phones on my screen from the sim card as shorcut?-or i should use another app from the android market.
P.S. In people i've set the options to show me only contacts from sim card and phone memory.

Try this.... Go to your "people" app and open it. Click the phonebook tab at the top, it'll let you choose which contacts to show. That's how it works on the Rom I use, (mikrunny 3.5 sense) might be different on yours. Hope this helps.
This is what to show in people app,in my case when i pick address book ,yeah i see only people from sim card.But i wonder why when i try to add the contacts as shortcut dials,i see only the ones from facebook.
is there anyone who tried to make such speed dials and experienced such difficulties?
P.s. Anyway thanks for the try
Every time I open contacts it tries to sync with at&t address book. I want to stop this from happening. Any thoughts?
Go into setting-accounts and sync and remove AT&T account. Then go into contact settings-display options and make sure you don't have it checked(if it's an option anymore). Hope that helps.
Edit:looks like in display options, the first phone is for AT&T. Just go into that and uncheck em all.
i dont see any of those settings ...
If you've ever accepted the at&t backup option before, on any phone, you'll have to call up customer care and have them remove it for you. If you've never used it before, you should be able to cancel the operation when it prompts you and it shouldn't pop up again
Edit: I see that you're on Telus so obviously you haven't used it before lol.. You may have to find the service in titanium backup and freeze it to keep it from trying to contact at&t every time you open the address book. I'm sure other ppl using at&t notes have run into this problem before..
Go into main settings then accounts and sync to remove the AT&T account. Once that's done go into contacts and hit the capacitive menu button. Hit more and you'll see display options. Hit that and you'll see all your options to show contacts. hit each one and check off what you want. I prefer google only, but if all your contacts are on your Sim then use the bottom phone option.

I've successfully removed it before without calling them after I've synced. Let me do a little more digging and I'll let you know if there's anything else to do.

Not to confuse the OP, but found an easier way. Go into contacts and hit settings button. Hit more and choose accounts. you'll see all the accounts that are synced including AT&T. Press it and remove.
Edit:if that doesn't work, I got nothing else. The only other thing is to go into contacts, settings, more, settings and choose to save contacts to anything but phone. If you don't do that I think it will continue to sync when you add a new contact. Good luck!

Anyone else having same problem. None of these solutions is useful because they assume options, settings, or items that aren't present.
The Contacts app launches with a dialog about "subscriber" information for AT&T even tho one is not on that telco. Anyone else had this exact problem, understand why these solutions can't work, and found one that does?
I am currently using The Unofficial 2.0 Beta 4 and installed the inverted app kit found through the tools provided in the rom. This is what fixed the problem for me.
You can't remove it. It's not part of the sync providers. The AT&T rom comes with a custom-built Contacts.apk and it's integrated with Android. You'll have to just find/download/use a different Contacts app from the Play Store.
I think however, that removing the AT&T bloatware makes it stop nagging for the AT&T Address Book sync.
I've tried replacing /system/app/Contacts.apk from other ICS builds and it would crash when trying to open Contacts.
If you are on ICS, you can disable it from app management under all... look in the "S's" for Sync then click disable. It may still launch a few times because it is in RAM. So launch it a few times and hit cancel. Reboot and launch contacts again and hit cancel. It should go away after that. If you did sign up for that servce you can disable it online (if you are on ATT).
Since you are on Telus, I am guessing you are running one of the ICS leaks or custom ROMs that use one as a base.

Thanks man
Root then remove AABSync.apk from /system/app directory seems to work fine. Left a copy on SD just in case.
Old Thread, Just to help out though, I stumbled on contacts+ in the android market, it works well.:good:
This worked for me.
On my Galaxy S3 mini, running JB. Contacts, settings, contacts to display. I selected my gmail only. No more AT&T.
I have just fixed this problem via another forum (as the issue is the phone's address book trying to sync with the online AT&T address book).
Go to the Dial keypad and enter *#*#2666#*#. That will bring up the AAB Setting. Click on Registration, and change the setting from 'Initialized' to 'Completed' . That will stop your address book trying to sync with online At&T address book
