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

Upgraded from Evo to 3D this morning, obviously loving it. However, since integrating Google Voice on the 3D, it is processing all my text messages. I would rather use Chomp as I did before. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling as well as reintegrating without any luck. I sent to the voice site and tried to modify some settings but no joy.
I'd like to keep voice for the cheap international calls, any one else suffering this or find a fix? Cheers.
Ok this has been answered quite a few times. But go to your app and hit menu > more > Settings > Sync and Notifications > Check Text Messages and uncheck Inbox notifications.
Unchecking Inbox notifications will keep google voice from telling you about the text but it'll still be saved there. The only downside is that it won't notify you of voicemails. I leave the widget on my screen to show them to me instead. Google was supposed to update the app so we can turn off text notifications but leave on voicemail notifications but they haven't yet.
Thanks for taking the time to write a response. I'm not sure what's happening as I don't have that option, even after redownloading the latest version of Voice from the Market. When I go to menu > more > Settings > Sync and Notifications, under Notifications, I have Text Messages (notify via text message) which is unchecked, followed by inbox notificatoins, vibrate, light and select ringtone. That's all the options there are. I can't unselect text as you mentioned, grr, slightly frustrating, the google text interface looks like it's plucked from the 80s.
Re-read, will play around with "inbox notifications" - currently chomp doesn't even notify, even though it's set to, so I think using this option, I won't ever get notifed. Thanks again.
Uninstall it and reinstall it - when you get to the first option to SKIP! DON'T DO IT.
Google royally ****ed up a good thing here. If you don't skip then things will work as they before the iPhone style takeover.
Appreciate the advice, I didn't skip, I've installed twice and gone thru each step, I'll try again, disabled notifications in Voice, but Chomp's notification ability is not ruined. Grr - why did they change, worked so well on the Evo up til yesterday!! The text engine is a joke, should be an easy option to switch it off.

I went through this problem on my og EVO. Turns out you need to change a setting on the desktop ver of voice. For some reason Google decided to uncheck the "get texts on this number" I don't remember where the setting is but dig a bit, you'll find it. Uninstalling the app does nothing

Yes its the sprint and google integration thats messing everything up. When I got my phone this morning it went ahead and switched over my sprint number to GV and I was getting txt through the GV app. I deactivated the integration and now it works as before. I just dont get any txt notification when I get a txt sent to my GV number which sucks.

I tried the integration, it worked great for voicemail, but i didnt want Voice to handle my texts - they cant take MMS. I couldnt find anyway to let the phone handle SMS - so I undid the integration...
I have GV+Sprint integration (carried over from integration on Pre-). I took the OTA & all updates.
This was pissing me off so bad. I want to use the app to listen to voicemails, but not for sending/receiving SMS. So here's what I did to keep the Voice app from hijacking the SMS inbox notifications:
Voice>menu > more > Settings > Sync and Notifications
Synchronize Inbox: UNchecked
Background Data: Enabled
Text messages: Checked
now my text messages (including MMS!) still go to the stock messaging app. I still get SMS/VM notifications from the Voice app periodically, but i just clear the SMS ones & listen to the VM ones.
Trying out this combo now though:
Voice>menu > more > Settings > Sync and Notifications
Synchronize Inbox: Checked
Background Data: Enabled
Text messages: Checked (confirmed warning)
Inbox notifications: UNchecked

Then by all means please share with us how to properly set it up. I'm new to this integration as I was predominantly using my T-Mobile and Verizon dealer lines since a bit before they launched this integration and I had the same issue so I too uninstalled the integration. I liked the idea tho. But all of a sudden Google Voice was handling all my messages and they WEREN'T hitting my phones inbox.
To put it simply, Fail.
So please, instead of just telling us we did it wrong, how about telling us how you achieved perfect harmony in spirit of honoring what this forum is about. Helping each other.
I didn't want to read through the previous flames, but if it didn't get answered already you need to go directly to google.com/voice and adjust the settings manually. You have to disable integration, from there you can add a new number, type in your current number and it will tell you you have options to select from, choose google voice lite for voicemail only. I'd get more specific but I cant access the site from here.

Alot of us are using google voice for our voicemail services just fine. I have been since the moment I got my Evo 4G.
Honestly, I think its the best. I do the vast majority of my texting during the day from the computer now. And with chrome + the GV extension, I can check, reply or create from a tiny icon, and not even have to open the GV page.

That is exactly it. I removed my number from the google site then clicked on update my account. Chose to use my mobile number, then chose the light version which only handles VM and no other feature's. Reinstalled it on my phone and all is good to go like it used to be.
Now I just wish spare parts battery option would work I can see if GV has any wakelock issues.
Hi All,
Before you say it, I know what I'm doing and understand how Google contacts work, I had a HTC HD2 (thanks Pongster and XDA!) and I am used to Android.
I know how Google contacts work, infact I submitted a bug fix to AweSync to fix up their syncing of Google Contacts with Lotus Notes.
Why does the Samsung Galaxy 1 (and 2!) show me _ALL CONTACTS_ when trying to SMS people? or when I try to save a newly dialled number into contacts, it shows all contacts?
I don't want to SMS an email address! I don't want to sift through 1,300 contacts yet this idiot phone is showing me them.

http://members.iinet.net.au/~scottylans/diddlyderp.jpg
http://members.iinet.net.au/~scottylans/derpphone.jpg
It's listing email Address's in the SMS TO: field - yet I've CLEARLY unticked "All contacts" and I've made it only show contacts with a phone number.
What is wrong with this thing?
EDIT: also, forgetting my ring tone every time I reboot isn't impressing me either.
Okay, I can't answer all your problems, and I do agree that the management of contacts on this phone is pretty poor, but there's obviously ways round certain issues.
One thing that will immediately help you is to use the contacts app to send SMS, rather than the SMS app. Select your contact (filtered as shown in your post) and you can swipe them left to SMS or right to call. That's a pretty handy feature.
However, if you're sending a message to more than 1 person you're back to square 1. I'd strongly recommend getting GO SMS Pro and GO Contacts (both free) from the Market. They're excellent replacements and I'm sure you'll be a LOT happier with them.

It does what you describe above. I don't know what you expect it to do though. You dial a number, click "Add to contacts" or "New contact" to either list all your contacts or create a new one.
is there any solution to this, i quite like the messaging app, but find it quite annoying when i have to search through hundreds of contacts, or else exit out to the contact application to text some1 who's actually in my contacts list ....
Its not a deal breaker for me, i prefer the stock than go sms or handcent, or any alternative i've tried, so if there is no fix i'll grin and bear it but if there is please help out
.... its not that i prefer the stock to any other, its just that no other provides anything that makes me want to move from stock, and since both will be running anyways it seems pointless to be wasting battery .... also i found double contacts problems with other apps aswell

Why? I think it is a good idea, since I very often MMS to email addresses! It is very handy to automatically downsize an image to MMS size when you are sending it to a person who you know will be looking at the email on their phone (e.g. my friend in Japan doesn't have MMS at all, over there nearly everything is email).
Been wondering about this too, i know the contact app you can customize what to show, which is fine, but the sms app show everyone you have been in contact with on google. Only "fix" i've found so far is to use another SMS app that can filter the contact list.
The solution is very simple. Just open display options in contacts and select only display contacts with numbers. Also untick everything that you don't want it to display. I don't save any numbers in phone or sim card so I save it to gmail account.
Even if I select only gmail it shows lots unnecessary contacts. So I went to gmail on my laptop and opened the contacts (phone book or something like that. Its been over a year so I don't remember)
I created a new category (u can choose an existing one) and transferred every single contact that I needed under it.
And thats it. Everytime I format my phone I just go to contact display settings on my phone and only choose the category that I made. And it only shows the contacts that I need.
It works also if u want to save a contact. I chose to save contacts to my gmail account when it asks. And everytime u save it saves it to the category that u choose.
I have been using this over a year and work flawlessly. I remember beig sick of choosing amongst 1000s of contacts.
I tried to explain as I could. If there is a problem ask me I will try to help.
Edit:
I realized this doesn't answer ur question about sms. This doesn't fix that SMS list behaviour.
Hi,
Need help to clarify this operation.
Let's say, after dialing a new phone number, I want to add that to a new contact.
But I want to save that contact as Google contact or contact in MS Exchange account. I fiddle around the phone for 10 minutes, but could not figure how. appreciate if anyone can provide solution to this.
My phone is AT&T Galaxy S2, loaded with Unnamed 1.04 rom. But, it should be very close to stock samsung rom, in term of adding contact.
James
I have no idea about MS exchange since I don't use it, but I do know a way to save them to google.
Save the contact like normal, and then select the contacts tab. Hit menu (the left most key at the bottom) and select 'merge with google'. That will update the contacts in both directions.
Ok, finally figure this one out.
Open "Contact", then hit "menu soft key"->"More"->"Settings"->"Save new contact to"->"Always ask"
Glad you found it, that is probably the better way than the method I found.
I have searched everywhere for this and can't find anything so hopefully someone can help.
When I get a text message often it comes through 2 or 3 times. I am using the stock text message program. Can anyone tell me how to fix this? It is driving me crazy!

I discovered that I could select which contacts to use in the Contacts app. So I only show the ones on the phone. However, I did not get multiple SMS even when I had all contacts showing, so I don't know why yours would do that.
EDIT: The main gripe I have is that it automatically selects the contacts picture if they have a facebook profile picture. But it isn't that big a deal.

I wonder if it's a 2G/4G thing. I have it happen from time to time but it usually happens when I'm in an area with spotty 4G so the phone is toggling back and forth between 2G and 4G. I've had them come immediately together and then also within about 30 seconds of each other so it looks like it might be signal related? I guess the way to find out would be to force the phone to 2G only or 4G only and see if it goes away.
For those of you looking to clean up your contacts list. you can hit menu > view > and uncheck all of the things you don't want to show. I for example only show 'my contacts' and 'favorites' from google, and dont show facebook at all. That way only contacts i have on my phone on purpose that are linked to facebook will show, otherwise the extra 500+ people aren't in there. also, theres a setting on gmail if you go to your contacts page > settings > create contacts for auto-complete> and pick 'I'll add contacts myself'. This makes it so any time you email a new address or get a new email it doesn't just store the email address to your phone and gmail account. Really cuts down on clutter.

It's definitely a phone/ROM issue. As I've said before I'm on O2 (UK) and never had this problem before.
I've cleaned my contacts up as suggested and haven't had a problem in 1/2 a week..
It could be a radio ROM problem.. new 4G chip-set, new kernel,, maybe the phone isn't telling the network properly it has received the message and it is being resent?
So I had a HTC HD2 that I could merge facebook and phone contacts into 1 contact on my phone. I got the Droid X2 and that feature is not available. Is there a rom or something out there that will fix this. Have multiple of my contacts so annoying.

That is frustrating, I know. I don't know of anything that will do it for you. I've always had to do it manually. When you see multiples of your contacts, select one of them (one without a picture, usually). Go to edit contact. Once you are there, press the menu key again, and you will see a menu pop up with a "join" option. Press join. You will then see a screen with the contacts that match up with that one. Select the one you want, and it will sync the contacts.
Yes, it's time consuming and annoying, but I haven't found a better way.
FYI: When you flash different roms, be prepared to do it all over again.
Hope this helps!
if they're named the same I gotta say I think they merge automatically.
as mentioned above, I had to manually "join" one of them, cause the guy has his FB name reversed last/first, but other than that I think they all did it automatcially.
It will merge automatically for the most part. There were a few cases where my contact on phone and Facebook had the same name but I had to merge them manually

Thanks for the response. I have tried that per the instruction booklet and there is no "Join" option. I have contacted Verizon about this when I first go the phone and they where stumped as well. Their response was to contact Motorola and see what they say. LAME!! Im thinking about flashing to another rom and see what happens.
