Is there any way to prevent the default SMS/MMS and Phone apps in ICS from displaying contact pictures? I can't find such setting anywhere. Maybe there are some sort of edited .apks with contact pictures disabled?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Did you ever resolve this? I would also like to disable this
U can remove the contact picture. Go to edit contact and remove it.

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...

Hm ... can't quite figure out what you mean. Care to elaborate?
Does some body knows how you can make goggle picture to become the default contact picture, even if sync of Facebook contacts is on?
I did it on the pc with gmail and the facebook pics dont take over.

Thanks mate sounds interesting as last result
But still would be better if some body knows the way to keep Goggle as default even if you have chosen the pictures via the phone gallery or via internet but on the phone (like I use application called Contact photo).
May be there is an application that you can choose which “source” will be the default one.
Any one?
Hi!
Same problem here.
Very annoying.
Hiya

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.
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.

So installed the app and the workaround, it said they were syncing. Added a bunch of contacts from facebook, but it still will not allow me to add phone #'s or merge the other contact with their # in it.
Still doing the Contacts Joined and not moving the information

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

I don't sync or set contact photos, and the stock contact photo on 4.3 is UGLY. Is there any way to disable contact photos, or at least set them all to a different one? Also, is there a way to remove them from the stock SMS? There were no contact photos in my text messages until I updated to 4.3. Stock ROM and not rooted. Thanks!
