Anyone know why my recent messages contacts appear in my call log on go contacts ex? Is this an android thing or go contacts ex thing? I clear the call log and those numbers just do not go away

Hey guys
When I try to type a new message and then select add recipient it gives me a long list with facebook account and gmail, Is there a way to only show the phone contacts when selecting a recipient?
I disabled the facebook and gmail contacts from displaying on phonebook but it doesn't seems to affect messaging!!
Apologies but I'm going to answer your question with another question: Why don't you download Handcent from Market? Free download and works well.
As for the stock messaging app, try going into contacts and click the 3 heads icon at the top left and choose contacts with phone number, under Phone contact choose contact.
Not sure if it will solve it but have a go.
I'm hoping someone can help me out here. I have noticed that my contacts are all fine when I look them up to call or browse but when I want to send a sms and go to select a contact I have a heap of contacts that shouldn't be there and a lot of them repeat themselves several times. I have cleared all my contacts from my gmail account and from both phone and sim card but they remain in my sms contact and i cant delete them. Its frustrating having to scroll through all the names that shouldn't be there when ever I want to send a sms.
Would a factory reset clear all my contacts?
I am using galaxy s2 with skyrom 8 xxkh3
android version 2.3.4
Do you use Facebook for Android? If so, did you select it sync at all? If so, it syncs all facebook contacts to the SMS area you are talking about. Easiest way to check is by opening the Facebook app then: Menu -> Settings -> Scroll all the way down -> Sync Contacts -> Remove Facebook Data
It's the same with any social media app, like Twitter. Twitter is the same way.
Let me know it worked for ya!
thanks David for your suggestions. I don't have or use facebook. I do have it synced with gmail and hotmail but I have cleaned out both accounts contacts and then synced it again but no change. I have also removed all contacts from phone and the sms contacts still remain.
I cant understand why the sms contact list repeats itself several times

You can try backing up your text messages with an app and then clearing data for your SMS application. I'm not sure if it will work, but it's worth a shot.
You can also try using a third party SMS app (like Hsndcent, Chomp, or Go SMS) and see if the problem is only with the stock app.

thanks for the advice and help
I use a 3rd party sms ap (Go sms)
I will try to work out how to clear my sms data and see if that helps.
Just looked again and I have a contact listed 8 times in sms but the same contact doesn't show up in my normal contacts.
Thanks guys for your help and I will post the outcome
tried to clear the data from my contacts and sms contacts but it only removed a couple of names.
I've just noticed that some of the contacts in the sms list dont even contain a phone number only an email address?
problem solved.
in case others have this issue I will try to explain how I sorted it.
I wiped the data from contacts which made little difference until I rebooted then the contacts that shouldn't be there were gone but Iwas left with double of every contact.
I deleted all the contacts from the sim and that removed the duplicate from the sms......
A little bothered that I cant keep contacts on both sim card and phone. I like to keep them on both as if I needed to change phone my contacts would be there no matter what phone I put the card in. I also like to keep them on the phone as it allows me to store more info and pics of contacts.
If anyone has a fix for this I would be happy to hear it.
Thanks again to the guys who helped me out....and yes you did help!
From the SMS app, go into settings and make sure no show from history options are selected, also same with show email.

Hi, I am using both GO Dialer and GO SMS and have come to notice that both my Google and Facebook contacts show up in GO Dialer, though only my Google contacts show up in GO SMS. I have tried possibly everything I can think of, yet I still am experiencing the same problem. Hard pressing on a Facebook contact and hitting Send SMS will lead to me to GO SMS, but it will only show the number of that contact. Wondering if there was a way to fix this or do I have to literally add everybody to my Google contacts?

It has something to do with Go SMS not being able to get the contact pictures from Facebook or something. I had this issue before and I believe that downloading Friendcaster and syncing with your contacts would work. Try that out to see if it works.
EDIT: Just make sure that if you go that route that you link all of those contacts together so you don't have any duplicates.
Can anyone tell me if there's any way have a contact thread for all contacts like HTC do?
I just want to be able to see all contact , messages, calls, email in one chronological thread. The Contact History menu option in Contacts will show messages and emails but ONLY if you use the stock email app and NOT the gmail app, and it doesn't display calls anyway.
Does anyone know of an app that will do this?
Many thanks!
Samsungs implimentation of contacts is UTTERLY CRAP - it's the weakest part of their phones.
I hate HATE HATE when a buddy gets a new phone number and messages me, I go to add to contacts and I SPECIFICALLY want to use just "My Contacts" on google NOT the "all contacts" gmail name cache - I want to sift through 109 contacts, not 1400.
and no, I shouldn't have to delete the 1400, they are really handy when emailing in gmail. I'm 99.94% positive my HTC HD2 didn't do this with any of the ROMS I loaded on to that :/
I just restored my phone to stock and then back to CM11 and now in hangouts it shows email addresses of people. I only want to use hangouts for sms. Is there a fix? I don't remember having this problem before.
Set show contacts only with phone numbers in options
