For the second time in two days im having issues with contacts.
My exchange contacts (hotmail) double up and loose there connections (facebook, linkedin etc) and the only way i can find to get them back to normal and restore the connections is to remove and add the account back in.
Has anyone seen this before?
where can i start for resolving this?
I know there's a setting that will alow you to show contacts from one source only hence hiding the other contacts duplicate but I can't remember where.
Merge them with Google....will that not get rid of duplicates.
that option is there in the contacts menu.
if your on MiUi it will just say Merge contacts......
There isn't duplicates in another account it's litteraly showing the exchange ones twice.

I am having the same issue but just from a different source... The phone shows my Google contacts (which is what I want) and also shows my 'phone' contacts, because the idiot at Verizon make backup sync my contacts. So suddenly I have 70 something contacts that I no longer use. There doesn't seem to be a way to 'delete' the phone contacts and just display the Google contacts, although I have disabled the verizon apps..
Any thoughts?
The contacts I have are only in one place and only appear once to any other app. Occasionally contacts doubles them up. Disconnect and reconnect account works for me. But why does it keep happening?

For some reason, all people I email ends up in my contacts. Even if I emailed them just once and not even from the phone. This never happened on my Nexus One... Any ideas? Thanks.
Go to contacts, menu, display options, select only show contacts with phone numbers.

Ok but what if I have some contacts that are only email addresses. It seems the phone is getting contacts from within gmail's "all contacts" instead of "my contacts"
The only thing you can do is stop synching your gmail contacts.
This has happened on every android phone I've owned since the G1. Google remembers anyone you send an email to and it becomes part of your address book, even if it's not on your list of contacts. To show this, open up gmail in on a PC and type the first couple chars of that email address and it will pop right up.
I know what you're talking about but it didn't happen when I was running cyanogen or kangorama on my nexus one. Maybe it has something to do with Samsungs contact app instead of stock, I don't know...
nope same thing happened to me, i just deleted and move on though...
this is so annoying. Every android phone I have had syncs with 'My Contacts' (G1 and Nexus)...but the Vibrant syncs with 'All Contacts'...I haven't found a fix yet, or a good work around.

In the gmail web portal setting there is an option to turn that off. I remember seeing it just three other day.

I remember the days of the G1, when I had a separate "phone" list setup in google contacts, and I could display ONLY those contacts. Some numbers I do want to keep in google contacts, but only some I want to pop up when making a call.
Why did they change the contacts stuff so much? Does anyone else find this annoying?
any solution to this?
Beside this, can it show the actual group I put in the Google contact rather in the same group "Google"
When I start a text and put in the name of the contact I want to message, duplicates are showing. I have it set so it doesn't do this for calls, but I can figure out how to do it for texts. It shows 2 of every contact. Is there a way to set it do it only pulls names from either the phone or sim?
Any sUggestions as to why this is happening?
do you use gmail to backup and save your contacts?

I already did that. i dont have this issue for when I make calls and look up names, just texts. Im not storing my stuff on gmail either
This all started after I tried to update my phone to the newest update thru mini kies. i ended up having to wipe my phone and restart. I did get the update, and now i noticed its doing this.
It looks as though the Messaging contacts display is ignoring the 'Contacts-->Display Options' settings. I have my phone contacts set to display just the names etc from the Phone memory, not the SIM memory and it works well - no duplicates. However, when composing a Message or Email and press the Contact button, the list of contacts shows 2 of everybody. I've gone through everything obvious but can't see it, now turning to the experts for advice please? What do i need to tick/untick remove or whatever to put this right?
Any suggestions how to make this stop?

Are you using gmail to backup your contacts? If so just go into gmail and consolidate all the dupes than delete the contacts saved on your phone and sim. Had the same problem with dupes in the messaging. If you need more help just shoot me a pm

Which ROM are you using?
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
My contacts are not backed up to gmail, and im just using the regular stock rom. I dont have phone phone flashed/rooted/whatever.
I had the same problem
sign in to gmail on your computer click contacts it will display all including the phone numbers stored on you your phone if you delete them all (contacts with phone numbers) it should take off all duplicate contacts away
but make sure all phone numbers stored already on your sim card
its something about MIUI if you ever used it before
if that didn't work I know for sure if you have a gmail contact and a phone number contact with the same name and you trying to send sms or mms it show both of them as to send to at that point I would edit the first name of gmail contact by adding * to the name
Hope that helps
But I dont have any contacts listed on my gmail contacts when I sign in on my laptop.

the only thing i can think of that after you restore your phone do you restore it from backup that it has a duplicate contacts ?
or go under contacts/press the first key to the left/display option/ choose phone,sim,gmail (all) then view your contact list and delete all duplicate contacts
best thing i found is to store contacts on sim only that allow you to import them to any phone and also to your own phone after you wipe it off
My contacts show up fine in my address book, no duplicates. So I know the issue isnt with that. There are no duplicates on my phone.
I dont know what to do. Ive tried everything, and its really annoying when trying to send a text to go thru all those duplicates.
when I go to create a text, there are also email addresses showing when I begin typing a name to search for a contact. I dont know where they are coming from

You need to backup all your contacts to gmail. First.
Go to accounts & Sync and tap your google account or any other email accounts you have on your phone. It will give your sync screen, see if "sync contacts" is ticked there. If it is then try unticking it, see if that helps.

Hello, I have using a custom rom ics aosp in my galaxy s2,
i have had the issue that the contacts dissapear from the telephone and become google contacts I have set the contacts application to show phone contacts only.
from time to time i see my list of contacts empty and after digging i found out they were moved to google contacts. I do not want this. I have disabled syncing also as a extreme measure i have disable background data but this doesn't seem to stop this behavior, the only thing i have found to get past this problem is to delete the google account.
is there a hint to avoid or completely disable contacts getting synced to google, there is no individual option to disable contacts sync only.
I hope i made myself clear. thank you

Just a suggestion:
There is an option in settings menu to enable/disable to backup some data to Google servers, such as contacts, wifi settings, etc.
Maybe you should check this option and disable it, if it is enabled.
Settings => Backup and restore => Save/backup my data
Good luck !
Mate if your contacts are geting saved on server then wats the harm..it's gonna help once you change to new phone.. That time you can get your all contacts back in few minuts by log in to your gamil account..however if you still wanna do it then Go to conatct >settings and then disable it from there..perhaps this can help you.

iam flashaholic an i always sav numbers on google server,it saved my life several times....
This has become a slight problem for me since getting the LG bluetooth headset.
When using the speak function (like "dial John Doe"), for some reason the dialer is misunderstanding me and gaining access to my facebook contacts' phone numbers and dialing some random person.
Under people app, I do not have facebook contacts added to my phonebook. Really confused on how it is gaining access to facebook contact's numbers...
Any suggestions?
If you go into the facebook app, under settings, under contacts sync, what do you have checked off? Make sure "all" isn't checked.
I had it set to sync existing. Though it seems it is still adding all the contacts to my phone under the facebook label. I thought sync existing only added those that I already had in my gmail. It seems its all or nothing....?

Hello
Is there any way to sort the contacts on the Watch when paired to a phone? On my phone all the contacts have been arranged and none have no names but I have double/triple entries for contacts left and right. I even tried re-organizing and merging contacts on the phone but nothing else works.
Anyone out there have a clue whats going on? or if there's a fix or a work around to just filter phones, actually force re-sync or is the contacts app just straight up broken.
solved it myself. retarded
caused by the contacts merge on Galaxy S6/S6Edge and +. Sooo had to search through all merged contacts or all contacts that weren't within a name (so loose contacts /emails/numbers) and delete them.. through the phone.
welp that sucked. but at least its fixed
