Googled a bit and found this solution which worked for me
First, press menu and go to "settings" - click on "Accounts & snyc" - uncheck "background sync" - now use your back key to get back to the screen where you saw "Accounts & snyc" and then click on "Applications"
Locate "Contacts Storage" - if you can't find "Contacts Storage", click menu again and select filter, then select all - open the "Contact Storage" and click "clear data" of "Contacts Storage"
Get back to the first step above and recheck "background snyc" -it will start to snyc and take anywhere from 2 minutes to 15 minutes.
Good luck mate

Does anybody have any idea on how to make GMail the default contact save location? I had 3 options - PC Sync, SIM & Gmail, the default contact save location being PC sync.
Using Titanium Backup, I froze the "PC Sync 1.0.8" service. This removed PC Sync from the above 3 options. But I am Still left with the rest of the 2 options, the new default contact save location being SIM.
Tried freezing the "com.lge.simcontacts 1.0" service. But this doen't remove the SIM option from the contact save locations. It just disables adding new contacts to sim BUT THE OPTION STILL APPEARS AND REMAINS AS THE DEFAULT ONE.
Please help.
Why doesn't anybody answer? Is it because no one knows the answer or because I am the only ignorant person on board here?
I would also like to know how to do this!
Seems like we are the only two guys bothered by this problem.
I've had this trouble as well and not found any answer. You just need to make sure you select your Google account when adding new contacts.
no idea try to search the forum
Still waiting for the answer.

Being arrogant like that will NOT get you an answer, it will convince people to NOT give you answer because you are pissing them.
Sorry, my friend, but that is not arrogance but my frustration coming out.
You should be nicer... i dont know the answer but when i create a contact i choose pcsync and it goes to my google accaunt as well...

Do you mean to say that when you chose pc sync as the default contact save location, your new contacts are saved in your google account and on your phone simultaneously?

It should be! After i imported by hand my contacts (on .CSV format) to my gmail account they went to a place in google contacts called "My Contacts" -Note that at the time i was uploading the contacts list in CSV format i said to move it to the said "My Contacts" place!
Then i turned my phone's wifi on and it synched my Gmail contacts onto the phone! after that on "Display" i put PCSynch off , SIM Contacts off and on Gmail i put only show "My Contacts"!
Since my phone is showing my Gmail contacts, whenever i create a new contact (usually on PCSync i never bothered to change it :x) when i turn my gmail on or the android starts synching with google the contact apears on my google's "My contacts" list and therefore it pops back to the android contacts list!
Or so it worked for me! Some ppl say they didn't have that much trouble but hey... i had all my contacts on PCSynch and couldn't synch them to google before and now after all the hassle of importing them by hand... now i can!
Does not work for me. if I add a contact to pc sync, it still doesn't appear on the google contacts list. Have you installed any other application which helps you sync pc sync contacts with google?
Has anybody found out a way to do this yet?
The solution is still evading us. I hope that some developer sees this and provide a solution.
Your question is a a little confusing but I think this is what your after:
To set contact default to Google go into you contact list then press menu and choose view next uncheck the box that says "phone" and now your default is 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.

Sorry to ask such a simple ?? but I have googled extensively and looked on this site and cannot find anything. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to CHECK ALL emails in my email package for a bulk deletion ? i THINK lg MAY HAVE OVERLOOKED THIS TINY BUT VITAL procedure ? I can bulk select contacts if i want to do something in my address book but not in emails ? Am i missing something ? What a silly oversight if they have missed it
I suppose you mean Gmail by your "email package". Have you tried pressing the Menu hard key and looking for a Multi-select option (I don't use the Gmail app, so I'm not sure how it's worded)?
are you using the GMAIL app, or another email app? I use the gmail app from the market and all i have to do is tap the checkbox beside each email, and then select delete. all gone.

Yes that is exactly right. I can do that no worries.
HOWEVER !
What happens if you want to to delete dozens and dozens of emails (as in my case with business communications etc ) with one single click rather than going through and selecting each individual one ? How in god's name do you CHECK ALL.
I have the CHECK all option in contacts !!
Try other email clients like k9. Or wait for ice cream sandwich.

So unfortunately I don't have a lot of information to go on here...but ever since setting up my sgs3, my SMS messages have been showing up in my email client...which kind of makes the email client unusable. I don't suppose anyone has any idea why this is happening or how to fix it?
Could be a couple different things.
1. The mail client has a "converged messages" view, make sure you only have your email account selected from the drop down.
2. did you install an SMS backup app that might be forwarding your SMS to your email account?
1) It actually sent the SMS messages back up to my exchange server...so when I did webmail, my SMS messages were showing up in the webmail client
2) I do have an SMS backup app, but it explicitly goes to my gmail, not to my exchange email.
I had the same happen. It went away when I did this:
1. Phone settings
2. Accounts & Sync
3. Select your exchange account
4. Under "common settings", select "settings"
5. Under "added accounts", select the account the sms come in under
6. Scroll all the way to the bottom, under "server settings" and deselect "sync sms".
I'm not smart enough to know why this worked, but it did.
I'd love to know why this is here...

First, you can do it from Gmail (yes, gmail). Go there on your PC and click on the Gmail text in the left side, above the Gmail contacts. It will let you select between gmail or contacts. Select contacts and you'll be able to edit your contacts from there (got also a "remove dilapidates" option. There are also instructions for this inline - Google "android contacts from gmail".
Or search for duplicate contacts on the play store. There are dozens of apps for that. Don't forget to backup your contact list in advance.
