Hello,
I have just bought a new phone, HTC Desire X and there is something i don't manage to do.
When i go to contacts, i can hide or display the several groups of my gmail contacts.
When i go to phone, i see all my gmail contacts (with phone number).
It is possible to hide based on the group the contacts in the phone application? For some reason, i don't see it...
Already thanks!
I would suggest to create a new gmail account with no contact on that...only for accessing gplay.

I have a question about removing group from the phonebok that were already removed bij an app.
This is what happened:
I installed Contacts GroupU in order to give a lot of contacts the same ringtone.
Because I ran into some problems showing the groups in my phonebook I deleted them.
Now that I figured out how to show contacts in a group in my phonebook I noticed that the old groups are still listed under the Display Groups option in the phonebook. (Sync Groups)
I've installed 3 different group tools, but none of them shows the previously remov group.
Anyone who can tell me how to remove those groups from the list?
I also had some groups that were linked to Gmail, but after deletion there still in the list to.
Even though I do not see them in Gmail.
So I have the same prolem there.
Backup your contacts first. Then og in your gmail account with PC. Delete all contacts in gmail contacts account. Restore your contacts previously backuped.create your contact group again. Sync with gmail.. Done.

Thanks, that will fix my Gmail groups.
But I also have a few double entries under the Phone Contacts.
Any thoughts on how to delete those.
I've deleted them with Contacts GroupU but they are still visible under View Contacts menu - Display Contacts - Phone Contact.
Try make setting don,t auto sync. Actually I hate this auto sync feature too.
And in view contact just tick phone contact only. So changes we make in phone will sync to gmail contact. Not gmail to phone contacts

It is in View Contacts - Phone Contacts that I have double group entries.
I am not able to delete those double entries.
It looks like the apps I used didn't delete the groups properly.
So now I would like to know how to delete those entries.
I have all of my contacts stored in gmail contacts online.
In the course of trying to tidy up contacts on my phone, deleting duplicate/unnecessary info and 'joining' multiple accounts (mostly gmail, facebook and whatsapp) I had a bit of a Homer Simpson moment managed to delete all of my contacts (D'Oh!!).
Fortunately, as I said above I have them in gmail contacts online and had also exported them to my SD card as a vcard and so have managed to get them back (albeit having to tidy them up again).
Here's the thing though, when I go to the Contacts menu item 'Contacts to display' the contacts show when All Contacts or Gmail account are selected, but when I select Phone contacts in 'Contacts to display' the list is empty.
How do I move/copy my gmail contacts so that they are held in the actual phone memory and displayed if I opt to display Phone contacts only (i.e. no longer link to my gmail contacts)?
Cheers in advance,

I think what you need to is to sync your contact again. Contact to display is only show if your phone have a contact that is available in your gmail contact only.
copy contacts to phone only

I think you've misunderstood my original question. I have got the contacts visible when I view all contacts or view gmail contacts, but there is an option in the contacts menu to view contacts on phone only (i.e. not those stored in gmail contacts). When I use that option I don't see any of my contacts. Therefore, what I need to be able to do is copy the contacts across from gmail contacts so they are visible in the phone contacts only view, but I can't figure out how to copy them across to the phone.
Never had to do it on either my s2 or s3 before. I did do it on my old HTC via a menu option along the lines of 'Copy contacts to phone' but there isn't a menu option like that on the s3 unless I'm missing something obvious.
Anyone got any ideas?
Cheers.
Hi,
I've been using android device for about 3 years now and recently got a Nexus 4. I'm trying to figure out how to make my Google contacts as my primary contacts so that when I add other accounts such as Facebook, Twitter, Linked, etc, I want to sync contacts in my other accounts that are on my Google contacts only. I don't want any other contacts on other accounts to be downloaded. Is this possible?
Thanks.
I don't have it in front of me and tried a couple of different version of OS, but if I'm not mistaking if you go in the settings under your contacts (or maybe in accounts) and you should be able to select with contact/account to show. Personally I only have my google account so I only show those contact but if you have ie. facebook you can also choose to show those contacts as well. Or even only contacts with phone number so in this case I don't get all the contacts in you inbox.
You can also try my favorite app that can be highly customized. Go Contacts...

Thanks. I guess you were right about the option to select which account is shown in the Phone app. I guess my problem was in the Viber contacts. I had the setting to Show All Contacts unchecked because it shows all contacts from LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter which are not on my Google. I noticed that only the Starred in Android are shown if I had this setting. I could set all my Google contacts as Starred in Android but maybe there's another way of doing this.
Sorry for being difficult.
As it is, the HTC One will sync all my Gmail contacts without any ability to choose which groups to sync. This results in every person I've ever emailed from Gmail to show up in my phone dialer app as a contact.
I can choose groups to hide or display but this doesn't stop the syncing of these contacts and does not hide them from the phone app.
This is actually quite a deal breaker for me since I do not want to delete my email contacts from Gmail, I just don't want to see them on my dialer app. I can't imagine I'm the only person running into this issue.
Any ideas?
Hi all..
So I had a Google account register with my old msn email, but I decided to delete this Google account and register for a new one with Gmail, thinking that my contacts are preserved on my phone, but I switched off Sync function just in case. Somehow though, my contacts got removed from Contacts app. but they are still on the phone cause if I run the dialer app and punch in the first few numbers of any phone number that I remember, the app offers contacts suggestions, and I find the name and number of the contact I'm trying to call.
How can I get these contacts back and store them again on Contacts app?

I'd try another Contacts app like Go or exDialer and see if they show up there. If so, you should be able to export them via Vcard and then go back to the main Contact app and import it. If that doesn't work, it might be helpful to list which phone you have and on what update it's on in case there is something more specific to that phone/update that might need to be done.
