Help in Contacts - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys,
I got all my facebook contacts numbers synced and it comes in contacts but its not coming as phone contacts. Only when it comes as phone contacts i can use them in other apps like Viber and Whatsapp. Its not practically possible add and each very number manually (1800 friends ). Is there any way to copy facebook numbers to phone contacts or likewise?

Google Contacts Filter

Hi
I sync all my contacts from contacts.google.com to my hero phone.
know I have some Contacts that I don't wanna have on my phone. (As example the Google Wave bots I added)
Is there a possibility to block/filter some contacts to not sync to my phone?
greets
in Google contacts, you can create a new group. Then select the contacts you dont want synced and move them from My Contacts group to your new group. Make sure the contacts are no longer My Contacts.
this works for me.

Problem with contacts

I syncronize my contacts from google and the contacts on the phone (pc suite)
The phone joined google and pc suite contacts in one and for split them i have to do one at one. The problem is that i can't show only google or pc suite contacts because they are joined, for do that i have to split them one at one.
And else:
If i have the number saved on the sim, the program on messages shows the sim contact and so no full name, no photo ecc...is all of that normal?

Maybe my wnglish was bad..i have no problem for a backup of contacts or photos.
I have 60 contacts, i exported them on a .vcf file, and i have them also on my google contacts. I reset the phone -> syncronize contacts all ok. Now if i import my vcf file as pc suite contacts the phone joins google contacts to google contact without asking. In this situation i cant on contact setting show google contacts or pc suite contacts because they are joined, and if i want to split them i have to do this contact at contact. Is this normal? There isn't a mode for split all contacts in one time?

Well, what I know, yes. You have to that manually, what I know. I had similar problem. But you can export contacts from google account into cvs, edit them and upload it again. In my case was My Phone Explorer great helper.
Also don't forget enable/disable synchronization of contacts during changes... it saves your nerves.

Yes, this is really stupid. Just download app Contact2SIM. Get all numbers from sim into phone (if you are not sure, that you have all contacts from sim in phone) and after that remove all SIM cotacts. Then you can store contacts on SIM again. This helps to me. After that, contacts from SIM is not listed and not used anymore, but they are stored anyway.

[Q] Multiple "Unnamed" Appeared In People Phone Book

I cannot delete these "Unnamed" contacts. I can hide them if i select not to show Skype contacts but this hides real Skype contacts as well. I need to delete "Unnamed" contacts somehow.

I think that you have to rename them from skype and the resync the skype contacts. You can't delete those from the phonebook, because they are just imported from skype. You can try setting to view only the contacts with number

You can try this: Sync your contacts with FB and Google. Go to your contacts app. Make sure the display options are such that both FB & Google contacts are displayed. Merge possible duplicates. Once all of this is done. From the contacts menu, export the contacts to SD card.
Now you've the contacts backup file which contains numbers, emails plus the the display pictures. After flashing new ROM, just import from this file.
