i'm new to rooting, however i managed to get my phone rooted and got cm7 up and running on my own, i'm having one small issue, when i goto contacts i have only like 8 contacts there, however i should have 137 contacts, now they are in the phone as i can search for them and find them, however they do not display in the list.
i go to
contacts
settings
display options
i'v turned off contacts with phone only
then selected my gmail account and checked all
then my cloud and checked all
still only shows 8 contacts
when i log into the cloud via my pc, it shows 137 contacts, also if i search on my phone it locates contacts not visiable in the list...
anyone experience similar bugs??

not really a bug, i don't think, more likely an issue with how the contacts were saved to Google or sync'd to the dx2

clarification
so has anyone been able to import their contacts properly?
just want to know if i should spend hours that i dont have, working on something that cant be done??
i can workaround it, using search
but it would be nice to have the list in one peice..
are there any know contact apps that can be installed that MAY override my current list or use in lieu of..
phone is a DX2 (MB870) running CyanogenMod 7.2.0-RC1 X2 [BETA] ?
Most people have no issues with contacts, but it happens.
at google.com/contacts are all contacts under "My Contacts" or other group?
sometimes rebooting phone may fix
exporting contacts to sd card and re-importing them
export contacts from google.com/contacts (more>export) as a .vcf file, place on sd card and re-import them

Hi
I have a question regarding facebook sync. Some of my gmail contacts have different names than on their facebook accounts. For example, "Jacob Chan" might be "Jake C" on Facebook.
After facebook syncing on ICS, they now appear as two contacts in the People app. Is there a way to work around this, aside from changing my gmail contact name?
I'm on Pete Alfonso's Nexus S ROM and Ezekeel's Glados 2.6 CFS kernel.
Thanks!

No the names have to match 100%
Well... you could just join the contacts ? Edit Contact and then Menu->Join
This way, you merge duplicate entries and get to keep the Gmail contact name
Edit : If you were looking for an automated way, then I dont know of one. HTC sense has really amazing contact matching. Maybe there's an app on the market that can do the same thing ?

Oh wait.. just remembered. GO Contacts Ex. It has options to find duplicates using names, phone numbers and email id(i think). Havent tried it on ICS though.

For some effed up reason while editing an already existing contact android decided to take a rotten fart on me and every single one of my contacts and delete all them...
How can I get them back even the funambol way doesn't seem to wanna work right since this happened. It starts the import then imports then only 3 already existing contacts show up. None of my funambol contacts.
I just wanna take a brick to the face of whoever created the crappiest contact manager ever for android, import them through gmail then ya got to edit the numbers so on and et cetera, all pure horse crap rubbed in the face of every android user.
I've got them all backed up on my HTC HD2 Windows Mobile through Turbo Contact Backup as an xml file, but a lot of good that does me for my Dell Streak Mini if funambol doesn't wanna play nicely with others.
Any help would be great!
Finally got my contacts back, but now when I go to add a new contact, I have a bunch of "(Unknow)" contacts nothing in them or anything and they only show up when adding a new contact.
How can I get rid of these?
Have u ever thought of using a gmail acct to backup ur contact? U can also edit ur contacts thru the gmail and they will sync directly with ur phone.

ok...u want to be a smartmouth with me after i may have misread some of your post? do you look at your contacts in gmail through a pc? all your contacts should be there... if they are not properly syncing onto your phone, reset the sync option on your phone.. then reboot your phone and try it again.

Using HTC HD2 [Windows Mobile 6.5 Stock, Ubuntu and MccMBoXMaX SD] and Dell Streak (Mini) 5 [LXdroid 2]
is mobile 6.5 what your using?
My setup now is mainly Dell Streak (Mini) 5, I had to download contact remover and select all then unselect my contacts and click delete all selected. I don't use Google Contacts yet, due to past incompatibility issues, my contacts really need a cleaning, now invalid tags and what not from WinMo address book, but I'm to lazy to clean up 300 some odd contacts.
Had 1000 blank (Unknown) contacts that couldn't be seen by most android contacts handlers, if I had tried syncing then I'd have had that in gmail too not just my android phone book... I still say google has a lot of work to do on handling contacts.

Dude. Enter contact into phone, sync with google. Never worry about losing contact again. How hard can that be?

Hi You can use Excel to view your contacts stored in XML.
then you can save that file as CSV, most compatible with all devices while restoring the contacts...

Instead of using a import/restore app for your contacts, you could always sync it to your google acct and it will automatically restore once you sign in during initial google setup...

I have similar problem where all my contacts have been duplicated and then there are contacts with no phone no.'s. Isnt there a way to group the accounts or delete duplications?
-Phone > contacts > visible contacts > Show all
-Export all your contacts to a .csv file. (on the sd card)
-Delete all contacts: phone, sim, Google and others (tango, Whatsapp etc.)
-Log in to your Google account and import your contacts from that csv file you created. I suggest doing this on a pc.
Now, in Google, you can manage your contacts by editing, merging or marking all and deleting duplicates (if there're any)
Your phone will automatically sync all your refined Google contacts and of course Tango, Whatsapp, Viber etc. will get that contact list and everything will be synced and perfectly set up.
Then it's up to you what contacts you want to have in the contact list and whether you only want to show "phone numbers only"
Saving contacts on phone or sim card is a bit old school
I'd like to recommend, like y2quila suggested, using Google for contacts because it's reliable and painless. It's also a great time saver, especially when changing phones or in case you lose your phone or sim card. All you have to do is logging in to your Google account and voila

If your contacts are already on Google then log in to your account and mange them by marking all and deleting duplicates. If they're not on Google I suggest doing so by exporting them to a file on sd card or pc and then importing them in Google and doing as suggested.

this's what i did
i view all contacts together and then upload them to google account then locate contacts.google.com and there i edit them so i start search in my contacts for example i seach ( @yahoo ) and delete all ( @hotmail ) and delete all etc etc then for facebook contacts i hade to chose them one by one you can see them names without numbers i also select them manualy
but after all i have a problem with whatsup messenger when installing i get error about android.acore.proccess crached and after a too many retries i get it installed and even so after installed i get every 15 sec the error message so i think ur problem is def than mine so i hope u get help
and another thing managing the contacts from contacts.google.com is easier becuase when ur done deleteing non numbers accounts select them all and from option menu click on find duplicates and then remove them or search google play store for duplicate remover
https://play.google.com/store/search?q=duplicate+contacts&c=apps
a little note about XDA fourms : this fourm is to show off don't believe there's a smart people here because this post has been here for 3 days and no one help you can find here a people smart enough to make roms and mods but in little problems like this they see the post and run away so try to help ur self like i did.
I can't edit my contacts unless I'm in airplane mode. When the phone is on the "Connection" section of all contacts has an icon of a SIM in it and I can't edit them. When in airplane mode the "Connection" section of all contacts has the icon of the Phone in it and I can edit them. Is this normal for the Verizon GN2? Anyone else seen this?

I just looked and Menu->Contacts to display in the Contacts app has the options: All Contacts, SIM, Phone, my Yahoo email address, and Customize list. When I long press on the SIM option there are no contacts, however Customized list option has the bulk of them. Not sure how they got there. I synced 2.5 months ago from Gmail and I made no choice at the time that I can recall. Wondering how I can move them to Phone.
An odd thing as I stated above is that an icon of a SIM appears in all contacts except when Airplane mode is off and I can edit them.
I would try to just delete all contacts and re sync then from Google. Mage sure they are whisky saved to Google first or Getty sort backup from the playstore backup contacts sheets them and take and it should let you pick Google to restore them to.

I discovered that at least when you import from USB (the external card) you don't get options to transfer contacts from SIM, Phone, SDcard to within each other. No question was asked about where to place the data. Not at least with my stock ROM (with root).
However I imported a backup from the external card (USB) (with the contact data in the state I mentioned in the OP) and I was glad to discover that all contacts are now once again editable while the cellular radio is enabled (it's not in Airplane mode). In addition there is now a Phone rather SIM icon visible in the Connection section of all contacts. Thanks.

Hi
I have downloaded the Contact app by Google and added all my contacts in 2 categories.
The issue is that there is a default contact app and when I click on the "telefon" button and try to choose the contact, the default app is used instead of the one from Google.
I would like to have Google one as default..
Is there a way to avoid this confusing conflict. I run the latest MI updates.
The contact are no longes synced by MI Cloud as I disabled my account some days ago.
Thanks in advance
Is this the wrong forum or am I lucky that noone can asnwer?
Maybe you should check at the app, 'cause I'm using Google account to store my contacts. No problems, though I have other accounts beside

You realize that miui dialer and contact app are dependent to each other as they are integrated. And yes, this is the wrong section to ask your question. You should have posted it under Q&A section.

Disbale MIUI Dialer and Contacts both and install Google Phone as well, it will work in conjunction with Google Contacts
