Can someone tell me how to remove accounts from showing in the dialler. At the moment it is showing my email contacts there also and I just want to to my Google phone contacts.
Thanks
Still can't figure this out. If I go to contacts via the contact icon all is fine and shows just my Google account phone numbers there which is what I want however if I go into the dialler icon and swipe over to contacts it shows all email contacts s etc from other accounts.

Where are the Google contacts stored?
The only place I can see them is when I am creating a message and tap add contact. There seems to be all the contacts from my Gmail account many of which do not have phone numbers and some of which I wouldn't want certain family members to see.
I have tried every setting in contacts and accounts I can find but no luck. I have cleaned up my Gmail account contacts and did a sync hoping that would over write them but no luck.
Any help is appreciated.

Google Contacts are stored on your phone and Google server if I am not wrong.
Regards.
By default Gmail adds anyone you email to your contacts. This used to be so annoying to most people.
Sign into Gmail on computer, go to settings, general, "create contacts for auto-complete" and check off "I'll add contacts myself".
Now go to your Contacts and start deleting the ones you don't want.
As for where they are stored, they are stored on Google's servers and not necessarily on your phone. Any changes you make either on your phone or via the web are pushed and synced I'm real time.

I know they are stored on the phone and gmail account but where on the phone??
Can you see all the contacts when you hit the contacts tab in the phone menu?
If not then from within contacts Menu, More, Display Options and select the google contacts, under that there is a few options of what to display.
Why not try this last resort, remove your Google account on the phone and add it again.

You are the man.
Yep need google contacts on in order to see them in Contacts. Then delete them and turn off google contacts again.
Now I can rest easy.
Thank you very much
No problem, glad to help, found out the hard way too!

How to get contacts autofill in gmail
Hi,
I use viewsonic tablet with android 2.2 running. I have a gmail application installed . Whenever I try to send a new email or take a picture and want to send through gmail instantaneously, I get up to emal "To " field. In there it expects me to type the whole email address again. This is even true if I want to send it to my own gmail id. I mean to say that autofill of email addresses doesn't work. All my contacts is synched with gmail account and that show all the contacts which is available through my email account.
Is there a way to get around and get this autofill option enabled?
Thanks

Hi
Then I write SMS and have to point contact to whom send SMS. I open the list of contacts but in it I see not only my contacts from phone book but also my FB and gmail contacts. How can I do so that I would see only my phone book's list?
Thanks

where are you from? and what version n carrier u using?
Lithuanian but I did not understand the other part of question
Try this
Open Contacts>Menu>Display options, find Facebook and whatever account you have and uncheck the contacts box.
They are unchecked. In phone book my contacts are sync with my gmail acc contact's one folder. And in that place only that option is check. So in my phone book I see only contacts from my gmail acc folder, witch contais information about my numbers, but in sms I also see my other gmail contacts (to whom I have writen emails and so on) where is the problem?

OK I see what you mean. I think that's just how Android work.
Try Settings>Accounts and Sync>Look for different account and un-check "Contacts"
It did not change anything. In contanct list I still see all sort of things (emails, persons contacts and so one). ANd what I noticed that in this list there are all groups from my Gmail acc contacts. Then I want to see only one of it witch it is call Tel. I can do this by choosing in upper meniu Groups and so on then I have to point receiver of sms. Maybe where are more suggesstions?
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,
Rich
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.
Hello,
I had my contacts synced and all was dandy. I had some favorites in the widget too.
Now all of a sudden my contacts widget is empty and the only contacts I have on my watch are emails with no phone numbers or names. Sort of like my unwanted contacts list from google or something....
How did this happen and how can I fix this to bring my actual contacts back?
It seems like Gear S pulled in ALL my gmail contacts that I have ever received an email from. You can imagine this is alot... Not ones in my contact list, but anyone who I received an email from. Not sure what made the Gear S sync with my gmail contacts because I don't even have them listed as contacts in my phone or saved anywhere... even google contacts won't show them unless I type it in (which pulls it from gmail I guess)
