Sync contacts? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I use True Phone as my default dialer app. I have added a contact or two to that app and would not like to sync those contacts with the default contact app (because I can share the list of contacts from the default app with my PC). How can this be accomplished? Thanks.

[Q] how to organize contacts

does anybody know a good way to organize contacts? Google synced all my contacts together and now i have 1450+ contacts on my phone. (email, phone contacts, facebook, twitter). I want to just have the phone contacts with phone numbers. Is there a quick way to delete all the ones that just emails? Cheers
There is a setting in the contacts.
In the contacts you should have an image with 3 heads in it in the to right of the screen. Click on that and choose to only show contacts with phone numbers.

i know that works but i want to have an organized set of contacts instead of just seeing subsets of the mess
Add contact groups on gmail and tell you e-mail app on your phone to only sync the groups you want synced!

[Q] Which email for Gmail?? And a twitter question.

So, I'm a bit confused with the plethora of options built into this phone. In order to set up Google Play, I had to enter a gmail account. That partially populated email on the phone. But there's also a separate GMAIL program. I can't remember which was necessary before contacts and calendar stuff started to appear.
Am I better off sticking with the phone's email program for gmail, or using the Gmail program from within the google apps folder? What are the plusses/minuses?
Also, is it possible to import contact photos from twitter for name matches or by linking profile to contact name?
Thanks!
GMail app is better for GMail as it allows specific GMail features like the stars, etc
Maybe the e-mail app supports that, but I am only using the E-Mail app for exchange
I would say go for the GMail app!
Use gmail app.

Not all contacts showing up in default mail app

For some reason not all of my contacts are showing up in my default mail app but they are showing up in the contacts app. Is there an extra step I need to take to get them all synced? Fyi, the only contacts database I am using is through Google.

How do you stop the Facebook Sync from changing the default contact picture?

I have looked far and wide for a solution for this but can't seem to find one ..
I have contact pictures for my contacts that I have chosen and assigned to my contacts manually and are stored as the Google contact picture, I have an issue with the facebook app when it syncs a facebook profile picture update the application forces the contacts default picture to be the facebook picture.
I don't want it to do this, it can change the facebook linked contact picture but why does it have to change the contacts default picture?? Is there some way this can be blocked or stopped from within Android contacts??
This has been prevalent since before I can remember with the facebook app and sync so I'm hoping someone might have some ideas or solutions??
Surely submitting a bug to facebook is not the solution as we SHOULD be able to control and/or lock portions of our contacts details..
When you first time, install the facebook app doesn't it asks about syncing?
If I'm right, it asks like sync with all contacts, don't sync, sync with existing contacts or so .. like that.
I usually selects "Do not sync" and it will not be synced.
But I want to link the FB contacts to my Google Contacts .. just don't want it messing up the default contact picture..
