What about saving your contacts list? Is it possible to save your contacts list which is on your phone? I am talking about the C500..
I hope someone found something on that, got more than 450 contacts on my phone..
Cheers,
Cyber

Guys
Does anybody else have a problem when composing a sms that when typing a recipient some contacts are duplicated (two of each) in the scroll list that appears and also contacts that I have deleted keep appearing (although they are no longer in the people app or synced with google.
In the people app I have unchecked Google and Sim contacts so I am not sure why this is happening?
any clues?
Yes. It is. In the appointment too I got 5,6 repeated duplicates. May be... I think it is because Tattoo sync with Google Calendar besides Outlook calendar, and even Google calendar & Outlook Calendar (2007) they maintained a no. of different calendars like My Calendar and outlook ... and... So, these things created duplicate entries at some points of conflict or something.
This is really annoying.
I wonder if this happens on the hero as well - it runs the same htc sense and htc messaging app - it could be worth posting this in the hero forum as well
ok the plot thickens on this one - I just used HTC sync with outlook for the 2nd time since getting the phone to see if that would get rid of the duplicate contacts in the messaging app.
Guess what - after the sync ive now got three of evry contact showing on the drop down list. Ive got a feeling that syncing with outlook is causing this.
The only way I can think of getting around this is to master reset the phone then only sync with gmail. Ireally dont want to have to do this - anyone got any better suggestions?
I saved all my contacts on the phone and deleted everything on the sim to get rid of the duplicates.

But actually it is not the question of duplicate from sim and phone.. I never save anything on sim... actually it happened while sync with MS Outlook 2007. But never complain before because I always sync with two PCs, one at home and another at my workplace.. and now it also sync with Google.. may be conflict from that...just guessing...
Anybody have some good explanation is welcome.
Just to let you know, this also happens on my HD2, the contacts from SIM and phone are displayed in messaging. This seems to be happening right across the board with sense. There must be a registry tweak or something to correct this? Anyone?
I know how to fix this

You copy all your sim, phone, twitter, facebook contacts to Google first...
Then delete contacts from all other accounts except Google.
Now if your syncd with google, you can open the contacts within gmail ( would be good if you do on PC ) and use the 'find duplicates & merge' button.
i had around 700 contacts which duplicated many a times to some 3000....
this saved me alot of effort...
refer to ScreenShots... Hit Thanks
after everything is merged in google, do you just leave everything not saved on the phone and sim, or can you import them back to the phone and eliminate the duplicates?
Hi! I tried importing my gmail contacts into my hd2, all the names are there alright, but no numbers are saved on any of them. Is there anything I need to do first so all the contacts and details get imported?
My contacts came from my first gen iPhone. The contacts appear just fine on my gmail account, but after importing them to the HD2 all I have are names.
I'd appreciate any help you guys can extend me. Thanks!
Oh and my phone keeps on freezing whenever texts arrive. Sucky.
I can not figure out how to just sync the 'My Contacts' group instead of ALL the gmail contacts. I have 3000 contacts and I don't want them all. I also can't figure out how to sync groups at all.
Anyone solve this problem yet?
the best I have seen is to check "only show contacts with phone numbers".
that's just not going to get it done....
I can't believe I am the only person who has this problem?
Nope, you're not the only one. I, too, have this issue and would love to get the original contacts app back (the one where I can select which group of contacts should be used from the list of contact groups defined on google)
I hate the new Contacts app..
I don't have a SGS, but if your rooted couldn't you remove the current contact.apk and grab the original one from a stock build an install it via ADB or such?
Just throwing out ideas to help.
You are not alone in missing this! I find this very annoying after creating a trim my contacts list in gmail and syncing that with the g1. Samsung better fix this oversight because I haaate scrolling through my hundreds of contacts!
Did you guys overlook, that you also cannot assign a ringtone to your contacts that were synced from G1 to Gmail to Vibrant? Cannot put your gmail contacts as groups. Also, the checkbock for send directly to voicemail is gone.
for now..
.. I installed aContacts from the market. It isn't great, but it makes life a bit easier.
I have my contacts displayed perfectectly just having gmail showing.
Now when I go to send message (handcent) I see duplicate numbers! Also only some numbers display the contact picture when it has a pic from facebook synced in contacts.
How do i fix this.
I had this same issue and I just deleted all of the contacts that were on my SIM... Might want to look into that.
This is a limitation of the underlying way in which touchwiz handles contacts. There is no way to limit contacts to just a particular label in Goog contacts. All contacts are shown. In the Contacts app, you can filter the listing somewhat, but when some other app or some selection dialog appears, all the contacts are shown.

probably the easiest, not sure about the only... They are really not needed on your SIM tho. Just make sure that any contact that is not saved to your google contacts is saved there before you delete it off your SIM.
ughh i deleted all the sim contacts still having the issue. I think maybe it was faceoobk issue so I mune settings accounts and sync and unsync facebook contacts but everything is stilll there.
I got contac2sim app to delete the sim contacts worked good. I saw that it says 479 contacts on left and 0 sim contacts....now i only have 211 contaacts in gmail.. there are no contacts on phone, so facebook must be doubling them
EDIT - The facebook contacts are linked actually wtf. If I click link contact them i go to link the same one that person not there..im goin crazy.
Figured most of it out
The contacts were deleted off the sim but phone didnt recongnize it until I shut it off and removed the sim card.
Once i put it back and it worked and contacts were cleaned up
i guess now the only thing would do is merge gmail and facebook contacts
anyone know how to do that
My DHD can sync contacts down from Google.But If I add a contact on my phone it doesn't add the new additon online to my google account. Is this an android shortcoming or something I can do?
Thanks!
You have to save the new contact as a google contact, not a phone contact.
thanks, that option is availble for new contacts, but no apparent option to change an existing to a google contact?
Think when you look at a contact you can press in the upper right corner to make it a google contact. Or you can only show phone contacts and copy them to google contacts.
That option just links to other contacts. Maybe its another bug in the latest update? Thanks for your suggestions
Just a thought... What's wrong with just using the easy to use freeware Windows app MyPhoneExplorer to backup all contacts, notes, callendar appointments to your PC? Why risk broadcasting more sensitive info into the public domain (ie the internet?). I mean telcos here are Australia are known to hold txt messages on their servers for at least a few months (who knows maybe they store all your txt messages?). Also some have services that can backup all your contacts. I just question what could happen to this info in the wrong hands.

I dunno?....all sounds a bit paranoid to me. anyone with the technical know how to intercept my data over the air and decode it probably isn't intrested in getting thier hands on my Auntie Mary's home number or dave from the nags head's email address.
Govenments keep texts and emails in the intrest of national security. I don't mind if thats going to stop my head being blown off by terriorsts. The Telcos probably don't have the time to sit there going through everyone's text messages and looking at what kinky gear they've bought from ebay. I wouldn't get too bogged down in that.
Is there a way to change an existing contact from a phone contact to a google contact?
Thanks

As far as I know, there is no direct way.
If you have a lot of contacts to change from "phone" category to "google" category, a workaround is to export your contacts to sd, then import the vcf file from the sd into google on your pc. Then the contacts will sync down to your phone as google contacts.
