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?
I think this is the answer many of us are looking for to only have My Contacts Sync not all contacts.
Go to People->Menu->View->uncheck "Show auto Gmail Contacts" and "Google"
So you should only have Only contacts with phone #'s and Phones if you want.
Also here is a link to the Google Gmail Contact help section discussing this problem with 1.5 so a few things you will notice are different.

Hope this helps.
This solved the problem of syncing just My Contacts. This will not sync all contacts!
when i do it, it doesn't do anything.
with "Google" unchecked, the accounts sync doesn't do anything because the People app isn't even searching through my Google account for the contacts (but it is checked in the Data & Synchronization setting screen)
If Google is selected then it will pull All Contacts, The only downside to syncing Only contacts with #'s is if you only email someone they wont show.
See, Google expects you to keep your contact list clean and in good order. They figure that if you have a contact in all contact then you probably want them on all synced devices. So if you want it to work a different way you have to be tricky. This is an amazing phone and Android does have some limitations but we can't have everything. I also think that people would start complaining that this contact or that contact is on their phone if Android had to many options and one got switched on accident. So this is my work around and anyone that i know that I contact that doesn't have a # I put in a bogus one and then they show up.
i have a more shoddy way of working around it, though i'm experience problems with contact sync in general right now
what you could do is just use another Google account and use that one to solely sync your contacts. just export from your main account and import to the contact only one, and sync from there
however, my problem right now is that the phone won't do any sort of contact sync at all with contacts. anyone know why this might be?
Did you flash the 2.1 file? If so try to reinstall it.
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.
So I'm having this problem when I try to sync my Google account with WP7. The contact names comes up, but the numbers are all missing. What's up with that?
Me to same problem
had this issue at first, then i did a few manual syncs and it seemed to get all my contacts back in order how they should be. good luck!
From many backups and transfers across different phones and platforms most of my contacts are associated with multiple accounts. I always create them on the device and don´t sync with google or facebook or anything else. I use myphonexplorer to sync with outlook on the PC. I understand that a device based contact will also showup as a Skype, Google or Viber contact, since I use those apps.
That said, what I can´t figure is how to remove what I suppose is residual information from previous transfers between devices and accounts. When I edit a contact, sometimes other than the device tab it will have viber (which is expected) and google (expected when I have a google email for that contact), but will also have google tab on contacts that are not in my google account and the google tab will often show up twice. The only way I can clean up the contacts of the excess google tabs is deleting them and creating them again. 500+ contacts its a hassle, to say the least. Has anyone else experienced this and does anyone have a solution?
Again, these are not traditional duplicates, that can be merged: its duplicate information within the contact, having it saved on various accounts.
TIA for any advise
