Hi
I got my SGS yesteday and synced with gmail contacts. Now issue is my gmail has over 2K contacts out of which 99% i dont know.
few contacts are just my frnds over gtalk but i dont know their phone number and neither i want them to be saved in phone contacts.
so if i delete contacts from gmail which i dont want in phone will those be removed from gtalk list too ?
im sure theres an option to only sync "contacts" which excludes email addresses and random crap you dont want....
i dont have that problem so i cant remember exactly how to do it, im sure someone here has solved the issue though...
someone guide me.i tried again and dont know what m missing...m not getting it the way i want.

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.
Hi sorry I haved searched but cant find.
problem for me is i have loads of contacts that have just email addresses probably from my MSN account, and they all appear in my contacts. I dont have phone nos for them so dont want them to appear.
They get transffered to my ford mondeo bluettoth sat nav kit, and i dont want my wife to see them!!! My girlfriend is coded as another name.
Anyway whats the point of having to scroll through email contacts when i cant phone them anyway.
Does anyone know a way to get rid of these from my contacts list. I have tried deleteing them but they seem to come back!
regards
Are you using the mobile phone's Windows Messenger ? That's the only time i encountered this problem. All my hotmail buddies got transferred to my contacts because i checked a synchronize option when starting Windows Messenger.
On my nexus one if u got some one full name as shown exactly as spelled on facebook and u sync contacts it ends up showing pics but on here it did few people and not all? i did it twice removed the account and resynced what could be the issue and in "view" its not checked for facebook for mytouch cause then i have duplicate contacts and ppl i really dont want anywya to link them or something?
It depends on what rom your using, but I'm gonna assume your stock everything. There's a way to sync every contact individually. I believe it goes like those contacts>contact u want to sync> menu button> edit contact> menu button >join or sync. Then you should be able to choose from ur Facebook list.
Helly guys, a friend of mine had the note 4. Aftwr some accident he wanted to backup the contacts to his gmail account. We navigated into phone contacts and tap move contacts to google..after the contacts moved (this what it said) we delete from the phone the gmail account..but then then contacts losr !! From phone, from phone gmail app, and from computer gmail site !! What happened ?? Can we restore the contacts ? I tried gmail restore method but didnt work !! Maybe contacts didnt move to gmail ? But thsn, why dissappeared from phone if not moved to gmail ? Someone help ? These contacts were very important for the guy's job !!

What you are saying is confusing to understand. Maybe you should try and do a better effort in explaining your problem ?
Sorry for that. He had some contacts on his phone and he wanted to format his phone. Phone contacts have an option "move device contacts to google" so we did that, supposed that they moved into his gmail account. After formatting phone contacts dissapeared not just from phone but also from his google gmail account on computer !! Can we recover them ?
Ok now I understand. I had the same issue on my fathers phone and I couldn't recover them. I think its a bug. After reflashing the phone we had to type each contact into phone on his Gmail account.
So unless they where stored on Gmail account to start with you are screwed as that stupid copy from phone memory to Gmail account bug hasn't been sorted out yet.
Bad news, ok mate thanks. If anyone else have some solution on this please help, all his work was on that phone contacts.
