yet they cannot be found. I only see my Google contacts listed
Trust me, I don't want them there. I wanna start over, copy to the sim, import to the phone, (I did some clean up of the contacts0
But the app contacts 2 sim says there are 300 phone contacs, besides
the speed dial feature works and the individual ringtone feature works, both of which need contacts to be on the phone
So, they MUST be somewhere. Can someone tell me where they may be
I'd be most grateful
Thanks
Did you try going to Display Options at the Contact screen and playing around with the options there? Like, turn off Google contacts and leave the others on and see what happens.
Thanks Inat.
I have opened them all up
PHone,
Facebook,
Google Contacts
Sim
NOTHING
I am gonna believe maybe they are NOT There
Take off the Buddy speed dial Widget
Make all group ringtones I have set up to default
I took off the SIM card app, took it off, then will reinstall it again. Copy to Sim (good free app)
Anyone who has more ideas and can keep helping is most appreciated
is that app pretty good for that
Lastly, I heard from a guy at Nexus support, he mostly tries to find free apps for everything. YOu should never pay because 99% of the time there will be some for free. Do you agree. I am not saying he is against donations, for those who count on those, but I think he is clearly against clicking BUY for the first app he sees
go to main settings > accounts and sync > tap on your gmail account > uncheck sync contacts

I searched but did not see anything.
Just wondering what exactly the T-mobile account sync is for?
I know it is definitely for contacts but what else?
It added a lot of crap to my phone and i want to remove it but unfortunately i have to do a factory reset and im not interested in doing that right now.
I swear i love this phone, but i don't understand why they included all this crap with the phone.
I get that it is a customized version of Espresso but omg is some of this crap useless.
answer: mostly contacts, partially for the other bloatware crap they got in our phones
I find it so ridiculous that their is 3 different contact storage places tmobile, google(standard for android and shoulda been left this way) and the sim. What in the world is tmobile or htc thinking?? what is the point of this??
I agree man, i drove me crazy having the T-Mobile sync account! What it is for is your Mobile Backup (auto built into this phone unlike the last one). I have all my contacts on Google and link them to the people's Facebook, and that's what I like!
However, I noticed how obnoxious it was to have duplicate numbers for people who have a Google contact & a mobile backup contact. Also if you use the "Faves" function, it will auto create a t-mobile-based contact to sync with the website. So when you log in, you will click on "Faves" and see all of them there, in addition to Mobile backup.
I got pissed off, deleted everyone off mobile backup period, and backwards synced to my phone so there are NO mobile backup contacts. I said screw the "Faves" feature too because of how annoying it was. I really don't feel like I'm missing out seeing as Faves is just an upgrade to the myFaves UI for Android phones
It was a nice feature on BlackBerry as a backup of your contacts. It looks like it only syncs "faves" contacts now.
Well I added my Exchange account and Faceook so I have 5 kinds of contacts. If you press the button next to the Home when in contacts you can select "view" and tell the phone which contacts you want to have show up when veing contact by placing a check next to them. I have T-Mobile, Google, Sym Card, Exchange Active Sync, and Facebook options.
Hello, trying to help a friend who purchased an unlocked Vibrant, but is using his At&t sim card in the phone. He also believes the phone may be rooted.
Here is the problem, we double checked everything. Google syncs is turned on, all settings are correct. Auto sync of contacts is check marked. Yet, the phone will NOT sync his contacts from google into his vibrant. We also tried adding a new contact in the phone, and saving it to google contacts, which techinically should also now show the contact in the phone also, and it wont show up in the phone, but it does show up when you logg into google on the computer.
Anyone know whats going on? Thank you.
I would try a factory reset, if that doesn't work contact samsung for a warranty exchange. I can't think of anything else to try.
As far as I can tell, this is a real problem.
I posted this in the T-Mobile forum some time ago without resolution.
http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/Samsu...l-memory-not-syncing-UP-to-google/td-p/427413
For whatever reason, contacts in the internal memory or on the sim card, don't sync up to google. Contacts will sync down to the phone. As far as I can tell, there are three kinds of contacts: sim, phone, and google. None of these can mix or cross lines in anyway.
Its f'ed up, but you could take your sim card into the store, use another type of phone to sync from sim to google and then all your contacts would be there. Once they are there you are fine and should then save all contacts to google.
I am not sure why this issue hasn't gotten a lot of attention. Perhaps it is just on a view phones or just on a few networks. Not sure.
Sorry, just re-read your message.
Are you sure your display options are selected correctly? You have the option to show only show contacts with phone numbers, to show any or all of the three types.
That might be your problem. I have never had an issue with contacts in the cloud showing on my phone. Its really the other way around for me.

yes, when you go to google contacts through your computer and enter a new contact with a number, it should sync with the phone, but it doesn't
what could be wrong?
also how could he check to see if the phone is rooted or not?
^ download terminal emulator from the market and when you open it simply key "su" (no quotation marks). If you are rooted it will return a "#"... this is the absolute easiest method to determine if the phone is rooted.
Go to contacts and display options... uncheck everything but google and show ALL contacts (the check box above this), not just those with phone numbers.
Can he send an email from gmail and it show up pretty quickly on your gmail account? Has he actually logged into his google account on the phone?
Go to contacts and hit menu.
Hit "Display Options"
Make sure that "only contacts with phones" is not selected (just in case)
Also, make sure that "Google" is selected.
If it still doesn't show, go to the home screen, settings, and accounts and sync. Select your google account. When was the last time the contacts synced? If not recently, then select sync now and see if the number shows.
Hope that helps.
thank you, I will have him try this tonight when I chat with him

THANK YOU...thank YOU...THANK you.... it worked!!!!!!!!!!!
I linked my facebook up on my phone and even after DELETING the program it still links all my contacts.
So now, I have 500 people when i go to select a contact to text and when I type in a friends name 3 entries pop up.
Ive tried looking up stuff on google and even tried everything to unsync it and its completely unsinked and it still wont help.
HOW DO I GET RID OF THREE OF THE SAME CONTACT POPPING UP ON MY TEXTS?
Please help its making my phone unuseable i really loved this phone until this issue
Best to start fresh. Deselect the contact sources you don't want to sync. Go to settings/applications/manage applications. Hit the running tab. Scroll to find "contacts storage" app. Select it. Select delete data. This will erase all your contact data. You can then resync the contacts you want.
Swyped on my rooted MyTouch4G
ended up using a friends recommendation of contact remover/removal from the market nice free program
Here the fix it happen to me to:
Go to-Contacts-Views and choose only with phone number. I disable the facebook for my touch under options. You can disable the other choices you have there too. Hope this work for you!
I am having trouble with saving contacts. By default it is set to "phone" and everytime I have to choose my google account when saving account.
I tried deleting data in apps , "contacts, phone, etc,..." but still when creating new contact it is selected to save in "phone"
Has anyone any clue how to set default save location to my google account?
thank you!

Go into settings while in contacts, and uncheck the other options, leaving only Google contacts selected.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
Nope... doesnt work for me... I have checked settings /contacts to show / custom and unchecked all but my google account.
stilll when typing number and saving a contact or creating new contact.. default selected is "phone"
My Incredible 4G does that too. Annoying.

Go in to Phone orContacts settings, and then click "Contacts to display"
Select your google account.
It will then default to save on your google account. Obviously you will not see contacts from the phone or other accounts but I save everything on google so works for me.
cheers!
Nothing helps - searching since 6 month!

Nope, it will remain saving new contacts to the phone as default. I also have all my contacts saved to google, because i sync it with other devices. I'm realy wondering that only a few people complain about this issue.
If someone found a solution in the meantime - please let me know. Thanks
Same here
Not really a solution but FYI http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=50637743#post50637743

I have same problem but I don't know any solution for it at all. I though the KK update will make a difference but it didn't do anything. The problem remains the same in KK as it was in JB:crying:
Yip same problem here with no solution. Lost my contacts because of it. Really poor from lg.

It is not LG thing, It is KK to blame; Last update of KK (4.4.2) does ALWAYS default save location to "phone" It IS realy annoying !
you can choose google acc. from drop down menu when saving a new contact, but you have to do it so EVERY time you add new contact
P.S. And no, you have not lost your contacts: just go to settings in contacts app, then choose display contacts and select customize, then check google contacts and phone - voala
Add one more person who was wondering and getting annoyed with that... isn't it a bit strange that there's no setting to change the default contact location??
Anyway... is there a way to export contacts from the phone to Google? Say for example you're in a rush to add a bunch of contacts, can you somehow get them into your Google Contacts later on?
Guess I will try and add all contacts on a computer from now on.
One more person who finds this really awkward. It must have been the same before KitKat, because when I updated (and wiped my phone) I lost a few recently added contacts...
The same applies to the calendar, new entries are by default added to the phones calender, and I can't find a setting to change this.
Finally, whats up with the "recent calls"-menu? If I go there, I expect a list of the calls I've made, received and missed, in reversed chronological order. Going to "recent calls" on the G2... Well, I can't for the life of me figure out what it shows. I always have to go via menu and filter out either dialed, received or missed. It's idiotic.
I would be very happy if LG fixes this error in the next firmware version.
no one has found the fix yet?
its weird
When you save a new contact, you have an option above to choose . Phone Contact is default, you can also choose Google or SIM .
Hope this will help .
P.S Sorry for my english mistakes .
Problem still present in Lollipop...
No fix yet ?!

We already know this. We just want "Google" from the dropdown list as default, every time.
Still not resolving?..
Same problem for me...
Really annoying!!!
Seem impossible there's no way to trick it...
In Mi A1, I am not seeing any option to save newly created contact in phone or SIM, the only option is to save in google account. Also tried in google dedicated contact app from play store, but the option to save contact in phone or SIM is missing there as well in Google contact app. Anyone know any app or workaround to save contact in phone or SIM?
Use "LocalAccount" app from Play Store. Will do the trick.
That's be a use those options don't exist in stock Android. Sim cards in most places in the world have not been used for phone numbers in almost a decade so devices with it come with a separate app to make it happen
Contacts>>>>Menu then find 3 dots on top right corner and you find>>>>>Import\Export
Check this works
there is one way to save contacts in phine storage i.e first root your mobile and then by installing titanium backup,freeze google contacts sync.thats it your contacts will besaved to phone storage.
hope this helps.
This can't be for real ... is there still no way to store contacts on the device itself? What is Samsung doing that MIUI can't/won't?
I too was searching for this. There is no option in the mobile to do that.
Hopfully u could export all the contacts to SSD card and later use another Sim(new one), n
copy all contacts to it. U know phones before smart phones; were the ones that could do it.
