Hi everyone. I have some trouble that there are some copies of every contact in my phonebook. It seems that Sim, Phone and Google contacts are displayed. I just want to see only Phone contacts for example when Im choosing people to send sms... How to??

If you press menu and show, you can choose which contacts to see. A tip: sync with Google contacts only, and edit your contacts from Google contacts on your Pc. You can merge contacts etc.

Hey all,
So I have the Rogers Dream, and whenever I go into my contacts app, it doesn't show any of my contacts. However, if I wanted to send a new text to someone, I can start typing a letter or whatnot and it will show their name and number perfectly. How do I go about correcting this issue?
Also, how come my dream won't sync to my PC? It only sees it when I activate the USB mode, I want to be able to sync my contacts over to my PC. How can I make this happen?
Thank you for your help!
Ok, on the phone open up the contacts app. Hit menu>edit sync groups. Make sure sync all contacts is checked. Hit ok. Menu>display group select all contacts and hit ok. If your contacts still dont show up then you need to get on your computer and log into your gmail account and check to see if you have contacts listed there. If there are no contacts there or not the right ones im guessing your contacts are on your sim card. If this is the case then in the contacts app menu>import contacts.
There is no real sync to pc option on the Dream. Your contacts, calendar, etc. are all synced automatically with Googles servers. If you want access to that info on your PC then you just have to log in to your gmail account and you can see your contacts, calendar, etc.
Hey thanks for the help with the contacts not showing up, I just had to change the view mode from All to Contacts with numbers and then back again. It must have been a glitch.
Anyways, since I can't sync them in the terms I am thinking, how can I send the contacts back to the SIM card? I have yet to see an option for that
Is thee a way to change my phone contacts to google contacts?
Under the edit options, there is no option =(
go to
people
all (first screen)
press menu
select view
select google
Tried that, but wont change my phone contacts to google contacts, will just display google contacts.
I must add i have a MyHero ROM
have you synced your phone with google??
Syncs only the contacs that are under google contacts.
mmmm
my phone just sync all contacts
mabe you need all your contacts moved to sim then sync
there is an option to import you tried it??
ill try =) thanks
don't think thats possible as yet,i used contacts to sim app from the market but all that does is sync your phone contacts to the sim not to google
How in the hell do I get my phone contacts to sync to Google? I tried settings_accounts_Google sync but it only pulls my gmail contacts to my phone. I want to put my phone contacts to gmail. Backup assistant works fine, but some of the custom roms out don't use it. I can't find any info on this. HTC told me when I create contacts and choose Google instead of phone that they will sync. What about the 80 or so that backup assistant did upon activating my phone? And also, if I save future contacts as Google contacts and not phone contacts, does backup assist still back these up too?
In phone book hit menu and export contacts to sd card. This will give you a file that can be used to import your contacts on gmail.com

or just go to backup asst online.. vzw.com/backupassistant, and then export your contacts to a .csv file..which you can then import into google..doesnt take long.
In order to get the ones already saved in your phone to sync to google I think you're going to have to go with one of the options they said since I dont think there is a way to change them from phone contact to google contact.
However, when you add new contacts there is a drop down toward the top that you can change from phone to google so that after you save them it will sync automatically.
So if I import them to Google, it will sync. I get that. Now if I add new contacts as Google contacts does backup assist still back them up also?
I noticed that some of my contacts have their Facebook pictures associated with their info and there is a little Facebook icon on the contact.
Where are those contacts coming from? Is it pulling the contacts from my Gmail account and if an email address matches one of my Facebook friends it links them?
I'm just really confused. Also if I edit my Gmail contacts on my computer how do I get them to update on my phone? I deleted hundreds of "junk" contacts and they're still on the phone.
The facebook pics are pulled from facebook when the person has their number listed and u have the same number as a contact. To get rid of the junk contacts make sure every contact u need is synced to gmail then delete all ur contacts and resync from gmail.

In contacts, click the icon in the upper left that looks like 3 people and disable your facebook contacts from showing in the contacts screen.

hi!
i want to sync facebook accounts only with people on my phone app. but, when i active sync (facebook app / for htc sense) it just add alot of people i dont want in my phone book! i chossed to sync only with existing contacts. the facebook names are in English and contacts name are in Hebrew. so i want to go each contact and link it to his facebook account. now it will add alot to my phone book i cant even delete....
some1 have this problem? how i fix it? i had this problem with all roms! (and i used alot! from 1.32 base and up to kingdom base)
If you press menu, and look for "View" or "Display options", in Settings I think, you'll see that you can change which contacts you want to view. Facebook, Phone, SIM, Google. If you deselect Facebook, it takes all those contacts away, leaving you with the rest, which will still be attached to Facebook.

I had to copy all my contacts from my sim then facebook would sync photos and info across gradually
Thanks 2 of you, but i have display only on people application. im talking about phone application.
and my contacts are on google. and i can sync the contacts (manually), but there are atill more contacts i dont want to see there....
What do you mean by phone application? Your phone app gets your contacts from the People app, straight and simple. Please elaborate
