I'm facing the same problem.
I was already looking for a solution and the only suggestion I've discoverd was: export your contacts (as vCard) and re-import them from your google account (website)
This said, I should do this soon as well

I think I misunderstood the question. Anyway this is what I understand how "phone" and "addressbook/people" works in Wildfire.
1) When you key in a number to be saved, you will be prompted where to save, phone or SIM or Exchange (if you have an account) or [email protected] (if you have an account). selection of those will determine where it will be saved.
2) If you have accidentally saved it to your phone, you may not tranfer it to google contact except by manually inputting it into google contact.
3) For "phone" operation when you press the keypads, Wildfire will search in all the database whether stored in phone or SIM or Exchange or Google contacts, and display all that has been found, so you will see multiple similar numbers. So if you have same name in two database with different numbers, you will see two different numbers.
4) When you go to "people" the names listed depends on which "view" (the eye icon) is selected. e.g. if ABCD is in only in "phone" it will not appear if view is google. likewise if WXYX is only in Exchange, it does not appear if view is phone. However regardless what view you are in when you are in phone mode and press the keypads for ABCD or WXYZ, both will be listed.
5) you can sync your google contacts by activating the "Activesync" function (in Settings) - without having to connect your phone to your PC>
AFAIK.

I just picked up the Samsung Vibrant and so far I love it. I came from the myTouch Slide. Now, I have all my contacts entered into GMail so every time I switch phones I don't need to manually type everything in. With the MY3GS, it only showed the group My Contacts, but in the Vibrant, it shows all the contacts which I don't want it to. Is there a way to only show the group My Contacts? I also noticed that the FaceBook link is kind of annoying as well (need to enter first and last name for it to sync, no first names only)
In contacts, hit menu, then display option. Check the providers you want to see ( I assume your google account only) and uncheck the rest.

That's what I did, but it shows all my contacts in GMail as oppose to the My Contacts in GMail from the MT3GS
This is one of the big aggravations with Samsung's Touchwiz interface. The contacts app does not allow the listing of specific groups within Google contacts. Nothing can be done at this time.
I guess I'll live with it, I rooted the phone and flashed it to Eugene's firmware.

You. can do it from there: uncheck your phonebook, check the facebook contacts and delete them all, then re-check your phonebook contacts

I've got the same problem. I don't especially mind my Facebook imported contacts showing in the full 'People' list, but I do not want them cluttering up my phone dialler screen.
How do I make my phone dialler ONLY show the numbers from my 'real' contacts (i.e. just the ones I sync with Outlook)? I can't see any sort of View option in the Dialler screen menus.

Okay so i was just wondering if anyone can help me fix this little problem im having with my contacts when i text.
So whenever i go to compose a message and i want to add a contact, the contact shows up 3 times. For instance i type in "John" and it will give me 3 Johns all with the same number. I only have one John. So does anyone know how to make it just show the persons name and number once? Its not so much an issue but it just kinda bugs me. Im also not synced with google contacts or anything else.
Thanks in advance
I have the same issue also, very annoying..
ditto!!

Yea, same. Is it because we have more then one selected under the options for view when under the regular contacts.... IE---> Phone ---> Contacts ---> View

I dont think its that because i always uncheck all of them and only view contacts from the SIM. I noticed it on both the stock and ICE roms. maybe its a sense thing iono.
If you link your similar contacts, then this problem will be resolved. I think.....
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
yes, i believe linking your contacts together will solve this problem...
you are probably getting one number from sim and another number from FB.

The same thing happens to me when ever I factory reset or what not. Go to your contacts list, pick one of your duplicates, long press and select edit. Press menu key then select join. Pick one of the multiple names and confirm. Then select join again and select the last duplicate of that name. Confirm. Now when you go back to your contact list there should be only one of that name. Repeat for other contacts. Now if your having multiple names pop up when you text still, you need to edit contacts again and this time delete all the duplicates.

Those 2 methods should fix your problem until you factory reset. Rebooting your phone will not undo the changes, but again a factory reset will, ie, whenever you flash a new rom

Glad I Looked Here First
I was about to start a new thread defining the same issue. Got my G4 last week and experienced the multiple contacts on the native apps. Using "Companionlink" to sync my Outlook contacts with "DejaOffice". Works like a champ so far but it does seem like unnecessary duplication.

[Q] How to change the default contact save location from "Phone" to "Google"
I always forget to change the location before save.
Can i change the default location?
I remember that my old se arc can change it.
I'm pretty sure it asks you where you want to save when you enter a new contact.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
Not even sure why there is am option. Bugs me you can save stuff to the"phone" when it should be automatically saved to Google.

Can change Google to first order?
Ii always forget to change this setting when add new contact.
I don't have that problem. I only display my Google contacts and untick the other options. When I enter a number and save it, it automatically saves it to Google. :sly:

FWIW, it is my preference to exchange all email via an alternative mail server, for privacy and security.
My Gmail account does not exist on my phone, so there would not be a reason (for me) to use anything other than phone contacts, calendars, etc., bypassing Google altogether.

Yes I was having this problem saving new contacts. I thought it was a problem with root or my clean rom install them realized my contacts were saving to att phone book and new entries would not sync so I was entering the same contacts in practically every day. Had a duh moment them switched to my Google account to store my contacts.

When you tape the "+" button to add a new contact, you have a list of your contact storage places (phone, google, sim, etc...), juste switch to your google account to save your new contact to it

He wants to set in the built in Contacts app, that contacts save to his Google account by default. I looked in on your instructions, and there is no clear default there.
I wondered the same thing to.

Sorry, not contacts storage, but just plain contacts. Its under all apps. Scroll down and you will see "Clear Defaults". Next time you save a contact it will ask again which account to save it under and you choose Google this time.

It actually dosen't change. I tried it, and it remains the same. It just defaults it to phone contacts.
I just went to contacts, pressed the + sign to add a new contact, and it went to Google by default. Not sure why its not working for you.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
Hi,
+1, not able to change this, each time when I want to save a number the place by default is "phone" even if I clear defaults of contacts, phone or else app...On my previous GS3 I firts choose google and then is consied as default....

I have the same "issue", and this doesn't help either...
Weird that it's not the same for everyone !!
Maybe it depends on phone model ? I have D802 on my side.
Up!
Same problem here, default to saving to Phone Contacts.
D802 Asian ROM HERE
I have same problem
Please help
Going to Phone Dialer -> type in # -> hit Add to Contacts -> select New contact, the New contact window will pop up, at the very top, tap on the drop down menu, choose either Phone or Google or SIM. Do the rest.
