I posted the same in general, but no answer, o this is a re-post.
I do have some problems with contact list.
1. If I do have a same contact in 2 gmail accounts, facebook, twitter, skype, yahoo(added contact syncing to phone contact list now), outlook, msn, etc...
how can I join all under one name?, Maximum number of contacts can be joined is limited only to just 5!!!.
I think this number is too less with people having multiple similar contact lists in various accounts.
2. If my contact having multiple mobiles, multiple lan lines, I put a custom name for each number. For example, if for John "mobile office", "mobile home1", "mobile home2". If he call me it displays only John and phone number. I am not able to know, from which custom number he is calling!!
Your suggestions and any workarounds including via rooting please

Hi,
over the weekend I tried to set up a meeting and invite some attendees. Although the phone allows me to enter the email addresses of the people I want to invite, it wont le me add them unless they are in my contact list. it seems tha entering the addresses is only a 'look up'
this is hugely annoying as I often don't want them as contacts, it's just a one off meeting!.
anyone elses discovered this?
been searching all over the web and it seems that nobody else has even noticed this
While i do understand your frustration, you need to take into account that outlook sends a notice email after you add the attendees. So unless they are your contact list, it wont be able to send them an email. That's why it needs contacts.
For the moment its not possible...
exactly...so to add an attendee I add their email adress...but instead of just using this (like it used to when I had WM6.1) it now only uses the address to search for a match.
Hi.
I tried to link one of my contacts to his facebook account but instead it linked him to ALL my facebook friends so all their details showed up under his contact info dozens of emails, phones numbers etc. Going into his contact profile and "unlinking" these others had no effect, all I could do was delete my face book info from the Accounts and sync settings and this removed the extra contact info. However his contact is still linked to two other contacts (google contacts) on my phone and I cannot remove the links for these no matter what I try. Any suggestions.? I'm using Villain 5.2 ROM.
Edit:. Also contacts I create on the phone don't appear, but appear on Google contacts. Contacts I create on Google don't appear on the phone.
Thanks
I see that finially the fixed to where you can have other groups besides the default and they will sync with the phone.
However is there a way to prevent google from saving people you email frequently in your all contacts or frequently contacted.
I work with a few developers and componet suppliers from my personal email on occasion but i dont necessarily want their email address showing up in my contacts on the phone. I dont care that its on the site. I just dont want it on my phone. Its annoying because there is no name associated to it etc.
ok i have all my contacts linked to my Gmail account so i can transfer from phone to phone...it's been successful going from the BB 8900 to the HTC Tilt 2 and finally to the HTC Aria. 90% of them are contacts that are linked to my facebook account...ie friends contact pictures changes as they update their facebook profile pic.
but what i've recognized having this benefit is that when fwding or composing email in the Gmail app...it pulls the email address and phone number of everyone in my facebook friends list. folks i don't care to or ever will contact, that are not in my Gmail contact list. this makes for even a longer list of names to scroll through..especially using common letters as A or C..etc.
is there a way to turn to this off? i mean only have the Gmail email app pull contacts from ONLY my gmail contact list/those contacts listed on my phone only.
Also interested if there is a working solution to this, for similar annoyance.
I am using Note 3 for past few days, and it is becoming difficult to manage my contacts in 1 place.
I use many social applications like whatsapp, chaton, fb, twitter etc. and keep receiving new contacts from those places.
Also, keep adding new contacts manually or via different email applications (inbuilt email or directly opening emails via browser firefox/chrome).
Problem:
I want to keep all my contacts centrally in 1 place.. so I do not loose them.
Examples:
I added 2 contacts directly via whatsapp today someone shared the contact, after adding same to my contacts. 1 of them got added to my google account other did not, it got added to device.
Same happens when adding contacts via email addresses or social media apps.
Please guide your share your expertise, i am sure, I am not able to see things properly.

I have few accounts, list in order displayed on phone.
Device - 0 contacts
Sim card - 0 contacts
Whatsapp - (few contacts who use whatsapp are displayed here.. All contacts are present in google account)
google ([email protected]) (I have all my contacts stored in this account) (around 450 contacts here in different groups)
Exchange account ([email protected] this is primary/default email) There are many contacts here, which I dont want to add/merge to my phone, as this are business contacts and I only use them mostly for email. Many of this contacts also have phone numbers national/international both
Samsung ([email protected] using same exchange email id) Not sure how many contacts this has.
Facebook (More then 1500+ friends/relatives/business people here) Many of this friends are already present in my google account. I dont want to merge this data with my proper list.. as I never communicate with this friends on phone..)
Now.. when anyone sends me a contact via whatsapp or any other above accounts, it gets added to device or respective accounts only.. which troubles a lot..
I also want to sync only photos of people who are listed in gmail account (not all facebook contacts).
But next time, when I will do flash my rom.. it will disappear again !
Please help.. hope I am able to frame the question/problem properly..
Since I last upgraded to lollipop, all the photos I had for contacts are lost (as google does not syncs photos on gmail or google people)
