I seem to have 300 Contacts on the PHONE

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

Gmail not working

I don't know if this a problem with gmail its self or my phone but gmails keep getting stuck in out box and not sending and when deleting read emails they somehow reappear in my inbox as if I didn't delete them.
Sometimes I can't view all my emails, it says ( 1 ) for example but it won't show it no matter how many times i refresh. I have my gmail account synced with SE sync and I'm really puzzled to why this is happening. Anyone else got the same?
Iv tried doing a master reset twice this week on the phone ( x10i with latest fw r2ba26 rooted ) and this has not helped.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App

I had the same problems and I found out eventually what has been causing them.
I will try to explain, but keep in mind, my english are not perfect!
So, Gmail works via the Google Cloud, which means that you need to be constantly connected to the internet so that you can get notification and/or send mails. Under Settings>Synchronisation the Gmail should be ticked in order for that to work.
However, if you don't want to use the cloud thing (untick the Gmail option), you can still use Gmail.
But in that case, you need to manually ask Gmail to connect to the internet.
So, after composing a mail and hitting Send, you need to press the Menu button and choose Refresh. That way your mail will be sent.
The same applies when you delete an email. You need to hit Refresh for that too.
Also, after reading an email, you should hit Refresh in order for it to be marked are read.
As for the "unread" mails that don't show up, sometimes they "get stuck" in the cloud and not marked as read, after you have actually opened them.
If you open Gmail on your PC, or on your phone's browser, you will see the mail that hasn't been marked as read.
Hope I helped!

I understand what you are saying, your english is fine The thing is i do have gmail sync turned on within the settings and even if i keep pressing refresh nothing happens about the ones which i delete or have read, makes absolutly no differnce apart from anything i deleted will come up as unread again.
I have just reflashed my phone with SEUS and 'repaired' so we'll see if that helps.
Thanks for the quick reply by the way

While googling your issue, I came across this interesting discussion, take a look!
And to save you a little time from reading, someone said that this solved the problem:
I was final able to fix this by doing the following:
Settings>Applications>Manage applications>All>
Then scroll down to 'Gmail' and select it
Then select 'Clear Data'
When you next open Gmail it will re-sync your mail. It cleared up my problem. This wipes out all of your Gmail settings, so you will need to set up your ringtone and notification options if you had made any customizations.

Thanks very much I have just finished flashing and have set up everything how it was before. I shall do that now.
Thank god for titanium back up lol

For People Having Problem With Facebook Contacts Pictures Sync etc [SOLUTION]

This worked for me; let’s hope it works for you...
Problem:
After a lot of messing around, my contacts appear to be synched with Facebook and are showing Facebook profile pictures and so forth. However, when I receive a text message from one of these contacts, their picture does not show next to the text message.
NOTE: This solution may fix other problems you are having with Facebook sync, what you have just read was my particular problem, so give it a go, might just work for your problem too.
Solution...
1. Go to Settings -> Accounts and Sync
2. Look under 'Manage Accounts' for any Facebook related accounts. If you see any, click on them, then click on 'Remove Account'. (Do this for all of them if there is more than one.)
3. Go back to the main 'Accounts and Sync' section where you have just been and click on 'Add account'.
4. Under INTEGRATED CONTACT ACCOUNTS (NOT more accounts) click on Facebook.
5. Enter your Facebook username and password as normal and click done.
6. Go back to the main 'Accounts and Sync' menu again, look for the new Facebook account you have just added on there and click on it.
7. Press the menu key on your phone, then click on sync now and wait till any spinning arrow logos you see stop spinning.
8. Go into your contacts and see if any have now linked with Facebook correctly (this will now be working for some people but for the majority it will not be... YET.... if not, continue with step 9.)
9. Click and hold on any of your contacts in your address book.
10. Click on join contact
11. If you see your contact with their Facebook pic next to them, click on them and they will now be successfully joined!.... If you don’t see them, you have two choices...
A) Re-edit their name in your contacts to match exactly how they have their name on Facebook. So if your friend is called 'John Doe' on Facebook but you have him as J Doe or something in your contacts, change it to match Facebook!)
OR
B)After step 10, click on 'Get Friends' and scroll until you see the contact you are trying to join, tick the box next to them, click save, then click on their picture which should now be showing under 'Suggested friends'.
Long winded - Yes
Time consuming - Yes
A soultion - Yes.
Let me know how you get on everyone...

I also do this and this works but the next issue I face is if I use a WIPE rom, how can I restore a back up of my contacts that already has the joined information ?

^^ Good question, same problem I have.

Without being some kind of genius with the SGS, I cant see how this can be done easliy to be honest.
Thing is, if your backed up contacts have the EXACT names as your facebook contacts, then when you load them back into your phone after a wipe install and sync (step 7 in guide) it should join them all up automatically for you.
However, if it does not I'm pretty sure it's due to an issue with the Facebook App because before the latest update they always used to join up automatically but not with everyone now.

Hello,
I am experiencing the same problem, but with Samsung Galaxy Nexus with ICS 4.0.4.
I tried the steps described on this post, but It didn't work.
(My facebook contacts doesn't show at People App at all)
I also tried re-installing and re-adding my facebook account, but It didn't work.
BTW, where is "INTEGRATED CONTACT ACCOUNTS" settings?
Please, Does someone have any clue on how to fix it?
thanks in advance,
Roger

GB Contacts App driving me insane!

Every single time I open the contacts app, it comes up with the "My Contacts" menu, giving options to add contacts, which I have already done, and yes I have ticked that freaking don't show again box a million times to no avail, rebooted, etc!
Anybody have a clue how to fix this or know what apk I need to remove on titanium to get rid of this b*stard!

Yes, i got the same problem.I end up doing factory data reset in the settings and set it up again but but do it one time only with the tick, work out fine.

[Q] LG G2 change default contacts save location

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...
