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.....

yes, i believe linking your contacts together will solve this problem...
you are probably getting one number from sim and another number from FB.

I tried, still didnt work , maybe its just my phone. thanks
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.

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.
Hey guys
I am currently running stock froyo on my legend. for some reason, sync with gmail is acting weird. not all number from the same contacts are syncing. for example 1 contact has 3 numbers on my phone and only 2 show up on gmail.
I also have encountered lately another problem: my country code is +961, some of the contacts numbers that start with +961 currently show 1961 instead. i m not sure of the origin of this problem.
Any help would be much appreciated
Go on a computer, login to gmail, go in where all your contacts are and choose remove all duplicates and all should be fine ;-)
Sent from my Legend using XDA App
thats not it man. i have no duplicates. I use gmail at work so my contacts are nice and tidy. no duplicates
Aha I see. Hmmmm.
I had something like that a while ago. I had to fix that **** manually. :-/
After looking further into the problem, it turns out that those numbers with the wrong code are imported from facebook. Those numbers cannot be edited.
I turned off facebook sync yet the stupid numbers remain there.
Any ideas?

Hi
I just switched to Oxygen ROM which is amazing btw and my battery is lasting forever compared to stock... but there is some thing i do miss, the HTC Link in the contacts... which was pretty useful...
Also could anyone tell me how I can put Own Number and contact, so that it shows my picture in while am texting....
i'm not sure, but i think go cotacts has some of the features.

No in Go contact it's a merge option.
Me too I search an app with the link between contact. If you find one tell me.
A bit complicated but to link contacts, open a contact -> menu - edit contact -> menu -> join contact.
To make your contact photo show, just make sure you are in your address book with the same number as your phone. If you are in your address book and you're still not showing up, check your number is provided by your SIM by going to Settings -> About phone -> Status. The "My Phone Number" should be populated with your number. If not, get an app off the market to edit your SIM. I used this one: http://www.appbrain.com/app/my-phone-number/org.lytsing.myphonenumber
Not sure if this is relevant to what you want to know, but there is a free app called SyncMyPix which forces all of your contacts to be represented by their facebook profile pictures. I found it useful on AOSP roms which dont seem to sync these pictures well
I'd try dialer one...gives you a link to you contacts.

Like davidbis mentioned use join contact feature it works completely the same like it was working with stock HTC rom. I've been confused with that as well, but worked fine.
Hi,
Anybody knows of an app that merges / joins contacts?
HTC Sense has this function if you know what I mean, sometimes a chain-link icons shows up in the notification area.
I´d like to have an app that does this on a batch basis so that I can chose to do so for all my contacts instead of merging / joining one by one.
I know I can do this one by one. Go contacts Ex gives this function without doing it for everyone at one batch job. You have to acceppt one by one...
I am using , Google, ActiveSync, Facebook, Whatsapp etc. contacts
Ideas?
@davidbis
Thx 4 Link works great for me

Just got my new replacement DX, having trouble. I got and add my facebook account to try and sync. When I go to Contacts>Menu>More>Manage Accounts> and click my facebook account, it has the login and says "remove account" then at the bottom it says OK and Cancel. OK brings me back. When I click on the google, it lets me sync.
How do i sync all of my facebook contacts if its not letting me?
Open your facebook app and go menu-settings and at the bottom should be sync contacts.

Thanks! I was having the same problem.
When I open the FB app then scroll down in the settings the last option I see is "Other Settings" but I cannot scroll down to it. It is like that is the end of the menu. I see no setting to do this All my contats still show their original picture when I first setup my phone and new friends do not get added.

Crobs,
I had a similiar issue and my fix was to remove the account, reboot phone and re-add the account and it synched up fine after that. I hope this helps.
None have worked thus far...

They do get added to my contacts, but that's not where I set them up at. I have had synch break a couple of times and had to re-set them up.
I'm running 340.
Randomly all synced... not *****ing lol
Fix for FB Contacts not Syncing
I have seen this in multiple forum sites. So I am attaching a fix that you flash through CW so that you can sync your contacts again. I hope this helps someone!

I'm having the same problem. My contacts don't sync fb pictures. Really making the contacts box boring. Running b00sted ICS build 2, which I must say is the nicest ROM i've ever flashed, even though it isn't perfect.
FYI - As of ICS leak 6.7.232, FB contacts/photo sync is working again! Upgrade to ICS and kiss this problem (along with tons of others) goodbye!

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....

Weird that it's not the same for everyone !!
Maybe it depends on phone model ? I have D802 on my side.

Same problem here, default to saving to Phone Contacts.
D802 Asian ROM HERE
I have same problem

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.
