Do you have all of your contacts linked with your gmail account ? If so I'd try removing all the contacts you have in your phone now and then re-import them by synchronizing your google contacts into your phone.

try it... bcause sync present issues
How are they mis-linked? is it google contact details or is it facebook/twitter contacts mixed up with google ones?
If it's the latter, you could go to accounts settings, remove the various facebook/twitter sync accounts. Sync, then add those accounts back again and wait for the suggested links to be presented and see how it goes.

I know there is a ton of threads on this, but I can't seem to find an answer. I am using imilka's Glacier Sense v1.3 and I have all my contacts doubled. How can I fix this?
Thank you in advance.

Check by pressing the windows key when in the people/contacts which accounts you have selected to show, if you have phone and google choose just one. if you only have google, sign into gmail on your pc, select contacts on the left and then you can merge duplicates. on your phone resync google contacts under settings, accounts and sync, google account, and it should do it for you.

I have gmail and facebook both on there. I went into gmail and unchecked the option to sync with contacts. Should I leave this one checked and not facebook? I want to have my friends profile pics auto sync to my contacts. I did try to uncheck gmail but everything is still doubled. Will signing into gmail and doing what you said, have any effect if I want facebook to sync?

depends how you originally imported your contacts and where you saved them.
If on first boot you enabled them through a previous android build keep google contacts sync on.
The facebook side of things will sync your contacts, but not right away, it will try and match existing ones and give you a notification that contacts can be linked and let you check the right facebook profile is being synced with the correct contact.
Check you have nothing under sim card and phone accounts showing also.
Well I deleted everything data/cache with CWM. So I thought that would of cleared everything. I also did a full wipe of my SD card. I then flashed the glacier rom with CWR. I did however find a very easy fix to the contact problem. I was able to click view inside the contacts tab and uncheck any accounts that were set to sync contacts. So now my contacts only show up one entry. Now my problem is when I send a text, the contacts are still doubled. I am not sure how to fix that one..
Hey guys I rely on Facebook for a lot of my contacts and it will randomly switch to don't sync and that means I have to go back put on sync and relink my contacts it's really irritating. Do you know how I can save the Facebook contacts without Facebook sync? Thanks guys!

If you're just looking to sync them to have their contact information in your phone then I do have a solution for that. Its a process, but once its done, its done (but is reversible).
You'll need a Yahoo email account to do this. Log into your Yahoo email account, go to your contacts page, and choose to Import. Select Facebook. This will import your facebook contacts to your Yahoo account. Ok, now from the contacts page in Yahoo, you want to select export. Create a yahoo CSV file and save it to your computer. Now log onto your Google account and go to the Dashboard and then to Contacts. Now import the CSV file you made for Yahoo and you'll have all your facebook contacts now in your gmail account which will then sync to your phone. Of course you'll have to add any new facebook contact you aquire after the process manually (of just repeat the process).
Its not the most automated solution, but it is a solution. Of course you wont be able to see updates and what not with this solution, but it will get your facebook contacts information into your phone.
^^^ this is some very useful info here. Didn't know how to do this until this step by step instructions. Thanks so much.

log on to the google account and delete or merge duplicates also optionaly you can clear the data in contacts/contacts storage from applications to clear all contacts and resync
Manage ur contact list by logging into Google on ur pc.

This usually happens when you restore your contacts from back up of contacts from SD or any other backup application and then sync yuor phone with google account. If this is the case with you, then you should skip restoring from other backups.
Thanks
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

Am i missing something ? for some reason i cant get my facebook contacts (account) photos to synch up with my google /phone contacts and merge them together. previously on my HTC Evo this was done automatically and i had the option to sync all contacts, sync with existing contacts and this would allow peoples pictures to synch up properly. Is there something with the N4 thats different thats not allowing me to do that. thanks for the advice

This phone doesn't have native Facebook integration as do HTC phones, it's vanilla android after all. So its an issue with the Facebook app and eventually Facebook will fix it but don't hold your breath waiting for them they are slow. Most of my contact pictures synced up but I had some that refused to so I downloaded the app Contact Sync for Facebook and problem solved. This is the best sync app for Facebook I've seen.
