When I first signed into my google account from my nexus 7, it automatically syncs my contacts/gmail/calendar. But I don't want to have my contacts on the tablet. I've already disabled sync for google contacts. Now how do I delete the contacts from the tablets all at once? In the people app I can only delete one at a time...
Thanks!
Go to Settings> Apps > All and clear data and cache from Contacts and Contacts Storage.
Wow the reply was quick, and it worked! Thanks!

So I'm trying to delete/readd my gmail account because push won't work consistently. I don't want to wipe the phone. I have, in the past, cleared gmail, google apps and gmail storage but google apps has no data to clear. Clearing gmail & gmail storage doesn't do it. It just clears my e-mails and then resyncs... How do I completely remove?
Go to settings, accounts & sync and enter a new google account. Then tap and hold on the other gmail account to remove it.

Can't be done because the original is the primary... Google won't let you remove it.
Why not create another Gmail account and temporarily sync to it and then switch back?
as noted... you cant delete the original and i need to

My nexus s put 3 of each of my contacts on it and I was just wondering is there any way of deleting more than one contact at a time?
Do it from your gmail account.
google.com/contacts
You can clear data on contacts or search market for delete contacts

Contact Remover from the Market. Free. Easy.
you can go to contacts then menu and hit delete then select all.

Hm, I don't see a delete button after hitting Menu in the Contact list.
Sounds like you pulled the contacts from your sim card. If they have already synced what I recommend is logging into your gmail account. Then go to contacts, you can merge contacts. So if you have 3 contacts for each person merge them and edit them to be nice and pretty.
While doing this I would recommend having auto sync turned off on the phone. My preference is then to just do a factory reset on the phone. It will then pull the contacts from your google account.
There are other ways to do it, but this worked well for me. The bonehead at the Best Buy mobile store decided to import my contacts from my sim. I told her not to and instead of clearing it out she left it.
I was furious and explained to her I just came in here with a G1, why on earth would you import from my sim when you know it will just sync from my google account?
Factory reset is retarded. Just clear data under contacts or use one of the many alloys apps mentioned here. You don't need to even do that though because the sync will fix it.

Almost as retarded as installing an app to clear contacts? My assumption is that the poster just got the phone and imported form the sim so there is really no harm. It takes only a couple minutes to get everything back in place. It's pretty painless.
Just go on your computer to gmail, clean up all your contacts under my contacts, and let the auto sync work its magic.
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..
so ive done some digging and cant find the answer. the phone on froyo would save contacts to the phone AND all accounts. we have multiple accounts for these phones and would like them to be synced with only the outlook account. what i want to do is delete all phone numbers saved on to phone memory at once. then re sync with outlook so all is good. we have hundreds of numbers so i dont want to do it one by one. any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
btw i cannot do a factory reset. ive seen in the past you go to manage apps-and clear data from contacts storage, but that option is greyed out....
I would think the first thing to do is go to menu>settings>accounts and uncheck the sync contacts option for each account. Then go to settings>apps>manage apps>all and find contacts. On my phone (apex gb) I can select clear data.

Rooted KF, I want to setup contacts to sync with google using the contact sync adapter. I read that the contacts should be cleared out first so they don't duplicate with google. Is there an easy way to delete all the contacts? I tried deleting contacts cache and data and that didn't work.
THANKS

Nevermind, I am good... I did a little trick, when started the contacts on the kf syncing with google contacts I did get the duplicates in GC. Then I accessed GC over the web and did a restore to an hour ago, when the kf synched again the duplicates are all gone.
