I am trying to restore my contacts with this application but I have the following problem.
First, I add a new live email account, and then other gmail account. My original contacts are tied to my gmail account, so I think that first I have to configure this account.
Then, I restore my contacts and reboot my phone and I can see my contacts, but when I entrer in 3 or 4 contacts and I try to enter in other contact, I can't, I can see the list of all my contacts, but I can't access to the information.
If I go to the email accounts, The google account does not exist.
I can create the gmail account again, and restore the contacts, and then I can access again to the information of the contacts, but the problem persists, after enter in 3 or 4 contacts, I can't access to the information anymore, and the google account is deleted.
Which is the correct process to restore the contacts? is there any manual of the application?
Thanks.

I had uploaded from my previous phone all my contacts to my Gmail account under a group phone. So my Galaxy S downloaded all of them.
Now here comes the questions:
1) When I create a new contact what should I do to have it synced with my Gmail account? I suppose I have to create it under my Gmail account and not to the phone? Right? What about the contacts under th phone, they are not synced with my Gmail? What if I have several accounts?
2) I have added my facebook account and I have linked contacts together. Is this backed-up somewhere? I found the simple answer is no.
So what I want is to update my contacts with correct data, link them together and have them backed up to my gmail account?
If you tell me about kies, it back up only what is in the phone...
Say we have a large amount of contacts that are saved to the phone. How do we go about making them google contacts after they are already in without having to manually save each number?
just do a google sync; menu>settings>accounts & sync>gmail>contacts sync
I had to use HTC Sync to pull them into Outlook, then export them in from Outlook as a csv. Then, upload the csv to your gmail account. Next, sync your phone to your gmail contacts, and that will pull them down to your phone as Google contacts. Most of them will link to your phone contacts in "People" so they don't appear twice, but some may need to be linked manually.
Where is the GMail account info (account, username, password etc) stored in the Vibrant? I thought I had it all backed up with TiB Pro but I restore data from GMail, Accounts, Account Sync etc but I still have to go back and put them in manually after flashing new ROMs.
I did notice the first account entered is the one that ties to your Market data.
Hello,
I'm having duplicate contacts on my phone. Can anyone help?
I'm getting 2 contacts for everything. Looks like the phone is creating multiple contacts, Is it possible to avoid this (rather than stop syncing with fb and gtalk)
thanks
Maybe it's showing your google contacts and your phone contacts, or your phone and sim contacts, have a look in your settings in the contacts screen, and make sure you only have one of the settings ticked.
Also if you are importing to gmail account, you can use gmail to remove duplicate contacts.
It all depends where the contacts come from.
If you go into the gmail web version on a computer and look up the contacts and there are duplicates - then delete the duplicates and sync.
If the duplicate contacts are stored on the SIM - then either delete them or choose the option not to view them.
If the duplicate contacts are stored on the phone (but do not sync with gmail) - I would just delete them (you could always back them up with KIES on the computer).
If the duplicate contacts come from different applications (gmail, facebook, etc) then you just 'link' them. This way gmail will sync only with the gamil contacts and Facebook will only sync with the facebook contacts but most importantly you only see a single contact with all the info from both souces in it.

Is there any way to backup and restore linked contacts when you do a full wipe and restore? Titanium Backup doesn't seem to like doing this, and linking them again really annoys me.
Any ideas?
Hello,
I am a new user of Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.2 (first time Android user) and I have issues with the contacts how it is at present and wanted your help to get those resolved.
Note:
I have Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Skype, Exchange account, WhatsApp are synced in the device, but I have disabled Contact Sync for all of these. So now if I go to Contacts screen I can see only Device Contacts which is GOOD .
Issue 1: Search
When I search for contact in the contacts screen the search result includes contacts from Gmail, WhatsApp etc as well along with the device contacts. How can we get rid of these?
From where contact search pull these Gmail contacts even if those are not available inside contacts screen? Same happen when I search for contacts from Compose message screen.
Issue 2: Call Log
The Call Log by default include all Call Log and Message Log. We do have a View Filter where we can set ALL Calls Only and this is a temporary fix for the view to show only Call Log. Next time I open Log I see both of them. Is there a way I can fix this?
Thanks.
It's coz you must have previously synced your contatcs with Gmail / fb. Try deleting them all and adding them again from the backup. Also check the truecaller settings if any.

Thanks river-mystique, Yes when I setup the device with the Gmail ID it did auto synced contacts and later I disabled the Sync. So how can I remove all contacts and restore from backup? Or I need to factory Reset and Sync with Samsung Account? Also no True Caller.
Another question: If I factory reset and Sync with Samsung account (Where I have my contacts and SMS synced) and setup Gmail Again, will the device try to sync Gmail Contact again, as during device setup with Gmail there is no Option to disable Sync types. I think it is only available after the device is configured.
Thanks.
