Hey guys, having a stupid issue here, I have SOME of my contacts from my evo3d that are not syncing with google, Most of my contacts synced and loaded to my new GS4, but not all of them, and it is not like it is just my most recent additions, just some random ones. I have had this happen before so i tried exporting all contacts to a .vcf and then importing all of them on the GS4... still some of them are not transfering, any ideas???
Are those contacts having some unusual characters in names or any other contact field, like ä, á, ă, š, ş and so on?
Btw, why don't you use the new Samsung tool to move data from your old phone to the new one?

nope no weird characters... the tool wont work since the usb on my old evo3d is going out
You can try exporting them to an SD card. ( In contacts > import/export > to SD ).
Or try doing it on Gmail directly by uploading the file to gmail once you export it to the SD.
If you tried these and it didnt work, make sure your contact settings is set to display all acounts or sources. ( Contacts > Menu > Contacts to display )

I transfered all of my contacts from my iphone at a sprint store, but when i try searching for a contact when composing a new message, the phone cannot seem to recognize the contact name. This happens to the majority of my contacts, only a few actually work. Anyone know a fix or why this is happening?
thanks in advanced
**BAMMMPUU*
sounds like something got borked when transferring contacts. I would try linking the contacts with numbers in the Contacts app and then try it again and see if it works. Try a few, to see if its working. I manually enterred all of my contacts a while back when I switched from Pre to Hero to my google account (I know, there is an easier way, now). So I haven't had any contact issues.
It was happeneing to me too, but no port from iphone. Also when contacts would call it would only display there number even though the were already contacts with pictures.
I Just played with the contact settings and not sure how I fixeed it sorry.

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 ;-)

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?

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.....
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
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.

My dear friends,
Since when i bought my Galaxy S3 i google sync contacts with no problem between all my devices but from today morning i noticed one surprising problem i.e when i create a new contact on say the Galaxy S3 and another on my iPhone 4 and when i sync they all appear on both devices but when i DELETE both ways that of the Android remains and does not delete, which means i have to manually delete it on Galaxy.Please help and thanks.
There's likely to be an issue on the iPhone. It's not removing it from your gmail account. Check your settings.

No i do not think because when i check my google contacts on my computer it has been deleted!
Check that all contacts on the phone have a G symbol on them. When creating a contact on the phone, be sure it is a Google contact and that you are not creating a contact on the phone only.
Sent from my GT-I9300
Thanks but in creating new contact sometime "G" symbol is not available.
Then you need to change the default setting by clearing the defaults of the contacts app in settings, applications, all
You HAVE to have the G for sync to work.
Export all your contacts to sdcard and use that file on your desktop and import it Google Contacts. Use the merge duplicates after importing.

[Q] How to change the default contact save location from "Phone" to "Google"
I always forget to change the location before save.
Can i change the default location?
I remember that my old se arc can change it.
I'm pretty sure it asks you where you want to save when you enter a new contact.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
Not even sure why there is am option. Bugs me you can save stuff to the"phone" when it should be automatically saved to Google.

Can change Google to first order?
Ii always forget to change this setting when add new contact.
I don't have that problem. I only display my Google contacts and untick the other options. When I enter a number and save it, it automatically saves it to Google. :sly:

FWIW, it is my preference to exchange all email via an alternative mail server, for privacy and security.
My Gmail account does not exist on my phone, so there would not be a reason (for me) to use anything other than phone contacts, calendars, etc., bypassing Google altogether.

Yes I was having this problem saving new contacts. I thought it was a problem with root or my clean rom install them realized my contacts were saving to att phone book and new entries would not sync so I was entering the same contacts in practically every day. Had a duh moment them switched to my Google account to store my contacts.
