After backing up all my contacts in my s3, bluetoothed the .vcf file to my N3, arrows in notifications showed that transfer was successful but there was no .vcf file in the bluetooth folder on my internal sd as its supposed to be. Then, i tried emailing and downloading the .vcf file... went fine but after installing all my contacts, there is about at least 2 connections in every contact name. It's a real pain to delete one by one as there's no need for the extra connections...i wonder if this is a bug or feature??
Anyone facing this too??

Why don't you just use Google to back up your contacts... Unlink the contacts

Don't sweat it....
Google People is quirky.
It collects contact data from accounts it recognizes, like Yahoo Mail and Skype.
If you try to change data in one of those "foreign" data section, it says This app can not change data. I guess that is reasonable.
You have to use the data "owner", like Skype, to modify it.
Hi I have a rooted n7 stock 4.1.2, I can't seem to delete a ringtone "hangout_dingtone.m4a" I am using ES File Exploer with SU permissions. Every time I delete it and reboot my n7 the files come back. The file is one file but when done a search shows up in two places, if I rename it in one place it renames in the other place as well. The files are located in /data/media/notification/hangout_dingtone.m4a and /storage/sdcard0/notification/ hangout_dingtone.m4a is there any way I can delete it from both locations? The reason why I want this done is because they show up multiple times in the default sounds menu.

That's because they are exactly the same location!
Just delete it from sdcard.
Sent from my Nexus 7
Youd think it would go away, but after a reboot there it is back in the folder. /sdcard/notification
any other way you can think of?

Ok, I deleted both hangout ring/ding tone files from notifications. Rebooted the phone and ding is back again.
Based on the name, it belongs to Google+, so I would say the app reinstalls the file if it is deleted.
Either leave the file alone or try freezing/uninstalling Google+.

How would you suggest I freeze google plus app?

When I copy and paste text from gmail, using either the app, or the browser, the bold formatting is lost. This is so even if I paste back into gmail. Anyone know a way round it?

I tried several times in the browser with no issues
Really? Just to be clear, I do mean gmail on the Nexus. I didn't state that explicitly as this is a Nexus forum. Bold is fine on the desktop. If you do mean on the Nexus, What did you do? I'm running stock 4.2.2 rooted. When I receive an email with bold text it displays, but I can't specify bold when creating, and when I copy and paste using the standard method- long press and position beginning and end points - the formatting is lost.
thanks

When you install Facebook for the first time, and after you sign in, you will be prompted to choose whether or not to sync your friends contacts to your phone. Just select don't sync and no contacts will be created.

If you did however already sync them to phone, press menu button in contacts. And choose to only show contacts with phone numbers. Then at least all the ones without phone numbers will go away

Go to Settings>Apps> View all apps and find your app in the list. open it and enable it
Tried but its not in there

If it's disabled, it won't be in alphabetical order with your other apps. It will be at the very end of the list.
In the settings menu it is named Contacts.

You sure you froze the app and didn't accidentally deinstalled it?

Re-Check, the name might be. Contacts or it may be on the end of the list
If it's not, then try re-installing your rom or you can manually push the apk to /system/app/
thanks for all the help guys ive sorted it now

How did you sort it out? I installed Overstock rom on my nexus 4 and after that I am unable to add contact. I cleared data from Settings->Apps-> Contact storage , still no luck.. Can you please explain what steps you took to sort it out.
