hello
I did backup all my contacts from note2 and restore it to the note3. whatsapp is working fine I have no issue. but something weird about the contacts. when I go to the contacts there should be a small icon infront of each name showing that this contact is already having whatsapp messenger. but with my phone not all the contacts who has the whatsapp have this small icon.
I tried to delete the number and add it again manually but still I don't see the icon. although when I open whatsapp I can chat normally with this contact.
I checked all the sync setting and its all active.
any idea ?
thanks ..

I am having trouble trying to get rid of double listings in my contacts when writing SMS, when I go to all people on the main screen all my contacts are fine just one of each but when I go to sms and go to add recipient I get 2 of all my contacts, my normal ones with pics then all my sim ones as well , I have gone to menu in all people then view and highlighted contacts but still have double listings when doing sms, I just can't figure it out any advice please, thanks.
anyone ??????
I had a similar problem after a hard reset. I re-synced with MyPhone and ended up with duplicate contacts. I deleted them via the MyPhone webpage and no further problems.
i had the same problem with myphone sync once before. just removed the duplicate from the myphone webpage as well.
Use the attached cab, it is a small program that i downloaded from somewhere and cannot remember where exactly.
It removes any exact duplicates from your contact list.
Very useful program.
I have my contacts displayed perfectectly just having gmail showing.
Now when I go to send message (handcent) I see duplicate numbers! Also only some numbers display the contact picture when it has a pic from facebook synced in contacts.
How do i fix this.
I had this same issue and I just deleted all of the contacts that were on my SIM... Might want to look into that.
This is a limitation of the underlying way in which touchwiz handles contacts. There is no way to limit contacts to just a particular label in Goog contacts. All contacts are shown. In the Contacts app, you can filter the listing somewhat, but when some other app or some selection dialog appears, all the contacts are shown.

probably the easiest, not sure about the only... They are really not needed on your SIM tho. Just make sure that any contact that is not saved to your google contacts is saved there before you delete it off your SIM.
ughh i deleted all the sim contacts still having the issue. I think maybe it was faceoobk issue so I mune settings accounts and sync and unsync facebook contacts but everything is stilll there.
I got contac2sim app to delete the sim contacts worked good. I saw that it says 479 contacts on left and 0 sim contacts....now i only have 211 contaacts in gmail.. there are no contacts on phone, so facebook must be doubling them
EDIT - The facebook contacts are linked actually wtf. If I click link contact them i go to link the same one that person not there..im goin crazy.
Figured most of it out
The contacts were deleted off the sim but phone didnt recongnize it until I shut it off and removed the sim card.
Once i put it back and it worked and contacts were cleaned up
i guess now the only thing would do is merge gmail and facebook contacts
anyone know how to do that
[Fixed]
Hi there, so i have this problem. Suddenly the option "view facebook contacts" (or smth) disappeared from my People > all > view options.
Everything else regarding facebook seems fine, its just that the option isn't there and my phone book is showing only my old messy contacts (before facebook sync).
When im trying to link my contacs again one after another, i cant find the contacts in facebook list - there are no contacts of people i had linked before, and no contact photos. This is obviously some kind of a bug.
Ive uninstalled the Facebook app from the market, but thats not the issue.
Reloging, system restarts etc. dont help at all..
[Solution]: Ive somehow managed to reset that built-in facebook app from the settings pane (accounts and synchronization) and that fixed the problem, had to link all contacts again tho.
Hi there, I'm new to android and I installed the Facebook for Android app.
I manually inserted some of my friends into the Contactlist.
I tried to sync my Facebook-friends that are presented into my manually added Contactlist.
When I want to send a textmessage (sms) and search for a contact, I can see my entire facebook friends... But I only want to see my manually added contactlist (with the facebook sync like: photo's, profile, etc)
So my problem:
- Contactlist ok (only my contacts from phonebook)
- Messages not ok (I can see my entire facebook)
Open Facebook, tap the stylized facebook text on the top left corner so you go to the 9 icon grid layout, then tap the Menu softkey, Settings, scroll down, tap Sync Contacts, choose Sync with existing contacts, then OK.

I allready did this, but ALL the facebook contacts are still in "Message"
Try Don't sync, let it clear out your contacts list, then try sync with existing contacts again.
Also, check that you don't have facebook syncing contacts with the Social Hub.

I deleted my fb accound and then I synced with existing contacts...
But in Messages I see all the facebook friends again.
I never opened social hubs, I did it now but I don't have any feeds because I have 0 accounts into feeds...
But on the tab Messages i see the link to messages...
And again same story = All facebook contacts.
I also tried to delete them by KIES. But KIES only shows the right contacts (not the facebook contacts)
Just checked on my own phone and yeah I have the same issue.
Try Add recipient>Groups>My Contacts? Or Favourite all the people you want to text and tap the Favourites tab every time you text maybe?
Sorry that's all I can help you with. Dunno how to completely rid the nonessential contacts from Messages short of exporting the ones you want from Facebook and reimporting via Google or something.
seems to be a bug with Samsungs implementation of FB integration, you can choose to hide facebook only contacts but when messaging it will show your full Contacts list (including facebook) regardless of the selection made in the Contacts menu.
hope samsung sort it out !
Yeah same issue. chose only sync with existing contacts but it still synced all
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
Annoying bug, I have a work around!
Any work around?
This is the same issue with mine, I have tried loads of things, it looks like a bug as selecting sync with existing contacts, should just sync existing contacts not 'All' which is what it's doing!
However I have recently started using 'Go SMS' as my default SMS app and when I follow the same process to text someone I don't get the whole of my FB friends now!
Try it see what you think but I prefer GO SMS to the default Samsung SMS app.
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.
