been awhile since I got on XDA
but I've been having issues with my Note 3
the Default Messaging App loses my contact names (it becomes all numbers) randomly
my Contacts are still intact if I look at the Contacts App
they are okay in my IM apps such as WhatsApp as well
the only way I can resolve this is to export my contacts, delete contacts storage and then import the contacts back again.
I'm on Note 3 MJ7 Rooted

How in the hell do I get my phone contacts to sync to Google? I tried settings_accounts_Google sync but it only pulls my gmail contacts to my phone. I want to put my phone contacts to gmail. Backup assistant works fine, but some of the custom roms out don't use it. I can't find any info on this. HTC told me when I create contacts and choose Google instead of phone that they will sync. What about the 80 or so that backup assistant did upon activating my phone? And also, if I save future contacts as Google contacts and not phone contacts, does backup assist still back these up too?
In phone book hit menu and export contacts to sd card. This will give you a file that can be used to import your contacts on gmail.com

or just go to backup asst online.. vzw.com/backupassistant, and then export your contacts to a .csv file..which you can then import into google..doesnt take long.
In order to get the ones already saved in your phone to sync to google I think you're going to have to go with one of the options they said since I dont think there is a way to change them from phone contact to google contact.
However, when you add new contacts there is a drop down toward the top that you can change from phone to google so that after you save them it will sync automatically.
So if I import them to Google, it will sync. I get that. Now if I add new contacts as Google contacts does backup assist still back them up also?
Hi everyone. I have some trouble that there are some copies of every contact in my phonebook. It seems that Sim, Phone and Google contacts are displayed. I just want to see only Phone contacts for example when Im choosing people to send sms... How to??

If you press menu and show, you can choose which contacts to see. A tip: sync with Google contacts only, and edit your contacts from Google contacts on your Pc. You can merge contacts etc.
Is this possible?
Would be great to avoid ever getting duplicates etc...
back up your phone contacts to SD card....then delete your phone contacts.
Then import the backup you created and select import and google contacts they should then start sycing to your gmail account
hope this helps

Thanks, but will the newly imported contacts end up in gmail??? Won't they just end up in phone again (as it was originally)?
No cause you are importing as google contacts so they will sync with gmail contacts

the only downside i see to this is that some of the contact's options are not available to google contacts. for example you can't set personal ringtone to google contact..

Could you add a phone contact "tab" later if you want?

Bump. Still wondering... Thanks
I noticed that some of my contacts have their Facebook pictures associated with their info and there is a little Facebook icon on the contact.
Where are those contacts coming from? Is it pulling the contacts from my Gmail account and if an email address matches one of my Facebook friends it links them?
I'm just really confused. Also if I edit my Gmail contacts on my computer how do I get them to update on my phone? I deleted hundreds of "junk" contacts and they're still on the phone.
The facebook pics are pulled from facebook when the person has their number listed and u have the same number as a contact. To get rid of the junk contacts make sure every contact u need is synced to gmail then delete all ur contacts and resync from gmail.

In contacts, click the icon in the upper left that looks like 3 people and disable your facebook contacts from showing in the contacts screen.

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 ..
