Problem with linked contacts

Hi.
I tried to link one of my contacts to his facebook account but instead it linked him to ALL my facebook friends so all their details showed up under his contact info dozens of emails, phones numbers etc. Going into his contact profile and "unlinking" these others had no effect, all I could do was delete my face book info from the Accounts and sync settings and this removed the extra contact info. However his contact is still linked to two other contacts (google contacts) on my phone and I cannot remove the links for these no matter what I try. Any suggestions.? I'm using Villain 5.2 ROM.
Edit:. Also contacts I create on the phone don't appear, but appear on Google contacts. Contacts I create on Google don't appear on the phone.
Thanks

[Q] Tmobile Contact Sync

I have just signed out and cleared the data for FB for myTouch and also cleared my contacts and contacts data in an attempt to fix the contact photo's not showing up on SMS. (found this fix in a thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=844594&page=182)
Anyway my question is, now that all my contacts have been deleted, if I press the "sync now" under Tmobile account on my phone is this going to d/l all my contacts from the online phonebook at my.tmobile.com or is this going to transfer the non existent contacts from my phone to my online phone book essentially deleting what's already stored?
Hope that question wasn't too complicated.
Short version: Will syncing from my phone delete or download the contacts saved at my.tmobile.com?
It should just commit the first sync and pull down everything, much like it would do for a new handset.

[Q] Contacts problem

Hoping someone can help, My Mrs phonebook is screwed up, she has duplicate entries for every contact she has. For example her contact for me has duplicated numbers;
Home,Mobile,Mobile,mobile,home,other,work,home,internet,Internet,internet,internet,internet.
Basically the same numbers and email address are listed over and over again for every contact.
Ideally i would like to import them to the pc and then edit and send back to the phone.
I have tried Google sync and doing it by gmail - no good. kept coming up with delete limit exceeded when i sync'd and now gmail has lost the contacts!
Sony Ericsson sync would not import contacts full stop. It sync'd calendar with no problems but contacts remained blank.
Can anybody help or suggest an alternative??
Thanks
lol same happened to me
Check that the display options are not showing multiple sources for the same contact, if so turn these sources off.
My suggestion would be to copy all contacts to your google account, and manage them there, then turn of all other sources for contacts.

Need help on Contacts and Call Log

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.
