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 ..
Hi guys! I'm new to the forum, so I catch the opportunity to introduce me and to thank you for the great forum. I have always consulted xda for my questions and problems and now I decided to subscribe me!
Now, the problem: as the title says,there was recently a sudden and strange problem with the address book of my galaxy s4: when I create a contact, usually, I can choose between different accounts or devices with which to associate the number that I'm adding (Device , SIM , Google , Samsung account ), after I created it, the contact synchronizes it self with facebook, now, this don't happens. I'm regularly connected to my facebook account, infact it appears in account management and if I tell the phone to display only the contacts in the address book in my facebook profile, he does . So I can connect accounts only in device, sim, google+ and samsung. Under the heading "MYSELF", I am connected with google+ , but I can't change in facebook or somethings else (the pone says me: "can not change when in use"). This is very annoying, because I can not connect facebook to existing contacts (I have old contacts that recently subscribed on facebook) and also I can't add new contact to my facebook account! All the old numbers ( which at the time I imported with kies and combined with the " connection/joint " option when they were doubles) are connected to my Facebook account (via their email, it appears the tab "facebook" if I go to edit them ), but I can't connect the new ones! In addition, there is not even whatsapp (which is there in all old contacts ) . What can I do? thanks
Hello guys I just got my galaxy S5 and I synced the phone with my facebook , now I have all my friends in my contacts but without their phone number and when I try to edit it , there is no way to do it ...
is there any one who can help me with that ?!!?
anyone ?!
I am using Note 3 for past few days, and it is becoming difficult to manage my contacts in 1 place.
I use many social applications like whatsapp, chaton, fb, twitter etc. and keep receiving new contacts from those places.
Also, keep adding new contacts manually or via different email applications (inbuilt email or directly opening emails via browser firefox/chrome).
Problem:
I want to keep all my contacts centrally in 1 place.. so I do not loose them.
Examples:
I added 2 contacts directly via whatsapp today someone shared the contact, after adding same to my contacts. 1 of them got added to my google account other did not, it got added to device.
Same happens when adding contacts via email addresses or social media apps.
Please guide your share your expertise, i am sure, I am not able to see things properly.

I have few accounts, list in order displayed on phone.
Device - 0 contacts
Sim card - 0 contacts
Whatsapp - (few contacts who use whatsapp are displayed here.. All contacts are present in google account)
google ([email protected]) (I have all my contacts stored in this account) (around 450 contacts here in different groups)
Exchange account ([email protected] this is primary/default email) There are many contacts here, which I dont want to add/merge to my phone, as this are business contacts and I only use them mostly for email. Many of this contacts also have phone numbers national/international both
Samsung ([email protected] using same exchange email id) Not sure how many contacts this has.
Facebook (More then 1500+ friends/relatives/business people here) Many of this friends are already present in my google account. I dont want to merge this data with my proper list.. as I never communicate with this friends on phone..)
Now.. when anyone sends me a contact via whatsapp or any other above accounts, it gets added to device or respective accounts only.. which troubles a lot..
I also want to sync only photos of people who are listed in gmail account (not all facebook contacts).
But next time, when I will do flash my rom.. it will disappear again !
Please help.. hope I am able to frame the question/problem properly..
Since I last upgraded to lollipop, all the photos I had for contacts are lost (as google does not syncs photos on gmail or google people)
Hello all,
I recently moved my wife to Gmail on her AT&T Galaxy S4. She has a bunch of Google contacts and Facebook contacts. The problem is that when she uses Gmail to email a FB friend who has an email account listed it never shows up in Gmail. I have a Moto X 2014 with the stock Contacts app and I can email any contact in my list, regardless of where it is coming from? Is there a way to get this to operate on my wife's phone? I tried loading the Google Contacts app but that blew up.
Thanks,
Steve
