Sorry if this is the forum for this. I finally transfered my phone contacts to google contacts. I went to vzw, exported to .csv, and imported to gmail. So far so good. I deleted mt contacts from my phone, and synced my google contacts. All good there. I accidentally deleted a couple of contacts off of my phone, but they are still in gmail. How do I get them back onto my phone. I know with backup assistant I can retrieve and resync them to the phone, but don't have the foggiest how to do it with gmail. Thanks for the help.
Menu/settings/accounts & sync
Q&A would of been better suited for general questions.

I tried that but it didn't add it back to the phone. I went back to gmail and it seems they were removed from there as well. Is that normal, if you remove it from the phone it also gets removed from gmail contacts list? How can I delete a contact from the phone without deleting it from gmail?
Login to gmail from your pc, you can choose which you want to sync or make a list.

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.
Hello,
I'm having duplicate contacts on my phone. Can anyone help?
I'm getting 2 contacts for everything. Looks like the phone is creating multiple contacts, Is it possible to avoid this (rather than stop syncing with fb and gtalk)
thanks
Maybe it's showing your google contacts and your phone contacts, or your phone and sim contacts, have a look in your settings in the contacts screen, and make sure you only have one of the settings ticked.
Also if you are importing to gmail account, you can use gmail to remove duplicate contacts.
It all depends where the contacts come from.
If you go into the gmail web version on a computer and look up the contacts and there are duplicates - then delete the duplicates and sync.
If the duplicate contacts are stored on the SIM - then either delete them or choose the option not to view them.
If the duplicate contacts are stored on the phone (but do not sync with gmail) - I would just delete them (you could always back them up with KIES on the computer).
If the duplicate contacts come from different applications (gmail, facebook, etc) then you just 'link' them. This way gmail will sync only with the gamil contacts and Facebook will only sync with the facebook contacts but most importantly you only see a single contact with all the info from both souces in it.
Related question.
Is there any way to backup and restore linked contacts when you do a full wipe and restore? Titanium Backup doesn't seem to like doing this, and linking them again really annoys me.
Any ideas?
Rooted KF, I want to setup contacts to sync with google using the contact sync adapter. I read that the contacts should be cleared out first so they don't duplicate with google. Is there an easy way to delete all the contacts? I tried deleting contacts cache and data and that didn't work.
THANKS

Nevermind, I am good... I did a little trick, when started the contacts on the kf syncing with google contacts I did get the duplicates in GC. Then I accessed GC over the web and did a restore to an hour ago, when the kf synched again the duplicates are all gone.
