Every email address that's ever hit my Gmail is showing up as a contact. Any way to stop this?

I've done that. The only option I've seen is to hide ones with no phone number. I've got done that are email only. They show up fine on my old phone (S6E).

I went to contact settings - - > display - - > customize. I checked My Contacts under my Gmail account.

Yes, but I want my contacts from my Google account. The problem is that email addresses that are not saved as actual contacts in Gmail are showing up.
Maybe an issue with Inbox?

I had this happen to me. to be honest, best thing you can do is take the 5-10 minutes and go through a delete everything that is not a true contact. It had been happening to me since my S6 and I've just done the simple "display only contacts with numbers" and ignored it.
It took me about 10 minutes of going through all my contact options and removing everything I didn't need. once done, I resynced my gmail and everything is good once again.

Just got my new replacement DX, having trouble. I got and add my facebook account to try and sync. When I go to Contacts>Menu>More>Manage Accounts> and click my facebook account, it has the login and says "remove account" then at the bottom it says OK and Cancel. OK brings me back. When I click on the google, it lets me sync.
How do i sync all of my facebook contacts if its not letting me?
Open your facebook app and go menu-settings and at the bottom should be sync contacts.

Thanks! I was having the same problem.
When I open the FB app then scroll down in the settings the last option I see is "Other Settings" but I cannot scroll down to it. It is like that is the end of the menu. I see no setting to do this All my contats still show their original picture when I first setup my phone and new friends do not get added.

Crobs,
I had a similiar issue and my fix was to remove the account, reboot phone and re-add the account and it synched up fine after that. I hope this helps.
None have worked thus far...

They do get added to my contacts, but that's not where I set them up at. I have had synch break a couple of times and had to re-set them up.
I'm running 340.
Randomly all synced... not *****ing lol
Fix for FB Contacts not Syncing
I have seen this in multiple forum sites. So I am attaching a fix that you flash through CW so that you can sync your contacts again. I hope this helps someone!

I'm having the same problem. My contacts don't sync fb pictures. Really making the contacts box boring. Running b00sted ICS build 2, which I must say is the nicest ROM i've ever flashed, even though it isn't perfect.
FYI - As of ICS leak 6.7.232, FB contacts/photo sync is working again! Upgrade to ICS and kiss this problem (along with tons of others) goodbye!

Hey all I'm new here...
Just wanted to point out some woes with the new OTA 2.3.4 update with the contacts. Although it seems the views have a few more options the bad part is they took away the option to flip the screen left or right to see social or history... that sucks but the worst part is... it seems that you can't link with social accounts anymore either!!!
Any insight on this... am I doing something wrong?
Use GO Contacts, it's just plain better.
your probably right... though 2.2.2 was fairly decent.
Just wanted to add... as I'm going through account and contact stuff, the ability to sync facebook or twitter pics with contacts is gone as well I know there are other ways (manually) but this was a nice feature... why would the take it out? What reason do we have now to add any of the social/pic stuff with motoblur? Again, Myspace, facebook, LastFm, twitter, Picasa, Photobucket, flicker, Linkedin... its all broken now, none of them sync with contacts now. (or is it fixed... was there issues with this before, did folks not like it?)
Note: If you long press any of these accounts in settings it states.... "To Fully integrate "account" into your mobile experience, click Add Account." What experience are they refering to? All I can see is that your widgets (which suck) will populate their feeds....
Update... I did find some settings for anyone looking.... if you edit a contact and press menu the option to join pops up.... so maybe its not a total loss also not as I used an app to sync FB pics to existing contacts (synced to google) not sure if you "join" if the pic syncs as well....
If they took out linking contacts period, IMO that would be a HUGE step forward.
My contacts got severely f*cked up because of that, and I'm still trying to fix that mess.
If I hadn't bought so many Apps under my current account, I just would have just created a new Google account already...

If you unlink your accounts, the contacts should go back to the way they were. Linking doesn't actually modify any account info.

Go into your contact, then menu->Options
Altough it is still possible to link the contacts, I prefer the older Contacts.
It was easy to see where did each info came from (small "f" or "t" logo near the contact data).
Will try to get used to the new interface.
Anthony, I agree with you. The option to flip right and left was very useful and I used it all the time to keep track of my communication with a contact. I was hugely disappointed to see that missing. I do not understand why they would remove that. I also liked the contact photo syncing. It was nice that most of my contacts had photos added automatically.
Has anyone else had issues with webtop working after the update? Via HDMI or any of the docks...

I like new Contact App.
Just a small bug: birthday date is showed as an INTEGER (many times negative) and not more as a Date.
Example: "Birthday: -609994887"
I'm not sure if the wrong "import" of newer Contact App is about Facebook's birthday date or Google's Account, however something is wrong...
What the... they just took out the most usedlful feature in blur, contact history. Man thats so bad...

Select the one under motoblur accounts not the one under other accounts (which makes me question the wisdom of Moto for having it listed twice on the same page).

I tried that too but I had the same problem as before, no contacts showing up. Why must motorola make things so difficult?
Edit: Read on droid x forums that it can take a couple hours for them to show up, so I'll wait and see.

Be sure to be on a wifi network and ensure you can sync social apps. I would reboot the phone once all of that is checked and then see if it all comes down or not.
Hi,
I just got a nexus 4 with android 4.2.2. When creating a contact with Go contact, I can chose between phone contact and google contact. When I then create a phone contact this automatically changes into a google contact after I reboot the phone. Why is this and how can I switch this automatic conversion off?
When you first logged into you're Google account when you first got your n4, you left the box ticked that says backup phone content with Google account.
AFAIK the only way to get back to that option is to factory reset
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
It's a LOT easier to leave it as a Google contact as they'll be automatically restored should you ever change Android phone. You won't have to re-add them
Thanks for your reply. I actually did not leave the box ticked. I also have Backup my data unchecked in settings-->Backup&reset. I also switched off all syncing. Do you have any other suggestion? With andriod 2.2 I did not have that problem. Phone contacts always stayed phone contacts.

Then use a diff email app instead of the gmail one. That way you can have your email and not use the Google contacts.

Thanks for the tip. I now removed the google account from the phone and that works well.

[Q] How to change the default contact save location from "Phone" to "Google"
I always forget to change the location before save.
Can i change the default location?
I remember that my old se arc can change it.
I'm pretty sure it asks you where you want to save when you enter a new contact.
Thanks Devs. From my VZW G2.
Not even sure why there is am option. Bugs me you can save stuff to the"phone" when it should be automatically saved to Google.

FWIW, it is my preference to exchange all email via an alternative mail server, for privacy and security.
My Gmail account does not exist on my phone, so there would not be a reason (for me) to use anything other than phone contacts, calendars, etc., bypassing Google altogether.

Yes I was having this problem saving new contacts. I thought it was a problem with root or my clean rom install them realized my contacts were saving to att phone book and new entries would not sync so I was entering the same contacts in practically every day. Had a duh moment them switched to my Google account to store my contacts.

When you tape the "+" button to add a new contact, you have a list of your contact storage places (phone, google, sim, etc...), juste switch to your google account to save your new contact to it

He wants to set in the built in Contacts app, that contacts save to his Google account by default. I looked in on your instructions, and there is no clear default there.
I wondered the same thing to.

Sorry, not contacts storage, but just plain contacts. Its under all apps. Scroll down and you will see "Clear Defaults". Next time you save a contact it will ask again which account to save it under and you choose Google this time.

It actually dosen't change. I tried it, and it remains the same. It just defaults it to phone contacts.
I just went to contacts, pressed the + sign to add a new contact, and it went to Google by default. Not sure why its not working for you.

Going to Phone Dialer -> type in # -> hit Add to Contacts -> select New contact, the New contact window will pop up, at the very top, tap on the drop down menu, choose either Phone or Google or SIM. Do the rest.
