My phone (S8) for some reason has an All Contacts AND a My Contacts in the contacts. How do I delete one? I have OCD and it's driving me nuts.
Can you provide a screenshot or a link to the screenshot?
for example: if you go to contacts > settings > contact to display > it shows you those 2 options
or
are your contacts duplicated?
in case of duplication, contacts > manage contacts > merge contacts. you can also set default location there. Mine is set to google.
Here is a screenshot.
My volume buttons aren't working very well, so I had to use smartselect.

You may want to try this long winded solution. Click on the All group. Select one of the contacts appearing there. Click on Edit. Scroll down to Group. Then unselect All.
Save and then repeat for the remaining contacts that appear under All.

I have an eris. Maybe I am missing something but it is syncing over 800 contacts and I have no way of telling it to ONLY sync a specific group. Did this option disappear or is this a bug?
thanks

Uncheck "Show auto Gmail contacts"
hit done and that will no only show your contacts you made

This works but doesn't allow you to only sync contacts that are in the "Phone_Contacts" group, for instance. In 1.5 you could select which groups from your google contacts to sync to the phone, but now I think that option is gone.
When I add contacts to my address book, I can not find them afterward.
I know they are there because when the contact calls me the phone recognizes the caller but if I browse through the contacts list I can only see my old SIM contacts that I had on my SIM card before I got the N1 and contacts from my GMail account.
What am I doing wrong?
Have you got some filters on?
Go to settings in the contacts app and check
When I open contacts, I click the touch button that looks like a few horizontal lines. I select Display options and it takes me to a new page that has my gmail account. In there the first option "System Group" is the only one selected.
Are those the filters that you refer to?
contact>> display option >> gmail accounts >> check all the checkbox
it should be appear now..
Is it possible? Its pretty annoying having a phone number list of well over 500 people... I just want my PHONE contacts to be there, not facebook. Anyone know?
I think all you have to do is remove it from "Accounts". It will still allow you to login to the app, but wont pull all yoru contact info. I had this issue with my Hotmaill account and that is how i stopped it.
If you want it to keep syncing but only see your google or sim contacts, you can change who is viewed in the contacts app by clicking the top where it says "Contacts: All contacts" and picking a different menu option. (this will not effect the contacts part of the dialer)
Alternatively you could add some contacts as favorites. And those could be more easily found in the Dialer since there is a contacts menu.
Contacts > Menu > More > Settings
Uncheck facebook account
At least I think.
There you can check Phone numbers only as well to remove all contacts that do not have a phone number associated with them.

Also if you set up linked accounts in the blur accounts section you have to delete all of them except the actual blur account.
The Social networking/messaging and a few other widgets won't function though.
I guess the work around right now is to remove accounts, create a list with everyone on it, then add back on facebook. Whenever you view contacts, use the new list you made.
I was just using it to sync pictures. I removed the account and downloaded syncmypix from the market. Free and easy.
Also, another "fix" would be to go into contacts-> menu-> settings-> then selecting "phone numbers only". This wouldn't necessarily get rid of every Facebook friend from your contacts list, but since most (at least of my friends) don't seem to list their phone numbers, this should cut down your list dramatically.
I tried the above tricks but in the end the only way I could find to get rid of them from the Dialer contacts (which has no options at all) was to remove the account.
Thanks for tip on pics sync, that's all I wanted too. The actual Facebook app and Facebook widget do the rest.
Is there a way I can have just my phone contacts showing when I add recipient to an sms rather than all my facebook contacts too? Ive already tried to disable facebook account in the phonebook but it doesnt make a difference. I have to remove the facebook account altogether for it to show my normal contacts.

Tried that already, still includes everything when trying to send an sms, does that work on your s4?
Did you check the "Only show contacts with phone numbers" option? Path = Open contacts app, select contacts tab at the top, main menu button, select options, check Only show contacts with phone numbers box.

Tried that too but some of the facebook contacts had numbers too lol, ive just disabled facebook contacts altogether now.
lol Did the same a long time ago, having them merged wasn't worth the hassle for me.
Previously there were options in the contacts app to import/export and contact accounts (Google/WhatsApp/phone/sim). It's all gone missing.
No import/export and only Google account linked by default when creating new contact.
How to import/export contacts? And how to show various sources (WhatsApp/phone/sim) contacts in the contacts app as well?
hi buddy , i think u are at the wrong settings section. The image that you have attached is the Settings menu accessed from the Phone app.
Open your app drawer and look for Contacts . open contacts and open its settings all options are present.
