[Q] How sort google contacts?

How does one sort google contacts? situation is: i have all of my phone contacts backed up via gmail. though when i add them to my phone i also get a ton of random email addresses in my contacts on my phone, so therefore i have to go through everytime and delete all of them.
how do i create just a folder on gmail so it will only sync those contacts and not email addresses?

Going off memory (phone upstairs and to lazy to go get it) but
you can't control what syncs, but there is an option in the Captivate contacts to only show contacts with phone numbers.

Go to your contacts on gmail and move anyone you don't synced to your phone out of the "My Contacts" group.

this will still allow me to sync them to the phone?
i did realize "my contacts" does include many email addy's.

Gmail used to add all contacts to the My Contacts group including those that you just email without you specifically adding them, it no longer does that but you do need to go through the My Contacts group in Gmail and uncheck all the ones you don't want synced from the My Contacts group. They will just then be available under Other Contacts I believe in Gmail and not synced.

Stock the Captivate won't currently sync just My Contacts. Cognition gives you the option to hide the others. (In contacts>menu>more>display options>google then select which groups to display

[Q] Contacts Issue

ok here is the thing...
i installed Superfroyo 8.4.6 rom on my htc legend today, and i have this problem that i dont have phone contacts (or My Contacts), i can only see Google Contacts
i dont care my numbers gets synced with google but:
i want to join the contacts with facebook contacts so i'll have their pictures from facebook.
which i can.. but then i want to use other app for showing my contacts (like Dialer One) and it only shows the pic from google and not from facebook, in stock contacts i see facebook pics..
in stock htc rom and in cyanogenmod 6.1 RC2 where i had phone contacts i could see the facebook pic in every app..
if i go to contacts, then click menu and 'display options', i can see only my google account and no phone contacts..
if i add a contact it doesnt save it to phone.
does anyone knows how to fix it????????

ohh i forgot to say
that i also installed an app called youlu Address Book and i thought it will recognize the facebook pics but its not..
however when i press menu - settings and then on switch account i can see:
Mobile <0 Contacts>
and my google account <174 Contacts>
i swithced to Mobile and tried to create a new contact but it sends me to the regular add contacts and saves it to my google account..

yeah i had this problem with my phone too. i dont know why but all the roms that have that froyo interface ie not eclair all dont show sim contacts. its really annoying but i never found a fix for it, so all i did was go onto my google account online and just put in all my sim contacts there (i just put my sim in an old phone to see my contacts rather than putting an eclair rom back on, and then going back to froyo)
sorry dude i dunno how else to fix it besides that

Help. My contacts dont show up.

Hi Guys,
I have Bifmod 2.1 on my G1 and I dont see all my contacts when I tap on the Contacts tab in the phone application. I have installed phonebook 2.0 . In this app, I could see the contacts that I dont see in the stock phone application. However, in the phonebook 2.0, I dont see all the numbers for a Contact. I see only one number.
Could somebody help me understand what should I do to see all my contacts in the Stock phone app? I like the Stock phone app but I dont see all the contacts ( the newly added ones do not show up at all). If the newly added contacts call me, they are shown in the call log, but they are not shown in the Contacts tab.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hans

First dumb question... you signed into gmail?

Yes, I have signed into Gmail and have imported my contacts from my SIM.

Looking for help adding Google Contacts

I am looking for help in loading my Google contacts to my rooted NC. I have Google Voice working. I can type in a phone number manually to send text msgs. I can also rec'v them
To load contacts, I tried:
Export from gmail to a vcard file
Used an app called 'import contacts'
​ note: I had several 'bad entries' that I skipped and the process said it completed, but still no contacts.
Lastly to use contacts in GV, do they show up when you click the 'To' button when composing? Maybe the contacts are there and I am doing it wrong.
Lastly, I check the reg old 'contacts' app and I do not see them their either..
Any help is appreciate.
I absolutely LOVE the NC rooted.. Cant wait for HC or GB to take this all the way home...

[Q] CM7 Some Gmail Contacts dont Show. Why??

When I loaded CM7 Nightly, RC2, RC3, and now CM7.0, some of my contacts dont show up. When I manually type in the phone # then it shows there name and pic but its not in the contacts.
This doesnt happen on any other rom. When I go back to the Desire HD rom all the contacts are there.
This isnt facebook contacts, just regular Gmail contacts. It doesnt make a difference whether I select "show contacts with phone #s" or not. Either way a few contacts just kinda disappear.
Anyone else having this issue? I imagine a some people probally just dont notice a few contacts gone
Thanks in advance

i see the same problem. so then i logged into the gmail website, went to contacts, and turns out google completely altered the way contacts are set up. previously it was "my contacts" was what you used and got synced with your phone. now its just one huge list of everything, so certain contacts may or may not show up in the list. i'm pissed cause now i have to redo all my contacts again.
