Hello,
I've flashed my Sensation Xl to JB 4.2.2 with Evervolv-3.2.0-runnymede_20130313. Everythins fine but I've lost two options on contacts.
1. There is no combine option for a contact. For example I can combine contact X's google and/or telephone contact with his/hers facebook, whatsapp, whatsoever account. It also recommends to combine the smilar names, numbers into one.
Then If I do this, I could see all his different account details of the same person from his contact card, if he is already on my other accounts. When I click the contact card, was asking options to call/sms him by mobile no, skype, viber, whatsapp etc.
Now, this option lost. Same contact shows 5 times in the list for his different accounts or none of them shows (only for his phone number).
Is this the new JB 4.2.2 behaviour or this rom somehow has different contact app?
2. Again there was another option named 'Contacts to display' and I can chose "Phone only", "Simcard". "Google Contacts", "Facebook" etc.
Now, "Simcard" and "Phone only" options gone. Also I can not add a contact to phone or simcard (No option for this anymore). Google only.
If I delete my google contact then try to add a contact, it asked either login to goole or the new contact will be stored in local.
Answering no, goes to local and add the contact to card. But as soon as I log into google it transfer this local contact to my gmail account and delete from google.
Long story short; I can not store my contacts in local(sd card) and backed up to google at the same time like I did before.. One or the other only. But what if I do not want to store my contact details in my gmail account only. I want to be sure to keep them in my sdcard and/or sim, Just in case I couldn't reach my gmail account in the future. Btw; no option the see my simcard contacts anyway.
What did I do wrong.
I appreciate for any kind of help.
Thank you
i wonder if there is a way to replace miui contacts with google contacts, it seens to be some problems with this. 1- contacts won't synk therefore will not update from google account 2- there is a problem with ok google and i wonder if that is a problem that couses ok google from dialing ot texting. any solution to this will be useful thank you.

I don't have that problem except ok Google when screen is locked, have you granted all permissions in the permissions app and auto start the apps.
For Google contacts, you can download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.contacts&hl=en
Try this

Ya, that's what we're saying in the GOOGLE OK not working thread. but hey, you got contacts working. that was driving me nuts for a long while.
Oh, also depending on which messaging app you use, I use hangouts, the person that's "related" to a phone number may not update even if you have that person's phone number in contacts. It's a painful way to fix it, if you have lots of this happening, but it's quick enough. lmk if you want that.
Right
Recently picked up the Note 9. Ive noticed in my contacts I have several google accounts called Started in Android. I have 5 or 6 of them. I dont have any contacts starred. Anyone else notice this on any of their other phones or know a fix? Its driving me nuts. Ive looked through contacts, calendars, gmail, and duo to find where these potential groups are and cannot find any trace of them so not sure how they got there. Was able to remove my google account for the play store and confirmed the numerous starred in android contacts groups were removed. Readded the account and they were added back.
Anyone else have this on the Note 9 as well?
EDIT: Screenshot attached

You may have to clean it up from the actual website from a computer.

As I said, Ive already been through Google contacts, calendars, gmail, and duo. The groups do not exist on a phone or from a web browser.

My suggestion was based on your comment. Everything you mentioned that you have done could've been done from your phone. I have noticed in some of my situations that some things only cleared up when I did it from a computer. I just wasn't sure you had tried that. The only other thing I can think of is that you have multiple accounts selected to show contacts that are duplicating things

I do have multiple accounts selected to show like the screenshot you provided, but only sync contacts from my Google account under the account settings. Removing the google account specifically removes all the contacts and Starred in Android groups so there isnt anything on the local phone. I can also replicate the issue by going into Google contacts on a PC, removing all contacts, syncing the phone, everything disappears including the duplicate groups. Recreating a single contact adds 5 more Starred in Android groups that are irremovable.

I am out of suggestions then. If you find a solution please be sure to post it. This will surely be an issue as more people get the Note 9.
I found this thread with the same issue:

Looks like Google is aware of it, started working on it, and ultimately dropped it.
Hey guys,
I'm looking for a solution on how to specify which contactlist is to be shown in the telephone app (NOT the contacts app)
right now, my S10 displays ALL contacts, from all sources (google accounts, simcard, phone contacts) together and thats just a mess....
I want it to show my contacts from my google account only...
So is it possible to select a specific contactlist to display only?
please keep in mind, that I am talking about the contacts in the telephone app, not the "contacts" app.
thanks for your help
oh, no one with this problem?
I also have this issue. On Huawei's EMUI it was possible to choose the contact list including groups when using Google.
Same problem but no solution... ):
I'm using the Groups-Icon in the contact list to filter. But it's kinda annoying. It's faster to search for the specific contact.

thank you for your screenshots, which actually show how to create a new contact and where to store it.
But my problem is, that I want the telephone app to show contacts from one specific source only...
For example: show / display contacts from gmail-account X only...
In Google play if we click on contact developer as we all know it takes us to gmail and we see the subject ( the name of the app) but recently I noticed if I click contact it takes us to gmail with empty subject and I need to write the name of the app in the gmail subject! How to fix this?
Thanks

are you developing an app and trying to make that feaute work or are you a user wanting to contact a dev about an app?
if its the second, there are parameters that need to be filled in order to have that work, im betting those parameters havent been filled
Yes I mean 2 . The subject parameter was always filled automatically by the the name of the app, but now it's empty.
Do you face the same issue ?????
Guys share the results with us plz
