I have a tmobile g1 that isnt rooted and after using it fine for quite a while recently I am unable to save any of my contacts. Everytime I make a contact and I save it, after about 5 minutes, the contact dissapears. can I fix this problem?
Have you tried syncing your google account with your contacts after you saved them?

Hi there, I've had this problem since day 1 I own the Galaxy S. I've tried every method, clear off everything and re import from Sim card, tried to clear duplicates using Contact Analyzer 2, but still, duplicates randomly appear again and again.
My sim card seems to duplicate itself everytime I flash a new rom or SYNC contacts from facebook/twitter. So, I untick display sim card. Seems to clear off. Then, I realise that in each of my phonebook contacts there are several similar contacts merging into one! This is crazy! I am getting tired of this.
I have 1000+ contacts and it's crazy to delete duplicates one by one. That would be 3000+ contacts to delete or so.
Your help is appreciated! Thanks!
i think maybe is is the Google contact...this is happened in my SGS too and it is named as joined contacts
i have a similar issue
i had to manually Merge or link duplicated contacts from different profiles together
and I happen to have 17 accounts in my phone
so i had to uncheck the box to NOT SYNC the other accounts that i don't use often
else it turns into a major bloody mess
Damnit guys, I lost all my contacts. Wtf, SGS contacts are not easy to manage. I didn't store contacts in Google. I should have, now I can't retrieve my contacts back!

Sync all of it to gmail then use gmail via web browser to del contacts. Faster.

How do i do this?
At one time I was able to save contacts to gmail. I no longer get this option and when I sync "Contacts" the newest ones do not make it to my GMail account. How do I fix this, and/or how do I set GMail as default save location? Thank you, sorry if this has been covered a lot. I was unable to find my same problem via search.
nobody? 10char..
Info might help... what ROM are you running? Are the contacts saved to phone or SIM currently? If you add a contact to your Google account (from the gmail web) does it make it to the phone? Does anything else Google sync like calendar, reader, etc?

Cog 4. All contacts saved to gmail. Unless they're new they saved to phone and cant sync to gmail. Hence this thread. Was able to sync them by putting them into gmail first and syncing to phone. But how do I go back to doing it from phone to gmail? There use to be an option after I would insert a new contact.

Sounds like one if 2 things. A bad flash or Gmail not being set up on the phone. Everytime I add a new contact it gives me the option to save to Gmail as long as Gmail is installed on the phone.

I had the same sort of problem after flashing Cog 5 beta 2. The phone never asked me where to save the contact the first time and it defaulted to the phone. While in the contact app, hit menu/more/settings and select where to save new contacts.
Hope this helps!

Hi everyone
I really appreciate so much if anyone could help me solve this problem. I recently have flashed the rom Nextgen v3.2 on my HTC HD7, after that I realized a little bug with this rom. It's about the People contacts, whenever I receive a phone call or any text message, my cellphone just displays the name that I have saved in the sim card, although I did untick the Sim Item in Filter contact list. Because the names which I saved in the sim card are so short and simple so I am too difficult to know who calling me or sending me message, I just want it to display the names in window live contacts. Anyone can help me fix this problem?
resync the contacts again...i had the same problem...i resync it and den no more problems

once you sync your SIM contacts into your phone they will be updated on your windows live account.....login into your windows live account on your desktop and you have to first delete the sim contacts from your live id...odor else everytime you sync your live account on your phone the sim contacts just pop back up....
So delete those on your account and sync your contacts

Thank for your help. Finally I fixed it already. I deleted all the contacts in Window live, after that I export contacts from the Simcard to Window Live, and resync from Window Live to my phone. Finally, the problem was done.
Thank you one more time for your help.
Happy to help
Click thanks if I was helpful
And change the thread to solved
Hey Guys,
probably is something stupid but I really don't know where looking for and how fix it.
I have my vCard file from HTC HD2 with Android 4.0.4 and I want to import the contacts to my Xperia Z1 and when I click the button Import I got the message: Memory Full. Could not import contacts!
I got more than 1gb free on my phone.
Someone can explain what happening?
Nobody have this problem? WTF? How I do now?

Not sure why you are doing this, why don't you sync you contacts from the HTC to your google account, then they will automatically sync to your Sony phone if you are using the same google account

I never did that and now I can't because my HTC is broken, but I did a backup of my contacts so I don't understand why I can't backup the contacts to my Z1. This is a problem on my phone anyway, why?

I have never been able to import a vcard sucessfully, have you tried searching the net, there are some youtube vids and some discussions on xda?
The easiest way is probably going to be to import the contacts to your computer, then use PC companion to sync them to the phone. Can I suggest in future that you store the contacts in the google account for your phone, that way whatever android phone you get in the future the contacts will be synced automatically after you attach the account.

Of course, one of them is this one: http://www.sonymobile.com/us/suppor...ntacts/backup-import-and-send-contacts-ps101/
Very easy, I click on Phone, Contacts, Menu at the right bottom, I click on Import Contact, I got: Memory Full.
On Sony Web site they saying to select Back up Contacts from vCard, where it is on Z1?

I can't to my computer because my HTC don't working. Also I was never worry to store my contacts in google account because we have the option to backup contacts in Android, the problem is that option is not working, why?
Now I am forced to store the contacts in other ways but how I will back up more than 200 numbers from my vCard Today?
Someone know how extract the contacts from vCard? That will be enough.
I really don't know why we are discussin this, surely you all back your contacts up to your gmail account....

You right, I don't know how but I was just trying to synchronize my gmail account right now and all the contacts appear on my phone. :victory:
I was 100% sure I never did that with my HTC and I remember when I back up to vCard.
Also I logged into my gmail account month ago and nothing happened so I was completely convinced.
Btw, Import Contact don't working but problem solved.
Thread Closed.
Thanks Guys.

Never solved the problem. Like never solved the problem installing (massage:no sufficient memory on phone) updates even if I have space on my internal memory.
I always used vCard because I never liked to store my contacts on a server, kind of paranoia privacy!
..but I give up so now I do not do anything than just log into my google account (play store) and they show up.
I think you have to do the same, log into your account and import contacts.

hmm...better than nothing...some conflicts solved doing so..good..:good:
I'm sorry for digging out so old thread, but I have the same problem on my good, old Xperia Z. I have free space on internal memory, I recieved the e-mail with some vCard attached and I can save or even open it. All I get is this message "memory full could not import contacts".
Do anybody knows how to solve this problem?
Thank you.
Ok, heres a new one for me. Contacts on phone will not sync to google for some reason. I added a few contact to my phone list and when i tried to sync them to my google account, it erased ALL of my contacts, phone list empty. Restored my back up and got them back and tried again and same result. Tried flashing my rom again and no contacts or favorites synced to the phone. Restored my back up again to get them back but for some reason it will not allow me to back up to google account. Any ideas ???
Solved
