[Q] How to remove Gmail and Hotmail (samsung mail) contacts from contact list?

Hi,
All my gmail and samsung (hotmail) contacts are showed in 'Contact'. I managed to remove samsung (hotmail) contacts from Phones contact but I cannot find a way to delete Gmail contacts from phones contact list.
I deleted 'Samaung mail' (hotmail) contacts by removing the account but it is not allowing me to remove my gmail account (Prompting me to factory reset).
Please help me. My phone contact list is full of gmail and hotmail friends and contacts copied to SIM card don't even show up in the contact list. How can I remove Gmail and hotmail from phones contact?
Thanks in advance.

hi, how did you do the hotmail contact import? which sofrware you use?
i tried that but failed.

So you want to Import all you hotmail contacts to phones contact list? or you want to delete them from your contact list?

If you just want to hide them you can go to the contacts app then hit the menu key and choose display options and deselect "Google". This doesn't remove the contacts from your phone but will hide them in your contacts list.
Hope this helps.

OMG...Thanks you very much littlegreiger. I was annoyed by all those unwanted contacts in Contact list.

Thanks for the tip!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

The best way to deal with this is to go into options and tick the box that says "Show only contacts with phone numbers" ...

@ Roy Ngan ...Just add your hotmail account using 'Samsung Email' app. All the contacts from that accout will be added to your phone contact list.
@ sturmeh ...Thanks

Import Contacts from Hotmail Into my Samsung Epic 4G Sprint phone
I just got rid of my HTC touch pro cause of hacking problems and low security and decided to try the EPIC SAMSUNG 4G provided with SPRINT..so far Im not impressed with the flexibility of many applications such as the blue tooth is far less flexible in features then with the WINDOWS mobile and its apps...I also am having a hard time getting rid of downloaded notifications at the top of the app that appear after you make a sync and send over contacts or other files.....Were am I going with this?...I tried to move my contacts over by importing them into the new devise like it would work with a windows mobile devise by simply adding the hotmail account. That doesnt work at all or didn't for me! I set up the hotmail account but there was not option to import the contacts after. None of my 1000 contacts imported into the new EPIC phone. So I attempted to do a blue tooth sync. This also didn't, work It said it sent across 998 files for contacts but instead it only sent over 400 now I dont know what is missing and need to completely restart the phone to try another method. I have tried going into the sprint store and moving contacts their but they are not any better. The last time I tried to transfer my contacts from one HTC to another they moved the contacts but omitted the notes section and also the category leaving me clueless to who the people were since many have the same name and I left notes, it did this to all 800 contacts at the time. It seems this is a pain in the butt. Does anybody know how to import hotmail contacts efficiently into the EPIC PHONE ..Help.

Hi All,
I'd like to come back to the original question:how to delete a bunch of contacts.
I know how to show only the ones from google, but the others are still there and I want to set the space free. deleting them one by one is an effort I'd like to avoid.
Thanks

Email application HTML format?

Thank you all for knowledge distributed thru this super cool forum.....
I have setup hotmail account under Email application under Setting -> Accounts and sync and successfully getting emails. however format of email is plaintext. Can I change that to view them in HTML?
thank you in advance!

If you use the samsung email application part of social hub it gives you the option to open in html or plain text.

i see the pictures, and that is not the default Samsung Email hub client
check inside Samsung Apps
install the Social Hub Push Email and IM
then configure your emails accounts with it

Where can I download this app from as it's not installed on my vibrant already and I didt see it in the market?
Can you provide apk file link somewhere on the web please?

forget it
use K9 instead, it might be easier
if you use Gmail, then the build in Google Apps email client is way better, not the one you have on the screen shots

Hi folks,
I have the same problem, but until a month ago, the integrated client e-mail showed the e-mail in HTML format, but suddenly went into text mode.
I'm sure it was in HTML, because I remember Facebook notifications and Nikon' newsletter and they were perfectly displayed in HTML.
For social hub and samsung apps in italy at the moment is not available Social Hub push mail and IM but only Social Hub.
Thank you
Daniele
(sorry for my english)

[Q] Email application HTML format
Anyone has suggestion? At this point i'm froyo update to solventi the problem.
Daniele.

Probably I found the issue.
I have three accounts: 1 IMAP and 2 in push. The first one works well, the second one not. Probably the problem is on hotmail server and not on the email app.
csci1000 do you have set your account in POP/IMAP or in push?
I found some information on this link: windowsteamblog.com/windows_live/b/windowslive/archive/2010/08/30/hotmail-now-supports-push-email-calendar-and-contacts-with-exchange-activesync.aspx
Ciao

Can I reset the device without wiping the music??

Hi guys..as u all know, some friend deleted my 'wallpaper' folder...now I have some 10gb of music which obviously don't want to delete..at the same time, I want the cool wallpapers...
So if i factory reset my hd7 ...wwill I lose all my data???including msgs and contacts...??

Short answer, yes. It's essentially a wipe.
Long answer, sync it to Zune frist, essentially backing up your tunes on your PC.
Text Msgs, etc, are gone. Contacts should be synced to the cloud (gmail, live, exchange) and can be resynced after a wipe. I recommend a live account (hotmail, msn, live), as the integration is really tight.

Thanx a ton!!
I got the wallpapers luckily..was looking in the wrong section...but I have a question...You mentioned that the contacts will be synced with the Live account...where can I look for it??
I mean, on my Live ID, where do i search??
THanx again!

For me, I use Hotmail. When I log into the Inbox, I simply hover over Hotmail at the top, and a little dropdown appears allowing me to choose contacts.
Failing that, pretend you're going to write a new email and click the to: button to add contacts. Should show you what it has. However, it'll only show contacts that have email addresses that way, so you're likely to get better results using the first method.

Just check the Settings-->Email Accounts first to ensure you're even syncing contacts from your live account. For me, I'm only syncing email since I'm connected to Exchange.

Factory reset and hard reset do the same thing.

What is 'merge with Google' in contacts for?

What is 'merge with Google' in contacts for? It didn't do anything upon clicking. I was assuming my social network contacts will get uploaded to google but nothing happened. I don't have any contact on phone and SIM if that is what it is supposed to upload.

iirc, it should merge all your contacts into your google account, so if you ever swap phones, you can just sync the contacts to the new phone instead of backing them up to a microSD and reimporting.

I guess with this button you upload your phone's contacts to your google-account.
btw. Does anybody know how to upload your facebook-contacts to google?
When i decide to merge a fb-contact with a googlecontact it will be merged on my phone only, but not on google. When I flash a new rom I need to merge all contacts manually again. this is so sad. solution? =)
Thanks in advance!

No way to do that at the moment. There are a couple of options to ease the trouble though.
1. Rename your google contacts to be the same as your facebook contact and upon adding facebook account sync, it will attempt to "auto" match contacts based on names. (Not applicable to everyone as sometimes they will use some names for their facebook profiles like "Playboy Randy", etc....)
2. Input your facebook friend's email into your google contact account and upon merging , it should come up right on top of the list of suggestions.
3. Not so recommended way is to use a backup software and backup all your contacts to it. Upon restoring it on phone, you retained all your google and facebook contacts merged but you cannot use google sync anymore as it will create duplicates on your phone. :-(

Further, what is this for?

Dun trust this button. It varies from ROM to ROM. Basically, in the perfect scenerio google will backup all your market links and wifi password, bookmarks, etc into the google server and upon installing a new ROM and after signing in to google, it will attempt to redownload all the applications from the Market and restore the wifi password, etc.
I had this checked all the time but after flashing about 100 Roms, it works 2 or 3 times the most

Yup, i updated firmware but nothing was restored. Sometimes Google fails to deliver at all.

At least we can backup all apps with titanium backup...

After clicking it, I am seeing duplicate contacts. All Google contacts are duplicated. Don't use this stupid button guys!

its true its an evil button/command and a very big mistake to click it but in case there are others out there who just like me clicked this command... here is what i did to restore my contacts as to the previous status
1. use your computer to access your gmail account (the one you merged the contacts with)
2. click the red gmail button somewhere at the upper part of the page (its hard to miss coz its red)
3. the drop down menu will be revealed and choose contacts
4. the merged contacts will usually be placed under the "My Contacts" group
5. select all of the contacts (all contacts should have their check-box checked, right beside them)
6. you should see the button "More" at the center of the page, click that
7. click export to google CSV type (first bullet, and make sure to export all contacts, the outlook CSV format will export it to excel type format which will mess up your phone numbers if you have saved the numbers using the +(country code) format; the plus will be removed in excel and even the zeros before your numbers will also be removed)
8. use kies to restore the contacts from the contact file generated from gmail using the import/export button...
9. do note though that google and samsung kies has somewhat different type of field naming and arrangement so your contacts will have different labels and all... that's what you get for pressing the merge button

Why do you want $50 for pro? I uninstalled instantly when I saw that.

I would rather have snail mail.

We get that a lot. Creating and maintaining high performance search index of all your emails involves renting out always-on secure cloud servers. In order to pay our server bills and keep the service ad-free we have to pass a small fraction of our costs to the customers.
Besides that, we have modelled the free tier keeping 90% of users in mind. You need not have to think about paying until you have your 4th email account. Isn't that generous?

I guess it makes more sense if you use different services and then use this to unify them. I use hotmail
I have my own personal email from my domains etc but I only add hotmail to my phones.

Subfolder Notifications
Will there ever be an option to enable push notifications for other subfolders? I'm using this for exchange and have been searching for a good looking email client. None have push notifications on subfolders. If you offer that, I'd easily pay 50$ a year. No (good) email clients have this functionality on android.:good:
