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
I've heard that if you had rooted/lagfixed your SGS, you cannot sync your phone contacts, is this true? Haven't installed Kies yet.
If this is true, can you please give me an alternative to sync my phone contacts with? I have Gmail and Yahoo Mail installed in my SGS, and YahooMail is syncd with my YahooMail contacts on phone, but not with contacts that is originally on the phone. I join contacts for them not to be redundant, and it's pretty annoying.
Is it okay to sync my Gmail contacts with YMail contacts then sync the GMail contacts with Phone Contacts????
not true
you can sync over the air contacts via Gmail, Hotmail, Yahoo Mail
and Outlook if you use KIES, or the WiFi Android Manager
OK so here is my problem... I have all of my google contacts and such, everything that i manually put in and then i have my facebook contacts. They are separate entities meaning i can edit all of my google contacts but i am unable to edit any of my facebook contacts. So I would like to know if there is any way to dump all of my facebook contacts into my database of google contacts so that i can edit a few things... any ideas?
Hi.
I'm using Android 4.0.4 (CM9). How can I synchronize my contacts with Facebook?
I want to get all my friends mobile numbers from Facebook into my phonebook with their avatars.
I installed Facebook app, added my account. Accounts menu in Settings are also configured with my Facebook account.
When I'm going to People --> Contacts to show --> facebook account, I see no contacts.
What I'm doing wrong?
How can I do that?
Thanks for any help.
use FriendCaster . work's better and synchronise all your friends and avatars .
You can also use this:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsInJvLndlZWRuZXQuY29udGFjdHNzeW5jIl0. AKA Facebook contact Sync
So my main goal is to sync my existing contacts with facebook so it will show their photos when someone calls or texts etc...
So in facebook there are three options:
Sync All - Sync data about all friends to contacts
Sync with existing contacts - sync data only about friends already in contacts
remove facebook data - remove facebook data from Contacts, Use information about friends only in facebook
Now, the second option seems to be the one I need, but what ends up happening is that ALL my facebook friends pour into my phone's contact list and it becomes a cluster. Why doesn't this work? Has anyone else experienced this?
get this app call sync me

Just open your contacts app and hit more/settings and tap on contacts to display and pick what contacts you want to show.
