[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

duplicate contacts?

I have approx 300 contacts, and out of the sudden, it's now 500 because of duplicated contacts. Weird thing is the "extra" contacts are ONLY numbers. How can I remove those duplicated ones?
I did factory reset, synced, but still get those extra numbers. Help?
Are you syncing your contacts to your gmail? If so are there duplicate in gmail as well?
Yes, they are duplicate numbers without names in gmail.
duplicate contacts
Go to your gmail acct and look under contacts, select all the contacts and look for an option called "merge contacts". That should do the trick.
The phone restores the contact from your Gmail, so no matter how many times you wipe your phone, it'll still be there if you set up syncing with your Google account. You need to delete the contact you don't want from Gmail or in the phone manually.
Go on your computer, gmail, my contacts, and fix them up. The phone syncs exactly whatever you have in the my contacts sub group.
You only need to do this once, and forever on any android phone you usb will be perfect with your contacts.

[Q] Damaged link between Facebook contacts and joined contacts?

Hey all,
I updated my phone to 2.3.3 via Samsung Kies and did a factory reset.
So, I synced my contacts from Facebook via adding the SNS account, everything worked fine but I needed to add phone numbers to some of the contacts. Considering you can't edit Facebook contacts, I ended up creating a new contact to phone with the number and the name exactly the same and then using the 'Join Contact' to merge them.
The problem #1:
When I click new message, I can click the 'contacts' button and everyone with numbers are listed. I go to an untouched Facebook contact (With a number assigned to it automatically from Facebook) and click add but it still has an empty field saying 'to'. If I add one of my merged contacts, the number is displayed and it works fine.
#2
When a Facebook contact text messages me, only their number shows up, like its an unknown number which mean I have no idea who it is even though I have them as a contact. I go to that persons contact profile and the number that is assigned to them is identical, so why doesn't it show the contacts name?
If I go to the contact and swipe my finger to the left so it 'messages' them, in the 'To' field is their number only, no contact name.
Last but not least, no contact pictures show up in my Messages, even though they have Facebook pictures assigned to the contact
Can anyone help at all or at least point me in the right direction to solving this myth?
Thanks a lot everyone for helping me.

Facebook contact sync for photos?

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.

Multiple contact lists

Hi. I don't like the idea of shipping my entire contacts list to whatsapp. There are a limited number of friends I have whatsapp contact with and I want to keep this number limited.
So I backed up my contacts list, deleted all contacts, installed whatsapp, used xprivacy to block whatsapp access to contacts and then restored my contacts. People who have contacted me previously are able to get in touch with me and I can respond to them. However, first I have to get them to contact me: I cannot initiate contact.
I was thinking: if I could make a contacts file specifically for whatsapp to use...? Is this possible?
