Guys, one stupid question.
Is there any way to customiz the Google contact sync. IE: I dont want to sync all my contacts from my gmail account. I know there is contact display options in ICS 4.0.4, But if we search any contact will appears all contact.
The reason is: in my car Bluetooth callers name is not showing, only number showing for most contacts. But some are showing as name especially starting with A,B,C,D..
after investigation found my car stereo + Bluetooth (pioneer) will support hug contacts in Bluetooth.
I remember there was an option for this in old ROM (2.3.x or...).
Advise please...

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

Hi folks. I'm struggling with my droid 3 and it's contacts upload to my car (VM bluetooth system). The contacts that are uploaded don't match those that exists in my contacts - some are missing, and there are some extras in the list. The contacts view on my phone shows only those contacts that I've defined in my google account.
Is there a contact list somewhere on the phone that's different than the one that is sync'd with google? I've tried to "un-verizon" the phone as much as I could, but I wonder if there's another database that the bluetooth passes to the car - perhaps managed by the blur update agent?
I am really stumped here...
When I first installed the NEX, my contacts where being sync'd from iCloud to my mobile devices via "Smoothsync for Cloud Contacts". This has always worked flawlessly and when I first paired my phone, the contacts were instantly read by the Pioneer and shown in its phone book.
But... I noticed that I could not send a hangout message to any of my contacts using the voice command. Evidently there is some required profile info Google applies behind the scenes to "Google" contacts that was not present in my "iCloud to Contacts" method of getting contacts from my Mac to my Android devices.
So, I moved my contacts to "Google Contacts", removed the Smoothsync account from my phone (removing my contacts from "Contacts"), and enabled syncing from my Google account. After a fresh sync, my contacts were once again displayed in the "Contacts" app, and within a few minutes I could send hangouts messages using the voice commands without getting the annoying "no profile" error.
But then I notice that only the "Me" contact is shown in the Pioneer's phone book. I delete the pairing on both devices, reboot, clear cache, re-pair, etc, etc, etc, and no change. I then edit my "Me" record on the phone and reconnect to the Pioneer and the edits are seen by the Pioneer... so it is obviously connecting to and reading from the phone contact's.
I then create a new contact on the phone, just to rule out something being munged by the contacts now in Google Contacts synced from my Mac, reconnect to the Pioneer, and still just the "Me" entry.
I can also export my contacts to a vcf file and send that over bluetooth to the Pioneer and they imported properly, so nothing seems to be munged with the data.
Now I know that I don't really need this, but the fact that it is behaving unexpectedly is driving me NUTS (I know, OCD)!
PLEASE... someone who is familiar with this mechanism... help me figure this out.
Thanks!
Hello
Just got my N6 last week and so far it's best phone i've ever had.
Everything is working exept contact sync against my VW company car.
My Note 2 workes perfectly in the same car.
The problem is that it syncs every google contact but none of my exchange buisness contacts..
I can see who calls on the phone, but the car just shows the number.
Anyone have a sulotion for this?

Export your exchange contacts and import those in the google contacts.
Exporting is no solution since i want to keep them separate.
Found the solution.
Go in to the "contacs" app and select "contacts to display". Set up a choice here that includes google and exchange.
Weird that i had to do this both sets of contacts show up in the phone app.
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...
