when i bought optimus 2x it was already rooted and has custom rom, (second hand) but i liked the custom rom its very nice, i know that without stock rom we cant able to connect Lg PC Suite ! the problem is that i need to Sync my contacts from that, i even tried with Csv files & Vcard apps on market nothing is working ! Guys can you please guide me how to get contacts on my O2X !
Waitng fo your reply guys !
Hmmm... you have your contacts in the PC Suite ? Or where the hell do you have your contacts?
Why dont you use gmail like everyone else?
Look... If you have a csv file or xml or anything else, create a new gmail account (if you are not owning one)
After you logged in into your gmail account, to the left upper side you will se the Google logo and under it the Gmail button with an arrow looking down.
Click on the arrow and you will get more options like "Contacts / Tasks".
Click on Contacts, and in the menu navigation of the Contacts, you will find the MORE button. Click on the MORE button and there you are going to find the IMPORT option.
Click on the IMPORT button and import your CSV document or anything else.
After that, just add your new account to your phone and sync it with your phone.
Thats it bro

As the subject indicates...
I have'nt noticed that i only had activated "showing LG PC suit contacts"
But i dont wanna use this, i wanna use the standard google one... but i see that all contacts stored after using this phone has not been synced to my gmail account..
Could anyone help me out?
I think this was raised in a random thread before.
The LG contacts only sync with the LG PC suite on your PC.
I don't think that once you have saved a contact as an LG contact you can change sadly. Only way is to select googlemail contact when setting up a new one and then copy / delete etc.
Pain in the backside
There might be a way though I haven't tried it out. You can Export all your LG PC Suite contacts using the Menu>Import/Export option in contacts
Then on your computer log in to your gmail and use the Import Contacts option in gmail to get the contacts from your SD card on to the gmail account
Delete all the LG contacts
Sync with the google account
Let us know if it works for you

Yes this is the right way. Bear in mind though that if you do that you no longer have the ability to sync with PC Sync. Pc Sync will show you that you do not have any contacts in your phone.
Thx guys... i'm not even sure why we need PC sync anymore...
I am having strange problem.. I have 2 or 3 contacts of the same name and email ID listed in my contacts .. donno why there is a duplication ..
may be it is one of the side effects of all the ROM changes
Can anyone tell me if there is any tool that will delete the duplicate contacts and merge similar contacts for once and all ??
I hate to see duplicates when am searching for a number...
You can "join" contacts together.
They might have done that because of different services/apps that sync contacts. I have that too. Like Facebook and Google. I just joined them together.
Hey there
its not because of changing rom, but because you may had updated contacts via google and facebook, as already stated that you can join contacts, as well as connect your mobile via kies and go to contacts and you can delete multiple contacts which wont have number...

i see multiple contacts withing google .. .Facebook and other stuff are different and i am ok to Join those contacts ...
deleting them in a pain as I need to look into each one and see if it is exactly the same as the other and then delete or join ..
Hence the need of a tool that can do the magic ..
Hey there
theres even an option to hide the contacts which dont have numbers!!!

I would be interested in that too, if someone can actually suggest a tool and not workarounds, as the OP asked.

Best and easiest solution is Download Go contacts EX from Play store for free.
Open Go contacts - menu- Merge - By name / by number / by Email...
That's It...

I think this is what you need to do...go to your gmail account, better from your pc/laptop for quicker result. Under google logo, click on "gmail" and then choose "contacts", you'll be presented with contacts manager, now the word "gmail" have changed to "contacts", look further right you'll see a dropdown dialog called "more", click that and select "find and merge duplicates".
Click "thanks" if it helps you...

If I do this and then flash another ROM, will I get duplicates again?

This actually sounds good. Let me try this. Will it work if I go do that stuff from note or I should do it only from PC?

Either way should work, but I prefer using my laptop screen as it's a lot bigger while fine tuning my contacts details.
I did that from my PC and swell.. it did merge a staggering 1500 contacts :-D ...
It looks much more neat now.. All i have to do now is merge the contact between FB and Google ..
Now comes the second interesting part.. once i join the FB and Gmail contacts ... lets say I wiped the data and moved to a custom ROM.. Will I have to join the contact again at that point ??

I think you'll have to join the FB and Gmail contacts again, but that would not be much difficult as your phone will automatically suggest to join those contacts as long as they use same email address in both FB and Gmail.
Hi,
Can anyone help me backup my phone contacts from my X8 to my N7000? Or even one better, move the phone contacts to my google account..
Thanks.
Re: [Q] move phone contacts
Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't the x8 android?
What system version is it on?
You should be able to just go to settings -> accounts and setup contacts sync with Google
Have you tried that?
Re: [Q] move phone contacts
This is what I did for my phone: set up your android with your Google account open contacts and add a contract manually it will ask if it should sync with Google select yes....then create a contract backup on your other phone and get it on your new phone with Bluetooth....then on the new phone select import contacts and import the backup.....once imported it syncs with Google and done

Thanks for your fast answers. Even though i didn't quite understood how i did it i was trying your tips and finally i have my contacts in my N7000 and they're merged with my google account.
But i obviously screwed up somewhere cuz all my contacts now appear duplicated!!
Oh my God, what a mess. Is there any easy way to fix this?
Thanks for your patience.

On contacts press the menu button then go down to "display contacts" or "contacts to display" there choose custom and remove unnecessary displayed paths aka sim card or hotmail or whatever you don't need.
Or if you haven't merged facebook with google contacts then they will be displayed twice. Just check the icon that is shown on the dublicated contacts and merg that with google or remove from showing.

This was very helpful, but all duplicate contacts are in google account in "My contacts" and are exactly the same contacts i had in my X8, i believe some error occurred while trying to backup contacts.. I'm afraid that even if i delete them one by one they'll still be in google and i would like to solve this.
Also if everyone doesn't mind me asking one more question.. I noticed the dialer keeps repeating same contact log instead of grouping all logs together in same contact.. Please check picture. Is there a way to solve this?
Thanks for all your help so far.
Found the sollution!
Contact Duplicates Removal: Found below solution. My only problem is I don't have a "Find Duplicates" button! I don't even see a right-side panel!! Be gentle!
"Open the Contact Manager.
Click the Find duplicates button in the right-side panel.
We'll display the duplicates we've found. You can expand them by clicking the details link next to each one and uncheck any that you don't want to merge.
When you're ready, click Merge at the top of the list."

Hello,
First, excuse my english, its not my native language. Thank you.
I used my HTC One with Cyanogenmod 4.2, recently there was a update to Android 4.3
After updating i lost my google apps as supposed since they are made for Android 4.2. This was my opportunity to get rid of google, so i installed K9Mail with Fdroid and imported my contacts with a .VCF file. Worked well.
I have just one mayor problem, I can't add new contacts to the phone. My phone app always want to add a new concact to my exchange account and i cant change it to anything else. I want to add new contacts to the phone itself, without any accounts like whatsapp/exchange/google...
Second problem that occurred: I can`t edit the contacts from the recently imported .VCF file, my Datamanager hang up every time when i want to add some Details.
Do you guys have an idea how I can add contacts to my phone?
Greetings Nox

Hi,
I have the same problem.
I can't add a contact on CM 10.2 (and before too).
Only when i account google, i can add a contact on the phonebook with google.
I can't never on the other account on my andoird (outlook, facebook, linkedin, or same local)/
Hi guys! yesterday I installed Cyanogenmod 11 4.4.4Kitkat (2014729) in my GT-I8190 and it works perfectly but i have one problem..
first at all, I'm from Argentina, sorry for my [email protected]#t english
Well, i have a problem whit my contacts provider, contacts manager, contacts app or whatever u call it. The story begins when I did the backup of my contacts, config, networks and messages whit Kies(yup, my bad [NOOB]), once installed CM, kies didnt read my phone(searching in forums I found out that Kies only read phones whit official roms ). Well, I only cares about contacts for now, so looking back to search in forums I could convert my .spb backup archive to a .vcf archive(one for each of my contacts), then I imported them to my phone from the contacts manager(the default in CM) and everything seemed to be fine, but wen I restart my phone and go to the contacts, I dont find them!! There are no any saved contact!!(WTF).
So, here is my solution: replace the default contacts app. I dont want to download other contacts app from the play store and also have the default one. I WANT TO UNINSTALL THE DEFAULT CONTACTS APP AND REPLACE IT WHIT ANOTHER APP DOWNLOADED FROM PLAY STORE OR ANY OTHER SITE. If for do this i need to replace the dialer app to, I dont care.
Can someone help me whit this? Thanks to all

i dont think its possible as all other contacts app such as contact+ and go contacts use the people app for the contact database...why don't you run them side by side..and use only the alternative app as default..i hear contacts+ is a really good option..also supports facebook and google+ sync and best of all its free

Have you checked if show contacts "all contacts" is selected in the options section of your contacts manager?
