So, I bought my XT890 and it came with several (8 or so) contacts that are quite useless.. like Emergency services and whatso ever.
The only thing is I cannot delete, when I try it returns me the follow message:
"You cannot delete SDN contacts from read-only accounts."
I have rooted it and unblocked, but I have no idea how to delete them.
Any one can spare some suggestions on how to?

Hello,
in an attemp to syncronize my htc tytn II with outlook 2007, I ran into a problem 80510014 saying something about profile mismatching.
After several atemps, I ended up in deleting my profile on my mobile device, hoping that it only deletes the setting.
Uffff, after a few seconds ...I had lost my contacts and everything else.
is there a method i could restore my contacts ??
thank you.
are the contacts on your computer/outlook?
forgot to mention, contact were not sincronized due to that error
main question here is: is there an option to un-delete the contacts once they were deleted by removing the profile ?
i believe once u've deleted off the phone its not possible to get it back...unless u used pim to backup before hand? i accidently did that as well because my AS did not work so i had to delete the partnership or whatever and it deleted all the contacts/appointments on my phone...but because i sync it everyday i have everything on my laptop so i just had to sync it back
Hello, I ask you for help!

Please help me!
Thank you very much

I need help about this question
Had the same problem, could get a fix, did a hard reset.
no haRD
I can't loose all my data again.....before make an hard reset i wait for more suggestions
I have the same problem, I installed Windows live, subsequently removed it, but the icon is still there.. bit weird.
Same problem here.
Also I've noticed that I can see my old emails (suposedly deleted from outlook) on the preview of tf3d, although on Outlook I can't see (obviously) the deleted accounts and it's messages.
My guess is that when you delete an account, the messages of that account aren't deleted and touchflo not knowing that you have removed that account keeps displaying those messages. Maybe a possible solution is to locate the folder were messages from deleted accounts are kept and really delete them.
solution?
I am getting the same problem. Any possibility of resolving this issue, without a hard reset?
After doing a hard reset for a different problem I put my backed up info back on (using the one created by htc) and since that time I've had this same problem. Did anyone figure this out yet? I really need to get rid of my gmail account to set it up correctly with imap instead of pop but I can't remove it because of this problem. Any help/links provided will be appreciated.
Does anyody have solution for this? After flashing new rom i wanted to restore my sms by sprite backup and it restored also some other mail accounts which are now stuch on touch flo screen and i cant remove them. I dont want to do hard reset again and loose my sms messages.
Also how do you restore your sms messages avoiding problems like this?

this is what i used to take care of the ghost accounts: SKTools
Found a FIX!!!
Here is what I used after doing quite a bit of Forum digging. This utility will repair the "Ghost" email accounts showing up in your TF3D, and make them re-appear in your list of accounts (Start/Messaging/Messaging). It has made me a happy camper...
Just copy the EXE to your device and run it. More information about this can be obtained here: http://www.etenblog.com/2008/02/14/recover-lost-email-accounts/
The program is pretty self-explanatory, so you shouldn't have any trouble recovering your ghosted accounts.

I had the same problem if your talking about the outlook account, and when you click and hold on the account it has a delete option but not clickable,... if this is what your talking about you must reset your active sync settings for your user, delete all of them, then re set it up as new account, but do not include sync for mail, that removed all the email accounts on my phone except hotmail, which i wanted to keep, hope this helps
any way to delete all contacts without deleteing one by one?
i've got 4 of everything!
thanks
Go to your google account online, it will prolly be faster that way.
I had a similar issue when I first bought the phone. The problem is that you inadvertently imported you contacts off your sim card, then once you signed in and synced up with google, it imported your contacts from there as well.
As supreme mentioned, go into your google account on a PC and manage your contacts that way, deleting the ones that are repeats. But to make sure it doesn't happen again, delete the database file through terminal or adb on the phone, THEN resync with google and you should have all the correct contacts as displayed in your google account.
woah! how do i delete the database lol?
and what database do i delete?
i can use adb but prefer terminal!
thanks
Currently, I keep getting force close errors when sending messages and creating or editing contacts, I really want to fix this so I thought I might as well try and root my phone at the same time.
Here are my questions:
1. Should I fix these force close errors before I root my phone. If so, how?
2. Does rooting my G1 mean I'll lose my messages, contacts, etc?
3. Is there anyway I can save my messages, contacts, etc before I root my phone and reinstate them afterwards? (If they are lost in the process).
I hope my questions aren't too stupid!
Thanks!
Giggity giggity...... don't bother fixing the fc's, they would be fixed in the process. You will lose messages, call log, browser bookmarks, internal save apps, almost everything on your phone when you wipe it. Your contacts are synced with gmail and will auto restore, any apps you purchased will be availible for redownload in my downloads in the market, they are also linked to your gmail. Back-up wise, the only programs that I know back-up on root only or you have to pay for use. So you are **** out of luck there
Gridlock pretty much said it all. But I will add one thing tho, there are apps that will allow you to back up your sms first without root. Just go to the market and look up "backup" and you will see a bunch of apps that you might want.
If you are having FC while sending messages my personal opinion would be to not backup and restore anything that has to do with those messages. Just imo.
Make sure you have data sync turned on and you do a manual sync before you root to ensure you have an up-to-date backup of your contacts.
Menu > Settings > Data Sync > Menu button > Sync Now
Thanks for the answers guys. I've come across another damn problem now that I've been trying to back up my contacts. I have a bunch of numbers on my phone that appear to not be in any 'sync group'...I select all contacts in sync group and then make my contacts sync. I check my g-mail account and its just got all my e-mail addresses but not my phone numbers. When I sync My Contacts it sends only a few numbers. I can view "Contacts With Numbers" but I cant seem to sync them.
Also, when I select 'all contacts' to sync I get that damn red exclaimation mark.
In an attempt to sort this, I selected all my e-mail contacts in 'All Contacts' and sent them to a new group called 'E-mail'. Then I selected to delete 'All Contacts' expecting to retain them in my new 'E-mail' group and it deleted ALL my bloody contacts including 'My Contacts'. I've now lost the few numbers under 'My Contacts' (even on my phone somehow...) and all my damn E-mails!
Can someone please tell me how the hell I can sync "Contacts with numbers" onto my g-mail so I can root my ****ing phone!!!
Are the contacts you lost still on your gmail account if so it will prob just resync them and you still have your contacts on your sim card also well just the ones you had before you started using this phone. The most I ever backup is my app data, bookmarks always give me a fc on the browser when I restore. I don't worry bout contacts though since gmail handles that
Well this is my problem. My g-mail had none of my contacts! When I got this phone it was a fresh sim card with nothing on. I put all my numbers in by hand. My numbers were last (fully) synced on 27th Jan 09. Everytime I sync, I get My Contacts only. All the other numbers fail to sync, I'm guessing because they're not in any group. Even if I select all numbers to sync they don't go to my G-Mail. I had about 15 number sync in My Contacts (before I deleted the buggers). Now I'll have to get those back.
I need a way of putting all my numbers that aren't in My Contacts, into My Contacts to Google will sync them! I'm guessing this is because they were put into my phone because the update where Google made all newly entered numbers go into My Contacts...Hmm
Right, I've sorted it.
Downloaded an app from the the market place called ExportContacts. Worked like a treat. It wrote all my contacts to a .csv. Simply imported them on G-Mail. Added them to contacts, deleted all of them on my phone and re-synced. AT LAST I CAN ROOT!

woot glad you got it to work and this is good info for general use as well
Perhaps I'll be able to sort this one out with the group's help.
How to merge/clean/eliminate duplicate contacts under "Phone Contacts" group? Some of the contacts seems to have up to 8 entries or at least it shows 8 times. And they all have the exact information.
If I try to link them, it says "Couldn't Link Contact". Not sure what is going on here.
And to clarify, I use "Phone Contacts" & "Exchange Contacts" only. No Google nor SIM contacts. I've disabled my Exchange account trying to figure this one out, since the Exchange account it is clean and concise.
Any help would be very appreciated!
Thank you!
Okay, upon further research it seems like the best way to go is to have Google Contacts & Exchange Contacts and to drop local Phone Contacts. So I have exported Phone Contacts into vcf file and imported back into my Google account - ironically there were never any duplicates, as I suspected despite the phone showing repeated entries. but this puzzle is beyond my level.
In any case, now I need to globally delete all 850 contact entries I have under "Phone Contacts". I can't seem to find a "Delete All" or "Select All" option to delete local contacts saved on the phone.
Am I missing something here?
TIA!
This keeps on getting better!
Tried following multiple Android forums about simply deleting "Contact" app cache & memory to realize they were referring to "Contacts Storage" app and not the "Contacts" app. Apparently this Sony only gives us access to the Contact app with the Contact Storage app not being visible.
Really? Do I need to wipe the entire phone to simply erase contacts saved on the phone? Even my freakin old Symbian phone had the option to select all contacts...
I also tried in vain to install the useless Sony Companion software but of course, no access to any contacts thru that.
Arghhhh!!!
