If you open settings for contacts, do you get some options like 'Contacts to Display', etc?

there's no option like "contacts from telephone" or somethin like that.
btw: Is there any possibility to remove all contacts at once?

To remove all the contacts, go to Settings/Apps and clear data for Contacts and Contacts Storage.. that will delete all the contacts from your phone.. but with the next sync, all will come again..
EDIT: to permanently remove the contacts, calendar entries from your phone, clear data for contacts and calendar and then remove the google account..
Note: that does not remove your contacts and calendar entries from google.. once you configure the same gmail id, all will be synced again..

If I select "all other contacts", it doesn#t show any of my contacts and if I select "My Contacts", it shows me al the google contacts again, not only the phone contacts. It's anoying, because sometimes I have 4 entries for the same person

Is your google sync on and do you take and restore local backup of your contacts? Looks like your contacts at google are messed up.. so what you can do is to go to contacts.google.com and clear out the entries.. then sync your phone..
Later when you create a new contact, make it a google contact.. the above option will work then and you will alleviate the risk of replicating your contacts..
I had also faced the same issue where before flashing a ROM I used to take a local copy and then restore.. it resulted in multiple entries for same contact and calendar at google's end..
But what if I don't want to sync my phone with google?

In that case, after you have configured your phone with your google account, go to settings/Accounts and select google.. there uncheck all the entries you do not want to sync.. for example if you want to sync only gmail, then uncheck all other than gmail..
ok that works, thanks!
But annoying to always delete these google account contacts

great it worked..
it is the design.. perhaps some later android release will ask whether the user wants to sync contacts etc.. till then we need to live with it..

What do I WANT it for, exactly?
Secondly, I just want to backup my contacts because Google Sync won't Sync my contact photos. I want my contact photos to save. Do I... backup the contact app?
Tibo is for flash junkies who like to flash roms like crazy It basicly restores your apps without loosing any data. My google sync works fine It saves Pictures with contacts.
I personally don't like to backup becouse for some reason when you update those aps that were restore dont work or it downloads and hangs. But to each its own.

I just want my contact pictures to save to my contacts, and for my contacts to be saved to Google.
To backup your contacts to your phone you could just click menu from the contact list and select export.
To backup them with google you just have to select the option Sync Contacts under Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> your gmail account
it is usually selected by default though...
after that, wait for it to sync and check your google account from your computer and go to contacts to check if they are there
the pics are backed up as well; they will not show on the contact list on your gmail account, but click on a contact and it will show you the picture
just as easy as that, if you flash/change/etc your phone, when you put your google account afterwards it will download all your contacts with their pics from google

It's never synced with my account. Never.

From what I can tell google does not sync a contact if it dies not have and email address. If I am wrong can someone tell me how to do it/ I have created contacts under google on my phone that do not have emails and they do not show up in my Google contacts on my computer. Google does not sync any of your "Phone contacts", at least not on my phone
Try going into Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> your gmail account again and this time press the menu button and click Sync Now.
Thanks! I tried but it did not work.
Something is wrong with your phone. On mine, every contact entry that I made on the phone shows up on my gmail contact list. Some don't have email addresses at all.
you could also try to make a backup by exporting the contacts, flash a new rom and try to sync again
are you on stock or on a custom rom?

Are your contacts saved to your phone or Google. My Google contacts sync, phone contacts do not. Google contacts without email don't sync either.

I am confused. Why would I need Google Contacts to Sync?
I have no Google Contacts. I copied all my SIM Contacts to my Phone. From there on out, how to make them Google Contacts, I'm at a loss.
I don't need my Google contacts to sync since they sync fine. It is the contacts that are saved to my phone that will not sync to google. I do not want to backup my contacts to the sim card since some of them have multiple #s. When you backup to the sim card each phone number under one contact is saved as an individual contact giving you multiple entries for one contact. My phone is still stock. I did a master reset to see if it would help with the shutdown issue, which by the way, did not help. It just created problems with all my contacts. Some were lost and others now have the wrong numbers associated with them. The only contacts that stayed the same were the Google contacts. The phone contacts were all messed up. I plan on getting the phone replaced under warranty and don't want to go through the headache of having to redo all the phone contacts again.
Just looking for a way to completely backup a stock phone. AT&T address book is useless now because of the JH7 update.
Hi,
I have contacts synced with gmail from before with my nexus one, and now with my galaxy I can't sync any new contacts. I mean it completes the sync on my phone but when I go to contacts the new contacts I have added my phone aren't there and I have to add them manually. but it does add the new info I have added to existing contacts.
Weird thing, what reason can cause this?
I have reflashed many times and it's the same with every other firmware or re-flash. I am using stock JPY with SpeedMod kernel.

You can try updating you gmail client then try to sync again or reinstall the gmail app.
I have updated all my apps to the latest version via market, but it still won't matter.
Did you check your display options? Are your gmail accounts set to show the contact names? Or check if all possible categories are checked in the Gmail Account options? Maybe there is something with your contacts categories and visibility settings?

Well the thing is that it shows all contacts in gmail with no problem, even if it was gonna be hidden in the contacts list in gmail, it should be synced with my device atleast and show the newly added contact in my contacts list. but actually... it doesn't even show new contacts after device syncs with gmail

I meant in contact list.
Here->
contacts>more>Display Options and then check your google account options.
But if that doesn't solve your issue, give a try on some other Android device?

Hello
I tried to sync my contacts with facebook for android but in stock messages app my contact pictures doesnt shown.. In contacts everything are ok. I tried with samsung's sns and contact pictures are weird so i dont like it..
Anybody could help me ?
i tried with SyncPix doesnt work for me.
Why nobody helps ? (
Hey buddy try this,
Go to settings, Accounts and Sync make sure you've added a facebook account then click on "sync contacts". This should do everything you need. If not it could be an issue with the contacts not having facebooks linked with their number or something?
SyncMyPix is a great app that I use to syns the pictures between facebook contacts and phone contacts.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nloko.android.syncmypix&feature=search_result
You have to make sure that the contacts names are typed exactly or very close to their facebook name, or go through one by one and manually connect them yourself.
Hope that helps

Hello
Pictures shown in contacts but not in messages..
ok this may be worth a shot
go to contacts. first thing, make sure you link that contact's different account icons like facebook/google/sim/card info for the same contact must be linked/merged
After that, enter the contact, hit Options - Mark As Default and select the picture you want
i'm sorry, i'm not 100% if this will solve your problem, but if you haven't tried it already it might help.
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...

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 ..

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...

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...

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.
How do i totally delete a contact which is saved to my Device?
EVERY SINGLE TIME it shows a pop-up. I want to TOTALLY DELETE a contact. Not partial.
Your screenshot shows you what the problem is.....
Delete the contact from all of your linked accounts, start with Gmail. ?
