Cheers mate, but the problem is, I do this and two copies of the same person stay in there. I'm assuming it's traces of the contact left over from somewhere. Even if I delete the contact they stay there?
Errr you might have to figure out where your contacts are from.
Go to contacts > menu > filter.
Under phones contact and gmail contacts and etc, go through each one and check one at a time and figure out if you have duplicates.
For me I have all my contacts under gmail. So if anything happens I can sync it back all at once. You need to get into a habit putting all your contacts under one account so you won't be confused.

For the life of me I can't get some of my contacts to sync to google, instead of just being phone contacts. Any idea how to do this? I'm trying to get the contacts of a 2.1 sense ROM to sync to google so they will appear on my AOSP 2.2 setup. Thanks in advance.

I haven't used 2.1 since before summer, so I'm rusty with it, but when you edit a contact, can't you change whether it's saved to the phone or Google account?
I haven't seen that option anywhere. Ive been using aosp but nanded back to see why I was missing contacts and didnt see that option...

I am in the same boat...haven't used 2.1 for quite awhile, but I know there is an option somewhere. Positive.
One other way, if you absolutely can't get them to switch doing it on your phone, add them online and delete them from the phone (the ones that are phone contacts). But I know the option is there to change them somewhere. Maybe I will flash back just to find out where
Give those contacts a email address, even if its a bogus one. They will sync once you do that, or at least they did on mine.

What's the best way to have facebook sync? A custom ROM or something like HaxSync?
I tried flashing "flavours" from Matthew Huie (super_paws around there) that incorporates the "hidden" Facebook Sync but I didn't achieve anything (no contacts were sync'd, I don't know why, but gah... ).
I used for a while an app called SyncMyPix, only good for syncing contact photos (not rly good, tbh... the images were pixelated and sometimes not very useful).
So, last week I installed HaxSync that IS rly a beast: contact (both photos and status) infos are synced in a veeeeeeeery good manner and it does everything automatically. I think that with a few bucks you get a goooood app for the stock ROM. (it works on any rom ofc, but others may have a sync option enabled yet...)
my 2 cents
Where do you find hack sync? I've never heard of it. But I want to check if out.

Can you disable status update sync with haxsync? Also, does it try to sync ALL of your fb friends?.. personally, I'm just looking for a nice hi re contact photo solution.

For HaxSync, how do you guys get the contacts to merge because some people I didnt have their last name in and it came in as a separate contact. But now I added the last name and now i have one with the number and another one with the fb status/pic

Select first contact, edit, menu, join, select contact u want to join with... or if u want to actually merge into one, you can do it thru Gmail (select contacts from the left side), or Google.com/contacts

I think you need stock Rom to save contacts to SIM or there might be an app for it. Not sure.

There is option to import contacts to sim
^ Import means bringing in from outside. I dont think you can do vice versa in Non-stock based custom roms. Again- Not sure.
Just login to google account from pc, go to contacts, and delete them. And disable syncing. After that clear contacts data, and restore contacts from sd card
Yes. www.google.com/contacts/
I also had that problem. Log into your Google account via PC (as yackovsky already said) and just merge duplicates.
I also had the same problem i had around 6-7 same contacts then i use go sms pro and batcg deleted all .It took me almost one hour to do as i was having around 4000 contacts

I have three gmail accounts which I have configured on the Samsung Email app, but one gmail account doesn't sync. No matter how many times I turn on sync for that particular gmail account, it turns itself off. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Try clearing/resetting the data for that app or email account in settings/application manager.

No you are not the only one. The stock email app is a very poorly written app. I reset, cleared data many times. The same thing. Automatic push will work for the first hour or so, then, never managed to pull emails in a timely manner. I get random push, but when I check the time code, they are anywhere from 30 min to 3 hours late. GMAIL works as it should.
Either switch over to gmail or try K9. Works much better.
Any other comments? I would like to keep using Samsung Email app.

Delete the account or use gmail. It's obviously a problem with the junk app if you have all the options set to where they would go. Also when you post try waiting up to a week until you bump it. People will still see your post.

I know this post is a million years old but I just could not help commenting on it. It is response to post like this that makes the internet such a crappy place to be.
If you do not know the answer, please help find the answer. Even if it is obvious to you, it might not be obvious to us all.
If you do not know the answer, please stop saying, "Oh, its a crap program. Go use something else" It just mean that you don't know the answer and just want to be a troll.
Be more constructive and say, "Oh, its a crap program because..." < INSERT YOUR OPINION ON WHY ITS A CRAP PROGRAM > "...but if you really want to use it, you would need to..." < INSERT INSTRUCTION ON HOW TO RESOLVE ISSUE ASKED BY THE OP >
If you are not part of the solution, you are part of the problem. Everyone has a opinion. Where is your fact to back it up?
In any case, to those that comes here looking for the answer to the OP question:
Hit the <Home> button if not already there.
Hit the <Menu> button.
Select <Setting>.
If you have muti-tab menus in Setting, select <Connections>
Scroll down to <Data usage>, if needed.
Hit the <Menu> button.
Click on <Auto sync data>, to check mark it as on.
Hit the <Home> button, again.
Select the email app and sync.
If that doesn't do it for you, its because the email app is crap

You have to add people to "groups" in android. Add them to co-workers, family, girlfriends....etc. Then it's easier to view and no need for bold typeface. You can even email them all in a blink of an eye.
