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

yes but i want to replace the app, besides to the problem mentioned, i dont like it, and the option "show contacts whit numbers only" is missing..
Previously I installed a modificated version of the contacts app that I found in another XDA forum to sync the facebook contacts because that cant been done before. This have something to do with the problem?

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

ok here is the thing...
i installed Superfroyo 8.4.6 rom on my htc legend today, and i have this problem that i dont have phone contacts (or My Contacts), i can only see Google Contacts
i dont care my numbers gets synced with google but:
i want to join the contacts with facebook contacts so i'll have their pictures from facebook.
which i can.. but then i want to use other app for showing my contacts (like Dialer One) and it only shows the pic from google and not from facebook, in stock contacts i see facebook pics..
in stock htc rom and in cyanogenmod 6.1 RC2 where i had phone contacts i could see the facebook pic in every app..
if i go to contacts, then click menu and 'display options', i can see only my google account and no phone contacts..
if i add a contact it doesnt save it to phone.
does anyone knows how to fix it????????
ohh i forgot to say
that i also installed an app called youlu Address Book and i thought it will recognize the facebook pics but its not..
however when i press menu - settings and then on switch account i can see:
Mobile <0 Contacts>
and my google account <174 Contacts>
i swithced to Mobile and tried to create a new contact but it sends me to the regular add contacts and saves it to my google account..
yeah i had this problem with my phone too. i dont know why but all the roms that have that froyo interface ie not eclair all dont show sim contacts. its really annoying but i never found a fix for it, so all i did was go onto my google account online and just put in all my sim contacts there (i just put my sim in an old phone to see my contacts rather than putting an eclair rom back on, and then going back to froyo)
sorry dude i dunno how else to fix it besides that
Hi there, I've had this problem since day 1 I own the Galaxy S. I've tried every method, clear off everything and re import from Sim card, tried to clear duplicates using Contact Analyzer 2, but still, duplicates randomly appear again and again.
My sim card seems to duplicate itself everytime I flash a new rom or SYNC contacts from facebook/twitter. So, I untick display sim card. Seems to clear off. Then, I realise that in each of my phonebook contacts there are several similar contacts merging into one! This is crazy! I am getting tired of this.
I have 1000+ contacts and it's crazy to delete duplicates one by one. That would be 3000+ contacts to delete or so.
Your help is appreciated! Thanks!
i think maybe is is the Google contact...this is happened in my SGS too and it is named as joined contacts
i have a similar issue
i had to manually Merge or link duplicated contacts from different profiles together
and I happen to have 17 accounts in my phone
so i had to uncheck the box to NOT SYNC the other accounts that i don't use often
else it turns into a major bloody mess
Damnit guys, I lost all my contacts. Wtf, SGS contacts are not easy to manage. I didn't store contacts in Google. I should have, now I can't retrieve my contacts back!

How do i do this?
hi everybody, I don't know if this has been alredy asked, but I couldn't find it...
I had the android 2.3.4 on my galaxy mini... I've just got installed the CyanogenMod 7.2 RC1...
Well the thing is, this rom has a different contacts app...
In my 2.3.4, my stock contacts app, had the option no syncronize with facebook, without having the facebook for android app installed... This way I had all the pictures, the phone numbers, even the last post on the wall of ever one of my facebook friends right below the picture...
All this things I don't have it in this new contacts app on the rom...
Can anyone help me to get the stock contacts apps from de 2.3.4, or at least, one that have the option to sync with facebook...
thanks in advance...
Just install Facebook for Android and let the sync begins...
Samsung gives syncaccountfb.apk preinstalled which let the device add Facebook contacts on device and do many Facebook tasks I will upload the required app if anybody wants

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."

Hey Guys,
probably is something stupid but I really don't know where looking for and how fix it.
I have my vCard file from HTC HD2 with Android 4.0.4 and I want to import the contacts to my Xperia Z1 and when I click the button Import I got the message: Memory Full. Could not import contacts!
I got more than 1gb free on my phone.
Someone can explain what happening?
Nobody have this problem? WTF? How I do now?

Not sure why you are doing this, why don't you sync you contacts from the HTC to your google account, then they will automatically sync to your Sony phone if you are using the same google account

I never did that and now I can't because my HTC is broken, but I did a backup of my contacts so I don't understand why I can't backup the contacts to my Z1. This is a problem on my phone anyway, why?

I have never been able to import a vcard sucessfully, have you tried searching the net, there are some youtube vids and some discussions on xda?
The easiest way is probably going to be to import the contacts to your computer, then use PC companion to sync them to the phone. Can I suggest in future that you store the contacts in the google account for your phone, that way whatever android phone you get in the future the contacts will be synced automatically after you attach the account.

Of course, one of them is this one: http://www.sonymobile.com/us/suppor...ntacts/backup-import-and-send-contacts-ps101/
Very easy, I click on Phone, Contacts, Menu at the right bottom, I click on Import Contact, I got: Memory Full.
On Sony Web site they saying to select Back up Contacts from vCard, where it is on Z1?

I can't to my computer because my HTC don't working. Also I was never worry to store my contacts in google account because we have the option to backup contacts in Android, the problem is that option is not working, why?
Now I am forced to store the contacts in other ways but how I will back up more than 200 numbers from my vCard Today?
Someone know how extract the contacts from vCard? That will be enough.
I really don't know why we are discussin this, surely you all back your contacts up to your gmail account....

You right, I don't know how but I was just trying to synchronize my gmail account right now and all the contacts appear on my phone. :victory:
I was 100% sure I never did that with my HTC and I remember when I back up to vCard.
Also I logged into my gmail account month ago and nothing happened so I was completely convinced.
Btw, Import Contact don't working but problem solved.
Thread Closed.
Thanks Guys.

Never solved the problem. Like never solved the problem installing (massage:no sufficient memory on phone) updates even if I have space on my internal memory.
I always used vCard because I never liked to store my contacts on a server, kind of paranoia privacy!
..but I give up so now I do not do anything than just log into my google account (play store) and they show up.
I think you have to do the same, log into your account and import contacts.

I'm sorry for digging out so old thread, but I have the same problem on my good, old Xperia Z. I have free space on internal memory, I recieved the e-mail with some vCard attached and I can save or even open it. All I get is this message "memory full could not import contacts".
Do anybody knows how to solve this problem?
Thank you.
