I have two gmail accounts (one of them business), but for sending mail I have same contacts on both. By using the filter option of the original phonebook app, I closed one of the accounts contact. They are not seen in the phonebook, but they can be seen while searching vie T9 on the log.
Does anyone have idea about this?

Is your N1 syncing your contact's profile photo with their facebook profile?
Mine don't sync. I have to go to edit contact and do it.
N1 does recognize and pair the contacts with facebook profiles..just doesn't sync pictures.
strange!!! I have no problems with this... sync merges Google contacts & Facebook contacts along with the Facebook profile pics... unless there is a Google contact pic...
I have it syncing on some, but not all.
I have found the ones with problems either
A) Don't have a complete name in my phonebook
B) Have a different number in facebook.
Hmm.. quite wierd.
I am seeing a trend...
I was using HTC Sense 2.5 on WM. And all the contact whose photos were synced with facebook by sense 2.5, do not sync with facebook in android. And for some reason, gmail contacts (web, browser version) shows these pictures in contacts, but android does not.
I just deleted a contact's photo in gmail..and android instantly synced it with facebook.
im having this problem tooo! just noticed it today. i cant figure out why it wont sync tho!!....
You can go for this, worx nice

I find that Facebook only syncs people with first & last name on your contacts list. It doesn't sync only first names. I wish there was a way around that.
That is annoying, even my old blackberry would sync to partial names, and that thing is primitive in comparison.
Noticed a couple of things:
Address book names and facebook contact names have to be the same.
If you have a photo linked to the contact (i.e you synced from another phone to google and pulled the contacts back down) then you often have to specify that the phone uses the facebook profile pic rather than the pic held directly against the contact.
It's a bit of a faff around, and if you delete the pics from the contacts on your gmail account (as someone mentioned above) it should default to the facebook pic assuming there is one for the contact.
<edit> Also ensure you have facebook setup to sync friends into contacts. Facebook app -> Menu -> Settings -> Sync Contacts </edit>

This helped me. Thanks.
I could not add a facebook account directly in "Accounts", but enabling sync in the FB app automatically added it to "Accounts".
How does one sort google contacts? situation is: i have all of my phone contacts backed up via gmail. though when i add them to my phone i also get a ton of random email addresses in my contacts on my phone, so therefore i have to go through everytime and delete all of them.
how do i create just a folder on gmail so it will only sync those contacts and not email addresses?

Going off memory (phone upstairs and to lazy to go get it) but
you can't control what syncs, but there is an option in the Captivate contacts to only show contacts with phone numbers.

Go to your contacts on gmail and move anyone you don't synced to your phone out of the "My Contacts" group.
this will still allow me to sync them to the phone?
i did realize "my contacts" does include many email addy's.
Gmail used to add all contacts to the My Contacts group including those that you just email without you specifically adding them, it no longer does that but you do need to go through the My Contacts group in Gmail and uncheck all the ones you don't want synced from the My Contacts group. They will just then be available under Other Contacts I believe in Gmail and not synced.
Stock the Captivate won't currently sync just My Contacts. Cognition gives you the option to hide the others. (In contacts>menu>more>display options>google then select which groups to display
Hi there,
These two topics I was wondering about and haven't found any answer here.
I had phone number on SIM card when switched to Captivate, copied all of them to phone's address book, then linked all accounts to facebook and gmail... now I'm switching the roms and I'm loosing all those numbers which were on phone (new entries I add only to gmail account, so they are going with me when i'm first syncing)
So anyway is there some way to move all the phone numbers from phone to google account so when I switch roms I will sync all the contacts?
And the calendar is always adding entries as default to phone's calendar and not my google calendar, is there a way to change this default value?
Thanks in advance,
Dima
download Google Calendar Sync.
The simple question would be: what's the best way to sync all my GMail and phone contacts and have them be accessable through both platforms? How do you organize your contacts?
The more detailed explanation is as follows:
I use GMail a lot and have many contacts saved on my gmail.
I also have roughly 400 contacts (phone numbers only) saved on my HTC One.
What's the best way for me to sync the two? Some of the GMail contacts are also contacts on my phone.
I tried playing around with the sync options but ended up transfering ALL past e-mailed contacts to my phone. For example, I've e-mailed college professors 5 years ago one time about class and somehow their e-mails were synced to my phone as new contacts. It was a mess to clean that all up. And how would I prevent future e-mailed contacts from being saved to my phone?
At the moment the phonebook on my HTC One is set to only display contacts from my phone itself (so I don't see the contacts from GMail).
Move all your contacts to Google: https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?tab=Cm#contacts
That way it will backup your contacts as well as sync them to any device with your Google account.
Personally I have my phonebook set to only show Google so I only see these contacts.
additionally, do all your contacts cleanup in your pc browser on your Gmail account

This has been driving my crazy since I got the phone, and I thought it was a combination having multiple email accounts set up (gmail, @Live, @aol, @corporate, etc.). However, I've cleaned out my contacts from my non-Gmail list, and still have this issue.
The issue being:
I have my Gmail synced from all-time, so from 2008 or whatever it was. When I compose an email in any of apps (Outlook, AOL, Exchange, Gmail, etc.), ANYONE who I've ever emailed with on my Gmail account will pop up as a contact. So if I begin to type my friend's name in "Michael", rather than having 3 Michaels pop up, I have about 50 "Mi..."s pop up.
Anyone have any clue how I can remedy this so that only the 150 people or so I have as actual contacts will popup instead?
Thanks!
Anyone? I hope the solution isn't "root"!
If you go into your contacts, bring up your menu click contacts to display. go to customize and uncheck "all other contacts". If I have it checked under my Gmail accounts I have 1484 contacts, Everyone I have ever sent/got an email too/from, Craigslist addresses, mailing lists, spammers, etc. unchecked I have 160. I could be mistaken but I vaguely remember an option on the gmail webmail client settings (years ago) to add anyone you talked to into your contact list. On my old note 2 there was an option to only display contacts with phone numbers but I can't find a similar option on the turbo though so you may still have a few unwanted ones if you have email only contacts.
Seemed to have worked, thanks! Now working on getting my Exchange to remove some unwanted contacts, but this was huge!!!
Thanks!!!
No sweat, glad it helped!
