Guess not.... Soooooo annoying having the emails and google+ profiles and everything in there
I think the only way to do it would be to have them in separate groups from the email only and g+ contacts. If under contacts hit the menu button and select contacts to display you can go custom and select your google account and just select the groups you want

Hi All,
Just got my Vibriant and had a quick question. I send alot of group emails and text messaging. I sync'd all my exchange, gmail and facebook contacts and they all show up under their own specific groups. I am able to create a group, but when I go to add a contact, it says no contacts? I also, try to go to the specific contact that I want to add but their is no where to select a group?
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
Ha, I thought I was the only one that couldn't figure this out. I gave up after screwing with it for 5 minutes.
I think grouping is not available for google contacts. Its only for "phone" contacts

OK that explains it all my contacts are google contacts.
So would I need to import some how the corporate contacts that I have to the phone contacts to customize my own group? I will try... Another thing that I notice, I have 384 coporate contacts and if you long hold your corporate group you can check mark the contacts that you want but for me that's a long process...

Android market, search XDA
Hey All, just uploaded an app from the marketplace called "Groupy" and it solved my problem! You can pick contacts and move them into your groups you created in your contacts! Once you do that you can go back into your contact app and send a group sms!

I have the answer! I had some problems with this as well. The best way that I have found to do this is:
1. Download Contacts2Sim from the marketplace
2. Use it to transfer all of your contacts to your sim card
3. Select the contacts you want and go to your phone and transfer them one by one from sim to phone.
4. Now that they are on the phone you can set up groups using with the contacts that you just moved over.
5. Once you set up your group, go back to contacts2sim app and delete the contacts from the sim
6. Restarting the phone will remove the duplicate entries from your contact list.
That should be it. Took me a day to figure it out. Any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected] or post a reply here.

Hope this helps someone, I downloaded Groupy and was about to D/L another app; I found you can set sms groups with the android software (SGS) NO OTHER APP NEEDED;
1. copy contact from SIM to phone
2. open contacts
3. go to groups
4. open menu and create your group
5. open your group and select (add) contacts
happy group SMSing
When I first got this phone I synced up my contacts from my computer but now I've merged everything on gmail, is there a way to remove all the contacts on the phone leaving only the ones from gmail?

Any ideas? I don't want to got through and delete contacts one by one, and as out is now the names that show up from phone calls and texts are the numbers on my phone not the gmail ones.

go into contacts then display options
uncheck everything BUT phone
then go to groups
create a group call it something like delete add contacts to group select them all
when done long press on group choose delete
then select delete group and members
then go back and recheck google in display options.
Thank you for that. I never would have done that on my own

No problem. Happy to help where I can.
So, has anyone found a dialer/address book that will merge google and facebook contacts? It's just strange that the Revolution can't do that.

Rev does it... The facebook app asks you when you first use if you want to do it automatically. Or you can do it manually by using the steps below:
Select the contact from the contacts list.
Press the Menu softkey.
Select Edit Contact
Press Menu softkey again
Select Join
Select a contact to join.
Awesome. Thanks.

How to disable SIM on my contacts? I only want to appear my google contacts and saves evrything. Thanks

They shouldn't show up unless you import them. If you view your address book on google using a web browser do these contacts show up? You should be able to delete them.
Menu display contacts.

Hello guys
I changed my phone to z. Restored all the contacts from my old phone to new one.
After this is done. For few contacts I can't find their name or number when I search it using smart dial or phonebook search. But when that user calls me up his name n no. Flashes on the screen n stays in the call log. Later vanishes.
Could anyone help me to get all those hidden contacts.
Thank you.

Did you make a backup of all your contacts on Googleaccount on your previous phone
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Nope. I dint backup to a Google account.
I used wondershare mobilego.
My old phone was HTC wildfire we could not keep 2 Google accounts in it old version of android so I dint backup n dint want to mess up my primary account.
N in this phone I backed up all the contacts to a gmail account.
But I can't find it in phone.
I.e. When I try to find contacts In phone home screen last tab after favorites. Three persons icon where u can find local groups n Google account
In Google account the count is 0 , though I backed up the contacts.

Go to your contacts, optiond -> filter, expand the gmail account you used and make sure the correct group has a tick in the checkbox.
Thank you.
But in gmail account I checked all the sub fields.
When I backed up all my contacts to that gmail account.
After logging into gmail from my pc I'm able to see those contacts.
But in phone I can't find them under the Google account tab.

Re-sync maybe?
Could be duplicated numbers or names?
Sent from my C6603 using xda premium
Yup.
I had so many duplicates must be *3
Coz I had the Facebook sync on old phone.
That's the reason I used mobilego app to delete the duplicate. It worked well.
Still I have few duplicates. Very few I don't bother much with it.
But if I factory reset n sync my gmail account will I be able to restore my contacts.
I doubt coz I'm not able to find them in my phone.
I'm planning to root. So will have to be doing a factory reset many times. I'm new to root.

Resynced everything contacts calender etc.
No change

Sync your contacts to Google than open your gmail on your pc and check if all your contacts are there before doing a factory reset.
In gmail there is an option to merge all duplicated contacts

This happened to me too. I found out the contacts merged somehow O_O it's apparently a problem that other people have (Google it) as well. I painstakingly just unmerged every single one manually
Check if the contacts are merged!

My Z merges contacts with every single reset or flashing of the phone. Became a bit wearisome.
