Heyho,
on android 5 I went into the contacts app and set to display only one specific group of contacts on my google account and not to dsplay anything else. Still the dialer shows all contact of my google account. Am I missing a setting in the stock dialer app ? I believe in the past "dialer" and "contacts" worked together?
Thanks
I should add that the "contacts" app correctly hides/shows the contacts. But the "dialer app" will simply display ALL CONTACTS and ignores what I change in the "contacts app".

When i go to write a new message and click contacts I have multiple duplicate entries. When i go to contacts I only have phone selected/not gmail, facebook etc... and that works fine its just when i go to write a new text message and click contacts
You could deselect every display option in the contacts app, but all of your contacts will still appear in the messaging app. You should try to fix the duplicates by linking them together. Like this:
1. Open the contacts app and select someone who appears twice. (You may have to change display options since you only have phone selected)
2. Under "Linked Contacts" in their profile it should say "1 linked contact"-touch that.
3. Choose "Add link Contact" and find their duplicate entry.
4. That should work. You'll just have to clean things up a little bit.
That doesn't work fyi. You can link til you're blue, but integrated fb, sim, fb app, and google contacts show separately in the messaging app. I've never gotten around this.

[Q] Cant add, view or edit "Phone Contacts", only "Google Contacts"
This is really weird, I've had the phone about a year now but just today I decided to add a custom ringtone to one of my contacts, which even though I'd done it before, I couldnt find any way to do it again for another contact. All my contacts are google contacts synced with my gmail. So I went to display options to see if the phone contacts were being hidden but there isn't even an option to view them, only my google contacts. Tried to add a New Contact but there isn't even an option any more to save as phone contact instead of google.
Does anyone else have this problem or is it just me?
I am on a Nexus 6 with the latest Android 5 release. When I go to the contacts app and set to display only one specific group of contacts from my google account then the contacts app will only display those contacts. How ever the dialer app will completely ignore those settings and always display all contacts on any of my accounts.
In the past the contacts app and dialer app worked together. So when I told the contacts app to display only the group "work" then the contacts app as well as the dialer app would only display the conctacts within the group "work".
I tried deleting data from "contacts" app and "contacts storage" as well as the "dialer" app. I disabled syncing, re-synced, etc... dialer will always ignore the contacts app settings and since the dialer app doesn't have an option to hide contacts, there is no way I csn currently hide contacts with stock contacts/dialer app?
Thanks

I have maybe 10 contacts sync'd from my gmail but most are from exchange. When I go into contacts and try to edit one of the exchange contacts (have mailwise), it still says I can only save it into gmail. When I click on linked contact in the attached screenshot, it clearly says exchange
How do i fix this? I want to maintain all contacts in exchange and also save any edits directly there
When I go into contacts -> settings, under default account for new contacts, it only shows my gmail and it's checked
Have you ever been able to fix this problem? I have the same issue on several Android devices from different brands; none of the native Contacts apps is able to add new exchange contacts.
The only app that can add a new contact is "Contact Editor free" that I have downloaded from the Google Play store.
So. I have a problem that's developed over the last couple days.
I have all my contacts in Outlook.com. I added my account through the Outlook app and can see all my contacts through the app.
I have set the Contacts app to display contacts ONLY from the Outlook account but when returning to the app, it displays none.
I've checked by also asking the Contacts app to display ONLY contacts from WhatsApp. Although I don't have any stored, I thought it might show contacts from the app anyway. But none.
Tried the same with Messenger, but no Facebook contacts display.
Tried deleting Outlook app and reinstalling but no change. It worked until the last OTA update a few days ago.
Any ideas?
Turns out in order to sync properly, you have to turn it on in the Outlook app.
Open Outlook app
Click on Settings (the cog)
Click on the name of the account
Click the "sync contacts" toggle
