hello,
I have a problem, I installed an update and I do a wipe, but I have a backup nandroid, the problem is that the backup do not want to do and now I lost all my contact . is there a way to retrieve my contact list of saved nandroid.
MOD EDIT: REMOVED LINKS
if you have root install this app. it will backup all your stuff
since you have a nandroid backup, you should be just fine to retrieve the data. i highly recommend installing cyanogen's recovery image (link in my signature) and you can do the nandroid restore straight from recovery mode.

FINAL AND LAST WARNING!!!
Back to the question.. Is it really an issue? Within a few minutes of registering the device your contacts will load back in from GMail. If they don't, sounds like something is wrong.

Correct, all contact info should sync back from GMail. You can even export your GMail contacts to a file if you're super paranoid about losing them.

This is true, but since hes talking specifically about a nandroid restore, he may have customizations on his contacts (ringtones, etc) that he would otherwise have to manually reset. A nandroid restore would bring this back up to speed far faster than manually going through and setting everything.
Found out today it appears that if you sync your contacts with Google you cannot use them in Groups on the Galaxy S.
CS had backed up contacts from Hero to Google then when they came down into the Galaxy S they were all flagged as Google contacts and would not appear in the Groups add contact list.
Has anyone had any experience with this?

Open your contacts, click on Menu you should see "Display options". Click on it and expand your Google Email account and tehre should be a list of Group in your GMail Contact list. put the check mark on all of the sub group you have under GMail. Then all contact will show up.

MODS PLEASE MOVE TO HERO CDMA Q N A SECTION....
as for an answer.....i'd check the trash can after you delete it.....some times on gmail i can delete it from my inbox and it'll be in the trash but yet it still shows so i have to delete it from my inbox then go to the trash and delete it permanently
i think that's how almost all emails work. that is a good thing because if you deleted some message you received on accident that was important then you can easily retrieve it from the trash can before you "dump the trash"
sorry guys, forgot i was in that thread.... so then theres no setting as to which i can just make them permanently delete? i get alot of trash i dont need

Try, Settings, Incoming Server Settings, and then select "Delete email from Server" at the bottom of the settings.

What rom and I'll flash it and post exact directions on how to do so just for you bud
FWIW hotmail or live accounts have been and probably always will be buggy on phones. Sometimes they don't sync right, they almost never delete properly, etc. You could check from a computer in your hotmail to see if there's any settings for your account that may allow this/make it more functional, but, I wouldn't get your hopes up.

Hello
I tried to sync my contacts with facebook for android but in stock messages app my contact pictures doesnt shown.. In contacts everything are ok. I tried with samsung's sns and contact pictures are weird so i dont like it..
Anybody could help me ?
i tried with SyncPix doesnt work for me.
Why nobody helps ? (
Hey buddy try this,
Go to settings, Accounts and Sync make sure you've added a facebook account then click on "sync contacts". This should do everything you need. If not it could be an issue with the contacts not having facebooks linked with their number or something?
SyncMyPix is a great app that I use to syns the pictures between facebook contacts and phone contacts.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nloko.android.syncmypix&feature=search_result
You have to make sure that the contacts names are typed exactly or very close to their facebook name, or go through one by one and manually connect them yourself.
Hope that helps

Hello
Pictures shown in contacts but not in messages..
ok this may be worth a shot
go to contacts. first thing, make sure you link that contact's different account icons like facebook/google/sim/card info for the same contact must be linked/merged
After that, enter the contact, hit Options - Mark As Default and select the picture you want
i'm sorry, i'm not 100% if this will solve your problem, but if you haven't tried it already it might help.
I am having strange problem.. I have 2 or 3 contacts of the same name and email ID listed in my contacts .. donno why there is a duplication ..
may be it is one of the side effects of all the ROM changes
Can anyone tell me if there is any tool that will delete the duplicate contacts and merge similar contacts for once and all ??
I hate to see duplicates when am searching for a number...
You can "join" contacts together.
They might have done that because of different services/apps that sync contacts. I have that too. Like Facebook and Google. I just joined them together.
Hey there
its not because of changing rom, but because you may had updated contacts via google and facebook, as already stated that you can join contacts, as well as connect your mobile via kies and go to contacts and you can delete multiple contacts which wont have number...

i see multiple contacts withing google .. .Facebook and other stuff are different and i am ok to Join those contacts ...
deleting them in a pain as I need to look into each one and see if it is exactly the same as the other and then delete or join ..
Hence the need of a tool that can do the magic ..
Hey there
theres even an option to hide the contacts which dont have numbers!!!

I would be interested in that too, if someone can actually suggest a tool and not workarounds, as the OP asked.

Best and easiest solution is Download Go contacts EX from Play store for free.
Open Go contacts - menu- Merge - By name / by number / by Email...
That's It...

I think this is what you need to do...go to your gmail account, better from your pc/laptop for quicker result. Under google logo, click on "gmail" and then choose "contacts", you'll be presented with contacts manager, now the word "gmail" have changed to "contacts", look further right you'll see a dropdown dialog called "more", click that and select "find and merge duplicates".
Click "thanks" if it helps you...

If I do this and then flash another ROM, will I get duplicates again?

This actually sounds good. Let me try this. Will it work if I go do that stuff from note or I should do it only from PC?

Either way should work, but I prefer using my laptop screen as it's a lot bigger while fine tuning my contacts details.
I did that from my PC and swell.. it did merge a staggering 1500 contacts :-D ...
It looks much more neat now.. All i have to do now is merge the contact between FB and Google ..
Now comes the second interesting part.. once i join the FB and Gmail contacts ... lets say I wiped the data and moved to a custom ROM.. Will I have to join the contact again at that point ??

I think you'll have to join the FB and Gmail contacts again, but that would not be much difficult as your phone will automatically suggest to join those contacts as long as they use same email address in both FB and Gmail.

To remove all the contacts, go to Settings/Apps and clear data for Contacts and Contacts Storage.. that will delete all the contacts from your phone.. but with the next sync, all will come again..
EDIT: to permanently remove the contacts, calendar entries from your phone, clear data for contacts and calendar and then remove the google account..
Note: that does not remove your contacts and calendar entries from google.. once you configure the same gmail id, all will be synced again..

If I select "all other contacts", it doesn#t show any of my contacts and if I select "My Contacts", it shows me al the google contacts again, not only the phone contacts. It's anoying, because sometimes I have 4 entries for the same person

Is your google sync on and do you take and restore local backup of your contacts? Looks like your contacts at google are messed up.. so what you can do is to go to contacts.google.com and clear out the entries.. then sync your phone..
Later when you create a new contact, make it a google contact.. the above option will work then and you will alleviate the risk of replicating your contacts..
I had also faced the same issue where before flashing a ROM I used to take a local copy and then restore.. it resulted in multiple entries for same contact and calendar at google's end..
But what if I don't want to sync my phone with google?

In that case, after you have configured your phone with your google account, go to settings/Accounts and select google.. there uncheck all the entries you do not want to sync.. for example if you want to sync only gmail, then uncheck all other than gmail..
ok that works, thanks!
But annoying to always delete these google account contacts

great it worked..
it is the design.. perhaps some later android release will ask whether the user wants to sync contacts etc.. till then we need to live with it..
