So its really doesn't matter how but I have now every contact on my phone 3 times.
So I want to know if there's a way to delete everyone from my phone at one time and not each on individual.

delete the "Contacts" Cache under Settings - Applications - All, will delete any contact as far as I know. Did it last week accidentially when I wanted to clean the contacts stored on the phone because I am only using Google Contact Sync now.
thank you
I was looking for this thing, I recovered my contacts from a .vcf file and this resulted in lot of duplicates on my contacts.
Thanks buddy!

Last night I updated my wife's Epic to DK28. The problem is her contacts are gone and syncing doesn't bring them back. Why wouldn't they have saved to her gmail am I overlooking something. I have flashed my phones a lot and never had this issue.

check google/contacts online and see if her contacts are listed there. My wife had a similar problem and turns out when she added a contact she added them to her phone address book and not google.
http://www.google.com/contacts
They are not there is there a way to add them to Google after they are back in the phone?

can you get them back on the phone? Are there a lot of them?
I had a similar problem on the syndicate rom a while ago. It would say it was syncing for a second then stop. I also noticed when i went to facebook.com and tried to install the app from there it thought my phone was something other than the epic. I resolved the issue by using a different ROM. I don't know if these things are related, but that might be a start...
Yeah luckily we found her old phone and transferred thru bluetooth but I am tryin to figure out how to get them to google in case this happens again. As far as the rom she was totally stock di18 not even rooted for 5 weeks and I updated her to unrooted dk28.

You should be able to export them from contacts via the import/export menu option. This will create a file named something like 00001.vcf(vCard file) in sdcard/external_sd/. Then go to the google contacts and import it. Hope that helps!
Ok I will try that. Thanks alot guys.

Just make sure when she adds any new contacts that she adds them to google.
Stupid question but she does have syncing turned on in her contacts right? After they're restored try to force sync, then check her google account from a desktop/laptop to see if it worked.
I've not had much luck with the import export v card feature. I recently had to delete all contacts on my phone, then go to my google account via desktop, export all contacts to google.csv, delete all contacts online, then reinstall online from the google.csv file in order to fix a syncing problem.

I think google may be having an issue at the moment. My phone is saying that Sync is currently offline and will be back shortly.
Yeah her sync is on I just don't get what happened. I have reflashed my epic about 10 times without issue. And my moment ugh probably 75-100. Never lost contacts it has been automatic since I got my first android.

After my last rom flash I had a situation where any time I added a contact on the phone it got deleted after syncing. No idea why but a google search lead me to others that had the same issue.
I think this OS still has a lot to be ironed out. I wish they'd stop adding features and just make a decent contacts app. I can't for the life of me figure out why I have to select which of the same four phone numbers I want to dial when I try to call a contact that is synced to multiple accounts, for example.

sometimes when i have synching issues, i fix it by going into 'manage applications' and clearing the data for that app. i've had to do that with gmail.... it erases and re-synchs the app, and afterwards it works like normal. of course, only do it if she does indeed have her contacts backed up on Google... otherwise they will be gone. not sure if this will fix hers, but just saying it did fix my synching issues a few times.
My contacts last synced with my Gmail account on Thursday 29/9/2011 at 08h37. It has been saying that Sync is currently experiencing problems and will be back shortly.
Everything else syncs fine, it's just the contacts.
I have rebooted the phone several times. Nothing seems to help. I really don't want to do a default reset if I don't have to. Any ideas?
Much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
MAC
Just do as described here.

I did just that but it keeps giving the same error message.
Here the same ,error when syncing google contacts,since february 2011...
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Finally sorted out...
I went to Android Central and the answer was there!!!
Here's what to do:
Menu>Settings>Account Sync>Disable all
Then (Be sure to backup call log, contacts etc before next step):
Menu>Settings>Applications>Manage Applications>Contacts Storage>Clear Data
This clears the entire contacts database which seems to get corrupt after something or other. Mine happened when syncing Skype contacts!!!
Then Enable Sync again and, then REBOOT device immediately (note not just a power down and fast boot, but a Reboot/Restart).
Your contacts should start syncing again!!!
Yippee!!!
Yeah,it works but when I restore my backup ( contacts and call log) with my backup then I have the same error with syncing again...

I only backed up my call log. I did not restore my contacts because they were already there on Google. Try it without restoring contacts and let it sync with Google.
But how do you get the contacts from Google back on your phonelist?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
You let you your phone sync normally once you have rebooted. All your contacts are in the cloud already, or should be.
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA Premium App
Ah yes,I see...but I want the numbers back in my internal phonebook...not only in the Google account. And point is that several numbers are not synced for several months,so I loose them if I delete the data and after reboot sync...?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
Everything that's in your phone will sync with Google. You need to back your contacts up with Sprite backup or GO CONTACTS. Then follow the steps indicated. See if that works for you.

At worst you could always back them up with a pencil and paper
Couldn't synch contacts...

Does anyone know the best prog to back up my sms and contacts and restore seamlessly in my htc one from my desire with no messing about. I tried mybackup but it wont see the backup on the sdcard. Any help would be appreciated .
Contacts i use Google - just needs a quick sign in of your google account and an even quicker sync and your contacts are there ready for you - alot easier than Sim or SD card for me
I have done that but got lots of the same name which means i got to go through them all. The sms migrated ok just the contacts are a pain
do htc devices on first set up not ask if you want to migrate data?
No i cant remember it saying that might need to bluetooth the buggers or something
try

cheers i missed that just got it today after delivery was screwed up last time i used mybackup and it worked perfectly but not this time
I would highly recommend QQ pim, you can back up all your contacts, sms, call logs even your apps via it's server.

SMS Backup & Restore and google for contacts. Simple.

PLEASE HELP! My messages app is working soo slowly! when I open a conversation, it says 'Loading' and after about 5 mins, the conversation opens up. It's so slow! Why? Is it because I have all the messages stored in my phone memory? or is it something else? How to make it fast?
yeah same problem here. Weird. Thinking its all the past messages. Guess you have to delete the conversation every once and awhile. Oh well.

Hi, I have the same problems . Your phone is repaired. Replacing the motherboard. After 10 days the problem is back. Yesterday I made a factory reset, 2 minutes today I opened SMS. I reported this problem HTC and they know nothing about.
Sorry for bad English.
Go to app info of messages, from there select clear data. It will probably solve the problem....or do a factory reset..

After much frustration with the slowness of the message app, I tried this and it worked very well so far:
From within message app, select Menu...Settings...General... and uncheck the first three (all three) options under "Recipient list settings."
I guess that limits your search options from within the app. For me I probably don't use that function anyway, and even if I did I would trade it for a quicker app. To me, text messaging is worthless if it is not quick, otherwise I would just call or email.
Hi guys! i'm facing a problem everytime i flash a 4.2.2 ROM..
when i try to import contacts from sim to phone it says that there are no contacts on the sim card (data, everything else working fine..)
i've searched around forums, google, etc.. can't find a solution.
Maybe i have just asked something very stupid or already said somewhere and then i say sorry for that, but i really can't get out from this!

From SIM?! Transfer your contacts to your Gmail and no need to worry anymore. It's much better,as you can lose your phone/SIM along with contacts. But with contacts on your Gmail all you need is just log in to your Gmail from your phone and all contacts are ready to use with any Android phone...
