How to hide certain groups from main contact list?

Long story short:
I'm leaving my current job soon. But I'm saving every important person's name email and number in my phone in case I will need them someday.
I wanna save them all in a seperate group.
The thing is, now all of them show up in the main HTC People list. I want to find them only in the group when I need to. Not in the entire People list.

not a lot you can do about this. i have tried and asked all over the place. if you have them in gmail you can only sync over all of 'my contacts' or none, groups

I have the same problem.
Please star this Issue, so google will add it in future.

[Q] Contact Groups

Does anyone know if there's a way to create contact groups for quickly texting or emailing a group of people?

i wish they did integrate categories (which outlook desktop offers). but anyways, the best work around i've seen is to create a text message (which is what i'm assuming you want this for) and add all the people you want to that message. then when you send it, and view the sms inbox, you can see the text you sent and it will say "x recipients". you can then reuse the list by clicking on it and writing a new message that way.
not the best approach, but it's works for the time being.

have you checked the marketplace?
I have seen sms apps in there like one called group sms or something to that effect.

Only syncing certain contact groups

I have been googling for a while trying to find this, but I haven't found a Jelly Bean compatible solution. It seems to have existed back in Éclair or Donut, but I didn't use it if it did and I'm too lazy to go boot up an old phone to check.
What I'm trying to do is only sync certain contact groups from Gmail to my phone (running CM10). I am well aware that you can display only certain groups in the Contacts, but that still keeps them synced to the phone, so they'll show up in contact auto-complete for email, testing, search, etc.
The reason I am trying to do this is because I teach university classes (we use Google Apps for the school email), and I make separate contact groups for each class section I teach, then one for faculty and staff. I keep old groups around in case I ever need them, but I don't really want to keep them synced with my phone. I really just want to sync whichever groups I'm teaching this semester and the faculty group. I could easily remove the old groups from the My Contacts group if there's a way just to sync that, but I haven't found it if it exists.
Anyone know a way to do this? I'd be super appreciative!

[Q] selecting multiple contacts ...

Hi All, is there any way we can select multiple contacts while sending same SMS.
regards,

I encountered the same "no multiple contacts" dilemma while creating a Group inside People. It really is a PITA not having a way of selecting more than one contact at a time!
Major FAIL if you ask me...
Otherwise I've found WM7.5 pleasing to use... Lacking but pleasing...

You can create a group with multiple contacts, and then in the group, there is an option to text to the whole group.

Unfortunately the grouping is limited only to 20 people.

I have never had the need to group text more than 20 people, but I did notice that when you choose text to everyone in the group, the To field has a + and you can add more name through your contacts. Does that limit you? Because you are not bounded by the group limit being 20.

Yes thanks for the tip, however that does tend to be a PITA when you use the groups and contacts often. (like for like social networking or business purposes).
I wouldn't mind the 20 people limit if at least I could select contacts via check-marks or something like that, but the current method of selecting and going back to the application and then selecting another one is just lame!
Sorry for the rant!

[Q] Contacts, show contacts from only certain groups AND those unassigned.

I have three groups Family, Friends and Cooworkers.
Most of my contacts fall in a group above but some in none (eg. my barber) and I don't want to over-organize things.
I want the contacts/dialer to show all contacts, except from group Cooworkers.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?
1) I've tried setting the filter to Family, Friends - and sure Cooworker don't show but neither do unassigned.
2) If I include the group "My Contacts" - EVERYTHING is shown, regardless of other filters (how is that a feature?)
If I go with 1) then I have to remember to add new contacts to a group and frankly, I don't trust myself to do that.
So that's no option.
BEST would be if there'd be another group called "Unassigned" and I could then just tick Family, Friends, Unassigned...
How do I achieve this functionality?
Any other app capable of this?
Ideas?
