[Q] How to fix duplicate contact entries (CM7.1) - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Google is set to NOT sync contacts but I still have all contact entries in duplicate. I tried Contacts Analyzer to remove duplicates but it did nothing.
Any ideas?

Heh, I managed to delete them all using Contact Remover then I imported the backup .vcf, so all is good now.

It's in the market in the Verizon section, but it's $2.99/mo to use it. Personally, I'd just sign up for Google Voice or YouMail. No charge. (I use GV, myself).
I thought Google Voice voicemails were supposed to show inline with the Missed Calls. Is this not the case anymore?

Gvoice still needs the update
You have to download the correct VZW VVM app (there are two):

Gahhh!!! This is killing me! I switched from AT&T to VZW and actually having to dial in and check VM SUCKS! It feels so f'n dated!
Any word/idea on when Google Visual VM will be ready for the Nexus?
Thanks!

I'm using Google Voice with no issues whatsoever on the Nexus. What exactly isn't working?
I'm also using Google Voice with my Nexus and visual voicemail is working great. Transcriptions seem to be broken, but everything else is fine. Even works with Lightflow.

New Galaxy Nexus - How to Import Facebook contacts/pictures?

Have the latest Nexus. Unable to add "Facebook" as contact account. I select Facebook after "add account" and it doesn't seem to add them in.
It's not allowed on ICS. I used FriendCaster and this worked perfectly! The only annoying thing is the low resolution of photos... But that's not a Friendcaster's problem...
Haxsync in the market.

With HaxSync, do you have the option to only sync with your existing contacts?
With Friendcaster, you can only sync all contacts, so all of your Facebook friends show up in your contacts.
I bought HaxSync and can say it blows. It often doesn't pair up phone contacts with Facebook contacts. This means having doubles.
Android 2.0.3 will resolve this issue and I would suggest waiting a few weeks

If you're so inclined ... a manual fix

back up your original apk's before doing this manual mod. read comments, someone's phone got borked.
Borked is now a meme!
Can anyone confirm if 4.03 fixes this?
This is a pretty big omission. Wasnt social network updates in the people app was one of the major features announced with ics?
why not get an aftermarket rom that supports this???
Option B.. Friendcaster... IMO this is the best option.... i dont see a problem with my contacts.. i have 1324 fb friends.. all you gotta do is go to People.. Accounts... and just remove friendcaster from your contacts to be displayed and wallaaa.. you dont have a crapload of contacts in your list..
SyncMyPix > Haxsync
So there's SyncMyPix, HaxSync, and Friendcaster.
Which ones sync with existing contacts well so people don't get their huge facebook friend list in their contacts?
Which ones are able to deal with slight name changes for matching contacts and/or with/without middle name?
Which ones sync Hi Res pictures? (when I researched this a little while back, only HaxSync did this)

hands down the best solution at this point.
Another option is this

you run it on your desktop and it syncs facebook contacts to Gmail.

This is by far the best way, Thank You very much.
Using this method you can correct and manually(quickly) link accounts with different names and dont need bloatware on your phone.

[Q] Q: maps not opening from contacts

hy!
After new google maps update I can't open adress stored in any contact. When I tap on address nothing happened?
anione know the fix
tnx
Same here, and location history doesn´t work either..
Same here on the HTC One S. I believe it's since the latest Google Maps update. In my case it came up with a pre-installed navigation app instead of Google Maps that started normally. Disabling the pre-installed navigation app results in no navigatuin/map popping up at all.
---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:51 PM ----------
Temporary work-around from droidforums.net:
Open contacts, scroll down to the person , Do NOT open their info. Just click on their picture, or icon, from the main contacts list. It will open up options to call, send email, open maps, and a few other things.

The issue is fixed after installing the Google Maps update of 2013-08-16.

[Q] How do you delete old SMS / Text Messages on Lollipop rom?

I'm currently using Contacts+ as my SMS app, I like using one app for my dialer/contacts/texting. The number of texts on my phone are getting out of hand. I see on Hangouts there is a way to check a button to reduce the number of texts if needed. I know there used to be apps that worked in ICS to delete old text messages.
How are you guys doing it now? I can't be the only one.
I'm currently running DigitalHigh's Rom on my verizon device.
Thank you,
Z
I use the google messaginer for sms
I would be asking the app makers about that?
Or surely just go into the stock messaging app and delete them?
I know 8sms can delete them anyway, as well as every other app I've ever seen.
Unless I'm misunderstanding your issue? ?
---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------
Oh, auto delete? Yeah... Many apps have that option, if yours doesn't... Again, app developer would need to add that feature or explain how.
---------- Post added at 04:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------
Yes, 8sms has that feature.
---------- Post added at 04:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:22 PM ----------
Stock Sense does too.
Even though your using another app.... Have you tried limiting the number in Stock messaging app... It may still work, even if you're using another app.
I'm using an GPE version of Lollipop so the only native app is Hangouts and Google Messenger. Messenger does not have a delete function and Hangouts just has a function if too much space is being used.
I reached out to the the developer and they said use the native messenger to delete, I emailed back showing screenshots of not having that feature. Hopefully they can put it on their to-do list.

any real app locker for lumia?

Is there any real app locker for Lumia,if so say it's name please and if there isn't one create it please developers
What is an app locker?
An app that locks all other apps with a password.Not just locking the apps in start screen but also in app list.
Have you tryed all this ? https://www.google.es/search?q=app+...rome..69i57.7919j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8
---------- Post added at 08:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 PM ----------
Since apps run in sandbox, in microsoft store you will not find a real app locker
There is not yet.
But you can use the PIN or use a zip file with a password if you want to hide files, and can also use the child so if you want to lend your device to someone.
