?? Your contacts are added to your Gmail account on the phone. Do you mean when you type in Gmail you want to have auto completed addresses?
Sorry just don't understand what you mean.

Hey,
Yeah that works for me already. If I type "a" in the address field it shows me all the "a" contacts stored in my gmail account. It doesn't offer contacts that I have recently mailed they have to exist already in contacts which are linked to my gmail address.
Hope that works for you.

Log into your gmail on a desktop computer and look at your contacts list. There you can add, delete contacts you want. All the phone will do is pull down the contacts that are added to your gmail contacts. Does that help you?

Ohhh Never knew that. Thanks!
What am I missing, is there a setting on the device that I should have cuz I never had this issue at all with my Incredible S and I love this Samsung so not complaining about the phone itself just the sending the pics? Or is it because they have to be named .JPEG or something instead of .jpg, just wondering?
How are you trying to send them? What are you using?

Just through my hotmail account like I've always have?
Sent from my SGH-T989D using xda premium
I don't use hotmail so I don't know if that could be the problem. I just longpress on the pic. Choose share when the menu comes up and select Gmail. Sends with no problem.

I recently flashed a new rom on my girls GS2 and she now is telling me that she is missing several hundred contacts. i asked her if they were all tied to her google account and she told me that they were until now. she's had several other androids in the past and always had all the contacts transfer just fine. I work for T-Mobile and i have seen this issue in a couple of other devices before but have never been able to come up with any sort of rhyme or reason as to what, why, or how this is happening. can anyone shed some light on this for me? and if anyone knows a way to possibly recover those missing contacts that would help me out greatly. plus, it kinda worries me to think that one day if i flash a new rom onto my phone i may log in only to find i have lost all of my contacts......
thanks

Has she logged into gmail from a pc and verify her contacts are there?

thats the big issue, they deleted out of her google account completely. on the phone and online. she had something like 800 contacts (crazy i know) the other day and now she only has around 250. ive seen this happen with a few of my customers phones at work as well where one day they have contacts stored to gmail then suddenly they are gone. its very strange.
Umm were they mostly guys number?
Are you sure it wasn't part of fb of fb contact sync?

lol no isnt trying to hide anything from me haha. and i asked her if they were FB contacts she said no. these were contacts that were tied directly to her gmail account.
I dunno man if they were on her acct online and now they aren't...that's a Google issue. No idea where to begin to fix it.

I am having the same problem. Phone was setup to sync contacts to gmail... but now its gone off phone and off gmail.
If I recall correctly, Google has an option to revert to previous versions of contacts up to 30 days ago. Maybe that would work?

Why does it matter to you??
Anyways op, if I wanted to hide contacts. I'd probably save the contacts to the sim card or to a second gmail account and in the contacts app I would hit menu>Contacts to display and just select to display my main gmail account contacts and not the ones in the sim or secondary Gmail

What exactly is your purpose in hiding the contacts? Is it because you are sneaking around on a loved one? Or is it for guilty pleasures like dominos pizza hotline? Maybe even you setup your voicemail as a contact so you can easilly dial it.
An all around solution would be to use a "vault" application. Vault hide is pretty good.
I think it is because a lot of contacts from his Gmail account or fb is showing up so he's trying to hide them?. Or he's a slut. Probably the latter

If you just want to hide some contacts in order not to have them in your list, I'd suggest the configuration of the preinstalled contacts App. But if there are contacts, you want to keep "secret" give "Hide it" a try. It pretends to be an Audiomanager, but you can access a hidden vault by typing in a code. In this vault you can store pics, Videos, texts, contact, etc

ALL - wow, so judgmental...
OP - I hide contacts frequently because I sync my office/exchange contacts but don't care to see them on my personal phone on the weekends...
solution: stock contacts app allows for viewing certain groups - if you really need contacts 'invisible' under passcode on your phone, there are third party apps to do that, or set them on your sim with a sim lock password or on you samsung account online or elsewhere...

You can use Google Voice to have a copy sent to an email. Or use Texter Plus if your sprint and willing to pay 2.99 a month for the service. But you can save reply or delete remotely with Texter Plus.

With Google Voice, you can also route all your SMS through it...making all your texts you send/receive viewable on acomputer real-time....also does some other neat stuff.

Click SMS in the list of folders in your Gmail account. All texts will be backed up and shown on the right. You can import them into your phone whenever, like if you flash a new ROM but want your text history imported. The only limitation is MMS.
