Like everybody I was suprised that it is not possible to delete the frequently called history in ICS (or maybe not surprised, because Google is not in the business of deleting history, rather the opposite). I also was surprised that various cleaner apps don't work in ICS.
Anyway, after some research I learnt that you just have to delete the contents table data_usage_stats in /data/data/com.android.providers/databases/contacts or so. Not a big deal with aSqlitemanager and aShell.
But now I discovered exactly the same in the google search bar.
In the google search settings I unchecked every searchable item expect "People". if I tap into the google search, I can see my frequently called contacts.
Does anybody have an idea what database I have to clean to get rid of this?

Disable "google search" in apps.
Nice side benefit....it removes the google search widget from the desktop.
Yes, I know.
But I would like to keep the google search app.
Just want to know where this "frequently called" information is stored. I can not find the database table.
A solution can be found here (thanks @kynon)

But basically you have to set the following values to 0
last_time_contacted
times_contacted
in table contacts and raw_contacts

Hi Everyone,
I've searched high and low for a solution to this, but haven't had any luck. Is anyone aware of a way to disable the Facebook calendar sync to my Google calendar?
Specifically looking to remove the entries for "friend's" birthdays.
Thanks!
Don't sync your Facebook contacts or the solution below.
Or, to actually answer the OPs question: Just open the calendar app, go to Menu - More - Calendars, and uncheck the ones you don't want to sync.

I also have this problem and I have an HTC EVO 4G LTE running ICS 4.0.3. None of the suggestions I read anywhere on the web worked for me, but I finally found a solution. Open the Google Calendar from your phone/device, and at the top left, there is a drop down menu titled "Calendar." I never noticed that this was a drop down list before, but it is. This is where you will find all of the synced calendars from Facebook and others. I had to uncheck everything, and then add just the ones I cared about. That worked for me; hope this helps.
Gmail automatically adds contacts you've emailed into your contact list, they belong to "All Contacts" group.
Manually added contacts belong to "My Contacts" group.
But I couldn't get the phone to display *only* "My Contacts". (Contacts -> Hide/Show -> Google...)
Tried Googling the issue, solutions available but don't seem to work on Defy/Motorola.
Any idea?
Thx in advance.
Anyone...?
I have the same problem, which I posted to the Motorola Owners forums as well, only I don't just want to not display those contacts, but prevent then from syncing as well. I can't yet post working links:

After syncing my new Defy with my Google account, I've found all the contacts in the phone - not just the meaningful ones from My Contacts that have phone numbers and names - but every last single email address has created a separate contact in the phone.
My question is this: how can I limit the synced contacts to a group, like My Contacts in GMail?

So far, I have not found a way to limit the display or the syncing of these contacts.
There are 2 apps for contacts, the one that is embedded in the dialer (the one that SUCKS), and the other is a stand alone Contacts which allows yo Manage groups in a certain way. I'd like to have good one embedded in the Dialer next to Recent and Favorites.. but im no dev. An certainly is annoying having to switch between them.

On GN, the phone book be appeared in the dailing pad and a individual phone book icon. The PB in the dailing pad cannot find and display all,the contact in my PB. I need to search some people via the individual PB icon. I dont understand google duplicate the PB and not same function.
In addition, the OS is designed the app drawer for selecting apps, i think,that the apps will not be shown in the apps drawer when move to home page as quick link will be more clean, the apps inthe apps drawer can be hided if we dont want to show in drawer. Now it made the system complicated and duplicated. The apps drawer can be created folder will be better.
Not really a Dev thread now is it?
Should be in General/Q&A
I was wondering if there is any way to stop recently called/texted contacts to appear at the top of google search, I find it super annoying when looking through my recent searches i have to scroll through tons of people before seeing them
Running JB 4.1.1. on ATT SG3 (SGHI747). Recently rooted.
Touching the microphone associated with Google Search used to allow me to speak and fill fields. Now, touching the icon brings me to the Play Store link to the Google Voice Search app page. I've already uninstalled and reinstalled the application, cleared all file associations, rebooted.
I'm a total noob. I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks.

Where is this microphone located? If it is a shortcut out on your main screens (desktop area who's name is escaping me currently) you might want to try going into the "Apps" drawer and opening google voice there. If that works then trash your broken shortcut and drag a new one out.
