on my gmail are many contacts that are not found on my phone. i dont know how they got there. so, how can i delete these contacts that i didnt store on my phone?
Contacts... menu, delete.
You can go to your Gmail account. On the topleft side under Google, Click on Gmail and choose contacts. Delete from there.

Contacts, menu, (scroll down) contacts to display. Set to phone and it'll hide all the 1000000 people you've ever emailed in your life.

For trying to help? wtf is your deal man if you do not want help dont ask for it...
You can also turn of what contracts you want to be shown in the contact app, though my head says not to help due to attitude i believe in maybe you are just having a rough morning or something, go to contacts menu accounts viewable or accounts depending what your are running and you will be able to uncheck what you do not want to see

Hi,
This may sound really stupid but how the heck do you add your contact in text? I want to send a text but cant see where i can click to then pick the contact i want to send it to?

Hi,
Yeah i can see the "To" but if i click it or in the box it does nothing. Surely i dont have to start to type the name in and then click it?
Thats exatually what you do
select the box and start type the name of your contact
What else would you do ?

Every phone ive ever had including the galaxy s2 when you clicked in the to box it would bring uo your contact list letting you choose the contact.
Matt
You can also go to the contact list and choose to text
Go to Phone Icon > People tab, then click on the left box where their photo is.
Then on the right side of the phone number is an icon i can't describe, but that lets you text.
yeah many phones do that
But i would always search in the list anyway so for me this is a step less

how can i get my contacts to sync with facebook?
try FriendCaster
i dont mind Friendcaster, but are you saying that syncing contacts isnt possible with FB?
Go into the settings of the phone, accounts, add a Facebook account. Doesn't appear you do it through the App itself.
Edited: Well crap, I'm trying to do it through the Accounts in the phone, but when I select Facebook, it doesn't do anything. Hmmmm.

I seem to remember Facebook having a similar issue when the Incredible first came out. There was an update to fix it, so maybe we're looking at a similar situation here?

I just want to confirm that Friendcaster will sync your contacts. Just one BIG problem, you will have a ****load of contacts and you cannot filter out the ones without numbers..
Guys, this is because Facebook wasn't abiding by Google's terms, so they removed the option for syncing facebook contacts. The only viable alternative as of now, is installing Friendcaster.

I remember hearing about this on Cnet's Buzz out loud
This was talked about a while back on Buzz out loud.
At the time Facebook would import from any source but would not export as they didn't want to give that info out.
In other words they were happy to import all your contact data from any other source so they could get ahold of it. But they did not want to return the favor if you wanted to import your contact info from Facebook into the same source you just imported into Facebook from.
This was a while back, so I don't know if this was resolved. Facebook was claiming they were protecting their user's data.
The general feeling was not too good towards facebook on Buzz out loud. Their feeling was the contact data belongs to the person holding the account and they should be able to sync it if they want to.
It is well known that Facebook has bad blood with Google.
Hopefully this situation has changed as this was several months ago. But with Facebook you really never know what they are gonna do.
I see a lot of posts talking about how facebook sync was removed from the core android features.
I think that misses the point.
Facebook sync was a feature in the facebook app in gingerbread (At least, I can confirm this was the case prior to the app update. I'll confess I didn't go looking for it post update).
If it's currently available in gingerbread, I'd expect we'd see it available in ics following an update to fb.
/totally speculating
Carnagey is right. From what I have seen it won't come until that dispute is resolved...

delete the facebook app from your phone first if its on there, because when you sign in through there it doesnt add it on the phones accounts page im assuming
Ok so I realize facebook won't sync with ICS so I get Haxsync that was recommended and its ok. However, I don't like this People app that ICS uses compared to the old simple Contacts. When I need to manually merge contacts I used to longpress and choose join contacts and now I cant . But I've seen posts where people say they manually join them, so there must be another way I'm not seeing. Menu options don't bring up merge or join either.
Thanks in advance for any help.

it is a bit annoying managing contacts in ics...i haven't figured how to automatically join contacts but I have been able to do it manually...for example...let's say your friend's name is "Michael B. Jordan" in facebook and simply "Michael Jordan" in your normal contacts...you have to change the name to "Michael B. Jordan" in contacts facebook and press "space" after the name change..you should see the "facebook name" be suggested right under the contact being edit..click it and it should say "join"..it is pretty annoying way to join contacts (maybe there is a better way, I don't know)...
it took almost an hour to properly sync my 70 contacts and their pictures with haxsync...sorry for the horrrible grammar and I hope it helped..
Annoying it may be... But open "people" Menu> edit> menu> join. Then either pick a suggested person or scroll down to find the right person.

Just made an already tedious process even longer. Damn girls and their stupid fb names. That's the only crappy part of wiping during ROM changes for me. Apps, data, ringtones, wallpapers, etc are all easy but damn having to manually rejoin contacts. Now even worse that's it's not native in ICS.
I'm at the point now where I think I'm just going to manually assign pictures to my contacts. Maybe download them from facebook assign them thru my contacts in google. This way the pix will stick from now on. Anytime I flash a rom, I won't need to go thru this tedious process any longer. I've given up lol.

If you export your joined contacts to your sd card don't they come back joined when you import them?

You know I think this would make sense, but I just tried an import and the only option is to import a single vCard file from bluetooth or email.
This used to work out nicely in the 2.x.x days. You sync your google contacts and then facebook contacts. Join a few that the names don't match (ie John Doe and John D). Now with ICS, it won't even try to join John Doe with John D. Doe or Johnathan Doe, even though they are the same person.
The other thing is that haxsync only does photos. I have friends that I don't have saved in my google contacts because their info is on their facebook. Guess I could go through them and manually save a duplicate contact and number to my google contacts, but that's something I didn't have to do in the past. Taking steps backward is not what integration is about.

Well I got friendcaster then used it to sync and it copied over with crappy low res pictures, so that pissed me off. The haxsync ones looked decent at least. I'll be fine for now until there is stock integration built into to CM9. I know the OTA ICS guys have figured it out.

Haxsync does have an option "Additional friends to sync" under "Sync Preferences" - the help text says "These friends will be synced even if they don't match any contacts on your phone". Does this do what you want?
I think he means their contact info from facebook. The main app syncs not only a contacts photo, but any contact info they have on their profile.

For those who have multiple accounts and want to join them in a few easy steps:
Log into you Gmail account and go under Contacts.
Right above your contacts list, right in the middle, there is a button you click and have some settings come down. One of them is a "join multiple contacts". Hit it and it will automatically join all of them together. A lot easier if u have LOTS of multiple contacts and dnt want to merge them manually

haxsync is not showing my entire friend list from facebook
what is to be done??
In the options their is a setting which by default only syncs people already in your contacts. You can change it sync all your friends from facebook.
Also to some of the people earlier in this thread, the latest version of Haxsync lets you write HTC tags to the notes section of your contacts so at least you won't have to do it all again manually when you change roms
so i have a question.. sorry im new to the new phone and still learning..
my mogul died.. but i had connected my new phone to my computer and it auto sync'd my contacts...
im missing a few people... so i emailed a bud to txt me his #..
he did... so i added him to concacts from there...from the txt..
well when i click on contacts on my main screen.. i search for him and he is not there..
anyone know what is going on.. well the real question..
what am i doing wrong or not doing right...
Please stop calling it "the droid", it's a galaxy s2 running android. Either you didn't save it or didn't enter it right in the contacts. You can also look and add contacts online through your Gmail accout.
Wow dude, relax with the hostility, he don't know yet
You probably saved the contact to your phone contacts. Make sure you save contacts to your Google contacts, let me know if you need anything else

Im sure if it was saved to phone it would still show up in searching.
Im leaning more to the contact didn't save.

Is your friend's name the same our similar to anyone else's name in your contacts?
Google will combine contacts that it thinks may be related. For example, if you have two contacts, one Bob Smith and one Robert Smith, they will end up combined.
Check any contacts that are similar to your friend's name. Edit the contact, and scroll through it and see if he's there. If he is, Tao the menu button and separate the contacts.
He will then become his own contact.

They only get merged on the phone. At least that's my experience.
If you start dialing the number in your dialer, does the name come up in the auto complete? Is it the correct name?

I apologize in advance for posting a question that has probably most likely been answered. I watched the video, I don't hate myself and I don't mean to annoy you. So, can a HTC incredible guru please tell me: 1) why I have two email apps that are one account? There is a blue mail icon and a red gmail icon that are both connected to my gmail account. I get double notifications all the time. 2) How do i disable the htc email? This app is in general less convenient and I don't see the need for having two. Please help! Thank you much!
If you want to remove the app use titanium backup if your rooted. Or you can go to your settings ---->accounts/sync and stop the sync on the mail app.

Not familiar with the blue app. What happens when you try to uninstall it?
Is there not a "settings" menu in the blue app that will allow you to delete its tie to your Gmail account?
If all else fails, you can at least go to Menu>Manage Apps (or Menu>System Settings>Applications), pick the blue mail app, and turn off "Show Notifications"....

ok. I have to figure out how to use the titanium backup and being rooted. I'm sure it's on the forum somewhere.
I had checked under Settings before I asked this question, and there is no blue email icon there. Just the red Gmail and I didn't want to stop that sync. Also, I moved the blue icon to the "trash" but I still get notifications that I have mail. Then, somehow my facebook won't sync. it's "currently experiencing problems and will return shortly." It's said that since the 26th. Ugh! Maybe I should call their help desk.
