I have many contacts of the MSN and is difficult to move by the agenda.
Excuse me for my English
hi
i had to manually delete all my msn contacts from my hotmail acct do not have them synced into my address book on ppc.. its one of the most ridiculous features of live messenger! is there an easy way to NOT have them shown in the address book ?????
I'd also like to know if we have a "trick" to remove those contacts from the smartphone's contact directory *without* deleting them from Homtail's contact list.
Thanks

I have come to realize that I probably will have to live with it as is. This new version gives you the option to consolidate your phone contacts with the messenger contacts and boy did I hate the duplicates in the older version. Maybe the next version will give us a chance to keep them out of the contacts list.
Hello Friends,
I recently exported some contacts from my old windows mobile phone into a vcard since this is what Google Suggests
So I imported the vcard file into Gmail, and somehow it's
it's put all the contact information into the note field. Perhaps it did this because perhaps at one time I had duplicates of them all and it merged the contact information?
Well all the contact fields are blank except the note field which looks like this

So the problem is when I sync up my contacts with my Evo only the names are listed because theres no phone number in the phone number field it's just in the notes field. And so when I compose a new text message and search for a contact none pull up. I can go into "people" and see the names but yea thats about it.
Please help I haven't searched diligently and I haven't found any solution to this problem.
Any thoughts or ideas on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Never seen a recommendation to use a Vcard. I exported to a CSV, and everything imported perfectly.
You should import a csv file to gmail, that should def.ly do it for you.

+1 to everyone else here. I used csv as well and had little problems. I already had some contacts in gmail and had dupes, but gmail also has an option to remove dupes for you.
I have asked this on general but nobody reply, so I'm gonna try it here.
I want to add contacts on a group. I was succesful to create the group and once inside I click to add member but when I type there name nothing happens, it doesn't search for it neither add. I tried with the existent group on the phone but still nothing.
Thank you!

Are the contacts you're trying to move stored on your phone or your gmail account? Because it won't work if your trying to move a 'gmail contact' into a 'phone group' (if you get what I am trying to say).
If your contacts are stored on your gmail account, you can always get on gmail and organize them from the web interface, putting them in whatever groups you want.
Ohh I understand, so the contacs has to be saved on the phone so it can appears.
Thanks!

What app to use for deleting multiple duplicates of contact entries?
Something that will let me see the contact number & name...
Sync all your contacts to Google. Then use Google Contacts from your GMail. It has an option to delete the duplicates in the contact list.
I found this method to be the best. There are other apps in the market but they take way too much time. HTC Sense People app has this feature built in.

Very informative, thank you. I will definitely try this.
I have CM9 beta 3.
I can't find the settings to view just the contacts with Phone number. In the stock ROM there is an option to hide the contacts without phone number.
Are there any option to customize my contact list? I dont want to use any other Contacts app.

let me make things clear:
1st, do you have contacts in your phone that doen's have numbers? if so, how come you have them? useless, i think..
2nd, no need to hide the "contacts without phone numbers" when in the first place they are not important contacts, right? they are just names (yeah, names only as you said..)
3rd, if you like to save contact names, use your memo app and not the contact apps..they are for contacts with numbers..
lastly, as you said, hitting the menu button inside your contact app would reveal indifferently as compared to the stock rom..nevertheless, it is not a big deal..
and, try to wipe your contacts stored in your sim card to avoid multiple contacts..
also, try backing up your contacts to your sdcard for security purposes..
-salute!
So i have a lot of contacts in my google account and a lot of them are only email addresses. I would like to hide the emails and keep only the contacts which have phone number. In the stock rom there was an option to do it but here i can't find anything.

CONTACT: People/organization with whom one has social or professional contact or to whom one is related, esp. those with influence and able to offer one help
if we get with this definition we can see that anybody who we interact can be a contact. like the professor of a lecture we take or an it department. And we may "contact" them with e-mail.
2nd, no need to hide the "contacts without phone numbers" when in the first place they are not important contacts, right? they are just names (yeah, names only as you said..)
My Professor or my boss are important contacts for me and i don't have to contact them using phone numbers. i don't have to memorize their mail addressess.
3rd, if you like to save contact names, use your memo app and not the contact apps..they are for contacts with numbers..
you don't say . so a person with an e-mail address is not a contact. really?
lastly, as you said, hitting the menu button inside your contact app would reveal indifferently as compared to the stock rom..nevertheless, it is not a big deal..

Well, I also do have contacts without phone numbers. My skype contacts are listed there for example.

´Well, I would like to have them hidden too. It´s no question about it´s needed or not, but it´s annoying because they are even there if skype is not running.

Oh well. If you have a solution for him on how to sync the Memo app with his google account to get his email contacts saved there and a solution how my skype contacts will be stored in the memo app but not in the contact list, we both would really appreciate it.
Beside this he first would need the Memo app to get installed on his phone, as there is no memo app present in CM9.
Btw.

Not sure what´s wrong with you all of the sudden, but putting someone words into his mouth he never used is not a helpful answer to a legit question.
