I have NO Facebook contacts in my Hotmail account, but they are present on my HD7.
Maybe they come directly from my Facebook account, the first time I logged in using the phone.
Unfortunately, FB people cannot be erased from the phone contact list (the erase menu is greyed out).
How can I have them out of my phone ?
I tried to search the forum already, but the only guy having the issue owns an Android device.
Many thanks

the phone auto syncs your facebook friends list to your phone. to filter them out, goto settings > applications (scroll to the right page) > people > and scroll down and select "only add facebook information to existing contacts".
this has been posted a few times, but it can sometimes be hard to find the right words.
Tnks a bunch pal !
How do I get the contacts type in normally in a HTC Desire, over sow they is on my newly created Gmail account?

Right, now that we have cleared that up, go to...
Settings > Accounts & Sync > Add Account > Follow Prompts. If you have already added the account, just go Accounts & Sync > Sync All.
Hi guys,
Sorry if this issue has already been posted. I've done some quick search and didn't find any effective solution.
My Galaxy Nexus is on stock 4.0.4, latest build available. I have three accounts set up on the device:
- Gmail 1
- Gmail 2
- Skype
I want only the contacts from account Gmail 1 to be shown in the People app and the contacts tab in the Phone app. I've tried everything. The standard setting where I select only contacts from the desired account to be shown doesn't work as it should. Once I quit the app and open it again, all contacts from the three accounts are shown. I also tried to remove all accounts and set them up again, no effect.
I am trying to avoid a factory reset. Is there any other option you guys can think about? Any setting that I may not know about?
Thanks in advance.
Hi there
The thing is whenever I add a new phone number to my contacts list they don't show up there. When saving the contacts I choose to save them to my Google account. So if my phone dies or is stolen I can recover all my contacts. The thing is they're not appearing on my contact list. Even tough I've selected in contacts to show: All contacts.
The only way to find them (since universal search was removed) is to use the dial to type the name (most of the time without luck) or go to the call log (if I called that number before).
I've come to think the contact IS on the phone, Cuz it appears in the log with the name I've given it.
I have account sync on, I've turned the phone off and on.
I've been experiencing this problem on different phones (HTC Inspire 4G and now on a GS3).
If anyone can help, thanks!

I believe it's your contact to display...
Open contacts
Press the menu key and scroll down to contacts to didplay.
Select all or you Google account from there.

Try going to settings and under the sync menu click on Google account and resync the contacts.

Adding this in case any one else is seeing the same issue:
Did you check if any of your sync accounts are failing to sync? In my case it was facebook sync so i removed FB from the list of accounts to sync with and the other contacts were restored. Mine is Galaxy S2 running ICS so YMMV.
Looks like a bug in Android is preventing it from showing contacts even if one of many sync accounts fail.
Contacts not showing on Android phone.

I had the same problem on my HTC One X. After some time I figured it out. Sign out of your Google mail account and resign in again. After a 'sync'
all my contacts magically appeared. I hope this helps.

This has been happening to me for a while now, and it was driving me insane!! I also save all my contacts to gmail account, yet all of them never show up, even with display all contacts. Sometimes, even doing a search in contacts would not find them, even though they were there!! Just now figured it out, and I am happy, happy, happy!! No need to sign out and sign back in. Just go into your contacts, hit the menu button to bring up settings, hit contacts to display, check 'customized list", now there should be a setting button beside that, hit that, go down to your gmail account and pick it, now u will see like 6 boxes, such as my contacts, starred in android, etc, all the way at the bottom check "all other contacts", save it and you're in business!! Hope this helps...

Unfortunately I don't have a 'contacts to display' or 'customise list' on my HTC One X, just 'Only with phone number' option but never mind
whatever works.
If there's a will, there's a way!
My suggestion : Go into CONTACTS. Hit the RIGHT OPTION (CONTACTS) Then the MENU button. Then ACCOUNTS. Tap on your GOOGLE account. In there you will have the SYNC options.
I just went through this because all of my contacts are not syncing. I have 95% of them for whatever reason.......

Try deleting your google account completely from your phone and re-adding it after a reboot.
This is driving me crazy too...
So,I've installed kitkat 4.4.2 on Friday and everything was really ok. Today I realized when someone is calling me on Viber,there are no contacts,the same is with WhatsApp.
And when I want to use my phone contacts,they are all gone. Then I need to copy the contacts from the sd card(cause there is no option to show contacts from sim card) and they showed up,when I click on Viber again,the contacts are gone again.
Anyone can help me with that???
Problem Solved

you're the best man,
i have been facing this problem with my old Samsung S2 and was one of the main reason that i decided to change it on S4, but imagine that i got the same prob !!
no one was able to fix it ( most probably everyone is busy in the I-phones . . . . )
But the Solution is: check "all other contacts"
thanks a lot
