Contacts duplicated, but not showing in database

Hi,
now I have a really weird problem.
I had my contacts in the phone database. Then I've setup a syncml server and a syncml-account on the desire and synced all contacts into the syncml-account on the desire.
That worked pretty good. So I wanted to delete the contacts in the phone-database and use just the syncml-account.
I deleted some contacts from the phone database but not all.
Here comes the weird part:
The Contact-Application shows me that 0 contacts are stored on the the phone. All Contacts are stored in my syncml-account.
But if i press "search contacts" all contacts show up twice. One time with the syncml-accountname and one time with the addition "phone (not synced)".
How can I get rid of the "old" contacts still in the phone-database?
I tried to erase them through the application-control but that didn't change anything.

The Touch Pro2 does not support importing contacts from a file. You'll need to input them manually on the device or on the e-mail program you may sync with. You could also add the contacts to Microsoft My Phone by going to the website on your computer and adding them there. Then the next time you sync with My Phone, all your contacts will be updated.

[Q] Phone App vs. Contacts App Inconsistencies

On my LGOG, there are two apps, Phone and Contacts. In Contacts, I can use the Display option to expand the categories of contacts that are shown and I have set it to show the maximum number of contacts possible. However, in the Phone (i.e., Dialer) app, I am unable to pull up certain names under the Phone app's Contact tab (not to be confused with the separate Contact app). These names freely show in the Contacts app, but are missing from Phone. I cannot find any Display settings in the Phone app. The Contacts tab display in the Phone App says "Phone Numbers > Custom" at the top, but I cannot figure out how to change the "Custom" display.
Does anyone know how to change what contacts are displayed in the Phone (not Contacts) app?
Also, in the Phone app, the Favorites tab displays my contacts as large icons/tiles. Is there any way to make them show up in list view? Again, I see these settings in the Contacts app but not the Phone app. Very frustrating!
Thanks for your help.

Contact listing inconsistent in Groups
I have an HTC HD2. When using a MIUI ROM the contacts are listed pic then name on a single line, same in looking in Groups. When using Jellybean or ICS ROM the contacts are listed name then pic but in the Groups (when looking at contacts) they are listed two pics and names per line. Is there anyway to make the contacts in Groups as single line entries per name ? If not, could that be something to be worked on in future updates ?

[Q] Contacts names on SMS threads & Call list taken from Sim

Hi !
After placing/receiving calls or sending/receiving SMS, device shows the contact name from the Sim card. (The contact name that appears in the call log or SMS thread tittle).
Contact to display is set to - Phone. Still it seems the device looks into the Sim card by default, while it registers the call/SMS.
This makes the names appear shorten as they are in the Sim.
How can I set the device to look at the contacts that are store on it ??
I'm using the original Lg apps and software (Android version - 5.0)
Thanks
Same thing happened to me after I did a full reset. I have my contacts in google contacts so what I did was -
1) I deleted all my contacts (phone and google). It should also delete those in google cloud. So keep internet and sync enabled.
2) Go to contacts.google.com and restore your contacts from yeaterday(for instance). Google keeps all your contact changes from the last 30 days.
You should have Sync and internet enabled all that time on your phone during that.
It should sync the contacts and all should be working fine.

Delete Whatsapp Contacts

Well I have been looking for way to delete the contacts from whatsapp, I read a lot of ways and non of them seems to be working
When I look in my contacts, I will find
1. Contact from Gmail (I want all my contacts to stay there)
2. Facebook
3. Linkedin contacts ( Now I stopped the sync of contacts from there)
4. Whatsapp contacts
When I merge (join) all my contacts using the stock contacts app, I end up with a long list of repeated numbers within the contact card itself with sources in the bottom ( Gmail, facebook, Whatsapp) and if I try to split them and delete the whatsapp one it says it will not be deleted but it will be hidden
is there a way to delete the Whatsapp contacts from the phone or whatsapp server ? I hate it when my contacts are a complete mess
