I have the problem that all contacts are twice or triple in the dialer app. In the contacts app you can set that only Google contacts are displayed and turn off WhatsApp etc. I can't finde such an option in the dialer....

Found a solution finally. The problem seems to happen when you backup your contacts from another phone during the setup and it seems to be a sync problem. When you edit a contact, it is synced and the doublicates disappear. So, I didn't want to edit every contact separately.
Solution is: go to Contacs-App (not the dialer app). Choose in the right edge of the search bar your Google-Account. Then you mark all contacts. When everything is marked, go to the arrow in the upper right edge and create a new label. Wait a few minutes to sync all contacts to that label. Now you can delete the label again und the dublicats in the Phone-App disapear.

Guys, i have a problem with this ROM. It's related to PHONE.apk. Every time i try to add a contact it goes to GOOGLE CONTACTS and not the phone contacts. Even when i restored my vcard it only shows google contacts when i clic on the contact tabs. Is there a way to see the PHONE contacts and not google contacts ??
In the display options there is no option for display only the PHONE CONTACTS
Tks guys
I believe this is just something you change in your settings in accounts and sync?
Nope. I just don't know how to display only the phone contacts. There is no option for that.

You could try using an alternate dialer.
Can you give a hint on one?
For my phone, i just go to the contacts screen press the left button and select "display options". In that screen you should be able to select "only contacts with phones" and it won't show any of your contacts that are just email addresses, or twitter, etc
I have V4.5.7. though so I'm not sure if it would be different.
Does anyone have the issue of duplicate contacts in messaging? I see all my contacts twice in messaging when i go to create new. For whatever reason, it reads the sim card and phone contacts. In my phone contacts it only shows one of every contact. I have tried reflash/wipe and checked messaging contacts straight away but it shows SIM contacts as a default. There is no way to unselect this option.
running XXKG2 litepro 3.1 so not sure if different ROMS make a difference
OK, you are running KG2, so that's 2.3.4 right? AFAIK, there is an added option to view/add contacts from SIM cards now which was missing in the first place. So there may be an option to see only SIM/Phone/Google contacts. Try to find it if it is there.
Regards.
This option is not available in messaging. I have looked but cannot find. In the contacts icon, you have the option to see sim, phone, facebook etc. But selecting what you want to see here does not reflect in the messaging app
yes i am running 2.3.4
I maybe wrong but in 2.3.3 this is what I get by pressing Menu- More- Display options- Select contacts to display under Contacts, so are you getting this option or not?
Regards.

but you are doing this in contacts. If you go to your messaging. Create a new message. Select a contact from your list. My list has everyone twice.
There are no options to select what to display in the messaging app
am i the only one experiencing this???
me too, i have duplicate contacts too :S
Same for me... Whyyy????
same here... on 2.3.4. kh3
IF SOME ONE FROM U GUYS using BackUp PRO app from market this is your ISSUE !
Go to the Contacts app, press menu and select Merge with Google or something like that. Then check contacts.google.com on your pc and remove the duplicates.
Nothing above worked for me!
Seems sms app opens contacts app regardless of view options set in contacts app.
Tried GO contacts and sms but same problem
Hi,
i´m currently using the xperia tablet s 3g, a very nice peace of hardware.
But i´m not sure about the following thing:
is it not possible to see the facebook contacts in the sony contacts app? There is a menu item to select which contacts should be there but after selecting my facebook account there is only MY profile in the list, nothing else.
Is this a bug? Is there a chance to fix this?
Thx,
SirRobin
Hello all,
I am using Xperia P on Jelly bean (4.1.2). I had accidentally unlinked a local contact from whatsapp contact. I tried to link it back but I only find other contacts in the local phone contact list. I tried to delete the contact and add it again, but the whatsapp icon doesn't show in the local contact when I viewed it in phonebook. I synced the Whatsapp under Settings -> Accounts -> Whatsapp but when I viewed that contact in phonebook the whatsapp contact still doesn't show. Is there anyway to link the contact to whatsapp like the way it was before?
How exactly did you unlink it?

Hi carlaba2. Under edit contact, there is an unlink button under each local contact linked to whatsapp.

I just did the same for one of my contacts just to see if I found a way to solve it.. no success for now
I have managed to solve this very problem with the help of the WhatsApp support.
Open Settings
Go to [Accounts and Sync] > [WhatsApp]
Press the menu button and choose [Remove Account]
Go to WhatsApp and refresh your contacts. All the contacts in the phone book will be fixed.
The procedure may differ a little depending on your device - e.g. on a Galaxy Note 3 you have to choose [Accounts] in the [General] tab of the settings, then you have to tap [WhatsApp], [yourphonenumber] and [Remove Account]. Hope that helps!
Removing the whatsapp account will also delete the messages.
Here is the right way...
1. Have a whatsapp message sent to the contact which was unlinked.
2. Delete the mobile number from the phone's contact.
3. Go to whatsapp and the open the message of the contact. Note here in whatsapp that only the number is shown, not the name.
4. After opening the message click "add" and choose existing, browse to the contact that you have unlinked it from and select it.
Also note that the number is added to your address book with the full country code.
This problem is solved..
Just sign in to your whatsapp in any other device and resign in to your device.. then all the contacts will be refreshed and it will normal.
deleting the number or removing account will have their drawbacks.. like deleting you from the groups, also deleting your admin rights of the groups if any.. deleting the previous messages and chat history..
so simply sign into any other device and then get back to your original device.. :good:
I installed google contact sync apk but still I do not have contact sync.
I reset to the factory settings and the same problem. Contacts are sync during configuration and no more. I see the date of last contact sync and even I try to sync now the contacts do not sync. Anyone knows why?
My phone PLK-AL10, EMUI 4.0.1, ROM 6.8.16
p.s. I can not (like others) update via OTA to 6.9.1 !
1- Were your contacts syncing before installing google contacts?
2- Have you checked app permissions to see if it can modify, delete and create contacts?
3- have you used any other app (i.e. form PC like Thunderbird, EmClient and other PIMs) to see if you can have bidirectional change in contacts?
Have you checked your "Contacts to display" option?
Accidentally you might have selected SIM contacts only to view.
May be you would have synced your Contacts. But it might be restricted in the view.
Hi,
I still have a problem with noc contact sync.
1- Were your contacts syncing before installing google contacts?
Before 2 months there was no problem with sync. Yes before also contact sync.
2- Have you checked app permissions to see if it can modify, delete and create contacts?
Yes, I check permissions. Yes I delete google account and create new one.
3- have you used any other app (i.e. form PC like Thunderbird, EmClient and other PIMs) to see if you can have bidirectional change in contacts?
I do not use any another client from PC. On PC I just use gmail in browser.
Have you checked your "Contacts to display" option?
Yes I checked it also.

No.

OK, this is what I would do:
1 - backup with Huawei native app
2 - factory reset
3 - boot phone and don't setup anything, just skip all you can
4 - let the OS settle background processes for 15m
5 - reboot and add Google account
6 - check sync options
7 - test creating a contact to see if it is updated at Gmail web view
Another thing you might check is if you are using a ROM version with that known problem and if there is any update.

This is little silly question, anyways will confirm.
Are you adding your contacts to your google account ? or selecting SIM (or) Mobile to save the contacts ?
