I think you need stock Rom to save contacts to SIM or there might be an app for it. Not sure.

There is option to import contacts to sim

^ Import means bringing in from outside. I dont think you can do vice versa in Non-stock based custom roms. Again- Not sure.

Just login to google account from pc, go to contacts, and delete them. And disable syncing. After that clear contacts data, and restore contacts from sd card

Yes. www.google.com/contacts/

I also had that problem. Log into your Google account via PC (as yackovsky already said) and just merge duplicates.

I also had the same problem i had around 6-7 same contacts then i use go sms pro and batcg deleted all .It took me almost one hour to do as i was having around 4000 contacts

Contact ringtone

Sorry there must be a simple way but i just cant find it, just shifted from an htc desire and i cant find a way to assign a ringtone to individual contacts.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
You can only do it for contacts stored on the phone not google contacts sadly. You just long press a contact and then select edit and you can select ringtone.

It's a right pain in the arse... but if you want you can make a new contact on your phone or sim card using just the name!! add a ringtone, then edit, link contact, and link it to your exchange contact then it will work.. As I say a pain in the arse but the only way I found to give some of my gmail contact a ringtone!
I do not think that this is a froyo thing, ithis option was on htc desire before it was updated to 2.2, heck this ootion was on my winmo phones years ago.

[Q] joined contacts

is there a way to backup my manually joined contacts because most of my friends are in Puerto Rico and most of them use two last names like almost everybody in Puerto Rico and the point is that i do not save my contact with both last names in my outlook or gmail account and every time i flash a new ROM i have to manually edit almost all my contact and link them to their facebook accounts. is there an easy way to do it? i'm willing to pay for any app that does this thanks in advance.
i do have titanium backup but i really don't know if it's able to do that
Have you tried exporting to the sd card through the contact app?
Have you tried this method? Does it works for you?

I have, it works, another option is to sync your contacts with Google.

Sorry I guess you're right and I didn't realize that's your issue. I manually link them with FB.

its funny because they are completely gone, i did have a backup on my computer, but im missing a very important number that i never backed up, i have 0 contacts under my gmail.com so there is nothing to sync or re add =/ it was just magically gone.

Then it was really strange. Try restoring using any of your old back ups from recovery and sync again or export to a vCard to be safe.

smart man, that did it!
Usually when there are a lot of contacts got deleted (on PC), it will tell you that "there are multiple changes to contact. Do you want to sync?" or something like that (happen to me once). Did you get that?
