Hi Guys,
I'm having trouble trying to figure out the following.....
I go to the people hub, and then autos to "All" . . . . . The list shows all my contacts, however it shows ALL my HOTMAIL contacts and my Contacts from my SIM CARD.
All I want is the contacts on my sim card LISTED in the PEOPLE HUB, and dont want WP7 to alo use the HOTMAIL contacts list......
Any one know how to do this ???
goto settings. open each of your hotmail accounts and you will find sync options. untick contacts

Hi,
I cant find what you mentioned. Could you write a step by step if you dont mind please, just incase anyone has the same issue ?
1 . Click on Settings Tile
2 . ......etc......
Thanks in advance !!!
settings
email and contacts
tap an email address
select which content you want to synchronize
there is one exception though, your primary Live account, you can only select to sync your mail or not, the contacts will always get sync'd, I kinda got the mess under control via syncing facebook and only showing contacts that matched in email / facebook.
Here's how it SHOULD work:
Swipe to app list
Settings
Swipe to 'applications' settings
select 'people'
swipe down to list of accounts
select the account you don't want contacts for
deselect 'people' from the 'content to synchronise' set of checkboxes.
Sadly, that isn't an option for my Live login, so I have weird random MSN contacts in my list of people alongside the Exchange contacts I actually want.
Annoying! Also, you can't delete the Live account.

Done all of the above guys and a big thank you for taking time doing it !
So really we have an issue already...... L O L
Hopefully MICROSOFT WP7 team can fix this.....I'll think I'll send them a tweet, and it would be great if you guys could do the same if you use twitter ....
Thanks again guys !
What do I WANT it for, exactly?
Secondly, I just want to backup my contacts because Google Sync won't Sync my contact photos. I want my contact photos to save. Do I... backup the contact app?
Tibo is for flash junkies who like to flash roms like crazy It basicly restores your apps without loosing any data. My google sync works fine It saves Pictures with contacts.
I personally don't like to backup becouse for some reason when you update those aps that were restore dont work or it downloads and hangs. But to each its own.

I just want my contact pictures to save to my contacts, and for my contacts to be saved to Google.
To backup your contacts to your phone you could just click menu from the contact list and select export.
To backup them with google you just have to select the option Sync Contacts under Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> your gmail account
it is usually selected by default though...
after that, wait for it to sync and check your google account from your computer and go to contacts to check if they are there
the pics are backed up as well; they will not show on the contact list on your gmail account, but click on a contact and it will show you the picture
just as easy as that, if you flash/change/etc your phone, when you put your google account afterwards it will download all your contacts with their pics from google

It's never synced with my account. Never.
I have a video for this please check out my thread...

From what I can tell google does not sync a contact if it dies not have and email address. If I am wrong can someone tell me how to do it/ I have created contacts under google on my phone that do not have emails and they do not show up in my Google contacts on my computer. Google does not sync any of your "Phone contacts", at least not on my phone
Try going into Settings -> Accounts & Sync -> your gmail account again and this time press the menu button and click Sync Now.
Thanks! I tried but it did not work.
Something is wrong with your phone. On mine, every contact entry that I made on the phone shows up on my gmail contact list. Some don't have email addresses at all.
you could also try to make a backup by exporting the contacts, flash a new rom and try to sync again
are you on stock or on a custom rom?

Are your contacts saved to your phone or Google. My Google contacts sync, phone contacts do not. Google contacts without email don't sync either.

I am confused. Why would I need Google Contacts to Sync?
I have no Google Contacts. I copied all my SIM Contacts to my Phone. From there on out, how to make them Google Contacts, I'm at a loss.
I don't need my Google contacts to sync since they sync fine. It is the contacts that are saved to my phone that will not sync to google. I do not want to backup my contacts to the sim card since some of them have multiple #s. When you backup to the sim card each phone number under one contact is saved as an individual contact giving you multiple entries for one contact. My phone is still stock. I did a master reset to see if it would help with the shutdown issue, which by the way, did not help. It just created problems with all my contacts. Some were lost and others now have the wrong numbers associated with them. The only contacts that stayed the same were the Google contacts. The phone contacts were all messed up. I plan on getting the phone replaced under warranty and don't want to go through the headache of having to redo all the phone contacts again.
Just looking for a way to completely backup a stock phone. AT&T address book is useless now because of the JH7 update.
Hi,
Previously I was using a Dell Streak and I was able to disable contact syncing with my Google accounts.
Actually I have 2 google accounts and I wanna sync only contacts with one of them.
On Galaxy Note , I couldn't find the setting to disable contact syncing with one account.
How can I do that ?
thx.

Go to contacts--Options--More--Accounts
Select the account you dont want your contacts to be merged from. Uncheck "Sync Contacts"
Hope that helped.
Cheers
thanks. that option disables further sync of contacts from that account but it didn't delete the contacts coming from that account.
How can I delete existing contacts of that account ?
Also, I need the similar for calendar. Is there similar option ?

All'ite. Why don't you do this?
At this step you have disabled syncing your contacts to an account;lets call that account GAcc2. Lets call the account that you would like the contacts to be synced/Displayed from as GAcc1
Now you want to delete the contacts that have been synced from GAcc2.
So Go to Contacts--More--Display Options--Accounts and select contacts to be displayed only from GAcc2(i.e. uncheck the contact boxes for GAcc1). After this step the contacts that are displayed are only from GAcc2(the one you don't want). Simply select all the contacts and delete them. So this means we deleted "ONLY" GAcc2 contacts.
After this step again go to "Display Options" and under accounts select GAcc1.
and voila you will have only GAcc1 contacts left.
Do the same with calendar.
Hope that helped.
Cheers.
thank you. that's a good idea.
But when I delete from my Note, is there a risk of deleting them from Google acct GAcc2 ?
Also, some contacts are coming from both Google accounts. When I delete them, will I lose them from both accounts ?
And, how can I do that for calendar ? I can't find the correct app...
thx
Keep Auto Sync off, that will niether sync mail/contact/calender, when you need to sync it manually, just press on desire item n it will sync for that time only.
Further Now you can get Gmail with setup of Email application separately.

No that would be not an issue. Remember at that step you would have switched syncing to GAcc2 as "off". Just make sure you don't click "Merge with google".
If you are really scared and want to be backup proof i would suggest this;
I'm sure you would be having windows installed with Microsoft office. Microsoft office would have an app called microsoft exchange. Create a dummy account in exchange with a local Dat. Then go to google and search for tools to copy google contacts to exchange. There are plenty. Once you are done with that you would have a backup of your contacts. Similarly there are plenty of tools to do the reverse as well i.e. Microsoft Exchange -->Google server; this way you can restore it too.
Regarding the calendar its the same thing bro.
Browse to Settings-->Account and Sync--> select the account that you dont want calendar to be synced from-->Uncheck 'Sync Calendar'
Hope that helped.
Cheers.
Using Exchange Server with Android, without Google Contacts but with Market
THis post intended for people who use Exchange
Using Exchange Server with Android, without Google Contacts but with Market
To prevent your Google Accounts showing up in an Exchange Server minded device, uncheck autosync.
Create your Exchange account first, sync
Uncheck autosync
disable Wifi (your device must have slow connection)
Then add your google account.
Press Sync, but be DAMN fast to go to the account settings and quickly
uncheck the Contact,Calendar.
This way, you can have a fully Exchange server minded device, without
any junk from Google Downloaded, with Market access.
The phone is great, but the only thing stopping me to use it as main phone (over my Nexus 5) is that I can 't install Google Contacts so I can have all my contacts synced and edit them from Gmail on the computer.
Any idea or solution?
Thanks
Alex

I haven't installed google contacts yet but the built in contact app will sync to your google contacts. In fact, if you add a new contact it gives you the option to only add the contact to your phone and not sync it or sync to your google account.
Anyone else having trouble syncing contacts through google? I am on MIUI 9.6 China ROM, and I have installed the Google Contacts app and Google Contacts Sync from APKMirror (August 7th Version). Currently, when I try to restore contacts, it says that "No contacts are backed up to this account." However, when I go to Google.contacts.com, I can see all my contacts. Is the restore within the Google Contacts app searching a different location for the contacts? Thank you.
delete the gapps you installed manually and try the GoogleInstaller_V3.apk, for me contact sync and everything google related is working fine.

Is that the one that comes from the Mi Store when you search "Google"? I tried that one, but it didn't have contact sync.
https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=818070582850489460
i used this and it included google contacts sync app (and its working fine)
install everything (except playstore), playstore just download, decline install - reboot - install missing playstore.
Are you already install Google contacts too from play store? If not try to install it then turn on the sync
Had this problem as well, but fixed it. Make sure to set permissions for both the Google Contacts app as well as the Google Contacts Sync app.
This is the step to sync contacts from Google account to phone.
1.Open your device's Settings app .
2.Tap Cloud and Accounts.
3.Tap Accounts.
4.Select Google (If you have more than one account on your device, tap the one you want.
5.See if the option to sync contacts is enabled.
key here is to go to the App settings, and make sure all the permissions for Google Contacts Sync are checked, also change Battery to No Restrictions
What finally worked for me was to follow the instructions to download Googleinstallerv03.apk mentioned above... but when going into Account -> Google Account there was no "Contacts" setting...
BUT I went into Xiaomi's Contacts app and in there I chose to sync contacts from a mail account. Gmail was one of the options. I had to sign in again and now I have The Google account and a IMAP/POP3 account pointing to the same mail but it was able to sync all the contacts AND in Settings -> Account -> Google Account now it says "Contacts" and it syncs correctly..
So that worked for me on a Xiaomi Mi CC9 bought in China with the Chinese stable ROM
I couldn't get this working on my Redmi K20 Pro...
I used the Contacts app's bluetooth import feature instead.
I faced to that before, I think you need to make sure you installed a right google service. I found some time the google installer install a wrong google service, you may try to fix the problem by re-install the google service. hope it help!
You can also restore contacts from device directly.
Step 1: Enter the "Settings" on the device.
Step 2. Choose "Accounts & Sync" under the "Settings" section and elect the "Add account" option.
Step 3. Tap "Google" from the list and then follow the prompts to proceed to the next step.
