Still no app that can remove or merge dublicate contants.. - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

was wondering

Don't know if there's an app for that.
I did it using my google account.

The dialer or contacts app for miui has remove duplicate feature. You could install that or flash it, which ever way works.
Swyped...

I believe that this issue can easily solved by using the HTC sense link function in your people app ...

HTC Sense, link "phone" button to contacts

Hi guys,
I really hate this T9 dailer thing what you get when you click on the phone shortcut in Sense. Is it possible to link this to contacts or even replace the whole dialer with the Android stock one?
Some of you may ask yourself why I hate it.
Reason 1: you dial people by mistake like all the time
Reason 2: you are unable to hide Facebook contacts
Reason 3: the call list is integrated and I normally need longer to find a contact I called before because he's not where you look for him.

Nearly forgot to mention that I am on a rooted HTC Froyo ROM.

Fixing permissions help

Hi, I used the fix permissions feature from ROM manager, and now for some reason all of my contact pictures no longer appear in my messages app, how can I fix this?
Thanks!

Are you referring to the facebook pictures that associate themselves with your contacts or personally applied ones? If it's the facebook ones, I believe I've read here somewhere that you have to remove the facebook account from the phone, re-add it and then do a sync again.
That happened to me... You have to go into contacts and reset every picture... Very annoying

What i did was, Flash CM6.1 and then install contact2sim from the market and use it. Contact2sim does not work on the stock sense rom.
Hope that helps!

have you tried MyPhoneExplorer to pull the numbers from your phone to PC?
probably not what youre looking for....
Even with newest oxygen? Are you sure you have contacts in sim card? Try it in a simple phone. Ie sonyericsson.

I had a similar problem when I imported my contacts from a vCard file on my SD card. They didn't show up in Contacts but did show up in SMS and the call log.
The problem is that by default unsynced contacts are hidden from the list. To show them, hit Menu > Display options, tap your Google account, put a check in "All Other Contacts," then finally tap the Done button. Your unsynced contacts should show up now.

[Q] pictures of contacts in messaging disappeared

Anyone have an idea on how to fix this? ty..
Nope stuck at the same problem x(

Export contacts to sd, delete all contacts, import contacts from sd, then turn off google contact sync. Worked for me but it's more of a work around than fix.

I've got the same problem, but it doesn't matter - it'll be resolved I think.
So is this yet another side-effect of the last firmware update...?

HTC desire running Cmod 7 issues.

Okay I'm running the latest cyanogen rom and all is well besides the fact I've lost some contacts and am unable to store new ones on the sim.
Is there a way around this?

yeppers, use your google account for contacts storage, you will never have a problem
+1
Google account automatically syncs with your phone, no need to hassle with contacts backup/restore Also, it can be used to backup your installed apps automatically (without settings restored tho)
Thank you so much guys

Invaluable tip, thanks very much. Had the same problem.
Pendlebum I downloaded an application called contacts2sim and it will store any numbers you have stored to your phone to your sim. Its a bit of an inconvenience but it works
