I have a new fossil q explorist and am having a problem with contacts on the watch. Several contacts have multiple listings under their name, each with the same number. So number xxx-xxx-yyyy shows up 2 or 3 times under the same name. I've tried resetting the watch and repairing but it doesn't help. The contacts only show up with 1 number on phone. I have all other accounts set up on phone to not sync contacts. Any thoughts

When it syncs your phone's contacts with your gmail contacts, which way does it replace? For example if you have the same contact in your phone and gmail but a different phone number for each, which one will it keep? And if you delete contacts from one but not the other, will it delete them on the other or will it sync them right back as if you never deleted them?
Seems to be quite random, actually.
I had a problem when I disabled sync on my G1 for two weeks, and when I enabled it, all the contacts I added to it during that time got erased.
So, be careful and back up your contacts often (from the google.com/contacts interface).
Supposedly, it merges the contacts. So if you have a new number for a contact on phone, it should update the gmail contact, and vice versa. and since it supports multiple mobile numbers (almost infinite numbers of each kind), there shouldn't be any deletion involved.

So what if someone steals my phone and erases all my contacts, will it see that I've erased them on the phone and in turn erase them from my gmail contacts too? Or will it keep syncing them back onto the phone?
Usually I update/erase phone numbers on the phone itself, whereas I update email address through gmail when I'm checking my email (although sometimes I add them through the phonebook in the phone). I'm curious how the sync application "knows" which one is newer (ie. what happened most recently) - maybe it attaches a hidden timestamp to every piece of a contact?
Hi.
I tried to link one of my contacts to his facebook account but instead it linked him to ALL my facebook friends so all their details showed up under his contact info dozens of emails, phones numbers etc. Going into his contact profile and "unlinking" these others had no effect, all I could do was delete my face book info from the Accounts and sync settings and this removed the extra contact info. However his contact is still linked to two other contacts (google contacts) on my phone and I cannot remove the links for these no matter what I try. Any suggestions.? I'm using Villain 5.2 ROM.
Edit:. Also contacts I create on the phone don't appear, but appear on Google contacts. Contacts I create on Google don't appear on the phone.
Thanks
I am having an issue with sense storing text messages from the same numbers under separate threads on my TMOUS. One thread for the Sim contact entry of the phone number and one thread for the HD2's stored contacts that I have imported from the SIM...Its really annoying.
In the phone tab you can easily change "View" to Contacts so that you don't have to look at duplicates of every single entry every time you enter your phonebook but when I compose a new text message there is no way to have the sense only show me the HD2's contacts. It always shows me all the duplicate entries of the same numbers SIM contacts and as well as tabs for the same contacts that were imported to the device.
In order to not lose my contacts permanently, do I have to save my SIM contacts externally, import them to my phone then delete them off my SIM in order to have my phone contacts (which are superior to SIM bc I can load them with multiple numbers email addresses, etc) be the only contacts and threads sense makes in the messaging app???
There has to be an easier way to resolve this? What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance for the help...
Is there a way to show only contacts with phone numbers in my contact list? I have a lot of email contacts and I don't need to see them all, I just want the phone number contacts. Is this possible?
Hoping someone can help, My Mrs phonebook is screwed up, she has duplicate entries for every contact she has. For example her contact for me has duplicated numbers;
Home,Mobile,Mobile,mobile,home,other,work,home,internet,Internet,internet,internet,internet.
Basically the same numbers and email address are listed over and over again for every contact.
Ideally i would like to import them to the pc and then edit and send back to the phone.
I have tried Google sync and doing it by gmail - no good. kept coming up with delete limit exceeded when i sync'd and now gmail has lost the contacts!
Sony Ericsson sync would not import contacts full stop. It sync'd calendar with no problems but contacts remained blank.
Can anybody help or suggest an alternative??
Thanks
lol same happened to me
Check that the display options are not showing multiple sources for the same contact, if so turn these sources off.
My suggestion would be to copy all contacts to your google account, and manage them there, then turn of all other sources for contacts.
