How to backup all contacts with full res images
I like to experiment with roms and settings and that's why i have to take backups and restore my contacts several times a month. Google contacts sync is worse than useless (reason: suppose one contact has multiple phone numbers and emails, after restore Google always creates separate contacts with those, and it doesn't backup high resolution images).
There are several apps on playstore which deal with this issue but they all fail miserably while backing up original quality contact photos stored in my device. Mcbackup does a decent job but even when photo compression is disabled, is still reduces the quality of saved images.
So please please please help me find a proper way to take full contact backups with original quality contact images. Share your valuable experience. :)

[Q] Contacts show up twice in dialer
So this is a weird issue.
Using the Sony Dialer when I use T9 to search for a contact via name it shows each contact twice that has whatsapp.
I guess this is because whatsapp places the same number again in the contact under "whatsapp calling"
Google stock launcher ignores this and just shows each contact once, but because the sony dialer shows each contact with each number most of my contacts show up twice.
This is really annoying. Is there anyway to tell the dialer to just show a contact once if it has a duplicate number?
Or can I somehow install the google dialer on a sony rom?

Facebook contacts not syncing with Tab S2
Hi,
I've installed Facebook app on my new Galaxy Tab S2. Inside account's settings I can see only Contacts to sync (unlike on Note 4 where I have calendar and photos to sync), but syncing doesn't work. When I manually sync it ends immediatly, but no facebook contacts are visible.
Does anyone have similar issues?

Replace stock contacts manager with Google Contacts
Hi All,
I have recently got a Lenovo K3 Note, which I rooted almost immediately and started playing with...
There are a couple of annoying things and the worst one is that the Contacts Manager that comes with it is ugly, has a terrible icon and has these stupid Chinese characters... plus is not really like the Google Contacts (or People) that I had on my old phone.
I was wondering if it's possible to get the google contacts app back. I have tried looking for the apk but with no luck. I would like to avoid flashing a custom rom (I'm very happy with the way it is now and don't feel like experimenting too much).
I have noticed that there are gapps packages which I can flash with TWRP but before I get there I wanted to ask if it's the right direction to go or if those are just other apps.
Ideally I would like to find an apk for that and simpy replace the system contacts manager through Titanium.
Any help or ideas?

Unable to sync Google contacts with tablet (Android)
Hi all,
I have just taken delivery of my X98 air 3g tablet and have setup the android side with my gmail account details, but there appears to be no way to enable syncing with my gmail contacts. In the account options it doesn't list contacts, and in the contact app I can only add two types of account, corporate or game centre account.
Can anybody please advise me if there is any way to access my gmail contacts on this tablet in android mode (I haven't even thought about syncing the windows 10 side yet :( ).
Many thanks for any advise
Keith

[Q] Kitkat 4.4.3 contacts?
Does anyone have the 4.4.3 contacts APK they can provide me with or can point me in the right direction?
Problem with sync FB contacts to android's address book.
Hi. I am new here.
I have problem with sync contacts from Facebook on my smartfon with Android 4.4.4 (Samsung Galaxy Core Prime LTE). It was working about 1 or 2 weeks ago, now doesn't work. Android doesn't download even 1 contacts from Facebook to his address book.
I logged out from Facebook application, deleted account Facebook from account in address book. Then added Facebook account again, logged in in Facebook application. Switch on sync all contacts and setup contacts to show for google account and Facebook account. Sync was completed and nothing was downloaded.
I don't know how can I fix this up.
PS: Facebook application was reinstalled, doesn't help..
PS2: application such sync.me doesn't download any FB contacts , too.

[Q] Google Dialer and Contacts on any android?
Is it possible to sideload the google dialer and contacts? I've found several links stating you can but I have had no such luck attempting it with the Lollipop and Kitkat dialer.
SERIOUS PROBLEM: Google Contacts Sync generates xxx amount copy of each contact!
Hi all.
My set-up: LG G4, Lollipop 5.1, not rooted.
Google Account, Outlook.com, LinkedIn, Skype etc.
The proplem is that during my night-time, Google Contacts Sync starts syncing my contacts (to somewhere; the are NOT visible in my Google account) generating xxx copies of each contact. I have no exact timeline when this has started to realize, but by using Simpler Contacts 5.0.2 (paid version) I was able to clean that horrible mess (took overall ~5 hours with 55.000+ contacts).
Currently I have disabled all contacts syncing.
So should I:
1) Copy all my contacts to Google (already exported cleaned .vcf to my SD card) and import that to Google account?
2) Do something else, what?
What an earth is causing that!?!?
Much appreciated.
BR,
Timo

Brutal lag when accessing contacts
Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, I had a quick scan of the threads and couldn’t see it.
Anyone else having issues accessing Contacts on G4 ? I presently have circa 300 contacts, all sync’d from Outlook, so they are quite detail heavy, some pics, many notes etc….
Whenever I go to access the Contacts it can take 10-12 seconds for the list to appear. I wondered if it was to do with the volume of contacts, so I removed 300 (as had 600 before), but it didn’t make any difference at all.
The ‘online search’ function is unchecked. The rest of the phones functions are working lightning fast, just the Contacts.
LG’s only suggestion is to “factory reset the device and try again” – brilliant.
I've already deleted all contacts and re-sync. Pretty much all apps have their contact sync turn off. Nothing I do seems to make any difference.
Any help / suggestions much appreciated. I’m at the point where I’m going to ditch it and go back to Samsung (I should never have strayed, grass is always greener etc…).

Whatsapp Contacts
Well I have been looking for way to delete the contacts from whatsapp, I read a lot of ways and non of them seems to be working
When I look in my contacts, I will find
1. Contact from Gmail (I want all my contacts to stay there)
2. Facebook
3. Linkedin contacts ( Now I stopped the sync of contacts from there)
4. Whatsapp contacts
When I merge (join) all my contacts using the stock contacts app, I end up with a long list of repeated numbers within the contact card itself with sources in the bottom ( Gmail, facebook, Whatsapp) and if I try to split them and delete the whatsapp one it says it will not be deleted but it will be hidden
is there a way to delete the Whatsapp contacts from the phone or whatsapp server ? I hate it when my contacts are a complete mess

contacts not syncing
Hello, I received the notification to update to 5.1 yesterday.
I downloaded it and when try to install it, it said it failed. I´m not sure if its because I´m using a custom rom. I have UBL, root and using Z4 experience.
the thing is that today I notice that my contacts are not showing, if I go to contacts nothing apperas, if I receive a call, it will only show the number as if I didn´t have the contact stored. I checked my accounts and all of them seem to be synced.
Do anyone else have this problem?
