help with my droid contacts

[ksaul]

Having couple problems with my droid (no themes/roms/hacks installed) contacts.
1) when I go to edit a contact, it is listed twice for my gmail account, and often has the same phonenumbers listed twice when u view the contact detail.

2) I have facebook linked to my sync and all first and last names correctly spelled, but some contacts aren't being synced with facebook.

3)some contacts are listed by their email address and not their first and last name (yes, their names are entered itnto the contact detail)

4) some contacts can't be searched, but are in my contact list (google search works, but not search via contact list)

If anyone could help please id appriciate it.
Also is there a program, or external way to edit/add contacts from my pc? Sometimes its annoying editing details on the phone.

Same issue. Just bought my phone last week. At first I didnt know about the sync w/ FB contacts option so I started entering in my contacts manually. I then enabled sync for FB and Gmail. Gmail has not contacts on the server side. Once I did this it imported a bunch of them from FB, but also added doubles of people. Some do and dont have FB. I only see the doubles when editing contacts. When I did the sync my contacts that didnt have FB disaperred and I had to re-enter them. Im guessing this has something to do with showing twice. Now im at a loss. I have tried disabling the Sync contacts w FB and gmail option but the synch still stays. I would rather not have this and just enter my contacts in manually. Not sure whats going on here but kind of a mess and kind of frustrating.

Log into your gmail account, and go into contacts. See what they look like there.

Go to your contacts. choose one that has a double entry. press the main menu button on the bottom of the phone to "edit" the contact. On the edit screen press the main menu button again and you should see a "join" arrow on bottom right. this will allow you to join multiple contacts. Hope this helps. Took me many frustrating nights to figure this out.....

Second question then. I have FB currently set to synch. Now my girlfriend has some of the same people on her FB and she has them listed as contacts on her phone but they arent coming up on mine. What gives?

CONTACTS > MENU > DISPLAY OPTIONS

That's a good place to start.

Many times when you sync contacts from a prior phone, this will happen.

The string above will get you headed in the right direction. Just uncheck the duplicate info, and it won't display.

Had the same issue when I purchased then added email accounts from Exchange and Gmail.

I made Exchange my primary because it is my corporate and that resolved my issue of dup contacts.

You have a choice of where you are adding the contacts, and which ones you view. Google, Corporate, etc.

When I synced up my old Win Mo Omnia contacts with this, I had 4 copies of each.

Finally I realized I was just viewing everything that was added. All I had to do was open contacts > MENU > DISPLAY OPTIONS and uncheck everything that I didn't want to display.

I decided I wanted to only display my google contacts, so I unchecked everything from the other accounts.

Problem fixed as far as the multiple contacts. Your problem is that you are probably saving contacts to say CORPORATE for example, but viewing GOOGLE contacts. That's why you don't see a change.

Just a guess.
