Local Contacts not showing in Contacts List

simana — Thu, 12 Jun 2014 02:49:26 GMT

Local contacts list only displays two contacts, my own and an emergency contact after sync'ing my Samsung 10.1 tablet with Google.

1.Local Contacts.

When l now open Contacts app, l am constantly presented with 'Setup/ Sync/ Import' contacts.

Yet all my local contacts are still available in the 'Groups' tab.

Through the Groups tab some days ago, l ended up on the full Contacts list, yet am unable to find it again, so the contacts are all there, the problem would seem to be with the App itself?

2. Google Contacts

a) When l attempt to 'Sync' with Google, a repeated 'Sync' error is given. I am assuming this is because there are none and all contacts are saved locally.

b) Why is it not possible to sync Local Contacts with Google and thus have a separate backup.

What l have tried as suggested on 'Setup/ Sync' dialogue:

1. Syncing and reimporting Local Contacts - This has resulted in multiple entries within 'Groups' tab yet not updated main list.

2. Syncing with Google account. - Local contacts are not on Google account and as l said above 'Sync' error

3. Import Contacts - Tried loading SD saved Local Contacts vcf file.

Please advise.

Whilst there is little I can do regarding the syncing behaviour I may be able to resolve the first issue:

Main Menu > Contacts > Menu Button > Filter > Untick both options under the "Filter" Section > Ensure "All" is ticked in the "Local Contacts" Section under "Display Contacts" > Done.

What are your thoughts about this forum? Let us know by doing this short survey.

Hi Sam, do you mean 'Main menu' in Contacts App as l cannot see a menu option there. I took a couple of screenshots yet am having problems posting on forums in both Firefox and Chrome right now. The reply 'Rich Text' dialogue box is not working correctly and l'm having to post through HTML. Also when l checked the support page for image posting, the 'editorâ€™s tool bar' is also not displaying in either browser.....very odd
