PEOPLE contacts doubling

chuckwilmot

My contacts are doubling, but not all.  There is an almost randomness to it.  Many double but not all.  When I should have about 180 contacts, now I show over 300.  I use the Backup Assistant and it shows the doubling also.  I used HTC Sync at home to synch (what should be) the same contacts in my Outlook contact file, and I didn't notice the doubling then.  This morning I changed a contact in the Backup Assistant on my computer and synched to the phone, and now I'm seeing the doubling.  Any suggestions as to how I can merge all the doubles back into one contact each?

I noticed this with BA, try importing contacts to Google and then you can log in and delete all duplicate easily and this will sync automatically to device as you change on site.

 

1. Log into Verizon Backup Assistant
2. Click on Export to CSV
3. Save File as (or Rename to) Contacts (it should already be converted to CSV so including .csv is redundant)
4. Log into Gmail/Google Voice
5. Click on Contacts
6. Click on Import
7. Browse for the Contacts (.csv) file
8. Click Import

 

Disable BA..

 

Settings / Applications / Manage Applications / All Tab / Sync Service / Clear Data

 

 

This will just disable BA but wont remove info saved on app..
