Mooncatt, I decided to try again your method because I believe you know what you're talking about and what happened when I first tried it was, I suspect, some sort of anomaly. The first time I did it this morning it worked, but then reverted back. So I went through the following steps, writing...

I see now some of what happened. Being new to Android I've found that you can drag icons to the to the move bar at the top, then drag them down on another screen. At that point you can open them. In this case it put them on the move bar, but when you put them on a screen and tried to open them...

Well that didn't work out well. Now every time I hit an icon -- Contacts, Phone, or Play Store -- the icon simply jumps up to become a smaller icon on a light band at the top of the screen. So I tap it up there and jumps back down to the start screen. An endless loop, but won't open. So I can't...

That makes sense. Admittedly I'm a bit hesitant, but since you've done it before successfully, I'll give it a try.

As you suggested I turned off auto sync. But I couldn't see an option to sign out of my Google account. Odd, I thought. So I searched and found that apparently you can't really sign out. You can delete the account. But given that so many other things like the store require it, I'm not sure if an...

I went back and checked to be sure. Yes it was in Settings | Apps | Show System Apps | Contacts | Storage. I looked for a place where that option might appear in the Contacts app and couldn't find it. I haven't seen a message that the contacts were joined or merged, nor have I been able to find...

Thanks for moving this to the right forum, and thanks for the suggestion. I had already turned off syncing of Google contacts, but had not know about deleting or clearing cache. So I cleared the cache and deleted. Seemed to make sense. Went back to the Contacts app. All the information had...

I just returned to Android after some time away by purchasing a Galaxy S7 Edge (immediately upgraded to Nougat 7.0). My master list of contacts is on my live.com account managed by Outlook on Windows 10. These are the up-to-date contacts that I want to show in Phone. I have set up the live.com...
