Any easy way to join contacts en masse?

[boxta]

Hi all,

Just switched from EVO 4g to GS2, and I am trying to find a way to join my unorganized mess of contacts back to sanity.

In HTC Sense, it will automatically suggest matching contacts, and I can join ALL of my matching contacts in one click.

So far I am not able to find it here

I am joining the contacts one by one for now, but it gets old pretty quickly. Before I spend anymore time micromanaging the contacts joining, I am wondering if there's any quicker way (like Sense) to join contacts together for all my contacts?

thanks

I've been wondering the same thing. this is also a problem running cm7, I believe.

Yeah, my contacts just went from over 700 to over 1400 once FB kicked in. Nearly everyone is doubled. Not cool. Anyone know of a way to fix this quickly on the SGS2E4GT?

UPDATE: I found it!!! If you also have your contacts tied to a Gmail account (as I do), then go into Gmail and edit your contacts. Under the 'More" dropdown you can choose "find & merge contacts". It fixed everything in about 5 seconds.
