Contacts have duplicated information, i.e. birthdays

[spookyload]

I don't have the problem of duplicate contacts. My problem is when viewed contacts have duplicate information such as birthdays and anniversarys, but only a single entry when editing. Anybody else having this problem?? Thanks

If you have the contacts auto-backup app from Verizon, be very suspicious. It palys havoc in differing degrees with your contacts. Best not to activate it and delete all contacts on the Verizon website. Unfortunately, the only way I know of to un-activate it once it's activated is to do a factory data reset and skip that part when it shows up. Then, major reinstall of apps.

you can probably root the phone and freeze the backup assistant app. im going to try this today.

Had this exact issue. It was GMail. Deleted all of my GMail contacts (desktop website) and resynched. Turned off GMail contacts synching. Problem gone.
