Link ALL phone contacts to Google contacts!

[packerbacker]

Could I export all of my contacts to the SD card, delete all of my contacts from Google, and then import the contacts to the phone? Would they then not show up on Google if I set my contacts to sync never? I am willing to try anything to get more HQ contact pictures - I am so sick of the tiny grainy pieces of sh-t I get from Google.

That should work. I was screwing around with my contacts today because I had the "duplicate data" issue. I deleted all of my contacts with Contact Remover, re-synced with my gmail account, exported the contacts to the SD card, deleted the contacts from the phone with Contact Remover, imported the contacts from the SD card saving them as "Phone" contacts, and I set my gmail account to never sync the contacts. Now I don't have the duplicate data, and I can assign specific ringtones for the contacts.

I used the above tip from TripSixes. I only have specific ringtones for about 5-6 people, so it was no big deal for me to create a Phone Contact for each of them.

In that Phone Contact, I only entered First Name, Last Name, and the Ringtone.

When I created and linked it, it sometimes created a simple backup entry in Google, but it was easy to delete that. Too many hoops? Technically, yeah. But we're talking 30 seconds per contact. Not that bad.

Hope this helps.

Another way to delete all contacts is: Menu>setting>applications>manage applications>contact storage (also contacts)>clear data

This removes all contacts when you do the clear data on Contact Storage and Contacts
