I seem to have 2 entries for each of my phone contacts - is this normal ?
Has anyone else had the same ?

Hi And welcome to the site, Mine seems fine with only one set of contacts - Just a guess but could it be that it has picked up contacts from your phone memory as well as the phone's sim card ? - so duplicating them, I had this once when I bought a new phone - just delete from phone memory and keep on sim


hope you enjoy the car - been very pleased with mine

What phone do you have mate?

 

[5seriesnomore]

got a HTC Wildfire S
I've tried deleting the phone from the 208's connected devices and re-connecting - but still same result

A bit odd

As PoloX said, check you haven't got duplicate contacts on the phone and SIM.

Nope - not that - I don't even have an option on the phone for storing contacts on the sim card
Wondering if it has anything to do with having syncronised my contacts with my gmail account - and the 205 pulling in both the phone contact and the g-mail contact as a duplicate

But on the phone there is only the one entry per contact.

Anyone else running an android phone with their contacts sync'd with their gmail account ?

If anyone else is suffering from duplicate contacts - I have finally worked out what the cause and hence solution was as far as my android phone was concerned.

If you have synced your contacts with g-mail and also directly on to you phone - say via htc sync , an android phone will show these as a single synced entry

However - there are actually two records of each contact - a direct sync contact from htc sync + the g-mail contact - and the P208 shows them as separate contacts - hence 2 entries.

I only worked this out when I installed whatsapp on the phone , and for the contacts in that - the P208 started showing 3 entries.

Thanks for the tip - think I have my Galaxy S3 synced only with Gmail so only have the one set. Good to know if I tweak the config on the phone.
