Yep.

I will fondle your phone this weekend.

And you can laugh at the fact that I've got all my contacts duplicated 3 times each... Good old Android. I seem to remember having this problem last time I had one and that was years ago!

Also, the play store is quite an eye opener. Unless you know the name of the app you want to search for, I can see it being very hard to find something that isn't an ad infested pile of rubbish.

If you don't know the name of what you're searching for then, well, what are you searching for exactly? I genuinely don't understand your complaint here. Obviously there is a lot of nonsense in there, as there is with the Apple app store, but that's just a side effect of having more than like 10 applications available for your platform.

Vision's just used to the Windows Store, where you can browse the top ten lists for each app type. Because every app on WP is in the top ten of whatever it is.

I realised as I made that joke that you'd already made that joke, but I was committed by then.

It may have synced the other lists *to* your google account. Might have to manually curate the list.

You'll get an email only contact for everyone you've emailed, IIRC

Which is fine and I think I knew that anyway. This person was added by myself anyway so that doesn't matter... but I did only add him once.

I've checked that and it hasn't. The link that Gaywood posted above goes to my contacts and they're all present and correct, presented just once per name.

Now I think about it, there's extra names coming from somewhere. For instance, one of my Google contacts only has an email address against his name. He's only on my Google contacts and no where else yet he still appears 3 times in the contacts on my phone. One of my other friends (who I speak to regularly) is in both my Google and Outlook contacts yet he only appears twice?

It’s all very strange. I’m not losing any sleep over it but it would be nice to have it sorted.

You should get one of those iPhones. I hear they're good

I did indeed but there isn't multiple contacts in my Google contacts, it's when they're in my phone that's the problem.

You haven't done something bonkers like storing all your contacts on your SIM as well as online have you? That's the only reason I can imagine that you'd get multiples but only on your phone.

In that case, in the contacts app on your phone, go to the menu in the top right, choose Contact Manager (if it's there, depends what contacts app is loaded on the Nokia) and merge contacts should be an option in there.

So you have all the same contacts in Outlook and in Google, and you see them once from each?

I've got Lindy Bnx60 wireless noise cancelling headphones. They were 80 quid and are ace.

Settings | Users and Accounts | Google | Account Sync and uncheck Contacts

What the fuck have you done

Surely turning off the syncing will only stop further changes coming through, you'd need to actually delete the existing contacts that came from Google to get to the state you want no?

What the fuck have you done

Android people... what is a good app for downloading and listening to podcasts?
