Where to save contacts: Phone, SIM, or Google Contacts?

It may depend on what phone you have (which manufacturer and what software version), but I'd start by opening my contacts app and looking for "manage contacts" in your settings. If you are lucky you may find something obvious like "move contacts" in there (my Samsung, running Android 13, has that).

(Back when this thread started it was often simplest to export the contacts to a vcard file and then re-import them to a different location, but things have come on a bit since then!)
Hadron, Thank you -- that was quick.

Yes I have a Samsung S21 and have 965 contacts in Phone and much less in the 4 google accounts (11, 23,12, 434 respectively). I am not counting Aol (yes hard to believe), Outlook, and 3 work/volunteer email accounts. I am trying to make things much simpler and also so that I can start synching everything.

I see the Move Contacts. Now I just have to figure out where I want the contacts though it looks like I have sync on for most of accounts - though not sure that I understand Sync contacts as they all do not have the same entries.

Trojan

Once I had over 600 Trojans for my windows, it is a very dangerous game. It was so hard to send it to the electronic people and give them, to ask them to wipe it all clean away. I done a complete wipe through my comp, took me up to the wire of sending it to them, pretty close to about five hours.

Is there a simple TV type remote control for my tablet?

Can one of those voice assistant apps be used for this? I don't use any of them myself so don't know (not a fan of them for privacy reasons).

One simple solution is a bluetooth mouse: you need to be close enough to see the pointer on the screen, but you can operate any on-screen control on any app that way. I'm a little doubtful of a generic button-based remote though because that requires that the same button can work the same way with different apps on the tablet, e.g. that you can program a "play/pause" button that works with any video app, which isn't obviously possible (generic TV remotes are different because TVs have a limited set of functions and are designed so that those can be remote controlled. But a media app on a tablet is designed to be controlled via its own on-screen buttons, and so it's not so obvious to me that what you want will be doable).

Yeah, touchscreens in cars are a dumb idea from an ergonomic/usability point of view (just as is removing the instruments in front of the driver and putting all information on the screen in the middle of the dashboard, so that even checking your speed requires taking your eyes off the road for longer). But they are almost certainly cheaper for the manufacturer than mechanical buttons with their own electrical connections, and I'm sure that's the primary reason many manufacturers are trying to get people to accept them.

Suspicious notifications

It's version V8.2.0.8.0295.0
As far as I can tell it's the one that comes pre installed on the phone.
I can't even recall now why it caught my attention, but it continues to randomly ask for permissions- call logs, contacts and sms- which I deny and still no notification saying contacts imported successfully and phone functions don't seem to affected
