Address Book: Delete Non-gMail Contacts Entries?

[PeteCress]

I finally caved in and copied all my contacts to gMail.

"Copied" and not the hoped-for "Moved" because my address book now shows two entries for each person: the original, and the one on gMail.Contacts.

Is there a way to batch-delete the old ones? Or is it going to be onesies-twosies - with emphasis on the first?

There's usually an option to select which contacts you allow the phone to display.

In such a case, you'd unselected the "phone" contacts


What device as we talking about?

If you are using a SIM card, the names and numbers are there, too.

I guess that's the workaround - but I'd prefer to get rid of them to avoid future confusion.

10.1" Samsung Note N8013.... and, if/when it gets back from warranty repair, an N7000.

Turn off display of Gmail contacts, select all then delete. Then turn on display of Gmail contacts.

That did it. Thanks.

Not necessarily. I've now had 2 GSM phones and neither has saved any contacts to the SIM unless I told it to.
