Help All Gmail Contacts

[bigpimpin]

Searched through the forums and couldn't find exactly what I need. I found the answer for a different phone but not for the Incredible. In my People under All it only shows all the contacts in my Gmail under My Contacts. When I go to send a text under the contacts it shows every person I have ever emailed. It does this under All Messages and SMS/MMS. How do I go about having only the people in My Contacts there? Probably a common questions, but just couldn't find the answer for the Incredible on here.

In contacts all hit enu and then hit View...You mayhave the box checked that says "Show auto Gmail contacts" Uncheck it...this may help. Play around with the options in here though

Going under the People>Menu>View I have 4 options:

-Only contacts with phone
- Google
- Show auto Google contacts
Phone

The only one I have checked is the Google and I get all contacts still. Next to Google is a number, it says (92), which I'm guessing is the number of contacts, but that number is higher then the number of people in My Contacts. Any other ideas?

I had this problem when composing text messages, too. It would still grab from the auto contacts, even though it wasn't displaying them in People. I followed these instructions, found here, and it resolved my issue.

Do this within Gmail, not on your phone.

Here is a simple workaround that gives us back the original "Suggested Contacts" group functionality so that we can delete and change auto-added contacts.

Just enter a blank space in the Contacts search box, (then hit return or press search) and this will produce a list of all your contacts SORTED by the group names. With the final group being Other Contacts, that is, all of the auto-added contacts that are in All Contacts but not yet in any other group.

This works brilliantly. You can use the control-key to select all the contacts you want to delete. I'm not sure why Google has not suggested this before. Believe me, I asked them several times. I just lucked out finding it today on another forum.
