Help Contact List Duplicates

[bp08]

Hey guys. So right now I have Gmail and Twitter contacts in my contact list. My Gmail list has like 900 contacts with so many repeated names. (I probably only have 60 total)

Does anyone else have a problem with this? How can I get rid of duplicates? It is rather annoying have 9 contacts of the same person.

I had this happen with several of my contacts where Google, Phone #, etc were disjoint... just went through the "People" app, went to one that was duplicated, went to "Edit" then "Join" and linked them with the other accounts.

Alright I guess that is the only solution. I have a ridiculous amount of duplicates for some unknown reason, and it would probably take hours to get rid of them, so I may just have to do that.

I've heard that Google Contacts will search and join duplicates on the web. I don't think it will help with your Twitter contacts, but should help reduce the duplication in Gmail.

I've had the same problem with hotmail/twitter. I tried going into the account settings and selected not to synch contacts. However, it still does it. Only way I got rid of it was to remove the twitter app and my hotmail account. Pain in the ass really. I'm probably missing something easier, but has anyone else found out to disable twitter/hotmail contact synchs?

I have the same problem. But this occurred in Verizon backup manager.
