Ok, so having a gmail account for the past, wow, years, since the beta tag was in the logo anyway, and with googles affinity to not lose anything, i have the best part of 1400 contacts... most of which i do not contact, but.
i also have groups set up, family, work, friends, spam, etc
and i have another group called android.
now when porting from my blackberry, i uploaded all my phone contacts to gmail, dumped them into a folder (called it android) and then had my phone synced to the android, about 250 numbers, emails etc.
now this is fine, until i get a new number, hit save and pow off it disappears. now i know why this happens, as the new number isn't assigned to a group and i will have to log into gmail, edit the contact and then it will sync back onto the phone... this isnt really functional.
so now i sync to all contacts, but with the number of contacts i have the phone contact list drops to an almost unusable rate as it mercilessness tries to sync every email address with people on facebook. now ive found the "show only contacts with phone numbers" bringing the contact list down to 700 or so, but still drags!
are there any tricks to solve both problems, apart from the concept of rooting through all my contact numbers and deleting them off the system?
