How to Remove Duplicate Contact on Android

When buying a new Android phone, I immediately turn on the synchronization feature to synchronize Android handpone calendar, contacts and e-mail. After the synchronization process is complete, and I open the Contact / Phonebook, I see that the new list of phone numbers synchronized is quite a lot, reaching over 2000. 

I wonder why the number could be many times more than they should. Apparently it can happen due to synchronize my contacts stored in your Google account and also synchronize contacts stored on other services (eg Facebook account). As a result, many found duplicate contacts. There is the same name but have a phone number or email address is different, there is a number the same but have slightly different names, and there is also a good name and phone number the same. 


Go one application called Contacts EX is an alternative phone book application that I think is quite worth a try and was one of the best Android contacts app. For information, this application does not actually delete the duplicate contacts, but only merge (merge) two or more contacts you have in common, both have the same name, same phone number or email is the same. 


Actually there are other applications that can combine, and even delete the contacts automatically, but when we tried, this application can not work optimally. Therefore, EX Contacts Go application in our opinion is still better than the other applications, at least for now.

Here are the steps to remove / merge duplicate contacts Android
  1. Contacts Go EX Install applications through Android Market. 
  2. Before incorporating a contact, you should first contact the backup on SD card, just in case if something goes wrong. How: Go Contacts Enable applications EX> press the MENU button> click "Im-Export"> click Export to SD card.
  3. After completion of the backup> press the MENU button> click "Merge"> will appear three options, namely:
  4. Search by Name: find duplicate contacts by the same name
  5. Search by No.: Search for duplicate contacts based on the same phone number
  6. Search by Email: Search for duplicate contacts based on same email address

In addition, this application only has the ability to search for duplicate contacts, but to combine them can not be done automatically. So, you must press the button "merge" every time you want to merge multiple contacts into one contact.

Contacts Go applications EX also features a dial pad (keypad). This feature is normal, but when we try to suppress the response quite responsive when the phone number digits.
