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
- Contacts Go EX Install applications through Android Market.
- 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.
- After completion of the backup> press the MENU button> click "Merge"> will appear three options, namely:
- Search by Name: find duplicate contacts by the same name
- Search by No.: Search for duplicate contacts based on the same phone number
- Search by Email: Search for duplicate contacts based on same email address
How to Remove Duplicate Contact on Android
For

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.
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.

Features dialpad
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. So
if the default dial pad or tablet Android phone in your possession is
felt rather slow response, then you can try to feature Dial Pad / Dialer
Contacts Go.
