Topic: Google Contacts

[Steve]

Is there a way to stop Gmail/Google from adding every single f'n person I email or who emails me to my contacts? Anytime I backup or restore my contacts to my phone I have to filter it to only show the ones I made. And searching through them online is a nightmare.

No (not that I'm aware of), I'm not a fan of how that is handled either.  I usually go through and clean mine out every 6 months or so.

It really is quite retarded. Thank god the phone can filter it.

I cleaned mine out, and saved "My Contacts". Now it adds nothing that I don't add to the my contacts, and automatically keeps it synced with my phone like before. I switched the email I used as my phones primary, and the impoirt from one google account to the other went smooth, no fluff or mess.

Might be something new since they changed gmail
