I also made the foolish mistake of synchronizing my contacts, and I now have 3 or 4 of every contacts, there appears to be no way of accessing these contact lists either via the phone or the desktop or deleting them
I dont understand how its managed to get the contacts from my other email accounts, I only have one on my phone
I am going to assume that you're syncing with Google Sync. If your Gmail contacts are correct the I would suggest you delete all the contacts from your device and do a one way sync from Gmail to your device. Once that is done you can go back to 2-way syncing.
The easiest way to delete the contacts from your device is to use desktop manager.
If your using BIS with gmail contact list. and the duplicates have been put on your gmail account. Run merge online in your account.
Also go to address book and check what email addresses are being pushed with BIS sync. unchecking them and allowing it to sync, should clear things up.
Check to make sure you have not created a new "default" address book. Happened to me with Google sync. I just deleted the extra address books. Best way of checking this is to check Google. If everything is fine there, then you have extra address book(s) on your bb.
In phonebook options, there should be a "allow duplicate contacts" option, check that.
Hope it works.
By "check" I mean, see if its on, if it is, you could turn it off and see. Sorry, but I think its better to remove all ambiguity here!
Mate,
There is a software, i don't remember the name now, but if you can wait, i'll tell you a little bit later.
With that app you can open the backups made with Desktop Manager. You can clean your records and replace the backup file.
Maybe it's gonna work!
