ugh!! too many contacts!
its BOGGING down my phone!!
last night i went through and got rid of a TON of contacts - i went from ~2500 to inside of 1700
but.. when i checked on my phone how many contacts it was looking at (go to People, menu, view - it totalizes how many are in which category: Google, Phone, Exch Active Sync)
??
what happened with all my deleting?? didn't it take effect?? well, maybe by the morning it will be all synced up
nope! all 2600 there!!
so... i looked in my contacts in gmail - i have 1655 in "my contacts - and a LOT more in "all contacts"
now.. HOW do i get rid of all those extra contacts that i don't need??
also, there's no easy way to see what groups any given contact is a member of - you have to click on each one to look inside
i'm thnking i could do this... export (and save) everyone in "my contacts" - then DELETE "my contacts" --- whatever is left over is "all contacts"
then move those over to any particular group(s) that's appropriate - and delete the rest
in the end, re-import all of my contacts that i had originally taken out (my contacts)
can anyone else suggest a different way to do this??
