i'm not sure which version of google contacts youre referring to, but my More menu doesnt have the option mentioned here. under More there is a Settings, but it only has Language, Country Code and Sort options. i still have no way to UnHide a Contact that i hid when i tried to Delete it, and got the message, "you cant delete a read-only contact. you can only hide it." like a dummy, i hid it! :( i'm trying to get rid of that contact due to corruption it caused, but now, cant find it. but when i try to use Google Listen to dial a contact with that name, it finds it, but cant dial b/c no # affiliated. yet i cant find it otherwise :( bummer :( any ideas, besides formatting my phone? of course, it'd still probably be a 'phantom' in my google account, and forever haunt me :( oh well. c'est la vie!
