I have had my Gmail address since 2005, and I have 3500 or so Contacts in there.
Most are Sellers on Amazon, Craigslist, and eBay that Gmail has decided need to be a part of my list of contacts.
There are also a lot of people in there I keep for historical reasons because I may need to contact them later at some point (I doubt it).
I got a Motorola Moto E2 a few weeks ago. Before getting this Android phone, I kept all of my contacts on my SIM card.
I was not able to see any of those contacts, and a quick online search was able to tell me how to merge my SIM contacts into the phone.
What that did, however, was merge all of those phone/SIM contacts with my Gmail contacts.
Now, my phone is a complete mess! A lot of the contacts it was not able to resolve, so whenever I try calling someone from my Contacts it seems to be trying to convert their email address into a phone number.
It took me a while to figure out what this phone was doing, but now I have literally thousands of messed up contacts on this phone.
Short of resetting the whole phone, is there a way to fix this?
Honestly, why would someone want their email contacts to show up when they are trying to make a phone call or a text?
Is the Android group working to create a fix for this, or is there a fix that is out there now?
