If you’ve synced up your Android phone to your Google Account, it probably added every address you’ve ever emailed to your Contact list. This results in a hugely overstuffed and bloated Contact book. But, if you have Android version 2.1 or higher, we can fix this quite easily and trim some weight off of that ole Contacts list of yours!
Personally I have thousands of email contacts in my Gmail address book, so when Android decided to display ALL of them; it just didn’t work out. I ended up seeing nothing but email addresses all the way down the Contacts list, and that made it very difficult to find a number of people I wanted to call.
To fix this all we have to do is change 1 setting, and then it will only display contacts that you have the phone number for. Let’s get to it!
Step 1
Open your Contacts app, this should come built-in for all Android phones.
Step 2
Tap the Menu (Settings) button on the outside of your phone, and then from the menu that appearsTap Display Options.
Step 3
In Display Options Tap the checkmark for Only contacts with phones. The checkmark should be green, you can now Tap Done.
Done!
Now you’ll only see contacts on your list that you have a phone number recorded for. Emailaddresses might still show up as contact, but only if you have a phone number connected to the address. As long as you have a first or last name entered for a contact, it will always take precedence of how the contact is displayed.
