contacts: Tons of duplicates with Update to 1.1.7.4 [answered]
asked 2015-07-19 15:57:26 +0300
After update, my contacts app shows many contacts duplicated to up to five copies. I sync two-ways to a google account, everything looks fine on that side. Calendar syncs fine on Jolla and Google. Deleting my Google account on Jolla would not help: The duped contacts remain: Do they live in local storage? How to clean that? (Maybe not a bug? I interrupted update as it took very very long, and maybe those dupes were not caused by updating at all)
If the contacts remain on your device after you've removed the account, that is a bug. When you say "I interrupted update" what do you mean?
I suggest you open Google Contacts in your webbrowser, and use the "remove duplicates" option they provide. It is likely that the contacts are duplicated server-side, at this point.

@Tanghus. Please convert your comment to a answer.
heubergen ( 2015-07-20 12:36:27 +0300 )editthanks, Tanghus. I reset my jolla now, but your suggestion is probably the solution. (these duplicates were not on my google account, but only on my phone. And when updating to 1.1.74, I removed the battery after 2 hours progress bar at 95%). thanks to all.
