Multiple repeated contacts
asked 2014-07-28 22:40:50 +0200
Hello,
I've been trying to avoid posting this problem since I didn't see anyone else with this, but it has come too far. I have hundreds of replicated contacts... By doing "contacts-tool list | sort -k 3" I've sorted that 4 contacts are the ones that are most replicated (like more than a hundred times each!).
I could delete then with a shell command that would get the ID after sorting them by name, etc etc etc, I'm familiar with Shell commands and pipes, but I'd like a solution, not a temporary fix.
Is anyone else having the same problem?!
Thanks in advance.
Edit: I found out that my tablet also has these replicated accounts (it didn't last time I checked), so it's confirmed to be replicating to the server. (however, I don't see more than 20 people on Gmail...)
Just for better understanding: do you sync contacts with multiple sources?

I've got a few duplicates (i.e. "×2") in my People app,
but: something that's more annoying is that there are up to four (i.e. "×4"; I think that's the largest value, but I haven't bothered to check closely) copies of numerous entries, if I go check over at the Gmail web version.
Strangely enough, it seems to have "settled", and I haven't bothered fixing it yet.
(I also have weird Calendar entries, local in my Jolla: they're not seen in my Google Calendar,

I haven't got around to look for / submit an entry for it.)

Someone else also had the issue, but I can't find the relevant thread again right now.

It syncs automatically for both Facebook and Google I think.
