[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zincsnow:
i tried the following:

1. back up

2. delete whatsapp

3. download from whatsapp.com

4. installed whatsapp

5. restart phone

6. activate whatsapp

but the number still shows as duplicates.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikep2323:
I had that problem also but because of another app, you need to not sync the app with your contacts. I was able to unsync the contacts from my app. Try going into settings, accounts and see if you can set it to not sync or maybe in the app unsync your contacts.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GZA1337:
I don't have this whatsapp contact sync problem, but i had duplicate contacts. Did you try to "merge contacts" from the menu in the contacts app? For me this worked
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zincsnow:
the problem is that contacts don't show the duplicate numbers, it's just from whatsapp/other app that is giving this problem.

I have the same problem on my Galaxy s6... Any fix?

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freshou:
Hello I have the exact same problem. But a lot of people that have the S6 (95%) doesn't have this issue.

Maybe we have a contact problem in our Google account?

I'm thinking of deleting and retyping all of them bit it's annoying...

Should I give a try? I need WhatsApp so much but this double number issue is very frustrating at the same time....
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bathyon:
Okey, so I had the exact same problem and I think I might have found a way to fix this. The problem is it's contact by contact and not bulk.

1. Go to your contacts in your S6. Search for a contact that you know have duplicate numbers in the dialer.

2. You will now see that there is just one number added to the contact.

3. Click the "show more" link in the bottom of the contact card (above your recent activity)

4. This expanded view now shows you more contact info. Look for the "Connected by" field with a link symbol on the right.

5. This field will show you what services link contact info to this contact. Click it and press the "-" by the connected app to split it from this contact.

6. Now if you search for this contact again you will find two contacts. The original one and the one you just broke free.

7. Click the unwanted one and press "more" in the top right and select "delete". It will warn you that you cant delete read only stuff but proceed anyway.

8. Voila! Now you don't have duplicate numbers in your dialer.

As I said this is a bit tedious, but it works. I have done it to my most frequent contacts and thats good enough for now. There is an option in the contact app where you can choose what sources to show in your contacts but that doesn't seem to work or doesn't apply to the dialer.

Hope this helps

Thanks for the help Bathyon I'll try this when I get back from work!!! I'll let you know.

This problem is not restricted to only the S6. I have the exact same problem on my Galaxy S4 mini Duos

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freshou:
Working ! ! ! ! Thank you very much ! You're a hero ! WhatsApp settings doesn't ask you if you want or not the app to mix up with your Google contacts. You found the solution to "separate" them without having twice the same contact anymore !

Thanks again !
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bathyon:
Glad I could help. It was driving me mad so I'm as happy as you are :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orb2k:
I don't think it's the proper solution. The apps need to fix the problem. I'm having the same problem on S5 too
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kapitein187:
Also having this problem. With the latest Whatsapp Beta. I will try seperating them.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antisthenes:
For those who are still annoyed by this problem, I've found a more elegant solution - yet still somewhat of a hack. Unfortunately, root is required until marshmallow hits our devices:

1) Uninstall Whatsapp from your device

2) Install "App Ops" by nowsky from the Play Store

3) Reinstall Whatsapp (but do not yet open it)

4) Open up App Ops

5) Scroll down to Whatsapp in any of the categories (e.g. location)

6) Press on Whatsapp and untick its ability to "modify contacts"

7) Open and configure Whatsapp normally

Henceforth, Whatsapp won't be able to create duplicate numbers or entries. This solution does not seem to have any detrimental effect on Whatsapp itself. All Whatsapp capable contacts are properly displayed, there are no error messages and what have you. :D
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricarp:
Thanks, It Worked, very fast, Just people remember to do a backup first. Please let me know when Whatsap solve that issue.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matchev:
I have the same problem with my Xperia Z5 compact. It's annoying, they are not only doubled, but three times sometimes (one for each account, Gmail, Exchange and Whatsapp).

It's really related to linked contacts.

For non-rooted devices, and people who don't want to delete a contact (see above) :

An other option is to unlink all your contacts (contact after contact), and then go to Contacts app -> filter -> and select only your main account (Exchange for me). Then, back in the dialer, you'll see that you only see your main account when you type a name...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Antisthenes:
Did you confirm that this works on Samsung devices? That was one of the first things I tried, but filters in the contacts app did not get applied in the dialer, then. Maybe Samsung changed this in the meantime?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matchev:
Sorry I can't confirm for Samsung... but try with one contact and you'll see
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Melodylion:
What seems to work for me is open the contact app, go to settings and change the "contacts to display" to my Gmail account. Then it seems I don't have to chose...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GZA1337:
Thank you very much!! Works for me on SGS6
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deogana:
duplicate numbers in dialer resolved

Found a solution. but before doing anything take a backup of your contacts. Download ZenUI dialer and contacts from playstore. launch app and go to contacts tab. click 3 dots next to contacts to display. go to manage contacts. then select linked contacts. the app will show all your linked contacts with whatsapp. select unlink all.

close app.

go to inbuilt contacts app for samsung. select more. go to settings. under contacts to display, select whatsapp. now your device will show only whatsapp contacts that are separated from phone contacts.

select all.....delete.

Voila! now you have only phone book contacts on your Samsung and duplicate numbers will not show on the device dialer.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dls.jay05:
Solution found

This worked for me and I suppose this will even work for most of others. I use Lenovo vibe x3 and I had same problem though I had single and proper contacts in phone book, but duplicate contacts seen in dialer while using T9 keyboard to search through contacts.

Firstly turn off internet and go to your phone book and under contacts to display select WhatsApp, now all contacts of WhatsApp will be displayed. Select all and delete them. Now again go to contacts to display and select "All contacts". You now have to take back up of these contacts after those WhatsApp contacts are deleted. These backup will be restored at the end of the procedure.

In my phone under setting I see "Permission control" which helps us to decide if or not any app is permitted to use a particular service of our phone. I hope most of Android users have this functionality in phone.

While installing WhatsApp, it anonymously takes most of permission which also includes one of the following called "write/modify/delete contacts". I disabled the option to "write/modify/delete contacts". Deleted all contacts from phone and imported it back. I already had a backup file of my contacts. If you delete your contacts make sure you take a back up before doing so. Make sure you don't alter any other permission, and you won't be able to save any contact from WhatsApp directly, you need to explicitly move to phone book app and save it manually. :D

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] beaverHausen:
Hi

Bought a new P600 last week. Had time for a quick play whilst it was downloading updates.

After update I don't have the weather widget, can't find it if I try to create a shortcut/widget on desktop.

I have rooted it now but not installed a recovery, staying with stock rom.

If I factory reset, will I lose root and will it affect knoX?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] beaverHausen:
OK so, I've reset the tablet and discovered that it's Nova launcher that removes Samsung signed apps including the Accuweather widget.

Is there a way around this anyone know?

I am currently getting bored with my Hermes, I have flashed about 10 Roms in the past few months and I have followed the herd on almost every customized look we can come up with (Black, Custel, iphone lookalike, kaiser lookalike) you name it.

SO I thought I would reach out and see what other people are using their Hermes for. First and foremost I use mine as a phone. Anyone else? I also use Tomtom for Nav and orb for music and videos. Once and a while I stream XM too because I have an account. But thts about it.

I would love to hear about what else I can do and what other people think the best thing they have found on the Hermes is. I'm curious to see how crazy it can get.

when I'm bored I use it to mess around with other people's phones and pc's,

funny how so many people leave their bluetooth on nowadays on both phones and laptops :P

I also use it to surf the net in classes (no laptop policy)

anyone else \(o_O)/?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] dtx:
Orb is awesome (I was watching Anchorman on my commute home this evening), also I use my Hermes mostly for work, so tons of email (100 a day or so), attachment viewing\editing). TomTom is a life saver, as is GoogleMaps (saves me lots of 411 charges). Besides that day to day stuff, playing with ROMs and using it to wow friends and co-workers ("I forgot my ethernet cable! how am I supposed to get online now?!"..."Oh, please... allow me" along with a million other examples), wardriving, camera, mp3 player etc.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Psiodon:
When I am bored I use the cameras three shot panorama mode to do funny things like getting a friend to do different poses in each of the three shots when the photo is finished its pretty cool. Seeing the same person three times in the same shot doing different things can pretty funny and if you have an imagination you can do some wicked stuff, ill have to look around for some of my shots and post them.

I know it is stupid, but I find it cool to run old games using ScummVM. Friends are amazed when they see (and hear) Monkey Island or DOTT on this device. (for the same reason, I have DOOM on my Nokia phone :))

The Pebbles application (bluetooth remote control) is fun to play around with, as it offers a great deal of controllers (touchpad, scrollwheel, ...). But I haven't got round to making a proper interface for the softwares I use (at the moment, I prefer to use Puppetmaster on my Nokia to control my laptop, is this also displays data from the application on the mobile screen).

From a technological point of view, the internet sharing via bluetooth is IMO one of the coolest features of the device.

Of course, being able to view movies or get some work done on a plane is great too. And then there is PocketFMS: connect the TyTN to a bt gps, and you get a moving map flight management system (yep, for general aviation!); which can be combined with weather data!

It is a cool device... but could be more stable at times.

I have a bluetooth to serial device, which means I can run terminal connections over bluetooth.. so I can use it to configure routers etc.. just plug the dongle into a serial port.. connect via the phone and there's no need to carry round a laptop for that anymore.

I also use it as a phone and pda of course for those things.. For a normal day it can practically replace my laptop for dealing with both windows and *nix machines.. Pretty good if you ask me.

If you really are that bored of it send me it I can put it to good use ;)

(oh yeah and I play scummVM on it too ;) )
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] V J:
My I ask what kind of bt-serial device? Does it have its own battery, or does it draw power from the serial port?

I have no experience with such devices, but the reason I'm asking is that I wonder if it is possible to connect a bluetooth GPS to a Nikon D200 (this has a serial port for a GPS, to allow for coordinates to be embedded in the exif header). Of course, a setup like this is not supported (I mailed Nikon with this question), but they didn't say it wouldn't work (they hadn't thought of this).

Thanks!

The Slingbox player is always nice to have when there is time to kill.

The "coolest" (geekyest) thing I've done is use it to control my irrigation system. I have several Insteon home automation devices installed and when I needed to check all the different irrigation zone sprinklers, I just used the phone to remote in to the host PC and turn on/off each area while I walked around the yard and made adjustments. I could also use the same process to control all the lighting in the house as well.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sambartle:
Its one of these (I actually got it cheaper than this - from the manufacturer who also sells them on ebay himself but has none on there at the minute), expansys also do them

It's powered via a USB cable.. But i have a solar charging unit that outputs via USB and works fine with it.. so i dont need usb to use it.. does the nikon proivde 5v on any ports as that would probably work.. (maybe even the usb port if it has one and supports weird configs (not just to connect it to a pc as that wont suply voltage))

I have no idea if it will connect a bluetooth gps to a camera.. the closest i can try is linking it to my bluetooth gps and seeing if nmea flows to the serial port.. ill give it as go for you this week.

depends whats connected to the windows box .. or what software its running.. or what its purpose is.. (i work in telecommunications)

On a desktop theres probably not much point, but theres switches, analysers, ATM's all sorts of industrial windows installations that all have serial diiagnostics and terminals..

on a *nix box its pretty much the same deal.. if its running a serial terminal i can connect to it with mToken or Mobile Putty.. theres hundreds of different bits of serial kit you can connect too.. serial is serial doesnt matter that its sent via bluetooth to the PPC.

Works on routers and all kinds of switching gear.. it's absolutly invaluable to me!!

Wuh?

Methinks you didn't read his reply all that thoroughly.

Routers, at least enterprise class routers have serial managmenet ports - hence him specifically mentioning serial in the same sentence as routers and nothing else.

I'm not even sure I know what you're trying to say regarding VT100 support - which is just one of many types of terminal emulation (based on the old DEC VT100 video terminal). Windows itself doesn't provide out-of-band management compatible with textual terminals, but many servers *do* have serial out-of-band facilities which can in turn talk to Windows running on said server...think lights out managmement. Most Sun servers have serial access to both the PROM and running OS, and you can redirect a serial port to a console in Linux.

I'm betting that when the OP mentioned managing Winders boxen with his Hermes he was thinking RDP.

But you knew all that I'm sure. =)

I'm a musician - I use it as a guitar tuner (PhoneTuner), I have a spectrum analyzer (HASA) for finding feedback frequencies when doing sound checks, I use it to record songs I'm working on with an MP3 recorder(AudioNotes), to record lyrics (Word, Notes, or even putting lyrics into a Task item so it will sync over the air with Outlook). I use ORB for streaming media from my server while on the road. I use the LED light as a flashlight mapped to the push and hold button with VJCandela. I use it as a timer for Texas Hold 'em poker to decide when to double the blind (SPB Time). I have an english dictionary, and a spanish-english dictionary on it.

i really like the stock camera. And bec of it i am coming back to stock rom from cm12.1, i really like cm12.1 Rom. i am sometime go for it but come back to stock rom because of camera. Tried alots of cameras some are mentioned here. Which are good but i kinda of not satisfied with them :(. i wish sometime in future Stock camera come to cm.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Themes and Apps] RuffBuster:
Will never happen. As source for this has never been released by Samsung. Has been this way for ALL custom ROMs since ever. The camera is the main reason I keep going back to stock. Focus is horrible on pretty much all custom ROMs. But because of major security flaws in stock OS I'll be switching back to CM.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Themes and Apps] Chamelleon:
Maybe auto focus is terrible but manual is damn good for macros. I used to make macros of smartphone motherboards, mostly after water damage to show clients that they phones wasn't stop working just by themselves. I can tell You on stock pictures from my phone was a lot worse than my coworker iPhone 5 and now they are a lot sharper and brighter than on his iPhone. I never tested outside photos on CM but I think it's only matter to feel manual focus.
