Many of you surely will have noticed that in your address book Android are unknown names and contacts that only have an email address. The reason is Gmail, or rather the automatic synchronization of address book to Gmail and Android. While perfect synchronization between phone and computer is good, the other Gmail has a default setting that allows you to store your recipients to forward your mail in a box called other contacts .
So if you receive an email from @ xx xx, it is automatically saved in the other contacts and thus synchronized with your smartphone. If this works for many may be convenient, for others it may extend considerably the phone book with names and email that you may not be useful. To solve the problem simply:
- Open Gmail, go to Settings panel
- In the tab " General ", change the option" Create contacts for auto-completion , "choosing" Add contact them myself . "
In this way the contacts are only stored if we want and not automatically upon receipt of an email. At this point to do a "clean", so you can proceed:
- From the book on-line GMail, delete existing contacts in the group other contacts
- Re-synchronize the contacts on the phone to delete them here
At this point you have only the phonebook contacts without real-mails from Gmail automatically saved. Before proceeding with this solution, however, we invite you to check that these particular contacts are important to you.
