i cant deal with this crap anymore. im going to go back to my touch if tech support cant get this sync/contacts issue worked out. love the hero but ive never ever ever had so much trouble with sync/contacts. i now have multiple duplicate emails in almost all my contacts. there are more then a few birthdays that are wrong now. and to top it all off now im getting duplicate and triplicate contacts!!! ive wiped the damn thing to factory settings about 7 times now and it still messes up. everything else works great tho.

Calm down you probably have tons of email addresses attached to your contacts is because gmail saves everyone you send/receive your emails from in your address book. This is how I dealt with it. I didn't sync my contacts from gmail only calendars/mail and I use HTC Sync and sync my contacts from Outlook (PC) hope this helps. Hero is great! you should keep it!

you are doing the same thing i have done over and over and over and over and over and over...i never sync with google contacts only calender and mail (when i want it)i only sync outlook contacts and i make sure my outlook is correct every time i sync but the phone has a mind of its own i guess cuz it puts what it wants in and changes things if it wants...and if it likes something a lot then i get up to 3 of them

ive also had a problem restarting mine when its o the usb cord. i have to pull the battery sometimes because its locked up.

I wouldn't go back to the Touch then.....that's a land I was in before and I won't be going back any time soon.

I agree with you that some issues are a little more irritating than others, especially when it affects the productivity aspects of the phone (Calendar showing events 1 day off, Clock not adjusting/adjusting the incorrect continent for DST, Contacts showing up 4 times...), but I truly believe that either your phone is defective, in which I would just return it for a new one, or a hot-fix patch will be coming soon.

What ever you choose though, good luck.

Have you tried going into people -> Groups tab, press menu and then tap sync groups and you can select which groups to sync there.

I don't have those issue's I would try a different phone first or look at the setting's. I sync contacts from Google.

I had this problem soo many times with winmo. My problem was always because I switched phones and outlook would triple my contacts. I am a firm believer that this is an outlook problem. My Gmail sync has not done this! When I had a touch and a TP I used dupededupe and it seemed to do the trick, but I completely quit syncing with outlook because of this!

I agree about using Google contact sync. You can import all your Outlook contacts to Google and all your contacts will sync w/o even syncing to your pc.

well i contacted sprint and they said that it sounds like my phone is faulty. they are sending me a new one. they said i have done all that they would have done to my phone so there was no questions asked and i should get my new one by tuesday.

gives me time to clean up my outlook from the crap the phone synced to it falsely.

Glad to know its working out for you.
