G+_David Herron Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Can someone help me with the mysterious "People" app? I have a 1st gen Moto X. I keep all my contacts in Google and actively keep it free of duplicates. I also have the People app set to only display my Google contacts, so there are no duplicates if I'm just scrolling through. It's only when I search for a name that 5 or more entries for the same name show up. All but one of them have no information in the listing other than the name. Where are those entries coming from?

G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Do you have Waze installed? If so, there is a known issue in that there are duplicate entries for contacts. For some reason, the People (now Contacts...again) app can't combine them with the "real" contact. The reason they only show up when you search is because search includes all synced contacts, not just the ones being displayed. :-/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Corey Fields Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 I do have Waze installed and hadn't heard of this. But can that one app really cause all those duplicates? I searched for one this morning and she came up 6 times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Walt Woo Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 If you select one of the contacts and the try to edit it, it should show the origin of the contact (google, corporate email, etc.,). You can also go into the general settings for the app and turn off sources of contacts you don't want to diaplay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
