yes, delete all the copy's of your contacts, and then save them.
but make sure to uncheck the auto sink, that way you wouldn't get anymore
duplicates

Hi Pedro,
Thanks for that explannation and advice! So in future, should I make
sure absolutely nothing is syncing? Is there any way to actually clear
out all those contacts, like from google and mobile life and all that,
and just have them save what I want? Kind of like starting over, I
mean.
As per your question, Chris, no, I'm not on facebook or anything. And
a good thing, too, or I'd probably have way more than twenty or so
duplicates of my contacts. And the weird part is, as I was going
through the duplicates, some of them were missing information, anyway.
So no need for those. lol
Dusty, I'm glad I'm not alone! lol Who needs to fix it, though?
Google? Or is this a samsung issue? Either way, I wish there was a way
you could choose which contacts to import instead of having everything
under the sun put them on your phone when you activate it and put in
your info. What a mess! lol
Thanks everyone.
Cheers,
Amanda

never thought of that, I thought it happened in my case because my
contacts were backed up to Google, tmobile mobilelife, and to samsung.

Hello, Amanda:
This has happened to me as well.
What I had to do is delete all duplicate’s, and then go to my phone’s
contact, and then hit my menu button, and then click on in-port,
export, and then hit enter on export to sd-card. That way you would
be able to save the current contact list.
I found out that this kept happening to me because on the account and
sink settings the auto sink was checked, and whenever I kept updating
information on one of my contacts, it just kept creating a new contact
for that person. So if you go to your account in-port, export
settings, uncheck the auto sink settings… and you should be ok, from
that point on.
Also keep in mind that if you keep the auto sink on, any applications
that have a contact list of their own, it would automatically sink
that contact list on to your phones contact list… which is a pain to
go through to delete that separate contact list.
HTH.
Good luck.
