Display "Phone Contacts" only?

Can someone help me on this.
I have a Lumia 920 having upgraded from an N8.
I've transfered my contact from the N8 via contact transfer which then are shown as I want them in the phone book list.
Problem is, when I add email accounts, it syncs everyone in my email acounts to, people who I may of emailed as far back as 1999!!
As I have 4 different email addresses, i'm getting nearly 1000 contacts in my phone list as opposed to the 200 odd I need.
When I filter the contact list in email settings I lose alll the phone ones too.
I only want my old phone list to show.
Is there a way to do this that I've missed?

Ok folks I've tried the above, but when I do, all contacts disappear.
I have 2 hotmail.com addresses, 1 Yahoo.com and a Gmail.
When I go to Settings > Filter my contacts and filter, the contact list becomes empty and it opens up the 'History' which is then blank.
It only seems to work if I reset the phone and don't sign in with an email account.
I've already reset this phone twice so don't see why this occurs.
And, yes, I tried to search the forum before I did start the topic.

  • I have only loaded phone contacts in my new iPhone 5 and my email contacts only on my Macbook Pro with retina display contacts how can I keep them from changing my iPhone to email contacts only when I connect to iTunes please

    Since purchasing a new iPhone 5 and macbook pro with retina display I have decided to keep the iPhone 5 for phone contacts only, and the macbook for email contacts only .. Is there a way for me to keep these as they are recorded on each apple product when I sync with iTunes as it has changed my iPhone and put in email contacts and thus deleted iPhone phone contacts once when I syncd thanks appreciate any help

    To prevent your iPhone from automatically syncing when you plug it in, click on iTunes in the menu bar, then preferences, then "devices", then tick "prevent iPhones, iPad's and iPod's from syncing automatically".
    Plug it in, then on the iPhone sync summary screen, click "info" along the top.
    Make sure the "sync contacts" option is not ticked. as long as it's not ticked, then it won't sync with your mac's contacts but will still include them in backups.
    Also, if you use iCloud, make sure that the iPhone/mac are either not signed into the same account, or that "contacts" is not turned on for both of them

  • Adding phone contacts

    A few times, when I've added a phone contact, I couldn't find it in my phone contacts. I only found it when I switched to all contacts. When I switched back to phone contacts it wasn't there. I added the contact while was in the phone contact 'only' mode. How do I get it from 'all' to show up in the phone contact only list???

    yes of course, they've all been saved to a group "On my phone"
    now i did just change where they automatically save too, iCloud, instead of my phone.
    so now how i can i switch over all the contacts in the "On my phone" group to my icloud?

  • Display of Phone contacts while receiving call

    Hi, I am using BB Q5 with the latest BB10 version. I have  lot of contacts in my phone list who have a same name, I save them along with the company they work for and their designation in that company. However, whenever, i receive a call from one of these contacts, only their name is being displayed and not their company name and designation as in my previous BB phones. Can somebody help me resolve this issue? Thanks in advance

    Good suggestions above but let's all consider the obvious... Though the number may be new to you, someone else has most likely had that number before you and the person that's texting and calling is prolly trying to call or annoy the old owner of the number.
    A quick solution is to answer calls and reply to texts immediately to alert the people that you are the owner of the new number and that they now have the wrong number for whomever they are trying to contact. This will reduce people calling back the wrong number if that makes sense? After all, it's a new number for you so you shouldn't have any worries about answering unknown numbers and etc. until you get popular ha ha!
    Alternative is change the number but again, someday someone will call or text that has the wrong number. Unless your provider can guarantee you a fresh number from a fresh exchange batch.
    The police thing is over the top and being paranoid imo and is an insane big baby tactic. Don't have the cops laugh at you for such a silly thing that you can take measures to rectify on your own easily.
    Get your free mobile me account to track your phone in case of theft and I surely recommend gmail over any other email client for security when using the iphone.

  • How to show only phone contacts on Nokia 1650

    I bought Nokia 1650 yesterday and have been trying figure out how I can have only contacts in the phone memory to show in contact list view.
    Presently it shows both SIM and phone contacts. In my other phone I have opportunity of deciding on which one I want shown.
    Is this possible in this model?

    the interpretation of selection of memory is different in 1650. here the selection is applied to the new contacts which are saved in the phone book. if you have selected the phone memory and you are adding new contacts, those contacts will be saved in phone memory and not in sim memory. this selection of memory is no where related to display behaviour of phone book.

  • How do i display phone numbers from Contacts in large type?

    The phone numbers displayed in Contacts are difficult to read for old eyes.  How do I display them in a large font size so I can read them without glasses?  Is there a setting or an alternate app that can do that?

    The only thing that I know of is Settings -> General ->Accessability -> Zoom
    With that on, when you tap the screen twice using 3 fingers, the whole screen zooms.  I've tried the "Large Text" feature, but it does nothing to the phone numbers in contacts, just the text portions.

  • IPhone Only Displays 40 Contacts

    I recently upgrade to version 6.0 on my iPhone 4 (8GB) and now I seem to only have the ability to have 40 contacts, I re synced with my outlook but same thing, the phone would only display 40 contacts. I still have lots of space on my phone. Can someone please advise me on how to get more of my contacts to display in my contacts. Thanks

    How many contacts do you have in Outlook? Do you have them sorted into different groups? When you are in Contacts on the phone, can you see a button on the top left to choose groups?

  • I have 528 contacts on my phone, but only 290 on my Icloud how can i move the rest over from my phone to my Icloud nothing is working

    Go to Settings>iCloud, turn Contacts to Off, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted (they will still be in iCloud).
    Download the app My Contacts Backup to your phone.  Use this app to backup the remaining contacts on your phone (from your exchange account) as a vCard attachment to an email that you send to yourself.  Confirm that you have received the email on your phone.
    Go to Settings>iCloud and turn Contacts back to On.
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Account (in the Contacts section), set this to iCloud.  (This will cause new contacts added to your phone to be added to the iCloud account.)
    Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars...tap your exchange account and turn off contacts syncing (otherwise you will end up with duplicates on your phone).
    Open the My Contacts Backup email and tap the attachment to import the contacts from your exchange account back to your phone.  They will be added to iCloud and appear on icloud.com and any other devices syncing contacts with your account.

  • TS1702 i have erased my all phone contact list and then the message comes that it will be deleted with in an hour. but now my phone is not starting and only the apple logo appears on the screen. what should i do now..!

    That number is for an apple server in the UK that is used for iMessage activation.  A hidden SMS is snet to that number when you turn iMessage on and is used to verify your phone number.  I suggest you turn iMessage off.  In settings/phone turn on dial assist.  Check with your carrier to see if you can send an international SMS as you end that possibility to activate iMessage.  Rest your phone (Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).) then turn iMessage back on.

  • My iPhone 4s won't display my contact names in my message, although the number is still linked to the correct contact in my phone book

    My iPhone 4s won't display my contact names in my message, although the number is still linked to the correct contact in my phone book.
    Recently updated with iOS 5.1.1, I've read elsewhere about a possible bug associated with the update?

    Hello, Sue.Darby. 
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities. 
    I would recommend having your friend check to see if call and message blocking is enabled on their end.  Here is some information regarding that feature.

  • Limit contacts to phone numbers only

    Is there a way to limit the contacts list to phone numbers only instead of having it list people by phone and all of the email addresses that aren't associated with email addresses?

    Try adding a + in front of the country code.

  • Suddenly my phone has stopped displaying my contacts names when I receive a message from them and just a number appears instead?

    Suddenly my phone has stopped displaying my contacts names when I receive a message from them and just a number appears instead?

    This happened to me and I was baffled for a bit.  I went to my contact list and that contact (that was now a number) had disappeared.  Then, multiple contacts started disappearing.  Subsequently, they reappeared but in duplicate and sometimes triplicate.  I believe that it had something to do with iCloud sync.  I ended up removing the contacts (in settings) and then bringing them back in.  Everything seemed to work after that.

  • Keeping selected contacts only on the phone

    I have some contacts that I want ONLY on the phone - NOT synchronized with the Outlook server - I see how to mark Outlook contacts Private and not sync them, but how do I NOT sync some of the phone contacts to Outlook?  Thanks!

    I created a category on the Blackberry called Private, and marked a contact as private - I deleted the contact from my Outlook Contacts folder - the contact was deleted from the Blackberry - I think I'd also have to change the synch properties, but they don't seem too straightforward - any suggestions?  Thanks! 
    Once you have done that, create the contact on your BlackBerry and set it to "private". If I recall correctly, it should not be seen by the synchronization tool.
