| Re: Galaxy Nexus Issue unwanted contact merging | Paul | 7/30/12 3:58 PM | I just tried to reproduce this behavior and couldn't. Can you provide me with some exact steps that will cause this to happen? Here's what I did: - Visit Gmail on my laptop - Switch to contacts view - Created two new contacts with different names but |
| Re: Galaxy Nexus Issue unwanted contact merging | americlima | 7/31/12 8:45 AM | Dear Paul Thank you for your reply an interest.

| Re: Galaxy Nexus Issue unwanted contact merging | Paul | 7/31/12 10:42 AM | I'm afraid I still haven't been able to trigger this problem with my own tests. Here's what I did: - Set up 2 new contacts with different names and the same email address. - Check them on my existing Galaxy Nexus -- the contacts aren't merged. - Chec |

| Re: Galaxy Nexus Issue unwanted contact merging | amh15 | 9/4/12 3:47 AM | I am now seeing this in a very weird setting. I have previously seen it where an email address was shared between two contacts and I managed to remedy this by pruning the contact addresses for each contact.

| Re: Galaxy Nexus Issue unwanted contact merging | dw65 | 10/18/12 12:51 PM | I have found the same problem, having just upgraded to jelly bean.

| Re: Galaxy Nexus Issue unwanted contact merging | Stuart D | 11/23/12 7:44 AM | I am experiencing the same problem. But it appears somewhat inconsistent.

| Re: Galaxy Nexus Issue unwanted contact merging | DonToolBag | 11/27/12 7:38 AM | Same issue is happening with me. Only people in the same households.
