How to delete multiple contacts in lollipop ? I have landed up importing my contacts a couple of times and i am now having a lot of duplicate contacts. Is deleting one by one the only option ? or is there any other way ?

see post #1714 :|

For multiple deletion,

Contacts -> 3 vertical dots (or menu button) -> delete -> select the ones you want to delete.

I did see that post and tried that method as well. But there is no such option in my mobile :(. If i click on the 3 dots menu, i can only delete the chosen contact. There is no option to choose multiple contacts. Have no idea as to how or why my contacts were imported around 5 odd times. I had to manually delete each contact one by one :(. Was an absolutely frustrating experience.

Login to your GMail Account in your PC, go to contacts, select and delete unwanted contacts.

Are you sure you aren't opening a contact and then trying to delete it instead of opening the contacts/people app and then doing as said before?

Yes, i am going to the contacts icon/app from the app tray. In the contacts, when i click on the 3dots/menu, i get the following 4 options - (1) Contacts to display (2) Import/Export (3) Accounts (4) Settings. There is no option to delete :cry: I have to click on each contact, only then delete option is available.

there is no multi select setting in contacts anymore (in both models). a third party contact app may help.

why don't you follow lywre's method. login though google, sync, delete contacts in PC, sync again. it is faster that way.

I'm getting these options

I am not getting the 'Delete' and 'Memory status' options :shock:. Going by Sam's reply, looks like he ain't getting it as well. Wondering how is it different for you.
In that case, there might be a few more differences in our lollipop versions :cry:

my moto g's performance has deteriorated since the L update..will a factory reset solve this?

and also is there a decent custom rom?

Try these animation settings in Developer Options.

Set Window Animation Scale, Transition Animation Scale, and Animation Duration scale to .5x

Guys I flashed the Asia retail version on my moto g 2013. The phone has gone slow. It has even started hanging. Anyone facing same issues?

so i am fed up of the really poor performance after the 5.0 update...

i am looking forward to flashing a custom rom,
so i am on 5.0.2(stock), how do i unlock the bootloader? and root? and do i need to flash cm11 to flash cm12?

i used to do flashing(on my s2) but moto g is much more complicated compared to s2.
xda is confusing as hell....

Download towelroot to root.

Then install rom manager for clockwork mod.

Download roms and flash via rom manager.

Much simple.
