Open Contacts > Filter. Select Show Only Contacts With Phone Number.

I believe apart from the feature of getting locked and not allowing me to access phone frequently and also option of not being able to view SIM Contacts. Looks like I found one more easter egg in my Yureka.
I don't have option to show only contacts with phone numbers.

I will have to thank these guys who developed this phone.

I have only the following options in the Contacts Settings
1. Sort by
2. Name format

Yes it doesn't have that option.. If you want to see only the contacts with numbers, then go to dialer app, then select the contacts tab from there..

Okay on the topic on Contacts, I have a doubt about Google Contacts Syncing..

Lets say I have 200 Contacts in my phone which is synced to *contacts.google.com as well. Now if i delete some contacts on my phone and sync it, will those deleted contacts restored on my phone or contacts deleted on contacts.google.com too ?? In other words which one acts as master and which one as slave?? And if delete contacts by mistake, how do i restore them ??

Do I need to install any dialer app or you are referring to the default dialer app. If you are referring to the inbuilt dialer app well in that case it doesn't work.
Heard I have to install an app called Simpler Contacts & Dialer.

Give a shot to that true caller dialer app.

Any app which shows the total call duration of the calls (incoming/outgoing/all) ? Default dialer of my phone lacks it.

contacts are never deleted, they are just hidden from your contacts. When you sync to a new device all your contacts will be synced.

So that means, the contacts I deleted should be in contacts.google.com right?? Guess what, its not there too.. I should inform you that the deleted contact i am referring isn't linked to any Social messaging app like whatsapp/skype/facebook etc

New to Android experience but wanted to know that how much percentage of battery does apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Messenger, Twitter and Skype consume when they work in the background? Also, apps to prolong the battery life?

Short answer for bold ones: Too much.

As for next question, root you phone and hibernate all user app using greenify.

If I root my phone, I lose the warranty, right?

Not necessarily..It depends on the manufacturer's policy. Micromax Yu, Xiomi and some offer warranty even if the phone is rooted. Others don't!!

Huh that is weird. I have deleted a few contacts and when I setup a new phone mist of them showed up. Might be the case with my social account integration.
