This doesn’t have anything to do with being a Dad, but I found a solution to something that was driving me crazy that I couldn’t find the answer to, so I figured I would post it.

This is for folks with an Android phone who are getting the error message: “Too Many Contacts Deletes”

This occurs when you try to delete a large number of contacts and then your phone tries to sync with your Gmail account. If you don’t do anything about it, it won’t go away.

Here’s the Fix
1. Make sure your contacts are still in your Google account.  You can see this by visiting http://www.google.com/contacts
2. On your Android phone > Go into Setting > Applications > Manage Applications > Contacts Storage
3. Inside contacts storage choose: Clear Data

That’s it, next time your phone tries to sync with Google it will repopulate your contacts with no annoying error message.
