Hello,
EPIM Android 5.7.4 does NOT see any contacts that are local and phone only contacts.
It sees only Google ID linked contacts and SIM contacts.
As a preference, I keep the list of contacts local on the phone and do not use Google sync for contacts.
(Google Contacts app provides a 'Phone' option for local non-sync'd contacts)
Is there anyway that the developers can make EPIM Android see ALL contacts on the phone , not just Google ID'd ones.
Good app otherwise but unusable, for me, due to this inability to see local contacts.
Thank you.

You can import your Phone contacts into Android EPIM by selecting the corresponding option form the menu.

As mentioned, EPIM does NOT provide any option for contacts not linked a Google ID.
So importing is not an possibility there.

Seems that the Phone contacts aren't accessible by EPIM somehow.. If you go to Settings->PC Sync, then tap on the "Synchronize contacts with" option, which choices will be shown?

Only the Google accounts are shown in the Sync options.
(as mentioned, all my contacts on the phone are saved in the 'Phone' account - and there no contacts saved in any of the Google accounts)

Yes, I understand that. The issue is like I previously mentioned - AEPIM cannot get access to your Phone account. While it works on other devices, will try to get our hands on that particular (or similar) Lenovo device to check the things out on it.
