Google Contacts? - Captivate General

Hello,
I am having an issue with my Captivate and SMS messages, I have a contact that I try to send a text message to from the contact list, originally the contact did not have an area code. I added the change and resynced my google contact list but now every time I try to send a message via the contact list, it shows up as just as the contact name and the number does not have the area code. Inadvertantly gets an error when sending a text message to it! What can I do to fix this issue?
Thank you,
Charlie

I suggest that you log on to Google on you PC and delete and then recreate the contact with the area code...Make sure you resync after you delete the contact and the resync after you recreate it.

Thanks for the reply did that 3x and just did it a 4th time now, still the same, oh well, I will live with it. What is funny if I go into messaging and do a new message then select the contact, works perfectly, but if I go off the contacts, it keeps reverting back.
Thank you,

In the contact list, tap and hold to get up the menu. Select 'Send Contact >' and choose your option from there.

TXT message suggested numbers not complete

Hi,
I have an issue when I try to send a txt message, when I type "T" in the "To" field looking for a friend of mines name "Tony" I get all the "Tony's" listed as suggestions except the one I am after.
I have deleted all the contacts, then synced with Outlook, that did not cure it. Then I deleted that particular contact, then re added it back manually checking every piece of info was in the correct format but it still does not appear as one of the suggestions.
I can get round this by tapping the "To" then selecting from the "Contacts" but I cannot understand why it does not offer the Tony I am after as a suggestion like all the other Tony's in my contacts.
Any ideas?

[Q] Voice actions working?

Anyone having problems with voice actions?
I cannot get:
Send email to...
Send text to...
Call...
function to work at all. The recipient is actually inside the message and not the send email to "..." part. Any way to fix this?
I am using Cognition 3.02.
It works but not very accurate and may require a few tries. Your contact need to be in your contact list (or maybe even Google Contact list). If it can't recognize your contact name, it will put in message body instead.

All of my contacts are synced via microsoft exchange. Should I transfer them to google?
Not sure. I have mine duplicated in Google Contacts anyway. Test it with a Google Contact and see what happens.

How are you even sending it in the first place? I couldn't even figure out how to initiate an invitation send.

Adding contacts from hangouts doesn't update name?

I got a text from a coworker who wasn't in my address book. I figured out how to add the contact from hangouts, but my phone isn't updating the name in the list of received messages, it still appears as if it is coming from a number not in my address book. Anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks.

Go into the "People" app and check to see if the number is there. If it is, make sure "Sync contacts" is on in Settings. If it isn't, add your coworker.
Should be good to go after that.
