Unlink Contacts - Captivate General

Sorry If this has been already asked. I searched everywhere and the responses didn't help.
Basically, my father and I have the same name, and my Samsung Captivate swears that we are the same person and decided to link the two contacts together.
I have searched in different forums and the answer is simple:
- Go to the contact
- Click on Menu>edit
- Click on Menu>unlink
However I have looked everywhere for that cute little "unlink" button with no success. I have even called the cops, but they tell me that my little button needs to be missing for at least 48 hours before they start searching.
Could you help me?

I hope this helps
1-open contacts
2- find you or your dads name
3-click on it
4- bottom of the screen should be "linked contacts"
5-click it
6-click on either one of the minus signs.

That worked!!!! Thanks!
It was not at the bottom of the screen but at the middle.

Nice
Glad I could finally help someone, I was even getting ready to take screen shots.

Speed Dial plugin on today screen

Does anyone know how to get the Voicemail | 1 icon off the today screen?
I want to keep the plugin on the today screen as I use the photo part of it for speed dial, but I want to get the voicemail one off. There was another one that I was able to delete, but it seems that palm wants us to keep the voicemail one on there if we use the speed dial feature. I go to setup and try to delete it, but it says it can not be deleted.
Thanks for the help/hack.
Start>Settings>Today>Items TAB (at bottom)> select speed dial>OPTIONS>select VM icon>MENU>DELETE
That's not what I asked. I know how to delete it completetly, but all i want to do is delete the voice mail icon not the whole speed dial option.
For someone who doesn't want to go out and find his/her own answers you could certainly be more friendly towards the people that are trying to help.

Obviously - you did not know the answer either. I was not trying to be antogonistic by any means. But I thought that the questions was fairly clear in stating that I did not want to delte the entire feature. Just the voicemail icon. And yes, I have researched this quite a bit and I can not find the answer to my question.
Don't wear your feelings on your sleeve man!

Yes you are right. Just change the label & shortcut key on the voicemail button. You can also link a contact with a photo so the ugly button does not show.
thanks for the tip!
Assign the Voicemail button to a contact with a picture. It moves it up to the picture row and gets around the "can't delete voicemail" problem.
awesome!

[FINALLY SOLVED!] Very annoying SMS bug in many different 6.1 ROMs

*There have been reports that this does not work on 6.5 roms. Please use at your own risk.*
Cab below!
It's discussed in this thread: HERE
Turns out its an issue with the htmlnote.dll file.
Thanks to all the help from everybody!
Cab replaces htmlnote.dll in the Windows directory with a friendlier one.
Both SMS and email work!
This has been a recent problem that's come up in many different threads but I still have yet to find a solution.
When selecting a message from the message tab in M2D the message is highlighted and you have to manually tap on the text box to start typing.
It's much easier to select the message and just start typing right away.
Is there a fix for this yet that I just can't find?

I've been looking as well, and I haven't come across anything.
Why you open this thread addition?
I've seen it within many different ROM's threads with no final answer or fix. I thought I'd try to collect it into one place since I know there are many different people with the same situation.
I have this bug to all of my roms and if you have this bug also if take from same contact more than 1 sms and you go to read it become "read it" only the final sms and the other 2 or 3 or more new sms from this contact stay "unread it" you must tap on sms to become "read it"
i searching for this bug if found something i will post it here..
also i have problem with power button issue
also perlyp have this 2 issue and chef of PDACorner..
I have the same problem. Also if I have an SMS thread open while receiving messages to the conversation. It does not mark them as "read" I have to open the conversation for each message received. If I have 4 SMS messages from the same number I should be able to open it once and have all messages marked as read in that conversation.
theres a temp fix for the unread sms issue. if u search for unread sms fix (i think thats what its called) ull find an exe that will fix that issue. u have to run it every time it happens but like i said its a temp fix. Ill post a link or the file when i get home.

thanks i found it. this site is great, filled with all kinds of info but sometimes it is hard to find.
**a side note the fix you suggested also fixed the original issue in this post.
why you so lazy
I think its just the problem with cooking process (you know blending sys and oem packages and stuff like that!). Some of the ROM's here do have that problem. Usually G's tend not to, but it all depends on the flavor of the day!

Loserskater, what app are you using for sms that this apply's to?
TW,
That fixed the SMS issue for me, however it seems to have broken e-mail. The read/unread icon doesn't display, and I can't open any e-mail or start a new message. Any ideas?

Funny you said that as i just checked and same here?
Please other peeps check your email amd see if it's broke, seems like even renaming htmlnote.dll to htmlnote.dllold so as the ROM recreates the file does not seem to fix it......
That's a shame, it got the SMS to work perfectly. Though I suppose that an annoyance with the SMS is better than completely broken e-mail. Seems like there must be a way to have both though.

[Q] Google maps - How to pinpoint, mark places, mark spots, mark locations?

i hope the administrator of this forum let post this thread, i ve seen many people wondering and asking so often about this topic, so thats why i decided to open this thread
.
Via Mobile: well, directly on your mobile, the only thing you can do is mark the location you want as "starred", just touch for 2 seconds on the spot or place you want to mark, it will load the address, when the address shows up, then tap on it, after that, look for a little "star" symbol located on the upper-right corner, tap it, and it will turn into yellow color (the bad thing about this is you cannot add a name or description for it)
.
Via computer: you can mark and save all the locations you want through google maps on your pc, just log in your google account, then go to google maps, look for the place you want to mark, when you find it, just click on "my maps", and after that, click on "create new map", when you click on "create new map", some buttons to mark that place will show up, choose the button with the "push pin" drawing, and get that "push pin" on the place you want, type the name of that place and a description, save it
after some seconds take your mobile, go to "maps", then go to "layers", now to "more layers", and finally click on "my maps", and viola, all the places you have marked via your computer will be there
on your pc also you can see the places you have marked as "starred" with your mobile in case you need them to mark them better with a "push pin" by using your pc

you will have to search for an adress, and when a marker on the map appears at this adress, tap the marker, then tap the icon in the right side that looks like a man in a suit. you will now enter Streetview at a point that is the nearest to the adress you entered
was searching everywhere for this, ud think google woulda made it more easier ot find
Great help.
That's what I was wondering about - how to add my own places on a map.
So the only way is to do it through a PC. Bleeeh...
Any one knows how we could mail to Google and ask them to add this feature into the mobile apps?
Do you know the service mail?
Thanks.

[Q] Need Help with Photo Contacts

Hi, I've read the manual and can't figure out how to put a pic with my contacts. My old Droid X and others was easy, menu>edit>photo. I've long pressed everything I could. When I get to "take photo or from gallery" it says "unable to save photo edits". I didn't even try to edit but touched on photo and got that message. Little circle spinning on pic, like trying to load. I hope it's not the phone, I've got less than 10 days to return it.
Any help for this phone will greatly be appreciated!

How are you storing your contacts? For me im using Google to back up my contacts and when i go to Contact list I choose a contact click on them and choose edit and i am able to add a photo.
Two threads for the same problem?
Oh my dear, open a third one, maybe this helps more.

Following change in policy whatsapp, How do I make sure that nothing will be shared ?

Device my previous, Jumped me a message when I came in to whatsapp..
And I ignored her all the time. Then a few days ago I moved to the new device my:
galaxy s7 edge... And when I put up the updates to whatsapp, And I walked in, and I registered, the app, I saw in Account Settings, That appears to me at V-sharing with Facebook!!!
So I removed the v, And then it completely disappeared. All the definition.

Is there a way to do it? (Please say yes )
Thank you

Open WhatsApp on your phone tap the action overflow button in the upper right corner and select Settings.
Select Account.
Tap the check mark to the right of Share my account info.
To disable the feature, tap Don't Share. You already did this so yep that's pretty much all you can do,your details won't be shared
