Hi Guys!
I am using the Elelinux_Special_Edition_2.2.1_Final updated 2010-12-13 on my HTC Hero. And I like it a lot! Many thanks! But I have some problem there:
I have just bought the launcherPro Plus. Trying it right now. I have a question though, the answer for which I cannot find myself. Please help!
I am struggling to find the contact groups! I have a lot of contacts and some of them I do not keep in my memory. For example I have a lot of contacts (which i would have put in the group "work"), the people whom I don't memorise because being a sound engineer I am working with these people once a month (sometimes more sometimes less). So, when I need to call one of these people, I would like to go to the "work" group of contacts and then there have a look at what I have and find the needed person there. Likewise I need some more groups which I will use the same way.
BUT...
I cannot find how to create a group! I know they exist because when I go to preferences (of my gmail account for example) there are things like: System group: Friends, System group: Family, etc.... But there is no tab in contacts screen. Also I don't find out how to assing an existing contact to a certain group.
Somebody knows how to do all that? Please help!
Thanks!

hey all~
so i know i'm still a newbie, and hope i'm just missing something here but i have an annoying problem with my contact list.
i'm on a non-rooted samsung captivate galaxy s. i have my contacts copied from my SIM card to my phone and i have contact sync turned OFF for my google account [i have tried with it turned on as well and have the same issue]
no matter what method i use to add a contact to a group, 9 times out of 10 they disappear. [with the exception of the favorite group]
i have tried adding straight from the group management, from the contact card, when creating a contact, when creating a contact group.
initially the contact will show up in the group, but within an hour they disappear.
i have tried using different contact managers, megroups etc and always have the same issue....any ideas or fixes? [i have text msg's i need to send weekly to different groups and it would be much easier to have them actually sorted in groups lol]
thanks

I've done some searching and I haven't seen anyone with a similar problem as I have.
I had a HTC Magic a couple of months back and some of the contacts were listed as favorites. I lost that phone and just bought Evo 3D and all my favorites were transferred to this phone, which is good. However, I wan't to remove some people from favorite and when I look at the contact it says "Groups: Favorites" and when I hit edit contacts and want to remove him from Favorites it says "Groups: None". If I add that same contact to let say, friends group it says "Friends" in the edit section but "Favorites, Friends" in the contact information. I've also checked Gmail contacts and he's not in the "starred in Android" section.
Does anyone know how I can remove this person as favorite?
Thank you.
bump. Please help

Sorry for replying to an year old post, but I was looking for this solution and I found it. So though to post, so that anybody else can use it.
If you are the owner of the group and delete it, another group member is randomly designated as the new owner of the group. Now the new owner can add you again as a group member. You cannot select a particular person to be owner of the group. This is done randomly.
There is a workaround possible for this as well. If your group is small, go to group info and delete every member from group (remember who you are kicking out) and leave only two members, yourself and the one going to be the new admin. Now, in the group info, click on "delete and exit the group". Don't worry, this will not delete the group (Don't know, why they have named it like that), because you are only leaving the group. Now the admin will shift randomly to any member (the only one remaining in the group :highfive: ). That's it. Ask the new admin to add everybody back in group including you.
If you are desperate enough you can even try it for a bigger group (anyways there is a max limit for group members, 30).
With your solution everyone is losing chat history except for new admin right?
You might as well the him to start a new group and add everyone.
What I did eventually was*:
Backup with Titanium.
Exit group.
Tell the randomly assigned admin to add me back.
Restore with Titanium.
For a while it seemed like I was admin too. I wonder if it is (was) another security bug in WhatsApp.
* ofcourse this doesn't solve the problem of being unable to choose a new admin.
We've switched to Hangouts, it's better.
What is the limit for Hangouts (chat only) without video.
Thanks.

Could you create group in your contacts ?
(I think there is a problem about that)
The stock Android contacts kinda sucks. You can do groups online on your PC but you cant see or use groups on the phone. You will have to use a 3rd party app on the phone. I like RocketDial myself. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=intelgeen.rocketdial.trail
You can do it

I made it work on my wife's phone. I was confused at first until research showed that Android dropped the familiar group contact maker in 5.0 where it worked so well in Kit Kat. I went to make a new contact and on the name section, I typed the first name, made a space then typed all of the other names I wanted in the group. They were all pre-existing contacts and they stacked up very nicely. Save the contact and when you go back to your contacts, you will see it listed. I had some worries about whether all parties in the group would see all responses from the others and it worked just fine. It has been a while and the phone is down now with a mysteriously cracked screen but I think that is pretty much how to do it. Good luck.
Hi,
I have no idea if this is even in the right forum as I am completely new.. but have a question with regards to Android and Whatsapp.
I operate a medical hospital whatsapp notification group which has become very popular and serves a vital purpose among emergency service personnel in my country. How this mainly works is I receive text messages from various hospital management groups, which is then manually copied and pasted into the created whatsapp group.
My question:
Is there perhaps an app which can be set to pick up text messages from specific cell numbers and then automatically forward these to the designated whatsapp group?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards
same Question. waiting your help guys

You might be able to do it with Tasker but that is about it. You won't find much help with what's app as not many people here openly use it or only use it for 1 or 2 people
Did you get an answer? I'm trying to set up a cardiac first responder group and meet the same facility. Thank you!
