Hi. I appear to have a bug in my x10 Mini address book (Eclair). Both apps I have (Contact Owner and Andrive) that allow me to pick a pre-defined contact from my address book get information from a different contact to the one I am picking. I have tried experimenting with different contacts and it would seem that there is a small subset of contacts that this picking method chooses instead of the one I want. I can force it to pick the contact I want by making a new one first but this is a pain because it is then a duplicate of one that exists. Any clues as to what is happening and how I can fix it?

Hi guys, my question might sound stupid as I'm new to windows mobile, but I can't seem to be able to find a way to insert more than 1 similar type of contact details under the same contact.
Say for eg I use 2 mobile numbers or 2 landline numbers, but when I try to save them under the same contact head I just get 1 option for each type of contact. Surprisingly I couldn't find any option to edit my own label as well. Any idea what could be done in this scenario???
Isn't there any solution to my question???
I face the same issue...
any suggestion?
Try put those numbers into other fields, such as "work2 tel", "home2 tel"... Some 3rd party softwares can do that but their fields are not compatible with MS Outlook on PC.
Well, thats not a solution, is it? Thats just ignoring an issue... I know I can save in other fields but if I try to transfer some contacts from my s60 where I have stored them properly then the 2nd entry gets deleted automatically, thats annoying & I dont even know how many of my contacts has already been messed up like that.... Pheww...!!!
Windows Mobile takes contacts as it is defined in MS Outlook. And by design Outlook takes only one contact Information. Theres no other solution.

Outlook supports 2 Business numbers, 2 Home numbers, 1 Mobile number plus a bunch of other numbers like Other and Company. Try adding your extra fields in Outlook and then sync to your phone, hopefully the extra numbers will appear in your contact record. Just use the drop-down selector in Outlook to pick the fields you want to view and fill them in.
Yeah that seems a good idea, will give that a try...
Hi,
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, feel free to move my topic.
On my Android phone (Motorola Milestone) I have several apps that integrate into Contacts: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, LastFM.
Android makes a good effort in merging the contacts automatically, or I can merge them manually. Some people compain about the automatic merge and I know about the bug reports, but for me it's good enough.
What bothers me however, is that I cannot set what type of contact has "priority". For example, I have a merged contact that consists of a Gmail contact (containing full name, address, phone, email), a Twitter contact (containing nickname, full name, profile pcture) and a Facebook contact (containg full name, phone, email, profile picture). In the Android contacts list this person may be shown as either with his full name or his nickname. It is completely random. I have not found a way to force this merged contact to be shown with full name. I just want an option to say "this person is called X, dammit".
Any ideas?
I'm sorry but... *bump* ?
same here.
It is driving me crazy.
Any solution?
Running Milestone 2.1
Yeah, would love to know this as well!
Thanks!

Would love to get a fix for this too!!

I'm now running Froyo on my Milestone, but I still haven't found a way to do this.
Yet another *bump*
I'm going to try something incredibly dirty: install the .apk of the HTC contacts app, because this allows to set the visible name.
Is there no app on the market that allows easy editing of contacts?
Anyone tried any apps and if so then why not post the app name and whether it was useful or otherwise. That could help everyone else trying to solve their contacts cloud issues.

Well I am an Android migrant as of last week and I am loving the overall experience, especially the large community of savvy developers.
Now regarding Sense and it's pesky contact book sync issues.
First issue is, I don't want any of my Google contacts syncing with my phonebook or any part of my phone for that matter as I don't maintain that address book. Second of all when I pull up the Phone application the entire list is populated with every one of my Facebook friends who has ever entered a contact number (including 1800suckmyballs).
I am looking for a solution to remedy this situation but also still be able to associate individual contacts with a Facebook profile. Anyone out there that knows the ins-and-outs of Sense better? Can you give me a hand?
Regards, Dom
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 have an issue where if I have more than 1 contact info for a person then in my sms it doesn't show the persons name, just the number. I cannot have another number for a person or an email assigned without this occurring. Facebook sync attaches email addresses to contacts, so therefor I cannot use facebook sync without this bug. I have attached a couple pictures to better show this. Any way to fix this?
I am using Android 4.0.4, HTC Sense 4.1
Maybe this is a "feature?" His name is up at the top of the window, and they're letting you know which number its' coming from.
Just use a different SMS client.
This is how it's designed. It's so you know what number it's coming from when the contact has more than one. Seems like that's useful.
