Hi all,
I have a strange sync problem with my HTC Trophy. I have normal contacts and facebook contacts. In the people options menu
I checked the "only add facebook information to existing contacts" box.
But when I want to send a text message to someone my facebook contacts are still in the "choose a contact" menu.
To make it even weirder only some facebook contacts appear.
And yes you can't delete them manually from that menu.
Anyone has a solution ?
I am having the same problem. i reset my phone and everything just in case, and that didnt fix it.

What is up the the list of contacts when using the phone or messaging? I can manage under Contacts|settings|view exactly what contacts I want to see; however, when using the phone or messaging, the Sensation presents EVERY contact without a way to adjust. In my situation I use Exchange Activesync to gather my work emails, and despite unchecking sync contacts, they all show up in my phone list.......who the heck wants to sort through a thousand contacts to make a phone call. Thoughts or ideas?
I have some similar problem. I sync with both Exchange Activesync and Google/Gmail and some of my contacts have an entry in both. In my lists of contacts they're perfectly coupled and reduced to one entry, but in the messaging app the contacts show up double again.
I already had contact with HTC Benelux, but their first 'solution' was to remove one of the entries manually. But that's no option for me. I replied to them, but they have not reacted yet.
Strange thing is with the mail app everything is ok.

To get rid of this in messaging, there are 3 options you need to turn off.
Go to messaging.... settings... general... and turn off "Show sent message history", "Show call history" and "show email address". Or a combination of the three if you'd like.
In contacts, you should check the option in settings that says "Only with phone number". As long as your email contacts don't have phone numbers, they won't show up in the contacts list.
I hope I'm understanding your issues and that this information helps.
Hey guys, so i have a problem. I know that in the contacts I can hide all the repeated contacts, meaning the duplicates that show up from google, and t-mobile, and the ones on the SIM card. I have all my contacts linked thro HTC facebook. But when I go to the dialer or to send message it shows all my contacts, so some people show up 4 times!
Is there anyway to hide all the duplicate contacts in dialer and MMS, and secondly, when I receive a message from someone it shows their SIM contact which has no picture and their name as I put it in, and not as it has been "linked"
Thanks in advance!
I am on the same boat. Its annoying cause I only want the Google contacts. Mines has both synced T-Mobile backup and Google. Gonna reset the phone and remove the T-Mobile app before I sync anything and get back to u

I had this problem and it was unbelievably frustrating when I first got this and after a few days of searching and banging my head against the wall, I found something that worked.
This is how you solve it (or how I solved mine).
1: Sync everything to Google. Edit the contact list in google (use the automatic duplicate deletion), delete useless contacts etc.
2. Remove contacts from EVERYWHERE. Sim card, phone, uncheck google sync. Your phone should then be completely empty for contacts.
3. Re-sync with google contacts. if you want you can copy it back to the SIM and you shouldn't get doubles. I think I just left it with google only but the end result is I don't have 9 different "danny's" show up when I go to compose new message because I know three of them.
Ok great, I'll try that out.. When they gave me my phone, I told the employee at the store that I didn't want the tmobile contacts, and yet, she still set it up. I hope they fix these silly thongs with the update
Try this
I had the same problem, shows same contact more then 1 time. i resolved it this way
1) Go to Contacts (App)
2) Press Menu button (2nd touch button from left)
3) Select View
4) Now select (Check Mark) the contact you want to see. in my case i unchecked all option but Google and Facebook for HTC
5) Select done.
now it will only shows single entry for each contact
Thanks
Somehow I lost all my contacts today. No big deal, I don't talk to THAT many people and can just get their numbers again. However, I decided to sync my facebook contacts. I noticed something weird. With the contacts that were imported using Facebook, when I go to text that number I cannot search for the name. It will not auto populate in the "Name" box of the text message. Numbers that I manually add to my contact list work just fine. Also, my contacts are not keeping their Facebook profile picture in text messages. In the call log its fine. Anyone experience this?
1. You shoulda synced them over google contacts...
2. Delete/wipe cache of facebook and reinstall it, see if that works (reboot inbetween)
Hello,
i sync my contacts via a Exchange Account. Contacts on Google are disabled completely. If i go now to S-Planer, enable "My Calendars", i could enable afterwards "Birthdays of my Contacts". If i do this, i see all Birthdays twice in S-Planer. If i disable "Birthdays of my Contacts" i get no Birthdays in S-Planer. Is there a way to see only one entry or do i something wrong?
Hey guys, I'm not able to find suggested contacts from where I have written prior emails, whether on the contacts or phone app. Any ideas? Thanks,
update
I've done a little troubleshooting and it seems that only the label "Other Contacts" in Gmail does not show up, as those are suggested contacts from every email message I've ever typed out. I still have not found a way to copy those suggestions over so that they will appear when I type emails on my phone, but I can select some of those and transfer them to normal contacts, in which case they will show up even without a phone number.
