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
Nvm, I got it solved. Resolved.

Is it possible to get rid of or hide the favourite friends page when I move my TF3D slider to contacts? Everytime I want to call someone I have to click 'show all contacts' on the contacts tab. It would be so much easier if it can just go onto my contact list straight away.
Thanks
Hi,
Although not answering your question directly, did you know you can start typing the name of the person you want in the dialler and it will drill down the list of contacts until you get to the one you want. It also works if you start putting the numbers in. Very clever.

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?

Yeah, would love to know this as well!
Thanks!

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.

The Title pretty much sums it up.
Contacts in my Google Account end up "joining" together so that I cannot find that contact on my phone at all.
Going to Gmail shows all contacts fine.
Typing in the phone number of a contact and dialing will show the "Joined contact's " name. Then I can go in and Menu>>Edit>>Separate...
How can I stop it from happening in the first place?
Most recent ones I've noticed are Al and Alex joining...
Also, my best friend (his full name is the contact) and his parents (who I just have listed by their last name)
There are more that I haven't found yet- but I just want to stop this from happening all together.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Hi all,
I'm writing a program that imports our contacts into the Contacts db on the phone so they show up in the Contacts app, are available for caller id to draw from, etc. I've got it working the way we want on the emulator and the Motorola Droid. When I go to Menu --> View, I can see our application with a check box next to it, and when it's checked, our contacts show up fine.
However, when I try the same thing on the HTC Evo, the contacts don't show up in People, and I don't have our application listed in the View menu. The contacts show up when I do a search within People, and when the contact calls the phone, their contact info shows up fine.
The contacts I'm testing our application with aren't in the phone already ;-) They're special test cases with unique names; that's how I'm able to determine they are actually coming from our app.
I sort of get the feeling this is a HTC Sense issue, but I don't have a way to confirm that right now. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
Well, if you look at the third People Widget when you're trying to pick it, you see that the contacts are linked to Facebook. I understand how to do that, but when I do that, it changes their name to their Facebook name, instead of what I have under my Contacts.
For Example, my gf. Her name is *Jessica XXXXX*. In my contacts, I named her Babe. Once, I link her to fb to her contact her name now displays as "Jessica XXXXX*
How can I just link my friends to their facebook's, but still keep the name I gave them in My Contacts?
Thanks for any help!
Don't think you can, or if you can I don't know!
