Anyone know if there is a way to do this?
I have 7500+ contacts both for business and my personal contacts.
I need all of them but only use specific groups on a regular basis. Is there a way to sync all the contacts but only show lets say Family, Friends groups in the contact list.
But when you tap menu > search and search for a specific name itll search through all of them and show the results? In other words hide specific groups but still sync them.
If this is in the wrong section please forgive me.. Its a general question and not device specific which is why i posted here.
Have you tried going to contacts...hit menu...then hit display options? I'm pretty sure it's the same as 2.1
If you have an Android phone from HTC with Sense, then what you request is standard functionality already in 2.1. You can tag your contacts, put them in respective groups (like family, business, vip) or even create your own ones.
The only problem I would see is the size of the contact storage with that amount of contacts. I have only about 450 contacts with minimal contact info, but the contact storage is already 13.7 MB.
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?

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.

sorry if this has been posted before hand, i couldnt find anything on it, so here it goes.
you kno how when you set facebook to text you notifications and you get a text message from a number like 3265007 then 3265008 etc.
is there a way to make a contact that has variable digits on the end? is there a way to trick the contacts list to assume that anything beginning with 3265 is from facebook? something like 3265%&#% or something to that nature so that when i do get a text from facebook it has a contact picture?
i know its a bit of a nit-picky subject but it'd be frack'n awesome if this was possible.
thanks ahead of time for taking the time to read my scatter-brained question, any info helps!
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.
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.
