Anyone know how to stop this from happening? I've played around with the setting in my phone but can't find anyway to get rid of them. I really don't need to be scrolling through hundreds of random-ass G+ contacts to make a phone call lol
go into the People app, hit menu button then choose "contacts to display" or something like that and finally select only the contact sources you wish to see.
Done. Thanks.

How can I set it so, in messaging, it shows a picture of myself instead of a grey box? I have myself in the box as a contact, with a picture set, but it hasn't appeared.
I did it on my hd2, but I don't remember how I did it..
If you have your Facebook info syncing, it should filter from that. If you do not, save your phone number into your contacts and then assign a pic for it. When you send a text, it will pull your pic from your contacts.
Oh..I should have specified...I"m running CM7 nightly 12. Facebook is synced and, like I said, I have myself as a contact with a picture associated with it and its still not pulling the picture
Hmm I had that problem with CM7 too. Go into Settings > Call Settings > Additional Settings > My phone number.
I think by default that is blank. Put in your number in the same format you have it saved in your contact list as.
If you have already done that, there's nothing else I got for ya. Hopefully someone else knows.

This has been discussed before so many times :O search=
Just to be clear when you add your phone number save the contact "Me" in Phone and not in Google and add avatar it will stick. For other device like Nexus you have to save # in SIM as "Me" and then apply photo.
I did search..tried messaging and contact icon and saw nothing related to the issue in the results.
I have sync Facebook for HTC sense. So far is good i like having pictures on my contacts. The only thing is when i press phone to call someone it pulls the phone numbers from a long list of facebook friends. I dont want to pocket call anyone that i havent seen in a lot time. I know i can delete my facebook htc account but is there another way? Thanks
Hit the menu button in the contacts list. Then choose display options. You can turn it off there.
So i havn't seen anyone else complaining about this yet but it must drive someone insane or im just way too OCD.
As seen below, when you open the dialer you are presented with Keypad/Recent/Favorites/Contacts, in that order.
When you press on Contacts, Recent is replaced by Groups (i dont like it but ok-whatever), my biggest issue is that Favorites and Contacts swap places, to me this is just insane.
As a side note, for me going from dialer to contacts takes a long time to load, i'd say about 1.5 seconds, i do have a few hundred contacts but this is also the first time ive had this issue.
Thoughts or ideas?
lol, mine never changes.
Hmm, I never noticed until you pointed that out...
It is strange that favorites and contacts swap spots. I never really noticed, because I have a contacts link on one of my home screens and when I am in the dialer I dont bother going in to contacts, I just start typing the name I want.
Strange, but not a problem for me...
I just tried going into my contacts from the dialer and it did seem to pause for a second (I have 474 contacts), but I never really notice a pause going into contacts from the home screen directly.
I actually spent a couple hours the other day weeding out my contacts on Google (via GMal). Contacts I speak to frequently are starred. Anyone else I either start typing their name or directly reply to a text or such. I went to my contacts a few different times since reading this and nothing changed.
Mine changes, just like the OP. I hate it, especially since on Froyo I had a much cleaner dialer. What I miss the most is the ability to have the dialer stay on the screen when I make calls, meaning having the option before to have it show automatic in a call, vs having to open the dialer when actually in a phone call. I have searched everywhere I can find for the option to have the dialer always open when in a call, but cat find that option. Does anyone know how to make the dialer show for every phone call, without having to select it once the call has been started. ? Thanks in advance.

I agree having the dialer remain up is more intuitive to me
Hey all,
So I have more than 1 Google account on my Galaxy S3 with Jelly Bean 4.1.1 on Verizon. I also have a Facebook account. This is a weird thing that happens, it never happened before. Please see if this happens on your phone. Under Contacts To Display-->Customized List, I make sure only the tick marks for specific groups under 1 Google account is checked off, ALL OTHER accounts and groups within accounts are not checked off. If I select Done, the contact list shows only those contacts. If I hit the Home button, and go back into Contacts, it's fine, however, if I hit the back arrow from that page to the home screen and go back into Contacts, it now shows all contacts, including the #Data #Payment, etc AND the groups I had not checked off to show. When I go into Contacts to Display, "All Contacts" is selected again. Why do my settings keep erasing? I'd like to be able to keep it on my customized settings at all times. I do not recall ICS nor Gingerbread doing this, is this an issue with JB? I have searched many forums, I see nothing about this anywhere.
**Appears to have been caused by Go Launcher. I uninstalled and testing, so far so good, customized settings stay, even after reboots**

Pls search for galaxy S 3

Weird issue all.
On my N5, when I open the dialer, my favorites are listed out. The first 15 or so contact in the list, I can long press and move around accordingly to how much I call said person. However, there are some contacts, that I do call quite a bit, on the bottom of the list that I can not move at all. If I long press on them, nothing happens.
I tried removing them and re-adding them to favorites, but it doesn't matter. Any idea why this might be happening?
Anyone at all?
Looks like it's not just me, but everyone. Seems Goog coded the dialer this way.
