Anyone know how (or if) the icon next to contacts name in the list can be removed? Ex: google, sim, etc.

If I might ask, why do you want to do this? Without this how do you know at a glance where your particular contact is stored?
i dont really need to know where my contacts are stored as all my contacts are on my google account.
I understand. I like them there as a management tool, so if I make a mistake and store one of my contacts on my phone or sim, it flags me.
I'm sorry I can't help you further with this. Maybe you could ask this question in the development section as I think this is a feature of the android system.

I disliked this feature as well, becuz i don't have facebook on my phone. I use exdialer becuz u can get themes for the dial pad, and the other program it comes with, ex contacts, allows u to remove the avatar pic. its smooth and very customizable.

Hey I just rooted my gf's Inspire using the GUI method and everything went flawlessly. Still waiting till more devs get in on this phone because I have an Evo and there is a great deal more development (of course because it's been out for much longer). Anyways, does anybody know the .apk name for the Learn More app so I can delete it through RootExplorer. It is completely useless. Once that question is answered then this thread can be deleted.
bump. Also stupid question but is there no front facing camera on this phone? Also I accidentally have it so every contact is syncing to google twice. Under every contact when you go to link it shows up google twice. Is there any way to fix this.
Well i know you cant remove an account from.gtalk without wiping the phone. Any chance you put same acct. In twice?

No what actually happened is a synced her google account which has all of her numbers and then I accidentally imported all her number from her sim to google so they were syncing both for some reason. I reset the phone and now the google contacts won't sync. I'm going to try some things and see if I can get everything working. But do you know the .apk name for Learn More?
Quick fix for the contacts us to go to Google contacts on the computer and use their dedupe toil in the top tool bar.

Thanks, I still can't find the .apk name for the Learn More app and I desperately want to delete it for her cause she keeps nagging about it. However I did get the google contacs fixed and everything is up and running. Now if only someone would tackle an SBC, undervolted kernel to attack this terrible battery life.
I remember my old vibrant had that feature in the address book, i was able to add address, etc, etc, and birthdays!!
Now I have my galaxy s 4g on official gingerbread and it doesnt have that feature...
Did google strip this feature with firmware upgrades?
if so they are retarded. Its a very useful feature to have!

SIM only contacts can't. If it is saved as a phone contact you will be able too.

I use Go Contacts, adds all the info I want, and I backup to SDcard.
Alex, this phone is not a vibrant. I would suggest saving all of your contacts to the google servers and then you can adds whatever you want. Also, if you sync with Facebook, it handles most of that for you

if you have a clue how to help or some tips please do so... I just dont like how this whole forum is filled up with some loud mouth geeks who are too devoted to talking **** on people instead of helping out
here I fixed it on my own jerk offs!
This really shows how lame and selfish this website is becoming, you ask for help you get smart comments.
This is a reason why I didnt see the birthday option:
apparently if you have you phone book setting set to: (ask where to store a contact, by default) meaning when you want to create a contact it will ask you where to store him phone, google, sim, etc....... then it wont let you edit birthday.. it will let you view however birthdays you put for some contacts,,, but if you want to create a new contact and you want to add a bday.. then by default you contact setting should be (store contact to google)

Hello, I've spent the last hour linking my Google Contacts with Facebook. So i think, i don't wanna do this again next time I flash new rom or change phone. So is it possible to make some kind of backup that will remember what contacts where linked.
If not, is there an app that can rename all my Google Contacts according to the names of the linked Facebook account.
Are you using a HTC phone with a Sense ROM? If you are, then the People app in Sense adds a tag to each contact once you link it. Using this it automatically restores Facebook link when you factory reset/flash a new ROM. To confirm that it added those tags for you, open a contact and look under the 'Notes' section. Also log into your Gmail account on a computer, open a few random linked contacts and see if this tag is there under 'Notes'. If it's there, it's backed up with Google contacts and when you restore the contacts to the phone, it'll automatically link them after signing into Facebook.

i wish i could help man, i want to do the same thing too
Unfortunately, I don't think it is really possible as these are two separate sets of contacts. The best way to alleviate some of the hassle is to transfer some of the data over, as in, transfer the facebook info into your Google contacts.
Facebook info is not editable as it is stored on their sore and merely linked to it. Ubuntu One os working on their contact management which would slow for this as it syncs facebook, Google and any other services to you ubuntu account then would sync to your mobile.

I've added all the email address of my friends to my Google contacts. I manually did this one day on my computer, copy pasting email addresses from Facebook to Google contacts. Since then I've never had this problem. Facebook automatically identifies my contacts through their email ID and links them. It's a time consuming process, but you'll only need to do it once and for every new contact that you add.

Well i'm hardly a developer, but if it possible to access to contacts joined contacts from the android API, and if we build an application that would read information from facebook(with permission, like all FB apps) then i guess it would be possible to store lets say profile id from fb to google contacts notes, and then with the same app, you would be able to join them again in case of new phone/new rom.
Would you say thats possible? Would anyone try to build that?
I think i will try to make something like that after I finish the college year.
HTC has a feature like that, as was mentioned. So it's possible. It would be worth it to try! Basically the htc app automatically searches and paris contacts, based on names, emails, numbers, etc. them you are given a notification, and prompted with the suggestions and you can choose to link. This only happens on startup, so am app that could be called on at any time would be nice!

When on contacts screen, press menu> import/export> export to sdcard
Restore them whenever you flash a new ROM, don't tell if it wasn't what you were looking for

I know it has been a long time since this questioned has been asked, but I wanted to let people annoyed by this problem that I have made a free application that can backup and restore those joins. It can help those with mild OCD like myself.
It is called Total Backup and can be found in Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.softwareshack.totalbackup. If you happen to use it don't hesitate to write to me any bugs or features you may like. Feedback is very important to me.

Anyone know can I link "My local profile" in the people app with my facebook profile? When I pick my facebook profile from contacts and select to join it my local profile doesn't show in the list. I've added my phone number under the dialer settings but that didn't seem to help either.
All my calls and texts are logged under the local profile and it's annoying.

If you go to the Unofficial CM9 forum, at the bottom of page 35 somebody else had the same problem with Facebook sync. At the top of page 36 PipelinerArd answered what to do.
Edit: Sorry if I sound like a d*ck, but the answer is there. If you posted that question in that forum, somebody probably could have helped you faster. If that doesn't help your specific problem, maybe somebody else in that one could help you out. I run that rom, but don't use that particular feature.

Thanks, but that's not my problem. I saw that when I read through that thread before I flashed the rom, and got FB-Sync from the play store. That sync'd all my FB contacts fine, and I can join all of those contacts with duplicates in my Google contact list fine. I just can't join MY profile with the "My Local Profile" in the People app.
And no, you didn't sound like a **** to me lol :good:
EDIT: After looking at it again it looks like the profile I'm trying to link is my personal profile saved to my Google contacts, not my actual facebook profile.

Alright lol. Well like I said I don't use Facebook sync stuff, so I don't know about that one.
Hello,
I have a few numbers for a certain contact and I need to write a custom label for those number.
Work/Mobile/Fax etc. are just not enough, I need the custom option.
On some contacts I have the option and on other I don't.
How can I fix that?
Can I do anything about it?
Thank you.
I have 9 available labels for phone numbers of a contact and one of them is "custom". Sabsa Prime 6.5
Maybe the contacts that do not have this label for you are from your SIM card?

I downloaded the RUU from the HTC site - it's the official HTC ICS for the Desire S.
So there is nothing I can do except getting another ROM?
Have you tried just typing in a new label?

So basically there is no way?
Are all your contacts on "Google", and not on the "Phone"?
I tried to make a new contact on the "Phone" and there is no "Custom" option for the label, only "Other", while with "Google" contacts there is.
Yeah I also noticed that but I obviously not everyon has gmail, also I don't have everyone's emails....
Bah.. I had really hoped that they would fix this stupid option with ICS.

That's the thing... they have nothing to fix.
You can save contacts to Google even if they don't have gmail, that's what I do anyway, I store all my contacts on Goggle and none on the Phone. This way I never have to backup my contacts when wiping and fleshing new ROMs (which I a lot).
Just try it...
People -> Move Contacts - is that it?
Will I be able to move them back if I want to?
Will google have my number if I do this (I'm asking cause I don't want ppl getting my number through my google profile/Google+) ?
