I have several otherwise unrelated contacts in my phone, all of which originated with my Outlook address book, which have somehow become linked . I cannot find any way to unlink them. Can anybody help?
Go to contatcs and press the menu button. You will get a menu where you have a text saying 'linked contacts'. You can unlink there. I'm talking about the stock rom.

Hi,
I have a little annoying problem. One of the contacts in the favourite list has the default action set to "Send Message" (I'm talking about the little icon just below the photo and name).
The problem is that all (but one) of my favourites have the default action set to Call Contact (the little earpiece icon) except this one.
I want to have every action set to "Call Contact" but I can't find any option where to change it.
It's the only phone number I have for this contact and it is filed under Mobile.
Can anyone help me with this?
scroll down to the contact, then press right or left
I think he is talking about the favourite contacts and not the contacts app. only way i know to do that is to delete the contact and then add them again and you will be able to choose between send message and call
Hi all, is there and app or mod that will let me mark new Gmail as read or delete them directly from the notification panel?
Obviously I can select the notification to open the gmail app and delete from there. But, I'd like to be able to perhaps long press on the new mail notification and have a menu popup to mark as read or delete. Or maybe have buttons added next to the notification to instantly mark as read/delete. Is there anything like that available?
(I've tried searching google/market/etc., but nothing came up.)
Anyone got any ideas how you can delete the contacts that rack up in your 'recent contacts' list in text messages.
Thank youuuu.
Manually go in and delete each one. I believe by long pressing the screen. I don't totally understand your question so if im wrong please correct me or re-state
I mean when you send a text message the contact you have sent it to will appear in the "recent contacts" drop box, I've tried long holding but nothing seems to happen?
It took me a while to figure this out also but here it is.
The recent list you see under the messaging app is compiled from your history in the contacts app.
So open up contacts. Click over to the history tab. Hit menu and selected Delete. From here check off all the items which involve the number you're trying to remove from Recent and delete them. If you deleted all of the entries, you can click back over to the messaging app and when you go to recent the offending number should be gone. If not go back to the Contacts History tab and be sure you didn't miss an entry.
It's annoying and tedious but it solves your problem. Good Luck.
Hello! I've got strange problem, something gone wrong in SMS app and I can't send messages to one of contacts. It says that recipient is invalid. That recipient is ABC for example. It looks ABC <123456789> in SMS app instead of just ABC like other mesaging threads. When i open message thread and manually select ABC from contacts, SMS is sent, but when I exit to threads view, recipient is replaced to ABC <123456789> again, so when I try to write message again, error appears again too.
I tried to remove conversation, delete contact and add it again, but no success. Even if contact is fully removed from SIM, Google and Phone, and SMS / Contacts apps data were cleared, when I try to send message using only contact number, it appears in messages still as ABC <12345678>, in other 3rd party apps like chompSMS the contact shows as unknown/number only (correct), when I call this number, it shows as number only too, so what the hell with stock sms app (with all data cleared)? I tried to format cache partition, nothing changed. When I add the same number to contacts and name it for example XYZ, and then select option to send sms directly from contacts menu, SMS app is opening with recipient field filled as... ABC <123456789>.
Only factory reset helped, but the problem may occur again, and what then?
Another symptom is that inside SMS app the contact (even if added to contacts) shows as face with question mark (like unknown / not added contact) but without that small triangle in the bottom-right corner (when I touch, nothing appears, normally the menu with contact options like "Add to contacts" should appear).
Phone is Android 4.1.2, no root, stock AOSP ROM.
I just loaded D801 TMO LP Extreme and did a reset. It's working great except selecting email accounts seems to have changed. I used to click the menu at the top left and click the account I wanted, that was all. Now clicking that menu and clicking an account gives me more choices of what folder I want to go to. Any way to switch it back to the simple, inbox default, selection method? Screenshot attached in case you don't know what I'm talking about.
