How can I save my contacts address with Google map link and use it directly through the contact information
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
When you 'star' a place, maps will give you an option to save it as a contact.
Yes that's right but it save it as a seperate contact and it just name the area not the exacted place with longitude
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
Well Google Maps isn't accurate enough to give you a specific address based on GPS fix. Google's Contacts have a field for postal address, which can't be mapped accurately by GPS/Google Maps. So there's really no field in Contacts that can be mapped to a location specifically.
The best thing to do is just type the address in.

You can 'Join' it to the contact you want or add it to existing contact. It won't do longitude but will point to the place when you click on it from within a contact.
Clever idea.but there era two problems the first I lost that address if I lost the internet connection for long time and the second that link is usabile for one time only. Thx for help.I am asking if there is a way to make the longitude as a link to Google maps. Thx again

What do you mean one time only? I can use a few I've saved. And how would you use maps without an internet connection, anyway?
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

This is exactly what I see when I go to edit my google contact! :

organization+
more
when i click more mothing happens!
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)

I am not sure if I missed something in the settings or so, but I have noticed that Bing is blocking search results. I only found out while I was looking for some information about quite a famous woman here in Germany who is widely asssociated with adult content. When I tried other explicit key words, Bing kept saying "No results".
Is there a switch for that somewhere?? I find it kinda stupid to go to Google through IE or app just because the built in search function is limited by M$ imposed "morality"...
That's the reason I don't use Bing. Thankfully tmobile made Microsoft put google search as an optional default setting. I don't know why they don't let you sign into Bing and set your preferences.

Due to an oversight by Microsoft, there's no way to turn off Bing SafeSearch filter in the Bing search app.
Just got this new AT&T Avail (android 2.3), which I'm really happy with but its not on the list of supported devices to use with the AT&T Address book. Which I wouldn't give a damn about, if the Address Book wasn't needed to access AT&T's "My Messages" app.
So what do I need to do here? Change the IMEI? Yes, I read the sticky, and no, I will not need lube because I am in the legal right of way, because my device is on the list of supported devices for the My Messages app.
I'm not sure if I need to convince the app ( https://market.android.com/details?id=com.voxmobili.attaddressbook&hl=en ) that I own a supported phone, or if I need to convince the server side that I own a supported phone. From my search here on XDA, it doesn't look like installing that app is going to be a cakewalk either. Even people who do have supported devices have a hard time re-installing this app.
Google does all that for you in contacts!
Just search the market for a good messaging app.
IMHO.

Acquiring a functional AT&T address book* is a prerequisite to getting AT&T's cloud service (aka My Messages). What it does is when you get a phone call or sms, you will also be alerted to that phone call or sms via desktop and tablet. The only way to do this with Google is to use Google Voice. The problem with that is the phone calls are routed through Google voice servers and there is a noticeable depreciation in quality.
I spent quite a bit of time looking for messaging app that will perform a similar function. After lots of searching I found android-notifier. Which isn't a cloud service but that's not the main problem. The main problem is that even though it has an .apk, that .apk is only used to broadcast to your desktop receiver. There is no .apk to receive notifications on other android devices (ie: my tablet).
*For further clarification, AT&T address book is a cloud based app. It can also be accessed from the desktop browser. Same with My Messages
The model of phone in in the build.prop in the android software and can be changed. Sorry not a Developer.
It looks like AT&T should update their app for all their phones.
