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.

Hey guys, does anyone know of a way to have the Messaging app on WM5/6 look through contacts and assign the appropriate contact name based on the number from which the message was received? I know it does this automatically when a new message comes in, but how about for old messages, where the contact was not yet entered into the address book?
That is to say, at present, I have messages in my inbox that have no name associated to them, only a number. Since being received, however, I have added the number to a contact, and now wish the old message to recognise the message as one from that particular contact.
I'm pulling my hair out over this one, so any help is appreciated.
Rich.

Anyone?
Plus, I'm somewhat unsure of where else to look/ask for help...

No-one?
Well I am an Android migrant as of last week and I am loving the overall experience, especially the large community of savvy developers.
Now regarding Sense and it's pesky contact book sync issues.
First issue is, I don't want any of my Google contacts syncing with my phonebook or any part of my phone for that matter as I don't maintain that address book. Second of all when I pull up the Phone application the entire list is populated with every one of my Facebook friends who has ever entered a contact number (including 1800suckmyballs).
I am looking for a solution to remedy this situation but also still be able to associate individual contacts with a Facebook profile. Anyone out there that knows the ins-and-outs of Sense better? Can you give me a hand?

Hi. I appear to have a bug in my x10 Mini address book (Eclair). Both apps I have (Contact Owner and Andrive) that allow me to pick a pre-defined contact from my address book get information from a different contact to the one I am picking. I have tried experimenting with different contacts and it would seem that there is a small subset of contacts that this picking method chooses instead of the one I want. I can force it to pick the contact I want by making a new one first but this is a pain because it is then a duplicate of one that exists. Any clues as to what is happening and how I can fix it?
For most of my contacts, when I go to compose a new message and begin typing their name, their name shows up multiple times on the list.
I have gone into settings and only chosen "My Contacts" in gmail to show, which has each of my friends listed only ONCE, but some may have multiple numbers under their name (such as phone & google voice number). If their GV number shows up alongside their actual number it's not a problem, since it's only very few of my friends and sometimes I actually want to send a message to their GV instead of their phone.
The problem is that for contacts that I just have listed once in My Contacts, which most have only one number attached to their name, they'll show up twice and sometimes three or four times in the list.
For example:
- I have John Doe in My Contacts under gmail, and his number is +1-555-666-5555.
- I type "John" in the contact part of my text, and the following shows:
John - (+15556665555)
John Doe - (+15556665555)
John Doe - (+1-555-666-5555)
The name and number are obviously changed, but wtf.. why does it show up in various forms if I only actually have the last one in gmail?
i think it might be syncing off any linked accounts you have? such as Facebook maybe. you can go into the [John Doe] contact wherever u see multiple of the same #'s and you'll prob see the number show there multiple times too, reason is because some people have their # listed on their FB account and thats prob syncing into ur address book too. and their FB default name might be the other name showing, as opposed to like the nickname or w/e you'd use for them on your address book.
Thanks for the help, but that's not the issue. I made sure to go into Display Options and uncheck everything but "My Contacts" under Google. The problem still persists.
I know it's not a rom issue, because the same thing happened to me as soon as I got the phone.
Also, in the example I used (the name and number were changed, obviously), the friend I was looking at only had one number listed in the contacts list on gmail, yet it still shows a few variations on my phone.
Not really a big issue, just a nuisance.
I'm running stock CM11S (Verson 33R) on my OPO. Unrooted.
I notice these stranges behaviors:
When receiving e-mail from any contact in my contact-list, the mail-app (stock CM11S app) only shows the picture connected to this contact for one of the stored email-adresses in the conversation-list. When I open the mail to read it, the picture is shown correctly in the email-header.
With some e-mails, the picture is shown, but instead of the contacts name the mail adress is displayed, both in conversation list and in the e-mail view.
Additionally I can not find any way to manage contacts in the contact-app, meaning I can not move a contact from phone-storage to google account or vice versa. Am I to stupid or is this a bug?
Thanks for any answers to enlighten me.
