Hello everyone,
I recently bought a Nexus 5. Everything seems to be fine except from the Hangouts application.
The thing is that some of my contacts are saved as : 075 ......
and some other as: +44 75....
The contact name of those who are saved as 075, does not appear on the Hangouts app. It is really annoying, as i have quite a lot of contacts and i don't want to change the number of each one.
Any ideas?

I transferred my backups (including contacts list) from my phone to my PC via PC COMPANION software.
Since i flashed my phone I have been trying to reinstall my contacts list from my PC to my SDCARD on my phone, but i could only retreive 5 of my contacts.
I retreive all my mail messages with numbers but no names.
Can anyone please help as my contacts list is so important to me
and i only have it installed on my pc
it's an android phone, it uses google, why don't just use your google account for your contacts and then you will never have this problem again.
Of course, you could do the unthinkable and actually input all of you contacts from your PC into your phone using your fingers.
ok ur right i managed to retreive it through my google account.
For the life of me I don't know how it got there as i cant remember choosing to save my contacts in my google account. I Just used the backup and restore to backup and hoped i could just as easily restore.
Anyway now I am using a pice of software called MY PHONE EXPLORER which easily enables me to save all my contacts etc to and from my PC

lol it's magic dude
NAW, sometimes it will auto save to your google account also. My current phone always ask me each time but some phones and ROMS have just saved to google also without asking. Glad you got it worked out
Hey this is my post no going off the subject please
Ok have any of you smart Arses managed to partition your Xperia x10 Mini Pro (u20i) successfully.

Hello all.
Just bought a HTC Chacha.
I have transfered my contacts from my old phone to Chacha, but even though I have "Sync Contacts" enabled (Home->Settings->Data Sync->Google->Contacts) on the phone I don't see these contact details when I log into Gmail on my Win PC and click contacts???
I found the similar issue in this thread, and someone gave a explanation.

Hi guys...
Actually the problem is with the HTC... when u sync ur contacts 2 ur fone it downloads the contacts 4m gmail but not sync and stores in ur phone... if u wanna do so u need to export all the contacts to ur SD card n import back to the gmail... this syncs all the contacts to gmail including facebook, twitter n flicr links if any... these contacts are stored as other contacts in gmail... so after this if u add a contact in gmail n u want them to show in ur fone that shud be added in the other folder only... my contacts in gmail does not synced to fone...
All this **** kinda thing is entirely due to htc sync... in vanilla android all the contacts are in sync all the time automagically...
Apologies if this is confusing, coz I'm typing this on my fone...

Are there any way to fix it?

Go to people tap Menu>Import/ Export, and choose to export the contacts to the SD card.
Go to people again, tap Menu>Import/ Export, and choose to import the contacts from the SD card, when the phone prompts you which type of contact you want to import choose “Google”.
Then sync. Now you have the phone contacts on your GMail account.

Actually it's not an issue of ChaCha, all Android phones work the same. I can confirm Galaxy S does the same (at least on 2.1-update1) which was my previous phone. Maybe you have already performed this on your Galaxy and forgot about it
On every Android phone you need to perform the steps I said above (Export contacts to SD card, Import from SD card as GMail contacts, sync).

Thank you Alex, I remind that I didn't import contacts from my old phone to Galaxy S.
Another guy transfer from Galaxy S to Chacha
I never had to do this ever, Google contacts always sync'd fine scores all my phones...

Yes, once you have them on the GMail server. But if you never had contacts there and only on your phone then you need to perform the steps above. (These steps are provided by Samsung and HTC).
Ah... Got you now, explains why! Thanks

SIM or Phone?
Thanks for the info above - I'm having the same problem. I am confused tho -
If I go in to 'People - All', this offers a relatively small list of contact names but if I go into 'People - Groups' then I can see all my labels from one of my gmail accounts which is a much larger number of contact names. Where is this 'People-All'? Is it on my SIM or the Phone or...?
ie if I want to export ONLY the contacts in 'People - All' onto my SD card, then do I need to choose to export from my 'Phone' or from my 'SIM'???
I am desperate to get this done as I want to print all these contacts off from my PC's gmail account. I'm going to be out of internet/Wifi contact for a while and I may need some of the telephone numbers urgently.
What I don't understand is how come all of the group labels I've created in 'People' now appear in my Gmail account but with only a few of the contacts.
If I've added contacts to People manually - have I added them to my SIM or my Phone or my SD...??
Thanks!!!
Hi guys , I purchased Nexus S I9023 2days ago , I update the software to ICS 4.0.3
I need to copy my contacts from my old phone Nokia N73 , I got the contacts in Vcards but a lots of files , when I try to upload them to google contacts it only allows one file upload , is there another way to copy the contacts or a way to combine the contacts in VCF file !?
and thanks in advance for any help
I didn't have any problem when I first moved to android from my e71 but I think that's because I was already using google sync. Do you still have your n73? You could set it up still.

Using vcfcards is the simplist way to copy contacts from old nokia to new android. Try it yesterday and it was working with no problem. Dont be scared of the large number of exported vcf contacts. Android wil import them all at once.
How about copying them to the SIM card on your Nokia then to your Nexus S?
set sim card in nokia , copy all conctact to SIM , set sim card in nexus s and move all SIM contacts to nexus s..
what about import/export function in your g account?
Application

Hey guys,
Just got my mate 7 , amazing phone
I love the privacy feature where you can create a guest profile in which some apps are invisible, and where you can add private contacts.
But whenever I try to add a private contact it displays a message "no contacts".
Has anyone been able to do this?
Thanks guys
EDIT:SOLVED AFTER FACTORY RESET
Also not working for me very strange...
It works
Hi,
save the contact in phone memory, the contact will be listed.
nonetheless I tried it with a fake contact, not sure that it will fully work as intended.
solved
This issue has been solved after factory reset.
Hi,
Just got myself a mate 7, just need to reconfirm again that private contact will only works if the contact is in phone memory and not from other sources like gmail etc etc ?
Also, is there a way to create more than two guest mode ?
Thanks.

Yep you just have to copy your contacts to the phone memory then hide your gmail contacts and voila
