"Contacts" layout seems rather minimalistic ? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've upgraded to the N5 from a android 2.3.5 device, and cant help but notice a few features that are missing in KitKat 4.4.2.
Particularly, in the contact screen, my Motorola would show an option in "Display Options ----> Only display contacts with phone. nos "
Which was very useful to me, since i have bunch of contact synced from yahoo and gmail that only have email Ids. Is there a way to rectify this in KitKat ??
Also the Merge contacts option seems to be missing

Group's contacts calls intercepted in the booking period.
Looks great! I will try it out... seems that it is something like groups in Google Contacts or is there something really different? (except firewall!, I understand that the firewall is not possible in Google Contacts)

Thanks! Will give it a go. Looks to be pretty good already.
Perfectly executed ad placement, BTW
does it group your contacts by your google groups..?
Thanks, dewang!!!!
Edit: Slight spelling error: "Select photo form Gallery", should be "from".
Thanks!
Nice app! Since it's now in the Market, I will add it to next Monday's Last Week's Best Android Apps and Games roundup, like this one http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/1...-and-games-10410-101010-now-with-screenshots/
OK
Thank you for your interest.
I think I hit a bug but I can't reproduce it, so I think it only happens if you install and don't go to the options. Basically, the mass SMS option added all the phone numbers from every contact, instead of just the primary ones. When I went to the options, I saw that the default option is to actually pick the primary one and is already checked. Then I went back and tried again and this time it was fine - only the primary numbers were selected. Any idea why this may be happening? Do you not initialize your options perhaps?

Thank you for your feedback. I have found the problem, because the code and configuration files using the default settings are different. I'm adding new features. Completed immediately after the update.
Just what an android needed!!! Good job man!
I *really* like this contact manager, it has almost all of the features that I've been dreaming of having since I left the iPhone.
I have two requests:
I have contacts in my Google Contacts, and they and the groups they are in are showing up just fine. I also have an Exchange account, and those contacts are showing up as well. However, the groups from the exchange account are not showing up. Is it possible for you to add them?
I usually look people up by their last name, but can't seem to find out how to do that in the application. Is there a way to sort contacts by their last name?
Thanks!

[Q] Sense SMS Issue

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.

[Q] Use Facebook contact photo for GMail app sender image?

Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III, Stock ROM 4.1.2
With the new GMail App it displays the contact photo or a letter in the sender image, unlike a lot of people I like this feature, however I do have an issue. If I have setup the contact to merge my GMail contact with my Facebook contact and then make the Facebook photo the default, the phone shows this picture they call me, however it shows the letter icon in GMail. If I go back into the contact and change the default picture to their GMail contact photo, then both voice and GMail shows the Google contact photo.
Does anyone know how to get the dynamic changing Facebook contact image to work as the sender image in the new GMail app?
Thanks in advance

Lollipop contacts bug

I just updated to lollipop on my nexus 5, and in my phone contact list , every contact I have ever communicated with appears , which is very annoying , i have way too many contacts and clutter . How can i fix this ??? and how come my contact list didn't stay the same , as i had before the update . And on top of all this , a blank list of no name appears i can't erase
UPDATE** found a solution , make sure when you update to 5.0 , that you delete all the contacts in your different email accounts that you don't want anymore or go into each email account settings and turn contact sync off . cause if you don't do this , all contacts from your different emails will appear under contacts in your dialer contact list

Facebook somehow detecting the same user on different instances of a custom ROM

I have an issue with the pre-installed Facebook app on a custom ROM showing a suggestion popup saying "We think this might be you" or "Accounts That Might Be Yours" with a list of one or more Facebook users when you click on the login screen's e-mail field.
What happens is:
1) User 1 creates a new VM, logs into Facebook
2) User 2 creates a new VM (based off of the same image) and clicks the login screen's e-mail field and sees a suggestion popup saying the likes of "We think you're <User 1's name>".
So the issue is the popup appears on different VM instances of the ROM that haven't even logged into Facebook before. Users should not be seeing suggestions of other user's names when trying to log into Facebook.
Somehow Facebook is seeing the different instances as being the same device but I am at a loss as to how.
The ROM is running Android 7.1.2 (based off of android-x86)
We've made sure the device ID (android.os.Build.SERIAL), IMEI, SIM card serial (faked by TelephonyManager.java) etc are randomized and are different between each instance.
