Can someone tell me how to erase useless contact information in sms. When I enter a name I get a list of peoples email addresses, home phones, and cannot use that info to send a text. Is there a way to bring up only valid cell phone numbers?

Hi,
It depends on the messaging app you use, check in the app settings to see if there is an option to display only contacts with mobile numbers etc
For further help feel free to post your query in the general q&a section found here

So...I have a contact named Iris. I pin Iris to the home page. Fine. Now when I go into her contact I have the option to link her to another. Fine. I link her to David. I back out to the homepage. WTF?...Iris is now David?..Ok what and why has my Iris "pane" changed to David? I dont understand this. Not only that but if i search my contacts for Iris that name no longer shows up.
Very odd and I really hate this.
Is there a solution?
Hi,
I use the link option only to join together 2 entries in my contact list for 1 person.
For example, I have a friend in my contacts called Jim but his facebook contact name is James, i can link these 2 together to have just 1 entry in my contact list. I think I know what your trying to do - mabye link together a husband and wife or something, I'm not sure if you can do that?
If you unlink your contact you should get both back.
Hope this makes sense.
Hi there,
The link contacts feature is more for linking the same contact but from different sources together.
Say you have Iris on Exchange, the same Iris on FB but with slightly different info including differing email addresses, and say you have the same Iris (but spelt Irisss) in Live. The Link feature enables you to join all these sources together in one view.
Please remember though that this is a "view" and not a single physical contact. All three contacts will remain as they are in their respective areas in the cloud. There is no auto update or merging of data. I've asked this question on another forum and as yet, no response.

Our posts sort of crossed and I forgot to put in what you mentioned above
Yeah! I think yours makes more sense tho lol!
I understand what you guys are saying but if u select links from your contact it suggests names that you should link to...which results in the original contact name disappearing

They are only suggestions and you don't have to link to those. You can continue to search for them.
Funnily enough..... I have a contact for myself on the phone for when you could send your details as a BT transfer or over SMS. Used to use that alot. I'm also on Facebook, but the phone only shows my contact on the phone not the FB contact as well to link too. In fact I cant search for my self either lol.

Yes I know you can search for anyone but what I'm pointing out is that it presents itself as being able to link to separate contacts and that when you do that the original contact "disapears". The way it presents itself isn't the way it works.
it does not disappear only one of the contacts would be showed and the other contacts details is merged in the contact you linked in.
If you want Iris to show than first unlink the contacts and then select David and link Iris...
No it doesn't disappear but if you search for that contact name it doesn't show up any longer.

Is there any way at all to send contact info to a third person via vcard, sms or anything? No cut and paste either - so, do we really have to write it down on paper, then enter it into an sms?

You're missing the point.
The suggestions are there because the OS thinks that the contacts are the same person. This might be because of similar name, similar E-mail or whatever. Personally it has never suggested the wrong people before.
The original contact doesn't disappear, linking is done to link accounts of the same person together. The reason why your original person "disappeared" was because you linked 2 people together who weren't the same person.
Background info
My phone is Samsung s3
Rom is cyanonegmod( i installed it using the tool on their website)
My skill level a very low
The only apps im running are from google play store
I think i have a bot on my cellphone. Earlier today I was looking for an email that had room reservation information from the silver legacy hotel. I have my exchange email linked to my phone so i used the search function in the email app to search for the word silver. The reservation was in the results list. But there where also bunch of outgoing emails that i never sent. The emails looked like spam, i opened one but didn't click on the link. The email had been sent to me from me according to the email, but these emails don't show up in my inbox or sent mail folder. These emails don't show up on any of my computers that have the my exchange email account synced to them. I think there is some sort bot running on my phone. I tried searching using google and the xda forum search function but i couldnt find anything to help me. Is there anyway to remove the bot with out resetting my phone? I've never heard of this happening, but i figured it would only be a matter time before someone figured out how to get bots on cellphones.
Hi there, XDA Assist is mainly for navigational guidance within XDA. Your question is more general and would be appropriate in the General Q&A section. I have asked a moderator to move it for you. Good luck!
I would say they are in your spam folder, a lot of spam email spoofs the sender as the receiver email to get the person to open it. Check your spam folder and I bet they are in there.
I checked the spam folder, the emails weren't there.
My girlfriend just recently switched from an iPhone 4S to a OnePlus One. When she wants to send me a message in Google Hangouts, she starts to type my name, and a dialogue box comes up with two choices. One with just my email and a Google Plus photo (which I thought I completely deleted my Google Plus account) and another with my email and phone number as her contact that she just added to the People app. How do I get rid of the "Multiple Profiles Found" dialogue. Its rather annoying as selecting one will start a Hangout while selecting the other one with default to SMS.
When I start to type her name, only one choice comes up and it will start a Hangout, not SMS.

You'd know where to post the questions on OnePlus One. Having said that, it sounds like messed up contacts setup or duplicates in her Google Account Contacts.
Thread Closed. Thank you.

Whatsapp is becoming really a privacy concern ..
Is any of you guys is using their other brands ; like instagram, FB Messenger. . Etc?
Are you blocking them from accessing private data?
Are you using any modded apps that they don't like?
I don't know but I think that they are trying to link everything they own together .. so if you block any of it in away that the info they get is not identical , they block you, and force you to supply the info they failed to collect from your devices ..

I am developing an android SMS sending app and is in stuck state due to a prompt being popped up always when i run my app. Message is given below. After pretty long search through web, there is no solution other than to root android phone to make it work. Now my question is, when google give an option like this as part of security(well it is very good), why there is no option to turn it off willingly by the phone user? Or is there any API where I can read the setting internally and adjust SMS send count based on that?
"_APP_ is sending a large number of SMS messages. Do you want to allow this app to continue sending messages?"
