I just got the Atrix. The contacts app doesn't have the ability to sort by last name, then first name. I found that this is a native feature of Froyo, but since this contacts app must be "blurred", that feature is missing.
Can anyone tell me if I can remove the MotoBlur contacts app and put the normal stock app in it's place? If so, how do I do it?
bump... any info on this?
Hi all,
I have a MyTouch 4G running stock OS (Froyo).
I recently installed two apps: pansi sms and go contact ex. The first time in Pansi SMS app, I opened an old conversation with a friend, and when I clicked on his name to go to his contact detail, the app selection popped up and I mistakenly chose the non-Go contacts Ex option (I think it's "People", but I can't remember exactly) and set it as a default. I want to use "Go Contacts Ex" instead of People for all cases, but I can't seem to find a way to clear this setting.
I've tried cleaning defaults with ClearDefault, default app manager, search clear defaults and 1Tap cleaner, but none of them helped bringing the default selection back.
Somebody please help.
Thanks in advance.

I wish it's that simple. I tried to re-installed many times. Didn't work.
Hello, I've spent the last hour linking my Google Contacts with Facebook. So i think, i don't wanna do this again next time I flash new rom or change phone. So is it possible to make some kind of backup that will remember what contacts where linked.
If not, is there an app that can rename all my Google Contacts according to the names of the linked Facebook account.
Are you using a HTC phone with a Sense ROM? If you are, then the People app in Sense adds a tag to each contact once you link it. Using this it automatically restores Facebook link when you factory reset/flash a new ROM. To confirm that it added those tags for you, open a contact and look under the 'Notes' section. Also log into your Gmail account on a computer, open a few random linked contacts and see if this tag is there under 'Notes'. If it's there, it's backed up with Google contacts and when you restore the contacts to the phone, it'll automatically link them after signing into Facebook.

i wish i could help man, i want to do the same thing too
Unfortunately, I don't think it is really possible as these are two separate sets of contacts. The best way to alleviate some of the hassle is to transfer some of the data over, as in, transfer the facebook info into your Google contacts.
Facebook info is not editable as it is stored on their sore and merely linked to it. Ubuntu One os working on their contact management which would slow for this as it syncs facebook, Google and any other services to you ubuntu account then would sync to your mobile.

I've added all the email address of my friends to my Google contacts. I manually did this one day on my computer, copy pasting email addresses from Facebook to Google contacts. Since then I've never had this problem. Facebook automatically identifies my contacts through their email ID and links them. It's a time consuming process, but you'll only need to do it once and for every new contact that you add.

Well i'm hardly a developer, but if it possible to access to contacts joined contacts from the android API, and if we build an application that would read information from facebook(with permission, like all FB apps) then i guess it would be possible to store lets say profile id from fb to google contacts notes, and then with the same app, you would be able to join them again in case of new phone/new rom.
Would you say thats possible? Would anyone try to build that?
I think i will try to make something like that after I finish the college year.
HTC has a feature like that, as was mentioned. So it's possible. It would be worth it to try! Basically the htc app automatically searches and paris contacts, based on names, emails, numbers, etc. them you are given a notification, and prompted with the suggestions and you can choose to link. This only happens on startup, so am app that could be called on at any time would be nice!

When on contacts screen, press menu> import/export> export to sdcard
Restore them whenever you flash a new ROM, don't tell if it wasn't what you were looking for

I know it has been a long time since this questioned has been asked, but I wanted to let people annoyed by this problem that I have made a free application that can backup and restore those joins. It can help those with mild OCD like myself.
It is called Total Backup and can be found in Google Play at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.softwareshack.totalbackup. If you happen to use it don't hesitate to write to me any bugs or features you may like. Feedback is very important to me.
Hello everyone, pretty new here and coming from a my touch 4g. I'm pretty happy about this phone, with the exception of one thing about the ui.
The frequently called list. I don't use the phone function much, but it seems contacts get added to this list even after an accidental phone call that doesn't go through. The list is getting so long now that it's almost my whole contact list!
It's one of my biggest burdens about the phone having to scroll through my contacts twice to find someone that I just haven't called since I've flashed a room. And i can't find an option anywhere to remove it.
Any help?
Thanks in advanced

The only solution I found for this was to log in to gmail from your computer; export your contacts via Google csv; delete all your contacts including frequently used contacts; then import back in your Google csv file.
I recently did this myself and it worked. Only solution I found using Google to find a solution.
You can long press the contact it will bring up a add to/edit and then hit the menu button and in that is a remove from call log.
while one of these options will get rid of contacts in the frequently called list, it doesn't really disable the list themselves.
Removing a call from the recent calls list doesn't get rid of a contact in the frequently called list. =[
I guess my only choice is to go with another dialer? Does anyone have one that they'd like to recommend?
Hello, I'm having a strange problem with contacts just deleting and disappearing
By themselves. Just recently I've been texted and texting new people. But EVERYTIME I add them (3 did people) they then automatically delete, except for the text messages exchanged. I can add them from the messaging window and then when I go back into my contacts list those names are no longer there and in the messaging app (not even a 3rd party app am I using atm, literally the stock one..) It only shows the phone number all over again as if its a just a random person/ unknown person that hasn't been added to the contacts. Please help, this is very frustrating .

Have you tried going into Settings > Accounts (& Sync), and seeing if your Google account has Synced Contacts?

Yes, and the answer is that it SAYS it has synced, but its not happening because it's being deleted.
