[Q] Change username? - General Questions and Answers

Hello,
About two months ago I changed my username via the contact form and I've been trying since a week later to change it back but the message doesn't send. I've tried a few contact forms on the Contact Us page but none go through.
Could someone provide an alternate contact method?
Thank you and sorry if this is the wrong place to ask

Shoot me a PM with what you'd like to change your name to and I'll get it taken care of.
Going to go ahead and close this thread since I've received your PM.

What about My Friend Book http://www.androlib.com/android.application.droidmatic-android-myfriendbook-xAAm.aspx
Thank you, any idea for a good dialer app out there?
Handcent for SMS/MMS is great, can "tag" from a contact list, im not sure if there is a limit, as i have never encountered one, but that's not to say there isn't.
And cant you mass email with the generic gmail app? Id check before i posted, but my phones in the middle of something. If this thread doesn't have an answer for that by the time i can get back, ill update this answer.

Linked contacts? questions.

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.

Forwarding an SMS and Manual

Two questions really.
If I knew where to get a manual (can't find one anywhere) I'd not need to ask the first question:
OK, I've received an SMS which I want to forward to someone that isn't in my phonebook. I can hold-press the message and select 'forward', but instead of being able to put the number in to send it to, Hangouts pops up (which is the ****tiest text app I've ever seen, btw) and makes me select a contact. Because there is no contact for this number, I tried creating a new one (although I don't want a contact for this number) but when I put the number in, it won't let me save it; I've tried pressing enter but nothing happens. This is the single most frustrating thing I've found with KitKat so far.
In fact, I have another question:
Can anyone recommend a decent SMS app? Really, hangouts is truly awful.

Someone has tried to log into your account on xda-developers with an incorrect password at least 5 times. This person has been prevented from attempting to login to your account for the next 15 minutes.
The person trying to log into your account had the following IP address: 68.102.150.210
All the best,
