Hey everyone.
I have been searching for a good contact app to replace the default android one on my Moto Z Play.
I'm really methodical in organizing my contacts, I need them to have always name and surname, and if at first I don't know the surname of the contact I'm adding I just hate to add tips to remember who it is. What I do is to use other filds, such as company, job or position.
I really need an app that allow me to see this kind of aditional information without having to open/edit the contact, and as far as I know I can't configure the default contacts app to show it.
If any of you do know and app that allow me to show the information in the contacts list screen I would really apreciate it.
Thanks already for your attention.

Hi,
Sorry if this is the wrong forum, feel free to move my topic.
On my Android phone (Motorola Milestone) I have several apps that integrate into Contacts: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, LastFM.
Android makes a good effort in merging the contacts automatically, or I can merge them manually. Some people compain about the automatic merge and I know about the bug reports, but for me it's good enough.
What bothers me however, is that I cannot set what type of contact has "priority". For example, I have a merged contact that consists of a Gmail contact (containing full name, address, phone, email), a Twitter contact (containing nickname, full name, profile pcture) and a Facebook contact (containg full name, phone, email, profile picture). In the Android contacts list this person may be shown as either with his full name or his nickname. It is completely random. I have not found a way to force this merged contact to be shown with full name. I just want an option to say "this person is called X, dammit".
Any ideas?
I'm sorry but... *bump* ?
same here.
It is driving me crazy.
Any solution?

Would love to get a fix for this too!!

I'm now running Froyo on my Milestone, but I still haven't found a way to do this.
Yet another *bump*
I'm going to try something incredibly dirty: install the .apk of the HTC contacts app, because this allows to set the visible name.
Is there no app on the market that allows easy editing of contacts?
Anyone tried any apps and if so then why not post the app name and whether it was useful or otherwise. That could help everyone else trying to solve their contacts cloud issues.

Hi all,
I'm writing a program that imports our contacts into the Contacts db on the phone so they show up in the Contacts app, are available for caller id to draw from, etc. I've got it working the way we want on the emulator and the Motorola Droid. When I go to Menu --> View, I can see our application with a check box next to it, and when it's checked, our contacts show up fine.
However, when I try the same thing on the HTC Evo, the contacts don't show up in People, and I don't have our application listed in the View menu. The contacts show up when I do a search within People, and when the contact calls the phone, their contact info shows up fine.
The contacts I'm testing our application with aren't in the phone already ;-) They're special test cases with unique names; that's how I'm able to determine they are actually coming from our app.
I sort of get the feeling this is a HTC Sense issue, but I don't have a way to confirm that right now. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
I've been using Google contacts and email for some time now and am surprised that there is not a more robust contact management solution from a sales perspective. Most people I think, have a need today to make good searchable notes about the people the they meet, and add reminders to follow-up with certain ones or groups of them.
I was reminded again today how horrible this contact management situation still is today, when I added a contact that I met at a Chumber of Commerce lunch. I remembered "Mark J" which is meaningless to me so I entitled the contact with a two letter code identifying the restaurant where we met, as much of the name I could remember, and relavant details. The title was Db Mark J Owner Limo Svc.
Now what I like about that, is that no longer are you forced to split the name into separate fields because that wouldn't fit.
What I don't like is that when I did a search immediately after adding the name for the word "limo' which is, for crying out loud, in the title of the contact, it did not come up! It wasn't even in the notes or some other field which should also be searchable?
How do others handle this? I know about SalesForce.com and others but monthly commitments are a small business owner's worst nightmare. Is there any way to improve this?
I'd like to at least be able to find a Google contact with a search.
I'd also like to add reminders to follow up on various groups or search matches.
I'd also like to be able let an email campaign interact with them without creating separate lists.
Assistance is greatly appreciated in helping me to get more out of contact management.
Learn java. Create new contacts app.
Or contact Google..
No one from Google will see your issues here.

I need help. I want to assign commands to certain words. For example if I want to set a reminder to CALL my brother or TEXT my brother I want a link to the words so it will call right there instead of coming out the app going to my app drawer and finding the call or text app. Can someone help me.
I'd check out Tasker, in you have not already. There are thousands of scripts written for it, or roll your own.

So, basically, you are looking for a shortcut creating app right?
Hi, would appreciate if anyone can recommend an app that displays additional info saved in the contact (I'm mainly after tite, company, notes).
I used to use an app called Call Informer which did just that, but then it seems the developer abandoned it and it doesn't work well anymore.
The only apps I can find do an online search while the phone is ringing in order to look up details on the number. I'm more interested in displaying data already saved in the contact.
Thanks.
