Hi all.. When you add a new contact to a sms it saves the contact in the sms application list for future use. Is there any way to delete this list so I don't end up with a massive list all of the time?
Hi all,
I'm not sure whether I missed something, but I find that I can add a phone number to Contacts from wm6 call history. However, it don't have the category field in the add contact form. And therefore I have to run my Contact manager (PocketInformant) to assign the category for this contact again. This is quite clumsy to me. Is there hack (on registry)/ any plugins that can helps?
Many thanks!

I've done a bunch of searching and can't find the answer for this phone.
Does anyone know how we can select just "My Contacts" instead of "All Contacts" with regards to syncing the Google contact list?
There's gotta be a way. I'm going to check the option to only show contacts with phone numbers but frankly, that option kind of sucks. There should be a better way to do this.
i have the same issue and can't find any setting to sync only My Contacts.
What is even more annoying is that it does not sync the groups i have set in google contacts

I can't find any options to add groups or add contacts to groups. I have only 2 groups listed - google and corporate with no options.
I think Touchwiz completely borked groups.
Yeah, it seems to be a problem with touchwiz because my buddy who's got an EVO has the option available.
Yeah, this is probably the only thing on the Captivate that I haven't been able to fix. It syncs every random Google contact I have, whereas other Android phones I've had would only sync the "My Contacts" group.
You can set contacts to only display people with numbers, if that helps.
You can create groups. Open Contacts then hit menu, create. Then when you open the group there will be an add member on the screen. For existing groups with members, you have to hit menu and then add member to add more.
The other thing is that I keep losing contacts randomly.
I don't understand why this is happening, it's quite frustrating

I still can't follow;
I open contacts and hit create and I get an overlay "save contact to" with 4 choices:
Phone
Sim
Corporate
Google
Only if i choose phone and scroll to the bottom is there an group field (shows unassigned).
EDIT - if i select the group i go to an empty box, but i can hit menu and create a group. Unfortunately every group or contact I create assigned to phone (not corp or google) becomes hidden. If I try to create group with the same name, it says it exists. Trying to create a new contact in "phone" still gives me empty group list.
So TouchWiz is hiding some stuff/data in the interface. Very bizarre.

I forget a step, sorry. You have to select groups after opening contacts.
I used the free AT&T Address Book feature on this phone to create all my contacts on the phone. I then have them linked to my Corporate contacts, Gmail and Facebook. This allows me to assign custom ringtones and manage my contacts using all the features of the phone.
To use the AT&T Address I had to export my contacts from Outlook to a CSV file. I then imported them via the AT&T website (addressbook.att.net). Now I have all my contacts as phone contacts and no longer have the SNS restrictions.
Hi,
I would like to ask if it's possible to add, customize the Call apps and Contacts apps (which are default) in Android.
My idea is that when you open the Contact list, click on someone there, the screen will display information (Number, Call, SMS now) and I want to add another button under all, so that when you hit, it'll call the user via VOIP or do some function ...
Is it possible to customize the default apps? is there somewhere that I can have the source code of these apps?
What I really need is to add some more function into the Calls apps and Contacts apps but I really don't know where to begin it
Someone can help me?
Thanks in advance
Just realized i cannot block incoming calls / messages on this device? Used to be able to do it on my last 3 handsets but not this? This sucks as its a feature that should come with ALL handsets in my opinion! In a world where where bullying is rife and one f the methods used to bully is texting , let alone just general harassment from unwanted numbers and so forth ! To have a feature that enables you to take control and block this kinda crap is vital if you ask me! I understand to some people this may be no big deal but i see this as a huge disappointment!!
However,i assume theres little i can do about it so does anyone know of any trust worth and reliable apps that will do the same job?
I've not had a phone that could do it natively but my last three phones were Nexus devices so I always had CM or SlimROM which add this feature. sorry to hear you suffer abusive messages, I only needed it for blocking sales calls and crap like that.
There are a few apps in the Play Store that will do this but I hear good things about this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vladlee.easyblacklist
Apparently it does have a bug though where it drops an active call if a blocked call or message comes in at the same time.
You can add a number to your phone book then select "All calls to voicemail" in the contacts app.
1. Add the contact.
2. Go to dialer, swipe to the contacts
3. Edit the contact
4. Press the 3 dots on the top right
5. Select box - "all calls to voicemail"
This is the only option I can find for calls. Not ideal though as they can leave a message
As for texts, maybe an alternative text app?

Cheers man, thats summit i guess! Not ideal though as you said! I use textra as my default sms app but unfortunately no block feature on that either! I think vodafone have an app i can download. I might look in to that Needless to say this is only available to vodafone customers so i might be lucky as iam one
now you can block sms on your expiria z
What I did? I just downloaded an app from Play store named CLEAN INBOX, Installed it and made it as my default sms provider. Then I upgraded it to premium version for 0.79€. Premium version automaticaly blocks and deleats all unwanted sms from your inbox. Then I disabled my default sms provider. You can do it in settings / apps/ sms / and disable it or force stop. Your phone will be fully functional without it. Good luck and rnjoy your phone without any disturbers
