Question Duplicated numbers on car dashboard - Google Pixel 7 Pro

When I connect the Pixel 7 PRO via BT with my cars' dashboard, I see for each contact the same mobile number duplicated twice.
When using car's voice command "call XYZ" I am always prompted with a list of two equal numbers and I am asked to select which number to call.
This happens with all my cars (different brands) and only with mobile numbers (if a contact has a mobile and a landline, I see three numbers: twice the mobile and once the landline).
This does not happen with contacts whose phone number is not associated to WhatsApp (yes, I have a couple of contacts that do not have WhatsApp...), so I believe it must have something to do with WhatsApp.

I think there is an option to merge contacts in the contacts app, never used it though.

That's not the problem

I think whatsapp calling is causing this, phone knows what these 2 numbers mean but for car it is 2 different numbers, differect accounts etc. For my case Audi mmi shows 2 numbers for each contact but Android Auto shows one for normal cell calling number and one for whatsapp calling number.
Fun fact; when you select whatsapp number in Android auto it really does calling from whatsapp, using no cell, well cell data ofc.

Exactly same situation and yes as I wrote it must be WhatsApp...
Was hoping for a solution ...

Well, i do recommend against deleting those numbers which I tried and failed miserable as Whatsapp quickly re sync those numbers.
Also don't try to delete contact list from car, because it is the car that does not understand which means what.
Imo Google should have a setting to what to send for bt devices. So you can select only Google contacts for car but not other things.
Btw it was worse when "meet", "hangouts" and other apps were installed. There was tones of numbers and it was so annoying.

Well I have WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business, and as you can see Android combines the three contacts Inyo one, yet I see only two equal numbers and not three.

With [email protected] installed and running, if you leave your phone at home, you'll have no messages and phone calls missed at all!
How it works:
1. start the app and keep it running background, waiting for specific SMS commands
2. if you left your phone at home, just use another phone nearby to send a command to your phone to initiate the service (you'll get feedbacks if the function is enabled in Settings )
3. all SMSs received at home will be forwarded to the phone you want, and everyone who calls your phone will be notified the reachable number
4. you may stop the service at anytime
I think this is an usefull app, nice idea!
I have not tried it, but a suggestion:
if a specified command is received via sms, turn on data connection, wifi or network (I always have off it), and send mail to specified address that report sms and calls lost.
This is because sometimes you can have Internet access, but not a phone to redirect calls.
Thank you very much for your great suggestion! Am working on the data connection right now. Just like you mentioned, we can get logs from a data connection in the web page later
Sorry I have not understand this point:

Only now I have see that it is a paid app so... I will not try it
Furthermore I have problem with my phone and I can't install anything.
Anyway another thought, perhaps you have already done, but I have not saw, in the case excuse me: specify number of second phone in the sms command, it could be different every time and I know it only when realize that have forgot my [email protected]
currently, you have two ways of specifying the forwarding number, the first one: you can type it in Settings, it is recommended if you have two daily phones; the other way, by default, the app will take the number from which you send the commands. So, it is pretty flexible.
You cannot use xda to sell/advertise paid applications. You can provide either a lite version or a free version for the community, but under XDA rules promotion of paid software is not allowed.
oh my.. So sorry about violating the rule... should 've read the rules carefully. apology. pls lock/move/delete this thread.

SMS on TF-101G

Hi all
I just got a message from my friend that he recieved an update yesterday night from Asus for his TF-101G which he bought from taiwan. Apparently the update had a sms system, and he is able to use it to sms to a phone. not whatsapp or viber but through gsm network.
I was wondering if it is able to integrate with our wifi Transformer "rooted" with 3G dongle installed. As previously I tried to activate whatsapp, and the sms got sent over into my dongle, thus activating whatsapp. The current dongle I am using is the huawei e1550, and specs shows that there is GSM radio installed inside.
Was wondering if anyone is interested to follow up?
Thanks.

Not having a G-variant, i am lazy. I just run TexTab on my phone and ASUS, and use that for texting. Very useful as well since that gives me the same number and the thread is for view on the phones SMS app - perfect for having to go away from Tablet.
TexTab basically uses the phone via Bluetooth for texting goodness.
why not just text with google voice through wifi? It's much easier and works out of the box. Plus you can save all your texts and it syncs your conversations with your phone and web browser, which I think makes it much more useful.
Well I currently do not have access to a google voice account at the moment, was considering if sms is viable why not use it?

Give or take limitations once you go past sitting in the USA and texting other people in the USA, you can only send like 150 texts per contact within so many hours, unless it's done via forwarding through a real cellphone. From what I could tell, the Android app has the same limitation as the web interface.
I found this out because the first month my fiancee and I were texting, we exchanged almost 10,000 SMS, and still average like 7,000+ .

[Scholarship] I wish there was an app that...

It would be magnificent if there was an app that could answer your phone calls. Let me explain by giving you a short example. Would it not be something if you could record a brief message before you head into your shower knowing your friend, mom, dad, whoever it might be, is going to call you? Then your phone would automatically answer your call and play the message for them. It would be very useful if you just needed to tell them something that would take a minute, but they were busy at the moment and it was too complicated to send it through text/email. Let us say that you are driving and somebody calls you. What then? If you answer you run the risk of an accident, but if you had the app, then you could put it in driving mode before you start driving. When this option is implemented, the previously recorded message for driving mode would play and repeat it to anyone driving. This amazing app that would keep us safe and be very useful at times would be called, Ansmart!

There is a picture on the link that explains my reaction.
To be more helpful, did you know you can also just ignore the phone call while driving or taking a shower?
Did you know you can also turn the volume off when you don't want to be disturbed?
In all seriousness, you can set up voice mail or a Google voice number, and then set your phone to forward call to that number with and automated response that you are busy.
You can also go under settings. Call settings.all calls. Reject call with message or auto forwarding.
No app needed....neat huh?
I use Google Voice for most of this functionality. You can set up custom messages pretty easily for certain people, groups, etc. And as qkster said, just don't answer the phone while you're driving, taking a shower, on the throne, etc.. People will understand, and most likely appreciate it.
In addition to being able to set up custom messages for groups, etc. on GV, there are other benefits. Free SMS is one that I use quite a bit. Also, one Google Voice number can be set to ring multiple phones. This is handy for me, since I have a very weak cell signal at home. Since my Google Voice number is set to ring both my home phone and my cell, I have a Tasker profile set to turn my cell antenna off and WiFi on when my home WiFi network is near. Since GV rings my home phone, I don't miss any calls. GrooveIP is also a good program to use with Google Voice, as it lets you make calls over WiFi using your Google Voice number.
EDIT: By the way, the OP looks a lot like

Hello!
Recently, I install Lineage OS 14.1 to my Asus Zenfone 2 ZE551ML.

I really don't understand what these numbers. How can I fix this please help me.
Is your contacts list linked with your Google contacts?
Sent from my HTC 2PZC100 using Tapatalk
All my contacts in my Google acc. but I checked my Google acc. there is no one like that.
And these numbers only visible while my internet connection open and I have this problem only stock app.
Try going to the settings of the contact app and selecting 'Telephone contacts' as the only contacts visible (at the option choose contact appearance)
I will use another app but I just wonder what are these
I've been having the same behavior on my phone but I've not been able to find anything about how or why this is happening. I'm running Lineage OS 14, latest nightly, on a Motorola X Pure.
I noticed it months ago. Any time I search my contacts (American here with no international contacts or any sort of friends or acquaintances anywhere but the US), I get results from what appears to be German White Pages under the results from my phone.
Anyway, if I find out why this happens, I'll post back here. You are not alone!
The phone numbers I'm seeing while searching my contacts are mostly from Austria, although I have no contacts there. Apparently LineageOS performs lookups via some web service which prefers to search numbers from Austria.
My vpn firewall reported that my android dialer wanted to access the following two domains
lamp01.compass.apa.net
lamp02.compass.apa.net
ips are 91.195.199.126 and 91.195.199.127.
These IPs are also used by auskunft.at.
I guess you see phone numbers from the phone number lookup service, which is enabled by default.
Disable the lookup service in dialer settings and I believe the unknown contacts will disappear.
I only found one semi related bug report:
BUGBASH-612
( I'm not allowed to post the URL)
Also in my case (Lineage OS 14.1) the phone number lookup was enabled by default. It can be switched off by opening the phone app → Settings (click on the three vertical dots to the right of the search bar) → Phone number lookup
See attached screenshot
just noticed this with my OnePlus 3T running TugaPower 19 Android 8.1.0 LineageOS 15.1
google reports that auskunft{dot}at "this site may be hacked"
what a region specific POS to include with all builds of Lineage!

Question Samsung contacts: insert address

When inserting address in GOOGLE contacts app, you just type in a single line (part of) the address and the apps queries Google Maps to let you choose the address. Any way to enable something similar for SAMSUNG contacts app?
Any idea here, pls?
Samsung contact app is not that sofesticated. but if you add a post code or any part of the address manually then a map button allows you to use activate the default map app.
Maybe use Google contact to fill contact address and then swap to Samsung as default
Or just use Google Contacts which is the better app. I tried using all Samsung apps and found it to be too much of a compromise.
I use Samsung Notes and My Files, the rest are google apps. It sucks but it's the price you pay for owning a Samsung device.

Unfortunately using Google Phone or Contacts on Samsung is annoying if you have dual sim: Samsung allows three choices-
- sim 1
- sim 2
- always ask
I chose always ask because I need control yet when calling a contact for the first time, you are asked which sim to use but there's no way to set a default sim upon this first call: on my former pixel I had an option to check "always use this sim", which is missing on Samsung.
In Samsung contacts there's a handy feature to assign in batch a default sim for chosen numbers, in Google contacts you have to do this contact by contact.
Update: never mind, all of a sudden the option to set default calling sim is now present when I call this contact for the first time...
And also Google Messages behaves strange: when selecting a contact for the first time as destination , I am prompted with two numbers from this contacts, same numbers but one with space and one without
