Long story short:
I'm leaving my current job soon. But I'm saving every important person's name email and number in my phone in case I will need them someday.
I wanna save them all in a seperate group.
The thing is, now all of them show up in the main HTC People list. I want to find them only in the group when I need to. Not in the entire People list.
not a lot you can do about this. i have tried and asked all over the place. if you have them in gmail you can only sync over all of 'my contacts' or none, groups
I have the same problem.
Please star this Issue, so google will add it in future.

Okay, I know there are two different "applications" for contacts on the TP2.
1. Is the standard Contacts app.
2. Is the "new" All People app.
In the contacts app, you can 'group' your contacts by Company or just display by name. In my TP1 I had it grouped by Company. I really liked it because I could have businesses and such hidden in each category that way I didn't have to go threw all the contacts to find someone in the middle. With the 'new' All People app, that option is grayed out for me on the USCC TP2. I really like the All People app because I have the facebook contacts synced and such. So, my question is, is there a way to get the All People app to group by Company as well?
*I hope I didn't confuse anyone and if you don't understand or need more information please feel free to ask.*
What happened to that option from the G1 where you could choose only to sync contacts from a certain group. I don't want to see the hundreds of email contacts i have from random people that i replied to at some point in the last couple years. And I only want to see the contacts in a group I created for my phone.
Sense phones don't have that option in the Android 2.1 version, unfortunately. i've posted on the forums asking how to do it and they won't respond.
Are there any workarounds for this issue? I have 150+ contacts and would love to only sync my "Coworkers" and "Family" groups, for example.
The "Sync Groups" option sounds like exactly what I need on my EVO.
I too have been looking for this option.. I was very excited to find that I could selectively "sync groups" only to see that it is NOT available on the EVO. Anyone know of any specific ROMS that might bring this option back?
Just received my Desire HD and after 1st sync I noticed a message saying "Matched contacts suggestion" with a list of some of my contacts...can anyone advise what this does?
If you're talking about when you link contacts, then I believe it just links certain contacts together into the same contact. You have to check through them though, because sometimes they may be trying to link two different people into the same contact.
Yeah, for example it may suggest you to link a Facebook contact to a phone contact, and if it is the same guy, you will see his Facebook updates when he/she calls you etc.
Yes, linked contact...its strange though as I dont have duplicates, so not sure why it would try to link some contacts...under what criteria? Thanks anyway.

assumedly you've signed into facebook or twitter.
What it's doing is going through your social network friends list and saying "Aha! I have that name in the phonebook. They probably don't want them in there twice, so I'll ask if they want me to link them"
As I'm signed into facebook and twitter via the app and via sense, some of my contacts have 4 links! It's so much better than having 5 contacts in my phonebook for each person
yes, that would make sense..but I dont have facebook or twitter (probably only person on the planet)..I did find in my google contacts online, that as well as "My Contacts", there was a group made called "Other contacts", which had copy of all my contacts, so I deleted the group..everything was ok for a while then I got message again asking if i want to link some contacts..weird.
even worse: no info whatsoever is given with regards to what it means if you tap the name and it becomes green? Do you eed to tap all of them?
pull down the notification bar and open the linked contacts (if its still asking you) and it'll tell you who it thinks can be linked...you can choose to accept or discard the suggestion. simple
and don't worry you can always unlink contacts later should you wish to.
Get it again
Hello,
I received this question also and I was selecting all my links one by one.
I thought what if I do 'dismiss all', then maybe I can 'select all' after that..
But all my suggestions where gone..
How can I get all the suggestions again?.. I have many contacts..
Thanks in advance from The Netherlands.
Best regards,
Johan Groeneveld
anyone any idea how to make the Motoblur contact names the ones that appear by default.
I uploaded a .vcf from my old Sony Ericsson with all the proper names to motoblur, then linked certain contacts with the twitter built in thing.
So if the name was Marc in the phonebook, now it takes the twitter name of marco1999
The Contacts app makes the right choices most of the time, but it also has a mind of it's own in how it decides what to name the resulting linked contacts. All things being equal, the currently viewed contact is being linked to another contact and it assumes that contact's name. Simple enough, unless the linked to contact does not have an email, or web site URLs, AND the viewed contact does, in which case the resulting contact will assume the name of the currently viewed contact (the one that's being linked to the other contact).
I got my contacts linked from 7 different places, and some of the contacts would have just a phone #, some just a website URL, and so on. The only way to reign in the order (names) I wanted that I resorted to was to keep unlinking, then renaming some contacts and then re-linking them back again. It took some manual work, but not as much as I feared, and maybe there's a simpler way, but this is what worked for me.
Good luck.
thanks for that, unfortunately, no matter what I do, it always takes the twitter name for profiles. I think maybe it's because Twitter is the picture source for contacts. I tried adding a picture to the phone contact, but the twitter name still overrides it.
In contact edit, there's even a nickname function - I hoped this would take precedence over everything, but unfortunately not!
I have three groups Family, Friends and Cooworkers.
Most of my contacts fall in a group above but some in none (eg. my barber) and I don't want to over-organize things.
I want the contacts/dialer to show all contacts, except from group Cooworkers.
Any ideas on how to achieve this?
1) I've tried setting the filter to Family, Friends - and sure Cooworker don't show but neither do unassigned.
2) If I include the group "My Contacts" - EVERYTHING is shown, regardless of other filters (how is that a feature?)
If I go with 1) then I have to remember to add new contacts to a group and frankly, I don't trust myself to do that.
So that's no option.
BEST would be if there'd be another group called "Unassigned" and I could then just tick Family, Friends, Unassigned...
How do I achieve this functionality?
Any other app capable of this?
Ideas?
