Is there a way to combine contact list? Im still little new to android phoness (had a Touch Pro 2) and i guess it is set up to show list from your phone and any google account seperate. When i add a new contact i have to choose one list or the other....is there a way to either have both phone list synced/merge or for me to save the new contact on both list? I would really only like to deal with one list is possible. Thanks
it sets it up to show all at once. you can choose to see which account contacts to display but defualt, its all merged

is there an application that makes the BA able to add contacts from an sms message the way nokia phones do? i know this function exists in O2 plus but that lacks a lot of functionality.all youre able to do is add a first and last name. what could be much more functional would be something that opens up your default contacts PIM and lets you add all the details you need to add. anyone?

I am coming from a Vibrant so am not all that familiar with Vanilla android, is there any way to get contacts to sync with Facebook? I liked how on the Vibrant I could link all my phone contacts with their facebook accounts so there photos would be updated, also have quick access to their fb pages, but mostly for throwing in all their pictures. I see you can add FB friends into contacts on the phone but I dont see a way to link the FB friends contact info with their phone number? Is there any way to link them? I dont want to have two seperate contacts (one for phone number and one for FB) for each person in my "contacts" tab.
Thanks
When I first opened the Facebook app, it asked if I wanted to sync all friends to contacts, sync information to existing contacts, or skip syncing.
I chose to sync with existing contacts and it only added pictures and Facebook links to the contacts.

I have that set too but some of the people in my contacts arent put in as first name and last name, but just first name or a nick name, on the Vibrant I could just link the fb contact and the phone contact together if the names werent exactly the same, doesnt seem like thats an option on this phone?

In that case... go to Contacts :ress and hold contact's name::: > EDIT CONTACT > then Press MENU > JOIN.
you should see a list of suggested names from your facebook contacts.....
If the one you want isn't listed there.... try changing either first name or last name or both... (you dont have to save) and then press MENU > JOIN .... again.... and it should come up...

awesome, thank you so much! thats exactly what i was looking for
Anyone using launcher pro, i notice that even though it syncs with facebook and puts the pics in the contacts tab, it doesnt put the contact into the contact picture when you edit the contact so as a result, doesnt put it into the "people" widget
nm turns out its a known launcher pro issue
Gmail automatically adds contacts you've emailed into your contact list, they belong to "All Contacts" group.
Manually added contacts belong to "My Contacts" group.
But I couldn't get the phone to display *only* "My Contacts". (Contacts -> Hide/Show -> Google...)
Tried Googling the issue, solutions available but don't seem to work on Defy/Motorola.
Any idea?
Thx in advance.
Anyone...?
I have the same problem, which I posted to the Motorola Owners forums as well, only I don't just want to not display those contacts, but prevent then from syncing as well. I can't yet post working links:

After syncing my new Defy with my Google account, I've found all the contacts in the phone - not just the meaningful ones from My Contacts that have phone numbers and names - but every last single email address has created a separate contact in the phone.
My question is this: how can I limit the synced contacts to a group, like My Contacts in GMail?

So far, I have not found a way to limit the display or the syncing of these contacts.
There are 2 apps for contacts, the one that is embedded in the dialer (the one that SUCKS), and the other is a stand alone Contacts which allows yo Manage groups in a certain way. I'd like to have good one embedded in the Dialer next to Recent and Favorites.. but im no dev. An certainly is annoying having to switch between them.

Hi.I recently change my Note with Note 2.
On Note 1 I was able to add separate mailboxes for every account that I have. In Note 2 I did not found this feature. I am able to add only one mailbox icon wich contains all mailboxes.
How can I add separate mailboxes for every account that I have
Anyone, any ideea?
Are you referring to email? If so, K9Mail is the force You can also add multiple google accounts to the gmail program.
Hi,
When you configure 2 different mail ids, you get 2 different inboxes. To see them separately, tap on the inbox box on top, and you get a drop down menu giving you the choice of combined inbox and 2 separate inboxes for the 2 accounts.
Cheers!!!!
Please take a look at picture from the first post. As you can see I can add directly to desktop that mailbox that I need. If I click one of them it will bring me directly to that one. On note 1 I have that option in Widgets/ Email account. When I select that one I can select the mailbox that I want, wich allows me to have individual shortcut for each mailbox
Hey all,
All of my email and calendar settings are correct, and I am sync'd with the Exchange/ActiveSync for work. When trying to create a calendar invite it will show correctly in my Outlook client as well. The issue I am having is when creating a calendar invite on the phone itself - it doesn't give an option to mark it as private. After you've created the event and go to view it - it shows Privacy as "default". If you click "edit" on the event you don't seem to get the option to change it.
I know there are options for rooted phones, (I searched to the best of my ability) but wanted to see about a stock GS3 (you know how it is, work phone).
Any ideas or different calendar suggestions are more than welcome. Thank you for the help.
