Google contact vs HTC People on Z roms - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone know how to make google the default phone book to save contacts too, instead of HTC people?

Your question is not clear.. You have the option to save your contacts on the phone itself.. or on google.. there is practically no advantage to saving your contacts on the phone.. but plenty of advantages by saving contacts to google.. since it stores and syncs it with your gmail account online.. .

Thats what i mean, when i go to save the contact, it doesnt prompt to save to google, just phone

There is a drop-down where you can select Google or Phone. Do you have and are you logged into your Google account via your phone?

Re flashed the rom, and took my time and paid attention, and it looks like it saved to Google this time, but my last install wouldn't allow me. IDK, but thanks alot for the help.

Removing Downloaded Mail from the Gmail App

Hey guys.
I'm trying to figure out how to do 1 of 2 things.
1. Is there a way to Remove the GMail and Mail App alltogether *Without breaking anything*? If I recall, I didn't think there was a way without breaking sync support for calendar and contacts.
2. If the above cannot be done, is there a way to keep the GMail app from actually syncing your mail, and removing any mail that it was allready sync up? I've allready disabled syncing in account settings.
I installed K9 mail, and rather use that, so that ALL my e-mail is uniform. (I have like 6 e-mail address's. haha)
it should be in teh settings, remove automatically sync...that should do it. i dont know why urs keeps syncing

Is there a way for me to change the default pictures or maybe hide them?
Also, is there a way to add a scroll bar to that list? I miss being able to skip to say, the "M" names in a few seconds.
I am wondering the same thing. I miss navigating the iPhone dialer because you can just tap on the alphabet and it'll bring you right to where you wanted to be.
*A shameful self bump*
there are other contact managers in the marketplace, you could give them a try. i havnt really messed around with any, so i cant really recommend anything.
what i would suggest is to use your groups, manage your friends in a friends group, family, work and so on... that way you dont have to scroll through large number of contacts... the nice thing about using groups is that you can quickly send mass texts or emails...and if you use google voice you can have different voicemails based on the different groups.

The People app....

Loving the phone so far. One issue (aside from the low res photos) is syncing with Google +. I have quite a few friends on there and everything is set to sync. On my PC in the circle I am most interested is 10 people. On the phone that circle shows 0 people. Now if I go to the people app and choose to display by Google+ contact, some people show up but not others. I have manually removed and added people over and over, and forced the phone to sync over and over but nothing is working. I even went to google contacts and added peoples profile information there but no joy. Linkedin worked flawlessly, as did Twitter. Aside from trying to uninstall google+ and reinstall, anyone had the same issue or any fixes?
EDIT: Turns out I can not delete the app anyway......
Also if I go to the Circle on my phone it says "10 people" in the top left yet also says no people on the very same page.........

[Q] Declutter your Android Calendar

UPDATED
I have done some more playing around and found that if you change the setting in Facebook itself to "Hide Declined Events" this also hides them in the exported calendar URL.
Problem fixed!

Hey Team
I have looked all over and found lots of treads on changing what shows up on your phones Calendar but none are quite what im looking for,
what I want is for the Android Calendar to show only the Facebook Events I have accected or not resonded to yet and my standard Google calandar.
What I have tried:
Syncing with all of Facebook: This brings the Events you have accepted and Not answered yet but it also bring every single friends Bithday over, filling you calendar/Agenda with junk
Exporting the FaceBook Cal via URL: This brings over the events without the Birthdays but has ALL events even the ones you have declinded
Does anyone know a way to get the accecpted events (and the not yet replied if possiable) without the BIrthday reminders?
Thanks heaps
P.S Can a MOD please remove this if you think this will not help others,
Thanks

activesync contacts not stored on device for offline usage

Hi there,
I am using the 10.5 Tab S wifi-only with unofficial Cyanogenmod. As backend I am using a Horde groupware server with Activesync support. Everything seems to work fine, but I have a problem with my activesync contacts. The stock contacts app doesn't display any contacs, although I selected to display all contacts (including local and exchange contacts). Someone could assume that the exchange contacts aren't synced. However, when I use the magnifier icon to search for contacts, the result list does in deed show my exchange contacts. Furthermore, as soon as I turn off wifi the search doesn't work any more. So it seems contacts are searched online only and no information is stored locally.
Any idea how to solve this?
Here some screenshots:
