Using exchange activesync on my Dinc to get my work email, and noticed some weird behavior. when composing an email using the stock email app on cm7, I can type a contact name in the to: field and it will search the global address list, but no matter that name I use it only returns 19 results, where as my co-workers iphone will show all of the related contacts.
is there any way to show more contacts? has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks for your input.

Hi guys. Hope you can help me out.
I am running an un-rooted un-branded Vodafone HTC Desire with the official Froyo update.
My question is this. I while ago I sent an email to an incorrect email address I manually entered in the "to" field.
Now when I start typing email addresses it often prompts me to select the incorrect email address. How do I remove it?? It's not part of a contact and says it's in "History". Email address history?
I sync with gmail contacts and facebook contacts too. It's not in either of those.
Lastly I want to sync with facebook for HTC Sense for status updates but not for contacts. Is there a way of seperating them? In Settings>Accounts and Sync I can just turn Facebook for HTC Sense on/off. Not specify anything else.
bump! Anyone?!
Same problem here
I've been hopping around other android forums reading the same problem and no one has an answer. Theres gotta be a way to clear this history. Its pretty annoying. I tried clearing data, clearing cache from the settings>applications, installed a clear history app, nothing works.
Anyone?
Thanks sumadeez. Please can a moderator make this a sticky thread until resolved???
Just some detail to add to the issue from my experience -
Im running an unrooted HTC EVO using the native HTC Mail app running Froyo.
The problem also appears when you try to 'add' a new email account to HTC mail. When you start typing the first letter of the email address, it appears in a historical drop down as a choice. Seems like the unwanted email address only appear within an 'email formatted input field'.
I also thought it was part of the custom dictionary that gets saved when you type, but its not in that list either.
Could it still be in your sent mail somewhere?
Re: Facebook for Sense, do you want status updates for yourself or your friends status updates? If its your updates, use the Android app, for your friends use Sense and select your own picture for contacts. Hope it helps
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
I checked and deleted all sent mail..still shows up.
When I flash CM6/CM7 on my EVO, I am able to send emails to anyone in my Exchange/Active Sync directory. The contacts do not show up in my contacts app, but when I enter a name of a co-worker in the "TO" field in email, all associated names in the company directory show up. *which is expected*
However, when I go back to stock ROM (HTC Sense), and setup my Exchange/Active Sync stuff, co-workers in the company directory do not show up as they do when running an AOSP ROM. I made sure "sync contacts" is selected but nothing works.
Has anyone else experienced this, or know of a fix?
I am using the default email app with both ROMS, and setting up the email correctly.
I can send and receive email just fine. All of my work calendar items are visible, and do sync. It's just the contacts I am having trouble with.
Thanks.
Previously posted in Synergy thread with no resolution/suggestions.
Background
I have contacts synched from my Exchange account (I need to access work email, etc.)
I also have contacts synched from my main google account. In google, under Contacts, the "My Contacts" subdivision are identical to the Exchange contacts. There are no duplicates on either list of contacts.
On my phone, under "search people" I see all contacts, including random people from gmail's of past. This is normal. Under the People App, I see a list of my exchange contacts (which also happens to be the same list as my "My Contacts" sub-list from Google Contacts). There are no duplicates seen here either.
Question
However, when I begin to type a text and start to enter the name of the person to send a text to, the auto complete showing matching names shows DUPLICATES of every entry. So for example, I type Tom, I would get two Tom Mobile numbers and Two Tom Home numbers where it should be only one for each (1 Tom home, 1 Tom Mobile). Is this normal behavior for Sense/SMS 3.0? I did not have this issue with my prior stock ROM. If not, how would you suggest resolving it?

the only time i see a duplicate is when i type in a name of someone i called recently, and the numbers are one digit different, i original being the real number, and "duplicate" being the one with a "1" in front of it

Right, that is expected behavior. When I start to type a name in the text input I get two of each and every number showing up in the drop down. But as I said, no duplicates when I browse through "people" app.

I only get duplicates in this sense as well. I think it even says recent in front of them or by it. I also get a duplicated text "wording"if trying to attach a pic within a text. It seems sending from gallery works the best for mms.

There is a "history" listing which is also normal behavior. So for example, If I'd previously typed TOM, when I got to enter T-O, you will see TOM (history next to hit) and again the TOM result. Only I also see an exact duplicate for that TOM again just below it which really shouldn't be there (should it?). I do not believe it was like this in Stock. My only guess is the identical contacts from Exchange and Google (My Contacts) have both been synched over and SMS 3.0 doesn't filter the duplicate entries from showing like the "People" app correctly does. This is why there are no duplicates under "people" app but they do appear in text name entry drop down.
Based on other threads: http://androidforums.com/htc-desire/113907-duplicate-contacts-when-texting-calling.html & http://androidforums.com/droid-x-support-troubleshooting/400279-duplicate-contacts-all-sms-apps.html it looks like others have noticed this issue too. It's not ROM specific but seems to be a GB and/or Sense 3.0/SMS issue? Apparently this IS the standard behavior of a GB rom I guess? I do not recall having this issue with stock Froyo rom. Unless someone else with both identical exchange and google contacts has figured out how to avoid it.
Besides Gmail, I also am using Exchange Mail through my Comcast account.
This is what I have experienced and wonder if there is a solution.
After having loaded my mail and having read it on the GN, after some time of receiving new messages, the old messages that I have kept drop off the bottom. Then some time later, I get a new email notification and it is one of the previously read emails and it shows up as not having been read. Is anybody else experiencing this?
Also, I had a DroidX before and was able to select all messages from the settings to delete them without having to individually select each one to delete. Is this a feature that went away in ICS?
Thanks for your responses.
Hey all,
I've had this issue ever since I've been using Samsung phones with TouchWiz. The issue is that when I send mail it shows it as coming from my hotmail USER NAME instead of my hotmail display name. This means that instead of my first name and last name (John Smith) showing up in the from field when I send an email, it shows up as jsmith. This issue seems to have been around forever. It works fine with my work exchange account though. Any ideas, help, solutions etc?
Thanks,
Tawheed
