On the Epic's Messaging app, I noticed if I type on the "To:" field none of my facebook contacts show up at all. But then i go to the actual Contacts app and click on their contact and it has the message option. If I click it, It'll send the message and everything but instead of showing their name in the thread it just shows the phone number.
The only fix I've had so far is re add the number and link it to their facebook. But It would take too long to do that for all contacts.
Any way of fixing this?

You'll probably find this facebook contact uses something stupid like 'hahaha' as their number on facebook rather than leaving it blank or putting in a real phone number. Remove syncing of facebook contacts from the settings > accounts and sync > Facebook for HTC (can't remember the name of it), reboot and your facebook contacts should no longer show in your phone, if that doesn't work remove the account from friendstream and reboot. I only use the Facebook for Android app, so removing my account from the HTC app didn't cause my any problems.

Yes you do, but short of messaging these contacts and asking them to either clear or enter a correct number, I don't know another way around it.
I have an issue with my phone showing me all GMAIL contacts, as we know gmail seems to add every single email you have sent emails to on your contact list, so I see all of these.
I want to see my gmail contacts, but really only phone numbers. Can I do this in the messages app?
The display option in the contacts app doesn't affect the messages app.
Is there any way to change this behavior?
In the stock sense mms app, across various roms, my contacts aren't showing up properly. All of my contacts are setup to sync through google voice. When i got to type the name of the recipient, it doesn't show up so I click the contact button next to the address bar and it only shows my non saved gmail contacts like random emails I've sent out, etc...
Hi guys, anyone here using the standard Sony messaging app ... when you go to "add recipient" (by pressing the three dots ...) to bring up your contacts list, is there any way that I can display only phone numbers?
It is showing every single contact including email addresses and duplicate numbers all on their own separate line. This is really annoying if I want to browse my contacts list, because it is so damn long! Like 400 items to scroll through!
When i go into my contacts via the phone/calling app, it has a bunch of options to "filter" by phone numbers but does not affect how the messaging app displays the contacts.
Anyone else get this issue?
For some strange reason I still haven't figured out, all my contacts are double entries in the stock "Contacts" or "Dialer" app. One of the 2 entries is the normal one, and the other consist only for whatsapp. I don't understand why it's seperate on this phone. Never had this problem before.
How can I fix this? I know there's an option to hide the Whatsapp numbers (unchecked in "what to show" option in Dialer/Contacts), but that will take also the conveniance of quickly selecting someone out of contacts to call or message via whatsapp.

This is how i do it... go to Contacts and go to the Whatsapp contact, you have to press the edit icon, and it asks you to join the number.. after that it says it's joined, then you see it's one Contact only.

Your contacts library is sync to Gmail or reside in phone storage or saved in SIM card?
I have noticed exactly the same issue.
All my contacts are in Gmail.
You can merge duplicate contacts in contacts settings.

We can always display Gmail contacts only. Goto:
Contacts > three-dots icon > Contacts to display > Select Gmail account.

Yes, but the only downside is that if you search a contact, all copies (double, triple, ...) Are shown again.:cyclops:
