When dialing a Facebook contact from Contacts, Call Log or LPP People Widget, the dial pad appears with that contact's # & picture but the dialing attempt ends & I get a message of "Call has been lost".
I first noticed this after flashing CM7 N96. I've seen it on N98-N101.
From poking around several forums, I'm confident the problem is that Facebook contact phone #s import with +1 at the beginning. If I edit the contact to create a separate contact, without +1, I have no problem getting calls to dial.
I don't want to do that for over 200 contacts.
Does anybody know away to keep FB #s from importing in that format?
Anybody else seen this happen?
I find it strange that I can only find a handful of posts about it anywhere. Nobody has a solution except to change each contact.
Thanks, in advance.

Yes. The best method is to not import Facebook contacts.

I think it's still a bug. Using the plus sign as a callout prefix has been an accepted standard for many years and my cheap $10 feature phone can handle it cleanly. I find that this bug exists in all derivatives of CM 7 based ROMS but doesn't seem to exist in the Froyo based versions.

I noticed a similar issue when I used to run CM 7.2. I didn't have any of my Facebook contacts imported, though. Not sure what the problem was, but I'm on Deck's Reloaded now and haven't had the same issue.

I recently upgraded to the new official European wm6.5 sense 2.5 rom. While trying to get my head around the new slow default text messaging app I noticed that when I go to add a recipient, the contact list displays my sim contacts as well as a separate entry for different numbers of the same person. For instance, if I have someone called Alex with both a home number and a mobile number entered, the contact list will display it as two separate contacts. I should also add that I have disabled showing sim contacts using advanced config, and they don't show in the "normal" contact list, just in the messaging one.
As you can imagine, this makes navigating through the contacts much more untidy and time consuming.
Any help will be appreciated
is there no one else with this problem? I was hoping there would be a reg fix or something to sort this out like we've had before

Nope, as I don't use the sim for contacts. I would suggest that you do the same too, no more problemo.

I dont use sim either.. ive disabled it on the normal contact list. But it seems to show up in the messaging contact list as well as home numbers and email addresses and these are not all grouped under a single contact.

In that case, sounds like you need to go into the sim manager and delete the numbers off the sim, if that doesn't work, get your provider to do you a new sim.
Hi,
I found a strange little bug with the HTC Sense People app.
I have all my contacts synced from my Google Account but the problem is "Call Mobile" has 44 at the start of the number. Meaning when ever I try make a call it says number not recognised - I think it needs to have +44. When I got into edit contact it has the actual mobile number with 077 etc...
Any suggestions?
I've noticed this, I'm betting the contact you have this problem with is linked to Facebook. If you look at that persons Facebook details I bet they've put a phone number in that starts with 44. There is no way around it unless you can persuade them to change it. It seems that it uses this info over the Google info. The only thing to do is to unlink the contact from Facebook till they sort their number format out.

Thanks for getting back to me and yes they are synced with Facebook.
I have found a little work around though, when you are in the dialer and have their name highlighted use the optical pad to move left and right and it will choose their other numbers.
Ah! That's interesting to know, although I usually select ppl to call or text via the people app, so it kinda stuffs you that way. Oddly it will work for sending texts but not calling.

Hey guys,
i just found out that if you change the number (from mobile to work or home or something like that) it sort of fixes it. You still get the wrong facebook number in there but ay least you also get a usable number to call.
I searched for a solution for this and I hope this has not been covered. I bought my wife a 3g slide and she loves it...I think it its pretty cool too...but here is my issue she has only her T-Mobile contacts visible and they are all synced w/ Facebook. But when she uses the messaging app ALL of her Facebook friends that included a number on their info become click-able...very annoying!
Is there a way to tun this off without losing the functionality of having the phone contacts synced...? Said another way her contact app works great b/c the FB contacts are hidden (there is an option to only show certain contacts) ....but when using the messaging app they are ALL visible there is NO option to only show certain contacts.
Any advice would be appreciated...I am a WinMo guy and this is out of my wheel house.
Go into contacts and hit menu...view and it'll give you a list of contact groups to show/hide...

I have already done that...I think you misunderstood my question. The issue is not with the contact app...I have the unwanted contacts hidden there. The problem is when I tap try to compose a new text meassgae...then it displays ALL the Facebook contacts....maybe there is no way to hid them on the messaging app?
Edit: I guess it it is not problem to initiate a new text message from the contact app...but it would be nice if there was a away to hide the FB contacts in the MESSAGING app...

As far as I know the only way to do such a thing would be to disable Facebook contact sync.

That is what I thought...no big deal...if anyone know a way let me know.
I use sms backup + for storing my sms and call history online.....
The sms works well
However, the call history would show only phone numbers without contact name.... showed "unknown"
I've tried to delete the google profile then sign in again............
It works for some of the contacts but some are still unknown........
Please help me

same here.. it went away when using AOKP and CM10 roms.. but whenever im using htc sense based roms it seems to happen.. pretty damn annoying!
I also use SMS Backup+ to automate SMS and Call Log uploading to Google, on a Sense ROM (ARHD 21), and it's working without issue. Only Unknown entries are literally those with Unknown numbers.
Can't be a Sense-related problem. Must be something else.
Hey lads,
Changed my firmware to WanamLite 1.5 (with the RedPill kernel) and just found out that when I call a saved contact, on the "Dialing" screen all it shows is the number and when I hang up it asks me whether I want to save the number as a contact. Happens on every contact a have (no matter if saved as a google or a FB contact) Any ideas why that would be happening?
I did just install HaxSync and synced the existing contacts. Though i couldn't find anyone else experiencing that particular issue with their app.
Thanks in advance for your input
