So just got this phone and 2 things are bugging me:
1. Messaging shows ALL my gmail contacts, even the ones I don't really add but gmail adds on it's own. How can I make it show only google PHONE contacts? I already chose the option in the contacts app to show only contacts with phone but it doesn't look like this stick in the messaging app.
2. When I hang up, I get a screen asking to add the number, call again or txt it. Can this screen be removed so it just hangs up?
1. Go to your contacts, hit Menu, go to display options. In "Select contacts to display" open Google and uncheck the groups you do not want.

I just got my wife a mytouch slide. Is there any way to make the native facebook syncing only sync facebook people that are in her address book with their picstures and stuff. It does that but even when its not set to snyc anyone else when you go to choose a person to text or whatever it shows her whole facebook friend list of like 400 people.
So is there a way to just have it sync her contacts in her address book and not have everyone from facebook in the list when she goes to text people? cause the only option seems to delete the facebook account from the settings so it doesnt snyc at all or everyone populates it. Thanks for any help.
From the actual Contacts menu (or People menu), press Menu > View and make sure Facebook is not checked in. I have my FB Contacts set to not sync, but their FB pictures show up, and I do not see any of the FB contacts that are not on my Google contacts when I go to select a contact when typing a message...
The way this phones seems to handle its contacts list is horrible.. I have some names up to 5 times from my sim, google and fb very annoying, I just want google, like the g1 used to be

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
1.) Link your contacts using the "link function" located on the top right corner of each contact.
2.) When in your main contacts view, hit the menu key>view>google. Make sure that its the only one selected.

I do have it like that and that works fine for the contacts app, but when u seard for a name for lets say a new text, it will show every single one individually. Im just going to ask for a SIM thats empty and not sync my FB
The problem with linking accounts that I found...
My ex has a very slutty picture as her facebook pic. I don't want my kids or myself to see that picture when I call/text her. There is an option to choose which picture to use for a contact in the linking page, but it reverts back to the facebook picture whenever it syncs!
I talked with T-mobile and they are aware of the issue and I asked if they could bring it up with HTC. Seems stupid to have a way to choose which picture if it never stays!
Hi all,
I am running a completely stock HTC Desire and I have a really strange annoying problem.
The problem is if I add a new contact, it adds the person, as when I am on "Phone" and tap the numbers to spell their name they appear.
Also if I go into google mail and contacts, I can see the contact.
What I cant see is the contact in the "People" application.
This is really frustrating and I was wondering if anyone had any idea how I can fix this? Just to note, I am adding contacts setting them to my google group exactly the same as I have always done. Im not sure when this started to happen.
Thanks for your time.
When adding the contact via phone, are you ensuring the contact type at the top is a Google one?
When adding the contact via Gmail, are you ensuring the contact is added to teh 'My Contacts' group?
Try this...
Go into your Contacts.
Hit your Menu key and select Display Options.
Select your GMAIL account.
Make sure there are checkmarks in each of the lines, especially "All Other Contacts.
Click Done.

Hi guys. I am having trouble editing or adding info to my contacts.
I have google contacts synced and am only viewing those in my contacts. When I go to edit a contact, like adding a phone number or changing an existing number, I press the save button and it's like nothing happens. I can't press the back button or menu button. If I hit the home button, it takes me to the home screen but if I go back into contacts, it's like its stuck on the contact I was trying to edit. The only thing that functions is the Cancel button, which maddeningly asks if I'd like to discard my changes. If I do that, it simply discards my changes and the info I attempted to add vanishes.
If I go to gmail and edit the contact there, no problem. It syncs to my phone and all is well.
Why can't I edit contacts via the phone itself?
NVM, problem appears to be haxsync related but I still can't edit contacts that are linked to haxsync.
I don't use haxsync but here's an idea: Make sure that when you are viewing your contacts from your phone-that you are actually viewing the entry of the "google account", (and not your haxsync account, or other)
To test this, open Contacts, click on the bottom left Options button, scroll down and select "Contacts to Display". Click on your google account name, and then your will be viewing your google account records only, and you should be able to edit those from your phone...
Let me know what happens.
Some related background: You can't edit a facebook account entry from your phone - even if it is joined with a google account entry of the same name. When you display a contact who is both a google account and facebook contact- (depending what your settings are for "accounts to display") the same contact might have multiple sub-screens: eg. the google one which is editable, and facebook one- which is not.
Here is what I'm trying to do. I would like the "contacts" app to display only the contacts that i have saved to my Google account. I would like those contacts to have their pictures imported from Facebook. If there are contacts with names that don't match their Facebook name exactly, I'd like to be able to link them up.
What is happening right now is that if I only sync existing contacts with Facebook and/or Haxsync, I end up with a LOT of missing pictures. When I "sync all", I end up with all of my Facebook friends populating my contacts app.
Maybe I'm doing it in the wrong order? I assume I can remove my Facebook and Haxsync apps (or clear data), then clear data in the contacts app to start from scratch. What are the steps I need to take from there/
1. Only Google contacts displayed.
2. Contact pictures populated from Facebook.
3. Ability to join names without exact match.
Thank you in advance for the help.
You can sync all with the Facebook app, then join the contacts for the profile pictures within each contact (there is a merge/join contacts option). For names that don't match, they let you manually choose whoever you want to merge, so names don't have to be the same. After that is all done, go to your contacts and click the menu button, there should be an option "Contacts to Display". Hit that, then select your Google account. Enjoy

The other part is that if you hit the menu button in contacts and select "Contacts to display" (you may have to scroll the list down), you then can go down to "Custom List" and click the gear icon to the right. That will allow you to select which contacts display on your phone.
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?
