Hello guys,
recently bought the htc one x, my first android phone and absolutely loving it!
Loved the way different apps could work together and how my contacts were merged together with their facebook accounts an skype status.
My question is, I know I can call the contact via skype (but this is to their cell phone number, which you have to pay skypecredits for) but i would like to have the possibility to start a voice chat when they are online, I have been looking a while but i think this functionality is just not available right now.
Is there a way to make this work?
Kind regards

I would imagine that you want to make sure that Skype syncs your contacts and then merge them with your existing contacts using the linking tool. After that, it should recognize them by skype name, rather than default to their cell number.

Is it possible to make the phone button open the contacts app, at the moment it opens a screen where its gt all sorts of numbers, facebook contacts i dont want and all sorts,
mmm i agree.. that phone list is really annoying. it's got recent incoming and out going, then favorites, that all contacts including facebook.
i just want my google contacts in alpha order!
yh hope they add some options to change that up soon
Hide the keyboard and you get all your contacts

what i mean is, the list that comes up in the "phone" menu should be the same as contact one, but its a misture of missed calles, dialed calls and facebook peeps
no, it shouldn;t be.
the call history is at the top as it is on all htc sense phones (Android and WM) so you can immediately dial your last few calls.
otherwise, you start typing the name of the person you want to dial, and up they come nice and quick.
Smart dialling like this has been in winmo since pocket pc 2002. of course they brought it across to android.
however, yes, the facebook stuff is bloody ridiculous.
Only thing that I find annoying is having 3 vesion of a phone number as it syncs Google, Facebook and Phone - surely it should merge new data and not duplicate it? I just want the data from Outlook's address book and then have them linked to Facebook if need be. It was cool that it did it automatically though
i think u can link them up manually
[Q] Gmail Contacts - Missing Phone Numbers (only mobile & work numbers sync to phone)
Hello all,
Just got my first wp7 (samsung focus) a few days ago and there are some glaring issues that need to be worked on through MS updates, but there is one in particular that is bugging me.
Gmail Contacts: The issue I'm having is they sync, but only certain phone numbers. For instance, my girlfriend has 4 numbers. A mobile, two work numbers, and a google voice number. My phone will only sync her mobile & main work number so I do not have access to either her google voice number (which I really need) and her secondary work line.
Is there something I'm missing? Or is this just one of the things they will be addressing at some point down the line? Hopefully there is something I am missing as I need to at the very least have access to everybody's contact information.
Thanks in advance
Well, for now,I just made a second contact for her with her google voice # as her mobile. I know the OS is new, but I hope they get the contact issues worked out sooner rather than later as the main function of my phone is still contact with humans (for now).
well afaik thats just because exchange does not support the other number fields

Will it work if change the gmail sever to the IMAP address?
I had this problem also.
I'm afraid to say that I looked all over the internet and couldn't find a solution for this.
I fixed it by changing phone number types to known once, e.g mobile, work, home (other is not supported).
IMAP = email only, no contacts, calendar, or anything else.
That's a weird one, I haven't run into this problem yet. I just looked at 3 people who I know I have a pager (really their Skype Numbers), work number, home number, cell number and Work 2/company and all showed up just fine on my DVP. hmm...
Hi,
I have an evo with DeckRom on it (gingerbread). I'm trying to get skype to be my default dialer, or even better to have it prompt me for what I'd like to use as a dialer (phone or skype).
I can't for the life of me figure this out. Phone doesn't show up under settings-applications-manage-all. I've cleared defaults from gocontacts.
I've tried uninstalling skype, then rebooting the phone and redownloading the app.
Still nothing.
Other thing I might like is the ability to choose google voice to make outgoing calls if that is available.
Thanks in advance.
Bump for this. I'm having the exact same issue on my thunderbolt running stock/rooted debloat. Any help would be great as I'm retiring the thunderbolt and basically turning it intoca glorified pda/voip phone.
Google voice can be set as a default dialer/SMS/voicemail app but Skype I don't believe will set as a default however on decks gb rom in settings under calls you can set up a SIP account for voip calling with no added apps it will use the default dialer to call over ip
When I first installed skype, android gave me the option to choose how to complete the call. I no longer receive that option.

My goal is to either:
1. have the option of using skype, google voice or T mobile when initiating a call from my contacts list
or
2. be able to access and successfully choose a contact from my list when I'm on skype
At some point (I don't know why) my phone stopped giving the choice of using Skype, google voice or TMobile for an outgoing call. I would love to get that back since Skype doesn't allow me to use my phone contact list to make calls. Any ideas on how to achieve my goal?
Please tell me how to have a notification on my email when someone responds to my question.
Thanks

You're in the evo4g forum no one here has tmo as the evo is a cdma phone not gsm

bzzz
Did you manage to find the solution to this?
Hey guys... I am currently using Google Voice and love it, however, I have ran into a problem. I use my current GV number for a small business I operate out of my home, and am getting ready to start another small business and need both GV #'s to forward to my nexus. Google doesn't allow this apparently, so I was curious if you guys know of any other apps out there that will allow you to sign up for a new number, and that the app will allow you to make/receive calls through that number... I wish google would make this a paid feature.
thank for any and all help.

Spawn The Dark Ages
i Have Friends in Germany,Fin land,New Zeland,West Africa and Asia! what im Wondering is there a way to make Direct Calls to there Cellphone or House instead of Having to Use Skype,Tango,Yahoo Messenger FB Messenger ETC. i have T-Mobile but the Plan i Have only Lets me Call home for Free Using WiFi if I'm Abroad so i have to Keep Buying Calling Cards or use one of the Above thanks and Hope Someone Can Advise.
You can make VoIP calls from Google hangouts (as of last month). It should should already be installed on your tmo htc.
Your friends just need to get a Gmail account and use hangouts from the browser or their phones.
I don't know if you also need to create a Google+ account to use hangouts. I know you used to need one, but I heard Google backed off on this a bit.
thanks for the heads up ill try it and get back to you
