Contacts Name - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

i have my home # in my contacts but every time i call home, the name "anna" appears instead of "home". i searched this forum but it didn't seem like anyone has the same problem. thanks in advance.

Do you have your home # and anna linked in your contacts?

Multiple Google contacts...plz help!

Not sure how it happened, but for most of my contacts I have about 3 identical google profiles for...I noticed this when I go to send a text...I get about 3 cell #s, 3 home #s, etc for each person...wondering if there is something I'm missing to clear out? Thanks in advance, just mildly annoying

Might be a stupid question but..... have you checked your google account? Are they on there multiple times too?
Do you have more than one gmail account linked with your android phone? If so, do you also have these contacts on separate accounts?
Go to your contacts app and hit the menu button and check your display options too. See if something weird's going on there.
Or you can delete the data for your contacts through the Application manager and let it resync in case data was corrupted some how.

I actually get the same thing but I'm heavily modded and just live with it. For me I'm on 1.1 of Srf and running the honeycomb theme of amosher. Also sync across two main mail accounts with my mandatory Gmail account not being one of them.

Clear the google services framework data.
First, I must apologize for posting in the wrong forum...meant to put in Q&A...sorry. And thanks for the suggestions...I cleared the data in the contacts storage, clear google services framework...reset the sync...unfortunately nothing worked...just weird...shows like 3 linked google accts under every contact...I can delete them manually, but upon reboot, they come right back...oh well, guess I'll just deal with it too...thanks again!

Go to the sync settings and uncheck the Contacts option on all but one of them and then reset it again.
Login to Gmail on a PC and try merging duplicates under contacts/more actions.
Nicenice...yours was the winner...thank you! & thanks to all who responded, I appreciate it

Happened to me once.. I've always had my contacts on gmail, but I once used a different back up app that restored my contacts, suddenly, I had two gmail entries for every person.. both on my phone and in gmail.. solution was to go on gmail on a comp and delete dup contacts

Dialer question

My contact names do not appear when I initially navigate to the dialer. After pressing a few numbers and deleting, my contacts appear. Anyone else experience this? It is kind of annoying.

I just got the Inc2 yesterday, and noticed this same problem. rather annoying. I, too, am looking for a solution to this, other than just going through contacts.
I had an Eris before this and kept the sense dialer because I liked it so much. It is very easy to find contacts, just wished they hadn't changed it in the fact that you now have to dial a number and press delete in order for names to begin to appear? I am not quite sure how this doesn't annoy absolutely everyone!?!?

My contacts are there as soon as I open the dialer... However I have noticed that if I don't add the area code first it doesn't register as the contacts number and that is annoying
I am having the same issue as the OP.
I like the stock dialer and really don't want to switch.
Anybody made a call or sent an email to VZ or HTC?

Google Now Commands
Google Now works with network (and GPS) on all the time. To activate, long press home button and 'G' point (the middle button), use menu and parameter, here you can active google now. You must also activate Search history in your google account or google now parameter.
After you activate google now, on parameter you have new entry for what to use.
Google now is a sort of assistant, he can show you the wheater based on your location, the next appointment based on the calendar, the next show, based on your internet search, and so on.
But there is no widget, so it's as useful as it's intend to be.
When i want to send email,,nothing,,google now just open google search with text ..send email etc...So how to send emails with voice?
Tnx
In fact for me works only google search with voice and weather card.

Inputs setings..where?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
There are 2 locations I changed the language:
1. Go to system settings > Language and Input > Language > choose English US
2. When in Google Now press Menu > Settings > Voice > Language > choose English US

Try AIVC (Alice) from google play its free it works exactly the same as s voice but I think its much better it does what your after and sends emails or sms or makes calls sets alarms checks weather etc all by your voice.
Just install it and double tap the home key to activate.
Anygood?

Stock dialer wont search contacts

Hi.
I come from HTC desire hd and i love my note 2. The only thing i dont like is how the stock dialer behaves. When i thpe to search it only searches the first name rather than the entire contact. In my desire hd the dialer would search all the feilds rather than just the first feild. It is annoying to go to contacts first, search and then dial.
I am not interested in using third party dialers. Can this be achieved on the stock dialer?
Cheers!!

I'm using the stock dialler and i had this issue with a few of my contacts, it turned out that the contacts that i imported from my sim rather than my Google account didn't have their names separated into first and last name fields. after fixing the fields it worked without a hitch

My contacts are fine when it comes to field seperation. All synced with google. If i search in the contacts tab, it searches fine. Its just when i use the dialer to search, the results are not shown. I am sure this problem is universal and not just limited to my device. I have used other dialers from the play store and they search fine, but i want to use the stock dialer only.

[Q] Google Now does not recognize a name as a contact

OK, i have a contact with an unusual name. When i say text XXX Hello. it searches for "text xxx hello" I can do it for my son or daughter and it works fine. is there any way to teach it this is a contact? It spells the name right, so it's close, it just doesn't get that it's a contact. I have added a last name and a phonetic spelling just in case either of those would help.
thanks in advance.
Bump.
