Not sure if this is possible... I sms/mms/email a lot to my kids/family. And I find myself sending articles, pictures, etc to the same 2 or 3 contacts. Is there a way to make a group "KIDS" for example, that would contain the 2 or 3 contacts instead of adding each contact separately ? I've looked, and I sure can't figure it out.
Yes go to contacts and then groups tab. Hit the menu button and make a new group . On the bottom of that screen you will see add member. Click that and add people to your new group.
Now to send a message to that group go back to contacts and click the group tab. And long press the group you just made. You will see options to email and message

hi! i'm a recent buyer of rhodium... a question: it's possible to send the same message directly to a group of contacts? i don't think so... hi!
Click "To:" and you can add a person in.... i believe you can only add one person at a time, but you can send to multiples.
If someone knows how to drop multiple people in the "To:" field at once, I would like to know.
On the sprint 6.5 stock ROM, if you open "All People" (under "People") along the bottom are 5 categories : All, Favorites, Groups, Updates and Events, and Call History. If you select "groups", you can permanently assign many groups. Once a group is created it is saved and you can select it and easily send a text to any or all of the people in that group (there is a checkbox next to each contact). Hope this helps!

Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am coming from a Vibrant so am not all that familiar with Vanilla android, is there any way to get contacts to sync with Facebook? I liked how on the Vibrant I could link all my phone contacts with their facebook accounts so there photos would be updated, also have quick access to their fb pages, but mostly for throwing in all their pictures. I see you can add FB friends into contacts on the phone but I dont see a way to link the FB friends contact info with their phone number? Is there any way to link them? I dont want to have two seperate contacts (one for phone number and one for FB) for each person in my "contacts" tab.
Thanks
When I first opened the Facebook app, it asked if I wanted to sync all friends to contacts, sync information to existing contacts, or skip syncing.
I chose to sync with existing contacts and it only added pictures and Facebook links to the contacts.

I have that set too but some of the people in my contacts arent put in as first name and last name, but just first name or a nick name, on the Vibrant I could just link the fb contact and the phone contact together if the names werent exactly the same, doesnt seem like thats an option on this phone?

In that case... go to Contacts :ress and hold contact's name::: > EDIT CONTACT > then Press MENU > JOIN.
you should see a list of suggested names from your facebook contacts.....
If the one you want isn't listed there.... try changing either first name or last name or both... (you dont have to save) and then press MENU > JOIN .... again.... and it should come up...

awesome, thank you so much! thats exactly what i was looking for
Anyone using launcher pro, i notice that even though it syncs with facebook and puts the pics in the contacts tab, it doesnt put the contact into the contact picture when you edit the contact so as a result, doesnt put it into the "people" widget
nm turns out its a known launcher pro issue
I like that everything is synced up to gmail. But I dislike the lack of options as far as how to organize the contacts.
I basically have 3 groups of contacts: Friends/family, business and food.
By default when i open the list of contacts, i'd just like the friends/family group to be displayed. I'm kind of surprised that i can just swipe left or right to switch between groups. Failing that, can i just set one group as the default group to display? I've poked around in the settings and so far haven't found anything like that.
Htc sense does that by default and very good too. Create a group for the contact groups such as all contacts. In the contact edit page page specify the group for that contact such as "all contacts". In the sense people widget select the contact group you want displayed in that widget and all contacts belonging to that group will only be displayed. Enjoy.
Is there any way to do that when i go into the main contacts app itself? i.e. when i click on the 'people' button. Can i have that screen default to a certain group?

Not when you click on the people app but definitely when using the people widget.
ok. Guess i'll just stick two widgets on a screen then for the two groups i use the most.
thanks

How do I create a new contact in "my contacts" group ?
I'm trying to create a new contact, but it always goes in "motoblur" and "gmail" group NO matter which group I'm viewing it still goes to "motoblur" and "gmail" .
Then when I sinc contacts with gmail, all newly created contacts go to "other" group in my google accout and all my existing contacts are in "my contacts" group.
So how do I create new contact that automaticaly saves in "my contacts" group?
Or, how do I move contacts from one group to another ?
thanks for the help.
...so, no one know how do I create a new contact in a specific group !? No one using groups in his phonebook ?
Is there any solution to choose group where will be saved contact on google contact?
I have all contact in My contact sections and filtered one Section named Contacts in Phone and flag in them. In Display options in Contact app I showing that group.
Question: is there any way to save all further contact in that group or I must manually move them in group which I diplay in contact? :crying:
