I rebooted my phone and after reboot I saw that in the phone app the numbers I dialed before appear as unknown and in inbox the name of the contact doesn't show. Only number. But in people I have all the contacts. I need to "save as existing contacts" from the inbox and then the name shows up in the inbox. Hope o could make myself clear because it's an unusual problem to explain. I never had this problem and it happens after every reboot. I am on viper and ncx

Oh man, you have so many problems. Didn't you say that you were gonna leave and stay on stock? Please do that, its better for everybody.

Go into "people", on the top left corner tap "Phonebook". This dropdown list shows you which accounts on your phone are enabled to show contacts.
If your Main Google account to which you have synced your contacts is not checked, check it. If it is, uncheck it then check it again.
This happened to me once, and this solved it. Hopefully it'll do for your too.

I have a weird recent issue where some contacts are showing up as '614...' rather than '04...' or '+614...', so they don't dial, even though the stored number is '04...' which dials fine. I noticed with one contact that if I de-lined Facebook it defaulted back to the actual stored number of '04...' - any thoughts? The Starburst ROM dev has not heard of this issue.
It's a known Facebook sync issue

Thanks guys! The thread is about HTC Sync corrupting Email Addresses in Outlook 2010 though, I searched Android Forums and couldn't see one about Facebook sync error, do you have a link handy or is that actually the right thread?
It seems to effect some contacts with phone numbers in their Facebook profile, that over-rides my contact details with the '614...' number that doesn't work. So i have to de-link Facebook for those contacts.
message deleted, wrong thread.

Here is what I did, this is only a partial solution:
De link the accounts.
Now select the account on your phone which has the correct number and now link it to the FB account. I think the account which is chosen first overrides the info in the "linked" one.
OR
You have to do this everytime you have such a contact:
dial the number from facebook. hang up once the dial screen comes into play. Go to your "call history", long press the contact, select -- Edit number before call (I think this facility is only on sense based roms, correct me if I am wrong), punch in the correct number and now you can dial.
kinda sucks but this is my workaround.
sounds like I'm not alone. so first of parent account overrides?

Tried going in to primary correct contact and linking, didn't work, will try the other way around.
edit, didn't work either, facebook always overrides.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
Try this, works for me (but not in the Sense Contact widget)
- Edit the contact in question
- Change the original number from mobile to fax
- Save the changes
- Back at the main contact view press and hold the 'fax' number and set to primary contact
- Edit the contact again and make it a mobile again
- Save changes
This should then show the correct format and allow you to ring the contact
If only Facebook would allow people to enter the number as they want, with or without international dialing code
Well as a workaround that actually works, thanks! At least I can hobble along now until this Facebook sync problem gets fixed. Any idea what's causing this or if it effects only some phones?

Go to Settings > About Phone > Status > My Phone Number
You can enter your phone number there. Once you do so, it should display whatever image you have setup for 'me'.
I am running 6.1 at the moment and this fixes the problem but only TEMPORARILY. The phone number does not persist through a reboot so you have to re-enter it everytime. Not sure if this has been fixed in CM7 RC's or not. Check that thread in Android Development.

I am running CM7 RC1 and my phone number says "Unknown" and it is hard coded. I am unable to edit that. You know of a fix? My "me" icon is blank as well.
Figured it out go to settings/call settings/ additional settings and in there u can edit my phone number and it'll pick up quick

Pretty sure I already said this lol.
But fwiw my icon still greys out even though CM7 recognizes my number. It also doesnt recognize a few of my contacts for pulling facebook pictures down.
U told me to go to about phone I can't edit there and check u might have doubles or triples of certain contacts n it won't use the pic jus seek them out and join them or delete the doubles. And if u have a pic set it should use it. I don't like using fb pics cuz its a bunch of ppl I never talk too lol
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Yea well I don't have doubles its really weird. Just 3 of my contacts won't pull in pictures and it won't pull in my picture either.
I do use Facebook a bit. I have it set to only sync pictures with existing contacts, not pull in ALL contacts from facebook to my phone. That would be ridiculous.
So when you go to contacts and type the name of the person the pic won't show it only shows one? Cause when I scroll thru contacts it don't show the doubles when I searched them for some reason I had a lot of doubles. And after u went to call settings and added your number and your phone recognized it did u add urself as a contact?

Yea I even checked via gmail through my contacts lists I have no duplicates. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the FaceBook app and logging out/in again.
As far as my picture, I've tried creating a contact card for myself and it doesn't work.
For some reason only one of my Facebook friends is not showing up in my contact list, i have, in settings, set it to show all Facebook contacts. It shows all except one. I go into my Facebook app and it shows him as a friend...i don't get it... I've cleared out my log in through accounts and then set it back up, waited for all the contacts to be linked up again, but he's still not there... really frustrating... any ideas?

Yes! This is just the issue I've experienced too. One of my contacts doesn't show up no matter what I do. I've spent a lot of time playing with this. It's quite annoying. I think this is a problem on FB's side.
Well I don't know what exactly I did to fix it, but its working now... I went into my facebook albums to check out some pics and he was on the lost so I checked my contact list and he was linked again

I think sometimes if the names don't match up perfectly it doesn't find it...I'm sure you verified this already though.
Facebook Sync/Contacts/Messaging
I am having a problem getting my contact picture to appear in messaging as well as caller ID.
I have synced my Facebook account with my contact list, joined all of the contacts, and have the Caller ID default set to the Facebook picture.
However, all of the pictures in my messaging and when someone calls me comes up as the blank default picture as if they do not have one set.
The pictures appear in the contact list fine, and are all marked as default for caller ID. How can I get their pictures to appear in my messaging and my caller ID?
Everyone here needs to say what ROM they are using. HTC Sense does things different then cm7. sense 3.0 may do thing different then 2.1 or 1.0. Also are you using the "Sync" in the facebook application or are you using the accounts sync in htc sense?
I dont think anyone here has enough information to answer your questions at this point.
One thing you may want to do is add that one contact as a contact in gmail (if that is what you sync contact with) and see if that contact gets linked with the facebook person.
Hope that helps, and good luck

i am having the same problem with only one fb contact not showing in my android samsung epic touch galaxy 2 stock OS not showing. THE NAME MATCHES PERFECTLEY.(even when names dont match perfectly... there is one contact for the fb name and one phone contact spelled differently and not linked.) i have done everything you have tried also with no results... im pissed. ive unfriended him and refriended him twice. PLEASE HELP
A lot of times my contact changes from a name to their number instead. idk why this happens :/ can someone show me how to reverse it?
ie:i type in my friends name in the smart finer or w/e. John Smith, but when i click enter instead of John Smith it says 999-999-9999. And now its staying like that!
You have tried rebooting your phone, right?
Is this how John Smith is displayed in "people" app in the drawer as well as in the dialer and your messaging app? What if anything other than stock are you using?
Are your contacts synced through a gmail account, facebook, etc? Or are they stored strictly on your phone?
Not exactly sure what the problem you're having but perhaps your settings might do this. Is your view "Only with phone number" checked when you go into view in the peoples app?
I did restart my phone but it didn't stop. It went away 3 hours ago then came back. The people are linked to Facebook and gmail if view have one. It is not view phone number only and The display is based on the name I put in my phone and not Facebook or gmail. I'm using standard sms and running rmk gingersense.

Check in your contacts and make sure you have area codes put in. I had a " John Smith " put in as 111-1111 when he called back it did not read it as him because Verizon always tacks on the area code.
Hopefully it is that simple.

You could try a no-wipe flash of the rom to correct a possible rom software issue.

I learned this the hard way....
When adding a new account to my phone, by default it chooses the phone as the storage location for the contact. On my ATRIX 4G for example it would allow me to choose my Gmail account once and use that setting for all future contacts. While the HOX let's me choose the gmail account, it does't have an option (that I can find) for choosing my default method.
Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!
The same way as you described. When adding a new contact, the very top option shows either phone, google or sim. Choose google, enter the contact and save it. Each time you go to add a new contact it should show google, at least it does for me

Yes I see the option there. But I'm curious if there is a setting that allows me to select a default so that instead of defaulting to phone it goes to Google? or removes the part where it asks all together.

Not that I've noticed on any of my HTC's I've had before. Just once you save one contact as google, it stays that way as default.

I created a 'dummy' contact and selected Google as the place to save the contact. However when I return to create a new contact it reverts to Phone. Are you saying that on your device after you save 1 contact to google any subsequent contacts are saved to google automatically?

Yes, every contact I've added since the first are saved automatically to google. In my contacts I have it set to show only google contacts only, maybe that's why it automatically sets it to google?

This would be your best solution, if not then I don't know what will.
The default when you have your google account logged into your phone should make your "People" saving default to google.
