So, I have the GS3. Rooted, and am running the Leak (latest with LIH updates -radio, firmware, etc)
I've notice that with the JB update, there is now a change in the contacts app, related to images. It used to show an option to set a picture that's used on one of the joined accounts as the default image when referencing that contact.
Like if I wanted to see a Facebook pic on one person, but a manually set image on another, I'd go to the contact, edit the contact, tap the pic, and choose an option to use as default (or however it was phrased). But that option is now gone altogether, and I have images from my people's own networks being shown when I wanna see something other than their dog.
Any idea on how to get this functionality back? I'm really hoping the official update brings this back.
Thanks guys.
[Solved]
Figured it out.
While viewing the contact (not while editing it) hit menu, then there's an option that says "Set as Default."
This will take ya to a screen listing all the mixtures for caller ID, phone number, email, etc... and give you radio buttons to choose which ones you want as the default for each.
The one for the caller I'd sets the default pic for the contact.

I keep having to reset my phone preferences (such as my ring- I only want it to ring once) but it keeps resetting the settings to the default for the phone.
Is anyone else having this happen on their Sprint TP2?
***bump***
are you changing your ring settings through the touch flo 3d shell (settings>sound) or going through the traditional windows mobile settings (settings>sounds & notifications)?
My ring settings stick for both methods (or my phone says). I don't get calls enough for me to notice if settings stick.
maybe your ringtone is very long, so it sounds like it's ringing more then once?
I do experience a setting that I want to stick but doesn't. when you open phone, you choose menu > view. Default is "calls and contacts" but I only want "all calls". I can choose it and it'll filter, but when I close phone and reopen, it'll reset to "calls and contacts". =/
Thanks, Tone.
The ring is not long- it's an old fashioned phone ringer. The actual setting changes fron "Ring once" to "Ring."
I am setting it under the options on the dialer screen. I haave also gone through "Settings"; makes no difference.
So I recently hard reset my phone due to some other issues, but I tested if your problem again, and the settings are still fine on my end.
Out of curiosity, do you know what Manila version you have (along with what phone version)?
Mine is Sprint, Manila version 2.1.38416.1.
You can find the manila version with Reg Edit and go to "
HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila"
String Value "Version" tells you the Manila version.
If you don't have reg edit, or don't know how to do it, that's ok, just phone version should be enough. I've been discovering from customizing my phone and researching on XDA, that Manila may have different bugs depending on what Manila version you have (and most likely a different Manila version is attached with different carriers).
Same Manila version.
Has been hard reset twice, but the problem persists...
oh boo, that sucks. if you have a phone replacement/repair plan with sprint, I say go to them and tell them the issue. I always ***** at sprint with whatever problem that can't be solved. it's a defect in the software/hardware and if you have the replacement/repair plan, they won't charge anything for repairs. and if they can't repair it themselves, they'll send out a request for a 'new' phone replacement. sometimes its brand new, sometimes its refurbished. depends what they have in stock.
I can not get my phone to filter contacts by just device contacts it always defaults back to all contacts making me have dupes. Anyone else have this or know how to make the setting stick?

this is what I do (if you have contacts on your sim).
enter phone app (call button).
press "contacts" (left soft key) to open contacts (manila shell).
press "menu" (right soft key).
choose "view".
listed is "all", "contacts" and "sim". choose "contacts" to list only device stored contacts.
settings stick for me. but I don't have contacts on my sim card to verify. however, the setting itself doesn't change back.
if you go to contacts (windows app version), I believe you can't do this, because there is no option for it.
this is one reason why I think manila is kind of retarded. it just covers up windows mobile, but there are still multiple front ends / GUI for the same things.
no real help, but i set my phone to ring and vibrate, and every now and then it reverts to just ring!!!
I was having the same problem until I noticed
the Single Volume control. It is above the Phone
controls on the settings panel. I turned it off
and now the phone ring settings stay the way I
set them.
it's a known issue for Sprint TP2's. it will be fixed with ROM update to WM6.5. in the meantime, check out this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=83378&highlight=jfrancisny&page=4. Post #36 fixed it for me.
Dear Friends,
I noticed that since manila 2.1.1919 (LEO) (probably), the contacts picture doesn't updated. Means if any of my friends change their profile picture in their facebook, their new picture wont show up in my contact. I've tried to update, but no luck. Only their status are updated.
Anyone has the same issue? any fix for this?

I'm using stock att rom and manila 2.1.1918 and had a similar issue when linking the profiles for the first time, and updating the pic the contacts pictures wouldnt load at all, i removed the link b/t the facebook and contact and instead of having it auto locate which contact i chose it from the list and that worked. i know its a dif version, but figured I'd share my experience
I thought I had the same issue but it turns out that it just takes a while. Once you set it to update move back to the home tab and then go back. pic should be updated
i've tried that, but still no picture update. The status did update.
I'm not sure if this will work, but I figure my 2 cents might help.
I had a similar problem as well.
Now that you have a connection with the facebook profile... Go into your contact list, select any contact that is asscociated with a profile (via Automatic Pairing or Manual). Select "Edit Contact" (shoulr be under the "Information" Bar). Touch the area where the "Photo" should be. Select "Facebook Profile."
I have had a few that I had to do this to, but once I did this, they change by themselves as people change them on their profiles... I believe it updates every 2 hours or something.
Worth a try, at least.
Hello,
I'm new to this forum but have done a google search for my problem. It seems like it's still an ongoing problem that doesn't have a solution as of yet.
My problem/issue is with MMS messages that contain more than one picture. I've got handcent and the original messaging app that came with my droid incredible.
The best way I know to describe the problem in detail is to give an example. Let's say I received an MMS message that contained 10 pictures. With handcent, I would download the message and it would/could come in in different ways. Sometimes it'll only show me the first picture(view thru some sort of picture manager), sometimes it would show me the first and last as some sort of a movie, and then sometimes it would show the entire set of pictures in a movie type format that would last for 1-2 minutes give or take with no way of scrolling from picture to picture. However, unless it shows all the pictures in a movie type format there is no way to view every picture unless I go into the messaging app that came on the phone.
When using the messaging app on the phone the MMS message comes in in 1 of 2 ways. The first is a slideshow that shows every picture with an option to scroll from picture to picture. I'm pleased with this and would like all of these types of messages to come in this way. The second is the pictures come in as attachments. With this I'm only able to view the picture one by one. I have to click on what picture I want to view then choose between "View or save to SD card" then choose how to complete the action by choosing between "View picture or ASTRO Image Viewer".
My question is why doesn't all MMS messages like this not automatically come in as a slideshow where I can manually flip between pictures, either with the messaging app that came with the phone or with handcent? Is this a droid issue, specific phone issue, etc.? Is there a system setting that needs to be changed or a phone update I need to do? I had an LG Dare before this phone and all messages like this came in in slideshow form and I could flip between each picture.
This is the only problem I'm having with this phone. It's rooted and I'm running RR rom. I just want to be able to view each and every picture by scrolling or thumbing through the message. It's just amazing to me that a phone with this capability would have an issue like this
Thanks for any help!

does anyone have an answer?
I recently bought a new car and promptly linked the phone via BT. Unfortunately the Audi MMI can only sort by surname and with the narrow width in the in-dashboard display my recently called list can often look like this...
McConach...
McConach...
McConach...
which is less than helpful
So the question is, is there a way to have a secondary list, linked to my main list, in someway that can file the names as "Darren McConachie" (ie all one name rather than split into first and surname) and pass that to BT devices?
If you go in to contacts on the phone (the contacts app) not dialer. The click he menu button (three dot on top of eachoher) then settings you have some options there which may help.
Be sure to report back and let us know either way.
PS Get a BMW next time LOL
Yeah been through those settings, everything on my phone is sorted by first name! Looks like something I'll just have to get used to!
I have the same issue. In my old phone i was able to do a bluetooth setup to change the way these contacts where transferred. Even though i think this is an Audi problem, it could be worked around if the GN would deliver the contacts in a different format. This would be a matter of changing things inside the bluetooth stack i guess.
:-(
Martin with the new GN
Edit: Maybe i just crossover first names and last names in my exchange account, where this is coming from. I am only accessing it from the PC otherwise and there is an option to change the sorting so maybe i give that a try - pretty dirty workaround though
I have some issues with the address book after installing [BETA 0.11][03.06] ICS for Desire[ALL HBOOTS][4.0.4].
I am unable to add new contacts and cannot add a number from call history to people.
This is what happens:
Add New Contact
Click People icon from the main menu.
Click the + icon at the bottom Right Corner
That gives me an option of adding the Contact to my Gmail Or Hotmail that I have configured. But does not give me an option to add it to Phone Address Book.
Add from Call History
Click the Phone Icon to go to Call histoty.
Press on the number I want to add to People.
Gives me three options, Add to Contacts, Call Number, Send Message.
Select Add to contacts.
That gives me an option of adding the Contact to my Gmail Or Hotmail that I have configured. But does not give me an option to add it to Phone Address Book.
Read on some other forum that, the work around for this is to Press and hold the unknown number. A menu will pop up allowing you to send a text to the number, edit it, save it to contacts But here also the same, Can add it to Gmail or Hotmail. Not Phone Contacts.
I'm on another ICS ROM: BCM 3.7U0 and it's the same. I'm guessing this is how the ICS built in People app functions.

Hi
It seems that Google with ICS have removed the feature of storing contacts on locally on the phone:

Taken from the above thread:

I'm still not a fan of this fact. I rather liked having them separated so that I could leave business contacts on the phone (actually the SIM, i didn't save any contacts to the phone itself) but ICS killed that. I'm not talking a backup to SIM, I didn't want the business numbers in my google account, period.
As to the question at hand, I leave it to Google and the account I made just for the phone, they already have hundreds of copies of the contacts on multiple servers. Anything else is going to be prone to error, incompatibility, corruption, etc. Also, google does the restoring & updating all on its own, no thought needed.
