Hey lads,
Changed my firmware to WanamLite 1.5 (with the RedPill kernel) and just found out that when I call a saved contact, on the "Dialing" screen all it shows is the number and when I hang up it asks me whether I want to save the number as a contact. Happens on every contact a have (no matter if saved as a google or a FB contact) Any ideas why that would be happening?
I did just install HaxSync and synced the existing contacts. Though i couldn't find anyone else experiencing that particular issue with their app.
Thanks in advance for your input

Hi,
I found a strange little bug with the HTC Sense People app.
I have all my contacts synced from my Google Account but the problem is "Call Mobile" has 44 at the start of the number. Meaning when ever I try make a call it says number not recognised - I think it needs to have +44. When I got into edit contact it has the actual mobile number with 077 etc...
Any suggestions?
I've noticed this, I'm betting the contact you have this problem with is linked to Facebook. If you look at that persons Facebook details I bet they've put a phone number in that starts with 44. There is no way around it unless you can persuade them to change it. It seems that it uses this info over the Google info. The only thing to do is to unlink the contact from Facebook till they sort their number format out.

Thanks for getting back to me and yes they are synced with Facebook.
I have found a little work around though, when you are in the dialer and have their name highlighted use the optical pad to move left and right and it will choose their other numbers.
Ah! That's interesting to know, although I usually select ppl to call or text via the people app, so it kinda stuffs you that way. Oddly it will work for sending texts but not calling.

Hey guys,
i just found out that if you change the number (from mobile to work or home or something like that) it sort of fixes it. You still get the wrong facebook number in there but ay least you also get a usable number to call.
Hello,
I'm using my desire HD for quite some time now, but i've never had this problem before. When i'm opening the contacts app (if i can call it that way) and then press on the picture of someone and press call or send text message it uses the wrong number and it never did this wrong before does anyone know how to change this?
Thanks in advance!

The number that it puts do you recognize it? Can it be the number of search of the contact? Or is it a random number?
Have you you checked your contacts list in your google account?
Entering from to PC into gmail account
Do click in the paragraph "contacts" above at the left of the mail page

if you´ve checked your google account &
are you sure about you don´t have various numbers in one contact i don´t know what´s the problem
Check on the gmail website and double check a few of the numbers.....make sure there aren't duplicates from a bad sync (i.e. same numbers appearing under home and mobile for instance)
If it all looks fine, I would wipe and let it re-sync.....
I have worked with contact sync apps in an enterprise environment and always found them to be "a bit dodgy" at best.

Well i've checked it yes. The phone numbers are correct. I'm using HTC Sense btw. And what do you not get about my problem? When i click on someones picture in the contacts app i can choose different stuff to do like call or send text message. I do send text message it goes to the wrong number how do i change that.

mmm... you are perfectly understandable (since the first post) AND I´M GETTING THAT YOU ARE SAYING...but i sent to you 3 possible things that can provoke your problem... if anything works THEN I DO NOT KNOW THAT IT CAN GO BADLY...
Have you tried going on the contact details page, holding down on the number you want to text or call, then choose Set as primary number?
When dialing a Facebook contact from Contacts, Call Log or LPP People Widget, the dial pad appears with that contact's # & picture but the dialing attempt ends & I get a message of "Call has been lost".
I first noticed this after flashing CM7 N96. I've seen it on N98-N101.
From poking around several forums, I'm confident the problem is that Facebook contact phone #s import with +1 at the beginning. If I edit the contact to create a separate contact, without +1, I have no problem getting calls to dial.
I don't want to do that for over 200 contacts.
Does anybody know away to keep FB #s from importing in that format?
Anybody else seen this happen?
I find it strange that I can only find a handful of posts about it anywhere. Nobody has a solution except to change each contact.
Thanks, in advance.

Yes. The best method is to not import Facebook contacts.

I think it's still a bug. Using the plus sign as a callout prefix has been an accepted standard for many years and my cheap $10 feature phone can handle it cleanly. I find that this bug exists in all derivatives of CM 7 based ROMS but doesn't seem to exist in the Froyo based versions.

I noticed a similar issue when I used to run CM 7.2. I didn't have any of my Facebook contacts imported, though. Not sure what the problem was, but I'm on Deck's Reloaded now and haven't had the same issue.
Sent using my HTC EVO 4G and a magic wand
I use sms backup + for storing my sms and call history online.....
The sms works well
However, the call history would show only phone numbers without contact name.... showed "unknown"
I've tried to delete the google profile then sign in again............
It works for some of the contacts but some are still unknown........
Please help me

same here.. it went away when using AOKP and CM10 roms.. but whenever im using htc sense based roms it seems to happen.. pretty damn annoying!
I also use SMS Backup+ to automate SMS and Call Log uploading to Google, on a Sense ROM (ARHD 21), and it's working without issue. Only Unknown entries are literally those with Unknown numbers.
Can't be a Sense-related problem. Must be something else.
I've tested some rom's for the Galaxy Gio and i liked the most the Oxygen Rom 1.1.0. Here is the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2002632
Although i found 2 problems with it. The lack of Gtalk and the fact that it doesn't display the contact name in incoming calls.
For Gtalk i started using the talkto app and problem solve.
Now for the contacts i don't know what to do because they're sync with google and they are display correctly in the contacts menu, only when people call me that it does show the contact.
If someone could help it would be very nice!

I think the problem resolved itself. Today the contact names are appearing as they should. I did nothing to the phone.
