Contacts

hello everyone,
I finally got my desire this monday and being playing it all the time.
I have all my gmail/facebook/phone contacts under the people menu and i have filtered them as phone/with numbers only. everything looks nice, but when i try to send sms to multiple contacts it shows all my contacts, facebook/gmail. how can i fix this?
and to have my contacts sync automaticly i want to "convert" my phone contacts to gmail contacts. is it possible and if yes, will the facebook links will be stored as well.
thanks for answering in advance!
ps.in order not to get "google it" comments i did heavy searching but as the words are like people, contacts, desire, sync it is almost millions of results, mostly unuseful.

What do you mean by 'it shows all my contacts'
Do you mean in the Messaging app or in the Contacts app??
Contacts has everything linked into it Google+Facebook, your phone will link Google with the contacts on your phone so you always have your contacts on your phone and Gmail.com, Facebook contacts wont show up on Gmail.com and the pictures from Facebook wont show up on Gmail.com regardless of if they are linked to contacts on your phone or not,, i hope this helps a little bit

In messaging app. I just want to see my gmail/phone contacts, not the facebook contacts as it is in people app.
Also is there a way to just import gmail "my contacts" rather than "all contacts" as all contacts include all the email addresses you have used so far in gmail.
Thanks

If you open up Gmail.com and click contacts usually you can have a play around in there and move/delete certain contacts and thatll then sync with your phone
and as for messageing, do you mean;
'im sending message to 5 people and it shows the 5 seperate people in messaging'
or?
'its showing messages i have received on facebook as well'

I mean when I am goign to send texts to multiple recipents in messaging app, in the recipent selection windows, where you tick the people, I am getting the list of all contacts, including facebook emails and mobiel numbers. I don't want facebook but gmail and phone contacts.
Was it more clear this time?
Thanks for the superquick answer btw.

I get ya know
out of curiosity, your facebook, did you select sync all contacts or sync only contacts on phone?? (this has happened to me in the past) also if your facebook contacts have phone numbers listed on facebook itll try synching them as well

This time it is me who didn't get the question.
Are you asking if Facebook is selected under the sync menu? In sync menu. myfacebook, and gmail accounts are selected.
I just don't want my facebook contacts(numbers and emails) under the messaging app and "phone" menu.

if you go into the sync menu and click on facebook is it only synching with contacts in phone, or all facebook contacts?

There are only 3 options under Facebook under Sync:
Account settings(just selecting the sync frequency)
Sync live feed
Sync contacts
I can only select or deselect the last two, so I don't know where to look if it syncs with contacts in phone, or all facebook contacts

Go into the facebook app and on the main menu screen press Menu (on phone) and click on settings have a look in there at the bottom for 'other settings' and there should be an option for sync contacts, bringing up this screen;

if this helps any??

Now I understand you
But under the other settings it is only "Helpful Tips". Maybe it is because I am using the default facebook app?(for htc sense, that was preinstalled on the phone)

Maybe,,, it might be worth having an quick install from the market and seeing if this changes anything
other then that this might be a 'feature' in the official HTC ROM,, i never checked it though and rooted and installed a Cooked ROM 2 days after purchase

double post*
i will try the app from the market!

The app in the market comes as an update to HTC sense one, it didn't change anything as I can see.
I will try something on my own now

Keep us updated mate as there might be more out there having issues

after hours of googling and calling htc hotline:
you can't link your phone contacts to facebook contacts and keep just facebook contacts out of your "phone" and messaging tabs.
i will spend some hours on my gmail contacts and add photos manually, remove facebook sync at all.

Dang!
i have to admit that sucks,,, i like the sync contacts only in phone so some of my contacts have pics but other then that,,, that sucks!
Give it a week or 2 and someone will have Cooked a ROM or made a MOD to fix this issue

Sorry for the hasty response, was at work
Go into Calendar Settings (the top right corner cog wheel) > then Calendar > down bottom click Browser Interesting Calendars > More....and simply add, it may take a while to sync so keep refreshing!

I do these steps lots of time and it's doesn't work, why? I 'm using galaxy s 1 with: 4.2.1 and CyanogenMod 10.1

And if you want an free and open-source alternative (syncing from your phone contacts, for example imported vCards):

[Q] Sharing pics from gallery via Gmail

Hi all,
I wonder if anyone can suggest an solution to an issue I am having with my Galaxy note 2 when I try and share a picture directly from the Gallery.....when you are viewing a picture and hit the share button I am given 6 options only (bluetooth, ChatON, G Drive, Dropbox, Email and Facebook)....but no option for sharing via Gmail.....is this normal for a Samsung phone?? I'm more used to Google Nexus handsets, and they certainly have a Gmail option available in the share list.......I'm surprised I cant find this on a Samsung, as the OS is Google's own OS...albeit with the Samsung TouchWiz interface on top.
Any thoughts/ideas??
Thanks!

No problem here.
Gmail is one of the many options.

Probably a silly question, but you do have gmail set up as an account on the phone, right?
I found when i first started using the phone that my options for sharing were limited but as i've added more accounts and more apps they've all been added to the sharing list. built in mail app, gmail app, whatsapp, wordpress, instagram, dropbox. None of them were in the list at first until the accounts were set up.

yes, it's installed...i actually received the alert that you replied to this thread via gmail...the odd thing is, i had the hotmail app installed but not setup and it gave me the option to send via hotmail. when i selected hotmail it walked me through the setup and then sent the pic.
i tried to uninstall gmail and reinstall but it wouldn't allow it...
I THINK I FIGURED IT OUT...!!!
for some reason, the photos i have sync'd with picasa doesn't have the option to send via gmail (i had it on my nexus tho), however the pics NOT sync'd with picasa shows gmail as a sharing option...this is weird...

This was going to be my next question. It seems it will only allow you to share a picture if it is stored locally, except with very limited options. Picassa photos on mine will only share via;
bluetooth
chatON
google+
instagram
messaging
picassa (why, its already on there?!)
S Note
whatsapp
wordpress

this defeats the purpose of storing photos in picasa...i'm assuming this is a touchwiz issue b/c it also doesn't play nice with google music...

It is quite frustrating. Although from within dropbox app you can share via whatever means ... and you can setup cloud backup from the settings menu to use dropbox and sync photos. So this is one option. But even then you cant share a dropbox photo directly from the gallery.
Seems odd to me that there is no official google picasa app too

Crikey... I was getting really annoyed at not being able to share via gmail...
I didnt even think to scroll down on the list of apps presented! There are no scroll bars or any indication that there is anything to scroll down to!
Oh well! Cheers for making me love my Note2 a little more, even if I do feel like an idiot!

[Q] Contact List Problem

Ok... Please bear with me here. New Cell/android user SIII. I had the only contacts (6) I wanted in my phone which is associated with my Gmail #1 email address that is registered with my SIII. It was fine. I don't use this phone very much. The other day I turned my phone on and I had my entire Contact list from my GMAIL #2 account in my contacts list... All 160 of them plus the Gmail #1 (6 contacts). I must have did something in the SIII that brought all these contacts from my GMAIL #2 into my SIII Phone. I don't want this. I tried deleting one of the Contacts from GMAIL #2 from the SIII and it also deleted it from my GMAIL #2 email contact list on my desktop computer. I certainly do not want these contacts in my phone.
The questions here are...
How can I delete all of these contacts from GMAIL #2 from my phone Contact List in the SIII without deleting them from my original GMAIL #2 account.
What did I do to make this happen? I'm sure it just didn't get this way. I must have did something.
Finally: Is there some sort of Manual for this phone/android other than what I got with the phone? A practical Hands on/How to use this phone?

Tap menu and then scroll down to accounts. Have a look in the Google and Samsung accounts.
Should have options for contact sync.

Go into settings and under the accounts area click Google and remove the #2 account which should remove those contacts you don't want on your phone, then you can add the account back but when you do make sure the contacts box is unchecked when it gives you the options of what to sync. That should work for what I believe you want to do

Contacts Thanks
Thanks for the answers. I deleted the GMAIL #2 account and that solved the problems and saw the settings. I must have synced them. Now... If I bring the Gmail #2 account back on and do not sync the contacts but check to have my email only show up (Checked) on my phone will that be ok. Also... Can I just add contacts to my phone and unchecking Contacts to email #1 or #2 Contacts? I would like to be able to check my emails on #1 & #2 but just manually add contacts.
Thanks again... :laugh:

Wait, you have only 6 contacts you want in this phone?!
Honestly, it doesn't really matter how many you have in your phone, you never really have to page through them to call people. Just go to the phone dialer and start typing the number associated with the letters in their names. They pop up automatically. I have like 2200 contacts because it pulls all my work email contacts in automagically. Don't stress it, its easy to find.
Alternatively, you can always just put those 6 people on your home screen, or star them and put them in a widget....there's a lot of things you can do to isolate them.
For a good Android manual, I suggest Androidcentral.com Android 101 : http://www.androidcentral.com/tags/android-101

Ya if you go back to that same Google section In the settings then and select one at a time and uncheck the contacts box and just the emails you will be able to have both emails with none of the contacts and just add them as you want. But remember most likely whatever email you set up first will most likely save whatever contacts you add to the phone going forward

Try email widget instead of Samsung email for the email badge.
The Gmail badge almost always works, but every once in awhile I have to disable it and then re enable to get it working.

Hi,
Email wdget worked!! Thanks. It is ok with Email App now.
But no progress with gmail.
I have diabled and enabled, no progress. Sent already manš test messages for my self. They appear in the notification area but no badge is created on an app icon.
Btw, why gmail unread count setting is in too places: one in the main screen and another in Tesla screen. Maybe thats is the problem?

Have you tried to select the gmail app in the nova's settings? Because in that place it's not only a toggle, is a picker to choose the right app in order to put the number above the right icon...

I didnt know I can configure individual accounts. Toggle of one account was off. Both accounts were configured same date. And nova installed later.
No idea why one account was off by default.
Do you have more than one gmail account? Check the toggles!!
