I go to Contacts settings and set to display only Google Contacts. As I know this should have defaulted new contacts to be added into Google and you no longer need to choose which phonebook to store it from the dropdown menu, but it doesn't work on my GPro.
Any1 knows how to solve this? Thanks in advance

While adding a new contact u would get an option to link that contact to ur google account(save to cloud which can be synced by using ur gmail id) or save it on phone memory only or on sim.. Is this what u are asking? Try saving a new account and watch out for these options.

I'm aware of the options, and it is the option dropdown menu that I want to default to Google. It's annoying having to change it to google everytime I want to add a new contact.
As a matter of fact, I can live without using the phone memory at all!

Looks like this phone really locks down the contact book. You can't even edit your own profile info once you set it. At the top of the contact list there's an entry called "ME." I went to edit it and put my home landline phone as my home phone, then added my cell as a mobile. The home number is greyed out and you can neither edit nor delete it. What kind of nonsense is this?
I'm also looking for a solution.
Clearing data/cache from Contacts and Contact Storage from either Apps settings or TitaniumBackup do not work.
Really frustrating. I'm having a hard time moving my contacts from other phones which can't sync with Google.

Try to use rainbow contacts (get it from playstore) if your other phone had bluetooth on it..
Is there any solution for this Contact problem that Google can't be the default but always the Phone ?
I was hoping upgrading to kitkat would change this, but it didn't.

Is it possible to make facebook only sync with people i already have on the phone? As it is now, it adds anyone in my facebook friends that have added a number to my phone list, would rather have it so that i can manually sync the contacts i have on the phone already, or that it only synced those that already where on the phone, is this possible?
I don't know if it's possible. But in the "Contact" app you can press "Menu" then click on "Display" (i think) and choose which contact's list will appear !
I hope it will help you.
It makes them disappear from people but not the dialer really Annoying I hoped froyo would have got rid of this issue

Yea, that's what am talking about, i know it's possible to not show them in the contacts/people app, but they still show up in the dialer.
Does anyone know of a better contacts manager? Hopefully one that can show google groups. I would really like the ability to link my Facebook friends with my contacts, sort of like the way the HTC Sense and Moto Blur does it.
I don't know if there's one that does what you want, but there is "Contacts GroupU" that works with Groups, and "Star Contacts" that is more of a stock replacement. I use both.
I may not fully understand your question but you can add your facebook contacts through the contacts settings. I did it on accident and my contacts were flooded with everyone in my facebook friends. If that is what you are looking for, you do it through contacts}settings}display options.
If this isn't what you are, good luck.

The stock contacts can be linked with facebook and twitter, just sign in to the apps and there are options to sync your contacts. If they do not automatically sync you can manually link the contacts, contacts > edit contact > menu > join.
I do think sense did a better job of automatically matching contacts than the stock contacts app on Froyo, I had to manually link more contacts on the G2 than on the Mytouch Slide.
The default contacts does it.. But there is a app in the market "phonebook 2.0" you should check it out

Or if you're rooted, remove the relevant APK's
Thanks, removing apk's sounds ideal, was rooted until I upgraded to 2.3.3, now gingebreak doesn't work.

should do the trick, did for me
How simple is this?
Settings > "Accounts and Sync:" "Facebook" then uncheck it. Done.
Simple if it worked, i'm looking at the gray icon in 'manage accounts' and still see the F in the notifications bar.

Use gingerbreak on 2.3.2, then OTA update to 2.3.3 (it's still rooted!), kill the facebook apk's..
How do I get back to 2.3.2? I just unlocked the bootloader if that's going to help me any?

Indeed, if autosync is on you will get the facebook notification icon and a "cannot sync" message regardless of the facebook account sync options.
I just removed the account altogether as i don't really use facebook that much, so web based access is enough.
Hmm, I think I just want to remove all of this FB integration off my phone, I just need to figure out how to get back to 2.3.2
You just have to do one sync and then go to settings and uncheck facebook sync. If you never enter your Facebook account it'll keep asking you to enter it. That's how it work for me.

I i want to delete InfiniteView.apk, is this needed for anything?, and what it is for, i believe is a higher resolution and animated visualization mode for the contacts, but if i want the contacts in plain mode and save space and memory, can i delete it without problems?
thanks
the the little "infinity" logo u get when u press on a contacts picture, and it shows up all of there info, like extra numbers, emails, address, stuff like that. by all means get rid of it, but u wont be able to see or edit contact details without it (i think)
No you can't, without it you wont be able to select a contact to call I believe; I removed it a few months ago and you can restore it after you remove it so I suggest you download titanium backup and then try using it.
Thanks
Yeah, it definitely messes up your contacts and stops you calling from them.

whay about facebook in infinite view, if i delete facebook, will there be unusable facebook icons on infiniteview?
You can delete anything Facebook. As long as you don't need Facebook. Before flashing any ROM I always delete Facebook stuff. You can always install the app from the market and move it to your SD card, but you won't have any integrated stuff. Or just use your browser.

i mean because i opened infiniteview.apk and saw facebook icons there, if i dont have facebook installed, does this icons appear in infiniteview somewhere as buttons or anything?
You can sync your Facebook friends' contact details to your phone's contacts. Maybe that's why there's Facebook icons in there?

Are you rooted? Do you ever use the Locations app for anything else?

Try the following:
In the app drawer
Go to "Car"
Go to settings.(Press the small buttons below the weather, clock etc)
Go to default navigation app and change it to what you want there.
I'm also having trouble with this. When ever I click on a contact address it opens up HTC Locations, and there are no defaults sets for Locations app to clear.

Thanks, that solved the problem. :good:
However there is tiny issue with it; when opening google maps with "Select other map" option, that dreadful 3 dot menu option appears on the bottom, and it stays there (even inside Google navigation if I load it from maps) till i switch out of the app and switch back in again. A minor inconvenience, but far better than always going to edit contact > Copy address > load Google maps > Paste and search for the address.
