This is a general question that has bothered me since my note 2 (still there on my s6 edge) ... I have my contacts sorted by first name but when I search a name the sort order doesn't reflect that... i.e. I have a contact named "RO" ... when I search "RO", he appears 30 contacts down the list... same with "DEB" ... etc... Is there a fix for this?

Quick question... I've just switched back to Sense from CM6, and I'm wondering if I am losing my mind.
Am I right in saying that it is NOT POSSIBLE to edit calendar entries using HTC calendar? That seems unbelievable to me, but so far the only options I can see are to create an entry or delete. There is no "edit" option. I'm 99% certain that the AOSP calendar has this.
Can someone please confirm?
Thanks,
Matt_TX
EDIT: Even more bizarre... I CAN edit entries created on my Exchange Calendar, but I CANNOT edit entries created on my Google Calendars. So weird!
My edit option seems to depend on where the entry comes from. If I add something striaght to the calendar I can edit it as I please. If it's something that sync'ed from lets say Facebook then I can not edit it. My work exchange also syncs and it all depends on what the event is and if it's something I originally made or not. All in all I think it depends on the type of even it is but I will also be watching this thread to see if someone has a little more info they can chime in with.
This is really very strange...
I can add, edit and delete apppointments on my Exchange calendar - regardless of where the entry was orignally made - Phone, OWA or Outlook.
I can ONLY add or delete (NO EDIT) appointments on my Google calendar(s) - regardless of where the entry was originally made - Phone or Web.
Anyone know why this is the case? AOSP calendar works just fine... Is this a bug in Sense?
Is there a way to combine contact list? Im still little new to android phoness (had a Touch Pro 2) and i guess it is set up to show list from your phone and any google account seperate. When i add a new contact i have to choose one list or the other....is there a way to either have both phone list synced/merge or for me to save the new contact on both list? I would really only like to deal with one list is possible. Thanks
it sets it up to show all at once. you can choose to see which account contacts to display but defualt, its all merged
Gmail automatically adds contacts you've emailed into your contact list, they belong to "All Contacts" group.
Manually added contacts belong to "My Contacts" group.
But I couldn't get the phone to display *only* "My Contacts". (Contacts -> Hide/Show -> Google...)
Tried Googling the issue, solutions available but don't seem to work on Defy/Motorola.
Any idea?
Thx in advance.
Anyone...?
I have the same problem, which I posted to the Motorola Owners forums as well, only I don't just want to not display those contacts, but prevent then from syncing as well. I can't yet post working links:

After syncing my new Defy with my Google account, I've found all the contacts in the phone - not just the meaningful ones from My Contacts that have phone numbers and names - but every last single email address has created a separate contact in the phone.
My question is this: how can I limit the synced contacts to a group, like My Contacts in GMail?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So far, I have not found a way to limit the display or the syncing of these contacts.
There are 2 apps for contacts, the one that is embedded in the dialer (the one that SUCKS), and the other is a stand alone Contacts which allows yo Manage groups in a certain way. I'd like to have good one embedded in the Dialer next to Recent and Favorites.. but im no dev. An certainly is annoying having to switch between them.

Like everybody I was suprised that it is not possible to delete the frequently called history in ICS (or maybe not surprised, because Google is not in the business of deleting history, rather the opposite). I also was surprised that various cleaner apps don't work in ICS.
Anyway, after some research I learnt that you just have to delete the contents table data_usage_stats in /data/data/com.android.providers/databases/contacts or so. Not a big deal with aSqlitemanager and aShell.
But now I discovered exactly the same in the google search bar.
In the google search settings I unchecked every searchable item expect "People". if I tap into the google search, I can see my frequently called contacts.
Does anybody have an idea what database I have to clean to get rid of this?

Disable "google search" in apps.
Nice side benefit....it removes the google search widget from the desktop.
Yes, I know.
But I would like to keep the google search app.
Just want to know where this "frequently called" information is stored. I can not find the database table.
A solution can be found here (thanks @kynon)

But basically you have to set the following values to 0
last_time_contacted
times_contacted
in table contacts and raw_contacts
Is there any way to change the order of how the stock S6 Edge dialer displays contacts when they are calling?
I have contacts from different parts of the world with REALLY long names and the last names usually are not displayed when the person is calling.
So, basically, I want stock dialer to display Last name first and then First name. I managed to change the view in the Contacts app, but not in the dialer...
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
