Just received my Desire HD and after 1st sync I noticed a message saying "Matched contacts suggestion" with a list of some of my contacts...can anyone advise what this does?
If you're talking about when you link contacts, then I believe it just links certain contacts together into the same contact. You have to check through them though, because sometimes they may be trying to link two different people into the same contact.
Yeah, for example it may suggest you to link a Facebook contact to a phone contact, and if it is the same guy, you will see his Facebook updates when he/she calls you etc.
Yes, linked contact...its strange though as I dont have duplicates, so not sure why it would try to link some contacts...under what criteria? Thanks anyway.

assumedly you've signed into facebook or twitter.
What it's doing is going through your social network friends list and saying "Aha! I have that name in the phonebook. They probably don't want them in there twice, so I'll ask if they want me to link them"
As I'm signed into facebook and twitter via the app and via sense, some of my contacts have 4 links! It's so much better than having 5 contacts in my phonebook for each person
yes, that would make sense..but I dont have facebook or twitter (probably only person on the planet)..I did find in my google contacts online, that as well as "My Contacts", there was a group made called "Other contacts", which had copy of all my contacts, so I deleted the group..everything was ok for a while then I got message again asking if i want to link some contacts..weird.
even worse: no info whatsoever is given with regards to what it means if you tap the name and it becomes green? Do you eed to tap all of them?
pull down the notification bar and open the linked contacts (if its still asking you) and it'll tell you who it thinks can be linked...you can choose to accept or discard the suggestion. simple
and don't worry you can always unlink contacts later should you wish to.
Get it again
Hello,
I received this question also and I was selecting all my links one by one.
I thought what if I do 'dismiss all', then maybe I can 'select all' after that..
But all my suggestions where gone..
How can I get all the suggestions again?.. I have many contacts..
Thanks in advance from The Netherlands.
Best regards,

Hi all, i have flashed the revolution rom 4 and have the following question
I use a lot the people widget. All my contacts are google contacts and are automatically syncronised.
When i set a default action for a certain contact (any contact), after the next automatic sync the action is gone and i have to reset it again.
I have different groups in contacts which are linked to people widget, therefore suggesting to move the needed contacts to favourite group or starred in androir will no do.
Thanks in advance

Hi !
I have exactly the same issue on my HTC Desire S (S-OFF'ed, rooted and with the official HTC ROM for Europe (1.47.401.4)).
It is very weird because some of my contacts have the default action setting permanently set.
Maybe I have set their default action when I had my old (Orange) ROM and since the ROM change there is no effect at all ? I precise that the reset occurs only when there is a sync (auto or manual) of Google Contacts...
Kyrillos , have you installed a custom ROM like me ?
Do someone know a way to fix this annoying issue or have/had the same issue with other conditions (no ROM change?) ?
Thanks for your help !
Alright ! I found the solution after changing my keywords in searches (it is sometimes difficult for a non-english to find correct keyword to describe an issue ).
Anyway, here it is the solution : http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-743569.html
Whatsapp on sense 3.5 and above wont show teh images from the contacts menu. I have all my contacts with images from facebook and there profiles are linked but the same images dont appear on whatsapp. I tried adding another program facebook sync that I previously used on nonesense ROMs and it still doesnt work. Anyone know of a fix or workaround??
I just noticed that this question was answered somewhere else ... will delete ...
cant figure out how to delete this so please... if any moderator sees this please feel free to delete it
So a couple of things:
First off I'm not new to android but I am new to jelly bean (skipped from 2.3 to 4.2.2 soooo ya)
Second, I understand that google has removed the ability to sync your contact photos with facebook but, I'm running Carbon 1.4 and just yesterday I went to add a contact who I'm friends with on facebook to my gmail contact list through the people app and as I was typing her name her facebook contact popped up and I was asked if I'd like to merge the two and I did so I got her contact photo, the whole shebang. Which was highly unexpected but equivalently awesome.
But now I have the problem of in the quick settings panel there's the profiles button with, what's supposed to be my contact listing, has no picture, no number, nada also it's saved on my local "SD" not my gmail so it cannot be synced when flashing new ROMs. So when I go to edit my contact information I can add everything manually, but I have my own contact listing in my contact synced with my gmail that I'd prefer to link it to so I don't have to re-setup my own picture and stuff each time I reflash a rom.
SO my question is, is there a way to sync my personal contact information with facebook and gmail or even just gmail so the information never changes?
thank you
Hello,
First, I hope you are all in good health.
On Android devices most of the time the default is contact firstname sorting. But for more than 20 years I'm used to sort my contacts by name. It was possible to modify this parameter in the contact app. But since I have my Note10+ - or maybe Android 10 - I cannot find anymore the contat name sorting option. Have you noticed this regression ? Have you found a solution to sort contacts by names ?
Many thanks for your help.
