Hello there,
I'm currently facing an issue I can't solve myself.
I've a couple of contacts in my list I can't delete. When I tap on the contact the context menu opens but it does not have the option to delete. This happens only with a couple of contacts. May somebody knows what I can do?

Can't give any tips because i have no insight on what kind of contact it is. Is for instance a cloud contact like google or is it stored on the sim of the device ?
What info do you see when you open the contact ?

so I have deleted my email accounts, both of them but manilla still shows one of them. When I click on it from the manilla tab, it does not do anything. I can flip thru them as if they are still there but I can not open the email like normal. Windows knows that it has been deleted but manilla still thinks it is there.
Anyone know of a way I can delete it?
Thanks,
Jeff
If you're not going to have email accounts on your device, then why not just remove the Mail tab altogether?

I want email, I have two email accounts, but with this phantom, which happens to be a copy of my work email, it shows three.
When Make the new account called "work" it it says that I already have an account named work and I have to name it something else.
When I look at the accounts in windows mobile, there only shows two. Manilla is convinced that there are three.
I have tried to search the registry to delete all things named my work email once I deleted both my accounts but it is still there.
Anyone have any ideas?
THanks,
Jeff
Does anyone have any ideas about this? I am sure that a hard reset would do it but the issue is not worth that, I would rather just find a fix for it.
thanks all,
Jeff

does disabling sense allow you to create the work e-mail?
double check all registry entries, it most likely won't be labeled work either.

I've encountered this in the past but can't remember how exactly I got rid of it. I remember I used a program such as memmaid, sktools or pocket mechanic to delete the phantom account and then just readded it. I've been checking my phone to find out how I did it but as of yet i've not found it. Will post back as soon as I do though.
Sorry I cant be much more help at the mo, but just know this issue can be fixed without a hard reset.

Thank you All!
I used the mailAccountRepair file from this thread to do the repair, then I was able to see it in the winmo email and delete it.
thanks all!!
The facebook pictures for my contacts used to show up on the stock messaging app, but after restoring a nandroid it doesn't anymore. This is also the case with other messaging apps, so I don't think it's related to the app.
Is there any way I can make messaging apps show contact pictures again? (the contact pictures are still there btw - checked the dialer)
Have you checked if your FB account is still linked and set to sync? If yes, try removing & re-adding it. If all else fails, try linking contacts manually.
I'm not sure about the stock app, but is there a part in the menu that you need to tick to show contact pics?
You could also check your accounts and make sure that the facebook sync is turned on etc. I'm just throwing ideas out by the way, I'm not really sure lol.

Ah, I didn't try the obvious one. The account was still linked and was set to sync, but I deleted and re-added my facebook account and now it's working.
Thanks for the help guys . I should have tried this before posting a new thread here, my bad!

Apology accepted.
Glad we could help!

I thought this was going to be a more serious problem but all I had to do was re add my facebook account thanks for the help!
thank you so much. I was searching for a while, but turns out to be a simple fix.
i had the same problem and i have managed to fix it by this way, thanks.
however i have another similar issue which i couldn't fix until now. even if sender's facebook or profile picture seems, my own picture doesn't seem at the conversation.
is there anyone who managed to overcome this problem??
I'm having this "odd" problem too.. however I do have facebook sync-ed (similar to leventmann i guess)
The problem appears to be that the messaging app thinks the contact comes from the SIM (thus lack of profile pics).
Short of deleting the contact form SIM, i've managed to 'trick' the phone into using the facebook/google contact by fiddling around with area codes.
However, whenever I have the contact pic, I then get this "ugly" extra (M <mobile numb>) appended to the name:
ie.
John Doe (M 1234567890): blah blah blah
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Which I guess is 'ok', but it just takes up so much space in the message itself (even more so with the new Sense 3.0 messages having an iPhone-like look with messages being left/right speech bubbles)
At first I thought it was because the contact had 2 mobiles associated with the account, so removed (unlinked) one of the mobiles, but problem still exists.
Any ideas on how to keep the contact pic but remove (M xxxxx) ?
Also, is there a way to get the original htc messaging style back? (Sort of like the one you see if you go to "Persons -> <contact> -> Messages"; a basic list of the messages where sender/recipient avatars are on the left...)
I've got a bunch of my contacts "linked" to their FB accounts, but for some reason their pics are all pixelated, I'm currently using RCMix's ROM.
When I was using SGBS ROM the pics weren't all pixelated.. anyone else have this problem?
I don't think it's specific to the ROMs mind you.
hmm, no dno't have problems with pixulated FB pics, when I do manage to get the to display they display fine.
Small update...I've noticed something that may be part of the cause of my problems... in the "People" application the SIM numbers/contacts are not shown (I chose to not view them). However, when I open 'Phone' (to dial someone) I see the SIM numbers/contacts!!!
I vaguely remember seeing this in another thread (shall go digging for it later) but wondering if anyone reading this thread knows how to fix it?
Thanks!

I have changed my ROM from Starburst Froyo to Cool VisionS and i can see my own profile picture now after creating a Google profile with picture.
However now i have this problem above. Pictures are pixelated and i am not sure if it is because of ROM. Another suspicious point is : Before i had "Facebook for HTC Sense" in the settings for syncronization but now in this ROM i have only "Facebook" to syncronize. Do you think it can be related to one of these reasons?
Yes, i found the solution for pixelation problem (at least for my situation)
When i tried to add account for syncronization (under settings - accounts&syncronization) i noticed that there is also "Facebook for HTC Sense" which requires another login process.
Use this account for syncronization and remove simply "Facebook".
It fixed pixelation problem
That did indeed fix the pixelated picture problem for me as well.
The pictures for my contacts in the messaging app are missing though, aside from the few that I have setup to use a picture on my SD card.
have you ever done "fix permissions" from CWM?
permissions's related problem.

I have exactly same problem. Any ideas how to fix this?
I've tried to save my own number to contacts and linked it to my own facebook, but the pic just wont show up? I'm using CM-3.7 rom.
I am experiencing the same issue under stock 2.3.3, from time to time (in a SMS thread, my contact's picture is shown as default). The only solution i've found for this is to open my contact's details and re-add my custom picture.
I can't even find my own contact profile from the phone? Is this someting to do with CM-3.7 ROM or am I just blind? In the stock ROM, it was first at the contactbook, but after I installed the ROM I haven't seen it anymore.
Hey,..
You know the icon you get in your notification bar when the phone found a link between facebook contacts and phone contacts and whatsapp contacts ect.,
Then you click link it or dismiss.
I like this and works well.
but the last couple of day its been failing and annoying me.
there are 4 contacts its keep asking me to link.
over and over again.
doesnt matter if i link or dismiss.
i went tot the user in my phone list and linked them, seems to be good.
and then some time later it asks me again..
everytime the same 4.
Anyone else have this or know what this might be?
Its really really really annoying!
Thanx m8's!
On my phone I notice it appears briefly then goes away again a second later, like it's loading the info. It's never really bothered me though.
Have you tried deleting the 4 contacts and then adding them again?
I had the same problem for weeks...I had o2 listed in my contacts with various numbers (customer services, top up, overseas cs etc etc)
bugged me so much as no matter what i did, dismiss or request link it would keep coming back listing the same contact multiple times...ended up deleting the contact and not replacing ...didnt happen again ..
same here... whatsapp repetatively notifies me of contact links although they are already linked and there - drives me nuts. what should I delete? the contact on the phone or the contact on whatsapp ??!?

Hey guys,
Just tried out the new parallel apps feature from ob21.
But with the new account from the second SIM i dont have any of the contacts from my phone.
Anyone got a solution for that?
Did you try to give permision to access contacts in the second instanse of the app ?

Yup.
Does it work for you with your contacts?
Same problem for me too....any solution yet?
May be the feature is still under development
When i try to view system contacts it pops up the error given in the attached screenshot ....
I guess we have to wait for a fix then from oneplus.
If someone finds a workaround pls let us know here.
Still this is a great feature one plus added, once its fully working it will be awesome.
I figured it out.
Easiest method I found is going to the Parallel Whatsapp -> Settings -> Contacts -> Show all Contacts
This forces a refresh on Parallel Whatsapp.
You don't have to toggle back to check mark. just pressing it will refresh the contact list.

the thread is from august dude xD the problem is long fixed with following betas.
thx anyway
I have the 5T latest update 4.7.6 still has this issue
Go into where you have your contacts stored whether it's on phone or email, edit the contact number and place the area code before the number example 1 555 then number. It work for me. Go back to whatsapp and refresh contacts.
GUYS PROBLEM SOLVED
go to settings of the phone and follow the below steps
advanced features ---> dual messenger ---> scroll down to find the "USE SEPERATE CONTACT LIST"...switch the setting off for it --->go back to whatsapp and refresh the contact list
Hi everyone,
So how do I?
I use "set as" from gallery....nope...nothing happens.
I open the contact and choose edit and all there is is the phone number, no way I see to add a picture.
Oh I searched and of course got info about 15 years old for android 2 or something, always helpful how up to date the net is.
Thank you for your up to date help.
No problem here...
Open contact, choose edit and click on the picture/icon. Then I can select icon, choose gallery or camera to select new icon.
Working may depend on where your contacts are stored... (google, phone, Microsoft exchange, etc). You can change standard location in contact - settings (3 dots)

Therein lies my problem, when I choose edit there is no picture icon, only contact name and number.
Is it possible this is because my contacts are on the sim and not saved on the phone?
I will give that a try, did not think of it before, thank you for prompting the thought.

It is more than possible since the contacts are at your sim card. Try moving them on your phone and see if that helps.

Yes worked a treat!
However getting the contacts onto the phone was tricky.
I exported by sharing to FX file manager and saved to the SDCard then imported from there as there is no import from Sim option for some bizarre reason.
But got there in the end.
Thank you.
