Dear all members,
I notice that I can only add group in phonebook or assign contact in phonebook over Gmail account on the internet and there is no way we can do that in the X10?
Am I right?
This isn't totally the answer but an alternative...
Try an app from the market if available to you... MeContacts let you set up groups by giving you a screen of tiles, 3 by 5, 4 by 5, and 5 by 5 (I think) then you assign a tile to each contact. You name each screen as you want ie family, friends, work. The only thing the main phone book let you do was star your favorites so basically one group only.
After updating to 2.1. Contact grouU or Gangbook got no chance. Any alternative?

Already been solved. I try to delete all contacts and a little bit modify the setting. Don't forget to clear data in menu application-manage app-phonebook-clear data. And restore from phone book menu. Not backup and restore menu. Then, install gangbook. And voila. It is done.

I can't find these widgets on htc hub, get more widgets, or the market so here you guys are. The resolution is messed up a little bit but its hardly noticeable
Just install like you normally would. Drag onto sdcard and install, download from your phone and install, or adb install
I am really disappointed that these aren't available for the 3D. I use the tasks notepad almost daily... the HTC hub is kinda pointless IMO... very limited.
ya me too, the task widget is soo convenient and useful, i dont understand why they didnt include it.
they got replaced wit da agenda widget..lol..garbage...
Anyone else scared of the permissions you have to give these apps?
example:
*Your personal information - add or modify calendar events and send email to guests, read Browser's history and bookmarks, read calendar events, read contact data, write Browser's history and bookmarks, write contact data
*Services that cost you money - directly call phone numbers, send SMS messages
*Your messages - com.android.email.permission.READ_ATTACHMENT, edit SMS or MMS, read SMS or MMS, receive MMS, receive SMS
*Your Accounts - Google mail, manage the accounts list, use the authentication credentials of an account
*System tools - bluetooth administration, change network connectivity, change Wi-Fi state, change WiMAX state, modify global system settings, prevent phone from sleeping, retrieve running applications, set time zone, write Access Point Name settings, write sync settings

it does, but just doesn't align because of the resolution. Maybe someone can mess around with the .xml files to see if it can be aligned.
Can anyone make it so I can use them on any launcher... I want the notes app for nova launcher
Hi All,
Before you say it, I know what I'm doing and understand how Google contacts work, I had a HTC HD2 (thanks Pongster and XDA!) and I am used to Android.
I know how Google contacts work, infact I submitted a bug fix to AweSync to fix up their syncing of Google Contacts with Lotus Notes.
Why does the Samsung Galaxy 1 (and 2!) show me _ALL CONTACTS_ when trying to SMS people? or when I try to save a newly dialled number into contacts, it shows all contacts?
I don't want to SMS an email address! I don't want to sift through 1,300 contacts yet this idiot phone is showing me them.

It's listing email Address's in the SMS TO: field - yet I've CLEARLY unticked "All contacts" and I've made it only show contacts with a phone number.
What is wrong with this thing?
EDIT: also, forgetting my ring tone every time I reboot isn't impressing me either.
Okay, I can't answer all your problems, and I do agree that the management of contacts on this phone is pretty poor, but there's obviously ways round certain issues.
One thing that will immediately help you is to use the contacts app to send SMS, rather than the SMS app. Select your contact (filtered as shown in your post) and you can swipe them left to SMS or right to call. That's a pretty handy feature.
However, if you're sending a message to more than 1 person you're back to square 1. I'd strongly recommend getting GO SMS Pro and GO Contacts (both free) from the Market. They're excellent replacements and I'm sure you'll be a LOT happier with them.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

It does what you describe above. I don't know what you expect it to do though. You dial a number, click "Add to contacts" or "New contact" to either list all your contacts or create a new one.
is there any solution to this, i quite like the messaging app, but find it quite annoying when i have to search through hundreds of contacts, or else exit out to the contact application to text some1 who's actually in my contacts list ....
Its not a deal breaker for me, i prefer the stock than go sms or handcent, or any alternative i've tried, so if there is no fix i'll grin and bear it but if there is please help out
.... its not that i prefer the stock to any other, its just that no other provides anything that makes me want to move from stock, and since both will be running anyways it seems pointless to be wasting battery .... also i found double contacts problems with other apps aswell

It's just poor design by Samsung.

Why? I think it is a good idea, since I very often MMS to email addresses! It is very handy to automatically downsize an image to MMS size when you are sending it to a person who you know will be looking at the email on their phone (e.g. my friend in Japan doesn't have MMS at all, over there nearly everything is email).
Been wondering about this too, i know the contact app you can customize what to show, which is fine, but the sms app show everyone you have been in contact with on google. Only "fix" i've found so far is to use another SMS app that can filter the contact list.
The solution is very simple. Just open display options in contacts and select only display contacts with numbers. Also untick everything that you don't want it to display. I don't save any numbers in phone or sim card so I save it to gmail account.
Even if I select only gmail it shows lots unnecessary contacts. So I went to gmail on my laptop and opened the contacts (phone book or something like that. Its been over a year so I don't remember)
I created a new category (u can choose an existing one) and transferred every single contact that I needed under it.
And thats it. Everytime I format my phone I just go to contact display settings on my phone and only choose the category that I made. And it only shows the contacts that I need.
It works also if u want to save a contact. I chose to save contacts to my gmail account when it asks. And everytime u save it saves it to the category that u choose.
I have been using this over a year and work flawlessly. I remember beig sick of choosing amongst 1000s of contacts.
I tried to explain as I could. If there is a problem ask me I will try to help.
Edit:
I realized this doesn't answer ur question about sms. This doesn't fix that SMS list behaviour.
I messed up a bit when trying to call someone, so let me try to explain my situation before I ask.
I'm using CM7 and Go Launcher. I then use the Go Contacts widget for my favorites.
When I click on a contact, the little menu comes up for Call, Contact, SMS etc.
I then choose Call and this contact has 2 phone numbers, one on my phone and one through facebook.
I chose the one through facebook which has +1 in front of it and by accident I selected "Use this number by default".
This particular number does not seem to work so I need to use the other number.
For that I have to clear the default.
That's where my question comes in...How do I clear that default?
Normally one would go to Manage Applications and clear default for a particular app. But the ContactWidget has no defaults set.
So needless to say, I'm a little confused.
Does anyone have a tip for me? Reinstalling didn't work either.
Mind you, this is only for the little "quick contact bar/menu".
If you have titanium pro then use the wipe data option for the app.
sinkster
I guess the question remains...which app holds that particular data?
I'm not sure its contact widget that does it
Hi guys, I have a problem with my sony xperia U , I have some favorites with multiple numbers, mistaking sending a call I checked "remember this choice" when the phone asked me whitch of the numbers of a same contacts I want to call.So now in that favorite contact i no longer have the choice of multiple numbers and I have to use the standard contact manager to access the other numbers.How do I remove this choice? I suppose is something that I have to clean in settings/apps/all apps, but the only thing that I was able to clean lead me only to the choice between skype and dialer, can't find a favorites app. Any suggestion?
Thanks
have you tried
cleaning ''Clear Defaults of skype''
