Dear all GS2 holders,
I'd like to know to what extent how GS2's contacts compatible with Gmail's contacts?
I am using HTC Incredible S, all fields and data in Gmail's contacts can be synchronized with Incredible S and vice versa.
However, I have the experience that Sony Ericcson's Arc which it even doesn't have birthday field and many other fields in its Contacts. Have to download 3rd party app to show those fields on the phone. Therefore I am worried whether Galaxy SII's contacts is fully compatible with Gmail's contacts that all fields can be synchronized properly.
It would be great if you can take some photos to show how many standard and customized fields in the Contacts on GS2. Thank you!
it allows 1st name, 2nd name, home/mobile/work/home fax/work fax/pager/other/custom number, internet call, home/work/other/custom email, multiple IMs, address, organisation, notes, nickname, website, birthday, anniversary
i'm pretty sure it'll be fine for you

Thanks for your reply, really appreciate it.
Is it only has 1st and 2nd names? how about prefix, suffix and middle name as shown in my attached screenshot of Gmail contacts?

From what I've gathered, not really. Although I'm not a hardcore Pocket database hacker. You could put a second mobile phone under 'car', which would at least leave intact the ability to send SMS to that number. But having used the Nokia 9210, I will readily agree this Pocket Outlook thing just isn't good enough as a contacts manager.
I use Agenda Fusion as a third party add-on because I like their easy entry of calendar items (among other things) but it also has these limitations because it interfaces with the same database underneath.
hi, xda`lers
i have a question... a week ago i sortet all my contacs in my contact book by putting the first name in the first name box and the last name in the last name box, so that the built in facebook stuff recognizeses the names and links them to there facebook picture and so on, like it should be
my question is now.. now that i put the last name also in it , the contacts are sortet by there last name first meaning, that some random guy called brad pitt , instead of being in the categorie of "B" now is unter the category of "P"
sure i could link the fb accounts manually, but i flash a lot, and to do this every time would be a timekiller
so?, someone knows, how to sort all the contacts by their first name?, would be awesome
thx for the help Jur1nator

Well, are these contacts synced with outlook? If so, you can change the sort settings in outlook and I believe they may be seen differently on ur phone. Also push this to the XDA_UC experts who probably can build some kind of registry setting wherein those fb settings remain constant in case of new ROM update.

dont forget that even after you have changed all your current ones, when you add a new one it will still save last/first unless you go all teh way to the bottom of the new/edit page, click more and change teh displa as
First, I am a complete newbie with tasker.
I am trying to create a profile with which I wish to auto-send an sms to wish people, for example on their birthday.
So birthdays, set from contact appear on my calendar as "personName. Birthday"
I am able to trigger an action reading "*Birthday" in calendar event.
But how do I pass the personName from the trigger, that matched "*Birthday" to the action to use as contact (directly or by extracting number for that contact) and the enter in the message like: Happy Birthday personName!
Any help is highly appreciated!
Thanks in advance..

Bump!
With Variable Split you can split the event title into multiple variables. That's what I've found so far; I'll keep looking for a way to search your contacts.
By the way, how did you get a birthday event created from a contact birthday?
EDIT: if you can add the contact's phone number to the description of the calendar event then you can extract the number using a variable.
Thank you for your reply gollyzila.
Adding birthday to calendar: When I add a birthday to the contact record, it automatically shows up in the calendar in that format. And so I cant change the format as well!
Found variable split under variables category, but could not find how to get the event title in that task.. Couldnt find any variable in the list of variables Tasker suggests that could be holding event title.
Please help..
No problem. I like figuring out problems like these.
In the Variable Split edit scene, tap the orange tag icon and tap Calendar Event Title (%CALTITLE).
Without the phone number, I'm not sure how you can search for it using the contact's name.
Thank you Gollyzilla.
That is where I am looking for the variable, but cant find it..
Also, did not find the variable in tasker's documentation.
Also found a conversation in tasker's google group mentioning that its not possible to read actual calendar entry, but that is more than a year old, so not sure if it has changed meanwhile.
Does this require any specific plugin? Also tried the calendar plugin for locale from the market, it is only the condition plugin, so in the action, the entry text is still not available..
Please help.
You probably just have to install the beta version from here: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/beta.html
If you purchased Tasker through the Play Store tap download 1.2.2b3m. If you purchased it directly download 1.2.2b3.
Hi Guys, im trying to figure out how to make a similar profile, if you were successful with yours can yous share?
I've been searching all over and can't seem to find a suitable app for this.
A family member has jumped from an endless parade of dumbphones to an Android based smartphone. Got all setup with a Google account and then I sat for about an hour or so manually entering names and numbers into Google Contacts, so they'll sync all nice and easily to the phone.
Now, no matter how I try to explain it, she doesn't quite get that if you open the contacts list on the phone and select a name, it presents you with all configured numbers, home, cell, work, etc, which you then just tap one to call.
No, she'd rather do extra work and create a separate contact, one for each possible number. "So that it looks like it used to...."
"Mr Contact One (home)"
555-555-5555
"Mr Contact One (cell)"
555-111-5555
"Mr Contact One (work"
555-222-5555
So, does anyone know of a contacts app that displays all numbers in an auto-expanded list? Sort of like...
"Mr Contact One"
\_555-555-5555 (home)
555-111-5555 (cell)
555-222-5555 (work)
Hi,
Is there a way to chage the list of Contact List. I mean i have a large contact list. I add company name, job or title to my contacts. But when someone call me on the screen, it shows only name and surname by default. (Normally). But i have a lot of X Y on my list. I couldn't figure out until i answered the call. And i dont want to add company name or title to the name, surname fields.
Is there a simple way to change this like X(Name) + Y(Surname) + Z(Company) like a string concat or something.
I dont want to use 3rd party application but if you have something on your mind. Feel free to answer here.
Thanks.
