I'm on an Android 2.2 ROM, and I can't figure out how to create groups in my contacts list! The contacts app has PHONE, CALL LOG, CONTACTS, and FAVORITES tabs. Shouldn't there be a group tab too? Or is android missing this basic functionality?
Hi, I had the same "problem", and that's why I installed GO Contacts.
What phone do you use? I've got Galaxy S2 and there are group functionality in the standard contact list. It is easy to miss though since you can only see 4 items at the top so sometimes you need to swipe the upper bar with keypad, logs, contacts, favorites and groups.

You can also make google contact groups online through gmail then contacts.

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.

Anyone who used Windows Phone 7 probably seen the way default Text Messeging app integrates with Facebook and WLM
is tere something like that for Android ?
an app tha would work with your contact list, if you want to send a message to a contact it would tell you if person is Online on Facebook or WLM if not then send a text.
or Show if a contact availible on FB or WLM in Text Messaging app

I have a Galaxy Nexus with stock Android 4.0.2. On day one, I imported a bunch of contacts by writing a small program using the contacts API. This worked great, and they all show up as "phone-only, unsynced contact" in the contact list, which is exactly what I want. When I now try to manually add a new contact through the phone's menus, I have no choice but to add it as a "Google contact". How can I add it as local (unsynced) from the menus? If this, for some strange reason, isn't possible, then surely someone out there has made an app that does this?
Thanks for any help.
here's my fix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1808037
I have several contacts with several phone numbers between mobile, home, office, work, fax, etc... whenever I want to send a text to any of those contacts and i type their name in the To: field, it lists all their numbers every time and i have to scroll down and select the mobile number.
this doesn't happen in windows phone, where the sms app only lists the contact's mobile number, and it only shows you the contact's numbers twice if the contact has more than one mobile number.
also, in windows phone you can create a group of contacts and then you can send a text to the entire group and it knows to select only their mobile numbers and you can do this from the sms app by typing the group name in the To: field. I have tried creating groups on the Note, but when i have tried to text that group typing the name of a group on the To: field does nothing, it is as if it didn't exist.
And don't get me started on not having group sms like in iphone and windows phone.... does anyone know how to enable this feature without having to install a new app for a new service and either getting a new number for that service or having to get your contacts on that service (whatsapp or skype or kik or any of those) i want to send group messages from my phone, like i could do with my windows phone and my friend do with their iphones...

You can turn off the notifications for stock SMS and make go or handcent default.

So, going third-party is still the only way to restrict/view only mobile numbers? (GS3 v4.1.2)

Does anyone know an app wo can join all these platforms. I realize that this is probably not possible with an app, maybe a custom rom?
Let me know what u guys use :highfive:
