How do I stop this from happening. Every time I reply from my gmail app who ever I reply to automatically gets saved as a contact.

Google does it. They have always done this with g mail. And your phone syncs contacts with google. I wish I knew how to make it stop. I'll dig.
Edit: dug. At google.com go to gmail and sign in. press cog next to your name and scroll down to "create contacts for auto-complete" and select I'll add contacts myself and scroll to bottom and save changes.
Thanks that worked.

This is my first HTC phone so excuse my ignorance. I have a page size people widget on my phone I use as speed dial. It's an HTC widget filled with pictures of my favorite contacts and I can quickly call or text someone. But at times a blue number appears on one of the pictures/contacts. I don't know what it means or how I can access any information from it. Any idea?
Facebook updates.

The blue number represents a missed call, txt, or an update from a social network.

Hmmmm, thanks for the responses but it doesn't make sense. My wife's picture has a number 7 by it. She had not texted me, has no missed calls, and does not have a facebook account. I do not sync with facebook anyways. How do I clear it or access it? Any idea?

I assume you have tried rebooting?

It also includes calendar events. I had a contact with a birthday coming up, and it showed a "1" by their name. I do not have Facebook linked to my contacts.
So I figured it out. It appears that anything related to that person is connected to that number. In my wife's case, there were emails from her that I had erased but not opened. Somehow they still show up. As soon as I opened one, the number reduced by one. Silly if you asked me. You can access it by pressing the number and then on the lower edge of the opened menu you can change tabs to see what is new. Whole lotta blah.... Gimme aosp any day over this sense crap.

Im having an issue deleting contacts from my phone. When i click on there profile it does not give me an edit button to delete. Do i have to delete them from gmail and fb also? I unlinked them from fb and deleted from google contacts and its still thete and not giving me an option to delete.
While viewing the contact, hit the menu soft key. It will bring up a few options, delete being one of them.

I know I did it when it was stock, can't figure how now either

That's odd. I know I'm on a different device, but through my roms it's always been there.
Sorry I couldn't help, try the rom thread.

Brand new phone, maybe I made a mistake on setup but doubt it. Why is gmail not my default email upon clicking 'email dev' in the play store, instead it goes to my yahoo pop accounts?
Thanks.

Open your regular mail app(NOT the gmail app, but make sure you are on your gmail account obviously), then click on the "menu" button, then click "settings", then click "general settings", and then you'll see a check box that says "make default account"
No luck. Clearing defaults button appeared to initially work until I tested it, no prompt for action, went straight to yahoo. Second option didn't work either, general settings for mail shows a greyed out checkmark for default app and does not allow me to uncheck it, no option for default in gmail.

Mine is set to "compose mail" under app associations. I dont use the gmail app so I didnt check the compose gmail option. The way I suggested earlier should have worked for you. Thats really weird. Did you do the same steps I listed for your other email accounts to make sure that one of them wasnt checked off as the default account?
Either way, as long as your problem is resolved its all good. Im just curious as to why the other way wouldnt work.

Glad I could help. HTC made that menu to get around the Apple patent issue
I can't seem to figure out how to mark emails as read in the email or Gmail app. Anyone know if there's a quick way to do it beside reading them one by one?

Select them all, tap the open envelope icon at the top of your screen. Done.
Why do some of my contacts show up when I'm typing the names in via text to message them show as fake email address? I've sorted my contacts I don't how many times and everything is legit and correct
No misspelled names,wrong numbers anything like that? I'm on stock Rom that's not corrupt. ..my contacts are linked with my facebook but I've unlinked them in the past and no change?
It's very annoying trying to text "mom" and it comes up as an email I've never seen or heard of before
Or I try to add multiple contacts to a mass text and the entire message never sends
