[Q] Contact Icon image - Galaxy Ace S5830 General

Don't know if I just missed something or what. I can't find a way to set my own contact icon image (avatar) to show on messaging thread. Please help.
I'm on CM7 ICS 1.0 now.

Go to your contacts, select and edit contact, and click on the avatar.

Save your own number to contacts then edit.

Got this working now. Thanks dude.
Anyway, do you have any idea on contacts duplicating?? Here's the scene: I deleted all my contacts saved on my phone to import contacts from my other simcard. It importing successfully BUT afterwards contacts has been duplicated.
PS: Sync off (no contacts saved on google anyway)

[Q] Deleting messages at one go

Hi
It should be simple but I still haven't been able to figure out how to delete multiple msg from different senders at one go on my X10 stock msg app.
Is it possible to some how tick only the msgs you want to delete ???
You have to be in the thread, then press the menu button - more - delete thread. Or install MyPhoneExplorer on both the phone and computer which makes managing your messages, and phone a little easier.

Handscent will also allow you to delete multiple texts too... in "Batch" mode.

+1 for this. Handcent allows you to delete messages in 'batch' mode and send business cards (sort of) via SMS. It also has a lot of other great features too. Well worth checking out - especially as it's free :-D

If u want to send a business card via sms, go to ur phonebook and select the contact as if u were going to call them, then press the menu button and select 'Send Business Card'

This method only allows you to send the business card via Bluetooth though, not via SMS.

Use Go SmS pro...

You can. Go to "compose". Start typing contact name, select from the suggestion. A comma will appear after the contact name. To add another, start typing the name again. Much like gmail.
yep, there's no checkbox-like interface though.

[Q] Problem Saving Contacts

I am running UnNamed 1.0.3 and syncing to my exchange server. All works well except if I try to save a new contact from the phone. I only get the fields for the name to be entered. I cannot enter a number or address. If I save a contact from my computer it show up properly but it seems only saving new contacts from the phone is limited to name only? Anyone have any info on this. I know it cant be right....

I am not having the problem you describe but here is something you might try.
Try this, when it asks you to save the new contact, go ahead and save it,
then after the new contact is saved select view contact and edit.
Then simply add whatever information you wish.

[Q] How to change default number for all the contacts

I got lots of friend with a home and cellphone number and I already make a mistake calling a friend at home at 4'AM.
I already set manually the default number for some friends to cellphone, but I lost all the preference (deleted address book to get rid of contact pictures and restored csv on gmail).
There is a way to set the default number to "cellphone" for all the contacts on my phonebook?
Thank you.

No
Every time I change or format the phone every default number it's lost.
My solution right now it's to separate the contacts. It's stupid... but the only one I found

In the meantime I have found something. But did not tested until now. I don't now yet what "1" number is. Is Mobile number or what else is? And where should this commands must be entered. In the terminal?
I am still looking to find answer those questions.
android contacts provider: how to set phone number primary
How to set a contact's phone number to be primary number when adding or updating a contact building a custom contacts provider. The adding and updating of contacts is working fine but I don't know how to set one number of the contact to be primary, or default number.
Code:
mValues.put(Phone.IS_PRIMARY, 1);
mValues.put(Phone.IS_SUPER_PRIMARY, 1);
Both Phone.IS_PRIMARY and Phone.IS_SUPER_PRIMARY have to be set.

I guess Phone = phone number, so I should replace Phone with Mobile

Apologies; the symptom is the same. If you don't have any SIM contacts, then your problem is different. Sorry.
Thank you very much .I missed the link. was searching in your old posts :-D
But there is no problem with the picture The name of the contact is displayed in place of Name!

Same here, I get the +61######### instead of the contact name.
I've got my contacts set to display google contacts only.
Any fixes?
