For whatever reason, my contacts won't show up. I can type them in in messaging, and in the search all feature in contacts, and they'll show up, but they won't show up in contacts, otherwise.

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.

Finally found a great app to give missed event reminders. Works for Gmail, Google Voice, SMS & MMS, email, Google Talk and something called K9 Mail.
Reminders are very configurable. It can make a sound, vibrate and/or even flash the screen for a brief period (default is 1/2 second - it will show your lock screen).
Lots of other options to customize, and all seem to work on the Streak!

Thanks for the info. I will have to check it out. Right now i am using EA and thats doing more or less the same thing...
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.

i like having my contacts pictures added from facebook, so i selected the option of syncing only contacts already in my phonebook, but when i use the dialer it shows all of my facebook contacts. is anyone else experiencing this?

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
