I have an issue where if I have more than 1 contact info for a person then in my sms it doesn't show the persons name, just the number. I cannot have another number for a person or an email assigned without this occurring. Facebook sync attaches email addresses to contacts, so therefor I cannot use facebook sync without this bug. I have attached a couple pictures to better show this. Any way to fix this?
I am using Android 4.0.4, HTC Sense 4.1

I just logged into my MSN with my tytn.
Now it automatically imported all my email contacts into my phones contact list.
The problem is I have 2 identical names of everyone I know that have a
phone number and email address. I sync'ed my phone and then the email
addresses disappeared until I log into MSN again and then I get duplicate names again. Is there a way to combine the two seperate identical names into one contact name folder? I cannot be the only one with this problem.
Thanks anyone for some help.

Frustration is growing by a second as I researched my issue only finding similar questions raised without much answers...
I'm hoping someone here would be able to help me out on this.
I'm upgrading from a HTC Hero to a Galaxy Nexus. I want to transfer all my contacts from my old HTC to the new phone. I used Google Sync.
I never had the habit of syncing contacts to the PC; hence my GMail contact list was pretty much empty to begin with.
On the HTC, i exported all the contacts into the SD card as VCF file and went to GMail and imported that file into my GMail.
Then, it seems like it only grabbed a portion of the contacts into Gmail but at the same time, deleting most of my phone contacts in my HTC! The contact list on the phone only has facebook contacts and their emails, the phone numbers (not all of them for some very odd reasons) are gone.
In the call history, the caller of past calls had became "Unknown caller" rather than their names.
In the SMS history, the author of the messages had became the phone numbers rather than their names.
I guess I could get some of the phones back by manually figuring out which number belongs to who depending on the content of the texts but it does seem like the numbers lost the linkages to the names after syncing.
Is it possible at all to get my contact list back?
Another thing I tried doing was to use the original HTC Sync. It seems like it did its syncing but where do these contacts go on the PC? I checked Outlook and clicked contacts only to find about 20 contacts in there; my phone list definitely had way more than that.
What is going on...someone please spark me some new years hope...
Can anyone tell me if there's any way have a contact thread for all contacts like HTC do?
I just want to be able to see all contact , messages, calls, email in one chronological thread. The Contact History menu option in Contacts will show messages and emails but ONLY if you use the stock email app and NOT the gmail app, and it doesn't display calls anyway.
Does anyone know of an app that will do this?
Many thanks!
Samsungs implimentation of contacts is UTTERLY CRAP - it's the weakest part of their phones.
I hate HATE HATE when a buddy gets a new phone number and messages me, I go to add to contacts and I SPECIFICALLY want to use just "My Contacts" on google NOT the "all contacts" gmail name cache - I want to sift through 109 contacts, not 1400.
and no, I shouldn't have to delete the 1400, they are really handy when emailing in gmail. I'm 99.94% positive my HTC HD2 didn't do this with any of the ROMS I loaded on to that :/
Config: I sync my contacts w/Google Contacts and am running Jellybean 4.2.1 on the Nexus 4.
Issue: A husband and wife I know share the same email address but have different cell #s. Android refuses to show the wife in my contact list as long as she shares the same email address with the husband. If I remove the email address for the wife, she shows up in my contact list. The moment I add it back, on the next sync, she disappears from the contact list.
Questions:
1. Is there any way to stop android from marking a contact as a duplicate if the cell # differs but the email is the same?
2. Is there anyway to override the duplicate detection for a specific contact?
I'm having two weird issues with my contacts.
First the pictures for my contacts sometimes disappear and reappear when I open my SMS
Second issue is when I open a new SMS and I type the persons name and the numbers for that person show up , I have the number in my contacts coming up for that person but I'm also getting old numbers that are out of service for that person. I tried deleting all contacts and re-importing them and still the same issue
I'm using Wondershare MobileGo to sync my Outlook 2010 with my phone. When I go into outlook there is only 1 number for a lot of my contacts and when I pull them up on the phone through the contacts only 1 number shows up, but again when I open a new SMS I get several numbers coming up for a person that I only saved 1 number for.
Where are the numbers coming from ? I did not set up the AT&T phonebook. and I have everything in my contacts unckecked ( ex: facebook, gmail, tango )
Any info would be greatly appreciated
