Hi guys,
I want to know if there is a app that can do the following things...
1) get my contacts from all my accounts ( google, fb , etc) and they should only be the ones whose number i have...
2) merge there conatcs together on its own ( from diff accounts to one single contact with all the info lying inside that one contact)
3) also let me manually fix them which the app missed
4) and save these links in the cloud or the whole address book ( so i dont have to sit and do this operation everytime i root my phone or factory reset it)
5) and all these should be integerated in to my default people app..
i tried contacts+ and i really liked it but the UI dint impress me and also felt laggy at tiems.. i want all thison my default people app..
is there some app that lets me do this?
i was also suggested to try a backup app(am not sure if that works) but even if it does work, i just wanted to know if there is some dedicated contact app that can do it all and maintain it as well ..??

Hi all,
first, I am not a developer so I can't do it for myself but I know that here it's the best place to ask this.
As a lot of us I linked all my contacts to FB profiles with the old 1.5 stock rom. Sense wrote a note on the contact with a tag that, even when changing phone or rom, relink the prifile to the contact.
For example like this:
<sn>id:1538330411/friendof:1296683600</sn>

It's not possible to do a script or integrate in the roms something thant do this not only for sense?
Thanks!
+1 for this
Requested this on a danish forum, but no replies!
+1 pretty please
Well.. as this is a Sense-feature, i do not think that AOSP works the same way...
BUT: On cyanogen roms (don't know if it's the same for AOSP), you can do the linking as well.. but a bit more complicated..
First: you will have to do this with every contact.
Be sure to have a facebook-/twitter-version that makes you able to sync to contacts.
Then go to contacts, find a contact you want to link press it (hold it down) and press Edit contact.
When the new window opens press menu -> Join (it's like this image: http://powerforum.dk/files//e16_1_3_567.jpg - just without the long part at the bottom, In Danish it's called "Føj til")
Then search for your facebook/twitter-contact, if it isn't listed already, press it, and press Done to save
Im using froydvillian and so long as you have a version of facebook as said above you do have a join option in the edit contact screen. Most of the time this is synced automatically if the phonebook names match the facebook names. There's the odd few where you have to correct them.
Also if you want to use the latest synced profile picture from facebook, make sure you delete the contact icon (if there is a picture within the edit contact screen) as this is synced from google contacts and over rides the picture from facebook.
I know that i can link them in froyd too but, as I have done it before with sense, I don't want to do this. The index on the contact is already there so i think that an automatic way is easily makeable...

Yes it is "makeable" - and it has already been made! That's the point! Why create it again? The facebook app allows you to sync on ASOP rom's - why create another app which allows you to do the same thing?
Hi there,
Because i ve seen the ipad2 from a friend i ve got a question because i dont like apple´s i really want android based phones/tablets.
He showed me after Facebook APP starting he could choose his profile or the girlfriends one and could set up many more profiles. he simply has to fill in his password for his account and he is logged in. This is a nice feature i really want to have for the galaxy tab.
because non of my close friends have one i ve to ask you here if you could set up a 2nd profile for FB or for the whole tab ?!?
couldnt find the answer anywere and yes i tried googling
thanks for your help
Get FriendCaster in the App market, better than the facebook app and you can have multiple profile associated to it.
FriendCaster
you can try facedroid
Or try out SwitchMe. It will allow you to create multiple profiles that you can boot in to. It requires a reboot to get into the profile, but it allows each profile to have their own apps and settings. I'm currently using it to provide a profile just for my kids so that I can only install the apps that they want, but yet lock everything else down for them.
Hello everyone
I hope someone can help me with this.
I have just moved to android from ios and hopefully i'll stay on android because of the fact that it can customize everything on it.
I have a question regarding some apps at the moment.
Does anyone know any good app for hotmail that allows to see all the folders.
At the moment the native app it makes it very hard to browse through my hotmail account where I need a few steps in order to switch folder and in addition it doesn't tell me which folder has emails unless I go in it.
On the iphone I was greeted with all the folder as a root window and each folder had a notification showing how many non read messages were in each folder so browsing was easy.
I've tried hotmail seven as well but the problem with the folder is the same unless I need to do something with the settings,which I don't have any clue about.
If someone has used hotmail and know what I'm talking about then please let me know if you know about any app.
Secondly: I wanted to know if there's an app that allows me to receive notifications about messages, emails etc but without showing the contentn of the message and that gives me also the ability to put passwords on messages so that it can't be accessed without it.
and finally: I'd like to know if you guys are aware of a good contacts manager that allows to keep contacts private so that names and similar stuff is now shown in the incoming and outgoing calls.
Sorry for the many questions but will appriciate if you can help.
Thank you
What I do to find all this information is go on Google and type in (example) best hotmail app for android and read the post.

Hi,
a friend of mine bought a few days ago a Samsung Galaxy Tab 7" to manage his clients (he's a doctor).
He started to build his contact library (he doesn't have an android phone and no gmail contacts) adding name, surname, eventually mail and phone number and in the "Note" field he wrote all the note he'd taken. BUT this field has a characters' limit, and he can't add even a letter anymore (for the most visited client of course).
I tried to search for an app for this purpose but I can't find anything. I don't even search ONLY an app, it can be enough another method using the in-build feature of the tablet and android.
I searched for some CRM app, but most of them are ugly (since it's not a power user the more simple and clean is the better) and not optimized for a tablet. I found Insightly, but it's only online, and if he does'nt have a wifi network around he can't, not only record the new data, but also access to the old ones! They MUST be always available.
I thought about a simple folder + text file in G Drive, but these are only online too. Dropbox, too.
If it can interact with the G Mail contacts (the Note field is very useful at this) it would be wonderful, otherwise he'll build up his library with his contacts.
How can I do to have these data always on the tablet (cloud sync is not absolutely necessary)??? Any idea for an app or an alternative method?
Thanks!
nobody??
He bought a tablet to use for work, without any idea on how he would use it for work or if it would even do what he wanted? If he throws money around like that, why not recommend him to get an app written for his company and it's needs. There are many app developers who design and write custom apps for clients.
Hello erverybody,
I am looking for a solution to use both things on the phone at the same time (Business and Private).
The Problem is to separte the contacts and mails so i wish a similar solution as Samsung my knox / secure Folder.
i have read some small News about LG Gate on the web that this will provide similar functions...
But i can't finde the App on my Phone or in the LG Smart World
at this time i give a try for 'Nine' but this solution is not the best...
Than i will not Sync the Buisiness contacts to my private contacts and so i can see the buisiness contacts of my Exchange account in the Nine App.
This works good but the incoming Phone calls on the Business Sim Card will not identify.

If you have root you could enable "mutiuser guest mode" which allows another user to use this device and it is totally seperate access. When you add another user it will walk yoi through the setup wizard again, just like when you first setup your v20.
I can't remember if it can share apps, I think thats optional and has to be set using the primary account.
If you have root you can flash the option to "enable" it here
If you find this or any posts be sure and hit the thanks button on the bottom left. Only saying this because it looks like, by your post count, you are starting to be more active in discussions.
Thank you Stangedriver for you're replay!
But i have found another pefect solution for this case for free and without root rights
The Solutions is "Android Enterprise " based on the Samsung Knox System, here you can creat a Work Container
with seperated Apps and Contacts. The Trial or Demo for Android Enterprise is completely sufficient for this case
- The phone can identify the incoming calls from both Adressbooks
- You can install a second WhatsApp account without a other help app such as parallel system
