I have an HTC one phone that is set to use my Google mail, contacts, and calendar. The issue I am having is with Google contacts.
If I change a Google contact from my Google account online, that change gets reflected in my phone.
Conversely, if I change a pre-existing Google contact from my phone, that change gets reflected online.
The problem only comes in when I "add" a new contact but is fine if the contact is added online.
However, if I "add" a new contact via my phone, it does not go into Google contacts unless it is later copied there with a separate procedure. Instead, my HTC One (Android v4.1.1) puts the new contacts into the phone's internal contacts, thereby creating a separate list of contacts.
How do I keep this from happening and gain the ability to add the new Contact directly into my Google account?

First things first.. (this is a screen shot of the 'add new contact' screen.) Under where it says 'CONTACT TYPE' make sure you have 'Google' selected.
Yeah.. That's pretty much all I got.

Unbelievable! This has been driving me insane for months. Even a forum post on Experts-Exchange and an earlier one here didn't turn it up. That's fantastic, thank you!
Do you know how to make it the default?

Glad it worked.. As far as default, that I'm not sure. Even though mine is set to Google as the default now. I'll dig in the settings a little more. It may just stay after you set it once until you change it again, but not sure.

I am looking for a free app/service that will automatically upload pictures as soon as I take them from my phone (htc touch pro).
What do you use and why? What is out there?
Edit: cant post links...lame...use the googlez
What I have found:
mIQ
Its free but you have to "manually" open the app and let it "autosync".
Mesh
Its still in beta and unfinished...
funambol
Looks like you can sync pictures but doesn't show an option for phones...
myphone
Its limited and not automatic...
sugarsync
This is by far the best but they have not added photo syncing to their app. You will most likely have to open the app for it to sync.
shozu
Kinda annoying by the way it asks you every time to sync
Live Mesh is simple to use and it is running fine for me ! it syncs vice versa too ie. with desktop-to-cloud-to-urmobile.
mIQ should start automatically and run in the background as long as sync is set to "Automatic" in settings.
If you're settings are correct and pictures are NOT uploading automatically as they should, feel free to contact us on our help/feedback page (sorry can't post links yet) and we'll get it figured out!

I had forgot about this post but I as soon as I saw a reply I was going to recommend mIQ. MIQ does run in the background and upload automatically. It just takes time pending on how big the megapixel of the camera.
MIQ is now my favorite app. Plus its amazing too because I work in bby as well.
Now if only I can get that HipLogic app that is advertised soo much...
I can't seem to see all the text messages that i backed up on there.
Also how do i restore the texts from the website to my phone?
Using Winmobile btw.

Message them on facebook or twitter. They are quick to respond.
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?
I added a new contact today (time warner) and I noticed that I had options to save the number as company main, car, radio, assistant as well as the usual home, work, etc..
When I go to edit an existing contact these new (to me anyhow) options are not there.
Is there a way to get them there?
I think it may be handy to be able to save company numbers in their own category and I already have quite a few saved as contacts
Looks like it depends on the type of contact that you save it as. Exchange provides all the options. Google has most and the phone even less. Least options is the SIM.
Where are you saving them to?
I just looked and the time warner contact says phone and some others say google. So I guess that explains it.
Thanks
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but Navigation from the Calendar used to work for me on 2.2, but not on 2.3.3. I have a Sprint Evo 4G, but I think it's the Calendar or Google Maps/Navigation that has changed. Repeating events used to work before, so it's not the way I've entered the addresses.
I used to be able to put the address in the notes section of a calendar appointment, open the appointment, click on the address, and Google Maps would pop up with the option to Navigate to it.
Now, it thinks it's a phone number and pops up an option screen to: Call, Send message, Add contact, or Save to existing contact. I can click on the Location field, which I usually put just the name of the place, and Google Maps will search for it that way, but often it returns several options, of which none are the one I want.
If it helps, when I click on the address, the phone number field shows, "geo:0,0?201+Main+Street... etc." How or why it thinks that is a phone number is beyond me, but is probably the clue to the solution.
While testing this, I found at least one address that did work as expected. That address also had a street number and street, but didn't have a zip code or a comma between the city and state. However, when I modified an address in another appointment to match, the phone still thought it was a phone number.
No ideas? Is there a better place to ask?
Last bump before I look for another place to ask.

On my new E4GT, this works like it did originally on my Evo.

So here's my problem....
With my old EVO 4G, this worked fine.
I get the EVO 3D, and set up my Google Apps account as an Exchange Mail Account and go about my day. I eventually start to realize that inline images (like a screenshot pasted into the sender's message body) will not show. I get a grey box outlining where the image should be. Clicking the option to "Download Images" goes through the process like it's downloading something, but when that completes, I don't see any images. Leaving the message / mail app and coming back also changes nothing.
I call up HTC and ask. Turns out the first guy I talked to could not find that topic in his help topics lists, and had to go ask people. He came back with the suggestion for me to use a 3rd party mail app like K-9 or TouchDown in order to get my mail. ...HTC saying to use another program because theirs doesn't work... weird.
That is not acceptable to me. (plus the fact that I couldn't get K-9 to connect to a Google Apps Exchange account.)
Other apps like TouchDown just seem silly and impractical, and I don't like the idea of adding some 3rd party app to do something that my phone is supposed to be able to do to begin with. (excessive)
I talk to HTC again after I figured out that it's just with using Google Apps accounts as an Exchange account on the phone, because if I set up the same email address as a POP account in the stock HTC Mail app, I see those images. If I have it set to prompt me to download images, then I'll see a blue ? in place where the image is recognized to be, and it shows when the images are downloaded. (No blue ? was shown when set up as Exchange, and no image was shown after 'download' finished.)
This guy seemed to actually understand what I was talking about, even tested it himself with his own setup, but ended with feeding me the phrase that he was going to be escalate my 'ticket.' (No, I haven't heard back on the topic)
Long story short. I recently had an issue where a client sent an email with a screenshot and a description in the body that referred to the image. I received this on my phone, and since this client hasn't had the best reputation of providing details when explaining things, I replied asking for details that were already in the image.... ...the image that I had no idea was there.
SO. Does anyone know how to get inline images to work with the HTC EVO 3D using Google Apps as an Exchange account?
I've resorted to using the Gmail app but that is also undesireable, because that is now mixed with my personal account and I have to manually switch accounts within the app each time I check mail. Also, you can't create an Android shortcut to a Gmail account inbox like you can with the HTC Mail accounts.
Also, with the latest update to the EVO 3D (I'm using the de-odexed stock ROM update of 2.08.651.2), I've noticed has removed a few things from some key settings menus:
1. Camera options no longer has Shutter Sound = off option
2. HTC Mail app settings for POP account no longer has option to choose HTML vs. Plain Text even though 'format' is listed in the decription for the "Send & Receive" menu)
Again, my EVO 4G didn't have this issue. I understand the versions of the Mail apps are different, but shouldn't things get better with time?
Thanks for your time, hopefully someone can help figure out the images problem, By not being able to see/know about content, it's starting to affect work, and that is a problem.
