I am enjoying the latest 4.4.2 Kikat S222 firmware on my lenovo p780 but the only thing I am hating is that there are no Third party integration with Contact Manager while viewing contact details. For example if the contact has whatsapp or viber, I have to manually search in viber, whatsapp and skype if there is any.

Thanks for your prompt response, I have confirmed with at least four people I know on the same update and even they aren't able to see any whatsapp or viber linked in contact information. If you have this feature on S222, can you please confirm by posting the screenshot over here if you don't mind so I be convinced and go ahead with the procedure to contact reset.
By the way, i didn't understood this

I tried setting up the new p780 for my friend and noticed the same that Contact manager does not have this feature. Also, as per your suggestions I just deleted my entire contacts including my SIM and gmail and whatsapp plus I cleared data through APP MANAGER for CONTACT MANAGER still there is nothing new in CONTACT MANAGER. Quite strange , how could the developer miss such an important feature of contact manager.
is there is no any other solution to this problem ?
show only contact with no. in contact setting worked for me. it's not a solution but atleast don't display multiple names from same contact.

I think you didn't get my query at all. I meant that I am unable to have quick widget of Whatsapp, viber or skype under the contact person information. I tried it again but didn't work. If you have it in your ROM can you post a screenshot and the detail of the version you are using of KK.

I've made a small application which adds a group of contacts as recipients to the existing messaging application. If you start the application from the start menu it will create a new SMS message for you. If you start it from the messaging menu it will update the already created SMS message. This makes it possible to forward received messages to a group.
As this is an extension of the original messaging application, all messages will be saved in the Sent Items folder.
Changelog and more information can be found at my website: http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=group_sms
The application will run on both Pocket PC's and SmartPhones with Windows Mobile 5.0 and above. Never tested on older devices, so it might work on them too
It supports MUI and can easily be translated to any language. Currently english and norwegian is supported.
Please give me feedback if you experience any problems.
To download, please visit my homepage at: http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=group_sms
Here are some screenshots:
GREAT!
works like a charm!THX!
dis application is much better, starts faster than the one other thread
Hi,
I'm still using version 1.3. I don't know if you remember my mail from then.
This is a part of it:
"Do you think it’s possible to add a group of contacts that’s in my SIM-list?
I mean, if I select the box All Contacts, only the contacts saved in Outlook are visible, not the ones on my SIM-card.
If not I can always save all my SIM-contacts to the Contacts in Outlook, but then my contact list is growing so big and a lot of double phone numbers are showing up."
MANY THNX to you
really this GROUP SMS is come to solve a big problem in PPC which is sending message to more than one.
NOW by using you GROUP SMS i can remove other silly program that try to send to many but big , not embeded in the options of message like yours
thnx again and again

make sure that there is at least one groupe (catergory)
Group SMS can't add a group at the moment. It can only read the Outlook categories. I will probably implement functionallity to add, remove and edit groups in a later release.
I recommend you all to upgrade to version 1.4.1. Some users found a small bug when contacts are member of more then one group. I forgot to reset a string before I used it again and this can cause the application to show a group multiple times with some strange characters.
The new cab file can be found in the first post of this thread.

I gave this app a try. First thing I noticed is that it wiped out the Mark All As Read and Delete All menu extensions. Unfortunately, these two options are much more useful than a group sms. Great work anyway and maybe you can find a compromise.
I will certainly look into that! Which device are you running on? Is the Mark All As Read and Delete All menu extensions a part of the ROM or have you installed it?
Nice app.
thank you
thank you very much for this app!!! i was looking for this for decades!!! great work dude!

I have
htc p3300
with B&B 3.7
and net V2 installed.
I have more than 1500 contacts divided in 10 categories.
when I try to use groupsms I get the first screen with preselection of groups (cateories)
I do chech one or various, then next.
Some seconds later I get just one, two and mostly nothing of contacts to check.
Where the problem comes from?
I used it with just one category and 200 contacts and haddn´t any problem ( has the program mem limitations?
Thank you for your great job
Hi All,
Before you say it, I know what I'm doing and understand how Google contacts work, I had a HTC HD2 (thanks Pongster and XDA!) and I am used to Android.
I know how Google contacts work, infact I submitted a bug fix to AweSync to fix up their syncing of Google Contacts with Lotus Notes.
Why does the Samsung Galaxy 1 (and 2!) show me _ALL CONTACTS_ when trying to SMS people? or when I try to save a newly dialled number into contacts, it shows all contacts?
I don't want to SMS an email address! I don't want to sift through 1,300 contacts yet this idiot phone is showing me them.
http://members.iinet.net.au/~scottylans/derpderp.jpg
http://members.iinet.net.au/~scottylans/diddlyderp.jpg
http://members.iinet.net.au/~scottylans/derpphone.jpg
It's listing email Address's in the SMS TO: field - yet I've CLEARLY unticked "All contacts" and I've made it only show contacts with a phone number.
What is wrong with this thing?
EDIT: also, forgetting my ring tone every time I reboot isn't impressing me either.
Okay, I can't answer all your problems, and I do agree that the management of contacts on this phone is pretty poor, but there's obviously ways round certain issues.
One thing that will immediately help you is to use the contacts app to send SMS, rather than the SMS app. Select your contact (filtered as shown in your post) and you can swipe them left to SMS or right to call. That's a pretty handy feature.
However, if you're sending a message to more than 1 person you're back to square 1. I'd strongly recommend getting GO SMS Pro and GO Contacts (both free) from the Market. They're excellent replacements and I'm sure you'll be a LOT happier with them.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

It does what you describe above. I don't know what you expect it to do though. You dial a number, click "Add to contacts" or "New contact" to either list all your contacts or create a new one.
is there any solution to this, i quite like the messaging app, but find it quite annoying when i have to search through hundreds of contacts, or else exit out to the contact application to text some1 who's actually in my contacts list ....
Its not a deal breaker for me, i prefer the stock than go sms or handcent, or any alternative i've tried, so if there is no fix i'll grin and bear it but if there is please help out
.... its not that i prefer the stock to any other, its just that no other provides anything that makes me want to move from stock, and since both will be running anyways it seems pointless to be wasting battery .... also i found double contacts problems with other apps aswell

Why? I think it is a good idea, since I very often MMS to email addresses! It is very handy to automatically downsize an image to MMS size when you are sending it to a person who you know will be looking at the email on their phone (e.g. my friend in Japan doesn't have MMS at all, over there nearly everything is email).
Been wondering about this too, i know the contact app you can customize what to show, which is fine, but the sms app show everyone you have been in contact with on google. Only "fix" i've found so far is to use another SMS app that can filter the contact list.
The solution is very simple. Just open display options in contacts and select only display contacts with numbers. Also untick everything that you don't want it to display. I don't save any numbers in phone or sim card so I save it to gmail account.
Even if I select only gmail it shows lots unnecessary contacts. So I went to gmail on my laptop and opened the contacts (phone book or something like that. Its been over a year so I don't remember)
I created a new category (u can choose an existing one) and transferred every single contact that I needed under it.
And thats it. Everytime I format my phone I just go to contact display settings on my phone and only choose the category that I made. And it only shows the contacts that I need.
It works also if u want to save a contact. I chose to save contacts to my gmail account when it asks. And everytime u save it saves it to the category that u choose.
I have been using this over a year and work flawlessly. I remember beig sick of choosing amongst 1000s of contacts.
I tried to explain as I could. If there is a problem ask me I will try to help.
Edit:
I realized this doesn't answer ur question about sms. This doesn't fix that SMS list behaviour.

Uninstall and then reinstall whatsapp again. During first setup U will be asked to restore your messages.

i want to replace the stock sms app on my k900 with go sms pro. how do i do this? i've already checked in the go sms app that it be the default messaging app but i still get double sms notifications and the stock sms app is still active. i can't find anything in the system or messaging settings that would normally turn off the notifications for the stock sms app just like in my past htc's and xperias.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
In the messaging setting you can turn off auto message checking and popup windows and notifications. I haven't tried but I think that should work. Goodluck

i already did all of that but still i get double notifications and messages. it seems that the system still prioritizes the stock sms app over a 3rd party one despite having the 3rd party app be explicitly the default SMS app. i've had partial success with textra. i still get notifications from the stock sms app but at least not a double message and i could just ignore the unopened text messages from the stock app until i have to open them at a later time. but i still wish there was a way of totally replacing the stock sms app. this app seems to be bundled/attached to the dialer and contacts app instead of it being separate and only able to "talk" to the dialer and contacts app. seems lenovo doesn't want the user to install any other app that tries to replace the ones that lenovo put in place. for shame in this.
in any case, this'll be my first AND last lenovo phone. i've been badly burned by this very simple yet intolerable (for me) experience. i think this goes against the android ethos of being "open" considering it's a "goolge" android OS.
can this problem be solved by rooting the phone?
No. The only way is to hard remove the app from the system/app folder. But you will be doing that on your own and at your own risk. It's not recommended..

Found a simpler solution it's almost stupid. It was staring at me the whole time. Went to settings>apps>contact manager. Unchecked notifications then pushed force stop and then disable. Replacd my dialer/contact manager with go contacts ex. Now, I'm happy. Didn't have to go through the mess of rooting and flashing a custom rom.

Try add new contact. Works? Probably no. If you want add new contact, you must enable contact manager again and disable after adding. A little uncomfortable. Do not delete contact manager (ideafriend) from system/app!
ist for dialer, contacts, SMS messaging and call log. The unfortunate solution. unfortunately.

it's quite the opposite everything's working fine. go contacts replaced the stock contacts manager flawlessly. i already added 2 contacts and edited more than half a dozen old ones. received and made phone calls without a hitch. like the old lenovo contacts manager never existed in the 1st place! now i can use my k900 with much more tolerance until i could to sell it ASAP and get me back to an xperia.

Interesting. When I unchecked Show notifications, press the Force Stop and Disable in Settings / Apps / All, calling through third-party application goes normally (tested to Go contacts and Ex dialer), but using these applications not join a new contact, I can not edit an existing contact. It just goes through the built-in Contact Manager. The same if I add a contact via SMS third-party application (for example Go SMS Pro).
Really? Hasn't happened to me yet (unable to edit) I'm using go contacts pro as my dialer and contact manager. Like i said before, i added and edited contacts without problems. Hmmm...

Go Contacts pro doesn´t work on 4.3. I try without Go Launcher, with Go launcher and nothing.
Hello,
Hope someone can help with a fix.
I googled this so many times but still didn't find a solution.
When I use the T9 to search for a contact in the dialer, the contact shows up but the number under the contact is duplicated .
However when I open the same contact in the contacts all there is only 1 number and no sign of any duplicates.
I have checked and I have no duplicate contacts at all in my contacts.
I have also used the filter to only show contacts from my Gmail account.
But still same issue persists.
Second, can anyone confirm whether I can get the notifications on my lockscreen to be kept hidden until I use face unlock and then their content becomes visible without exiting the lockscreen?
Lastly, does anyone have any idea if it's possible with any app or mod to have horizon lights keep on blinking rather than just blink once when notification is received?
Appreciate any input, thanks

1st. Same here with me.
I tested & founded that the duplicate number is WhatsApp contact & not going away even if we choose only to show contact from Gmail account.
2nd. I don't think it's possible right now
3rd. Users submitted feedbacks on OnePlus forums & they said they are working on it.
Thanks for the feedback.
Yeah I read somewhere it's got to do with WhatsApp.
They suggested to remove all spaces from phone numbers in contacts, I tried with one and it worked !
But I have way too many contacts to do it manually for each one.
Looking for an app or some fast way to do it in bulk.

Export it from Gmail and then you can work on the .xml file in a file editor. Find & Replace [space] with nada
Then import it back on.
