Recently I've noticed some strange behaviour regarding my contacts.
first I save a contact by selecting new contact in the contacts menu.
Then I chose an account under which I want to create the contact.
I never chose phone-only and always sync to the same account, lets call this account 1.
After I save the contact details the contact does not appear in my contact list.
This contact will neither appear in the contacts of account 1 when I log into Google and look at my contacts.
When I search a certain contact name in my phone it says "Contact not found" below which it gives me the option to "Search all contacts".
If I press this option it will show me all the contact information just like I stored it.
I tried searching in other accounts beside account 1 that I could choose when storing the contact but that yielded no results either.
My questions are:
1 Where the **** does my phone store these contacts?? :S
2 Why can't I see them when I log onto Google?
3 How can I get them to display normally under contacts? (and in my Google account contacts)
Additional information:
I run a CM7 NAND-ROM (I think by HyperDroid) on a 512MB version of the HTC LEO
I mainly connect to the internet through Wi-Fi because I'm currently using a pre-paid subscription.
Anyone have any suggestions?
Hi,
I added the Exchange Server of my company to my SGS3, and calendar and contacts sync perfectly. If I search for a person in the contact list, it even shows exchange contacts as well, and I can call them directly without having them in my personal contact list.
Here is the problem:
If one of my coleeges calls me, I only see the phone number, not his name. All the info such as name, phone number, email ect. are available on the server. I'm only able to see the name of the dialer if I search for the person on the exchange server and chose to Add Contact to the phone. But I don't want to do that one by one, to have all 500+ ppl from my company saved in my contacts list.
Any suggestions?
No one uses Exchange Server?

Bro,
All along when a call comes the phone searches for the entry in the phonebook only and not on the exchange contact list. the same is true for iphone and any other phone.

I was just thinking, that my exchange contacts are already synced onto my phone, so the info is available on the phone. It doesnt have to make a server lookup or anything.
It shows the names of Facebook contacts, who are synced to the phone in the same way, so why not Exchange contacts?
I'm running a Galaxy Nexus, Jelly Bean.I just noticed after a long while that my avatar in the Gmail app was incorrect. After trying to change it, I noticed that clicking the contact doesn't bring up the local "me" contact so I removed it in hopes that it would sync correctly. Now clicking the contact says "contact does not exist" and asks if I'd like to add them. Obviously the email and names match, since it's the google account I use on the phone. Is there a way to get it to properly sync with the local "me" contact on the phone, or do I have to add a second contact of myself into google contacts?
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?
When using my Google Pixel and connecting via Bluetooth to my car all of my Google contacts synced great. Any incoming phone calls would identify the contact name on the screen. With the Galaxy S9+ only contacts with names in the Phone contact book show up, but that's it. Any names stored as a Google Contact doesn't show up as name, only phone number is displayed. Anyone else running into this problem and possibly have a solution? I tried making the Google Contact App default, but that isn't possible. I've run out of ideas.
