Hi!
I just upgraded to stock 2.1 and I have a problem with the contacts app. I linked every contact to their facebook account and one of my friends (ass) typed in a wrong phone-number. Now I can't phone him without adjusting the phonenumber, cause android uses the facebook phonenumber instead of the number I saved in my phone. Is there a way to tell android to don't use the facebook phonenumbers without 'un-linking' my contacts?
Please help! I'm turning crazy over here!!!!!
Thanks in advance!
I've just updated to 2.1 for a while, and luckily I haven't encountered your weird problem. Each time I linked a contact with a facebook account, I had a contact that has both mobile phone number (except if both of them are the same) However, I have another weird problem: After linking a contact with a facebook account, I choosed a name for the contact (most of the time I went with the phone name) The problem is sometimes, after syncing, the name changed randomly to another name (for example the facebook name) and I was unable to search for that person if I didn't remember his facebook name. No matter how I changed the name back again and again, it kept changing on its will.
Any suggestion?

Lol, I met with this problem aswell, but figured out how to come across it. Go into contacts, click on the persons name you want to change, click on his name again in the top of the screen (between his photo and the "linked" icon). Now you'll see a selectbox with his facebook name, phone name, google name etc. Select the one you want to show in your contacts list and then confirm (bottom left of your screen --> I have a dutch phone so don't know the english name for the button).
I'm still having my phonenumber problem, anyone a suggestion (the guy with the wrong phonenumber on facebook isn't that good with computers, so he doesn't know how to change his phonenumber (ass))
Regards
Thank you for your kind answer, but it doesn't solve my problem. Actually I have already done that a million times, but each time the phone synced, some of my contacts randomly changed their names without my permission. Then I changed back, and a while later, the names changed again... It was really annoying

I don't know since I don't have facebook (Shock!) but I bet you there is a feture on facebook to change your details for a friend...
Do it that way...
Well, I'm afraid there isn't any way to do that.
Hi guys,
I've just found out that I could not delete now SOME of the messages from one of my contacts unlike before. Menu->Delete Messages are no longer working for that person, and to my amazement for this person only. The feature is still working with my other contact's SMS.
I hope anybody can offer some help.
Thanks.
Just to check, there are messages from that person to delete, rather than an empty list?
Can you select them in 'all messages'?
Hello,
I have a LG Optimus One, when I receive a call or message the contact name can't show it only show the number, off course contact available at the contact list. (The contact list I sync from Gmail contact)
I don't know the problem is my phone or firmware? How can I fix it?
Pls help me.
I had similar problem - it shows wrong contact name and picture becouse it takes contacts from SIM card. Try backup contacts, remove all from SIM and copy contact directly into phone (using for ex. MyPhoneExplorer). Then restart phone.
It strange, but I didn't find another way. Also try enable/disable contact viewing optipons in menu. There is many options and after some time it started works fine on my OO, but I'm not sure what I done directly. Anyway these steps helped me.
Hi, I have a weird issue with one of my contacts. An old number they no longer use just won't delete! I Tried to delete the contact altogehter, and add it again, even tried to change the name by adding something extra to it, but whenever I try to text the person, the previous number shows up, THEN the current number (and not just the name of the contact like it should. Something to keep in mind is that the old number does not show up in the actual contacgts directory, ONLY whenever I text them, and it doesn't show their name, which is really REALLY annoying!!! Can anyone help? I tried uninstalling/reinstalling using Titanium Backup, even the data wipe of the messaging app, didn't work! Still doing the same thing, seems like the app won't disassociate the past number from the current, and the weird thing is that I had deleted that number from the contacts long before, when I was still on 2.1 (stock). Now that I have updated to the stock 2.3.3, it brought that number back! Please help, this really sucks and I don't know what to do, don't want to do a repair install, so much work :-( Another issue I found is that the messaging won't sound the notification I set, it does blink the LED light, but won't vibrate or sound the notification I set up for it... What should I do??? Thanks in advance...
sorry just tried merging the posts to my first post, but can't delete this one.
Same as the upper post, sorry again...
I had a similar problem. You can edit your contacts at the actual gmail website from your internet browser. Also remember when adding contacts from phone, click save to gmail and sync contacts every now and then if auto-sync is disabled.
Really? Where do I edit my contacts??? When I check my contacts in Gmail, it only shows me the email contacts I have, no actual phone numbers

At the top right there should be a contacts option, look a bit lower and there should be more options pertaining to it.
I did check that, explored all the options within, and none of my phone contacts show up! Only my email contacts!!! Any other way to handle this??? The sound part seems to have resolved (sometimes it does ring my notification tone), but the messaging app still shows the number I deleted months ago, no idea why it won't disassociate the number. In my contacts list, that number doesn't show. But in messaging, when I try to send that person a meggae, instead of showing the NAME of the person I am sending it to (like it should), it shows the old number and then the new number!!! Any ideas???

It is somehow either associated with your google account or your at&t account, does you at&t plan have an online back up by chance?
I'm actually with Rogers, and have never used their online backup (nor have I checked to see if they provide any). But something rather weird happened, I deleted the messages, asked my friend to send me a text, and when they did, their name showed up like it is supposed to! I hope it is resolved now, thank you all for trying to help
Will update if the problem persists.
Ok, here is my problem. My conutry code is 505, I have my contact list, if I received an sms it will show the number not the name in my contact, so I discover that is when a Contact write to me some time (think is a network related stuff) it adds an +505 to the number I have in contact, so my phone does not link that sms to my contact. And If I tried to fix adding the +505 to the contact number it now shows the name in sms, but when they called me....it shows just the number...its a little confusing. Is there a way to fix that?
