Hi, did you have any picture add it on your contacts?
If yes you have to remove it and do all again.
Remove the picture and goes to the quick contacts and select the contact again and choose the picture do you want. The problem will be finished.
Regards and post the if it done please
Yeah i have a picture for every contact. But the problem is that the contacts, including the pictures, are synced from my Adress Book on my Mac. So changing a picture on the MDA will mess up my contactlist. And second, i don't have the pictures stored on a disk or something. They are part of the 'contactcard' they belong to.
It should work...
It was a long painful process but it worked.
Thanks

Hello all,
Have done a search and have found nothing, so I thought I would make a post.
My contacts are all in the format "surname, first name". I find this to be really annoying, is there any application or option to reverse this so I have "first name, surname" ?
Thanks!
This little app will do the trick. Works perfect for me.
Only problem, each time you add a new contact, you will have to run it again, as the new contact is then again in lastname, firstname format.

Thank you sooooo much! Going to run it now....
NOTE: "reversing contacts" caused sync error on WMDC (Windows Vista).

Well, ...if you have too many contacts it's going to take a while, but if you don't wanna mess anything up with apps, try the following (helpful when inserting new contacts as well )
I just had the same prob and noticed that a few gaps below the "Name" gap, it says "File as" and when u click there you can choose if you want surname or name displayed first.
:O I did all 200+ contacts manually in Outlook then sync'd them across -_-"
this tool will come in handy for future use. Cheers
I know this is probably easy but I have looked everywhere. I have windows vista with outlook 2007. I want to sort my contacts on my HTC FUZE so that the contacts are sorted by first name. Please help me. I know at one time I had a file I could run on my cell phone when I had a MDA and it sorted my contact but now I cant find it. Thanks!!!!
I have a Fuze forgot to update device info from the tilt I sold.
If the contacts are saved on your phone (not on your sim), then what you can do is go to each contact name, select Menu>Edit, and you should see a list of options of come up. What you want to do is go to where it says "File As" and from the drop down menu, select how you want the name to be displayed. for example, do you want it as "Last, First" or "First Last"
I had the same problem as you, but when I changed the format of the name like that, it all got sorted through first name.
Maybe THIS can help you out.

Great tool saves a lot of time by doing it manually.
pocket informant 8 let's you do this and sort your contacts many other ways.
It does but PI8 is not freeware and the previous solution is
Also, changes made in sorting inside PI8 does not affect the normal contact manager.

the contact changer 1.3 doesn't seem to work for me
I am trying to figure out why in my contacts they about a quarter of them show facebook information with the facebook picture attached to the contact picture, and then the rest of them do not show the facebook picture but when i go into edit on the contact at the bottom shows some information like their full name from facebook, phone number and email, also showing an exclamation point with "Facebook contact information is not editable on this device" which I believe is normal. How would I get this person's picture to show when the phone already thinks the facebook account is joined? Oh and when I try to join it the person does not show up in the join list.
Unrelated question: Does anyone know a fix for slow app scrowling in 2.2 STOCK froyo? the 3D effect is nice but when I had a launcher from the market it would scroll with one swipe of my finger from the top to bottom, now the same swipe would get me just a couple rows down.
Thanks everyone
Facebook syncing
In facebook people have first and last name, If you want them to sync properly edit the contacts information to match facebook name, and that should clean things up. If not let me know.
Thats the one thing about the HD2 I liked... You can manually match your contacts with your facebook contacts. I don't think you can do that with the N1, unless you know what all of your friends facebook ID numbers are.
My contacts already are named just as they are in facebook.they have facebook information at the bottom of the edit contacts area. Just no picture.. how do I fix this?

You can do that with Android, too.
-> Go to contacts
-> Choose the contact you want to assign a Facebook-account to
-> Hit the menu botton and "Edit"
-> While in "edit mode" hit the menu button again and there should be a "Join" button
-> It should suggest some Facebook contacts
Attention! though, some user report, that this can change the name of the contact. Before saving make sure the contact is filed under the name you want (by editing the name if necessary).
You can revert this operation the same way but chose "Seperate" if you joined two contacts that don't fit anymore.

If the contacts fb info is already linked to the correct contact in your phone book and its just now showing the pic, you can tell google to use it manually by;
- Going to the contact without the image, click in to there contact card and select edit from the menu.
- Then scroll down to the facebook section part of the contact info and click the profile pic shown
- a dialog should show up with the option "Use this photo"
Select that and it *should* add the image as the contacts profile pic.
If its that the accounts simply aren't linking, ensuring they had the same name worked for me, but i imagine if your still having no luck with that, the manual join described by the guy above should do the trick.
Hope that helps
Fixed by restoring phone.

If you check "use all contacts" in stock phone contacts app, the pictures appear.
Hey all,
I updated my phone to 2.3.3 via Samsung Kies and did a factory reset.
So, I synced my contacts from Facebook via adding the SNS account, everything worked fine but I needed to add phone numbers to some of the contacts. Considering you can't edit Facebook contacts, I ended up creating a new contact to phone with the number and the name exactly the same and then using the 'Join Contact' to merge them.
The problem #1:
When I click new message, I can click the 'contacts' button and everyone with numbers are listed. I go to an untouched Facebook contact (With a number assigned to it automatically from Facebook) and click add but it still has an empty field saying 'to'. If I add one of my merged contacts, the number is displayed and it works fine.
#2
When a Facebook contact text messages me, only their number shows up, like its an unknown number which mean I have no idea who it is even though I have them as a contact. I go to that persons contact profile and the number that is assigned to them is identical, so why doesn't it show the contacts name?
If I go to the contact and swipe my finger to the left so it 'messages' them, in the 'To' field is their number only, no contact name.
Last but not least, no contact pictures show up in my Messages, even though they have Facebook pictures assigned to the contact
Can anyone help at all or at least point me in the right direction to solving this myth?
Thanks a lot everyone for helping me.
Hello
I tried to sync my contacts with facebook for android but in stock messages app my contact pictures doesnt shown.. In contacts everything are ok. I tried with samsung's sns and contact pictures are weird so i dont like it..
Anybody could help me ?
i tried with SyncPix doesnt work for me.
Why nobody helps ? (
Hey buddy try this,
Go to settings, Accounts and Sync make sure you've added a facebook account then click on "sync contacts". This should do everything you need. If not it could be an issue with the contacts not having facebooks linked with their number or something?
SyncMyPix is a great app that I use to syns the pictures between facebook contacts and phone contacts.
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.nloko.android.syncmypix&feature=search_result
You have to make sure that the contacts names are typed exactly or very close to their facebook name, or go through one by one and manually connect them yourself.
Hope that helps

Hello
Pictures shown in contacts but not in messages..
ok this may be worth a shot
go to contacts. first thing, make sure you link that contact's different account icons like facebook/google/sim/card info for the same contact must be linked/merged
After that, enter the contact, hit Options - Mark As Default and select the picture you want
i'm sorry, i'm not 100% if this will solve your problem, but if you haven't tried it already it might help.
