What do you mean show the contacts in "media"? do you mean the media xperience panel?

In the media experience panel, just go to settings and there is an option to turn on contacts among other things too.

go to settings>Main menu and make sure it says Contacts: Show
and it will appear on the main page of the xperience panel

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

Contacts joined with facebook

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.

Thanks in advance !!!
settings
email and contacts
tap an email address
select which content you want to synchronize
there is one exception though, your primary Live account, you can only select to sync your mail or not, the contacts will always get sync'd, I kinda got the mess under control via syncing facebook and only showing contacts that matched in email / facebook.
Here's how it SHOULD work:
Swipe to app list
Settings
Swipe to 'applications' settings
select 'people'
swipe down to list of accounts
select the account you don't want contacts for
deselect 'people' from the 'content to synchronise' set of checkboxes.
Sadly, that isn't an option for my Live login, so I have weird random MSN contacts in my list of people alongside the Exchange contacts I actually want.
Annoying! Also, you can't delete the Live account.

I do not own mi3 currently. If you have backup of your trusted contacts, then I think, you can clear your contact list from the settings->App menu (In android devices). Go there and choose contacts.apk app and clear the data ( Please note that it will wipe your all contact list). Make sure to disable auto sync with Google prior to.
Phone app (the one you call from) - Menu - Settings - Organize contacts - Clear all data.

Go to Contacts app
Press Menu key-> Tap on Settings-> Display preferences-> Hide incomplete numbers.
Every contact which doesn't have any associated numbers to it will be hidden from now on :good:

select contactlist in telephone app

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a solution on how to specify which contactlist is to be shown in the telephone app (NOT the contacts app)
right now, my S10 displays ALL contacts, from all sources (google accounts, simcard, phone contacts) together and thats just a mess....
I want it to show my contacts from my google account only...
So is it possible to select a specific contactlist to display only?
please keep in mind, that I am talking about the contacts in the telephone app, not the "contacts" app.
thanks for your help
oh, no one with this problem?
I also have this issue. On Huawei's EMUI it was possible to choose the contact list including groups when using Google.
Same problem but no solution... ):
I'm using the Groups-Icon in the contact list to filter. But it's kinda annoying. It's faster to search for the specific contact.

thank you for your screenshots, which actually show how to create a new contact and where to store it.
But my problem is, that I want the telephone app to show contacts from one specific source only...
For example: show / display contacts from gmail-account X only...
