I am trying to remove a Contact from my favorites list. They are not a starred contact, but they are still in my favorites due to frequent calls. The problem is I don't talk to this person anymore. Does anyone know how to remove them from this list? I am using a N1 Froyo Stock. Thanks in advance.
long press -> remove from favourites ?

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I have tried that, but my option is add to favorites instead of remove from favorites. If I try to add to favorites it puts it at the very top, then when I remove it again it puts it back where it was to begin with.
Delete their info from your Google contacts online
Should do the trick
download "historyeraser" from the market. it gives you an option to delete contacts history (favorites) but it'll erase all favorites that are not starred.
Remove the person from the favorite group
I just got the HTC Aria. I had the same issue. When you select a person as a favorite it adds them to your google contacts favorite group. Remove the person from the group and you remove them as a favorite on your phone.

On the HTC home screen of HTC730 you can arrange up to 8 favourite people - people you call often. I have not seen a way to change any of the entries without entirely deleting the contact from the device! When you click on the 'Favorite People' button, you see the list. The 'Menu" of the list shows '1 Contact', '2 Delete' and '3 Cancel'. So how do we replace an entry on this list with another name?
When I chose 2 Delete the contact remains in contacts. it's only in the favorite people it has been deleted.

Thanks! I thought it would delete the contact from the database.
I have them made from a previous Droid but how do I set them in the Captivate? I had an Epic 4G before this phone and it was simple. Go to contact, edit contact, assign ring tone. This phone dosen't have this option(at least the option dosen't show in the settings). Is it an AT&T vs Sprint thing or do I need my contacts in certain area?
EDITED: Ok...found my answer as to why I cant but dont know how to fix.....seems that you can not asign ringtones to contacts that are linked in some way...example... I have all my contacts linked to gmail for back up and to facebook.....but AT&T numbers that are not linked to anything, I can assign...now to figure out how to un-link my contacts from google and facebook
When you edit a contact, did you scroll down far enough? There is a field to change the ringtone.
ok...this is a bunch of crap...If I am doing this right...the only way to get a ringtone for a contact is for the contact to reside on your phone...not link to any other account....so, with that said, I reset my phone to factory defaults(had to in order to get rid of the Google linked account). Then applied ringtones to certain people just for a test. Presto...ring tones...Ok...now that that is done, I want to re-download my apps from the market. Guess what? You need to link your phone to Google to get them...so what happens?...all my contacts are now linked to Google automatically and can't assign ring tones again....Is this right...am I the only one?...I cant believe that Google and Facebook contacts take precidence over contacts that are directly on the phone?...is there anyone out there that can correct me if I am wrong?
From what I can tell you have to have the contact saved on your phone to assign a ringtone.
You can make a new contact on your phone and then link it to an existing Google contact. Then when you edit the contact you can set a ringtone. At the top of the Edit page there will be tabs to switch between the Google contact and the contact on the phone. You have to edit the contact on the phone.
There are apps that can export all of your contacts and save them as phone contacts. That seems to be the quickest way of doing this if you're going to assign more than 2 or 3 different ringtones.
Try it with one first to make sure it works for you.
I'm thinking this is more of an issue with the People app than with the widget, but here is my issue.
Just rooted my wife's Hero from 1.5 and flashed Fresh ROM 2.3.3. Previously, in the HTC people widget she was able to add two different contacts for me, one to call work and one to call cell. I'm guessing she did this through adding both contacts to the favorites group that was used for the widget.
When adding the new widget there is only one contact for me, and when editing the favorites group there is no option to add a second entry for me with a different contact method.
Without adding a completely separate contact for me with the second phone # is there any way to fix this?
Thanks.
Check to see that the two Contacts of you aren't linked together as one. Sometimes the People app will automatically Link two contacts that have the same name, and you may need to go manually un-link them. Look at the very top right of the Contact screen
Can someone tell me why is it i can hit the plus on a txt type in the letters of a persons name and they will populate to the name so I can select to make a txt.
How ever when i go to people and type there name they are not listed in People or to be found in my contacts list.
I have clicked on phone check FB and they come up under contacts. I un check that check People so only the poeple I want on my phone will come up and they are missing. I have added them as a contacts and clicked save and still nothing " they will not show up under people "
Dont get me wrong I like androied and the features but I didnt have that issue with IOS " i went with android hopping it would change but still seem to have issues.
screens popping up, things missing and having to re add them. and etc with Android.
" just a fyi i had android for some time but left for IOS to try it out and back to android. there are ups and downs with both but seems like Android for some reason has more issues with things.

I might be misunderstanding your post, so just to clarify: there are people who you can see in the autocomplete To: field for text messaging, but are invisible in the man People app? My best guess is that you've got some contact sources deselected. In the upper left of the People app, hit the button and make sure that you've got the right contact sources checked for sync.
On that same note, if contacts are hidden from showing, why do they get populated in the text message window? For example, I don't want my yahoo contacts syncing with my Google contacts, so I leave yahoo unchecked and never syncs. However, numerous email addresses popup from my yahoo accounts when I start typing someone's name.

HTC put contact search as a different option. Under settings, choose "Search contacts by" and remove whatever you don't want.
Correct,
under my people I don't have Facebook, Gmail, Hotmail or anything checked. I don't want my phone sync with them. I only had numbers to my phone under people or contacts on the check mark I only have Phone contacts checked nothing else.
correct I hit the + to add a person type in the name and number and save it when I'm done I look for that person and they are not to be found when I just added them.

I don't think clearing does anything but hide those contacts from normal view. You're probably still syncing those contacts in (you'd have to check under Settings > Accounts and Sync). My best guess without seeing your phone setup (screenshots might help us out) is that you have your phone set to add contacts to one of the accounts that you have set not to display by mistake, and so they're all winding up in there.

When I go to people and click 3 dots and go to managed accounts then go to linked contacts I look at everyone and it has everyone as Phone then Facebook as being linked.

Looks like that was it after all. Glad it's fixed!
Good day,
I'm using Huawei P10 and I noticed that there's no way to delete recent contacts that you texted on messaging app. Whenever you write a message the recent contacted list is showing up. How can we delete it or permanently disable it?
Thanks.
I hope someone has the answer for this.

I don't think there's a way to turn it off permanently, unfortunately, but if you would like to remove entries from it, you will need to go into your dialer, and clear the entries in the favourites tab.
Favourites get added automatically, and can't be turned off either, which is annoying, but it would be great if we could though.

Yes, I think Huawei will add an option to delete this on their new update. It's really annoying.
I just found out a way to remove it. just click "new message" and then click the image of the contact you want to erase from your text history. The contact info would show up, Press the "more" function the one with three dots. then press "erase traces". hope someone find this helpful
thanks, is there a way to remove all the contacts without selecting each.

Yes, simply go in to contacts, tap the 3 dots at the bottom and tap Organize contacts then tap delete contacts by batch. ?
Erasing the trace of Call History.
Sorry I mean, how to delete all recent call history showing in the Compose Message.
Currently i am erasing the trace of a call. but by doing that only that contact history is deleted. i want to delete all contact history.
No need to click the new message. just go to your "Contacts" folder. Choose a contact. Click his/her name then click the "More" button, the one with three dots. you'll find there the option "Erase trace". Click it. then, a message will pop up to ask you to "Cancel" or "Erase". Click "Erase" button (red font). then you're DONE!
Yes i got the trick or this
Just go to mobile settings
Search in search bar ( Display Recent Contacts
Then
Click on your search option you got.
Just off.
Display Recent Contacts
I hope you guys you will enjoy all
