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

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 ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
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.
ok so I know the captivate won't allow me to choose which gmail contact groups to sync (although other phones do, wtf), and I've told it to only display contacts with phone numbers, and I've also chosen to display only a certain group.
my problem is when choosing a contact to send and sms to it shows ALL contacts so I have a bazillion sale****@craigslist.com to sort through... using the search allows me to find what I want, but as a bit of a perfectionist it bothers me that this one little hiccup is left in my setup.
is there anything to be done about this? I'm ok using a different contacts program, or even a different sms program, so long as this issue is resolved.
Hey guys,
I am currently struggling with tasker. I have made a dozen of trials myself but can't get it to work so far.
I want the following to happen.
Whenever someone texts me, tasker checks if the contact is added or not (pretty easy: Does the contact have a name or just a number starting wiht a '+' sign?)
If the contact is a number, then auto add him to my contact list and name him for example "a".
How can I do it? Either everytime someone new texts me or I want to fire up whatsapp and then let tasker go thru my whole conversation list and add people that are not added yet
I just went through and created some new contact records for some of my relative's kids who were formerly just listed as another cell phone under their parent's contact record in GMail contacts. I actually did this because in my AT&T SMS messages the custom labels I had given those phone numbers simply showed up as "Custom" in the texting interface, not the name I have listed for that number (BUG #1).
Probably created about 10 new contacts in the process. Several times I would make a few edits to a contact record and on the way out would get some kind of brief vague popup error message like "Contact info not saved" or something like that and the edits would be lost. If I went back in and made the edits one at a time and saved that worked almost every time, but sometimes that even failed. (BUG #2)
I wanted to post to make them aware so they can patch these down the road.
You need to have a Samsung account that syncs to the Google account contacts.
There is some kind of issue right now - I had no problem for the past two years but their Contacts are not syncing as perfectly as before and it's driving me insane. I just made a topic on it in the Galaxy S10 forum if you want to follow that and see if anyone has an idea.
