[Q] Need HELP! How to add contacts to groups???

Hi All,
Just got my Vibriant and had a quick question. I send alot of group emails and text messaging. I sync'd all my exchange, gmail and facebook contacts and they all show up under their own specific groups. I am able to create a group, but when I go to add a contact, it says no contacts? I also, try to go to the specific contact that I want to add but their is no where to select a group?
Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks!
Ha, I thought I was the only one that couldn't figure this out. I gave up after screwing with it for 5 minutes.
I think grouping is not available for google contacts. Its only for "phone" contacts

OK that explains it all my contacts are google contacts.
So would I need to import some how the corporate contacts that I have to the phone contacts to customize my own group? I will try... Another thing that I notice, I have 384 coporate contacts and if you long hold your corporate group you can check mark the contacts that you want but for me that's a long process...

Hey All, just uploaded an app from the marketplace called "Groupy" and it solved my problem! You can pick contacts and move them into your groups you created in your contacts! Once you do that you can go back into your contact app and send a group sms!

I have the answer! I had some problems with this as well. The best way that I have found to do this is:
1. Download Contacts2Sim from the marketplace
2. Use it to transfer all of your contacts to your sim card
3. Select the contacts you want and go to your phone and transfer them one by one from sim to phone.
4. Now that they are on the phone you can set up groups using with the contacts that you just moved over.
5. Once you set up your group, go back to contacts2sim app and delete the contacts from the sim
6. Restarting the phone will remove the duplicate entries from your contact list.
That should be it. Took me a day to figure it out. Any questions, feel free to email me at [email protected] or post a reply here.

Hope this helps someone, I downloaded Groupy and was about to D/L another app; I found you can set sms groups with the android software (SGS) NO OTHER APP NEEDED;
1. copy contact from SIM to phone
2. open contacts
3. go to groups
4. open menu and create your group
5. open your group and select (add) contacts
happy group SMSing

[Q] (Q) Help With Syncing Facebook

I have had a Motorola Droid 3 for about a week now. I just downloaded the Facebook App. It asked me to sync my contacts, so I did it. Now when I go through my contacts, there are doubles. There's the contact that was originally on my phone, and the one that came off of Facebook. I don't want to delete the original because I'm not quite sure if the number on Facebook is the correct number, and I like the idea of having a picture ID for my contacts. Any help would be appreciated.
you can join the contacts, although the process of having FB contacts and GMAIL contacts should be automatice. did you add a FB account in the account setup portion?
to join, edit the account, hit menu and then join. select accounts you want to join.
i have to do this with a few friends that insist on using aliases on FB.
On facebook you can disable the contact importing to your phone. Or on your phone in the main contacts directory you can disable contacts from fbook sync from showing. I had done it another way when I first got my droid 3 which was less of a hassle but I think I did it by luck.

Merging Phone Phone Accounts

Maybe the wrong place for this question, so if it is direct me accordingly, is there a way to merge my gmail account to my yahoo account for my phone's main login? Or maybe a combination sync to both?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
Does check marking the sync on both accounts for say something like contacts or calendar merge the two? I hope my question is clear as mud!
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
I think you have to just manually pull out your contacts from yahoo into your gmail account. Or I know gmail allows you to pull your contacts out and put them into a different format, but I'm not sure if yahoo will allow you to upload that file into contacts. You can merge gmail contacts though if you can get them all in there.
Personally I hate yahoo cause they don't allow anywhere near the flexibility that gmail does unless you pay them.

Well google's flexibility is bar none. To get my facebook contacts into google+ I had to import all of my facebook friends to a yahoo account, then was able to import yahoo into G+. So I would imagine it shouldn't be hard when setting up a gmail account to get all contacts and emails imported.

Question on Email apps

Just wondering if anyone may have some tricks or suggested Email apps for me.
Basically I do a lot of emails to a "group" I have set up in Google Contacts. Now on my phone which is running HTC Sense I can add the group to the recipient fields no problem. On the Touchpad running CM9 I can't seem to find an option to allow the same.
So my assumption is that it has to.do.with the AOSP email app, but I have tried k9 as well to no avail...
Is there a way to allow groups from contacts to be added or do I need to find a different app.... Any suggestions?
Thanks

Groupu works but you must install the Gmail app also and use that to send your group emails as it wll not work with the stock app .
Took a while to figure it out but it does the job .
I hope this helps.
