Help. My contacts dont show up. - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Guys,
I have Bifmod 2.1 on my G1 and I dont see all my contacts when I tap on the Contacts tab in the phone application. I have installed phonebook 2.0 . In this app, I could see the contacts that I dont see in the stock phone application. However, in the phonebook 2.0, I dont see all the numbers for a Contact. I see only one number.
Could somebody help me understand what should I do to see all my contacts in the Stock phone app? I like the Stock phone app but I dont see all the contacts ( the newly added ones do not show up at all). If the newly added contacts call me, they are shown in the call log, but they are not shown in the Contacts tab.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Hans

First dumb question... you signed into gmail?

Yes, I have signed into Gmail and have imported my contacts from my SIM.

[Q] can't add the phonebook data to my contacts

Hi,
I'm having this weird thing: I just upgraded my SGS to froyo 2.2 , but i forgot to backup my contacts list. So, when i looked on my contacts list and it was empty and i had no one to blame but me...
However, after a while i noticed that most of my contact list is somewhere in my phonebook - i can see someone's details by typing his phone number. I can view his name and even his gmail account by clicking on the "add to contacts" option (that appears after you type numbers) but i can't see him in the contacts folder.
Maybe it basic and i'm missing something - i don't know, but it's really irritating...
I've tried everything i can think of: Some of that was to sync my gmail account (and facebook). I imprted every phone number from SD and SIM: But i still can't see my contacts numbers via "contacts" (only via "phone" by typing the phone numbers)
Anyone has an idea what is wrong? Or how to add the data that is out there in "phone" to "contacts"?
Thanks

[Q] Contacts Issue

ok here is the thing...
i installed Superfroyo 8.4.6 rom on my htc legend today, and i have this problem that i dont have phone contacts (or My Contacts), i can only see Google Contacts
i dont care my numbers gets synced with google but:
i want to join the contacts with facebook contacts so i'll have their pictures from facebook.
which i can.. but then i want to use other app for showing my contacts (like Dialer One) and it only shows the pic from google and not from facebook, in stock contacts i see facebook pics..
in stock htc rom and in cyanogenmod 6.1 RC2 where i had phone contacts i could see the facebook pic in every app..
if i go to contacts, then click menu and 'display options', i can see only my google account and no phone contacts..
if i add a contact it doesnt save it to phone.
does anyone knows how to fix it????????
ohh i forgot to say
that i also installed an app called youlu Address Book and i thought it will recognize the facebook pics but its not..
however when i press menu - settings and then on switch account i can see:
Mobile <0 Contacts>
and my google account <174 Contacts>
i swithced to Mobile and tried to create a new contact but it sends me to the regular add contacts and saves it to my google account..
yeah i had this problem with my phone too. i dont know why but all the roms that have that froyo interface ie not eclair all dont show sim contacts. its really annoying but i never found a fix for it, so all i did was go onto my google account online and just put in all my sim contacts there (i just put my sim in an old phone to see my contacts rather than putting an eclair rom back on, and then going back to froyo)
sorry dude i dunno how else to fix it besides that

[Q] CM7 Some Gmail Contacts dont Show. Why??

When I loaded CM7 Nightly, RC2, RC3, and now CM7.0, some of my contacts dont show up. When I manually type in the phone # then it shows there name and pic but its not in the contacts.
This doesnt happen on any other rom. When I go back to the Desire HD rom all the contacts are there.
This isnt facebook contacts, just regular Gmail contacts. It doesnt make a difference whether I select "show contacts with phone #s" or not. Either way a few contacts just kinda disappear.
Anyone else having this issue? I imagine a some people probally just dont notice a few contacts gone
Thanks in advance
i see the same problem. so then i logged into the gmail website, went to contacts, and turns out google completely altered the way contacts are set up. previously it was "my contacts" was what you used and got synced with your phone. now its just one huge list of everything, so certain contacts may or may not show up in the list. i'm pissed cause now i have to redo all my contacts again.

[Q] Damaged link between Facebook contacts and joined contacts?

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.

Sync with facebook ?

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.

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.
