Failed to edit or delete contact in HD - Touch HD General

I purchased a HTC touch HD (blackstone) yesterday. the phone has been unlocked and the version is: R: 1.09.25.14, G: 52.49a.25.26w, D: 1.19.255581. and the ROM version showed in os is MicNeo CHS.
The phone is good, however, if I create a new contact, the contact can't be deleted or be edited any more after it has been stored. Each time when I choose "delete" from the menu, a dialog is poped up to ask me to confirm the deletion, but it will never success.
Is there anyone can help me?

In your list of contacts, when you tap on a contact, you see their name with picture, then the different numbers or addresses for that contact etc.
If you tap on the name/picture, it should open the contact file to edit it. Does that work for you?
I don't know why it is not deleting it when you tap "delete contact".

it doesn't work, no image is shown and when I tape it, I can only see an blank screen labeled as "summary".

Hm, I don't know why that is. Since nobody else has posted any other options to solve this, maybe to can hard reset the phone and see if that fixes it.

Touch-it 4.4

I have tried to search with no luck. My question is when i installed touchit 4.4 i do not have any of the pop up menu's IE when making a text and i start typing the persons name or a word it never pops up suggestions. With over 200 contacts i would like to have the short option to type in 3 letters or so and select the contact from the actual Sms screen. Another thing is when i goto create new (msg) i dont get the option to do MMS or SMS. Lastly off the top of my head when i am typing words i like the option with suggestions again. Can anybody either point me to the proper settings or registry keys to re-enable these features. Also i noticed when i put touch it on my phone all of my contacts are doubled now ? how can i fix this without manually deleting them all

1. I havent seached for a fix as far as typing input for SMS recipients, I have just gotten use to clicking menu and adding someone from my contacts instead of typing there name.
2. If you put messaging on your today screen, click on the no unread messages bar and it will take you to the messaging center to pick MMS,SMS, email account.
3. I did think the wings OEM text suggestion program was great, Ive gotten use to not using it with 4.4. Tho if you use the virtual keyboard the program is still enabled.
I dont know if any of this will be a fix for you, it is alil info. There might be things you have to get use to not having with Touch, but be glad you have more than 14mb of memory.
Also, for the duplicate contacts, I would just make sure all your numbers are embedded on your sim card, then select all from your contacts and delete them. Open SIM manager from programs, select all from menu and save all to contacts.
Yes true maybe someone can find the registry keys to enable it, Speaking of registry besides the lame attempt at wiki of a good solid registry hack,tweak mod guide does anybody have a better site while i was Out of town visiting over xmas i stumbled accross a site that offered so many registry hacks but i didnt book mark it
Also a few more questions i get really mad that the Wing does not allow lets say .mid .gif etc files in MMS's is there a way to disable automatic file deletion in mms? sorry if this doesnt make much sense just worked 14 hrs.
you can just write your contact's name (or part of their name) and then go to "menu" and click on "check names".
This should be easier than going through your contacts.

typing a name and then going thru menu is more steps than just clicking add recipent and clicking the contact you want.
I dont know any other registry sites.

Empty contact list

Hello.
I have a HTC touch 3G (didn't know it was called jade) for less than one month.
Since last week i'm having a enoying problem.
Every time i open my messages or my calendar, my contact list appear blank.
But the contacts are not gone, because i can use then when making a call, or writing a message. They just do not appear in the "contacts" menu or in the "All People" from touchFlo.
I'm still using the same ROM from factory.
ROM version: 1.40.707.2 (21259)
ROM date: 10/24/08
The device is unlocked. I did not had to do anything to use my old SIM card.
Anyone had any problem like that? Know how to fix?
Or should I update to another ROM?
I'm newbie in this, so can anyone suggest a good ROM?
I saw a lot of them in the forum, but i don't know which to choose.
Thanks.
What do you mean by "Every time i open my messages or my calendar, my contact list appear blank." You mean it was there before in contact lists and now it disppears ?
Try install iContact (avian or burt, either one) and see if the list is there. If its there then there's something wrong with the windows conntact.
The list IS there. is just not showing.
I forgot to mention... If I soft-reset, every thing back to normal.
The contact list appears again.
But if i open messages (that it. just click the "messaging" menu), the contact list appears empty...

Need your help about Contacts and Random Access right bar

Hi,
First thing i want to say that, it's cool to be here
I've got a problem now. Let say i did reset (hard reset) my HTC HD, re-install the softwares... everything is alright, except my contacts.
Before i did hard-reset, I had Random Access bar on the right (without the default alphabet abc.. on the top) and it done well. Whenever i want to add a person, i just tap New and input the information.
Now, after i reset, I lost the Random Access bar. When i add a person, i tap New and must choose a Contact Type (Outlook Contact or SIM Contact) then type the information.
Please help me bring the Random Access bar back and dont make me choose Contact Type as i did before
Thank you!
PS: I tried to download many kind of the Random Access zip files in here (which have exe files, 3 picture files and others...) and do the instructions (copy to windows, change registry...) but it does not work.

How to edit/remove contact favorites

Hi - does anyone know how to edit or remove favourites on the contacts screen? None of the menu options has it (or it's not obvious). I've set up some contacts with the "wrong" default contact method and I want to change it.
Thanks.
PS unlocked Desire from Clove - arrived Wednesday 14th April.
Press - People after that Groups, select Favorites and long press over the contact

Thanks Soledue. Typical - I sort of discovered the method not long after I posted and it's how you describe. The people widget can show any group - Favorites is just one of them! Cheers.
Am I being really dumb, because I'm having a problem with this too and your solution doesn't seem to solve it!?
All I want to do is remove some people from the "Favorites" group.
I have selected that contact, chosen "Edit", opened the groups list and unchecked the box. The list on the contact's screen still shows "Favorites" and they still appear on the widget. Go back in to edit the contact and the box is still unchecked.
If I open People and then open the groups screen, select the group and long press the contact I have the following menu items: "Call Mobile", "Edit Contact", "Delete Contact", and "Send contact as vCard". Delete contact does exactly that, delete's them completely from the phone.
So how can I get these people out of the Favorites group???
It's prob cause it's still on the Google sync'd contact...had some issues with it myself

My feeling was the same, especially since I have been able to get the contacts removed from the group and widget only to have them reappear minutes later. I assumed this was the result of the phone sync'ing. But I can't quite figure it out... if I view the contact in gmail they aren't a member of the "Starred" group and there is no "Favorite" group, so I think that group must be local to the device.
I am getting the same also, if you view the details they are not in any group, yet show on the widget and in the favourites group itself. Even went to google and removed the notes that, I think, related to the group entry???
Same problem here!
I've added a contact to the Favorites Tab and now I can't delete it from the Group. I've tried all the methods from above posts but none works.
Does anyone know how to fix this, because it's quite frustrating!
The only prob I have , i that every group has " voice mail " in it .. at the top!!...
cant get rid of it .. and it's not part of grp settings
any ideas?
i would like to know that how can i remove the Voicemail number from the contact list widget? tried doing it many times but it keeps on showing no matter what. i dont have a voicemail number and if i had it, it will never be my fave number ever. please help

I have spent all day trying to remove one contact that was stuck in the favourites and your idea worked instantly.
I could remove and add other users just not this particular people.
Thank you
I have had a similar issue to all mentioned in this thread, and there is a way to resolve it.
I beleive the problem is caused by multiple entries per contact. These entries are from your contact, sim contact, google contacts etc.
This is how I fixed the issue;
>Click on the people app
>Select the contact you want to fix (unfortunately it has to be done individually)
>on the top right of the screen there will be something call "Linked", tap on this
>this now shows you what this contact is linked to. If it shows multiple phone, facebook, google etc unlink them all
>make sure you only 1 phone contact, in this set the Group to favourite (or whatever you want), now either link the google/hotmail etc ones to it, or copy the details to the contact and delete all duplicate details
I have condensed mine to phone contact and facebook (plus a few with google).
The desire links all different contact details from various form together. when it does this it picks its own default one, hence you have favourites that aren't, or vice versa.
It took me about 2 to 3 hours to go through my entire contacts list sort it out, pain-staking, but well worth it

THANK YOU!
I'd been at the groups menu and looked at my favorite contacts, but it never occurred to me to remove them from the group directly! Spent several hours editing this one contact I was dying to remove from favorites, only to find it stuck as a favorite. Went through my Google Contacts settings over and over, synchronizing manually every minute after un-starring it, but this was what I was looking for!
I registered only to thank you ^^
Im rather confussed
I have just got my ideos..
what widget r u talking about? I have no contact app.
Im wanting to deleted the people out of the "favroites" in the phone book area...
Please explain to me what to do???
thanks

[Q] Lost contact info since upgrade HELP!

Ever since I upgraded to .596 I lost my contacts, really odd. They are still there if someone calls their name and pic and number show up. If I go to my address book and select a name (which are all still there just can't get i to edit them or even see them), the screen blinks back to my home screen. Making me crazy. Anyone have a clue on what I did to my DX!!!
Did you check "display options" and see which accounts are enabled to show on your contact lists?
as for the blink back to home screen, perhaps your contact app might be corrupted or something. you can always try a wipe/factory reset?
