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...

Sorry to return to an older topic, but nobody answered me and this bug is really annoying...
Sometimes selecting a contact and "send Sms" from its card pulls up a blank SMS form, without the receiver's number already typed in. This happens with some contacts only, but... HOW DO I FIX THIS?
TIA,

Hmm... have you tried recreating the contact?
This happened to me before, when sending text messages, or even emails, it lets you just click on the space provided and puts in the contact numbers. However for SMS, use your stylus and tap on the "To:" word.
Ta da! It's actually on the manual and I've been trying to figure this thing out for a while myself. Good luck
I have tried this on my qtek and does not have this bug. Do you need to send sms this way or can you not select message\new then select to to get list of contacts - may solve your problem. If not prob a ROM problem - did a quick search cannot find any references to new qtek italian rom so suggest you go to qtek italian website to look for new rom. Or upgrade to WWE ROM
Good luck
Cutejules: I know you can use that workaround, but still the problem remains. Why only a few contacts have this bug? How can it be solved?
Meschle: I don't think there is any upgraded IT rom, but I will look about the WWE thing (which I don't know anything about, but I'm sure there are infos about somewhere in this forum)
i dont think it pulls up a blank page, the problem I noticed after a while is it pulls up a sms page and shows you half way down the page as if you have scrolled down.
the work around = scroll back up.

the number should be saved as mobile, may be you saved it as somthing els like home or work.
Karzi: nope, it's the actual "To:" field which comes up blank.
Ammar: Nope again. The "missing" numbers are correctly listed as "mobile"
This is really driving me crazy...
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.
Hi all, did a quick search to find nothing related to the below:
I am having hard time knowing which SMS I have replied, or which email I have forwarded.
The icon in the inbox never changes, only an unread messages becomes read but no indication if it has been replied or forwarded.
If anyone could advice or point me to the right direction please, many thanks.
Did you try HD Tweak?
I think you can set what you want using this app.
SMS / Email Icon.
Hi GoldCoin, I have checked HD Tweak and found that you can get sent notifications although this is not necessary.
What I meant was, when you reply to a SMS the icon in the inbox should change. An example, you can go to your hotmail account and reply to an e-mail or forward and you will notice the envelope gets marked that it has been replied/forwarded too.
I have attached an example of the icons.
I hear you...
I'm looking for the same feature.
I recently changed from 6.1 to 6.5 on my diamond, don't remember the name of that rom. But i actually had the feature.
However i've now changed to a different 6.5 (lower mem. usage), and it doesn't have the feature, i'd be very happy to hear from anyone who knows the solution. Will keep investigating myself though
Ironic, it's a business phone and they forgot the icons. Work around, I have added 2 additional folder in my email inbox: Replied and Review. Once I have replied an e-mail I move the message to Replied folder, that way I can track which ones I have left to reply. Other e-mails that need reviewing goes into the Review folder which I usually access through the PC due to it either being a large excel/presentation or just a forwarded email.
Hmm, you're right.
I could have sworn that my original stock ROM had those little icons. I think it was the same envelope icon with a little green arrow on it.
I'm now using Dutty's 3.7 XT ROM and all the icons (in the windows sms application) are the same.
Does anyone else also remember that icon I described, or am I just imagening things?
One thing I do notice is in the SMS/MMS inbox.
If you have it set up to "threaded view", then in the list of messages in the inbox, it will show a short preview of the last message in the thread. If you wrote the last message, then the preview starts with "Me:". That's a quick way to know if you responded to a given text message.
However, the problem still remains when using emails.
I hope someone can figure this one out.
I had the feature in a ROM cooked by someone from xda-dev, don't remember which one though, I still have the ROM somewhere on my computer, and I'm trying to locate it and figure out who to ask about it.

cool!
I posted a question about it in Dutty's 3.7 ROM thread, but I haven't had any responses.
Well, i found out that the rom I was using, was one of Lobsterdave's...
However i also found out, that on my current rom (6.5) if I: open the inbox, press a message to open it, and use the reply soft-key, it will actually work.
A bit teedious, but the only way for now.
I asked in the thread of the rom, and wasn't really supplied with anything useable. Just a suggestion to cook my own rom...
I'm actually going to give a try. Until then I gotta admit... I'm starting to loose hope.
I think maybe the rhodium manilla, is able to flag messages, without opening inbox and so on. But that's not an option for me, as I'm running the old TF3D.
I had the same problems with newer ROMs on my old HD2 imports; as long as I stuck with the 1.43 ROM I never had any problems, but now I am stuck with the stock ROM on the T-Mobile USA 1024 and need a fix! Does anyone know of a ROM or registry edit or CAB or SOMETHING that can solve my problem?
The problem being...
After selecting a text, email, call, anything that launches a contact, selecting the contact's main profile screen and then pressing the Back softkey will cause Sense to hang for about a minute. The same thing happens under a handful of other scenarios, like selecting any number to call from that same screen, or pressing back to correct a number in the dialer. This started occuring as soon as I synchronized all my contacts from Exchange, before I installed any other mods on the phone...

Mine works fine as far as I can tell.
Did you try a task29? Sometimes there can be junk in the ROM. Yeah, yeah, I know...
sounds more like a faulty contact to me, maybe one that has a lot of stuff in the notes field perhaps? Something that is being perpetuated when synced.
Yeah; I actually just found a post at Pocketnow.com that said the notes field of contacts is the culprit... Cleaning everything up now. Thanks!
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
