Hi guys,
Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing the same problem I have where the emails for each contact are not displayed when viewing that contact. When I scroll over to the email "tab" while viewing a single contact, nothing is shown under emails.
If anyone knows how to fix this, please let me know! I've tried cleaning out my email accounts and re-doing the email account setups. It didn't help one bit.
Any help is appreciated.

perhaps a silly question... but have you got your contacts email address in their corresponding address book entry?? (ie. you need to have linked the 2 together for the phone to know that the email from [email protected] is from Joseph Bloggs in your contact list?)
Yep, I'm certain I have email addresses in the contacts and they refer to the emails I have in my email accounts. I even tried editing some of the email addresses and retyping them in the contact's info. Still no luck...
The weird thing is that I used to have this working... but for some reason it suddenly disappeared!
Make sure you are not running any task killers that would kill timescape then you will be fine. I used to kill timescape all the time and related functions stopped working properly.

I'm sure I didn't kill any Timescape or Mediascape or even Email app. I have them on the ignore list.
I just rebooted my phone and went right into the contacts, before the task killer does its auto-kill when the screen is off. Still no luck... emails still don't show up in the contact's "Emails".
The stupid thing is, when I go to Timescape, I can see the various contacts' emails listed. It even links up the contact's picture to the emails by displaying the contact's picture in the boxes. When I click on the infinite button on the Timescape's email box, it takes me to the right contact! Yet, when I'm in the contact, no emails are listed... I don't know what's going on.
FYI.. I uninstalled startup auditor and task manager on my phone on Friday.. and found that the phone battery lasts just as long.. and I'm having less problems with things not working!!.. perhaps worth trying that yourself?
Ok I figured out what the problem is. It seems if you have more than one email account setup, then emails will not show up in Timescape nor will they show up in the contacts' view.
I'm not sure if this is only me or are others experiencing the same bug. It seems the emails will only appear in Contacts' View if Timescape is working properly in updating its email spine.
I've read on the Sony Ericsson support site that Timescape only supports one email account. Maybe this has something to do with it. That is a really stupid cause for my problems if that's the cause.
I have added two e-mail accounts to the default Mail app. Both of them are shown in Timescape, and both are shown in contact view.
However, this didn't work before I deleted and re-added one of the accounts:

E-mails in Moxier, Gmail or K-9 e-mail apps don't show up in Timescape nor in contact view, though.

ok i have all my contacts linked to my Gmail account so i can transfer from phone to phone...it's been successful going from the BB 8900 to the HTC Tilt 2 and finally to the HTC Aria. 90% of them are contacts that are linked to my facebook account...ie friends contact pictures changes as they update their facebook profile pic.
but what i've recognized having this benefit is that when fwding or composing email in the Gmail app...it pulls the email address and phone number of everyone in my facebook friends list. folks i don't care to or ever will contact, that are not in my Gmail contact list. this makes for even a longer list of names to scroll through..especially using common letters as A or C..etc.
is there a way to turn to this off? i mean only have the Gmail email app pull contacts from ONLY my gmail contact list/those contacts listed on my phone only.
Also interested if there is a working solution to this, for similar annoyance.
I have the facebook application syncing with my contact data.
When I pull up my contacts and look under the linked accounts, each user has 5 linked accounts.
How is this possible? Is this a glitch?
The only other contact sync I have is Google.
same here.. when I look, there are five icons "linked" one google, one facebook, and THREE little green icons (WTF are those?)

Yes, that is exactly what I have too. Very annoying.
I have noticed this issue as well. In my accounts and sync settings I somehow have two facebook accounts, which I think was caused by the last upgrade to the facebook app.
Unsyncing and/or deleting one of the facebook accounts solved the problem.
I am also showing lots of account sync icons in my contacts. Thought maybe I just did something wrong. If deleting them and then syncing them worked for you I'm going to try it and see what I come up with.

Happens on mine too. If you set up your Facebook account from the Accounts and Sync settings, then you won't have any problems with multiple linked accounts. When you use the Facebook Android app and widget and login, it'll ask you if you want to sync your contacts and calendars. That's where I saw that all the duplicate linked accounts appear.
The big problem I've seen is that either way, if you go to your contacts and try to access their Facebook page it will only open your profile and not go to their page.
Kind of sucks.

I get that too! Now because I have multiple links to each contact, I have 5 links to facebook profiles under each contact. Each time I click on any of them, it simply takes me to my own page. Great...
I Just double checks a few of mine and it shows 3 right now but I think that's because I have it showing on specific accounts. I have a Google, Facebook, and unknown account listed per person. The unknown one is the one I don't get. I can also see their recent updates, pics, and profile pics again. Idk wtf happened lol.

Yep, I meant to edit my post with how I got rid of them but because I'm a n00b here I get limited to one post every 5 minutes including editing :\
The way I found to get rid of the duplicate contacts is having to go into the Accounts and Sync settings and delete the Facebook Android account. If you're using the Facebook widget that will also log you out of it. You can then log back in using the widget or app and make sure to uncheck the contacts sync so that way it doesn't sync at all (especially since your phone already is doing so if you added your account using the Accounts and Sync setting). Reason I wanted to get rid of them is when you access your contacts through something like adding a new contact from an unknown text message, it pulls up all the synced contacts that are connected with your phone (duplicate entries stored on your phone/sim/facebook account(s)/twitter/etc)
Under the contacts menu of the streak everything is fine, but if I use another app or widget that access' my contacts, such as facebook sync or picture dial, I have multiple entries for each person, none of which are what is shown in my actual contacts list. For example someone has their phone number, email and picture (synced from facebook) in my actual contacts list, but in the program theres 3 versions, one with email and picture, one with just email and one with phone and email. It means when i try and use picture dial I cant select one that all the info it needs.
I also noticed that in the actual contacts list it doesnt seem to matter what sync options i set or what sub group im currently supposed to be looking at, it always shows the same contacts. For instance it won't show my gmail contacts even if i tell it to. It doesn't bother me, but I don't know if the two issues are related.
Any ideas anyone? Is there anyway to bulk get rid of all contacts? Then i could just get my computer to sync all the contacts back on again, though I'd have to go through and link them to facebook again so I'd rather not if i can avoid it.
Any help appreciated!

Thank you.
In that case you have to remove the add book link to facebook. If not it will always display the email add from facebook is automatically displayed.

But if i do that wont that also remove the facebook mobile phone numbers too? ...
I didnt really wanna do that. I just wanted away with the email addresses in my contact list!
I'm not on the stock ROM anymore but I seem to remember there being a "Display only contacts with phone numbers" option somewhere. Just have a play around in the settings and I'm sure you'll find it.
For only show numbers in 2.1 Android:
Load people, hit menu, thenview.
As for what you are asking, I've yet to see anything.

All of my Facebook contacts get imported & properly linked with my phone but one. I logged out of the Facebook app and even went as far manually deleting the contact from my telephone (I thought it may be a linking issue). Still, for some odd reason, the Facebook contact will not get imported into the telephone. I removed the Facebook account multiple times and have not had any luck. Any ideas?
Add that contact manually and link it to facebook
How would I go about doing that. I remember trying to edit the contact and linking them to Facebook (and I did not see any corresponding field that would let me do that).
Also, the individual sent me a PM on Facebook. I got the alert in the notification bar. When I tried reading the messages we had sent to each other back and fourth, the individual appeared as 'Facebook User.' I can see all my Facebook contacts through the Facebook app, including them. I deleted the contact. Will try adding them again. In hopes that the issue will be resolved... Keep in mind I have over 100+ Facebook friends and this is the ONLY person I am having issues with.
I have deleted them from all of my Google Contacts etc. So far, their name is just added as a contact in my phone. That's all...
Anyone? Ideas?

I can't do that because they don't even appear in the Facebook subgroup of contacts although I SEE them as a contact through the Facebook app.
Same problem here with a couple of contacts.
