Anyone know how to edit and or delete phone numbers in a persons contact info. I have to cell phone numbers for them and i need to delete one but can't figure out how.
Bring up the contact....
Menu ----> Edit ----> press the X next to the number you wanna delete
Thanks but im still having a problem. The contact is linked to gmail and fb. When i click on edit all the numbers do not ahow up so i can't delete it. But when i just view the contact all the numbers are there. When i click edit the only number that shows up is the number that i want to keep. I want to get rid of the other number that fb is giving.
The number that FB is showing is something you can't get rid of. That number is something that person is still displaying/listing on their Facebook profile. Therefore HTC Sense/Facebook thinks its a perfectly valid number.
The only way to remove it would be to unlink their Facebook profile from their Contact profile on your phone.
Or you can tell your friend to update his/her profile with correct information.
Thanks man.

I have recently bought an XDAII and am very happy overall. One thing driving me crazy is when I have a missed call and view the number in the call log there is no way of adding the number to an existing contact.
You can add to a new contact but not new contact - even just being able to copy the number to the clipboard would be good...
At the moment I have to write the number down from the log and then go into contacts and enter the number manually. MANUALLY! this isnt supposed to be what technology is about! :?
Can anyone help.. please?!
If the number is not in your contacts, adding as a new contact is easy. If the number is say, a new / alternate phone number for an already exisiting contact, the only was is to create a new contact then copy the number, go to your existing contact and paste it. Then go back and delete the new. temporary contact. It is a bit of a pain but I can't think of any other way at the moment !

Thanks for the reply. That is the way I am doing it at the moment but seems very long-winded! Have been looking for perhaps a third party app which makes clipboard functions available from apps which dont have it as standard (such as call log).. no luck so far.
Hello!
suppouse I have Someone's Cell phone in my contact list and that person calls me from his house's phone. Having the new number on screen, Is there any way for me to add that new number to that persons contacts space ?? Everytime I hit add to contact the tytn automatically opens a new contact entry and does not give me the option to add it to an existing one.
I know it can be done manualy, I'm just wondering if there's a better way...
Thanks.
um edit and do it manually ?
you could try to type in the exact same name of your contact, not sure if it would make a new one or ask to add to old one you can try that.
Hey guys... not sure if i'm dumb, but i cant seem to figure out how to add additional numbers to the saved numbers in contacts without saving them.
for example, i have a contact named "keith" with the saved tel number 1234567. i do not want to change this. But if i were roaming and needed to add some numbers how do i do it? let's say i needed to press *108*611234567#... how do i add the additional numbers without saving it.
Thanks in advance!
Not sure I understand you.
You want to be able to add new numbers to existing contacts WITHOUT SAVING THEM?
Is this correct?
If you dial a number and you want to save this to an existing contact you can do this.
Its very simple. Simply select the number you want on your phone dial screen > Push Menu > Save to Contacts > Yes, To existing Contact > then select contact
thanks for the reply spartan...
if i can make it clearer....
i already have a saved number... "1234567" but if i am roaming overseas i might have to add a code to be able to call out. i do not want to permanently add these to the saved numbers. With sony ericsson, i just had to call the contact, cancel the call and add additional numbers on the dialing screen.
Unfortunately I am not aware of any way of doing this.
What may help is if you ring somebody. Obviously there number will appear below there name on dial screen. Now that you can see it you can type in their number again with code infront.
Hopefully I am mistaken and there is another way of doing this. Maybe somebody else can enlighten us. I will try searching and see if I can find anything. If I do I'll report back!!
yeah tat's what i am currently doing, but my memory's not too good so i have to write it down... thanks for your help.... i've tried searching about this too but didnt find anything... if i manage to i will also post it...
This is a really strange problem and I'm hoping someone can help me with it.
For some reason on my Treo Pro, there is this one specific random phone number which, although I can add it to a new or existing contact and it will show up correctly under that person in the Contacts app, does not seem to be recognized, remembered or associated throughout the rest of the phone.
Meaning, if I get an incoming call from that number it shows up as an unknown caller, displaying the number but no associated contact name. If I check my call log the number shows up there, rather than the contact name. Also in text messages, it just shows as the number by itself, again rather than the contact name to which it belongs. If I tap on that number in the SMS dialog, it tells me "This person is not in your contact list..." and asks me if I want to add them. And whether I add that number to an existing contact or create a new one for it, nothing changes. If I tap the number again, it still tells me it is not in my contact list. Over, and over, and over again. It just will not "stick" or take, permanently.
There is nothing odd about the actual number itself. It's the exact same format as all the other numbers in my contacts (1-416-xxx-xxxx). And I've tried adding the number in every possible way, with and without area code, '+' sign, '1' in front etc.. nothing makes a difference. I've rebooted the phone after adding it, and still no effect. It just will not recognize this phone number as belonging to a contact, even though under the contact it appears correctly, and I can call or text it from the contacts app.
Is there any reason this would be happening, or any way to fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks...
I have the same frustrating problem on my Treo Pro - contact names do not display even though they are saved to phone memory. The only solution I have found is to delete the contact and create a new one e.g. from the number that appears in call log or SMS. I presume the reason is Sprite Backup doing somethig wrong with the databases when restoring contacts after hard reset.
hey guys i was wondering how to remove the phone number out of sms? it says the persons name then it has their phone number next to it. this only happens when i backup my contacts from my google account. if i dont back those numbers up, and manually enter it, it only shows the persons name. any help is appreciated
I know that we talked about this in the thread and some people tried to but couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.
I just learned to live with it or just get another message application ...
