I just came from the hero and I'm trying to figure some things out.
How do you assign new google contacts to existing groups in the phone. I know you can do it with samsung's 'phone' contacts.
How do you assign a specific contact to go straight to voicemail?
Any help would be appreciated

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 everyone
I recently bought the HTC Magic and I am very satisfied with the sync it does with the Google apps, which is really seamless.
What I would really like though is being able to call numbers directly from calendar entries. I have names of clients, followed by their numbers as calendar entries.. Does anyone know if there is any way I could do that? Is there an app maybe out there that could do that?
Can anyone point me to a developer who could maybe program that?
So far the only solution I have found is to ask Google to sent me an SMS reminder with my appointment. The SMS is clickable and the telephone numbers inside the SMS are callable as well. But I don't want to be doing that, since I am making a lot of calls everyday.
Thank you all for your time and help

Hi all,
I have recently got an android htc desire, I have played around with putting direct dial contact and direct messaging contact on my phone however it comes up with the same contact picture and no way of distinguishing between which is a text message and which is going to dial the number?
Can anyone point me in the right direction to an app that might solve this issue?
Many Thanks
James
AnyCut or BetterCut, perhaps.
With my G1 I could set a different ring for each contact within the edit contact field. But i cant seem to find how to do it on the vibrant. How help out there? Thanks.

Check it again pls. That option is right here in my phone.
1. Find the song you want to use for the ringtone in the music player.
2. Long press > Set as > Individual ringtone.
3. Select contact.
Step 3 is a little tricky since the contact needs to be stored on the phone (not on Google or FB, etc.) in order to work. So for me, the contact list was empty. I just clicked "Add Contact" and typed in the person's name and it automatically found the existing person in my Google contact list, stored it on the phone, and assigned the ringtone. However, everyone in my contacts is listed by "[FirstName] [LastName]" so it's really easy for me.
Using Ringdroid works, too.
The option is not there for Google contacts.

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 ...
