When using Google maps and then going into my stared items all the things I add like my my sisters address doesn't have the call tab option. How can get a number linked. The option is there for stuff I have searched for off the net and got the contact from that.

I think this may work, not too sure as I haven't used the feature yet, but on google maps, go in to menu>more>lab>bubble buttons, this is in a beta phase.
Just enabled all the Google labs features and they are good. However that was noty point. I want to be able to use the call tab in stared places for contacts I have manual added eg my sisters address. Even when I link it Ty maps contact is doesn't enable the call tab. This feature only works for stared items added from internet search which have a contact number in culled on the review eg mc Donalds in London.

Great idea! Please submit a request to Google so they may consider sorting this out in a future version of Google Maps
I don't really understand when this feature would be useful. Are you saying you want to go through Google Maps > Starred Items to call a contact? Why not just go into your contacts and call them?
Just want to know how to do it.

I notice you can add instant messaging mediums under your profile and other contacts but when you goto click on them to chat with that client it doest do anything. What am I missing? Also is there a way to add pics to your facebook account thru the built in client?

I do'nt see any IM logins under the standard Add Account screen.

Edit any one of your contacts, or edit your own profile and you will see a section to add instsnt messaging such as msn,yahoo and aim. Ive put stuff in there and the once done you will see under that contact an option to chat using aim,etc but iy doesnt do anything.

Trillian is releasing a version for Android (to round out the set with the iPhone, And BlackBerry versions). Maybe a program like that can hook into that information. We should know soon when the beta is released.

If I have a Facebook account and would like to keep my contacts linked... why can I not select Google as my picture source? The only option is Facebook. I want to use the pictures 'I' choose for my contacts, not their Facebook pics. I know the Incredible lets you select Google as the source of your pics.
I really don't want to keep my contacts un-linked.
Thanks guys.

I'm also trying to figure this one out. I also had the option to choose my pic source on my Evo 4g. It must be a HTC option.
Anyone know if its possible on the Droid x?
Im also trying to figure this out and also the display name some of my contacts are using their facebook nick name instead of the phone book name. it is very confusing and id like to also fix this as well.

Hi guys had the phone for around.d 3 weeks I think now love the phone screen is so crisp espesh when watching films it comes to its own. The only problem I have found and can not sort out is contact sync I want only the contact on my phone to be sync with facebook not everyone I have there also I have 3x each person sim phone and sync been playing g for days now it is easy on my hd2 any help plz

Yep I have the same issue. I cannot stand the way this phones handles contacts and syncing. I have yet to find a way to just add contacts the good old fashion way as static data on the memory card which is what I want.
Sadly I have removed everything facebook from the phone just to keep the contacts out despite un-ticking sync contacts
come on guys there must be someone with a way round this problem
....
Well, the only solution I found so far is to visit htcsense.com and edit all the contacs in there. So instead of having three contacts each with different information, I just have one contact with all the information.
But it took me about 6h to edit all the contacs
lol not really a 'solution' is it.....
i have done this now takes ages as it loads up all contacts every time. there must be another way to sort this out i love my DHD but this is rely doing my head in now. I get a bigger list when i go to tex and add a contact in there all my FB contacts come up not much fun when you have 300+ in there all with funny stuff instead of numbers come on guys you can cook up new Roms but no one knows this problem HELP plz
Use your Google contact list... It really can't possibly get any better than that.
I am, but that doesn't stop facebook populating everything. Why can't I have Facebook for HTC sense without it putting all the contacts in there...
Open the People app
Tap menu
Tap View
You can disable the other contact lists

Oh wait to they're still in the dialer aren't they... sucks!

Exactly!!!
OK I just disabled HTC facebook completely, and now just use the native Android app. It properly supports "existing contacts only"
It's not like HTC's app or widget are particularly good anyway

I was running cyanogenmod, but I missed the ability to match contact suggestions.
The dialer too obviously, I know I can use an alternative dialer for this.
If there is a matched contacts method or app, I can dump sense for good.

Bump in the night.
You tried the facebook for android app? twitter app? They synch the contacts pictures and numbers off facebook and twitter, google account would have hopefully backed up your contacts as well so it will pull it from there as well, thats the same as matched contacts (Y) all matched contacts was,
TL;DR download facebook app from market, install, just go to account settings and add an account and make it a facebook one
?????
profit.
I have people such as my brother who have different names on facebook and twitter. This gives me two contacts where I want one.
Have you tried Gibt contacts? I remember it offers some kind of contact merging...

Gah... curse you, Auto correction. I meant Go contacts... should be included in Go dialer...

Hi!
In the past few days, several people have called me claiming I've been texting them about their items on craigslist. I haven't been texting, and the people calling me are from states in the mid-west. It appears that someone took my number and added it to their Google Voice account. When these craigslist people call me, it does the whole, "state your name and we'll try to connect you".
What can I do, aside from getting a new number?
Try to reclaim your number via Google voice
Get (if you don't have one) a Google voice account
Add your number to it
It will say "this number is in use would you like to reclaim it" (or something similar)
Note: the person(s) that had your number added WILL RECEIVE AN EMAIL ABOUT THE CHANGE.
You could contact your carrier as well, otherwise this might become a cat and mouse game between you and the other person(s).

I tried adding my number to my Google Voice account, and it gave me the following error:
"This number is already being used on two other Google Voice accounts. Forwarding numbers cannot be shared across more than two accounts."
It didn't give me the option to reclaim it. I have 3 Gmail accounts, and it isn't an any of them.
Thanks!

Try contacting Google directly. You may have to go through the help pages. I have never seen a number be able to be used on TWO Google accounts at once. (I have two google voice accounts, and cannot use one number on both)
I wish I had another solution. Sorry.

I called the FCC, and they said there's nothing you can do.
I've stopped getting random calls.Whoever was spoofing with my number seems to have moved on to another number.
