On the stock MMS app, it would only search through the contacts that you've defined to be displayed in the Phone app. This MMS app searches through all of them, even Facebook, and it's quite annoying.
Can anyone mod this or lead me in the right direction? I'd be down to pay $20!
Thanks,
Ricky
So you want it so that out only searches they your phone contacts?

No. I want it so that it only searches through the contacts that I've set to display. You get there from contacts -> more -> display options.
It may actually be the CM7 MMS.apk that I'm used to. I actually found a version of it in and installed and it works fine. They only thing I miss is the landscape view of the stock MMS. So if anyone can reverse engineer the CM7 apk and grab the bits that control what database to search through for contacts, I'd be willing to pay a nice sum!

Hi,
There is one thing that driving me nuts. Lets say I have a friend, whose names is John. In google, I have saved his email ID with name j.smith .. .. then his another email ID with johns .. .. and then finally his cell number with name john ..
After, I linked up all accounts in my HTC Desire People. I can see these three accounts in one single contact. Fare enough and perfect. But is there anyway, I can merge these three accounts into 1 so that it is synced to my Google Account and to my HTC Contacts?
Not sure if I understand correctly what you want to do but its something I've struggled with as well. There was a perfect app for this on iPhone/iOS but I have yet to find anything that comes even close on Android. Try Contacts Analyzer available on Market but it's dismal. Doesn't allow you a preview of the changes you're about to make before you commit them!
Didn't help that .. :s
Gmail Contacts
Your best bet is to just do it in Gmail from your computer, then let the phone sync. It's easy and you will have them all in the same format, and you can add pictures for caller ID, etc.
You're in trouble if you have 1,000 contacts like I used to...the idea I think is to use an app that auto-works and gets the job done as a batch without you having to edit every single contact...then you can sync to Facebook and pull in some photos IDs...
Hi,
Anybody knows of an app that merges / joins contacts?
HTC Sense has this function if you know what I mean, sometimes a chain-link icons shows up in the notification area.
I´d like to have an app that does this on a batch basis so that I can chose to do so for all my contacts instead of merging / joining one by one.
I know I can do this one by one. Go contacts Ex gives this function without doing it for everyone at one batch job. You have to acceppt one by one...
I am using , Google, ActiveSync, Facebook, Whatsapp etc. contacts
Ideas?

This. Plus there is an option on Gmail to merge duplicates so you can at least have google do most of the sorting and merging for you. And if possible, don't let any HTC app mess with my Google contacts.

I think that's the most important idea about merging. My opinion's that any given app could mess things up and leave you with a lot of different linked contacts. Personally I prefer to edit all my contacts at my Gmail account so that I don't have to merge them again everytime I flash another rom for example.
If you're willing to take the time and patience for it it'll pay off to manually manage your contacts at Gmail.

I've been searching that function for long time since I moved from the stock sense rom to others, and still no app is giving me this. I even tried a lot of different contact manager but no one works really well.
About G contacts: I really care to keep the list "clean" and every contact linked with whatsapp, email, facebook etc, but sometimes it just lose the info, even if I've just merged that contact with the app I'm currently using (I'm running MildWild) and rsynced the G account.
Try Go Contacts Ex (free), it has various functions on merging contacts (by number, email etc.)
Thanks, this works nearly perfect.
Mine im using contapps free from market, try it if you want too!￣ω￣

Hi
I just switched to Oxygen ROM which is amazing btw and my battery is lasting forever compared to stock... but there is some thing i do miss, the HTC Link in the contacts... which was pretty useful...
Also could anyone tell me how I can put Own Number and contact, so that it shows my picture in while am texting....
i'm not sure, but i think go cotacts has some of the features.

No in Go contact it's a merge option.
Me too I search an app with the link between contact. If you find one tell me.
A bit complicated but to link contacts, open a contact -> menu - edit contact -> menu -> join contact.
To make your contact photo show, just make sure you are in your address book with the same number as your phone. If you are in your address book and you're still not showing up, check your number is provided by your SIM by going to Settings -> About phone -> Status. The "My Phone Number" should be populated with your number. If not, get an app off the market to edit your SIM. I used this one: http://www.appbrain.com/app/my-phone-number/org.lytsing.myphonenumber
Not sure if this is relevant to what you want to know, but there is a free app called SyncMyPix which forces all of your contacts to be represented by their facebook profile pictures. I found it useful on AOSP roms which dont seem to sync these pictures well
I'd try dialer one...gives you a link to you contacts.

Like davidbis mentioned use join contact feature it works completely the same like it was working with stock HTC rom. I've been confused with that as well, but worked fine.

Hi all,
This is my first post here, so please bear with me. I'm running CM7 stable and tiamat 4.0.1 currently.
I'm have two main problems:
1) Gmail sync. I've tried most of the tips I've seen on this forum and others about clearing the cache, resyncing my Google account and re-installing the app. They all amount to temporary solutions as my phone just doesn't seem to sync with my Gmail account. From what I remember, wasn't there some sort of setting in either "Accounts & Sync" or the actual Gmail app itself that lets the user determine sync frequency?
2) WhatsApp push notifications. I received a message at 12:22AM and did not get a push notification until 7:22AM. I've poked around in the settings as best I could and don't see anything about sync or even push notifications beyond the basic pop-up and style settings.
Aside from Spotify, these apps are the two I use most on my phone. I've searched tirelessly for the past 2 days for a solution to this problem to no avail. Any and all help/recommendations/suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

No, Gmail syncs with push automatically, there is no setting to change this.
As for your problem, it could be one of two things. One, could be a bad signal or 3g outages in your area. How is your signal all day at home/work? Does this same problem happen on wifi? The second possible problem is it's just a problem with your rom/kernal. You could try flashing back to a stock from for a few days and see if it clears up the problem.
My signal has been consistent since rooting.
I haven't tested it out while on WiFi; I'll give it a look when I get to my home network, but if that's the case, is it indicative of a problem I could address that would make my Gmail sync over 3G?
And seeing as how I'm still very new to all of this, is there a specific Stock ROM/Kernel combination that you would recommend in terms of stability/reliability? I tend to get really lost and confused with all the posted ROMs.

Welcome to Android and XDA. :good: Don't forget to glance over the forum rules and always check out the stickies posted in each forum section (they have a thumbtack image next to them and never move from the top section). They contain valuable info for newcomers.
Both your questions are really all about personal preference. No single app's importance is the same to everyone. My advice to you being new to Android and all is to go into Google Play Store and just browse the list of top paid and free apps. This will give you a good idea of what a majority of users are downloading and using the most. Likely there will be numerous apps in there you will find beneficial. Remember one thing though, rooted users have more app options than non-rooted so just keep that in mind. Some apps require root access and will state that in the description. Once you use your device a bit more you will get a feel for what type of tasks you do most often and what apps might make the experience better.
As for contacts, there are different options for this. I would say since most have a Gmail account to access the Play Store, get email, etc. they will use Gmail to auto backup/restore contacts, calendar, tasks between the cloud and the device. I believe Samsung also will back this up for you which, if you have a Samsung account, is native on the S4 already. To give more direction would have to know what you are using on your PC for mail client, how you are using it, etc.
Favorite app is drop box
For backing up I do this. Open contacts> hit menu> hit import/export> then pick any of the export functions.
When restoring for the last step just use the corresponding import function.

After updating the phone to official android 10 my contacts is so weird. There are multiple entries on their own which when checked on Google contacts web is perfectly fine. Also searching for contacts doesn't show the contact for few names. This is a huge bug anyone else facing this?
Yes, me too.
Those entries which has something written in the "Company" field do not show up in search results.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
Oh damn! That's bad. Most of my contacts have company field. They should fix this. For now use the contacts app to search that's still working fine. I figured it's the contacts section in the phone app that's not working properly.
Phone apps couldn't find record from Contacts
Exactly, I'm also infected by this bug.
When I tap my finger on Phone icon and tried to search by typing one-by-one First, Last name; number, address, company, email so on but there is no any record. Again I move my finger on Contacts app and try to find someone by mentioned search terms, Contacts only get the results.
My nokia after update to android 10 have one bug,
so I often restart myself when I'm using it, is there anyone who can help?? Please help me give me answer
