contacts>menu>display options>only contacts with phones.
i kid you not i dont have that option. when i hit contacts on the launcher i simply dont have menu as a choice. instead all i have is add contact search display group manage accounts settings and more which takes me to share vcards and import/ export.
what is going on? what am i not getting here?

Menu as in the menu button. Bottom left corner of your phone. Anyways it might be slightly different on stock rom as I'm on cm7. I know its there though, you will find it I have faith in you.

cheers mate for your faith but it is misplaced. there simply isnt an aption on this phone i have. guess it is just one more reason to get it rooted unlocked and flashed with cm7.
oh by the way on a completely separate note... i did read in another thread that someone else did exactly the same thing i did and stick there thumb in the speaker grill thinking it was the power button!!!! lmao!!! what bad design. it is my only gripe with this phone the shocking build quality and it is even more surprising cos this was meant to be there flagship model at the time.
I don't have that option either, so you aren't the only one. I am on stock froyo, on Atrix in Europe

so i switched to a rom without htc messaging and everything is great but the only thing i miss from that is when you hit new message and add recipient you could go into the list and check off people to send to.
in standard you have to add each person individually.
anyone know of an app to match that functionality? it was real handy
yea i know one, its called HTC messaging!
if htc messaging could handle lots of texts n not make me have to empty my inbox daily then id use it
hehe.can't complain myself, never had any problems, but I rarely get more than 30 or so txts built up before I hard reset.
yea for those of us doin like 200 a day its just about the worst software ever. got to the point of soft resets hourly
Um I dont know if this is the same thing you guys are talking about, but when you want to type a new msg and you have the box to type in names, to the right you should have a pawn icon, if you tab the pawn icon you can select multiple contacts and dont have to type their names to auto complete.
Hope that was what you guys were talking about.
the OP isnt using the htc messaging which is what you are using and refering to
found a program called group sms in omarket which is rather old but works.
only issue is when you select a group to send to everyone in the group is pre checked so i have to untick everyone i dont want it sent to. if there was an option for that itd be perfect

heh Sorry, it was like 5am when I was reading that. My Apologies.
Ive downloaded and use Handcent and yes it is nice. The reason I looked for and started using it was because of the lack of add recipient option when composing a new message in the stock app that is included. I feel like Im just missing how to do this in the stock app. Is it possible? It seems like it would be the most basic option but I can't seem to figure out how.

Normally,in the stcok app, after you put the name of the recipient, you just have to tap again inside the recipient box to add another one. else if you put phone number instead of a contact in the phonebook, then you just have to put a comma between the two phone number.
You misunderstood. The idea is that I don't want to have to type in their name. I want to be able to choose from my list of contacts in my phonebook.
I think the only options now are separating recipients with commas or FORWARD the message to another recipient after you have sent it out. I prefer the latter since it doesn't create a whole new thread.
lol is no one actually reading the question???
I haven't come across a way to add recipients, I always just type the 1st 2 letters and add them from that, IMO its easier than scrolling through a list of a few hundred people
Open contact list. Long press contact then select send message. It then opens messaging app.

Seeing as everyone is misunderstanding you're request I will give you the short answer.. No.
You can't select multiple recipients from a list in the stock app, unlike handscent, where you can.

Sorry... where in the question does it mention multiple recipients? I think i did answer the question!

It's on the tip of my tongue, but I forgot how to make the phone recognize who I am. I'm in my contacts list, but how do I make the phone realize that that contact is me? For example, in Messaging, the threads boil down to who you're talking to, ex, Allison would be who I am texting, but for my bubble it says 'me', and a place for a picture. I think if I made the phone realize that I was that contact in my phone, pictures would appear where they need be and certain info relating to me would also appear when needed. Make sense? So basically I just want to know how to make that possible (I know how I just forgot and it's bugging me).

Just add yourself to your contacts with your full name, phone number, e-mail address, and picture. This should do it.

Well that's the thing... I am in there as myself, picture, email, phone number, emails, address, everything essentially, but for some reason my picture doesn't show up in the messaging app, and I don't think my phone knows it's me.
But it has to know it's me, because of my account sign in through google... Hmmm.
Click..menu..settings..about phone
I bet your "my phone number" shows as unknown?
Need to put your SIM into another mobile that allows you to edit the number.

Hello everyone I have tried searching for this but cant not find it. the one link that I did find returned a dead page.
What I am asking today is in reguards to CyanogenMod 7 and messaging. I text a lot and find it annoying that the "Me" in messages does not have my picture in it. Before I went from stock everything to CM7 I had the ability to edit me contact card and this allowed my pic to display for my messages sent. But now I can not find out how to do. I was told to do Settings > Call Settings > Additional Settings > My Phone Number but I do not see additional settings.
While it is not a big thing it does annoy me as my OCD kicks in and I see received pics of the contact but an android bot as my pic. Can anyone help me out with this.
BTW here was the dead thread link

I'm not sure if this is the right way or what, but it's pretty easy. Just create a new contact using your own phone number. Name the contact 'Me'. Then select a picture of yourself to set as the photo for the 'Me' contact. Save your changes. Your picture should now appear in the text mesaging threads as the Me contact.

I will try this to see if it will work, but that will last till my OCD kicks in when I try to make my contacts look better LOL.
Will post back if it does/does not work.
Edit- Thanks k2buckley that did it. Appreciate the help with that. But having "Me" in my list will bug me in a bit I am sure. Stupid OCD LOL

It should work. I use that method on every AOSP rom I've ever used, because I also hate seeing the blank spot on the 'me' contact. Should work no problem.

My text has my gmail picture....I think I uploaded it to latitude once and it got associated with gmail.
Anyhow, you should be able to add a contact pic to your gmail and it will show up.
My phone also has the same picture in my contacts where I have put all my information for myself. I didn't associate it with this contact, so it must be done through Gmail.

Hey guys, quick question!
My contacts are showing up in the contacts bit but when I get phonecalls and messages I just see numbers. Even though I have the contacts saved. Any ideas what it may be?
I'm on X note 5.1 and have lots of xposed settings installed, non of which modify the dialer or contact storage.

Do you have call display as part of your cell package? I believe you need that service activated in order for you to see incoming contact info.
If you do have that service, maybe call display is turned off in your options?

I think I know the problem ur having, so I'm gonna attempt to help. This happened to me and for the life of me couldn't figure out the solution. But then after a few minutes I got it. What u wanna do is open up ur contacts then hit the menu button and choose "contacts to display". Once that page pops up pick the one that says "device". Now back out to ur contacts again, then pick a contact and insert whatever may be missing. For me it was all the pictures. So I had to apply all my pictures over again. I think this is what is going on with ur contacts. Once ur done adding pictures go to ur messages or ask someone to call and u should now see all their info including pics. I hope I was able to help u. If I was all the way off base, sorry for post.

That's not standard in the USA? -EDIT Just seen original poster is in the UK - Caller ID is standard here if you have their number stored.

Ahh, see, depending on what package you have here, it's an extra feature you need to pay for, so thought it might be something to consider. I have no idea how cell packages are structured outside my local carriers.
