Duplicate contacts in Call history; How to delete/fix them?

I found it very annyoing; so please someone help:
First of all: in call history; it alway sets to all calls; that means showing missed/incoming/outgoing everything; Even if you put filter to missed calls only; next time you open history; it again reverts back to All calls filter; So QUES IS: how do you make HTC remember call history filter which you set up earlier (like show call history only)
2ND QUES:
even dumbest fone of Moto's shows this; when you call xyz from your ph.book, and called again, its shows 1 entry in call history (not every time you call it), but in HTC it shows 10 entry if you try to call 1 number and it's busy or not connecting; so how do i get rid of these duplications?
Help appericiated; ques sounds dumb but i'm rookie using PPC 1st time in life
same issues as above is there a fix? also is there a way to save text messages or lock them?

Need help- just bought an X1

Sorry but I searched and cannot find answers-
A few questions:
I have tmobile in the usa (oregon) with a black sony x1i
1) Issue- I am coming from a Sam BJ2- I use exch server for email, contacts, etc. When I set up my X1 with my exchange info- everything worked nicely-
But some of my contacts that are smsing me do not show their contact name only the #. I think it might be cause some have the 1 (XXX) and some dont have the 1. How can I fix this as I have 600 contacts?? Please help
I noticed that the phone wont dial a # without the 1 in front of it-
2) on my BJ2 - when I wanted to call, email or text someone- I would start typing their name and I would choose from the list as I am typing. I cant do that with the xperia- typing doesnt do anything- How do people quickly search for a contact???
3) Is there a seperate box that shows on the home screen when SMS's come in as opposed to 1 message box with a red #? I would like to see if its an email or sms.
Thx in advance
In regards to 1, have you tried selecting "United States" in the regional settings?
Yes I set it to USA english-
Also where is the battery indicator on the home screen??
Thx
1) thats a calling ID setting... there is nothing you can do about it except you go change the contact number and add or remove the 1 before the area code... the phone is just trying to match whatever the caller ID is to your contact list... if it is not the same it wont display it.... I have had that problem on my BJ2 too and I had to change all those contacts as well
2) I can do so by sliding out the keyboard and start typing the name and call... not sure if you are doing the samething or you are trying to get the soft keyboard out to type...
3) I have a sms or email notification showing up on the bottom of the screen whenever I receive them.... otherwise the sonyericsson panel have a option to display them I think

When I get phone calls from my contacts, the names aren't displayed.

Just switched my VZW G5 from VZ to ATT (unlocked, non dev)
I'm noticing my synced google contacts don't show up when I get a call.
When I call them, it works, the phone app shows their name and number, but when they call me, I just see the number even though that number is in my contact list.
I have noticed when I call out, the contact number is displayed with the country code ( 1 ) and the 1 isnt there when I get a call. Could that be it?

I believe that is your problem. I had to change my numbers to 9 digit instead of 6. (area code) 123-4567 if any are not the 9 digit format they only show up as a number with no name.
All my numbers stored have area codes. Another weird issue: when i call people back from the recents tab of the phone app, i get a busy signal or an error for making an international call, when its my area code.. I look at the number dialed and its just the same number with a space between the first and second digit, altering the number.
Bump
Same issues here - Verizon S6 (G920V) on AT&T, ever find a solution?

[Q] Lollipop - Phone apk show only contact name

Hi, I recently updated my Note 3 (SM-N900W8) to lollipop and since then when I use the Phone apk to call or recive a call, I can't see the name of my contact, I only see the Phone number.
I re-sync my contacts and didn't work.
I only add a contact to the Phone and didn't work.
Any ideas?

T-Mobile Digits == CRAP?

Brief Horror Story
1. Galaxy S10+ with singe line account
2. Dear T-Mobile, please add a line. Done.
3. Discover that new line is serviced by some crappy "app" called DIGITS. Dialer totally different behaviour than the built-in. Considerable downgrade
4. Digits line keeps failing. Finally won't make/take calls. Text messages go nowhere.
5. T-mobile engineer spends 4 hours and many calls to fix. Reboot phone "fixes" temporarily.
6. I decide to move DIGITS line for primary and convert original line to DIGITS.
7. Another few hours hacking and trying including changing out SIM card plus several reboots. Now it works.
Question: WHY can't the native dialer and text message application service a second line? DIGITS is unreliable garbage.
Is there a third-party alternative?
T-Mobile has some real problems if they allow software like DIGITS to support their customers!
