When i first got the phone, i opened up facebook. It updated my contacts with everything on there. Then i went to text my friend and accidentally deleted her from my contact list. I put her number back in but it won't update from facebook or show up when i want to text her. Can someone help me out?
View 2 Replies View RelatedAfter the update I have noticed several changes, 90% have been welcomed & appreciated.Next thing I know I go to make a call from my contact list and there are zero contacts the really weird part is, if I am texting and filling out the to-whom line, it will automatically populate contacts as if my contact list never vanished it may have been coincidental that this took place the day of the update, but that's where u guys come in.let me know if u have had the same issue.

View 2 Replies View RelatedJust updated the Eris to v2.1. I'm having trouble syncing my Contacts. Here are the highlights
Some contacts from Gmail successfully imported to the phone
Many still have not, including anyone who was a "favorite"
Some of the email address of my "favorites" have transferred over, but none of their phone numbers have
I let the sync go over night and the problem persisted
If i check it in setting, the sync will periodically say "there's a problem with the sync, check back shortly" but continue to attempt to sync
My battery drained today because the phone continued to try and sync unsuccessfully
Any tips on how to solve this problem?
I did the 2.1 droid Eris update, and found a few issues.
One might just be me, but I had my droid set the way I wanted it to be before the update, and now I have no clue how to get back to my original settings. So, trying not to sound like a dumbass here.
1. When I turn the phone off and then back on, my messages widgets goes away from the screen I have it on. All that shows up is a little folder that I have NOTHING IN. And it's really starting to bug me, 'cause I love that little widget where I can just cycle through the messages.
Do I have to lock just that screen? It's the only widget affected when the phone goes on and off.
2. None of my contacts got erased; however, I noticed that my one primary is set to text, but when I go to edit the profile, it's set to call. This one I might just leave alone, but none of the ringtones that I have set for them are working. I saw a thread earlier about the People thing, but I'm not sure if I fixed this. And how would I go about changing the primary method of contact (text/call) or is set permanently like that?
Prolly a dumb question but I can't figure out how to update an existing contact using the call history. In the call history window I can press and hold on a call. This brings up the "save to contacts" option. Not sure what to do after that.

UpdateContactUri is the uri of existing contact with id 4.
It is working on emulator 1.6 but not on 2.1.
One more thing i need to ask how can i access individual fields of Name(first, middle, last) and Address(Street, city, state, zip, country) in 2.1
I just got an update 2 days ago. Now when I go to phone list and touch the contact, it only shows phone and message. The info or edit information icon is gone. I can't figure out how to get to that information to edit the information or view it. Does anyone have any idea?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI am learning android. I am trying to upadate contact number pro grammatically. Could anyone help me please how can I do that.My effort is: String lNumber = pCur.getString( pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)); Content Values values = new Content Values(); Uri lPhoneUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER);values.put(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER, "45323333"));
getContentResover().update(lPhoneUri, values, ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER+"=?", new String[] { lNumber });
I am currently unable to update an existing contact record's phone number. I am able to insert a new phone number to an existing contact record but unable to delete or modify existing phone number records of a contact. Is there a way to either: - delete an existing phone number from a contact record. or - update an existing phone number of a contact record.
The sample code is as shown below:
To delete existing phone numbers of a contact record: row = getContentResolver().delete(ContentUris.withAppendedId (Phones.CONTENT_URI, uid),null,null);
Log.v(TAG,"row =" + row);
The row value is always 0 even if phone numbers are present. Thus, the deletion does not take place. To update a phone number:
Uri PersonUri = ContentUris.withAppendedId(People.CONTENT_URI, uid);
Uri PhoneUri = Uri.withAppendedPath (PersonUri,People.Phones.CONTENT_DIRECTORY);
ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(Phones.NUMBER,"1234567890");
values.put(Phones.TYPE,1);
row = getContentResolver().update(PhoneUri,values, null, null);
This throws a unsupported Operation exception.
I can create new contact with Intent by passing info as extra data with putExtra, is it possible to create Intent with info and if contact is already in phonebook it will be update with new info?
View 1 Replies View RelatedI'm developping an application in Android 1.6 (and can't use 2.0 or older).
I add a new contact on my phone as following code...
After that, I add phone numbers in the same way. It works as I am able to view the new added contact with following code :
Intent intent = new Intent(Intent.ACTION_VIEW, contactUri);
this.startActivity(intent);
My problem is that, after adding and viewing the new contact, I can't see it in Contacts application unless I synchronized all my contacts (I also did a search with the contact's name, found it, nevertheless it wasn't added in contacts list).
How can I programmatically update the contacts in order to immediately have my new contact added in Contacts application?
Anyone else have this issue or know a fix? Contact pictures show in contact details and in the contacts app, but not in the dial or when I get a call. Contact management is the only thing I don't like about my X.
View 2 Replies View RelatedWhen adding new contacts to the droid x, it added it as both a goggle contact and phone contact. (i only have one goggle account setup). I went into contacts -> menu -> more -> settings. I am UNABLE to check/unchecked the "Phone Contacts" (it is always checked). The goggle one i am able to check/unchecked. WHY and HOW can i toggle the phone contact? Also, backup assistant only takes PHONE contacts and not GOOGLE contacts...while g mail contact sync only takes goggle contacts and NOT PHONE contacts. How can one change phone contact to goggle contact? (i have seen posts all over but no answers...and just replies saying "i have the same problem") I am trying NOT to have two (2) different types of contacts. PHONE and GOOGLE. I just want goggle contacts ( or phone contacts. so i can at least use verizon's backup assistant.

I'm loving my phone, and I love how it pulls photos and contacts from Facebook, Gmail, etc.However, A lot of my friends are already changing their pictures, and the phone isn't updating them on my favorites, or in my actual phonebook/contact list. I know how to manually set the picture, but I want it to re-pull new photos from Facebook. Any ideas?

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm not sure if anyone has already figured this out but I just did it by accident a few minutes ago. If your facebook contact has changed their picture and you want to update it on your phone, go to People > Online Directory > Facebook > Click refresh. It updates everyones pictures so it may take a while if you have a lot of contacts.
View 35 Replies View RelatedI don't have the plug in for linking FB to the contacts. I used to have it on 1.6 and linked some contact with FB from the timescape app. Also I cannot modify those contact that already have the link to FB. In the contact when I click edit I get this message "Timescape plug in manager contact information is not editable on this device". Does anybody have a solution for this or have the same message in the contacts? I tried to restore the software from scratch but it did not solve the problem.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI've got and Xperica Arc S and recently upgraded to ICS (official update) and everything's great, except for one thing. The contact photos in Handcent SMS are gone. I've been looking at the contacts list and the photos appear in every single contact there, but not in Handcent.
What I've realized is that in Handcent SMS now only appear the photos of the contacts which have a photo on their gmail account, whereas in Gingerbread it would show the photo of every contact that had any photo associated with it (Facebook, custom, another account, etc..)
I would really like to see the photos in Handcent and this is really bugging me!
Hows best to update the photo's linked to facebook in contacts? the sync doesnt do this....
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have messages with the name of the contact, and when I select 'add recipient' the phonebook already contains the contact. Yet when I then go to my phonebook after exiting 'add recipient' the contact list is empty. I don't really understand what is going on with this, can anyone help?
P.s. this only happened after the new update, I restored everything using backup and restore and they seem to be on the phone but not visible.
I have synched a lot of my contacts with their Facebook accounts, but for a couple of them I have chosen custom pictures to appear in the phonebook. Whenever I connect to the Internet, the custom pics gets replaced by their current Facebook profile pictures. Is there any way to disable this without completely removing the Facebook synch?

View 2 Replies View RelatedEarlier in 1.6 after I look for a contact and view it and press back. It used to come to that position itself but now whenever I press back after viewing a contact, it goes back to the initial position of contacts (i.e. the contacts starting with letter A).
Example in 2.1, if I view a contact (say named "xyz") and press back, it takes me to the starting list of contacts but no such problem was there in 1.6 version. That is after I press back, it took me to the same list of contacts I was viewing earlier (in this case xyz,xy** etc.)
