Just traded in my Blackberry Storm for an Android and am looking for a Contact Manager app that allows me to sort by last name (by Company would be nice, too). let's not get into religious discussions as to whether the Google implementation is better or not.

Is there any way to display contact picker that has both number and contact name? Now I'm calling picker: startActivityForResult(new Intent Intent.ACTION_PICK,Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_URI),1);
But in a result I get only Contact names without visible numbers. To make things worse, if one contact has two numbers it occurs twice.

I have a contact ID, how do I get the group the contact is assigned to? I am sure it is something to do with the Contacts.Groups class but I cannot figure it out.

When using the smart search function of the dialer or searching in contacts my Magic only searches numbers and names, not company names.I have hundreds of contacts that are just companies (airlines, couriers, etc. etc.) with no specific contacts at that company.Those contacts are effectively inaccessible on my phone now as the only way to find them is to scroll through the hundreds of blank contacts to find what I am looking for.When I synchronized contacts with my HTC magic, any contact with a company name, but nothing in the 'Name' field had the word 'unnamed' added to the name field.The only work around I can see is to use Outlook to manually add the company name to each of these contacts and then change the 'File As' field to read the company name.

I have downloaded the new updated version (complete with adverts)of Handcent to try it out as I hearing such glowing comments on it. When I open the programme I see all the threads but all I have is the mobile numbers and No Contact names associated with them.
Could someone kindly tell me what I have to do to get the names up please. I have been looking through the settings but cant see anything, do I need to make sure the stock messaging app is unticked first to get the names to appear?

I have an android 2.1 (Samsung I5700 Spica). Does android use only "google contact" for manage all contacts? Even when I manually add contact on the top it says "Google contact from MyEmailId@gmail.com". The reason for asking is if you select "Menu">"Display Options">select "MyEmailId@gmail.com" you can select "System Group" How do I add certain contact to one of these groups, by default if I manually create a contact it goes and sits in "System Group: My Contacts". Is there an option where one can add contact not get stored under google contact?

Is there a way that every time I turn on the contacts app it goes straight into one of the groups I've created, say "friends"? Right now every time I open the contacts app it shows all the contacts in my phone. I want to go to my "friends" group instead. Is that possible? Or do I need another app?

After linking all my contacts between previous phone, Google and facebook i go to the linked section of a contact and choose which display name I want to use then hit save. Eventually the phone switches the name back to whatever it feels like. Is anybody else experiencing this issue?

My X10 changes the contact names itself, e.g. it puts the name of a contact on another and thus creates a lot of confusion when a name shows on screen during an incoming call and when I pick it up, there is someone else on the other side.

Just got a HTC Desire. Is it possible to change the order of the contacts name in "People"?I'd prefer to have first name and then last name instead of last name and then first name.

Ok, so, when I go to my contacts, I have a couple names like (ex.) Bob A. I decided to change it to my linked contact from Facebook so that it's Bob Apple. So I save every name and back out. When I turn off my phone later that night, than turn it on the next morning, the contacts have gone back to their original state (like Bob A.)

Does anybody know how to set the names that show up in your contact list? For some reason, a bunch of my contacts are showing up as their Twitter names, and I'd rather have it be their real name, which I have listed under their Google accounts (for example, GreenMike vs. Mike Green). I even unlinked my Twitter account, but the names stayed the same. Similarly, is there a way to set it so the contact pictures are Google account pictures by default?

I thought I had read something about this before, but now I can't put my finger on it. Is the initial synch between Gmail contacts and Facebook using e-mail addresses or contact names? In other words, if I'm using only first names for some contacts will it find their Facebook profiles or will I have to change the contact names to full names? My Incredible is arriving today (can't wait) and just want to know if I need to update my contacts.

My bro just updated to 2.3.4 on his Atrix, same as me. Now when he gets a call or text, it only shows the number and not the name. These are regular contacts already set up in his contacts list. I haven't been able to figure it out as it works fine on mine.

Some of my gmail contacts have different names than on their facebook accounts. For example, "Jacob Chan" might be "Jake C" on Facebook.
After facebook syncing on ICS, they now appear as two contacts in the People app. Is there a way to work around this, aside from changing my gmail contact name?
I'm on Pete Alfonso's Nexus S ROM and Ezekeel's Glados 2.6 CFS kernel.

I have them filtered on the Handset so that only those marked as Friends or Family under Gmail contacts are shown. I can't help this as otherwise I'd have well over 1000 contacts to scroll through on my phone.
My issue is that should I add a contact on my phone it doesn't appear. This is obviously because when it's created it has no group membership. It still resolves against SMS etc but is not displayed in the Contacts list. I can (when near a computer) quickly jump onto gmail, manage contacts and put the person into the right group but ideally I'd like to be able to do this on the handset.
Is there any way at all of editing Google Contact Group membership on the handset? I certainly can't find the option if it exists. Alternatively is it possible to change it so when the contact is create on the handset that it automatically saves as a 'Friend'.

My HTC Hero was delivered today and I am having problems with my contact list. I have 500 plus names and numbers that have been transferred from outlook to the hero and they have come over in the same groups as in outlook but I need more than that. On my windows based palm top (that I am hoping to replace with the hero) I can search for either a persons name or the name of the company they work for.
About 400 of my contacts are work related and I might only use them once or twice a year and without being able to search for a company name I can not find them. It is further complicated because in a lot of cases a company name might have 3 or 4 different people under it. Does anyone know of a contacts app or upgrade that would give me the functionality that I am looking for?

1. Is it possible to rename photos on the X10?I suppose it would be possible to attach the phone to the computer and rename them on there, but is there any way of doing it from the phoine itself?
2.Is it possible to assign a contact name to a photo that has been downloaded to the phone?For example, if I happened to download a few pictures of Zhang Ziyi, can I create her as a contact and get the phone to recognise the pictures as being of her?I don;t see a way of doing it.The photos are clear shots that include her face.Again, perhaps I have to do it through the computer?

I was wondering how I can place a contact that was synced to my phone through facebook into a group.When I click these contacts the only options available are "All" "Link" and "Set Speed Dial".I have a large number of contacts from facebook (close to 500) and I want to separate those people into groups, for example: college, favorites, family, etc.I've searched the forum and can't seem to find the answer so if it has been asked before I apologize.
