Whenever I try to use Google Now to send a text or make a phone call I just get "contact not found" screen. It worked fine earlier and then my phone did an update today and it no longer seems to work. It will find contacts from my gmail account but does not find any of the contacts on my phone.

I have a friend call David with phone number 11223344. I cannot see his phone from contact list. But when i dial his number, I can see his name when i type 1122. But when David calls me, as it is not in contact list, the phone only display 11223344 as incoming call, rather than his name. My phone is LG P990.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm new to forums, here is my question: I recently got an HTC Desire. I was looking through my calender and saw a birthday of some guy that was synced to my calender through facebook. I couldn't recognise the name so I looked up my facebook friend list and couldn't find this guy listed. I also searched his name on facebook and google and still no luck.
I have established that it is coming from facebook since when I disable the facebook calender, the contact goes away but I am now getting a bit worried since I have some unknown person who is untracable linked to me in some way.
Does anyone have any idea what is happening? and if so how to fix it? and if not able to fix it, how concerned should I be?
I discovered this new feature today... well, actually I should give credit to my son, who got his hero about 3 weeks ago for finding this.
Pressing on the contact's picture in the people list pops a little menu that allows you to easily choose whether to call or text them. It even provides the Handcent icon if you are using that as your main messaging app!
Just thought I would share this finding, in case I wasn't the only one who didn't know about it!
When 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.
View 8 Replies View RelatedI have done a search for this and I have not found answer. I have inadvertently created some of my contacts as phone contacts instead of google contacts. The main negative of this is that I can not sync these contacts. Does anyone know of way to change the contact type? My phone is rooted if that makes a difference.In another thread relating to this someone mentioned an app that fixes this but I could not find it. Does anyone know of the app?

After entering source and destination information via google maps, is there a way to forward the resulting directions whether it be via text, email, or otherwise to another person. Alternatively, is there a way to forward basic GPS location info via the same methods. I have not been able to find this option via HTC Footprints either.

Quote:
My Contacts are taking up >30MB. When I view my contacts I see the people I expect to see (a couple hundred at most). But when I go to add a contact from the Call Log and I specify "add to existing contact" I get a massive list that appears to be everyone from my Google circles (probably a few thousand).
I tried clearing all data from the Google+ app, then doing same with my contacts in hopes it would rebuild without the Google+ contacts, but they are still there...and the space used is still >30MB.
How Android populates the Contacts database, and how I can limit it to JUST my actual contacts?
I know that the next kitkat update makes galaxy s4 users from Verizon use Google hangouts. So in preparation of this coming, is there anyway to sync hangouts with Facebook contacts? My biggest issue is that I want the Facebook pictures of the person I am talking to to show up in hangouts similar to how it does/did in the text messaging app.
View 5 Replies View RelatedI've got a smartphone running Jelly Bean. As I like the gmail contact photos very much, I was happy that one new feature of Jelly Bean is the fact that the contact photos are synced with Google servers in hi-res (720x720). I spent a good deal of time replacing the awful downsized pictures with new hi-res pictures. They sync in 720px, everything fine, so far.
Where my problem begins: Within the next days I expect the arrival of my new tablet. It's a low budget one (Arnova 10b G3) which runs Ice Cream Sandwich and which maybe won't ever get a Jelly Bean firmware.
I'm in a conflict now: On the one hand, I'd like to use the tablet with my Google account and not create a dummy account or something like that. This would spoil much of the usability of the account. On the other hand, I don't want to destroy my hi-res contact pics because one Google sync under ICS would downsize them forever and I guess they would again sync downsized to my Jelly Bean phone.
Is there maybe a hack that prevents Google from syncing the contact pictures? In this case, I could use the Google account on the ICS tablet just without contact pics. The downsized pics are rubbish anyways if one's display has a proper resolution.
Or, can one prevent Google from syncing the contacts after setting up the account? I know that the contact sync can be unchecked in the settings but as far as I know, that doesn't prevent the initial sync.
I recently returned to android. I was hoping this issue with google voice had been worked out, especially as I am about to do a full convert/port to google voice.
So the same contact will text me but often times google voice will create multiple threads making it very annoying to sift through them on the Voice SMS Inbox. It does this also on my browser window. Its not 100% of the time, but almost seems like if its a text on another day, another thread is made. Is there a way to fix this or merge the threads under the same contact?
I am Using Sony Xperia Mini on Android 4.2.2. The Problem is Google Calendar Doesnt Show the Birthday Events Which i have added in Contact Details. It shows only if add manualy any event. I have ticked all the options under Account Sync. Still the Problem Persists. And Strangely This same problem Occured even in GB,IC,JB even CM too.

I want change rom stock or custom rom Android 4.x.x JB or ICS. GPS is battery power less. I need change rom firmware.
After getting the 4.0.4 update pushed from Verizon, my Motorola Bionic has disappeared from adb radar. terminal command "adb devices" returns nothing under list of devices attached, when its usb connected. (I've updated my android sdks. to latest platform tools).
I have tried each of the 3 usb settings 4.0.4 offers (Mass Storage, Media Device(MTP) and Camera (PTP), with debugging both on and off. Still no joy. I have killed and started adb server and rebooted both the macbook pro and the bionic. BTW - the original android os it started with had a "Charge Only" mode, which was the usb connection type that adb connection had previously required, but that's gone from this 4.0.4 upgrade for some reason.
I have searched numerous forums and threads. Those forums that did have posts about adb not finding connected device, mostly suggested rebooting and updated sdks. A couple suggested editing some config files, but I couldn't locate those.
I'm running osx lion 10.7.5 on a MacBook Pro. I can provide phone system info if necessary. I've copied below the info I've gathered about the usb port the device is connected to from USB Prober.
Using usb prober the device appears as "Composit device: "XT875" in the bus probe. Port Info shows as: 0x1018, not captive, external device, connected, enabled. Device Descriptor shows as:
Descriptor Version Number: 0x0200
Device Class: 0 (Composite)
Device Subclass: 0
Device Protocol: 0
Device MaxPacketSize: 64

I've already installed the drivers and my phone is recognized in the device manager. I already set my phone to usb debugging. I opened the command prompt in windows 7, then i followed the instructions, then i typed "adb devices" and it flashed "List of devices attached" only. when i typed "adb shell", it says "error: device not found".
How can I root my phone successfully?
My current software version is "V08b" and i'm sick of it because its full of bugs.
I tried to update my software using LGMobile Support Tool..it dectects my phone as LGP690 but it says that i have the latest version. But when i clicked "supporting models", it says that p690 is updateable to V10b..
I have a problem with the new ROM I have installed. I had CM 10 Android 4.1 until I saw what paranoid android 3.1.5 can do like resizing applications, and I wanted to install it. So i did, but there seems to be a problem: the applications that I moved to SD card are not showing in the app drawer. Weren't those applications supposed to remain on the sd card after I have restored to factory settings, wiped cache and dalvik cache and installed the new ROM? The weird thing is that they don't appear in sdcard1/data/app neither. I want to see where the applications that i moved to sd card are located....
the battery drains faster...Is there an application to track the battery usage just to make a comparision with the CM 10.1 ?
I am having this error "device not found" when I try to push a file. It's not a driver problem, it's not a USB connection problem. ADB commands work until the point where I try to push the file. Then I see "device not found".
I might be doing something wrong, I'm pretty new at this stuff. Or it might be just that the root access to my device has problems.
Here's what I do:
Code:
c:adb>adb devices
List of devices attached
3556*********09 device
c:adb>adb shell
shell@android:/ $ su
su

I've also tried to push "build.prop" directly from my computer but get the same error.
I must mention that - strangely (to me at least) - after mounting /system as RW, I check the permissions using ES File Explorer's Root Explorer, they are shown as RW, I try to edit "build.prop" directly and I still get "cannot save file".
When I try to change permissions of the file using Total Commander -- to -rw-rw-rw -- I manage to do this ("Operation successful") but I am still unable to edit the file or overwrite it.

View 1 Replies View Related I have downloaded and installed every necessary component in order to start working with Android. The issue I am having is that in Command Prompt, anything I type in related to the Android SDK (for example: adb, or even just android) comes back with "Java was not found in your path". Now, I have changed all my PATH variables under "User" to the EXACT locations of where these folders are, but no dice. It keeps telling me to go and edit my PATH variables. Even running SDK Setup, gives me the same error, and tells me to add where Java was found (even though I have!).
I am starting to get really fed up with this, because Eclipse can't find the "jre" folder inside the Java JDK, either (that is, of course, until I copy the entire jre folder inside of the eclipse folder, or put eclipse inside of the JDK folder)...
I just know it shouldn't have to be this tedious to set everything up.
I am running Java JDK 1.6.0_21 (x64), Eclipse Helios (3.6) IDE for Java EE Dev., Android SDK Revision 6, all on Windows 7 Ultimate x64.
Something to note: I have not encountered any problems with Eclipse Helios and the ADT plugin as stated on the Android Developers website. I can use Eclipse and the SDK to create and run the"Hello, Android!" application on the emulators without issues. I just want to be able to run everything from the command prompt, too. Now, if I can only get my phone to be recognized after I get this resolved.

View 1 Replies View RelatedHave a dumb question: what exactly is the difference between the "Phone" contacts and the "Google" contacts? Is it just that one is saved and synced with Gmail and the other resides on the phone? Other than the fact that the Google contacts sync with Gmail and you have a nice "cloud" backup always in place, is there a BENEFIT to using one vs. the other?
