HTC Desire : Contacts - Sim Can't Use Foreign Characters / Delete Send Msg Entires?
Aug 12, 2010
first, I'm not big into the whole syncing my FACEBOOK contacts to my phone as it just creates a whole bunch of contacts that i don't want. and i really don't like the way android does contacts do you keep the contacts on your phone or sim card? i noticed my sim gets full but the phone does not. and the sim can't use foreign characters such as � � � which is annoying. do you use MS outlook, gmail contacts or the contacts thing on your PC to edit them? how can i delete some of the SEND MESSAGE entries? there are 4, one for each number but i only need one of them.Sim can't use foreign characters

Is there any way to remove foreign characters just before sending a SMS? I know that some keyboards can do that, but I'm looking for something universal. I want to delete them, because when I use them, one SMS can contain only 70 characters instead of 160.

As of yesterday my predictive text has gone weird. It seems to be making very odd choices of words when I'm typing a text. It also seems to be including some foreign language characters which I think are Turkish. I've checked the language settings and it's definitely set to English. The problem isn't application specific as I've tried both the default messages application but it appears to be specific to the Touch Input keyboard as SwiftKey keyboard appears to be ok. I've tried rebooting but it's the same deal. I prefer the default keyboard so I really don't want to go to another one.

When I put my sim card into my phone when I bought it, it has only displayed around 7 of my 60+ contacts which were stored on my sim. I have tried managing this on HTC Sense, but like everyone else most of the features are not working for me. I do not however have any idea how to delete the contats off my sim or just change settings to make sure my sim contacts are not displayed in my contact list.

Right, here goes. I've got all the contacts I want in my contacts folder. Some of them are linked to their facebook accounts which I like. But when I tap phone, a load of people who I only chat to on Facebook are there despite not being in the contacts folder. So how do I edit what appears under "Phone" Is there away to get rid of all the contacts that Facebook imported in one go? Or a way to edit my phone directory online? I didn't know that when I set up my Facebook account it would import anyone who has a number to my Phonebook!

Samsung Galaxy Nexus. I could send special characters (i.e: �, �, �, �, �, ect) in text messages. Then, it wouldn't anymore. I believe my phone updated to Jelly Bean before it stopped, so it may be connected to that. When I try to send a message with any type of special character in it, the message simply won't send. No matter if I use the messenger than came on the phone, or the one I installed (Handcent). I still get the message just not sending. It'll send once I take the characters out of the message, though. I can normally receive messages containing special characters, but they sometimes it shows up as squares.
Mostly, I want to know if I can fix it. I understand that it may be the update, which I'll have to wait out. Or that it could be the phone itself, which in that case I'd just have to wait till I can upgrade again. It's just very annoying not being able to send accents or special characters. Especially to my Spanish only speaking friends.

Just bought a Desire and synced my Contacts with Outlook but result is not to my satisfaction. I want to start over again.
How do I get rid of all my Contacts (they seem to be called People in Desire-speak) in one fell swoop. I know that I can go into the list and select contacts to delete but there are over 1500 contacts there and I'm not going to spend the next 2 weeks deleting them one by one. There must be some way to select them all and then delete them.
Oh, and I don't want to do a hard reset and spend the next few hours re-entering my other data.

Is it possible to send all contacts in an HTC Desire as business cards to another Bluetooth device (particularly the Bluetooth phone system in a car)?
I've got an older car with a fairly basic Bluetooth system. It won't download the phone's phonebook automatically but I can put it into receive mode and then I need to work out a way to send all my contacts as business cars.

I made a complete arse out of syncing my contacts and would appreciate a bit of help I use my google contacts for all my phone numbers (about 500 numbers) but i have managed to sync with my pc (old out-of-date outlook address book), which (without my meaning to) has populated the "phone" contacts on the desire as well with another 450 contacts - mostly duplicates and old numbers now i can set the view to only show google contacts but i'd prefer not having the 450 dupes there at all so finally my question - is there an easy way to delete all "phone" contacts but leaving my "google contacts" in the phone? ie not doing it individually one by one deleting. most important i want to make sure that whatever i do doesn't delete all my google contacts online mimicing any action i take on the phone

This is my first android phone and im having some problems with the bluetooth. Im trying to send my contacts over bluetooth from my old sony ericsson but it doesnt seem to be going smoothly, i would say its all down to me! Basically i have got the bluetooth on for both phones, the desire is set to be discoverable and i try to send the contacts via bluetooth on the SE. I get the whole passcode and accept the file which i have done, but then it says again about accepting the file. Ive tried it a few times and i have 3 bluetooth icons at the top of my screen now which i imagine are for transferring files which need accepting. Is there anywhere i can to accept them or close them down?

I was actually wondering if the Dev version of the G1 would ever be available with different keyboard layouts...
I'm getting old and my brain isn't flexible enough to switch between keyboard layouts anymore... errr... ok, let's say that the low-to-zero availability of the G1 elsewhere on the planet would make a localized version more than appealing... not only for AZERTY-addicted people like me, but more for the day to day usage beyond the dev tool it is.
I know the G1 is coming out in a few days here (at a big price tag), meaning the keypads and hardware exist, but hyper locked, (sim and bootloader), as a futur dev, and continuous geek, I'd love getting an officially "FRogalized" Dev G1 :-)
Would choosing the kb layout ever be possible in the Android Market checkout?

I searched here and on google and did not find a definite answer.
I'm looking for a way to circumvent AT&T's forced data plans (there's wifi EVERYWHERE!!). As far as I know, AT&T towers can read the IMEI number of the phone you are using. That tells them what phone it is, where you got it, and what version it is. So when AT&T sees that you have your sim card in a smartphone, they send you a text saying, "we slapped a data plan onto your account". However, I think that maybe AT&T can only enforce the data plans on phones sold in the US.
My dad got a Nokia N85 (this is a smartphone, right?) from China and has been using it for at least two year now and he's not getting a forced add-on data plan. It could be because he was using the phone without a data plan before the smartphone+data combo that he's not being charged. We just renewed our contract, but my dad did not get a text about adding data charges, or AT&T will charge him without notification at the end of the month.
Does anyone else have a foreign smartphone in the US on AT&T? Any data charges?

I just got a Samsung vibrant. But one thing that really bugs me is I can not view foreign websites on it. By that I mean say I visit a Indian website with Indian alphabet characters as its font...I can not not actually read it since I get random symbols. But on my old nexus one running 2.2 i could view the page perfectly.
Any suggestions on how to get the vibrant to be able to view the foreign webpages with foreign languages as main type? Is it a 2.2 thing?

I should like to manipulate (copy, delete, rename..) files and folders on PC under Windows, with a script being executed on my smartphone under Android.However, i don't know the correct syntax to use to do this.I use Script Manager with the Samba addon.

net use \192.168.2.x my_password /USER:my_user
copy local_filename \192.168.2.xc$foreign_folder
This DOS script copy a local file on a remote hard disk.
I should like do know how to do this on my Smartphone in a script executed by Script Manager.

My friend just lost his Desire at an airport. The pattern lock is active, but that does nothing but protect the data on the phone - Not SD. The first thing they would do is to switch the phone off and replace the sim.
Now here is my question : Is there an app that will send an sms to a preallocated number if the phone is booted up with a different sim? I know some Samsung phones can do this. But having an app that requires your own sim to be able to find it if stolen is quite pointless.

So I did a factory reset after getting 2.2. I got most of my contacts back thru Facebook and Gmail syncs when I set them up at the beginning. I foolishly "Imported from SD Card" my "Phone" contacts that I exported pre-factory reset thinking it'd just add the ones I didn't have synced with Google or FB. Now I have like 2-3 of the same for each person and sadly, there is NO way to undo this that I can see... unless there is? If I delete ALL contacts, will it automatically restore the ones I sync from Google and Facebook so I can lose all the dups and trips? Any better way to handle this? I can't stand when I type a friend's name in Handcent, I see his/her name and number show up 3 times.

I'm on HTC tattoo, and my contacts are duplicated on the people application. This is strange, as they all say phone contacts (thus aren't sim or google contacts or anything), but on view settings, it says I have 300 or so contacts which is how many I have if they were NOT duplicated. I have tried restarting my phone. For some reason, it shows fine then when it loads fully, the duplicates are back. I also noticed that only contacts synced with Facebook seemed to be duplicated, though not all synced are duplicated. I have attempted deleting one of two of a same contact, but this resulted in the other entry being deleted too.

how to delete ALL the contacts at once in my DX? I accidentally used VZW Backup Assistant vs just synching with GoogleMail, and I have a ton of contacts I didn't want. I figured it would be easiest to just delete everything from the phone, then just run a Gmail sync and be done with it.

Just got the incredible and I LOVE it.However after importing contacts from gmail, there's a lot of junk emails that I'd like to delete, but there's so many that going through one by one and deleting is pretty tedious. Is there a way to delete multiple ones at the same time? Also, when you make a new folder, is there a way to rename that folder?? I can't seen to figure out how to do it.
