View 10 RepliesI just purchased my new HTC desire and i have a problem : 1) Adding a new contact number to either phone or Google account. Name/surname are saved but the phone number doesn't get saved; so when editing the contact, no phone number appears. Then, when gonig under Phone and typing the letters of the name just added, i can find it in the drop list of "guessed names" with the number right under the name. I want to be able to view my contact and see the phone number from the application People; and that's impossible now because of this problem.

ContentValues values = new ContentValues();
values.put(Phone.RAW_CONTACT_ID,cursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.CONTACT_ID));
String selection = ContactsContract.Contacts.IN_VISIBLE_GROUP + " = '1'";
ContentResolver cr = getContentResolver();
Cursor cursor = cr.query(ContactsContract.Contacts.CONTENT_URI,null, selection, null,ContactsContract.Contacts.DISPLAY_NAME+" COLLATE LOCALIZED ASC");
if (cursor.getCount() > 0) {cursor.moveToPosition(oldcontactid);
contactid = cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts._ID));
values.put(Phone.RAW_CONTACT_ID,cursor.getColumnIndex(Phone.CONTACT_ID));
if (Integer.parseInt(cursor.getString(cursor.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.Contacts.HAS_PHONE_NUMBER))) > 0) {
Cursor pCur = cr.query(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTENT_URI,null,ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.CONTACT_ID +" = ?",new String[]{contactid}, null);while (pCur.moveToNext()) {values.put(Phone.NUMBER,pCur.getString(pCur.getColumnIndex(ContactsContract.CommonDataKinds.Phone.NUMBER)));
values.put(Phone.TYPE, Phone.TYPE_MOBILE);}pCur.close();}}
Uri uri = getContentResolver().insert(Phone.CONTENT_URI, values);
but i get an error:
java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Unknown uri: content://com.android.contacts/data/phones
how would i be able to fix this?
I'm using a Android Wildfire and I used the following code to lookup the contact name of an existing phone number.
private String getContactNameFromNumber(String number) { String[] projection = new String[] { Contacts.Phones.DISPLAY_NAME, Contacts.Phones.NUMBER };
Uri contactUri = Uri.withAppendedPath(Contacts.Phones.CONTENT_FILTER_URL, Uri.encode(number));
Log.d(TAG, contactUri.toString());
// query time
Cursor c = context.getContentResolver().query(contactUri, projection, null, null, null);
// if the query returns 1 or more results
// return the first result
if (c.moveToFirst()) {
String name = c.getString(c.getColumnIndex(Contacts.Phones.DISPLAY_NAME));
Log.d(TAG, name);
return name;
}
// return null if no match was found return null;
}
I am unable to resolve the contact name. The logcat output shows the following
11-14 13:45:35.879: DEBUG/Test(3342): content://contacts/phones/filter/%2B919773653345
I am trying to take a phone number from my call log and edit it to be added to a contact without typing it by hand. On my Sprint Katana, when you clicked on the phone number in the call log, you had the choice to edit or append the number. On my Hero, when I press on the phone number, it calls it? Am I missing a step, or not holding the press long enough? I have searched and read as many as come up under a search, but I can't find any that address it from the call log issue.

2. Anyone has experience cut-off during a conversation? Why?
First off, I have to say this phone is amazing and by far the best handset I've ever had.ight, my problem. I use Outlook contacts at work and had a Windows mobile before this one. The contacts appeared to sync into Desire no problem with HTC Sync and I was using phone with no issues. I then decided to see if I could have mail sent to phone like a Blackberry. I went to 'accounts & sync' and set up my work domain etc. The email side of it works fine. since then I noticed that my contacts in 'People' are normal. When I go to send a text, everything from a contact is listed twice. I use Handcent, but it happens in HTC message app as well. Each contact has 'linked' in top right corner and if i tap it the two contacts for the same person are 'Phone' and 'Exchange'. Any ideas how I can remove one of these?
Is HTC Sync, syncing with Outlook and the Desire sync settings are syncing with the Exchange? Any help on how best to set this up is appreciated. I do want to have Outlook contacts as they are full of notes about customers.
I have name, phone number and E-mail information of a contact. I just want to insert the additional email and phone for the existing contact. My questions are: How to find the contact is already existing or not? How to insert the values on the additional or secondary address option?

I've put the SIM card in the new handset and it seems to have recognized some of the numbers but as far as I can see its only showing one number per contact whereas my W995 let me save a few different numbers for each contact (work, home, mobile etc) - is there any way to get the HTC to recognize this without keying them all in again?
View 27 Replies View RelatedI just got my Desire a few days ago, and so far i am very pleased with it (coming from a Nokia N95 8GB). I do find the contact handling somewhat counter intuitive however. For example , i have some contacts from facebook for which i have no other contacts created, but i need to add additional information (in particular phone numbers). I do not seem to be able to add information to a facebook contact. Do i really need to manually create another contact, then manually give it the same name and then link it to the facebook profile in order to have a place to add the phone number?
View 7 Replies View RelatedSome contacts have different phone numbers. And when I send group SMS, the message is sent to the first number of the contact. So is there a software that can reorganize the position of the phone numbers? So that the mobile numbers are the first in the list.

Whenever i sync a contact to Facebook, for some odd reason it changes the number for that contact. The number i have for the contact matches that of the number on their Facebook account.
I.E. 07890123456 on my phone, 07890123456 on their Facebook account( fake number, don't be silly ).
However, as soon as i sync the account to my contact on my Desire, the number changes to 447890123456.
try to call the contact and says numbers wrong, clearly because its suppose to be +44, not just 44.
have tried to edit number but still says 07890123456, and still wont work when i change it to +447890123456.
Anyone able to help?
I'm faced to a big issue : I can't add datas to an existing contact I'm developing an application which manage contacts, I can add, delete or edit contacts. The creation is ok, because I create all types of datas (even if they are empty) for the contact (this is NOT a good way, I will change this later). So when I want to edit those datas I can find them to the data base (with Datas.CONTENT_URI) 'cause they already exist ! But if I create a new contact with the ANDROID contact application only the fill fatas are created for a contact. When I try to add new phone number for example with my application I get a error Here is my code to try to add phone number. Code...

View 3 Replies View RelatedI met this problem at writing contacts by API for Android 2.0 or greater. Each time I write the same contact which already exist in my account (Google account) I got some part of contact aggregated ok but other did not. For example fields like FN, N, ORG, TITLE always are in one copy but TEL, EMAIL, ADR are added extra so after 2nd writing the same contact I have to copy the same TEL or EMAIL. How to force API engine to not repeat existed data?

View 7 Replies View RelatedA few days ago my fiancee received a text from an email address while I was with her. It had some gibberish and a phone number. She deleted it right after she read it. She has a BlackBerry Tour on Verizon. Today, I got basically the same thing - a message from "CJOHNS235@sprintpcs.com" and the body is "EPPlCARD LLBH alert 521148. call 828-268-**** ". I googled the phone number and apparently it's some guy named Steve in North Carolina. If it was an email I wouldn't be worried, but it came to my phone number. I never give out my cell number for anything.

He gave it to me as a gift and when I tried activating it and putting my number on it, Verizon said that it already has an active business account. I assume this is google's account. I heard that google gives you 30 days free service, but my question is how/can I bypass the 30 days and just put it on my account, or do I have to wait until the 30 days are up to put my own number on it?

I just came from a longtime user and it was pretty easy but now I cannot seem to have the option on this android.
I am using a Galaxy S4 4.2.2 and I cannot seem to do it !!
I was wondering if there is any way (through a tweak or an app) to have my contact's information appear automatically when I receive a call from him/her. For instance, if I receive a call from Joe Smith, the contact card for Joe Smith would pop up with all of his details (address, birthday, notes, etc.).
