HTC Hero :: Phone Adds Facebook Contacts To Unknown Numbers

Aug 30, 2010

Whenever an unknown number texts me, my phone is adding random facebook contacts to those numbers. For example, Orange texted me and it came through as being from this guy who is a friend of a friend who i have on facebook. It adds his name and profile picture to the top of those texts though and it's really annoying. It also started doing it with a second person (totally unrelated to the first), this time for texts from my bank. What i have discovered is that on facebook they both have a line in their info which says 'Mobile Number: " but then no mobile number (shown in the picture below), so i presume they've both put a space there and for some reason my phone has taken this and linked them to these unknown numbers. I've deleted both "Facebook for HTC Sense" sync and "Facebook" sync (not desirable, because i like seeing peoples profile pics and birthdays in my phone contacts), but it still happens. I also tried unlinking the first person from all of the links it had made, but that didn't work either. I have a HTC Hero running 2.1.

Samsung Captivate :: Unknown Numbers Appeared In Contacts List

Aug 21, 2010

Dozens of unknown names and numbers have appeared in my Samsung Captivate's contacts list. The numbers appear to have area codes from my state but with names like Joe Blow Repairman, they must be a fake. My contacts list is sync'ed with Google Gmail but I don't see these numbers on my contacts list when I log into Gmail. Is this a known virus from an App I installed? What should I do?

Android :: Change Incoming Call Screen For Unknown Numbers And Contacts Without Photos?

Sep 21, 2010

Is there any way to change the incoming call screen for unknown numbers and contacts without photos? The little robot (foryo or whatever) is a cute logo.. but it looks like a waving dildo.. Often times I have to answer calls in front of customers, family and friends. It's a little embarrassing having to pull a noisy, illuminated, vibrating green dildo out of my pocket every time I get a phone call.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: Add Phone Numbers To Facebook Synced Contacts?

Nov 26, 2010

I lost most of my contacts on update to 2.1. BUT - there is this facebook sync thing that looks really cool.

I tried this, and now, opening my Phonebook shows all my facebook friends with their facebook profile pic, and number (if they have entered one on facebook). Sweet! Less work for me!

BUT - a lot of my facebook friends do not put their number on their profile, so I need to add the number for these Phonebook contacts. However, there seems to be no way of adding a phone number for them; and these people do not appear when I want to select a contact to send a text to? What is that all about? How do you add phone numbers to contacts that were synced in through facebook, so you can then select them when you want to call or text them?

HTC Hero :: Show Only Contacts With Phone Numbers

Aug 9, 2009

I just installed fatal1ty's hero rom version 1.4 last night on my rogers magic(a version modified for 32a) and I have a couple questions about the different apps. First of all, is there any way to make it show only contacts with phone numbers? Every time I send a message with gmail, that email is automatically added to my contacts but I don't really want to see it there when I'm looking for phone contacts. It makes my list very long. I know I can do this with apps like aContacts but I want to use the HTC contacts app if possible. Second, I was playing some music and then my lock screen wallpaper suddenly decided to change to the album art. I assumed that it was supposed to do this but then after I stopped playing the music it stayed. I then changed the lock screen wallpaper but it did no good. Finally, how do I add words to my dictionary. The keyboard seems identical to the one that I had as a stock rogers magic except the "add word" button has disappeared.

HTC EVO 4G :: Facebook Messages From Contacts Numbers

Jul 4, 2010

I have my Facebook contacts linked to my phone. But when a comment, post, or message is received by my phone it's listed as a number. These messeges are not listed under that contact but they are in the general list of messages received. When i try to save the post/message to my contact it creates a new phone number for that person. For example, when i get notified of a comment my Facebook contact puts up, it is listed as coming from 3266518 ...then 519 and so on instead of being tied to that person. When i try to save it to that person it saves it as an additional phone # for that person. I have notifications setup on Facebook and my contact linked to Facebook. Are these two different things?

HTC Desire :: Facebook Contacts With Numbers Showing

Apr 14, 2010

Just received my Desire and loving it. My only issue so far is that even though I've selected in the People app only to display Google contacts there seems to still be Facebook contacts appearing, albeit only the ones who have entered phone numbers into their Facebook profile. This causes duplicate entries for the same person in messaging apps (default and Handcent) and in the People app it seems to prefer to show the Facebook contact details rather than the Google ones.

General :: App To Only Allow Unknown Numbers?

Feb 22, 2013

My boyfriend just left for Basic Training for the Army, and I should be expecting a call from him soon, and then possibly every Sunday. It could be from his phone, or a phone at the base, I don't know which.

I work weekends so I need to find an app that will only allow incoming calls from my boyfriends number and ALL unknown numbers.

I've been able to find apps to add people to "VIP" lists, but not one that also allows the silencing of my entire contact list and allows Unknown.

(I'm trying to avoid downloading an app and manually going in and silencing everyone.

HTC Hero :: Fix For Facebook Sync With Phone Contacts

Jul 2, 2010

After the update to Android 2.1 on my HTC Hero, like many other people, I had problems syncing my phone contacts to my facebook contacts. The process com.htc.bgp constantly force closed, and no linking could be made or is some cases only a part of the facebook contacts were synced. Different fixes has been suggested by users online but none of them worked. But after a lot of trying, a combination of these fixes finally solved the problem for me. Now all my facebook contacts are available to link to my phone contacts. Here's what I did and what you can try:
1. On your computer, go to Facebook Account Application settings. Remove applications Facebook for Android and HTC Sense. Log out of Facebook.

2. On your phone, remove any all Facebook programs or widgets you might have installed.

3. Go to Settings Accounts and delete your Facebook for HTC Sense account. The settings Background data should be checked and Auto-sync unchecked.

4. Go to Settings Applications Manage applications. Enter each of the following applications and click Clear data:
a. Calender
b. Calender Storage
c. com.htc.socialnetwork.accountmanager
d. com.htc.socialnetwork.provider
e. Facebook for HTC Snese
f. Gmail
g. Gmail Storage
h. My Uploads
i. PC Synchronization

5. Restart your phone.

6. Connect to the internet.

7. Start the Photos program

8. At the bottom there should be a facebook icon. Click it and log in to your facebook account.

9. Let all the contacts download.

10. Go to your contacts (People), and now your old Facebook connections should slowly start to appear, and you should be able to link the contacts to your facebook contacts. It might take a while but have patience!

Perhaps one or a few of these steps are not necessary, but at least its what worked for me and hopefully it will help some of you.

Oct 28, 2010

I hope I can get some help here, I am running android 2.0 update 1 on my HTC Hero and have synced my facebook contacts up with my phone so it's downloaded everyone onto my contact list.

I've got into accounts and sync'd it and it seems to be synced but it isn't downloading the new friends contact details onto my phone.

HTC Hero :: Facebook Numbers And Emails Defaulting As Main Contact Info

Jun 3, 2010

I have an issue that I assume is consistent with all Android 2.1 phones. However, for consistency's sake: I have a HTC Hero.Some of my Contacts who are linked to Facebook have duplicate numbers (because one begins with a '1' and the other does not, or they are separated by '.' instead of '-')Also, some of my contacts list fake or old numbers on Facebook and my phone wants to call them or text those by default. (or sometimes on accident - human error).I wish I could have an option to edit these or mark them as "not shown" on my phone so I don't have to double check which number I am calling, texting or emailing to make sure Im using the right number or email address.The only option I've found is to remove the Facebook link, which is a lame workaround and leads me to forget birthdays.

I've deleted Facebook but I've still got thousands of phone numbers of Facebook users. The strange thing is these numbers are NOT in my contacts, I click "phone" and all the Facebook numbers are there.

How do I delete them ? I've opened the case sensitive menu and options and none of them give me the option to delete. I've tried clearing data from all my Facebook apps.

2. lot less free memory after the update. using taskkiller but still- even after killing all non-system processes i have about 30MBs less memory

3. google maps, footprints, people, peep, stocks, gmail and some others keep opening by themselves, though ive killed the apps with appkiller.

4. so-many-mentioned lag on making calls. also. every-now-and-then while on call it makes another call to the same person and puts active one on hold...

5. does not recocnise some contacts and just shows their numbers when on in or outgoing call.

I've done several reeboots and also some hard resets on the device but still no use.Seriously concidering switching over to rooted ROM...

Android :: Get Phone Numbers Of Contacts

May 24, 2010

I am new to Android and have been working on an app that needs to get all of the user's contact's phone numbers. Apparently the code I have does not work with the 2.1 SDK. So far here is the code I am using:

String[] projection = new String[] { Phone.NUMBER };
Cursor c = managedQuery( Phone.CONTENT_URI, projection, null, null, null );
int colIndex = -1;
try {
colIndex = c.getColumnIndexOrThrow( Phone.NUMBER );
} catch( Exception e ) {
print( e.getMessage() ); }
print( "Column Index = " + colIndex );
//count is equal to 3
for( int i = 0; i < count; i++ ){
try {
print( c.getString( 2 ) ); //the 2 used to be colIndex
} catch ( Exception e ) {
print( e.getMessage() );} }

It seems that no matter what I pass into c.getString() it keeps telling me that I passed in -1. But I even hardcoded the 2, and it says the same thing. Any help would be much appreciated.

Sprint HTC Hero :: Save People Contacts With Multiple Numbers In Address Book?

May 26, 2010

Okay, I don't even know how to search for this question, so I am just going to ask it.

I've only been an Android/HTC Hero user for about a week now, and have a weird thing happening with my Hero. I've probably done something to cause this, but, I can't figure it out.

I have several contacts in my People list, and most of them have multiple phone numbers listed with them. When I choose People, and then say my sister, who has two mobile numbers, a work number and a home number, I get a small detailed card that pretty much fills the screen and allows me to choose a number to call mobile, call home, call work, then it says send message to each number, send email.

But, say when I choose my wife, I can only Call Other, Edit Contact, Delete Contact and Send Contact as vCard.

It didn't used to do this. It used to give me these choices for my wife too. My wife has a home number, a cell number, a truck number, I need to be able to text her cell, etc. Basically, I need the same options for her as I have for my sister.

I have the same issue with many of my contacts. I don't know what happened to cause this. Any help fixing this would be much appreciated. Hopefully, I won't have to do a master reset to do so!

Android :: Transferring Contacts - Phone Numbers Format

Jun 19, 2010

I'm currently a Blackberry 8330 user and will be upgrading to either the Droid X or Droid 2 later this Summer. It will be my first Android phone and I'm looking forward to it! I have one simple question about this transition. I already have a Google account and have all my contacts saved there. I read a post a while back on here that if you don't have your phone numbers formatted in a certain way in your contact list, it may cause issues when transferring them to a new Android phone (multiple entries, missing entries, etc.).

Maybe that wasn't a correct statement, but I wanted to ask the question anyway. Are Android phones picky about phone number formats? For example, should I save them online as xxx-xxx-xxxx or maybe 1-xxx-xxx-xxxx instead? Or should I not save them with any hyphens? I just want a seamless transition of my contacts from my Google account to the new phone without a bunch of re-typing or deleting, etc.
