I have my hero and use googlesync to sync all my contacts and calendar etc. I've had no problems until recently where I seam to be getting dupliucates created for no reason, so of the duplicates are just the name fields....

Alright, I'm a little new to the Android SDK, so forgive me if my question doesn't make sense or is very trivial. I'd like to add a custom field for contacts, that contains the contacts username on a website I'm doing this app for. And, with this custom field, I'd like to have the ability to click it (like "Send message" or "Call mobile") so that I can go to a specif Activity in my application, with a TextView set with the username that I just clicked on.Sorry if that is a bit confusing, if you need anything else let me know!

View 22 Replies View RelatedLast night (the 6th night I've had the phone) I opened People and noticed that many random contacts have been duplicated a few times. There didn't appear to be any correlation with who I had contacted through gmail or facebook, it just looked like a glitch. For now I'm just deleting them as I come across them, but hope this doesn't continue forever.

Its cluttering my Programs page because there's double of like 25% of my apps. The only way I've been able to fix this is to uninstall and then install it again. Is there any way to fix this??

View 1 Replies View Relatedi finally got doubleTwist to sync my music. Now it turns out in every audioplayer i have downloaded I have duplicates of every track (one for each time I synced) Also, the "official" audio player won't play ANY tracks at all. Nothing will play. Just keep getting the annoying message: "sorry, the player does not support this type of audio file."
Which is impossible, as I used doubleTwist to sync in the first place. And I thought that everything got converted so it would work. Now it seems everything - including what did work beforehand - won't work now. I'm really starting to dispair as i bought this thing to replace my ipod that got stolen a few weeks back and am now on contract and really don't want to be regretting it.
Is there an app (or better, a way within Android) to prevent the same contact from showing the the call log more than once? I talk mainly to the same few people, with a few others scattered between, and it would be nice if I had the option to see each contact only once in the call log. (Maybe have the call times viewable if I open the contact's entry in the call log.)
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have just noticed today that all my facebook contacts birthday events are showing twice in the agenda widget? I had to delete the data in /settings/applications/contacts storage yesterday to cure a separate google contacts sync problem that I had, maybe this caused the agenda widget problem? My contacts all synced ok from gmail again and I have since linked a few to facebook contacts in the people app. However most of the
duplicates are for contacts that are not linked in people, so I dont think thats it.
I'm the only one who has run into this problem, but I doubt it. I am overwhelmed by the contact organization system on my inc. I don't understand it at all, actually. I have the following accounts linked to my phone:
1) Exchange Account (using Touchdown App)
2) Gmail account (using gmail app)
Somehow, all my Exchange contacts have now landed in my Google contacts. How did this happen?! And how do I fix this? Moreover, I have over 4,500 contacts in my Exchange account, and I simply don't understand how the phone displays these. Since I'm using touchdown, which has its own contacts tab, will these same contacts show up when I hit the "people" widget? I can't tell if this widget is getting populated by my gmail acct (which now has my 4500 contacts in it) or if it's coming from Touchdown.
Another annoyance is that I don't want to look through 4500 contacts to find the 10 or so people I regularly call or email. Is there a way to make it so only a select few show in the "people" tab, rather than all 4500? I just had to hard reset my phone and I had a group of 15 people that was saved in my google account for text messaging purposes. When I restored the phone, only 10 people were left in the group, the other names weren't even in my "people" widget anymore. How did it decide which 10 people to save? And why did I lose those 5 people from my "people" widget? What is the difference between putting a tab as a "phone" contact, Exchange contact, or google contact? It seems that they are all linked somehow. I don't understand how to back it up properly.
my new employer gave me an evo 4g. i synced it with my google account. had a very organized list of contacts, with groups... it created dups even 3 or 4 copies of each contact... i immediately went to Phone settings > applications > manage applications and removed data... it appears my "People" contacts list and groups are no longer duped...
However... on the home screen, when i click on "phone" above the dialpad, there is a list of my contacts... it's duplicated, but i think it's somehow cached... how do i clear this in application data so it reads from my actual synced people list (which is still no longer duped; only unique entries)?
It's weird why it populates duplicates... John Smith will appear twice.. example
John Smith
916-666-6666
John Smith
9166666666
I'm not sure why some are dashed and some aren't.. referred back to my google contacts.. they all have dashes... is evo creating the duplicate with non-dash? ugh... so confusing.
Is there a way to sync my outlook and exchange data as the same appointments and info on my phone? For example: When I was on winmo, my Exchange appointment and outlook appointment would update each other not create a duplicate. Now that I've synced my PC, I have the same appointment twice on my phone. Green for Exchange and Orange for Outlook. Is there anyway to keep the data the same? In other words, if I have a 5pm meeting on exchange, and I sync with outlook, I want both sources to update the same appointment. Not create another 5pm meeting.

I'm on 4.2. My app list (the thing I get when I click the button with 6 dots) has loads of duplicate apps in it. If I try press and hold any of the apps, I get either "Move to Desktop", which I obviously don't want, or "Uninstall", which if I select, uninstalls the whole app (not just that duplicate). There any way to remove the duplicates?
Searching around the web I found that this happens when you move an app from internal storage to the SD card. Two suggestions to fix this were to move the app to internal storage and then move it back to the SD card, or to reboot. I tried both (one after another), but still no luck (in fact, I may have more duplicates now).
I've made taken the plunge and am uploading all my music to the Google Music cloud. Thing is, I've accumulated a large number of duplicates over the years from moving stuff around and now they are all showing up in GM. Is there an easy way to remove the dups? Or do I need to go through and manually delete each one?

I recently rooted my phone and have been playing around with ROMS and such and clearly needed to back all of my information up. I used the nandroid backup and titanium backup for my apps and then i realized i had no contacts.
So i found mybackup pro and it works great! i actually use this instead of titanium backup now. my only problem is that when it backed up my contacts, i only had like 400+ contacts and now i had 1500
i was able to filter out the extra 1000 by viewing only people with phone numbers, i guess it added all of my fb friends to my contact list. How can i get rid of all of these extra people?
its not just the fb contacts that were added, but there seems to many duplicates which are just linked together. when i go to edit a contact, it asks me which contact to edit, and it lists like 3 or 4 of the same contact name and they all say google underneath.
if anyone else who was unfortunate enough to install the latest vf 'update' noticed that all of their sms messages had been duplicated! which as you can image is a pain in the parts if like me you have alot of messages. I have managed to sort out a work around for this. I used 'sms backup and restore' SMS Backup & Restore - Android app on AppBrain to create an xml of all my sms messages I then wrote a quick vb.net program which checks the xml file for any messages with duplicate timestamps and message contents and removes the duplicate. Then you can just restore the edited xml file. I realise some people might be dubious about using an exe file which someone posts on a forum but i have attached it anyway if anyone wants to use it. I could post the code if anyone wants. Anyway just thought that it might help some of those unfortunate souls like myself who foolishly 'updated' their desire

View 5 Replies View RelatedSo I have a bunch of contacts synced with my google account. Some of these same contacts are synced with other services (facebook, google+, etc.). In the people app, each "service" displays a separate contact (all with the same name) instead of merging them all into one.
Like so
Is there a way to make it so all the services appear under one contact?
Google Calendar on the web shows everything correct BUT, my Droid, even after syncing, shows duplicates of some Events - seems random - and these are not on the web Calendar as duplicates, also shows Events but does not show what they say unless you click on them - no text. What do I do? Do I remove the duplicate in Droid or just let it sync itself correct in time? is there a way to have it better sync?

View 2 Replies View RelatedAbout the only thing I miss from my old WinOS phone is the arrow keys on the keyboard. I don't see that on my Dinc. So, how do you navigate inside a text field? If I want to correct a letter in the middle of a long piece of text, how do I get there? Currently I am using my big fat finger to try and place the cursor where I want but that is certainly not very accurate and usually takes several tries to get it where I want.Earlier today I was editing an email addr in contacts and the long text exceeded the text window. I couldn't figure out how to even see the beginning of the text.
