On my old HTC Desire HD, the phone found and joined/linked/merged contacts belonging to the same person. On the S5, this seems to be a manual process (e.g. Contacts > Menu > Link Contacts). Note: I have no local contacts, only contacts from Facebook, Linkedin, Google, Outlook.com, work email, etc.
On my HTC one m7, desire and hero before it, there was a way that I could auto accept all the facebook link suggestions. I cannot seem to do this with the M9 and have to link them manually (even though the software has found the link). Can I force an auto accept for all suggested links?
There used to be the option of linking your contacts with facebook so pictures and statuses would appear under the contact. Now what seems after latest update 5.1.1 there is no iptikn to link them. So half of my contacts show all that, and the other half that i was in the process of soing before update i cant....
My girlfriend is coming up as something like 20 contacts in the Contacts app on my Samsung S5 with Android 5.0. Even if I link her contacts together, they just get automatically created again. Same think if I delete them. She has several email addresses and we share several apps together such as traffic apps, Facebook, WhatsAPP Skype, etc etc. There is a separate conact for each one. I've tried setting the "Contact to Show" setting to Device (only) but they all still show up so they must be "Device" contacts. I've also got the Contact Setting option checked for "Show only contacts with phone". Even then all her email only and app only contacts show up.
I got a Wildfire phone yesterday, which is my first smart phone. I set up my Facebook and Twitter accounts and I'm using it with a sim card from my old phone, so imported the contacts from that.
The problem is when using the People app, I have multiple contacts for the same person. For example, I have 4 separate contacts for my sister - SIM contact, Facebook, Twitter and email. I have managed to link the Facebook, Twitter and email contacts for her, but I can't link her phone numbers to it. I have 3 phone numbers for her (home, work and mobile) on the SIM card - how do I link these so that when she calls me it shows her photo, status updates etc? When I try to link, it doesn't show up the SIM contacts so I can't add her phone numbers to the main contact page
No option to link the "Myself" contact with other contact(s) in the popup menu. It seems that this is impossible at all now. This option was available in the phonebook in Gingerbread.
I recently upgraded to Android 2.1 and now I find that I cannot link my contacts to Facebook. The ones that I had linked prior to the upgrade are still there, but no options to link on existing or new contacts. The fact that the FB contact profile pics would be updated on my contact list was one of the reasons I bothered with the upgrade.
Under Froyo, I was able to link contact entries that were for the same person but were pulled from different sources and weren't automatically matched. After the Gingerbread update, I can no longer do this.
In one particular case, I have a contact that was pulled from Facebook, for who I now have another email address. I can't add that email address to this person's contact since it says that Facebook contacts aren't editable. So I created another entry for that person with the same name but the additional email address. I want to end up with one contact entry that aggregates both the facebook and additional contact info but I can't do that anymore.
I guess I am talking about gingerbread, though I don't know, but I had a major software update for my Droid 2 Global last week and am still figuring out the differences. Although initially I thought it was good, here are some annoying ones: While entering info in different apps (texting, email, color notes) after typing only a bit, it stops accepting anymore keystrokes and says has separated from the app.No longer able to link or unlink contacts.Unfortunately, I am still discovering contacts that are linked.In case it matters, Verizon is my carrier.I wasted much time trying to send an email to Verizon support and to post on Verizon forum.
I cannot figure out how to link and sync my contacts on my iPhone with my iCloud account. I have followed the steps, and done the merge contacts and back up and store. Nothing shows up on my computer in my contacts app on iCloud it only has apple as a contact but none of my name or numbers in my phone.
I upgraded from the Cliq a few months ago. So I noticed when I link contacts together that it doesn't always keep the name of the contact that I open. It'll change it. Example: I open the contact "Dad" and then link another contact for him "John Doe" and then it will change the name from Dad (which I opened first) to John Doe. Why is it doing that? It did not do that when linking contacts in my Cliq
I can't link all my face book profile pictures to my contacts on my 9900.Only the contacts , that own a black berry can be seen. I have Blackberry services activated, could it be conflicting with the settings
I've tried searching here and on Google, and have found the same question asked a few times but no answers. There is no tab key on the E72 keypad, so can anybody tell me is there an easy way to skip through a web page from link to link (or field to field)?
It has the following text "Following unknown links leaves your phone and personal data vulnerable. By tapping OK, you agree that you are solely responsible for any damage to your phone or loss of data that may result from following this link". There are no messaging settings that turn this off.
I was only able to find one thing from an S5 question and the solution was unchecking a setting while in safe mode? How to do that on the S6 but i don't really want to have to if i can avoid it. I'm on AT&T btw and am running 5.1.1.
In my Galaxy S5, the "My Info" local profile shows the standard avatar, and only my phone number. I previously manually added my own picture, just so I would see my own picture in the messaging app.
Is there a way to link the local contact with my Google+/Facebook/Gmail picture? I have a contact entry for my own info under "Me" that I manually entered in Gmail years ago.
I dont know why this happened, but over the past few weeks every night around 1:20-1:30AM EST i've been disappearing off about a half dozen or so of my friends' contact list. When I go to message them it asks me to re-invite them before I can. A few of my other friends have noticed it too where they get deleted from peoples' contact lists, no one that. We're all running version 5.0.0.57 if it helps
I Had updated my xperia x10 about a month ago. Since then i am facing troubles with contacts. The contacts got deleted itself. Then i tried to sync my account but then also the contacts did not show up although they are present in my account at sony ericsson site. Even after using backup and restore application my contacts werent restored. My contacts have got deleted automatically more then two times.
Last Month i have restored my iPhone with iOS 5, since then my contacts get deleted automatically. I also updated with the latest iOS i.e. 5.1 just to ensure that might be a software glitch but still i am facing the same problem.
I just sold my 3gs and I want to make sure I dont have to do anything with my contacts in order for them to sync back up with my iphone 4 when it gets here. Will it automatically just do this or do I need to do something before I restore my 3gs?
