Motorola Atrix 4G :: How To Update Contact Birthdays/anniversarys
Jul 25, 2011
Is there any way to add contacts' birthdays and anniversarys in Gingerbread? In Froyo I could edit the contact and they had a field for this near the bottom of the contact info. Now all I see are generic "notes" and "nickname" fields. While viewing the contact, it still has all the birthday information I put in while on Froyo. I know I can edit this information in Gmail, but it's much more convenient to add it in through the phone's contacts

All the birthdays in my gmail contacts were originally working fine on my Atrix.However since the update they do not sync properly. If I add a new contact the birthday doesn't show and if I change the birthday of an existing contact the birthday disappears on the Atrix. They dates show on the contact information but do not appear on the calendar.In addition, if I change or enter a birthday for a contact using the phone it always changes the entry to the previous day after I hit the SAVE button. For example, change a contact's birthday to April 1 and after saving it shows March 31 (which is what gets synced back to google). It doesn't show up on the calender under either date however.

I just recently performed the 4.5.91 update on my phone, and it has altered/edited my contacts. The older software allowed for birthday/anniversary information. Cannot figure out how to add this information back to my contacts. For the "few" that actually still showed the birthday/anniversary information, either the dates are off or they just appear as a group of numbers. When I try to delete the incorrect/altered information, it doesn't give me the ability to do that.

I just went through with the newest update (system version 4.5.91.MB860.ATT.en.US) and I am now unable to assign ringtones for contacts, and can't change my regular/universal phone ringtones to anything other than the defaults. Anybody else having these problems, or know how to get around them?

I recently purchased an Atrix and on the second default page of the phone is four icons to add what I call quick call icons. I had no problems adding contacts to those icons but I would like to have more that 4.
1. What is the proper name for those "quick connect" icons?
2. Can I have more that 4 and if so how to I create more?

I'm trying to change which photo is displayed for certain contacts. Right now it automatically puts facebook photos, I'm trying to change it to a different picture. I go into the contact, click edit, tell it to use an existing photo, I crop the photo how I want it, click save, it shows the new photo in the edit screen, I click save again and it defaults back to the facebook photo.

I am unable to add the new contact. As I try to add any new number through dialer or directly from add contact, it won't be visible in my contact book. But if I add through dialer, and dial it, It will be visible in my Recently dialed number, but not in the contact list.

I tried to resize the widget into a 2x2 with a larger area for the picture so I could see my girlfriend's smiling face. But when I did that, it actually makes it into a 1x2 with HUGE buttons and a really wide, but short, picture. Is there a way to make the picture larger, and the buttons smaller?

I am using Gmail Calendar. I have subscribed to the "Contacts' birthdays and events" calendar using the Gmail web interface. The Android Calendar App lists this calendar as synchronized and visible. Unfortunately, the anniversary, birthday, and other events from the calendar do not display. I purchased the CalenGoo App to troubleshoot this issue. CalenGoo also fails to display the the "Contacts' birthdays and events" content via the Android account. However, if I manually add my same Gmail account to CalenGoo and allow it to sync independently, then the events appear as expected. This indicates that Android is not actually synchronizing the events from this calendar, although the UI reports that it is.
I have tried deleting the Calendar Data from the phone, removing and re-adding the "Contacts' birthdays and events" calendar in Gmail, and re-syncing on Android various times. These actions had no effect.Is anyone with a Motorola Atrix HD seeing this behavior, or getting the contact birthdays and anniversaries to display?

How can I delete all of the contact data, without doing a complete reset of the phone? This needs to be done, occasionally, in order to freshly repopulate the contacts, and not end up with duplicates in the phone. The phone gurus at Best Buy and AT&T were also frustrated by the absents of this "Delete All" contact's feature.

I have noticed one contact (from my Google Contacts) that I've marked as a "Favorite" that absolutely will not appear in the contact list when I open the Contact app. If I get a call or message from that person, All of the relevant contact information shows and in fact I can go directly to a Contact card for that person from either text messages, call log entries, and email. The only way I cannot see the contact is in the contact list with one small exception. The only time I can see the contact in question is if I go to the dialer app and select the "Favorites" tab.
The contact appears in the favorites list. The contact record shows a link to a Google profile, but the contact never shows up in the contact app. I've tried various things to try and get the contact to show in the contacts list, but nothing seems to work. I'm not running any special apps for email, or texting. I do not have Facebook or Twitter included in Motoblur (in fact make minimal use of Motoblur). I use the "official Twitter and Facebook apps. Last night, I did a factory reset as a last resort, but it did not change anything.

I imported my contact via phone portal with a Motorola backup file (*.bak) and selected Motorola Services for contacts storage. However, as time passes, my contacts keep growing with hundreds of copies with each entry. I mean when I select a contact an choose "Edit Contact" list shows me hundreds of same entries, as a result phone becomes unresponsive while trying to open "Edit Contact" activity. At the same time this causes general unresponsiveness on the phone because I think it fills memory and tries to garbage collect for a long time (I inferred these by looking "adb shell logcat" and "adb shell dumpsys meminfo". When I run "adb shell dumpsys meminfo" command while trying to open "edit contact, it became hung in that process)Can Turkish characters in my contacts cause this problem?

Is there anyway to change the picture of a contact group? I like sorting my contacts into various groups and use the feature a lot. It would be nice to give each group a different picture instead of the grey head outlines that are next to each group. When I go to Edit Group, it only lets me change the name. Is it possible to change the picture or at least turn the picture off?

I'm new at this so I apologize in advance if this has been asked. I'm not even sure where or how to search for the answer.I am a former Blackberry user and, as with my Atrix, my phone can be turned on but is non-accessible without a passcode, finger swipe, etc. However, with my Blackberry, as soon as the phone was turned on, I had my name and work telephone number typed on the wallpaper, asking to be contacted if my telephone was found. I haven't found a way to put the same info on my Atrix. Perhaps creating my own wallpaper?

one change i noticed on the gingerbread was that i now have limited ability to edit contacts. here's the situation:
I got a new number of a person who was already a facebook contact (because of motoblur syncing my facebook to my contacts). But i go to the contact and select edit so i can add the phone number and the phone says "facebook contact information is not editable on this device." i really dont know what to do.

I recently upgraded to GB, lost all my phone numbers in my contacts, but thankfully the special app worked and I retrieved them. I want to sync with gmail, but I must of choose the wrong default option, when you add a new one, it asks you gmail or motoblur, always use this choice.
I added a contact and it looks like its a motoblur contact, when I go into accounts motoblur has a lock symbol next to it (odd).
anyhow to the questions:
1) How do I change add contacts to use gmail, now that I do not have a choice when adding new contacts.
2) Is there a qucik guide to remote wipe.
3) Someone mentioned they used motoblur to find their phone, how can I do that?
4) How often does my contacts/books etc sync with gmail, can you increase/decrease it?

I cannot transfer my phone's Contact list either automatically or manually from my Atrix 2 to my new Toyota Camry. Any chance Motorola has a patch or software update in the works? FYI, my wife's older cellphone will allow manual transfers to the Contact list so I know its not the car's problem.
