Motorola Droid 4 :: Favorite Contacts / Text To EMail?
Aug 31, 2012
Right after upgrade to 4.0.4, I had to rebuild my Favorite Contacts. When I open one and select "text", I am presented with eMail addresses not SMS phone numbers. The phone number is in the contact. How do I get the phone number here? I also use Handcent SMS and it also shows the email address.This did not happen before the upgrade.
Since upgrading to ICS, my daughter's cell phone will not show up in the "favorite contacts" widget, even though her contact entry is checked when I select Add Contact function. How can I get this to be added? (WOrls fine in Android 2.x that originally shipped with my Droid Razr Maxx from Verizon).
Is there a way to change the favorite tiles to a list? I know on the favorites widget that you can arrange them in the order that you prefer, but I cannot find a setting to do the same in the dialer.
My husband and I have recently purchased the droidx2 and have encountered problems with texting. The incoming text appears in the notification field at the top of the home screen from the correct sender, but when we open the text, the sender contact has been randomly switched to another person in our contact list. This is happening quite frequently and is resulting in texts going to very random people. Occasionally when composing a text, the chosen recipient will randomly change when we press the send button.
Just recently, on my Droid 2 Global, whenever I am composing a text or an email, if I use certain puntuation (usualy a question mark, excaimation mark or comma) the screen will freeze and I have to restart the phone. Happens with either built in or third party text/email apps.
I get no led notification, screen off or of course screen on. Occasionally the led will flash a single time when the phone goes into sleep mode but no more after that. Not for email, text message, nothing. Tried a reset and no led even before re-installing 3rd party apps. None of the led apps worked either.
This was possible in Blackberry and I miss it in Droid 4. ... WITHOUT some app... 1. Creating distinct phone RINGTONE for contact GROUP2. Create distinact NOTIFICATION alert sound for receipt of SMS TEXT from contact/group.3. Create distinct EMAIL alert for receipts of any asynchronous MESSAGE (TEXT or EMAIL) from cotact or group
Can I get personalized tones for emails on my Droid3? I know you can have ringtones for your contacts when they call you but how about when they email? I had them on my Blackberry but don't seem to find it on the Droid 3.
Since updating my phone SMS text or the email sender no longer shows up in my status bar. I just get the notification icon. I initially thought it was a problem with Chomp SMS, but then I discovered Gmail is not showing the brief text notification either, just the icon. Any setting somewhere to change that?
Since updating to Lollipop. my Exchange contacts are not syncing in my phone's stored contacts or with any apps outside of the stock email app. I have the "Sync contacts" box checked in the email app settings.
My razr maxx all the sudden ended up with 15000 contacts in it. I should have about 200 at the most. No fooling, they are all email addresses. Of course only 200 are ones I know. How do I remove them?
I have a DroidX version 2.2.1 and I use Corporate email. When I type in a new Calendar event into the phone it sync's to Google fine but it does not sync to my Corp Calendar. The same happens for Contacts. Here's what I've found:
1) Phone to Google works 2) Phone to Corp does not work 3) Corp to Phone works 4) Corp to Google does not work
When I first setup the phone, I setup Corp email and Gmail and the sync worked well. Some time later I removed my Corp email account from the phone only to re-add it a couple weeks later. Since then, the sync does not work the way it once did. I have set the phone so that my Corp account is the default account. I receive email on the phone with no issues. I want my Corp Calendar/Contacts to match my phone no matter whether I enter them from the phone, Google or my Corp Desktop.
I'm coming from the S3 which had a "Favorite Contacts Widget" that was a 3x3 grid that showed me 9 of my favorite contacts. With the S5 this widget is gone. I looked for one in the Play Store but none are as good as the one on the S3. how to find the S3 widget again?
Ever since the latest update from tmobile my favorite contacts are not appearing on my edge, the tab is only there sometimes. My settings is all correct and the only way that tab will appear is if I restart my phone and or go into my settings, turn off people edge and back on then it appears again, but only for a little while. Then disappears again, same with restarting my phone. This one of the main reasons I bought this phone.
Since the new JB update I have lost the ability to group email and group text. I used to be able to go to the "To:" field, type in the group name and click it. Now that is all gone. Is there a way to get it back or is this another JB issue?
Is there a way to turn the text-to-speech options on only for caller ID and text messaging? I don't want the phone to tell me every button I push or screen menu that I'm on. I want it only to read me texts and say who the call is from before ringing.
Droid Razr 16, google speech app - when using speech app to dictate text mesage, and more than one sent to same person in short period of time (5-10 minutes), the first text message is resent rather than the second text message which has been dictated and appears in the confirmation/edit window. Verizon Wireless tech support was stumped, and no help in the online motorola tech support either.
I've got a very strange problem. When I try to set a contact as a favorite by pressing the star it flashes a couple of times and then goes out. When I go to the favorites tab a different contact is now the favorite. No matter which contact I try to make a favorite only that one contact becomes a favorite. The same goes for ringtones. If I try to set a ringtone for a contact it remains the default ringtone and the same contact that always gets flagged as a favorite gets assigned the ringtone. I have tried refreshing my phone and starting over to no avail. This used to work even after upgrading to GB.
My single favorite thing about my Atrix 2 on the new ICS software...I tried all sorts of things before to get it to do that including factory resets. If there was not any other "fix" or "upgrade" I would still be thrilled with just this one. Luckily the phone just runs so much smoother, faster, and less "buggy" as well.The only thing that gets me is why my phone is at 1.0Ghz and my wifes is at 1.2Ghz. They were bought at the same time from AT&T in the USA, have the same apps, have tried resets on both since discovering this, have the same processors, serial #'s are nearly identical except for 2 numbers.
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 assigned pics to a bunch of my contacts and was pleased to see they synced over to my Exchange account. All of my Android phones I've had since then (G1, Droid, G2, Sidekick 4) pulled those pictures down from Exchange once I set up my contact sync and showed them in Contacts, when I'd get an incoming call from that person, in the text messaging app, etc.
But, the Droid3 doesn't. I'm guessing this is because it looks like it uses a custom app for Exchange, but still, I'd like to see it fixed/added. FWIW, contact pics from my Google+ contacts do show up.
On my Droid Razr Maxx using Corporate Sync with the built-in email client attached to an Exchange 2010 server, when i receive an email that is digitally signed (but not encrypted) any and all attachments do not come with the email. (no paperclip symbol). I receive all other attachments fine when the email is not digitally signed.Using Verizon Wireless as carrier.if the signed email was sent to my Gmail account all attachments appear as normal.
When I set up my DroidX, I set up my e-mail account using my Verizon.net email account. I would like to remove this account, but can't find how to do this under the e-mail app settings, nor does the Verizon account show up under Accounts
My current text messages are being combined with old text messages, creating messages that don't reflect what I sent. The recipients of my texts are very confused....as am I when I get there response.
