Motorola Droid X2 :: How To Change Where A Contact Is Saved
Sep 15, 2011
As I am having to again restore my contacts to my latest replacement phone, I am reminded that neither VZ back up nor Corporate Sync restore all of the photos associated with the contacts.Google associated contacts seem to, but there doesn't appear to be a way to change where individual contacts are saved after they are created.I tried exporting my contacts to the SD card last time, but this also didn't include all of the photos.
On my droid turbo I have my contact list on the contacts icon on the main screen. In the phone dialer contacts list I have my wife's contact list that comes up. I can't figure out how to change that to my contacts lost.
In the Email app, where do the saved messages go when you click on the menu key and click "Save email?" It's probably so simple, but I can't figure out how to access them.
Can I remove the email widget (@ on red background emerging from a white envelope) and still receive email? I have a problem not being able to find saved emails when I use this widget to check my inbox. In this mode the app does not show the messages folder.
I have both a gmail account and a cox.net account, I receive emails on both accounts and would like to keep it this way. I'm afraid to delete the above mentioned widget if it could affect my emails.
I thought it was saving pictures sent in text messages to the SD card. After all it says it is saving to SD card rather than phone internal storage. But it isn't. None of the photos are on the external SD card and they do not appear when I attempt to move the files under settings-storage-move to SD card. I noticed there is a slight difference in the path names of the camera and Handcent....the camera has the sdcard-ext in the path and Handcent does not have the ext portion in the path. However when I try to type the path into where to save them, it tells me invalid path. how to save texted photos to the external SD card?
I am facing a very frustrating problem. Sometimes when I create/edit a contact and hit save, then search for that contact in my contacts I can't find it!! Or sometimes I can find it but with all the contact information deleted.I am using Verizon Backup assitant to manage my contacts. I wonder if anyone else have the same problem. That problem is not only frustrating, but also embarassing, especially when you are entering a new friend's contact while showing off your phone
After having gone a couple of months withs with Gingerbread without any problems to report I started experiencing a strange thing with incoming calls, texts, emails, etc.For incoming calls, the number displayed is the correct number but the screen pulls an incorrect name from my contacts list and displays a picture (taken from either LinkedIn or Facebook profiles) that is from a third, different contact.So the number is for Contact A and is the actual caller, the name that is displayed is contact B and the photo is contact c.If I go to make an outgoing call, the same thing in the inverse occurs.I choose Contact A and it dials contact A but displays it is calling contact B.This has caused me to have to double & triple check when I am making calls to ensure that it is calling the right contacts.
A similar thing happens for texts, incoming texts display the correct number from which they are originating but display that they are from a different contact name.When I go to send a text and enter a number it indicates that it is sending it to the correct phone number but with a different name assocaited with that number. Finally, something similar is happening in email messaging. If I hit reply, while the actual email address is correct the contact name that it lists is incorrect.
I just picked up a Turbo after retiring my Razr M. No matter how many times I did a factory reset on the Razr M, every Wi-Fi that I've ever connected to would reamain listed in the "Manage Networks" tab (including the saved passwords). Thought I read somewhere that Google saves all this information under your gmail account.
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 went to at&t store to get my contacts added to my new Atrix and when i got home i could not change anything on them i went to edit and they all said "PRESET CONTACT from at&t (name of contact)! Preset contact information is not editable on this device.(Phone#)"is there any way to over ride this or what should i do?
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 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?
How do you change the primary source for contact photos? (i.e. Twitter, facebook, google) Mine is currently set to twitter I would like it to be set to facebook. when I click options in the account settings the only option is add account.
I have an M8 and I when I save a contact it automatically gives me the option to save it to phone. I have to select the option to backup into Google. So I accidentally saved it to the phone and not Google. So now I cant figure out how to go back and save it into Google once it is saved into the phone. I can just delete the contact and resave it but I would like to know if there is a better way to do it that I am just not seeing?
When I get a message from my friend, her contact name does not show up the way I saved her and I am wondering if someone has hacked my phone or something
I recently purchased the Motorola Triumph. How can I change the ugly green/fuchsia color that flashes when you send/recieve a call? Must be some method to personalize the phone directory?
The phone is saving the photos I take with a specific "DSC_00xxx.jpg " name Is there a way to change the name in something like Photo_(date).jpg when the photo is taken automaticaly?
I've been having trouble with my phone. I just got my Bold 9700 two days ago, and I've decided to tweak it a little. Once I connected my phone into my computer via. USB, two autoplay windows (as usual) popped up, one for my SD Card, and one for my Device itself, then Blackberry Desktop Manager popped up, then it froze. I force quit it and closed the program, then upon removing my phone (by ripping it out aside from Safely Removing it) from the USB then connecting it again, my Device Storage did not autoplay, and it did not show up as a device when I opened "My Computer", but my SD Card Storage shows up. I'm using OS 6 (6.0.0.723, Platform 6.6.0.248). I've tried the calfix thing, but I don't think it applies to my phone, as it's PID_8004.

When on a call with someone and they ask you for a persons phone number, is there away you can leave them and go to your contacts, pull up that phone number and then go back to the person on the phone ?
When I press the contacts button on my droid x to bring up contacts the red arrow starts to circle like it is starting up and then I get back to the main screen. Contacts will not come up. This happened once before and the Verizon tech person had me to a hard reboot and I had to reset my email, download my contacts again and a lot of other stuff. Any way to get contacts back?
When taking pictures with the camera, the pictures are saved in a default folder. I want to change that so when I'm at work, the pictures can go into a work folder. And when I'm taking pictures on trips, the pictures can go into a trip folder.
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).
Using Lotus Traveler for email. My contacts link themselves all the time. If I fix them/unlink them, within a day or two they are linked again. Im talking 20 contacts all linked under one name, and this happening to most my contacts
when I hit the text mess. icon then the green + in top right corner to compose new text I now have to type in name, and can't scroll down contact list. Also the email address comes up instead of the contacts phone number.
Droid X updated with System Version 4.5.605 Android Version 2.3.3
I know how to change the ringtones for individual contacts. My problem is some of them will not change from default. I am not trying to do anything drastic, and I have not rooted my phone. I am using the ringtones provided built into the phone.
I do not know how long this has been an issue. I just tried last night to change one contact's ringtone and it would not move from default. I went through my phone randomly picking contacts that were all listed as default. Some would change, others would not.
