MNew To Droid after finally giving up my beloved Blackberry. Is there a way that I can add the contacts of an email that was sent to me and 4 others without having to do each one individually?
View 2 RepliesI go through the contact list and there are addresses for people I never heard of or emailed. Then my Yahoo mail was hacked after I noticed this. It seems the phone takes all the people in my address book and does a google search or facebook search and it will actually add a photo of the person (which I do not want) and it will not let me delete these new mysterious entries?All VErizon said was I have to make sure contact sync in unchecked in the phone which is it but in Gmail there is no place to unsync contacts. I don't use Facebook, Twitter, or any other socila media site and I want my privacy protected.This is a huge issue because I had a stalker and it cost me a great deal of time and money getting restraining orders and moving from place to place while being located every time.
This is dangerous for me and the phone will not turn off my GPS or stop adding these people in my contacts that may have been on a website I visited. That's the only way I can figure this happened and the Yahoo mail got hacked at the same time.I don't know what elese to do, the phone is locked, the credential password is very hard to remember much less guess and everything is off. No GPS< no sync with anything accept the calendar via Gmail which I made sure is set to PRIVATE.My Gmail profile is also PRIVATE. If I logged in on a PC it will ask do you want to make your profile public so people can find you?
I don't see what type of FILTER I'm suppose to add in my Gmail account to stop this contact sync? Or contact list that grows and grows while I have done nothing.Weirder yet the Verizon rep said it happens when you connect the phone to a PC, that's why she said I need this filter to stop contacts from being added. But I don't have a PC anymore, it broke a few weeks ago and this incident happened last week. The phone wasn't connect to a PC for 6 weeks.Does anyone know how to make me private and stay private. I don't want any contacts added in my phone or Gmail unless I manually add them period. I don't send updates, don't want to and don't want updates from any one else.
I can add/edit a birthday on a contact selecting only the month and day. **This is our preferred method**
My husband's Droid Turbo: For some reason, he is forced to enter a year and that messes with the Birthdays Calendar on his google account. Birthdays entered on his contacts do not display ever year on his calendar.
Question: How do we remove the year requirement and get his screen to look like mine?
When I got my phone, the Verizon rep helped move my 3000 contacts from my old phone to the new one.They are all there in the phone.But, they will not sync up into Outlook via MS Exchange.It WILL sync a newly added Contact, so sync is working between my phone and Outook.This works both directions, whether I create a new record on my phone or create the new record in Outlook.It just won't work with the ones loaded on the phone at the time of purchase.How tag all my original Contacts on my phone so they will flow up into Exchange/Outlook?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI've noticed a couple issues when sending a text message to multiple people. On my old curve, I could hit the menu button, click "add TO", choose a contact, and thats it, simple. But on my Bold, I have to click, "Show recipients", and add another recipient. Now, the problem arises when i want to send it to only one more person. I choose the person and it has the next option for recipient open, which is blank cause im not choosing anyone else. I hit "ok", and it does nothing. I hit "ok" again and when i send the message, its sent duplicate messages, meaning each person gets the message twice. Same thing happens when forwarding. Id choose the person i want to forward the message to, but when I hit "ok" it doesnt do anything, so i have to hit it again and it adds the one contact twice. Anybody know how to fix this issue? Or is this just a common glitch that hasnt been fixed yet?

View 7 Replies View RelatedI have contact list with records for a lot of people (300+), each with several phone numbers each, home, mobile & work, etc, .I can't seem to find a way to have the iPhone announce the name & number or name & type (home,mobile,work) of the caller from the contact list, my old cell phone could do that easily.
At the moment what I've been doing as a work around for a few (important) people is to create a custom ringtone for that caller & that phone number. Since it also seems there's no way to attach a different ringtones to each number in a single contact record I've had to create multiple contact records for each person, each with a different name/number combination such as "John Doe Work", "John Doe Home" or John Doe Mobile" then assign to it the custom ringtone I created for that name/number.
I need to this so that if I receive a call while I'm driving (or whatever) that I can't answer right then for some reason (often happens), the ringtone I created for that name & number helpfully lets me know who & where their calling from. It's very important to know where someone is calling from, if someone's calling from home then I know I've got some time, but if their calling from work then I need to get back to them quickly.
having to make multiple contacts & ringtones for a every person with multiple numbers is a extraordinary waste of time. My old cell phone could do this with no problem but there doesn't seem to be any way to do this with my new iphone.
Info:
iPhone 4S, iOS 5.1.1
So my turbo is set up nice, but when I decided to add in my google play music account, after entering my email it says it cant communicate with google servers. I tried removing my google account and readding to the phone, but that didnt work either. 2 step verification is not turned on with my account as well.
Apparently all I had to do was click on my email that was on the main screen. Telling it to add an existing probably confused it? But anyways, now Im curious because my google music settings show NO authorized devices. Is my phone not authorized anymore? My old phone was on there, but I deleted it from the list, now no devices are there....I mean, Im listening to music with it, and I can buy songs, so Im confused. Or is it a moot point because I only use a STANDARD account?
I know that with the Gingerbread update the duplicate SMS issue was supposed to be fixed but it is still horrendous on my phone. I just received 10..10 copies of the same SMS. This is not a one off occurrence either. Almost daily I receive multiple copies of the same message. I know I'm on a Droid 2 and am due for a much needed upgrade but am trying to hold out for a Droid 5 (if there is even to be one). In other words I'll probably wait until the beginning of 2013 before I pull the trigger on a new phone. Is it safe to say there are no more software updates coming? I know it won't be ICS or anything but any bug fixes? The last time I reset my phone was approximately 60 hours ago, it just froze so had to hard reset.

In one text coversation this morning with my wife, about 60% of the texts she sent me were received multiple times. (she on Dx2).

I did search the forum but found no similiar problems.

View 13 Replies View Relatedmy biggest complaint about Gingerbread reared it's ugly head this past weekend. The lack of "+" symbol in the "to" field of the stock text messaging app.
I wanted to text all of the people in my contacts list who are fathers, to wish them a happy father's day. Unfortunately, to address a text message to multiple recipients, I must remember every one of them, and type in their "letter" individually. I have to type in a letter, then pick one contact, then type in another letter, then pick another contact, then type in another, then pick...I'm sure you can see where this is going. And of course, once I thought I had gotten everybody and pressed "send", I then went into my contacts list and realized that I had forgotten several people, and had to do it all over again. Something that should have taken less than a minute instead took several minutes, and I'm sure I still likely forgot someone!!!
Just who's brilliant idea was it to remove the "+" symbol (that would open up the entire contact list for easy multiple picks) and replace it with the stupid "suggestion" arrow! They should be fired and shot...not necessarily in that order!
Why do I have 3 drives associated with my x2 when I connect to my computer by USB?One has moto driver setup file that don't seem to run, and the other two appear to be my USB card and the phone memory, but the contents are almost identical. Yet the phone shows most memory free, while the USB card is almost full (I transferred my files to a 16 GB card and added music). Docs 2 go desktop sync in particular has issues and doesn't know which drive to enable, but I cannot disconnect only one drive

When I receive a second call, how do I end that call and return to the first? Apparently I get only one 'add a call' per existing call - the 'add a call' button is greyed out after one use. The very brief owner's manual says nothing about the additional call feature. Is there something available on-line that better addresses all the features of the phone?
View 6 Replies View RelatedI keep receiving multip copies of texts. For example let's say a friend texts me. I receive that same text multiple times throughout the day, even thought I deleted it. Another example, let's say that you have your Google Calendar sending you text reminders for events/meetings, etc. Even thought I deleted the first notice I still receive that exact same notice for something that happened two to five hours ago.
View 3 Replies View RelatedI noticed this issue when I had reached the preset 200 msg limit on one contact it started a second conversation so when I would txt it would post in the original conversation and the reply would post on a second conversation. So, I went in and set the upper limit to 999. On a separtate contacts SMS msg's, when I hit 300, it split the conversations again so that even when I type a reply in the new conversation, the reply goes into the original sms and when they reply, it posts to a new SMS. Seriously, this gets confusing. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a workaround? I don't mind buying another SMS app if it will work until Moto has a bug fix out in an updat. I am using the stock app since i previously used Handsent and it deleted all my msgs on 2 different occasions on my previous Thunderbolt.
