Hi all,
Just got my new HTC one and have noticed a major annoyance, despite the fact that my phone is set to only display google contacts, it defaults to "phone" when adding a new contact. is there a workaround/method/hack to change this default to google? It's becoming an issue and if it cant be overcome than i have picked the wrong phone.
Thank you in advance for any ideas.
Is anyone else even having this issue?
My ONe X has the same problem and I absolutely hate it, maybe someone can fix this

Hi guys
I have a very annoying issue. I am on android 4.0.3. I set up my contacts to show only phone contacts as I always have. I had sgs2 before so this is just another unit.
So, I setup a contact picture for one special contact and I can see the small thumbnail next to the name. Ooook. Now, when I call or get a call from that person the photo doesnt show. Just the regular samsung calling screen. Never happened with another unit.
Second issue is with the ringtones. No.matter what song I setup for a contact, phone only plays the general ringtone.
I dont understand what is happening. I dont want to use a 3rd party app, for such basic function.
Any idea is welcome. Thank you!
I recently got an SGS5, and I noticed something that has started to annoy me. Judging on what I can read online and from googling I am not the only one annoyed by it. But so far no one has actually provided a viable and working solution as far as I see it.
Problem:
I have several contacts with multiple phone numbers under them, and when I get texts from the various number it creates one new thread/conversation pr number they text me from and its getting to the point where it is getting annoying. Isn't there some way to fix or correct this?. ie where the phone defaults to respond to the last number it got a text from, from that contact, or that it simply defaults to sending a text out on the default selected number or asks?.
I am not looking for something or a solution that will merge all my threads back in time, but for something that works going forward so that all threads created from today and onwards gets merged.
I know Google Hangout apparently can do this, but I don't want to use Google Hangout as my default messaging app, and I am presently using HandCent in case there is a setting inside Handcent that I just need to set.
But I hope someone might have a working solution to my problem/issue & thanks in advance.
Recently I had to get a replacement phone for my mom and they gave us the HTC Droid DNA. My mom is very technologically literate, so Im trying to make the phone as simple and straight forward as possible. When it comes to adding a new contact, I can't seem to find a way to change the default contact type for the account it will save the new contact to. So far, any other device Ive worked with, a drop down appears allowing you to, not only choose the account you want to save the current contact to, but to change the default for future contact additions. The DNA only allows me to change contact type/account for the current contact being saved. My mom will never remember to change to the gmail account. Does anyone know how to change this?
PS
Before saying that we should've got her a flip phone, iPhone, or anything else... We looked into every option we had. Flip phone and iPhone were at the top of our list, but this was the only option available to avoid excessive prices and penalties
Hi guys, I am facing a weird issue with my Sony Z5: a friend got married and changed names, I updated her entry under Contacts and so far so good. Easy job. Now here is the weird thing: Text messages (SMS) under "Messages" are still showing her with her old name. I even tried completely deleting all texts and the contact entry under Contacts and recreating her entry from scratch but as soon as I texted her to test if it worked, her OLD name showed up under Messaging. Ironically when searching for her old name under Contacts, nothing comes up, and yet, Messaging keeps the association of the number and old contact name.
What is going on here? Kinda annoying and not sure if there is an rational explanation why this would happen.
Any feedback or ideas? Should some sort of cache be cleared?
This is for a Z5C with Marshmallow recently upgraded. Stock Firmware. Not rooted.
Thanks in advance,

Any feedback? Anyone else facing this?
I tried searching the net, but everything I can find relates to MM or earlier. I definitely fixed this issue when I first got this phone, so that only people with numbers were shown in my contacts list. Now I upgraded to Nougat just a few hours ago, and now I can't figure out how to do that again. That option doesn't seem to exist anymore! Am I missing something?? Or did they remove this option from the stock Contacts and Phone apps?
This is absurd. Pulling up Contacts shows a huge list of everyone I've ever interacted with over email, which is beyond stupid, imo. If I need to reach some person via email whom I don't text/call, then that's what the Gmail app is there for. What's the point of this mess? Sorry about the mini rant.
Same Problem
Same Phone, Same Problem, Same Question?!
I'm convinced now that, yes, Google really did think that a dysfunctional Contacts app is what the people want. So, the only solution here is to switch to third party apps. Oh well, not a big deal I guess.
I found a work around, create a new label in contacts and all the contacts with numbers to that label. Then you can customise the view on your phone to display only that label. If you ever add any contacts in the future with a phone number just ensure you add them to that label which you can do via your phone.
