Having a small issue with contacts. I can get twitter/FB to sync pics and status updates for everyone of my contacts, but not for myself. I am running CM7 RC1. I know this isnt a big thing, but I dont understand if it can like for every other contact why it wont pull my own info for mine.
It will if you make a contact with your info in it

Well, technically, you aren't a "friend" of yourself on facebook, nor do you follow yourself on twitter, so they have nothing to link to. Just download your profile picture onto your phone and manually attach it to your contact. I don't even have a contact for myself, I don't see the point.
One potential reason for having yourself as a contact is having your own picture show up in SMS conversations.
Ah, I use handcent sms, where you can manually set your own contact picture without actually creating your own contact, I guess that's why I don't have a contact for myself.
Like I said, just download your profile picture to your phone and manually set it as your contact picture? That should work just fine.

I recently upgraded to the new official European wm6.5 sense 2.5 rom. While trying to get my head around the new slow default text messaging app I noticed that when I go to add a recipient, the contact list displays my sim contacts as well as a separate entry for different numbers of the same person. For instance, if I have someone called Alex with both a home number and a mobile number entered, the contact list will display it as two separate contacts. I should also add that I have disabled showing sim contacts using advanced config, and they don't show in the "normal" contact list, just in the messaging one.
As you can imagine, this makes navigating through the contacts much more untidy and time consuming.
Any help will be appreciated
is there no one else with this problem? I was hoping there would be a reg fix or something to sort this out like we've had before

Nope, as I don't use the sim for contacts. I would suggest that you do the same too, no more problemo.

I dont use sim either.. ive disabled it on the normal contact list. But it seems to show up in the messaging contact list as well as home numbers and email addresses and these are not all grouped under a single contact.

In that case, sounds like you need to go into the sim manager and delete the numbers off the sim, if that doesn't work, get your provider to do you a new sim.
Anyone else had this problem? Text from T-Mobile is listed as from one of my contacts (and not from T Mobile). I checked the afrementioned contact's details and none alludes to the fact that I have accidentally include 150 into her details etc
lol same here mate.
Think it's a bug and t-mob f*****d up with their OS lol
I had the same, was listed as someone I hardly talk to on Facebook. Just removed the friend and worked itself out.
Same here, pulled someone off FB!
............
Same here, was my nephew from Facebook!!!
Have complained to T-Mobile along with the lack of complimentary movie rentals (imei issues, apparently!!).
Regards
DF
SAME HERE!
I'm not too fussed though ...
Guys
I am assuming that you are getting these problems even after customising the 'View' option of the People widget. Otherwise you can customise the list even further there.
Regards
If you sign-in to Facebook, it will pull your FB contacts and link them with your regular contact book.
Also, you might have an option to save unknown numbers after the call and that's why 150 is appearing in your contacts.
As the saying goes... RTFM
How do I remove ALL my FB contacts I only want the one's that I have Google Contacts for and manually link?
Just happened to me also.
Weird??????
Just happened to me when I got my Flext allowence text but its not an issue with just the tmobile rom, mines a sim free desire from carphone warehouse and still does it so its a bug with the desire, had to delete the facebook contact and it sorted itself out.
Had this also - check the contact that its matching against and see if they've got a wonky phone number on their facebook profile, something with letters in it. Mine had 'ask me' as the phone number and it seemed to match on that.

Same. My contact has ask me as her mobile number ugh.
Hi
Found a weird problem with SMS sent to me by T-Mobile and First Direct
When the message arrives it is shown to have come from "John Smith" who isn't in my phones contact list, however he is in my Facebook list BUT without a phone number.
Normally it would show the company name or sometimes 150 for T-Mobile.
If someone who isn't in my contacts sends me a text it is showing the number who sent it.
Anyone else had this or know how to fix it?
Got the same bug myself. Put in a new sim card and the same thing happened again, also the same facebook contact appeared. I just deleted it
OK I deleted the Facebook contact who was showing up (they are not that close a friend anyway)
As soon as I did the SMS changed from his name to First Direct
Not sure why it happened, or what I would have done if it was a close friend, but its fixed for now
I have the same problem, just yesterday... I havent tried to resolve it though..
Problem is I do not know how to delete this facebook contact...

Login to Facebook on your pc.
Goto Friends
Find the one showing up in your SMS
Click on the remove friend link down the left hand side and confirm removal
I had the same...the facebook contact had their phone number listed as '???'.
My (ex) friends number was "Ask Me"
Still not sure how that links it to T-Mobile (150) or First Direct (no number shown)
just posted about this, sorry, missed this post.
i have the same prob, my fb contact has no number but ask me instead. i dont want to delete the contact though, grrr

I wondered when that might happen.... I guess the best option is to delete them, then add them as a friend again?
Although that might bring back the issue, at least its worth a try!
Let us know how you get on.
Got the same problem. Problem is this is quite a close friend so I'm not going delete her.
Hopefully this will get sorted out with a patch or an update.

Just had the same too, hope there's an update for this, it's quite annoying!
Same for me, friends number is '0800 eat my leg' haha
Rather than writing rubbish in the number fields, why not just leave it blank? Stupid people on Facebook.
Same problem here with texts from Lloyds TSB and mobile fun! As a few others, I don't want to delete the Facebook contact to fix it as it shouldn't be happening to start with. :/
Found that the person was the only Facebook contact I had linked with a stupid phone entry. I have Facebook contacts hidden in 'People' and now none of them linked with silly numbers - I'll see what happens the next time one comes.
I don't think its just limited to Facebook linked contacts as mine was linking to an imported contact from Google but who had an additional business number listed as 'x' in the second number field. deleted the field then all was sorted

I have this problem too, when T-Mobile sends me an SMS. At the moment I've only seen Facebook contacts linked to the messages, 2 different contacts so far. One of them (happened just now) actually has her proper mobile number set. In both cases these people exist as contacts purely on facebook, they are not "linked" to a phone/google contact.
I've reported the problem to HTC support, I'll post if I get a reply. Please make sure you report the problem so that HTC are aware of it.
I'm getting the same problem too with my Orange Desire

My fb friend also has "ask me" grrrr
Contacted Orange and HTC to see if they know a fix to this, if not I'll just have to delete that contact.
I contacted HTC last week... just got the following back from them:
Thank you for contacting us. The issue that you have described is known to us, and we are currently investigating this. We hope to have this resolved in a future software update, and you are advised to regularly check the update feature on your phone in order to download any ROM updates as and when they become available.

Hopefully they fix it soon. The more contact they get about it, the higher priority they might give it (wishfull thinking!!) so if anyone is getting this issue please contact HTC via their support link:

Hi,
I found a strange little bug with the HTC Sense People app.
I have all my contacts synced from my Google Account but the problem is "Call Mobile" has 44 at the start of the number. Meaning when ever I try make a call it says number not recognised - I think it needs to have +44. When I got into edit contact it has the actual mobile number with 077 etc...
Any suggestions?
I've noticed this, I'm betting the contact you have this problem with is linked to Facebook. If you look at that persons Facebook details I bet they've put a phone number in that starts with 44. There is no way around it unless you can persuade them to change it. It seems that it uses this info over the Google info. The only thing to do is to unlink the contact from Facebook till they sort their number format out.

Thanks for getting back to me and yes they are synced with Facebook.
I have found a little work around though, when you are in the dialer and have their name highlighted use the optical pad to move left and right and it will choose their other numbers.
Ah! That's interesting to know, although I usually select ppl to call or text via the people app, so it kinda stuffs you that way. Oddly it will work for sending texts but not calling.

Hey guys,
i just found out that if you change the number (from mobile to work or home or something like that) it sort of fixes it. You still get the wrong facebook number in there but ay least you also get a usable number to call.
I searched for a solution for this and I hope this has not been covered. I bought my wife a 3g slide and she loves it...I think it its pretty cool too...but here is my issue she has only her T-Mobile contacts visible and they are all synced w/ Facebook. But when she uses the messaging app ALL of her Facebook friends that included a number on their info become click-able...very annoying!
Is there a way to tun this off without losing the functionality of having the phone contacts synced...? Said another way her contact app works great b/c the FB contacts are hidden (there is an option to only show certain contacts) ....but when using the messaging app they are ALL visible there is NO option to only show certain contacts.
Any advice would be appreciated...I am a WinMo guy and this is out of my wheel house.
Go into contacts and hit menu...view and it'll give you a list of contact groups to show/hide...

I have already done that...I think you misunderstood my question. The issue is not with the contact app...I have the unwanted contacts hidden there. The problem is when I tap try to compose a new text meassgae...then it displays ALL the Facebook contacts....maybe there is no way to hid them on the messaging app?
Edit: I guess it it is not problem to initiate a new text message from the contact app...but it would be nice if there was a away to hide the FB contacts in the MESSAGING app...

As far as I know the only way to do such a thing would be to disable Facebook contact sync.
