Droid X Contacts

Does anyone know how to assign a picture to a contact on the Droid X?  I have pics of my firends on the phone and I'd like to assign it to their contact info, if possible.  Just can't seem to figure this out.  It took me a long time just to figure out how to edit contacts. 
 Big learning curve on this phone having never been a smartphone user before.

Go into gallery and long hold the pic for options then pick "set as"contacts...pick a contact....move the sqaure box over the face and then save.. To remove the pic..touch the contact..hit menu(hard key) press edit.. long hold pic and select remove..then save

  • Transfer Facebook contact photos to Droid Maxx contact list

    My phone and Facebook are in Sync as far as sharing pictures, etc.  However, I can't figure out how to get my facebook friend pictures to post to my Droid Maxx contact list.  Anyone know how to do this?

        I know its important to have your pictures display on your social media sites and your contact list drdobbs83. You can try the steps below to help with this option.
      • From a home screen, select People (located at the bottom).
    If unavailable, navigate: Apps > People .
      • From the Groups tab, select the group to display.
    Below is another set of steps using the contacts application.
    The Contacts application uses an intelligent merge feature to combine contact information from various sources (Gmail, Microsoft® Exchange, Facebook, new entries, etc.). If contact information was joined in error, the information can be separated back into individual contacts.
      • From a home screen, select People (located at the bottom).
    If unavailable, navigate: Apps > People 
      • From the All contacts tab (located at the top), select a contact.
      • Select Menu (located in the upper right).
      • Select Edit.
      • Select Menu .
      • Select Join or separate
    Please keep us posted.

  • Droid X Contacts Problem

    This problem has to do with Contacts being displayed consistently between the various APS that use them. These all worked fine and as expected until I shut down the phone.  The problem started and remains after turning the phone back on.  All my contacts were synced from my BlackBerry Tour by a Verizon Wireless technician at the time of the Driod X purchase.
    Examples of the problems I having are:
    Only a few contacts (mostly the defaults contacts I believe) are displayed when I launch the Contacts app.  All Contacts was selected by default, and changing the selection to Favorites or Phone Contacts both came up empty.  But when I press the Phone icon to make a call, and touch to display contacts, all my contacts are displayed correctly as Phone Contacts.
    The same problem exists attempting to select a Contact to Text.  It show my previous contacts that I text with.  When I try to bring up my Contacts to text someone else the same few Contacts are displayed and not my Phone Contacts.
    Does anyone else have this same problem?

    Yes, I do think that we are all in the same boat here!  I think Google has to rethink how it handles contacts, and fix this frustrating problem.  Contacts on phone should be based on the phone, and not Gmail or anything else.  I've never had a problem with contacts on any other phone before in my life!
    There was someone who posted they do not have the same problem. My problem started after I powered down the phone I believe.  All contact was proper and available when I took the phone out of the store.  
    I also would like it if we could post the Droid model number and OS version so we can be sure we are all talking about the device setup.
    I have:
    Driod X
    System Version 1.13.516.MB810.Verizon.en.US
    Firmware 2.1-update1
    Kernel version 2.6.29
    Build number VZW
    I am not sure what other information is pertinent.
    Thank you for all the input!!!

  • Best Practice for Droid Gmail Contacts with Exchange ActiveSync?

    Hi, folks.  After going through an Address Book nightmare this past summer, I am attempting to once again get my Contacts straight and clean.  I have just started a new job and want to bring my now clean Gmail contacts over to Exchange.  The challenge is creating duplicate contacts, then defining a go-forward strategy for creating NEW contacts so that they reside in both Gmail and Exchange without duplication.  Right now, my Droid is master and everything is fine.  However, once I port those contacts from Gmail onto my laptop, all hell breaks loose... Does Verizon have a Best Practice finally documented for this?  This past summer I spoke with no less than 5 different Customer Support reps and got 3 different answers... This is not an uncommon problem...

    In parallel to this post, I called Verizon for Technical Support assistance.  Seems no progress has been made.  My issue this past summer were likely a result of extremely poor quality products from Microsoft, which included Microsoft CRM, Microsoft Lync (new phone system they are touting which is horrible), and Exchange.  As a go-forward strategy, I have exported all Gmail contacts to CSV for Outlook and have imported them to Exchange.  All looks good.  I am turning off phone visibility of Gmail contacts and will create all new contacts in Exchange.

  • Re: Droid 4 Contact Widget Question

    The contact widget for the Droid 4 holds only 4 contacts to put on your home screen. It shows it is a 4x1, meaning 4 contacts across with 1 row. I would like to have a second row, making it an 4x2. Can this be done?

        star_gazer1 Hello, I used to have that phone! If you are referring to the icons that are for your frequently called contacts, then I am not sure if the amount of contact icons (the 4 boxes with people inside) can be altered. You may want to confirm this with Motorola at 800-734-5870.

  • Droid Bionic Contacts

    Alright, so if this isnt in the correct section, i apologize. here is the problem...first off the bionic has been an awesome phone for the things that i use it for...im very pleased with it so far. the only issue i have is that when they brought my contacts over from my OG droid to the bionic...i ended up with most of my contacts being double contacts. the first one will be the one from my old phone with the persons correct phone number, and the second will have sometimes their right number but also old numbers of theirs that i had deleted up to 2 years ago. there are also contacts on there that i had deleted altogether in the past two years. i tried to unsync all the other accounts associated with the phone and restarting (yahoo, gmail, and facebook) but nothing happened. i know its not from those though because some of the number are old work numbers of fire stations around the city that i know for sure i dont have on my yahoo, gmail or facebook. somehow they were brought over from the old phones memory from way back when. when i try to delete them, i get down about 8-10 contacts in and the phone kinda freezes and then replaces them all back. i have triend this 4 or 5 times with the same result. i took it to the store today and the lady that helped me transfer the onfo yesterday...very nice woman by the way...said she didnt know and that i could call tech support and they would probably be able to figure it out right away. i called but you cant call from the number that is affected and its rush hour so i didnt want to drive to a verizon store that had a tech support office. my fiancee is at work for the night so i dont have another phone to call from. i saw that there were verizon employees on here answering questions so i figured id post it here and see if i can get it resolved today. if not, i'll drive to the tech center tomorrow. ive tried a few different things on the phone to get rid of them but havent had any luck.. i dont know if this is just an easy fix or something else...or if other people have had this same problem. thanks for any assistance in advance.
    chris

    I am having the same issue as others.  I'm coming over from a BB where the VZW rep transferred the contacts for me.  Once I setup my e-mail accounts, FB, etc.  I started having duplicate contacts.  At first, I was able to straighten this out by using the Display option under contacts.  This only temporarily solved the problem.  All of the duplicates have returned, except now the information within each contact has begun to duplicate.  For instance, I have a contact that I originally had on my phone and nowhere else.  I had notes about that particular contact and now those notes have duplicated themselves within that contact literally 100's of times!  I have tried to edit this contact directly from the phone to no avail.  Please look into this and provide a fix.  I'm seeing this type of error reported over several different Android forums and nobody has a solution that has solved this issue yet.  It keeps coming back.  This is extremely frustrating when you need to actually use the phone for it's main intention, a phone.

  • Htc Droid dna Contact trouble

    Ok so my htc droid dan has some serious issues but last night the device completely reset everything. I lost all my contacts, and I'm not sure how to get them back when i go to backup assistant plus is doesn't work and i though i had them saved on my google account but clearly i didn't. i need to get them back anyway i can! please help.

        Koondog, I am so sorry to hear that your device has reset itself! That's so inconvenient to have to unexpectedly try to piece your information together again! To try Backup Assistant again, follow these instructions to clear the app. http://vz.to/1izKXrw
    My recommendation would be to clear the cache and clear data both on the Backup Assistant app, and also the app labeled Sync Service if available. Restart your phone, and try the backup again.
    Please let us know if this helped to retrieve your contacts!
    Thank you,

  • Droid Eris Contacts

    Hi everybody...I just started using a Droid Eris.  I am having a heck of a time trying to get my contacts from Verizon's backup assistant. Before I switch phones I always make sure my contacts are on verizon's backup assistance on their website.  My old phone was easy Media>Get it Now>Backup assistant.  I called verizon and must have talked with a new representative because she had no idea how to get my contacts on my Droid.  Hopefully it's not to complicated.  Could someone out there please HELP!  I can't take getting a call or text and not knowing who it is.  Thank you!

    This is the best and easiest way to transfer the contacts as well as the only way that was originally available for any DROID branded phone.  I have had my contacts these way since I got the phone.  And considering the way backup assistant has been acting the last few months, it is also the safest.

  • Droid 3, contact issues...help!

    Recently, I had to do a master reset on my Droid 3, due to a number of issues. (Let's just hope this solves them!) Anyway, while trying to restore my contacts (ran Backup Assistant and everything else), I have run into two small yet very annoying problems:
    1) When I try to send a text a particular person in my contact list (if it's relevant I have him, my pastor, listed as Pastor in the first name field and Joe in the last name field), the texting app won't pull up his number unless I type Joe first. Is there a way around this? It's worth noting that I had this issue before doing the reset. I can easily go back and use his regular first/last name, but I'd prefer to keep it this way if I can. This issue applies only to this one contact; every other one works, even for entries that aren't people (i.e. my work number)!
    2) I am going through my contacts and linked their phone numbers with their Facebook accounts, so that I can have their FB profile pics displayed in the contact list. I have been successful with all but two of them. Here is the process I have followed: Tap contact's name in list --> tap menu button and choose "edit contact" --> tap menu button again and choose "join" --> choose FB contact from list of suggested contacts. The problem is at this last point no contacts are being suggested, and choosing "all contacts" doesn't help because all it does is show those I have already saved. Again, this has worked for all of my contacts with the exception of these two, and I didn't have this problem before doing the reset. Both of these people have active FB accounts, and are on my friends list. I have my Facebook account set up properly in the Accounts section of my settings, have the FB for Android app downloaded/logged in, and just about every other possible step I can think of completed. Any advice? This is more frustrating than issue #1 above.
    I would greatly appreciate any help that anyone can offer. I realize these are fairly minor issues that I could probably overlook, but I would prefer not to. Thanks in advance!

    1) Very odd, don't know about that one.
    2) Try setting your facebook sync settings to sync all contacts (within the facebook app), give it some time to sync, then do the join process again.  Those particular contacts may not have any similar info (email address, phone number, etc.) so it may not recognize they are the same person (especially if you have a slightly different name for them, like I have my mom listed as "mom", and her facebook profile has her full name).  This should allow you to at least search for them.  After they are joined, you should be able to put it back to sync only existing contacts so that your phonebook isn't full of facebook friends that you are never planning on calling.

  • Droid Update - contacts have disappeared

    When I installed the new update this morning, my contacts disappeared. Only their mobile numbers appear. So, I have to remember what person had which number and re-create the contact. Also, my text messages all show with the numbers, and not the contact names. Did I lose all my contacts forever?

    Do you have the Incredible or the X?

  • Mini Droid closes contacts periodically after upgrading to new OS,  Just got the phone and its the only problem

    This only started when I did the upgrade to the new OS.  I have disconnected Google Sync contacts, thinking that was the case, but it still does it periodically
    Any help would be appreciated.

        Hello parejf63!
    I'd love to get to the bottom of this! First, let me clarify this for you. When you say that your device closes contacts, do you mean that when you are looking at one of your contacts, the device closes the page and takes you back to the home screen? Please elaborate for me and provide me with some additional data.
    Thanks,

  • HT1692 How cana.   I sync my droid phone contacts to my ipad 4

    How do I sync my contacts from android phone to iPad 4?

    Sync the contacts on the android iPhone to a program on
    your computer (Outlook for PC, Contacts for OS X) and
    then use iTunes on that computer to sync to the iPad.
    If you are currently syncing with Google contacts, your
    iPad can import from there.
