More than one contact list a PITA on the iPhone

I have two contact lists on my iPhone - one personal & one business.  Both are synced to separate gmail accounts.  My personal list is set as the default contact list in settings.  (I had three when I had contacts enabled for iCloud, but that only complicated things worse.)
How the heck do I add a new contact to my business list from my iPhone without going into settings and changing the default list first?
If there is no way to do this, and as far as I can tell there isn't:
Feature Request: have a dropdown on the new contact screen so you can select which contact list to add the new contact to if there are more than one.  And/or the ability to move a contact from one list to another.
[I'm not sure if Apple monitors these forums; is there a better place to make a feature request such as this?]

I'm aware of that.  But about 90% of the time, I add contacts from the phone or message app, not the contact app.  If I get a call or message from someone not in either of my contact lists, I'll click "Add new contact".  This only adds it to the default contact list - there's no way to choose or to move contacts from one list to the other.
The limitations of syncing Google contacts with the iPhone is becoming troublesome too; I'm loosing numbers for some contacts with many phone numebrs and/or they are getting re-labled.
I'm trying to figure out if I can somehow sync both accounts with iCloud.  It would have to be a one-way sync though so I dont' end up with personal contacts in my business account and business contacts in my personal list.
I must be missing something.  I can't be the only person with two email accounts and needing access to the contacts in both of them from my phone.

    Is it possible to send more than one photo in an email using with the iPhone? Thank you in advance for your help

    Yes.  Open your camera roll in the thumbnail view, tap the arrow button on the top right, tap all of the photos you want included in your email, tap Share at the bottom, tap Email.  Note: all email providers have limits on the size of emails that are permitted so be careful not to try to add too many or it may not be delivered.

  • Sending SMS to more than one contact via Nokia PC ...

    I had to send three mates the same message with details of an event coming up. It was going to be long so I wrote it via PC Suite so I could use the PC's keyboard, selected the three contacts and pressed send.
    This is probably something for Nokia to think about when they next do not only the phones firmware, PC Suite but even Life Blog.
    The message was sent to three contacts as I said... according to the log in my N70 it only went to the first contact... I updated to Life Blog as normal and it was the same.
    I need to be able to track messages. the only way round it I can see is type the message three times and do three separate messages instead of one sent to three contacts.

    AHhrrr....
    Just went into message details on my N70 and it does list all three contacts there...
    Also if in Lifke Blog if you click properties it shows all three contacts.
    Even though I have resolved my own problem I'm sure Nokia could allow there software to show the fact it has gone to more than one contact a little easier.

  • Insert more than one contact in the same page/document

    Hello,
    I have tried without success to insert more than one contact into the same page of a document.
    For example, if i insert 2 Address book fields in a page, when i drag a contact from the address book then it populates automatically the 2 fields, and it is impossible to separate these fields and to populate them with 2 different entries (on the same page).
    And when you drag more than one contact to Pages, it asks you if you want to create one document per contact.
    Would it be possible to just insert 2 or more different contacts on the same page/document ?
    Thanks in advance for any help,
    Fred.

    Unfortunately, this can't be done with Pages, nor could it be done with AppleWorks. I think the assumption is that you would merge into a letter & one letter sent per person. In checking the 3 postcard templates in Pages 3, none of them have address book fields to drop contacts into.
    There is a workaround, but it might not be worth the effort. Create your postcard as a single, large document in page layout in landscape & merge to a new document. Then, in the print dialog, choose Layout from the drop-down menu that says Copies & Pages & choose 4 from the Pages per Sheet menu. You might also want to add a hairline border for cut lines.

  • Why can't I send a text message to more than one contact?

    With all my previous cell phones I was able to send a single text message to more than one contact. With the iPhone I can only send to one contact and then I have to type the text message again and send to another contact, and so on. Or am I messing a fuction on the iPhone that allows for sending a text message to more than one contact?

    No, you are not missing it. That feature is not available on the iPhone.

  • If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

    If I have more than one I phone can I use the same apple ID for all off them?

    Yes. You can have multiple iPhones on the same ID, up to the maximum 5 total devices. FaceTime will use the sim number for calls and you can configure each phone separately, or configure one and then back it up to iTunes and them restore the image to the others.

  • Can I have more than one version of adobe reader at the same time?

    can I have more than one version of adobe reader at the same time?

    If I may add a qualification: on a device running full Windows 8, you may have both Adobe Reader Touch and Adobe Reader (normal desktop edition). This does not apply to the primitive devices which cannot run desktop apps (running "Windows RT"), and while I may be wrong, I believe that the Surface 2 is such a device.

  • Can I pair and use more than one set of bluetooth speakers at the same time on my ipod touch 4.0

    can I pair and use more than one set of bluetooth speakers at the same time on my ipod touch 4.0 or Iphone 4s or Ipad 2?

    You can only connect to one device at a time using Bluetooth, See article below for more information.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1664
    While your iOS device can maintain multiple pairing records, it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. This prevents your iOS device from sending your data to the wrong Bluetooth accessory.

  • Why do we need more than one retained earnings accounts & what is the use?

    Hi FI Experts,
    Why do we need more than one retained earnings accounts, what is the precise use of two?
    I know the retained earnings account is used to carry forward the balances during the year end to the balance sheet and there by making the p&L A/cs balances as zero.
    I guess the second one is used for different valueations for example  as depreciation accounts for different valuations will have different retained earnings accounts.
    Kindly correct me if I am wrong and eloborate on the use having more than one retained earnings accounts.
    with regards
    Ramesh Y

    Hi,
    Well, separate retained earnings accounts are used for parallel financial reporting, it means when you need to report in accordance with, for example, local GAAP and IFRS or US GAAP at the same time. Several retained earnings accounts  are necessary when the company chooses account based approach for parallel reporting. (GL accounts are broken down into several groups, for example you use different accounts for IFRS valuation, for local GAAP and they are also shared accounts common for both principles.)
