It seems the droid x defies the whole Google philosophy by wanting to save new contacts on the phone and not necessarily a Google account. Is there a way to disable this and only create new Google contacts? I don't want to have two linked identical entries for one new entry.

I feel your pain. The MotoBlur guys really blew it on the Droid X's Contact management.
Is there an apk for the default contacts?

So I'm confused as to what's different from this and my G1 with 1.6. I have synced my contacts and when I go to contacts from the home screen I see them all (with the little g next to them), but when I try to assign a ringtone to an individual contact as I did on my G1, it takes me to an empty contact list with no option to see my contacts. What's going on? Already getting tired of ToughWhiz getting in the way of my Android experience.
Niceee....of all the things I had trouble on it was this... I feel dumb lol

Doesn't work from google contacts. To assign ringtones to fiddler contacts I'm using Ringdriod. Anyone else has any solutions for google contacts?

Ringo Lite. It's a PITA to have to install a separate app but it works perfectly.
Awesome thanx

This is my first post so I hope this is all by the books...
I am on my second day of using my Droid X, and I noticed whenever I set a contact picture it makes a copy alongside the original, in the original's folder. Hopefully you guys know what I'm saying. It is a pain in my butt to constantly go into my gallery and delete the copies. Can this be avoided?
I had a Droid, an Incredible, and now an X, and this is the first time in my life I've seen a phone do this.
If this had already been asked I apologize, I didn't see anything this specific.
I have a few other questions since this is the place with the experts, but this one is driving me nuts.
Thanks guys

I've noticed this too. Have no clue how to prevent it, but I don't see it as a huge deal.
I think the phone resizes it. Check to see if there the same size or not, or what the name of the new file is because it might correspond with the contacts name. I use Facebook for all of my contacts pictures

What it looks like it's doing is when you select an area of the picture to set as the contact picture, the area you select, it actually saves as a seperate picture. So your various picture folders are being populated with your pictures as well as the contact pictures. This seems strange and unnecessary as no Android device I've ever seen does this.

It also saves every text message you have ever exchanged with your contacts
Go to contacts then pick one and swype left, you'll se what I'm talking about

Looks like to me that it only saves the last 10 messages with the contact on my phone.

i installed google voice...integrated it with my sprint phone number...how can i temove it? id rather use vvm again...thanks
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA Premium App
With the standard google voice service you could do something like *38 to disable google voicemail.
However, this is not an option if you enabled sprint integration. You would first have to disable the sprint integration and then you'll have the option to remove google voicemail.
All this would have to be done from http://voice.google.com of course.
thanks for the reply...problem is..i deleted my gmail acct thinking it would get rid of google voice...any other way to do it?

I think that if you just removed it you "might" be able to re-enable it again.

another question, since i deleted my google acct, when i tried to redownload root explorer from the market, its asking me to buy it again (purchased a while back)...

Not a good move my friend.
You can fill out a form and possibly get your account reactivated. Hopefully you deleted the account only recently. Otherwise you may have to talk with sprint tech support and there's only so much they can do.
Anyways, check out the link below:
http://www.google.com/support/accounts/bin/answer.py?answer=32046
Look near the top for the link to the form for deleted accounts and select "No" for the first question.
Let us know how it goes.
I have my Note from a week now and I love it,but my last phone was HTC Desire HD,and dare I say that HTC have better personalized their phones. For instance when you add a new contact it automatically suggests a fb contact to merge. This does not happen with the Note,when I deleted a contact and entered again I couldn't manage to merge them again and to put that person fb picture on his contact.
I know that there must be a way,and I am a person that has changed many phones but this is the first time that I thing that Samsung does not have very user friendly system compared to HTC.
THANK YOU IN ADVANCE.

Go to the contact and press 'join contact' and select the contact you want to join it to. Done.

I deleted my main google account from my phone because I no longer use it and I'm using a different gmail account. That account is on my phone and trying to connect everything in the Android Play Store to it, but none of my apps are connecting to it in the Play Store.
How do I connect all the Play Store apps to my other account? Thx!

You probably want to contact Google and have them move the apps over. Don't think there's another way

No... just off of my phone is all.
Just got off the phone with them and they said, due to copyright reasons, they cannot transfer over the apps to the new account. So back on my phone is my old account, BUT I will have all syncing for it turned off.
I appreciate your help!!
Good to know. Copyright reasons... Ugh

Corrected when I called Google they said that there's no way to do this because of some copywriting issue. That doesn't make sense at all since they have verified I am the same owner of both gmail accounts. So I just put my old gmail back on the phone and turned off everything from syncing so that I can just use it for the Play Store.

I had a similar issue, and I'm not sure exactly how it got fixed. Here's what I did.
1. Factory reset
2. Setup phone with new gmail
3. Add old account
4. Go to my apps in the play store and select the old gmail.
5. Download all apps
6. Remove old account from phone.
I followed these steps on my phone and all apps paid and free work fine with my new gmail.
