On my new DHD I have a list of people that I've set as part of the Favorites group. The problem is that one of the people even after edit, and when I change the group to None, it still stays Favorites in his group list.
I can not remove the Favorites group from this contact no matter what I do, Favorites is always his group, although when I click on edit, it says None in the group list. Anyone with such issue? Any idea on how to fix this?
I've had this problem too.
Go into the start menu, open Contacts, go to the groups tab > favorites > menu > remove member.
I don't know if the translation is 100% accurate, my device is dutch.

Hi All
I am totally enjoying my HTC TOUCH HD, just wondered if there was a way that you could setup a text group ?
Many thanks
Steve
dunno about a saved group, but you can just type the beg letters of a name and it`ll let you select people - just keep adding names to the send list.?
I don't think you can set up distribution lists for mobile numbers (only email).
But, you could make some not files with all the names in and then just copy and paste into the SMS list.
ok , no problems, thanks ...

Im using... http://www.freewarepocketpc.net/ppc-download-group-sms.html
Very useful app, adds an extra menu so when you click on the recipient bar in sending sms you can select add group.
You make the contact groups in outlook on your pc then sync. Et voila, you can send/forward to groups quickly and easily.
Fantastic, thank you sooooo much !
I know how to send a text to multiple recipients, but it seems a long winded way of doing it. like selecting one recipient then going back into the contact list and doign it again.
On my Nokia E65 I could just go into my contacts list and put a check next to each name, very handy when sending a text to 30 or so people.
Is there a way to do this on Touch HD?
I face the same prob too... its kinda tiring if we have so many receipients to send to... one by one... even a low end phone can allow user to tick as many contacts at one go.. hope someone have a shortcut for this prob..
yep its a bit of a nightmare having to add contacts one by one.
what you need is something that will "Group" into your SMS composition menu.
something like this....
you can create new groups and add contacts as you see fit. then when it comes to composing the mail, just add the group you want. works really well.
i organise my 5-a-side games using this. dead handy.
This really annoyed me at first but I then found it a lot easier to just begin typing contact names into the To: field, and then using the auto list to select them rather than using the contact list if that helps.

Saves a little time, but if im sending to loads of people i might not remember their name unless i see them on the list first.
Show me the check boxes......
Try MassMessage (just check a box before each name, and send it to everyone you choose in the list) and SMSDRFIX (choose to see the number, the name, both)
can i assigne this mass message to the touchflo interdface so that launches when i click messages as opposed to the standard WM messafing centre.
I can only see it in in the start menu buttons.

In this prog you can only use groups for SMS. I have several categories (subfolders) in Outlook of my employees' e-mails. I'd like to send email to a group, not only SMS.
The other thing that bothers me is that the groups (categories) this program shows do not have complete database. For example, group "employees" has 20 entries, but only 12 show with this prog. Also if I choose "all contacts" it merely shows 10% of all I have. Any fixes? I'm using v1.4.8.
Hi guys,
Just noticed how the Nexus, when i go to messaging and compose a new SMS i cannot view my contact list and select someone. Instead i need to type the first 2 letters of their name and they appear in a dropdown box. Is their no way to bring up the contact list and choose someone?
Thankyou
Download "Handcent SMS" from the market
sorry not what i asked. Just would like to know if it is possible or not as i cannot find any results via google.

Yeah, I don't understand the logic there either. Although you could just start in your contacts list and select the text message link from there. Still not as intuitive.
Find the person first, then type the message?

Thanks so i guess its not only me that finds this simply problem annoying. I hate it when i make a mistake accidentally hitting the wrong key and need to delete. Would be such a simple process just adding via contact list.

Well... yeah. Go to your contact list, find the person, and you have a centralized screen where you can choose, inter alia, to call, sms, or email them.
add contacts to sms
Assign your contacts a label i.e. home, mobile etc..
This will solve your problem.
You might have to do this individually for each contact.
Hi - does anyone know how to edit or remove favourites on the contacts screen? None of the menu options has it (or it's not obvious). I've set up some contacts with the "wrong" default contact method and I want to change it.
Thanks.
PS unlocked Desire from Clove - arrived Wednesday 14th April.
Press - People after that Groups, select Favorites and long press over the contact

Thanks Soledue. Typical - I sort of discovered the method not long after I posted and it's how you describe. The people widget can show any group - Favorites is just one of them! Cheers.
Am I being really dumb, because I'm having a problem with this too and your solution doesn't seem to solve it!?
All I want to do is remove some people from the "Favorites" group.
I have selected that contact, chosen "Edit", opened the groups list and unchecked the box. The list on the contact's screen still shows "Favorites" and they still appear on the widget. Go back in to edit the contact and the box is still unchecked.
If I open People and then open the groups screen, select the group and long press the contact I have the following menu items: "Call Mobile", "Edit Contact", "Delete Contact", and "Send contact as vCard". Delete contact does exactly that, delete's them completely from the phone.
So how can I get these people out of the Favorites group???
It's prob cause it's still on the Google sync'd contact...had some issues with it myself

My feeling was the same, especially since I have been able to get the contacts removed from the group and widget only to have them reappear minutes later. I assumed this was the result of the phone sync'ing. But I can't quite figure it out... if I view the contact in gmail they aren't a member of the "Starred" group and there is no "Favorite" group, so I think that group must be local to the device.
I am getting the same also, if you view the details they are not in any group, yet show on the widget and in the favourites group itself. Even went to google and removed the notes that, I think, related to the group entry???
Same problem here!
I've added a contact to the Favorites Tab and now I can't delete it from the Group. I've tried all the methods from above posts but none works.
Does anyone know how to fix this, because it's quite frustrating!
The only prob I have , i that every group has " voice mail " in it .. at the top!!...
cant get rid of it .. and it's not part of grp settings
any ideas?
i would like to know that how can i remove the Voicemail number from the contact list widget? tried doing it many times but it keeps on showing no matter what. i dont have a voicemail number and if i had it, it will never be my fave number ever. please help

I have spent all day trying to remove one contact that was stuck in the favourites and your idea worked instantly.
I could remove and add other users just not this particular people.
Thank you
I have had a similar issue to all mentioned in this thread, and there is a way to resolve it.
I beleive the problem is caused by multiple entries per contact. These entries are from your contact, sim contact, google contacts etc.
This is how I fixed the issue;
>Click on the people app
>Select the contact you want to fix (unfortunately it has to be done individually)
>on the top right of the screen there will be something call "Linked", tap on this
>this now shows you what this contact is linked to. If it shows multiple phone, facebook, google etc unlink them all
>make sure you only 1 phone contact, in this set the Group to favourite (or whatever you want), now either link the google/hotmail etc ones to it, or copy the details to the contact and delete all duplicate details
I have condensed mine to phone contact and facebook (plus a few with google).
The desire links all different contact details from various form together. when it does this it picks its own default one, hence you have favourites that aren't, or vice versa.
It took me about 2 to 3 hours to go through my entire contacts list sort it out, pain-staking, but well worth it

THANK YOU!
I'd been at the groups menu and looked at my favorite contacts, but it never occurred to me to remove them from the group directly! Spent several hours editing this one contact I was dying to remove from favorites, only to find it stuck as a favorite. Went through my Google Contacts settings over and over, synchronizing manually every minute after un-starring it, but this was what I was looking for!
I registered only to thank you ^^
Im rather confussed
I have just got my ideos..
what widget r u talking about? I have no contact app.
Im wanting to deleted the people out of the "favroites" in the phone book area...
Please explain to me what to do???
thanks
I'm not sure if I'm explaining it correctly. I updated to MIUI 1.5.6 OsiMood Optimized v 1.1 w/FFC. Everything is working fine however, I can't figure out why my text messages won't sync with my contacts. Meaning when a person in my contacts texts me it only shows the number it doesn't show the persons name and pic. This is only for certain contacts not for all. I tried to update the contact with the number thats shows up in the text and it still doesn't work. I was also looking to see if there was a setting for formatting numbers but i couldn't find one. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

i am running this rom on my spare mytouch4g and running the desire z version on my att desire z. no problems. i loaded it up on my wifes mytouch4g and i am experiencing the EXACT same problems you are seeing.
Here ya go...
It has to do with the 2.3.4 branch (meaning its NOT the devs fault and will likely happen on all 2.3.4 MIUI roms).
The SMS and call logs on the new MIUI rom do not like dashes (-) in the phone numbers.
Its a small of a pain, but you will have to log into your Gmail account from your PC and edit all of your contact numbers to the format "+15055551212" (I completed over 300 last night in about an hour)...Once you have done that, On your phone go to "Settings" > "Programs" > "Manage Applications" > "All" > "Contact Storage" > "Clear Data" Your contacts (assuming they are all synced with Google) will be pushed back to the phone with the new formatting
Enjoy
(formatting them this way will NOT affect your ability to make or receive calls/SMS messages if you decided to switch to any different roms)
Hope I helped...if I did, please hit "Thanks"

+1 Good write up..
@spydagurl77 pm if u need any help...
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA Premium App
@agentaaron - thanks for the help. had almost as many contacts. wasn't the way i planned to spend my spare time but had to do it any ways.
@TDJ - awesome rom. many thanks. i love it. also i appreciate how you're vocal with audience in troubleshooting and basic conversation. you're awesome.
SOLVED!!
i'm so happy, i finally figured it out.
I found it had nothing to do with number formatting or gmail groups, however somoene pointed out that if you went to their gmail group they would show there! Only the contacts linked with a FB account were showing.
FIX:
SMS > [Menu Button] > Settings > Advanced Settings > Filter numbers > Off
That DID fix it for me, and i have a variety of number formats.
