Basically every time I open a link mostly on email it only takes half the url If there's numbers in it, and thinks the other half is a phone number and tries to save it when clicked. It does it when trying to copy things with numbers in as well it's really getting on my nerves is there any way to fix this?
Try a different email app.
It's not just on email though it's whenever a number is present

I'm interested in how you all are managing multiple instances of each contact? When I go to send a text message, sometimes I'll have three instances of the same phone number, an email or two, and sometimes other numbers through in as well (work, cell #2, etc.). It could be that I'm missing a critical option to turn off these multiple instances, but I'm sure I'm not alone is this.
So, how are you managing multiple instances of the same contact?
Any suggestions?

You should have the ability to link them to one contact. At the top of the contact card there is a link icon, click it and you should have options to link all of the same contacts together.

Yeah, they're all linked, but I think maybe my issue is that they become un-linked when I go to send a text message. So, I have to scroll through each instance of each person. I should have been more specific in my first post.
Issue solved by switching to Handcent. Hoping my MMS works now.
Sad that the stock messaging app shows you all of the phone numbers listed for a person. Luckily I only have about 25 people in this address book so it doesn't get too confusing. I am thankful they at least put "Mobile" in to distinuish different types of number I would be lost!
I hope (but am very sure) that this is the right place to ask...
The situation: ich use the mobile contract of my company, which I may also use privately. However, in this case I have to dial *+150# as prefix before the number. For text messages the prefix is just 150.
Sure, one could save the targetnumber already with the prefix - but since it is two different ones, the mapping from the phone book doesnt work...
Replying to a text message, it is sent to the sender's number, instead of to the one with a prefix saved in the phone book. (The Hero is able to map the sender's number to the according phone book entry (incl. prefix))
I'd like to change my Hero in such a way that whenever I dial a phone number of a certain group (e.g. friends), the respective prefix would be prepended. Similar, for text messages the respective msg-prefix (150) shall be prepended.
Do I have to root the phone in order to realize these functions? And above all, how would I implement my ideas?
Cheers,
kermit
Now there is nothing hundred percent like that however you could save to numbers to the contact instead of one number for each contact
hi strider96, thanks for your comment. Well, I tried this already. But as I indicated, when replying to text messages, the system will not reply to the numbe saved in the phone book, but reply the exact sender number (which is without prefix, in standard international format usually). Moreover even if this would work, as I said, when having two different numbers in the phone book (due to the two different prefixes), android does not neccessarily map the correct phone book entry an incoming message.
Instead of editing the Android system at a basic level, I was thinking about an app similar to the one used for calling cards. There the standard phone book entry would be extended by a respective prefix. No idea how I could realize this.... Still, this wouldn't be such a nice solution, but at least it would be one...
Something is up with my contacts. If I search for some people I'll get the result and see their number under their name. When I tap the name the contact opens but no phone number is listed, just all the other contact items.
For the contacts this happens to I can only call them from the diaper contacts list with the green phone icon. Even then it's random as to what number it calls if they have more than one.
Anyone else seen this behavior and/or know of a fix?
Apparently, you're not the only one with the problem. I guess it's the new blur thing. For example, my girlfriend's info, I can see everything but her phone #'s under "Contacts", without the green call icon. As far as it being random to what # it calls... I haven't had that problem... I do understand your frustration with it though but nothing's major with your phone, it's just a stupid perk moto made.
Thanks for the feedback. At least I'm not going to do a factory reset now to try and fix it. I'll just hold tight for an update and or a cool rom.
I've noticed that it happens on contacts that have facebook accounts attached. Deleting your facebook account from "my accounts" might fix it, I haven't tried. If you go to the contacts list under the phone program it will allow you to access the numbers.
This is a really strange problem and I'm hoping someone can help me with it.
For some reason on my Treo Pro, there is this one specific random phone number which, although I can add it to a new or existing contact and it will show up correctly under that person in the Contacts app, does not seem to be recognized, remembered or associated throughout the rest of the phone.
Meaning, if I get an incoming call from that number it shows up as an unknown caller, displaying the number but no associated contact name. If I check my call log the number shows up there, rather than the contact name. Also in text messages, it just shows as the number by itself, again rather than the contact name to which it belongs. If I tap on that number in the SMS dialog, it tells me "This person is not in your contact list..." and asks me if I want to add them. And whether I add that number to an existing contact or create a new one for it, nothing changes. If I tap the number again, it still tells me it is not in my contact list. Over, and over, and over again. It just will not "stick" or take, permanently.
There is nothing odd about the actual number itself. It's the exact same format as all the other numbers in my contacts (1-416-xxx-xxxx). And I've tried adding the number in every possible way, with and without area code, '+' sign, '1' in front etc.. nothing makes a difference. I've rebooted the phone after adding it, and still no effect. It just will not recognize this phone number as belonging to a contact, even though under the contact it appears correctly, and I can call or text it from the contacts app.
Is there any reason this would be happening, or any way to fix it? Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks...
I have the same frustrating problem on my Treo Pro - contact names do not display even though they are saved to phone memory. The only solution I have found is to delete the contact and create a new one e.g. from the number that appears in call log or SMS. I presume the reason is Sprite Backup doing somethig wrong with the databases when restoring contacts after hard reset.
I apologize if this issue is somewhere in this forum. I've been searching for the better part of an hour and I haven't found anything close, to the issue that I'm having.
Problem: when I send a text message to multiple contacts, for some reason, all of the phone numbers for people in the list, show up as part of the phone number, for the last person on the list from that point forward. For example, suppose that I send a tm to Joe, Mary and Sam. Their phone numbers are 222-222-2222, 333-333-3333 and 999-999-9999, respectively. When I get a reply from Sam (who's the last person on my list of recipients), the msg shows up as being from "222-222-2222;333-333-3333;+1999-999-9999". Note that the +1 has been added only to the last number.
The first time that this happened, I had to delete the contact record for the last person on the list (Sam in this example), turn off the device, restart and manually enter a new contact record. Now that process doesn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
