Although it's cool that they added a merge feature. My phone still shows several copies of certain contacts even afterwards. Oddly, it's not all contacts. I don't know why and can't figure out how to fix it. Any ideas?

I'm thinking this is more of an issue with the People app than with the widget, but here is my issue.
Just rooted my wife's Hero from 1.5 and flashed Fresh ROM 2.3.3. Previously, in the HTC people widget she was able to add two different contacts for me, one to call work and one to call cell. I'm guessing she did this through adding both contacts to the favorites group that was used for the widget.
When adding the new widget there is only one contact for me, and when editing the favorites group there is no option to add a second entry for me with a different contact method.
Without adding a completely separate contact for me with the second phone # is there any way to fix this?
Thanks.
Check to see that the two Contacts of you aren't linked together as one. Sometimes the People app will automatically Link two contacts that have the same name, and you may need to go manually un-link them. Look at the very top right of the Contact screen
Just got my Captivate and I'm enjoying learning its features. The volume is not loud enough to suit me, but I guess I can learn to live with that...
One thing that I'd like to resolve is this:
All of my entries in Contacts work fine, except for one. The issue here is that even though I've entered the 10-digit phone # for that entry when I created it, when I try to use Messaging to that person, the top of that screens only shows their name and their *seven*-digit phone number when I message them. Consequently, as soon as I attempt to send them a message, I get the error about not having a 10-digit phone # properly configured.
I've tried deleting that Contact and reentering it. Have tried setting up a different Contact and then editing. Have tried taking out the external SD card. Still getting this issue. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Which type of contact is it, I.E. Phone, SIM, Facebook, Gmail, etc.
I've tried storing the Contact to both SIM and Phone. Same error results in either case.
ok so I know the captivate won't allow me to choose which gmail contact groups to sync (although other phones do, wtf), and I've told it to only display contacts with phone numbers, and I've also chosen to display only a certain group.
my problem is when choosing a contact to send and sms to it shows ALL contacts so I have a bazillion sale****@craigslist.com to sort through... using the search allows me to find what I want, but as a bit of a perfectionist it bothers me that this one little hiccup is left in my setup.
is there anything to be done about this? I'm ok using a different contacts program, or even a different sms program, so long as this issue is resolved.
Ok, I have lurked threw every post I can find on here and haven't found a fix yet. I did the tethered update and followed the posted instructions. My phone is not rooted btw. Anyways, I did the update and everything seemed to work fine until I got a phone call. My contacts are not showing up when someone calls, but they do when I receive texts. I tried the FutureDial thing and tried to import my contacts and it didn't pull anything except for my number even tho it still has all my contacts showing in the contacts. I did a factory reset and its still having the problem, and the contacts are still listed. I'm going to try to reinstall the update and see if that helps. But after this I am all out of ideas. I am sure I'm not the only one with this problem. Has anyone figured out how to fix this?

Hey man. There is already a thread on this issue. Please don't start new threads about topics that already have a thread. We don't need a bunch of multiple posts about the same thing. Maybe mod could move this or delete???
All you Have to do to get all of your contacts back is wipe your phone by doing a factory reset and themn run MyBackup and it should recover all of your contacts.
***No contact list***
Once I updated to 2.2 from 1.6, my unrooted ZIO worked great, but my contact list only showed a few contacts which I had deleted a long time ago. None of my current contacts showed up. However, the text messages, all had the names, and you could access the contact's info from the messages, same for the call list. I tried everything to get the list to show, but backup would not add any contacts, as they were clearly somewhere on the phone already. What I wound up doing that worked, was I copied all of my files (including contacts file) from the SD card onto my pc, then formatted the SD. Then I did the factory reset on the phone. Then I recopied the previous SD contents back to the Sd, but only the contact file, music, pics, etc. Nothing that looked like it was for the operations on the phone. Then I brought up the empty contact list on my factory fresh looking phone, and imported the contacts. Finally. Even Cricket could not help me with this, and just opened a ticket on it. Hope it helps.
My contacts just take the first ring before the name shows up. Try letting it rung a little longer maybe once or twice. Contacts should show up. Btw. All my contacts were synchronized with gmail not mybackup. Who still uses mybackup on android rofl!
Option94 is right. There is a stick in general for KNOWN ISSUES.

Hey there, i have a rather odd problem. The contact app crashes if i select the owner entry, i.e. my own entry.
I'm running CM11, so I'm on the stock rom. Except for this small issue, everything thing is working fine.
Just for your information: The contact was working, but after an edit it just started to crash.
So, what can I do about it?

UPDATE:
After a bunch of research, i had made a forced re-sync of my contacts, delete and reboot, the problem still persists. I.e. the data over at google hast to be corrupted as well. What can i do about it? I really need that feature, because i use my own contact to share my contact data quickly to other people.
Yes i could make a new entry, but that would generate redundant data and doesn't fix the problem at all. It's just a workaround.
Sorry guys, but i have to push this thread... still not resolved!
EDIT/UPDATE:
Narrowed down to the mobile number used by the phone... i.e. if i add the number used by the phone, to any contact, the app will crash.
