This problem has to do with Contacts being displayed consistently between the various APS that use them. These all worked fine and as expected until I shut down the phone. The problem started and remains after turning the phone back on. All my contacts were synced from my BlackBerry Tour by a Verizon Wireless technician at the time of the Driod X purchase. Examples of the problems I having are: Only a few contacts (mostly the defaults contacts I believe) are displayed when I launch the Contacts app. All Contacts was selected by default, and changing the selection to Favorites or Phone Contacts both came up empty. But when I press the Phone icon to make a call, and touch to display contacts, all my contacts are displayed correctly as Phone Contacts. The same problem exists attempting to select a Contact to Text. It show my previous contacts that I text with. When I try to bring up my Contacts to text someone else the same few Contacts are displayed and not my Phone Contacts. Does anyone else have this same problem?

Well for those of us that are having this problem, I just got my problem, well, not exactly solved but a work around was put in place in my view. This will take a call to Verizon Wireless Support, and get to the 3rd tier support person (they call them int...

I have the Droid X purchasedlast thursday. I am using Corporate sync for contacts, email and calendar. I did the first sync and most evertthing came over except the pictures that I have in Exchange. I tried Touchdown by Nitrodesk. That sync'd worked and download pictures. The Voice Command does not see TouchDown. So i did the copied from touchdown to native contact list. No pictures. I have no other contacts in Gmail or facebook. Any ideas short of installing each picture one at a time?Thanks,

Im having the same problem, when I go into the dialer and click on contacts I get ALL of my Facebook contacts and their phone numbers whether they are in my phonebook or not. I hadnt even noticed it until my wife was playing with my phone and started asking me who all the "girls" were and why I had their phone numbers lol. The other problem is that I technically dont have a "phonebook", I only have Facebook and Google contacts. And as far as I can tell, I have no way of transferring them without manually entering each of them. I have noticed however, the easiest way of viewing them in the dialer is to go in the contacts on the home screen and mark all your favorites by clicking the stars by their names. Other than that, if I wanna call someone or text, I have to go to the home screen contacts list and view my google contacts. I sure hope they fix this soon.

I have this same problem. My contacts were transferred over from my old phone and are not being displayed in the contacts tab, only by the contact search option. My daughter's phone, however, is displaying her contacts in the contacts tab as they were unable to transfer them from her old phone so she had to enter them manually. I hope that there will be a way to fix this problem soon.

Well, as I said I see all my contacts in the Contacts tab of the Phone app. But they aren't visible in reg. contacts. Don't forget to check to see if you have the 1.13.640 ROM update available for your device, though I don't believe it changes any contacts behavior.

Well this has been quiet for a while, and I can't imagine only a few people are having this same problem. Is there anyone else out there having the same problems with their contacts?

Mine did that too. I took it back to Verizon. They tried everything...even resyncing from my old phone. I wound up just having to go in manually and entering my contacts.

I believe I'm having the same issue, but its my MySpace contacts that have taken over. Friends have symbols in front of their names in myspace and when I edit the contact card to their proper name, it still shows in my contact list with their stars. I can't make every correct their myspace accounts lol Please Help!

Same problem for me. Once I synced Facebook, all of my non-Facebook contacts only show up in the phone contacts section. This makes it impossible to text more than one person at a time if they're not in your phone contacts.

Can the DroidX backup contacts to the installed microSD Card like the Incredible can?

Wow that was confusing!! My propblem is that all my contacts are in the the contact widget but when I pick the phone widget and go to contacts, it says I don't have any. Then I pick favorites and they don't show up in favorites under the phone widget. I guess I will have to call verizon too since you advised a call to them. Thanks for letting us know.
