When I select Phone, I go to the Contacts List. At the top of the screen I see a list of naes, with the last person I called at the top of the list. At the bottom of the screen is the virtual keyboard. I usually close that to see the full screen. As I scroll down, the contacts lst goes from people I've called, in the order I called them, to the regular, alphabetical list.
If I selected a person from the regular list, that name disappears and goes to the top of the recently called list. While I don't mind that, I also don't want the name to disappear off of the alphabetical list. Not sure if I choose to clear that list if the phone numbers go back to my alphabetical list or just disappear.
Also, I am not sure if the names are on the Verizon service or the Google account, nor do I know how to find out.
Like I said, new to Android.
You may want to use the HTC Contact Widget app.
You will need a blank screen for this.
1. Hold down on the screen anywhere
2. Pick "Widget"
3. Then pick "Browse all HTC Widgets"
4. Scroll through the APPS. The contact one is around the 30th APP....it has a bunch of people on it and it says "PEOPLE" on the top, there are 4 different type to choose from.
5. After you find the one you want, Select APPLY....you can always change by removing it and then picking another one
6. It will ask you what GROUP you want to make as your default....I always pick FAMILY
There are 2 ways to add people to that widget, you can pick the "+" sign and then pick the person....or
Go into the "People" app and pick the person you want, when their information is displayed, pick EDIT and then scroll down to where it says "GROUP". Pick that and then select what group you want, you can assign the contact to more than one group.
If you need more help let us know....I have messed with the contacts more than I care to admit too....LOLOLOL
