Help How do I delete a single contact in ICS on the nexus?

[lucidstate]

If I press on a contact it just calls them. If I long press, nothing happens. How do I get a menu with a delete option for a single contact?

I press on the contact, hit menu, then delete.

If I press on the contact it imediately initiates a phone call.

Go into contacts

Clock on the name not the picture.

Click menu on top right ........

The name and phone number are one "pressable" button. That is what I have been pressing. When I do that, it initiates a call. If I click the picture, it actually pops up a box that let's me select phone, email or text for that contact, but does not have a menu button. Does ICS have a screenshot method? Or do I have to download an app? I feel like I could explain what's going on if I could show it. I get the sneaking suspicion that my contact interface does not look like everyone else's Brand new nexus though, stock everything.

Update: Ok so I figured it out. I DO have to click on the picture, which brings up a box with phone, email or text options for that contact. THEN I have to click the name which brings me to another screen which actually has a menu with delete in it. Thanks for the help.

I know that has happened to me a few times trying to delete a contact. It puts you into hurry up mode to try and cancel the phone call so you don't look dumb...haha

If you go through the people app you won't have this issue. If you go through the dialer, well the default action is to DIAL the person's number. Its not as easy to access contact details through the dialer...as you've noticed.

yeah, I think he was going through the dialer, not the contacts...
