Problem with 3rd part contact apps

[britonk]

Hi,

I hope someone can help me. I am sure there is a simple solution to this one.

I have a HTC Desire (Android 2.1). I've tried several different contact apps to replace the system one but none of them show any contacts despire there being loads on the phone.

Most the apps have an "add contact" button which when activated diverts you to the system contact add screen but even doing it this way they don't display in the 3rd part contact apps.

All contacts display fine in the system contacts.

I've tried star contacts and contacts blast to name a couple but they all seem to be suffering from the same problem.

Thanks in advance for and help / suggestions.

Brian

Do they have a setting to let you specify where to get contacts from? (e.g., Google, Exchange, etc.)

Hi - thanks for your reply. I don't think so I couldn't find one. I have found some apps that seem to work now though including "Better contacts" and "Dialer one" (which I really recommend by the way).

So perhaps the other apps I tried just arn't 2.1 compatible yet? :-/
