Help same number, different people

[shenga]

this is driving me nuts.

I have set up my work number on the phone under favorites with photo (A) etc. I have other contacts who are skype contacts and work in the same company. They have the same number in their profile. Problem is, When I actually dial work, it shows photo (B) which is one of my colleagues in the display but I want photo (A) to show.

how can I change this ?

How about trying:

Create a new contact which is your company and put your company's contact number there.

Technically by dialling the number - the phone should first reference the contact that is manually added on your phone.

See if that works.

thanks for replying.

I actually did that.

Deleted the company entry on the phone. Deleted it from Google as well. Deleted the skype contact on phone and skype PC.. Redid the company entry on Google, synced, still associated with the damn skype contact although I deleted it !

Stumped.

What I'd do if that fails, is to manually set the default number of the contact that pops up on dial - to a number thats not of the company... that may be troublesome if there a lot of contacts...

the same idea in this aspect would be to create each individual contact and have their fb/skype/etc details merged into that contact so you can force by default the numbers names and other details contained.

If that fails as well, then I'm stumped as you are...

Thanks for that.

It was sort of driving me mad so I ended up installing a new rom. I let Google sync everything again and now its back to normal even with the skype contacts. Strange eh ?
