This has been a minor, but annoying, nuisance in all versions of the Android OS.
When I store a number in the XXXXXXXXXX format, it displays as such. When someone calls or texts and I store their number, it stores in the "+1-XXX-XXX-XXXX" format. When a number is retrieved from Facebook, it typically appears in the "1-XXX-XXX-XXXX" format. And so on. In this day-and-age of electronics prowess, are these so-called "smart- phones" not able to recognize that all of these numbers are the same? They all result in dialing the same number. When I open my phone book, when I press on a name, sometimes two, three, or as many as four entries could pop-up, all pertaining to the same phone number. It seems to me that this would be an easy fix. Android should be able to easily filter these out, and display only one number for a contact if there are duplicates. Additionally, Android should standardize the way it stores numbers (ie make them all "XXX-XXX-XXXX" or else "XXXXXXXXXX"). I have had the same number stored for different people before, one was, eg, 123-456-7890 and the other was, eg, 1234567890. The only way to find these duplicates is through the GMail contacts list (which, similarly, should be standardized in the way it stores and displays numbers), and they are difficult to track down since GMail, likewise, does not recognize these as duplicates. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Discuss" group.
