Contacts sync on the Orange San Francisco with Twitter

[Guest Budoc]

Hello,

I'll apologise in advance if this topic has ever come up before. I did a search of this forum for it, but the search results weren't particularly helpful.

I am a new Orange San Francisco user. Until today, I had been using the stock Orange firmware. Previously I had been able to get the contact menu to do a couple of very useful things, which I shall describe below. Today, I have flashed the Swedish Spring RLS5 as I was beginning to get frustrated with the Orange apps on the phone not working, and I also wanted to see what difference a new ROM would make.

Previously, the San Francisco was able to find duplicates in my contact list and merge them together. For example: in my contact list, I have a contact called John Smith with a mobile number, and another separate contact called John Smith with a home phone number. With the Orange stock firmware, the San Francisco amalgamated these two entries into one John Smith contact containing both numbers. I think that this may have happened automatically, but with Swedish Spring I have not managed to get this happening yet. Does this happen automatically, or is there something that I have to configure that I've forgotten about?

Similarly, with the Orange firmware, the San Francisco was able to link contact phone numbers with their Twitter pages. For example, in my contact list, I have a contact containing a John Smith mobile number, and a separate contact containing a John Smith twitter address. Eventually, the two contacts would be amalgamated into one contact containing both the phone number and the twitter profile. Does Swedish Spring do this automatically?

Pages like this seem to indicate that I could do this manually in my contact list by tapping on my contact, hitting Menu > Edit Contact, hitting Menu again and selecting Join. If I hit Menu on the Edit contact, all I get are Done and Revert options without any Join options.

I suspect that Sync options are important for me, so here is what I've currently got configured:

Menu > Settings > Accounts & sync settings:

Background data selected

Auto-Sync selected

gmail sync is on (for contacts, gmail and calendar)

Twitter sync is on (for twitter and contacts)

Twitter settings:

Sync Contacts - Sync All selected

If anyone can figure out what's going on, then I'd be very grateful.

Thanks in advance!
