My contacts SHOW UP but I can never predict which edition of a contact's details will appear.

If I get a call or message from someone with a broad set of identities --
facebook, twitter, gmail, my phone, linkedin, and so on -- any give photo and details might be used to indicate who is the caller of message sender.
I am unable to discover any rhyme or reason to which identity details get displayed. It is almost random.

If you are going to let me list the umpteen places and ways that my phone can learn about the people in my life, please give me some way to indicate which identity to use for new calls and messages. One app lets me pick with "Select default action" but then it ignores what I've selected most of the time or it asks again and again.

Computer applications are supposed to be deterministic and not {pseudo} random ... unless I'm gaming ... but phone call announcements are not games from where I sit.
