Good afternoon!
I have navigation/hands free phone in my Toyota Camry. When I send contacts from my P3600 to the phone book in the car via BlueTooth, it appears the phone is sending info in the "First/Middle/Last" format found on the "Name" line rather than the "Last/First/Middle" like a regular phonebook. If the contact sent is a company then the "Name" line is blank and so is the entry in the car's phonebook.
The first question: Can the "send contact" function somehow be reformated to send the name in the format that displays when you open "contacts"?
The second question: Is there anyway to select several contacts to send at once as a batch? Sending one contact at a time is obsurdly slow...
Thanks in advance.
Chris
the first questio .. try edit contact -- save as-- change the wat it looks.
the second Q -- if u r using WM5 the is a small app. called ppc contact manager it allow u to select all contacts .

Hi Gurus,
I have been using Nokias before and they have an option to send contact and its details as SMS.
Now..If i receive a sms from a Nokia phone which has the contact details in it to my tytn 2, i can't see the contact details..in Tytn 2
Is it because of difference in OS?
Any fix...?
Cheers.
Yes, that's because of the different OS and because there is no standard format which every system uses (as always today ). I don't think that there is a solution for that, at least not via SMS. Vie email there is the vcard format (.vcf) which is wildly supported.

When you get such an SMS and open it (and dont see any details) do you see an "Accept" button in the left bottom corner? in the place where normally you would see a "Reply" button? Reason for asking is - some one sent me a contact via SMS today. On opening the message, I saw only a blank screen but noticed the "Accept" in the left bottom corner. I tapped on it and found that the contact info (all details) was addeded in teh contacts list (although the message itself showed me only a blank screen)!!!!
I tried this yesturday on win mobile 6, from nokia e65 and it said :
You received (something like vcard or contact) from SenderName, do you want to add NAmeFromCard to your contacts?
So it works great for me, stock ROM. But i couldn't receive calendar vCal card
IS there anything that might help this be done?
I got my Diamond last Thursday and have been using it with my secondary sim whilst I got used to the phone and became used to using it intuitively... I am happy to say I am now completely comfortable with it and it is *almost* perfect!
Changes:
*Bepe 0.97 FIXED
*Diamond Advance Config tool
*S2U2
*Comm Manager advance.
Thank you to all the great people working to made this device all it should be! Donations forthcoming very soon!
I have just a few questions with regard to my remaining issues:
*The contacts summary page which comes up after ending a call, any way to suppress that?
*Is there any way to bluetooth contacts, files (pictures/music etc) to and from another mobile phone? I tried transferring a jpg image, an MP3 ringtone and a contact via bluetooth from a Sony Ericsson W880i but all three failed!
*Is there any way to display contacts as FORENAME SURNAME as opposed to SURNAME, FORENAME?
Thank you in advance for any advice regarding the above
Anyone?????
Think I might be able to help you out there.
1. To get rid of that contacts thing at the end of a call, tap Phone on the Home screen, then tap Menu and then Options. Go to the Advanced tab right at the end and untick "Add new phone number to Contacts at end of call".
2. To receive files of any kind over bluetooth, you have to have Bluetooth turned on in the Comm Manager, but you also need to have the Beam option turned on. If you have the modified Comm manager then you should be able to see the Beam option in there.
3. All my contacts show up as "forename surname" already, I think it might be to do with how you have it set up in Outlook, because I remember Outlook had it "surname, forename" by default and that drove me mad until I changed it. Hunt around in Outlook to change the way they're displayed, then do a sync, and I'd say that should do it.

Thanks for taking the time to reply Dave!
The contact summary still seems to come up I did untick this box a few days ago and maybe its a bug but the screen still appears on finishing a call.
I turned on Beam and the bluetooth file transfer now works just fine, thank you!
I will sync up when I get home and have a play around with Outlook, thanks for the suggestion I think that will remedy this problem too.
Is there an advanced contact manager or SMS manager out there by chance? Sending and receiving a few SMS today and the whole transition from TF3d to the WM is a bit jarry, and browsing contacts isnt really possible without the stylus... so far these are the only small niggles in day to day use! The latest version of S2U2 really helps usability and allows you to lock the hardware buttons when you get an incoming call... no more calls answered by mistake with this app!
No bother.
I never manually browse the contacts list because it scrolls very strangely, its impossible to successfully pick a contact.
The best way to select a contact when sending a text, I've found, is to type the first letter or two of their name, eg "DA" and then everyone with a name starting with DA is listed, eg DAD, DAVE etc. Much better than scrolling a list. Its the same behaviour when making a call and you want to select a contact; just bring up the Phone app (the one with the keypad) and start typing their name on the number pad.
I agree though that the process of moving from TF3D to WM6 when sending a text is very clunky. I wonder would HTC consider developing their own TouchFlo messaging software that covers all aspects of sending SMS and email. Unfortunately the iPhone still has the advantage there; you still have to get out the stylus every now and then on the Diamond.
I have most of my most frequently used numbers under the People tab in TF3D... good suggestions as above though.
May give this a try if I cant get along with the SMS...

Hi
I'm trying to add a mail address from a received mail to an "old" contact; when I tap on the address i can choose between "Send email" or "Save in contacts", but the save options let me just save it as a NEW contact.
Same thing happens when I try to add a number from an SMS to an old contact...
Is this a bug? Is there a fix?
Thanks!!!!
Does it work if you turn off TF3D?
Hi!
Annoys me as well, I guess that this is one of the great features that the designers over at HTC came up with.
Actually you can do it for SMSs from "unknown" numbers, by tapping the SMS (from a unsigned number) in the TouchFlo SMS tab you will get a contact page for that phone number. If you then slide the tab selector left to the contact card icon, you can hit save at the right soft button. Then the contacts list will open and you can choose an existing contact to add the number to, and even choose what kind of number this is (work, office, private, etc)
The problem is that if you hit an email from the TouchFlo email tab the regular winmo messages application is launched instead of the TouchFlo messages application used for SMS.
The ideal situation would be that emails where handled in the same way as SMSs

PK

dude, it's almost 200 messages, it is going to cost him too much! or maybe I didn't get what u said, would u be a bit more clear?
I guess this is a late reply but I just got me a K850i yesterday.
Love these classic SE phones and wanna have one of each model.
This is the way I could come over the problem of sending SMS to another phone (To my main phone, the Desire HD)
Saved messages is stored on the SIM-card so an USB Sim-card reader for PCs could save a lot of tedious work
Else...
I had only three messages to send to the DHD.
Open/View the message and select "Options" - "Save the message".
Back two steps to the Messaging main screen and choose "Saved messages"
In saved messages select "View" - "Options" - "Mark & Copy".
For the whole message, insert the marker at the beginning and press "Mark" keep marking the full message and select "Copy"
Now...
Go to the "Main Menu" - "Organizer" - "Notes"
In "Notes" Highlight "New Note" and press "Add"
"Options" - "Copy & Paste" - "Paste" Your complete SMS should now be a Note file, just Press "Save"
At last...
Back to the "Notes" first screen, Highlight your SMS/Notes and "Options" - "Send" - "Via Bluetooth"
You should at first...
Have paired your phones by Bluetooth.
Found that my three SMS (in total less than 100 characters) took up 15% of the SIM-storage space.
Notes files sent to a PC will get the *.vnt prefix.
Sent from my ASUS laptop tethered by Wifi to the Desire HDs Internet connection.
Hello:
When I'm editing details of contact at the phone book I see that the person have a connection with whatsapp and I can see the nickname that I saved him at the beginning, and now I want to change this nickname - how do I do it?
from the phone book it not editable, from the whatsapp there is no access to this information.
what is the way?
Thank you,
You have to rename the contact in your phonebook. There actual name that linked with the normal phone number. Then refresh whatsapp

i did "Separate" at the phone book and it's disappear and i cant "join" them together.
i changed the name of the contact in my phone book and then there was 2 contacts with the same number and different names so i "join" them together.
how do i refresh the whatsapp?
In the whatsapp contact list hit the option button next to your home buttom and a refresh option should be one of the options, refresh contact list.
I understand you and i tried this and it didn't succeed (the old nickname still stay at the phonebook) so i uninstalled whatsapp and than install it again.
Thank you anyway
That's weird, I'm sorry I couldn't help. You did mean contacts nickname not your nickname on whatsapp right?
I mean when i'm editing contact at the phone book it's shows that he connected to a contact from whatsapp (same contact and jt' right and good) but the name of the contact that the phone book shows from the whatsapp is the first name that i typed when i saved the contact at the phone book.
Thank you
