So I'm trying to figure out how to get it to hide the sim contacts, so everything doesn't show up twice.
Thanks
Ha Ha... I get it. You are kidding, right? This has been asked and answered about 2 times... or maybe even 100 times.
Didn't someone make a thread... and a MOD made it a STICKY just for ATT TILT NEWBIES? I know pressing a search button and typing a key word into a box is difficult, but there is also a sticky just FOR YOU.
I think you should have to take some type of IQ test before having a TILT.

I did do a search for 'address book' 'contact list' 'address' 'contact'
I did NOT read the stickies (my bad)
Hide SIM
You will need a registry editor or KaiserTweak (stuck in this sub-forum).
Set HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSIM to 0 to hide.
or simple tweak applications

eh, I got bitter with the Tilt newbies on the forum also, but now i just deal with them nonchalantly, or just not at all
This setting doesnt get saved when I restart the phone with both editing in KaiserTweak and manually editing the registry? Any ideas?
When I got my first Windows Mobile phone (an Audiovox SMT5600) I fixed the problem by deleting all of the entries on the SIM. 3 WM phones later and I've never had a need to have them on there.

Hi there,
I'm fairly new to my Diamond but I love it a great deal.
There is one thing that disturbs me though and that is that I can't sort my phone book other than Name, which is "Last, First", and by Company (I don't bother about Company). I would like to be able to sort my contacts in First, Last Name order, I have a about 300 names in my list and it is really confusing when I don't find who I'm looking for anymore.
I would like to hear with you if there is a way to hack the register or any other solution for my issue.
And no, 3rd party application is not an option, sure, it would do the trick but I want to use and have easy access from the Contact tab.
All help appreciated.
Thanks!
there is a way, but it's not going to be fun, and you may want to do it on the computer in outlook instead.
Outlook on your PC and Windows mobile default to filing contacts as Last Name, First Name as you have found.
however, if you edit a contact, they both have a File as option. here you can select various different options, one of which being first name last name.
it's a bastard having to do it on all contacts, which is why you might want to do it on the computer instead.
hopefully, someone knows of a reg edit that'll fix it.

I developed an Outlook form a few years back that goes through all Contacts and sets the File As fields to First Name Last Name. Is this what you're after? I still have it but haven't used it in ages. Worked perfectly back then.
Feel free to try it (attached and I would recommend backing up your Outlook contacts in a PST first)

I will definitely try your form and I really hope that it does the trick.
But I think there should be a register hack out there somewhere.

In your contacts, on the Diamond, you have the option : "save as", but you've gotta do it manually for each one. Open a contact, tab the right soft-key (menu) choose edit, there you go

Hi Guys
Hope you can help.
I load appointments in Outlook and Sync
The appointment contains the persons name and phone number.
I would like to make a call directly from the reminder or calendar.
Using the telephone number as a hypertext link would be great.
I am normally busy driving to the client so I cant copy and paste or write the number down. Copy and paste does not work when switching to phone mode, does not allow you to paste?
Would greatly appreciate a solution!
(using Touch Diamond)
Have a look at Pocket Informant 8. When you set the appointment you have an option in the righthand soft menu to insert contact link. This then allows you to have the appointment open and access contact info directly from the appointment. Hope this is what you are after.
make a search before u post. look here:

Thanks tempest2112, Pocket informant looks like something that may solve the problem, very useful!
Apologies KukurikU, I did look at the link you provided but don’t have a clue what they are talking about. My knowledge goes as far as copy and paste and installing a program
You need to upgrade to a 1.93 based ROM which has paste function in the dialer... (this one did my head in for ages until I flashed 1.93).
Still need to copy then paste though, so you'll just have to pull over for a second... hang on a mo, you should be doing that anyway!

try the app i am recommending there. i am sure it will fulfill yr wish....i am using it for 3 years and it does exactly what you are asking for. just keep yr stylus on a meeting (for example) and if there is any telephone number in the reminder or in the note the app will inquire if you want to dial it. no copy/paste!!!

Hi KukuriKU,
I have installed contactbreeze, but the PIM extension is not appearing in OUtlook (i am checking teh notes section). I am using the SwiftBL 6.5 version of ROM.
Are you using contactbreeze with the Diamond, and did you do anything special to make it work?
Thanks!
Part 1
nothing special.
first options/tweaks/apply dial menu extension.
second, go to the appointment/task that already contain a telephone number and by "long press" you'll get the option "dial number".
i think the set of pics should be enough. for more pics see next post.
if you still have questions, contact me
Part 2-3 more Pics
Her is the end of my explanations:
ContactBreeze Works now!!

Thanks for the excellent clarification provided KukurikU! I was trying to select the number in teh notes section and then trying a long press.... this just used to bring out teh cut/copy menu item. I didnt know I had to perform the long key press in the main screen... anyway many thanks for your help - issue sorted now.
BTW ContactBreeze does solve the issue of the missing dial from PIM feature in WM6.
The only extra thing I would wish is if it could handle pauses and auto-pin entry using DTMF. For example in many of my appointments I have a conf call number and then when I dial that I need to enter a pass code (maybe 4 or 6 digits).
What I usually do is provide something like +44800345678pp321458# to dial and there is no need to enter information manually. If contactBreeze had this feature then that would have made this the ultimate soluion!!

thanks again pal, but again i tried this before (please believe that there are some ppl did searching before asking stupid questions), this app adds a tag called "Today" and add items that originally show in Today screen (but Tasks is one of them unsupported item, and even it does, it's not what i really want)

Good afternoon!
I've tried to ask these question on other forums, but almost nobody gave me an answer. There were some about different software to use, but it didn't really help. So I would be very pleased if you, dear X1 gurus, answer these question. Please, if you know the answer - write it here for me and other people. Thank you very much in advance!
The priority is: I. How to solve the problem using native software or registry? II. If and only if the first is not possible, how to solve it using different software?
1. Where in file system the vocabulary of words which were inputted before is situated? It's a vocabulary with these tooltips-words while typing. Can I get it somewhere form my phone and backup or even edit?
2. How can I check my X1 uptime?
A: As yet I know only one way: use AEButton Plus. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
3. Someone called me from number +ХХХ, I want to call him back, BUT to add a zero between + and the first digit(+0XXX). How can I do it? I can't copy this number and there is no options like "change then dial". The one and only solution for it - is to choose "send SMS" and copy the number from the "From" field! But is it useful and normal for a device which costs about 500 euro?
A: As yet I know only one way: use Inesoft PhoneEx. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
4. Imagine: you have a contact Ivan in your contacts, which has 2 phone numbers: mobile and work. Two sms arrive to your phone: one is from his home number, another is from work. Sms inbox displays both of it as "Ivan". How do I know which sms is sent from what number?
A: As yet I know only one way: use Inesoft PhoneEx. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
5. How can I copy a number which was dialed earlier or number from contacts? I see only one way(but it's weird): chose "edit contact" and copy from the field. Is there another way?
A: As yet I know only one way: use Inesoft PhoneEx. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
6. While a phone conversation how can I easily save a number which my friend is saying to me? I tried to dial it while a call is active, it's ok, but once the call is dropped, my number disappears! Yes, I can create a note using a special touch-key, but it's not useful, because I should use my keypad and then should copy that number, but I need to dial it! How can it be solved?
7. Have anybody experienced a problem while taking a photo of many different objects? I had. It happened when I took a photo of a forest - there were a lot of trees alongside each other and after pressing shot button, "Saving..." was displayed on my screen for about 15 minutes! After it said that it failed to take a photo. What it can be?
8. Where can I find all my earlier connected WiFi points and passwords? I want to save it before upgrading my firmware. Can I backup it?
9. Can I turn of a feature of turning my screen light on when I plugging my X1 to PC? I don't want this light to be turning on when I do it! Is it possible?
10. While surfing internet via GPRS/EDGE or getting my email from server, my GSM part of device seems to be "unconsciousness": when somebody calls me, I'm "out of zone". How can I fix it? I want my GSM part to be number 1 by priority!
11. I can see anything when the sun is shining. I know everybody with X1 can't. But can I "ask" my backlight to help me? For example, set it to turn maximum power when on the light, or something? I'm asking because, as I've understood, my auto-backlight works vice versa: when it's bright - it turns off, when it's dark - it turns its max power. I want max power when it's very bright too!
A: People say that screen protector with anti-glare really helps.
12. When an SMS is coming, I get a popup notification at the bottom of the screen. I can either press "Reply" or "Options". If I press reply, the chat mode opens and I can reply, seeing all our conversation. BUT if I go to my address book and choose "New SMS" on a contact, different form will be opened, just like for e-mail composing. And here is a question: how can I make this "e-mail composing" style sms appearing after I press "Reply" when new sms arrived? I know how to turn the chat mode off, but I don't need it to be turned off completely, because it's useful while reading sms from one person. I just want reply to a person using simple form. Is it possible somehow? I think that if it's can be made by hands(New sms from contacts), then it could be implemented programmatically... maybe some values in registry?
A: As yet I know only one way: use Inesoft PhoneEx. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
13. At the screens you can see screenshots from my X1 with R2A0010 and 1.14 radio: 1 hour after powering on and 2 days after powering on. Why there is such a difference in memory consumption in some system processes? Is it an ordinary thing?
A: People say that it's normal. You can correct or supplement this opinion(and please do it) if you know more on that.
Thank you very much in advance again!
Great questions, especially #6. I can't answer any of them exept #5, so I'll have to watch this thread along with you!
#5, go to call log in the phone dialer and there is a menu option to save to contacts. If you want to save it to a pre-existing contact....you will have to add a question #14 to your list
PhoneX can do these two.

Thanks for your answer. Yes, it can, just as Inesoft Phone. I've installed both of it. And then removed both in the same day. IMHO, they add some good design, but hardly can pretend on a lot more useful then original dialer. (Just for future messages, to have this thread clean, I say to myself and others(for the off-chance): I would not want to discuss any soft here, so please, let it be only tries to answer to these questions... thank you in advance)

1 - I don't know.
2 - AEB Button Plus has such a feature.
3, 4, 5, 6, 12 - I use PhoneEx sorry.
7 - Never heard of it. Upgrade your device to R3A and try again.
8 - I believe there is a text file in the Windows folder. I am not 100% sure though.
9 - Yes. There is a reg tweak, but I can't find it. Someone else should have it.
10 - Never had that problem. Are you using a custom ROM?
11 - I can see the screen very good in the sun, because I use a screen protector with anti-glare. Buy one and be amazed.
13 - It is normal.

I've been using the PhoneEx trial for a few days and it doesn't do #5 and #6. If any workaround involves tons of keypresses and program changing (during the call) to accomplish, then it fails. I think the OP is looking for a quick way of accomplishing these things during a call. Going to the notes application during a call only partly works. In order to actually use that number you may have jotted down in notes, you have to find the file and call the number from the notes file...not very elegant. There should be a means of jotting down numbers while in the dialer (without sending out tones causing your voicemail to go crazy) so that you may call or save them during or afterwards.
Also, I may be wrong but, how do you add additional numbers to a contact without copying and then going into edit contact then pasting? For example, how do you add a home number to a contact that already has a work number without manually going into edit contact and adding it. There should be a "merge with existing contact" feature within the dialer menus.
Not bashing PhoneEx, because it is pretty good otherwise. But, I am a stickler for convenience features. I hate tons of button pressing and navigation to accomplish simple things.

Just for fun My work computer can be running for month or so... Sometimes it's interesting for how much your X1 is powered on. For example, if I see any bugs on it, I question myself: "How long does this thing work? Maybe it's time for an SR?". If I found that it's only a day - I would be very curious. And if it's already a week - I do an SR without any additional thoughts That's my answer
