On the HTC home screen of HTC730 you can arrange up to 8 favourite people - people you call often. I have not seen a way to change any of the entries without entirely deleting the contact from the device! When you click on the 'Favorite People' button, you see the list. The 'Menu" of the list shows '1 Contact', '2 Delete' and '3 Cancel'. So how do we replace an entry on this list with another name?
When I chose 2 Delete the contact remains in contacts. it's only in the favorite people it has been deleted.

I know this can be changed, and to my embarrisment I cannot find it on here anymore on how to do this. Could anyone please tell me the reg value I need to change to not have my TD show surnames first (who tought up this idiot setting to begin with?).
you can change it, go into contacts, edit and change it in "file as"

funny enough, that doesn't really matter. At least not with the built in BT carkit in my C4 picasso. It will still show firstname/surname.
If there is indeed a registry key to change this, I would like to know. Perhaps that DOES give the result I am hoping for.
how i writr my contacts is as follows ( works in outlook contacts aswell ) where you have to put first ,name ,middle ,last, etc just write the full name in the first name column e.g you would write the name John Smith ,with john in the first column and smith in the last colume ,but just write john smith in the first column and it should be ok .hope you understand.
This is a way of entering/adding NEW contacts to the phone. As I understood, sjaak1234 wants to change this display mode for the contacts already in the phone. Manually editting of each contact is not a good way to follow...say you have 400 contacts...edit each one of them? Gee...I event don't wanna think about it.
An easier way (as I did it in the past since I couldn't find another way) is to export your contacts from Outlook into Excel, than concatenate the two text strings "First Name" and "Last Name" into one single text string (under "First Name" for ex) and import back the file in Outlook. Then, by syncing you should get the adress book properly sorted and displayed. It should take no more than 10 min.
That's in Outlook But that setting does not exist on my phone

If you want your Contacts to be displayed as First name then Last name, use this cab else this one for the reverse.

Um,
it is great but.... what do I do? I installed it and nothing has changed in my Contacts. What am I missing?
Patrick
edit: found it, I have to tap on a contact in the contact list and select first-last and do that with every contact. I get it

Thats a standard feature, you don't need to install anything to get that.
In that case I realy don't understand what installing the cab has added

I am trying to remove a Contact from my favorites list. They are not a starred contact, but they are still in my favorites due to frequent calls. The problem is I don't talk to this person anymore. Does anyone know how to remove them from this list? I am using a N1 Froyo Stock. Thanks in advance.
long press -> remove from favourites ?

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I have tried that, but my option is add to favorites instead of remove from favorites. If I try to add to favorites it puts it at the very top, then when I remove it again it puts it back where it was to begin with.
Delete their info from your Google contacts online
Should do the trick
download "historyeraser" from the market. it gives you an option to delete contacts history (favorites) but it'll erase all favorites that are not starred.
Remove the person from the favorite group
I just got the HTC Aria. I had the same issue. When you select a person as a favorite it adds them to your google contacts favorite group. Remove the person from the group and you remove them as a favorite on your phone.
Hello,
I am using HTC Diamond 2 for 3 months already. Recently i had restored from backup all my contacts and since then in Htc SMS all names start from First name then Surname. Before Surname was the first.
When i am creating new sms message and search for contact all of them are in Surname,Firstname form. But when i point one i need it is changing by itself to Firsname Surname.
Is there any settings or tweak to change this? I need Surname to be the first, it is more convenient for me.

I do not know how to do all contacts at once, but individually you can go to Windows (Not Manila) Contact manager and select a contact\edit\file as.

Thank you Bruce for reply.
No, this does not work. I already have all contacts in Contact Manager as Surname, Firstname. Same in HTC SMS when i browse for contact to create new sms.
The name's order changes by it self in a second, right after i had add it to new sms. Also i had tried to use Vito SMS chat and there is no such problem, in all names Surname are first one. So, i guess, it is problem with HTC SMS.
Any clue?
In htc people tab all people, select contact, edit contact, scroll to bottom, select more, on 2nd page click in the field "File as". You will need to do each contact individually.
Thanks Codehunter for reply, but your answer is basically the same as Bruce's ones. I had already all my contacts with FileAs field looks like Surname, Firstname and this does not help me.

Can someone tell me why is it i can hit the plus on a txt type in the letters of a persons name and they will populate to the name so I can select to make a txt.
How ever when i go to people and type there name they are not listed in People or to be found in my contacts list.
I have clicked on phone check FB and they come up under contacts. I un check that check People so only the poeple I want on my phone will come up and they are missing. I have added them as a contacts and clicked save and still nothing " they will not show up under people "
Dont get me wrong I like androied and the features but I didnt have that issue with IOS " i went with android hopping it would change but still seem to have issues.
screens popping up, things missing and having to re add them. and etc with Android.
" just a fyi i had android for some time but left for IOS to try it out and back to android. there are ups and downs with both but seems like Android for some reason has more issues with things.

I might be misunderstanding your post, so just to clarify: there are people who you can see in the autocomplete To: field for text messaging, but are invisible in the man People app? My best guess is that you've got some contact sources deselected. In the upper left of the People app, hit the button and make sure that you've got the right contact sources checked for sync.
On that same note, if contacts are hidden from showing, why do they get populated in the text message window? For example, I don't want my yahoo contacts syncing with my Google contacts, so I leave yahoo unchecked and never syncs. However, numerous email addresses popup from my yahoo accounts when I start typing someone's name.

HTC put contact search as a different option. Under settings, choose "Search contacts by" and remove whatever you don't want.
Correct,
under my people I don't have Facebook, Gmail, Hotmail or anything checked. I don't want my phone sync with them. I only had numbers to my phone under people or contacts on the check mark I only have Phone contacts checked nothing else.
correct I hit the + to add a person type in the name and number and save it when I'm done I look for that person and they are not to be found when I just added them.

I don't think clearing does anything but hide those contacts from normal view. You're probably still syncing those contacts in (you'd have to check under Settings > Accounts and Sync). My best guess without seeing your phone setup (screenshots might help us out) is that you have your phone set to add contacts to one of the accounts that you have set not to display by mistake, and so they're all winding up in there.

Good day,
I'm using Huawei P10 and I noticed that there's no way to delete recent contacts that you texted on messaging app. Whenever you write a message the recent contacted list is showing up. How can we delete it or permanently disable it?
Thanks.
I hope someone has the answer for this.

I don't think there's a way to turn it off permanently, unfortunately, but if you would like to remove entries from it, you will need to go into your dialer, and clear the entries in the favourites tab.
Favourites get added automatically, and can't be turned off either, which is annoying, but it would be great if we could though.

Yes, I think Huawei will add an option to delete this on their new update. It's really annoying.
I just found out a way to remove it. just click "new message" and then click the image of the contact you want to erase from your text history. The contact info would show up, Press the "more" function the one with three dots. then press "erase traces". hope someone find this helpful
thanks, is there a way to remove all the contacts without selecting each.

Erasing the trace of Call History.
Sorry I mean, how to delete all recent call history showing in the Compose Message.
Currently i am erasing the trace of a call. but by doing that only that contact history is deleted. i want to delete all contact history.
No need to click the new message. just go to your "Contacts" folder. Choose a contact. Click his/her name then click the "More" button, the one with three dots. you'll find there the option "Erase trace". Click it. then, a message will pop up to ask you to "Cancel" or "Erase". Click "Erase" button (red font). then you're DONE!
Yes i got the trick or this
Just go to mobile settings
Search in search bar ( Display Recent Contacts
Then
Click on your search option you got.
Just off.
Display Recent Contacts
I hope you guys you will enjoy all
