I've a little question. I think most of u all saw the youtube movies of Gearz. He tested the Diamond. One of the tests was "phone". When he ticked the numbre of a contact, the phone gave the matches.
Short exp. a contact with numbre 091234567
So all my contacts stands in Outlook and when i sync them, the numbre is +32 (9) 1234567. So when i tick the numbre (091234567), he won't give me any match. Now is my question, how to solve without changing in my outlook?

Hello,
i have since yesterday a problem, syncing my contacts.
Yesterday i wanted to call my GF and i found out, that that her contact isn't on my diamond. At monday it was...
So i though "ok, maybe i deleted it" so i looked today on my outlook and saw, that the contact of my gf exists. So i connected my diamond and wait for the sync, it tells me, that it was synced and then i checked again for the contact on both sides. But its on outlook and not on the diamond
I also tried to rename the contact, but same problem happened
I also did a soft reset on the diamond
Can anyone help me?
Thank you,
Selfarian
Just check the sync settings again (on the pc)
make sure that CONTACTS option is checked.
Hello LordRaj,
thank you for your fast answer.
I checked it. I unchecked the box, checked again... same problem.
Now i tried to create a completely new contact, for testing, and it appeared after the sync on my diamond. But not the "old" contact of my GF
Confusing...
ohh and also, there is an option where it replaces items on outlook OR replaces items on your phone.
Given that you are missing items on the phone, make sure that you choose the option to REPLACE ITEMS ON THE DEVICE and NOT on the computer (at least for this time).
If this does work .. when you are done.. switch the settings to update the outlook info with the one on your phone.
:S checked this option and it's already set to replace items on device...
So .. NEW Contacts ARE Syncing.. but your Gf's isn't!
Well that IS wierd.
Yes. When i create a new contact, it's synced, but the confusing thing is, that my Gf's contact is only in outlook and not on my diamond... even if i change her name on outlook ...
Maybe my diamond is jealous of my gf or doesn't like her
Err.. this is perhaps the lamest suggestion.. but.. wth.. could it possibly be first name / last name thing?
(I don't know anyone who would put up his gf's contact as first name last name.. but... )
Scroll the contacts.. and see if it got saved as the last name first (**** happens)

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Whatever you do mate.. don't ever mention that to your girl...
Hehe i saved my gf with firstname and lastname
But i also tried to search for her first and her lastname... but both tries had no result...
ok..
Final suggestion..
You do have the number in outlook, right.
go to the phone dialer.. physically enter the phone number and then hit call..
see if it displays a name..
(this is just to be a 100% sure that it isn't in your contacts)
No offence mate, but this is definitely wierd.. and it's better to be 100% sure
if the above doesn't display a name..
DELETE your gf's contact from outlook..
make a NEW contact with your GF's name.. and then sync
(may be.. JUST MAY BE there MIGHT be a problem with the fields entered in the existing contact file for your gf's contact)
Lol... Problem solved
Thank you LordRaj... i am so stupid...
I also saved the companyname.. i'm unshure, how it happened... but in the "save as..." field was not her first and lastname, there was the company name... damn... shame on me, that i didn't check this -.-
sorry... Thank you very much for your help
There you go...
BTW..
GF's info.. mate.. first name.. last name.. company name..
hmmm
a little .. out of ordinary.. don't you think
Don't tell me.. you have put up the details for the 'manager' and 'assistant' as well!!!!!
hm... so i never forget her name and company name even if i'm drunken
Maybe i should write in notice or category "this is my gf"
Shure... your right ....
LOL!!!
Too cool...
Hello guys. it may be a simple question but I cannot find an answer for this.
I only have the option to sort it by last name.
how can I change to first name listing?
thanks alot!!!
I got the same problem (I used to sort my contact with first name too...)
but seems wm doesn't give any options how we can sort the contact.. sigh...
I think that the only way is to reverse the surname with the name tag in Outlook, at least I have done so.
Full name, I put them in the same field as if it were a composite name and I left blank surname, then if you want the last name first, just invert.
Other methods I have not found for the diamond, there was p3600 shows by name or surname
I found a way.
At Leas on my mac.
I tried 2 softwares to synchronize my Contacts with Diamond..
*SyncMate
- Syncs all goo but no option to sort First Name.
*Missing Sync
- Perfect. Lots of options including sort First or Last Name.
iCal sync, tasks, everything you would expect and more.. it goes even further providing SMS/MMS syncing, itunes, iphoto...
incredible.
If you are like me and uses your HTC Diamond to sync with a Mac for me there's no better choice!
http://www.markspace.com/missingsync_windowsmobile.php
Search for the tiny program called "Contact Changer" This does what you want
Hope this helps.
sync the Diamond to the Outlook on your pc.
In Outlook, select the display method as First Name, Last Name.
Sync again to get the sorted contacts back to the diamond.
or..
change the FILE AS field as required (will take time as this has to be done one by one)
Hello, so I just got my Diamond about a week ago, so after setting up all my settings, rom and all that, I started adding pictures to my contacts, the problem is, I can't add pictures to a contact or even add a contact to the TF3D tab, because activesync will start making duplicates of those every time i sync with outlook. This never happened with my kaiser, so i even tried out some more roms, and i always have the same problem...
eg.
Create 1 contact, it syncs ok.
Add a picture to the same contact, active sync will create a duplicate and add a picture to the duplicate.
Try to delete any of the contacts, original or doubles, active sync will just keep cloning it till i remove the pic...
I've searched around before someone comes and flame, and i found nothing related to this issue, any idea what could be happening?
Very weird. 90% of my contacts have pictures and this doesn't happen.
are you also making a sim contact or outlook contact? are sim contatcs set to display?
Outlook contact, sim contacts set not to show. It didn't happen before with my Kaiser either.
Tried creating them on outlook or on the diamond and both result in a cloning, tho for some reason, now if i try to add a picture with iContact instead of HTC Album, the picture fails to sync, but at least it doesn't double the contacts, so i found a half-solution.
do you have WM live! messenger sync options set to sync contacts with phones contact list?
A little update.
I hadn't even ran Live! on the diamond once, but I noticed that the contacts would duplicate on Outlook only when I logged in or out of my MSN.
So now I sync'd the contacts on the diamond with Live! and they don't duplicate anymore, i still can't sync pictured but at least now i don't end up with 10 contacts of the same person.
If i add a picture on an outlook contact on the pc or through Htc Album, it doubles the person, if i add a picture using iContact, it does not sync the picture but doesn't clone the contact either, so i have it +/- fixed, even tho i'll have to add a contact, let it sync to outlook and only after add a picture.
In activesync and in wmdc there is an option under sync settings for contacts to either replace or combine contacts.
I'm guessing you've got it set to combine.
I'm an android noob, just came over from the iPhone camp so please bear with me..
I've had the sgs for a couple of days and so far been trying to get a good handle on managing my contacts...
I used to backup / sync my iphone in itunes and my company outlook. I had a recent backup of my contacts in outlook, so the easiest way to get them on the android was to sync them over...
Now they show up in my corporate group.
Then I sync'd my facebook and it did a decent job of linking most of my contacts (I really like the way android does this as opposed to iphone)
I also had a recent list of contacts on my sim since I had been iphone-less for a couple of months and was using the old nokia flipper.
Now I have a couple of questions...
I've got my contacts display options only showing me the corporate and facebook groups (with phone numbers) .. so the list looks good !!! however when I send or receive a text message, it also shows all my sim contacts. A few of my sms threads were linked to the sim contact (only first name, no picture etc) .. the only way i found to resolve this was to delete that particular contact off my sim...
question 1) how do you delete all sim contacts ? (couldnt find a select all)
question 2) do I really have to delete my sim contacts? or can I disable it altogether so it won't show anywhere in my phone
question 3) next time I get some cute girl's phone number, it'll get stored as a "phone" contact .. how do I keep my corporate (outlook) contacts in sync with phone contacts... or can I put her number right in the corporate (outlook) group so it stays in sync with my exchange account ..
I don't want to end up with a bunch of numbers as phone contacts and another bunch as outlook / corporate contacts. I'd like to be able to back it all up somehow (like itunes would backup the iphone and sync with outlook)
Thanks for your insight and wisdom
if you are having trouble using Kies to manage your contacts, you can try this better alternative

I installed android manager .. still no way to delete all sim contacts !!! amazes me why such a simple task is just not possible...
well good thing i have my 8 year old nokia phone that does it for me
Also annoying that I cant just turn off sim contacts so I won't have to delete all of them (another thing 8 year old nokia just does!)
indeed we have apps like this
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.shao.Copy2SIM
to copy contacts to SIM
but we have nothing to manage contacts from SIM
LOL
That's cool .. I plugged the sim in the nokia and wiped all of its contacts .. not the android doesnt get confused anymore..
now if i could only find that patch to fix my sms time stamps .. i'd be a happy android camper.. I tried 3rd party sms apps, but they dont seem to read my "exchange corporate" contacts .. so every text shows with just the phone number .. sigh
to hide your sim contacts on samsung galaxy S use the options :
contacts->menu->display option->choose contacts to display "UNCHECK SIM"
hope this helps
hey. was just wondering if there's anyway to sync selected groups of contacts instead of every damned one on my list.
reason is that i don't want hundreds of e-mails clogging up my contacts list.
sure, i can show only contacts with numbers. but there are some contacts which i only have their e-mails.
thanks!
i'm looking for something similar myself
i got several email accounts (more than 15) that i sync with and you can imagine the huge mess of contacts i have in my phone when i pull up the list to search for an email or phone number
i'm trying to find a way or something to organize all that
also to sync it all across all the accounts
or something along the line
just to clean them up and make it easy to the eyes
i have no problem finding the number or email of the person i need to contact
it just eye soring to see over a 1000+ contacts when you bring up the list to pick from the list.
good lord Android came with an awesome search build in, else it would have been a major pain in the arsenal as it was with Windows Mobile and PalmOS and every other smartphone i've ever had before, even Blackberry sucked at contacts handling
ah well. looks like for now i have to show only contacts with phone numbers. and add some random numbers for the important contacts that i only somehow have their e-mail addresses. bummer.
