Hi all,
This is very strange!
1) on the contact tab the all contact option does not work
2) I can see only the favorites contacts
3) I can insert only 15 favorites contacts
4) to go to a contact i need to browse all contacts till that one (there is no alphabetic shortcuts
5) there isn't any find/search option.
I'm a newbie so can some one tell me if it's the original stings or i did something, is there anything I can do ?
regards
Tal
1) on the contact tab the all contact option does not work
Click on all people soft key on the left side and you will see all contacts just the same way yo reached it in point no.4
2) I can see only the favorites contacts
The same answer like #1
3) I can insert only 15 favorites contacts
Yes thats true
4) to go to a contact i need to browse all contacts till that one (there is no alphabetic shortcuts
Alphabetic shortcuts appears in the right side of contacts dont us see it?
5) there isn't any find/search option.
Yes there is... on the top of contacts there is a filed you can click on it to enter the name or first characters of the name you are searching for and the keyboard will appear automatically to let you write
If you are looking for someway to find names to call I think smart dial will be a good way for you .. just open the phone and start writing the first characters or numbers and it will show you the appropriate names / numbers by searching in all contacts and call history

the TF3D has only place for 15 contacts and if u want more then it takes you to the normal contacts of the phone itself and HTC has its own alphabetical order and the search option is above the contacts page. and u can use alphabetical letters right side of the contacts page .In TF3D itself there is no option to search for contacts or to see all contacts there that would have been very handy if they had integrated the contacts program directly into the TF3D but its not !! maybe next relaese over the coming years !!
1. Nothing happens when i click all people soft key on the down left side
4. Nothing on the right hand side (no alphabetical short cuts)
5. there is no filed to search
Maybe there is a way to activate it from the registry ?
My rom is 1.93.456.2 wwe
Regards,
Tal
The same like my rom
I think there is some problem happened while you update the rom ... becase this is an error .. did you try to hard reset?
Did you install language pack ? For example czech sunnysoft language pack do this - if you install it, it cannot be possible to open contacts
I installed the P.D.A.C Hebrew language.
Is it possible to correct it via the registry ?
PLZ,
Can any1 help me i can't see all my contact just the favorites ones.
need an expert!!
regards,
Tal
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.

Carty..
That's great,
thanks a lot

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

hi there!! i wanted to know if there is possible to sen d an sms to more than one person at the same time... in my older nokia, i could creat group in contacts, or when i sent messages i could check the contact and tick those i wanted to sent messages at the same time for all...
but i don't know how to do it in diamond...
Add Recipient, then go and add next recipient then add next recipient?
if your going to mail all of them often save on in drafts and reuse it
EDIT: In the SMS go to NEW then in right down corner go to menu->Add Recipient
no, that's not the ideia...
what i want is to send one message but not just to one person, for example, i want to send a message saying "good xmas" to 50 persons at the same time...
but i don't know how to do that..
When in the new message, in "To:" click add recipient under menu, find the person you want, add him, and then click add recipient until you get all the recipients you want.
it works the same way as a email in Outlook. (on your PC)
I think this freeware is what you are looking for:
http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=group_sms
Erm, are u Trolling ?? Diamond is capable of sending to multiple people one SMS in one step, just do a new SMS
then go to menu-> Add recipient for the 1st person
then go to menu-> Add recipient for the 2nd person
then go to menu-> Add recipient for the 3rd person
... and so on
and all will get ur Happy Xmas
as i sayed earlyer ... so whats the prob bro ?
Exactly what I'm looking for as well, although the application posted above is good, is there anything which adds tick boxes to contacts so that you can select more than one contact instead of groups.
I know you can add and then add again but that is just annoying especially when you move from Nokia to WM...
just start writing their name in, then select them when i suggests the right person, and then start writing the next one!

Was that directed at me?
If your read the original request properly, the OP is looking for a way to send messages to many people without having to repeatedly tap "add recipient". You haven't provided a solution.
If you read the link I've posted, you'll see that it adds the ability to select any number of contacts using check boxes without the irritating repetition.

The above application does allow individual contacts with check boxes. After selecting a group, including the "All Contacts" group, the next screen has the check boxes.

I see.
The OP wasn't very clear, I guess I only understood him (or her) because I had been looking for a similar application. He also failed to thank you for your original suggestion.
However, it's best to not to acuse people of trolling just because you haven't understood their question!
sorry guys... i couldn't use my internet for a few days, so i couldn't read alll these messages.... first, i want to thank for the help...
and them maybe i wasn't so explicit as i should be.... but what i want is a way to could send one sms to a lot of people from my contact, but avoid to add recipient, then select one person, then go again to add recipient, then select another contact, and then again add recipient, select another contact, and so on... lets imagine i would like to send the particular message to 50 persons from my contact list... i would take an eternity... so i was looking for a program that allows me to go to add recipient, and inside it i could select those 50 persons that i want to get my message, and no add recipient, select contact, another add recipient, selecet another contact, and again add recipient,bla bla bla....
ok? was i cleared this time? hope so, sorry for my english guys....
i think that way it could be more easy to send mesages to a group of people, right?

Excellent!! Exactly what I was after. Thanks for the link
hey there,
i just recently update my att tilt to a new rom that was generously created by someone here. what i notice is the text messaging function lost one thing that i would like back. on the old default rom, if i was to start typing in the name of the person i am trying to send a message, the contact would list a few ppl that would be my possible choice. as of right now i have to go to menu and add reciept and i think that just takes to long. any cabs out there to fix this?
thanks in advance
try this
i had that same problem, but i found out that if i type the name and just hit space, it will show up at the bottom and you can select from a single-line menu and use the left and right d-pad buttons to select your contact without going through the hassle of adding a recipient and all that...
hopefully that helps?
wow that did the trick!
Ok, if I am missing something you guys can flame me for ever.
but....
go to ur contacts.. how do you call them from there?
u can edit them, get their nifty updates that i could really care less about. but you cannot initiate the call from your contacts view.
you have to go to your home page or the next page, then hit the phone tile then search in phone book at that point.
Which brings me to another point.. every touch phone I have used, even old non touch nokias let you either scroll on the side of the list to the name you want faster then scrolling through the entire alphabet, or type the letters of names to jump to them.
Both of those functions I do not see..
The more I use this phone, its becoming a glorified tile play thingy with a simple phone feature... am i missing something great here?

To start a call... you tap the text that says "call mobile" or whichever number you are trying to call under the contact's entry. That text seems rather self explanatory...
And to jump quickly to a certain letter, you tap any of the letter headings, and then tap the letter you want to jump to.
Also, there's a search symbol at the top of the contacts page, allowing you to search within contacts .. or, you could press the search hard key when in contacts view.
Thanks guys, did a reboot and then it started showing numbers for my contacts, when I first imported them, it showed their names, and profile to click on but no numbers or options to call or text them.
The scroller is a bit odd, cause if ur half way through the B's for example u have to get down to C, catch that little blue C and then select N's if that is what is needed.
Good luck doing that on the high way.
Question on email, how do you select all? on HD2, you go to options and select all and it would select all the emails listed, and easy to remove or delete.
Also how do you view several email accounts without having to go back to the home page tiles?
I run 3 diff email addies for my businesses, and really annoying to having to go go to home page every time to change which one Im viewing.
Crazy the book sais nothing of this.
Thanx
I have added my Live contact and outlook contact into my phone.
Is there a feature which allow me to filter and hide all my live contact.
I stored all my business contact in outlook, having live contact is expanding my contact list and making me confuse..
If your live account is the default account that you set the phone up with then no, I don't think there's a way to hide them at the moment.

have you read the manual or clicked on the text that shows up on first boot with tips and tricks???
If you click on people, you can click on the first blue letter/symbol to get the popup of the alphabet to sort.
Maybe you shouldn't drive and talk on your phone?
You cannot combine all the emails on this phone.
You also cannot select all messages, but if you press on the left of the message, check boxes appear and you can select or deselect messages, then delete, mark as read, mark as unread, move to folder.

ive read the manual, the full one that u dl of of htc site,
the reason i ask is because select all in email, or select diff email accounts from eamil view pane is basic features that ever phone I have ever used has had, even old nokias that were not smart phones, HD2 has that ability.
On select all, hell every phone dating back from the old 6190's had that on SMS and email.
Just surprised that this phone does not have that, its like many basic features are missing from a release model, which to me is dumb, why release a half done product.
Im not asking for special features, but if they put out the phone in a hurry for the holiday season, at least make it competitive with other OS's.
Ill give them that its simple, almost to simple cant even choose normal colors for your tiles, just girly ones, or make the colors different in ways that it looks interesting, but features like select all, copy, paste, multi tasking and (in contacts list ) the ability to scroll through letter choices without having to catch a blue letter should be there. I have over 340 contacts, so if i am half way through my list of J's and I need to jump to N, i have to scroll up or down to get to I or down to K to then select one and get the letters mode, then select which letter and hope its the right one while doing it on the move. Not efficient.

.........or you could click the Search button, which is always there, and be done with it.
WP7 does have voice command.. Perhaps instead of having to look down at your phone while driving you could use your hands free set and hold down Start to call whoever you want. Just a thought .
i just use the voice command lol
