Hello,
Do you know any SW that would automatically log information about date and time of each coll in the Notes for each contact?
I'd like to see upon opening a contact when I spoke with him/her.
Thank you
Not quite what you are asking for...but there is a program called CallCalendar that notes each call made, received, or missed and places it (and the beginning and ending times) automatically into your Calendar. I have found it as a helpful log to keep.

That sounds interesting but I would like to have something slightly different... when I open a contact, I'd like to see the history of phone conversations with this person... ideally in the Notes fields of the contact
I believe PocketCM can do something similar. At least, it is a decent contact manager with SMS function. Afaik, you can let it show the calls inbetween the threaded SMS, which gives you quite a log about conversations with people. But, I think it does not show the duration of a call, but date and time for it.
Give it a shot

It's already there in the individual call history for each contact. Time, day, length of call.
Open contact, "View All Calls".

I've been looking for a program that could send SMSes to lists, like forward an important SMS to colleagues, jokes to friends etc. The cases are numerous. But even after having created custom categories and assigned them to each contact, there still didn't seem a way to use the categories for this purpose.
But I found Group SMS 1.4.1 over on softonic that adds a menu item "Add Group" which lists the categories that exist in the contact list, and lets you check which you want to add people from. On the next screen you remove checkmarks from those in those categories that you dont want to be added.
Very helpful, I hope it comes in handy for someone else.
Hey Shen why did you not post this just one day earlier. Yesterday was our Eid Festival and I was scrolling through my list of around 400 contacts selecting one by one whom to pick and whom to leave out while sending out "Eid Greetings" message. It took me kind of 45 minutes for just that. You know I really cursed MS for not building into their operating system something as basic as this. So well done I have not tried this yet but I am sure this is what I need.
Yeah I know how annoying that was But I had just found out about that program an hour before I posted here
yeah its a great app used it on my hermes as well to text my team, didn't know there was the add group function on my contacts list when i installed it until last week. Just by chance i found it.
It sure was frustrating when I didn't find any "Send to list" or "Send to group" option when i tried adding recipients for the first time.
Anyone know if theres any app for the TyTN II that combines group sms with disctintive sms sounds?
any way to make call history group calls from same contact instead of listing them one by one for each time a contact is used? for example i usually just jump to my call history to make a call since its faster for calling my regular contacts and calling people back. problem is if that person has called several times i usually have to go back in the history a few pages to find another recent contact. other phones do this and was wondering if possible on the kaiser.
If you select a contact, then you can see the history of missed/outgoing/incoming calls. But I guess trhat doesnt help you since you want to see the list but grouped. The option was available on my previous SE M600i (simple and complete).
yes it is frustrating when someone like my fiance calls a few times...then i have to scroll a few pages to get to another contact. on my blackberry it would just group the same calls and then i could view history if needed.

haha same here! First fiance and now wife! Lots of missed received and dialed calls.
I've come across an burdening issue sending a txt with multiple recipients. Though the grouped chat style text messaging is an incredible advantage, there are some cons and i'm wondering if they can be fixed somehow.
Because of the chat style text messaging, your first outgoing message gets coped to your inbox. Is there any way for the first outgoing message to NOT be copied to your inbox?
This poses an issue for when you are sening a mass/group text message. For example, if i send out "Happy New Year" to 50 people in one text, i get 50 outgoing copies in my inbox.
Suggestions?
It doesnt really get copied, The threaded sms app just shows that you started a conversation with those recipients. I do see what your saying though, and i guess it can get somewhat annoying having all those open conversations in your inbox, BUT now you only have those 50 or so threads in your inbox as opposed to (like me) thousands of messages to scroll through. Plus as an added benefit you can see who replied in an orderly fashion. I for one would like the option to turn sms threading on/off, but I guess this is progress...

Well as much as i love it, i would like to see that the program doesn't show the started conversation on the first initial text message. It should show it when they reply. This would solve the group text messaging issue

I totally agree, maybe someone with more skills than I can look into this and corrosponding registry keys?

If it's even something that can be edited... might be part of the program's code.
I'd like to be able to move the messages into another folder but cant seem to find out a way to do it as the option isnt highlighted

I have been exchanging tons of SMS messages with a bunch of my friends. HTC Diamond does a good job of displaying the messages chronologically that i would have exchanged with a specific person if i tap on his/her name. However, it restricts the number of messages shown and i need to keep tapping on Older... again and again to see the older messages.
Is there a way that i can copy/download/save the entire SMS conversation i've had with a specific person? I don't want to copy/paste text manually into a file as it would take ages. Any tool/utility/application that exists to facilitate this ...preferably freeware !
Thanks
MyPhone can sync all of your text messages
Has anyone yet figured out a way to not have the Captivate log every single text and call you make?
It is so annoying to have to hunt all through my phone looking for tracks. Originally I assumed that they could be erased by deleting the thread in messaging. Wrong!
So then go to the contact/history and delete it there. Wrong! There is nothing in the history tab.
So then open the dialer, go to call log and look, every sent and recieved text, mms, and call is logged there as well. Its like a paranoid secret agent designed this system.
And heaven forbid that you installed a second messaging program such as Handcent to log everything all over again.
I currently use Horizon to keep my private texts private, but even that allows the outgoing texts to be logged.
Yes, deleting the thread, then selecting every individual item in the log from the unwanted caller works. Or even deleting the entire call log at once will work. But short of that has anyone come up with a work around for the call logging intrusion?
Found "Not log this call" on the market to auto delete phone calls log (Not free).
For sms you can edit the text message limit and reduce it to 1. This will at least keep 1 text message in store before it gets deleted. But default it's set to 200 msg per conversation and 20 mms per conversation.
Interesting. I looked at that app, I may have to try it.
Did you actually get your message inbox to go to 1? Mine will only go down to 10.
I am currently testing it to see if it erases the call log history as it erases the inbox but I dont think it does.
Ok, so setting the message limit to 10 only deletes the messages, not the logs.
However, while playing with it I found out that by selecting one of the logged entries (text or call) it pulls up a history type page. From there you can select the bottom left soft key, choose delete and then choose select all. I am not sure but I think it only deletes one page at a time or something as it seems to leave a few behind. I am still playing but its a hell of a lot better that trying to select each individual log in the main log screen. Its sort of what you would expect the history tab in the contact screen to do. (especially if you came from WinMo )
I hope someone else finds this helpful. I did a lot of searching and found a lot of complaints about this awful "feature" but no answers. This isnt much of an answer but its seems a bit more tolerable since I figured the history part out.
It also seems to be something Samsung adds as Evo and the Droid don't do it.
Check out HistoryEraser. I think I saw it on Lifehacker a few days ago, supposed to wipe away all your unwanted tracks.
