I'm looking for software for my tilt that will allow me to keep a separate contact list (Names/addresses/etc.)...kinda like a "Little Black Book".
I'm getting overran with personal vs business contacts that there are so many contacts to scroll through to make calls and such. I'm wanting this program so I can move all my Business contacts to it and keep them separate from my Personal contacts.
Ideas???
You may have already thought of this and rejected it but...
Why not just categorize them between "Personal" and "Business" and then filter them based on what you need at the time? I know PocketInformant can do that easily. That way, you only see your business contacts as you scroll, etc.
It would seem that this would be just as fast/efficient as having two different contact databases (if possible, at all).
Second the recommendation for PI , great product well worth buying, I have over 700 contacts and it make them all very search able, just like a mini outlook..
http://www.pocketinformant.com/products_info.php?p_id=pocketinformant
they have a free version you can down load and see if you like it...but you will
I'll have to give PI a try.
What I really want to do is to move all the business contacts to an external program that can be password protected. I got a lot of contacts that...well...I need to keep secure. (And hope I never loose my phone...grin)

Ok this may be a dumb question, and quite possibly Im missing something simple.
I have my email set to download the full message I'm on an unlimited data plan and mainly use the data plan for my email. so i'm not worried about data usage.
however my onto my question, when you open an email, a yellow bar at the top of the screen says "Internet Pictures Blocked"
I know its simple, and all you need to do is click the yellow bar, you read the message that says "To protect your privacy, pictures from the Internet are not automatically downloaded"
Bellow the message you click "download Internet pictures"
Easy, Simple, Almost hassle free, I know all that.
But not quiet Hassle free. and it had slowly became the thing that bugs me most about opening my mail.
Again I know Im probably missing something that is so simple most people don't even need to ask how to do it. But is there a way to make it download the full email including the images.
Iv'e had the x1 since it came out here in Britain, and maybe I should have asked earlier rather than, let it bug me every day. But I haven't because it felt like it was a setting i have not configured correctly. and i was just being stupid wasting peoples time with such a simple question.
But I put my hands in the air, I cant find it , I don't know how to do it. I give up. Can someone tell me what I'm not doing correct, and put me out of my misery lol
Thanks in advance for any help

That's a standard feature on most email clients these days.
It's there so that spammers can't hide your email address in an image request - basically the images generated by a script that confirms that your email address is valid.
When your email address is confirmed as valid its more valuable to sell on to spammers as a 'confirmed active' address.
You should only ever allow images to be downloaded from email that you are expectingand where you know the sender - therefore in any email the images will be blocked initially.
Full blown email clients may have a 'white list' for senders addresses that you will automatically allow images from, but not Pocket Outlook unfortunately.
Hope this helps,
FM
Is there a way to bypass that?
My x1 reads the email from 1 folder in my email account. spam, junk and items i don't require to check when out and about, are in other folders of the account and i check those when i get home.
Its just the emails that make it to this approved folder i check on the phone. and it would be good for the full email an images to be downloaded.
However i presume from what you are saying, that even tho i have taken precautions to filter and separate non important emails, that it is still in my best interest and for my own protection that the x1 does not download the images with the rest of the email. and that there is no actual way to change this setting
Thanks for your quick reply

I would like to download the images automatically, too.
No one with an idea how to fix that?
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.
could someone tell me how in the name of god u sync this crap phone with ur desktop ala active sync or what ever it's new alternative is because active sync doesn't seem to exist for this phone.
my htc hd2 worked fine until it broke and my insurance co replaced it with this heap of crap. i can't even sync my hotmail now without downloading about 1000 email contacts that i don't want on my phone.
not to mention the 500 or so contacts that i do actually want which are stored on my desktop pc with sbp back up which apparently isn't compatible either.
do i have input every one of these 500+ contacts manually now? i also had them backed up in microsoft my phone which doesn't seem compatible either with this thing.
is it just me that's having these probs? someone reassure me please and tell how to get my contacts onto it before i smash it off the wall in frustration.
i have them stored in sbp back up, microsoft my phone and a PimBackup.pib file,
how do i get them onto my phone, any method will do?
I really, really wish you people would read and do research before coming on here with ignorant, angry posts... Posts like this make people not want to help, to be completely honest, and most veteran users are going to respond with some "Search the damn forums" reply simply because of your approach...
If you want to sync hotmail without importing the contacts, don't click on the Hotmail selection when setting up the account, click "Other email" and do it like that so it'll only sync the e-mail, and not the contacts. Second, there are a few ways to sync contacts, easiest is through an exchange server or syncing them to your live account which will then sync them to the phone. MyPhone, SBP, and all of those outdated systems will not work.
For synchronization on Windows Phone 7 you must use Zune Software, ActiveSync was discontinued in WP7
You can get it hare

About contacts,
As far I know there is no simple way from moving you contacts WM6 to WP7
For example you can use Exchange (if your company use it) you can sync contacts from WP6 to server, and then connect to you company server from WP7 and sync it, and you get your contacts on WP7.
If you can’t use Exchange Server for any reason, you can sync it on Hotmail or Google Gmail, both supports Exchange ActiveSync, just sync you contacts from WM6 to your hotmail or gmail account, and then same way sync it on WP7
Hare is how to sync on Hotmail

Or use this to sync to gmail using Exchange ActiveSync

i had searched the forums and it seemed there was no resolution to the contacts issue which quite frankly i was incensed over as it was the straw that broke the camels back with a phone i disliked a lot already. no tethering being another prob i can't get over, as i used my prev hd2 at least 50% of the time for this.
as for backing up my hd2 contacts in any other manner other than my outdated methods listed, that's completely impossible, my hd2 has broken, the insurance co now possess it. i did not know it was going to break nor did i realize my methods of backing up my info were so archaic and outdated. this is the replacement i was unfortunate enough to get from them.
as for the other re email contacts. i found the soln after posting but was too pissed to go back and edit. "you people", "ignorant"? fair enough if u want to label me that. thank you for ur opinion. i don't remember making a personal attack on u or anyone else but so be it. i thought my post wreaked of desperation and frustration after many many frustrating hrs with this "phone", i am not a techie at all, but obviously i was making a personal attack on u which warranted the personal attack on me. given the no. of posts u have i'm guessing ur a mod or vet member so i won't be surprised if i get a pm infracting or banning me for insulting u so deeply and personally.
Armarn, thanks very much for ur help, i appreciate it.
Far from either, but if that's your way of being frustrated or looking for assistance, I have a sippy cup for you, as for the contacts, I would Google a way to export them from MyPhone
Sent from my HD7 using Board Express
I love my HTC HD7, its a new phone and sure it has some bugs that need to be corrected. However if you dont like the phone then go buy yourself another one, and I search the forums or google it before you start a thread on a dead end subject!
I have alot of crap like adress fb connections and stuff in my contacts. And now i want to clean up my contact so i only have the name phonenumbers and mailadresses is this possible to do in bulk?
Ive tried via export and excel but it does not seem right cus i get alot of adreeses in teh name colume and dont want to do anyting that could go wrong.
I have no dublicates like all the other threeds but i want to clean up everyting except the importent stuff on each contact in a bulk kind of way.
Thanks in advance
You could start by merging duplicates in Gmail through a browser, if that is part of the problem.
Slightly related, I really don't like skype, facebook etc swamping my contacts with theirs...
This is an awesome and annoying feature of current systems. It pulls all your contacts into one place but it also pulls all of your contacts into one place lol. FB contacts are the worst. I'm way OCD about this stuff, but I've resigned myself to just not think about it, as cleaning it up would be insanely time consuming. If I need to contact someone I look them up. If the contact has a bunch of crap or duplicates I delete it at that time.
If you are in the mood for some learning you could batch them in Access to remove info and export to a CSV Excel. Access isn't all that hard to learn and I think is actually easier to use for data mining/manipulation than Excel.
fullcontact.com
I would recommend you try http://app.fullcontact.com
Did me a great help with managing my 6000+ contact base.
I've tried every single pay service but to be frank they know what they are doing.

Thanks for the tip! I will try it out, also have some porblems with my contacts.
Turn off facebook contact sync?
alternatively: Contacts --> Optionkey --> Contacts to Display & Contacts --> Optionkey --> Settings --> Only contacts with phones
Well, my work finally told me to cancel my personal phone and go pick out whatever I want to replace the horrid iPhone 4 they gave me (*shudder* 8gb). I should be able to pick up my nexus 6 from telus tomorrow! I'm looking for a good way to seperate my work from personal and was wondering if user accounts would accomadate this. Some info...
I have a personal gmail as well my work uses gmail
I keep 2 separate calendars, although some items I put on both (haven't checked into if I can auto accept invites from one account to the other)
This is a small company. I have complete control over my phone (they don't restrict the apps/useage in any way)
Now to the detailed questions.. Of how separate user accounts are...
Will photos taken from each profile only be viewable from the profile that captured it?
Are text messages completely separate?
Are contact lists seperate ?
From what I have read, apps can be separate (I actually have work related apps I don't want to have to scroll past when looking for the tribez Lol)
If you know anything else about user accounts I would really appreciate the knowledge! All the articles I find basically just explain how to set them up and restrict access
