Hi all, when I add a new contact, this option appears by "surname, name" be default. I like to have contacts by "name, surname"; so everytime I add acontact I have to go to this option and change.
Anyone knows how to change this value by default?. I know there is a program for Pocket PC that fix it but i don't know how to manage with a SMP.
Thanks in advance.
Hi,
I've managed to do adjust it in my Outlook. There is an option when you click on your contact, to just say 'display as .. '. It's there where you can state how to list your contacts if I'm not mistaken.

What if you don't use outlook but Windows Live Mail?
i have also made this work in outlook... not with internal vista email klient... sorry
I use this thread, is there some possibility to have more mobile phones in one contact then only one? Thanks a lot.
up!
No way to change to "name surname" modifying a registry key?
I've heard about this feature in "Xpera Tweak"... I'm investigating!
hey when i went on windows live messenger on my o2 ignito... it started synchronising contacts... so i was like fair enough.. if i had to get on msn messenger then i'll let it load etc.. but now all these email addresses are on my All People contact list and i just want my phone numbers i put in and not my windows live messenger contacts! i want them to be seperate.. like if i go on windows live messenger (msn) that i can use that... and then if i go on my phonebook is just my friends phone numebrs that i put in..
anyone know what to do
thanks a lot guys!
You can do this by first of all, going into windows live, not messenger. Go to Account option on the Menu tab, tap on Switch Windows Live ID.
Re-enter your account details and when you get past entering username and password, you will see a list of things that you can sync. I personally leave them all unticked as I don't want my hotmail on my device, nor a long list of contacts on the phone itself.
Each time where a reasonable amount of time has gone by where I have not used Windows Live, I go to the Sync page and tap that to get the latest personal settings etc and then go straight into msn.
Hope this helps.
hey
thanks a lot dude.. really did..
can now see my contacts! lol
also do you, or anyone know whta happened to the GPS system etc :-S and maps?? on the xda ignito... because it came with like a few programs lol... and i always put peoples first names and last names for the contact list.. but it arranges contacts by last name, first name... when i want it to be first name, last name...
anyone know how to change that?? sorry for all the dumb questions lol... the manual they gave is so useless
I have been trying to set my default phone book as just my Sim contacts. ie. just to use the numbers saved in my sim. But I cant seem to do that on my HTC diamond. anyone has any idea?
And, after signing into windows live messenger via my phone, i realised my contact list is full of my msn contacts, ie. the email addresses of my msn contacts, which is why I wana select the option of just using my sim contacts. Anyone who can give me solution on this?
Really appreciate any help rendered.
Thanks guys...
Cheer,
Ruben
when signing into messenger (or in options since youve signed in) untick the sync contacts part
The options menu dont have that "(or in options since youve signed in) untick the sync contacts part " anymore.. You can only select it when u sign in first into msn messenger..
Maybe I missed it, but is there an application that adds the Google images for our contacts to the contact list? I know there was a program out there that allowed you to add new pictures by snapping photos, but short of rounding up all 200 of my contacts, would prefer to use the Gmail images.
Has anyone developed something like this? If not, any hopes to see it?
You are basically after like an advanced phone book?
There is a new app on the market called Android Eye Contact Lite although, personally I think it's not for me..... it does offer what you are after.
the " phone book " app shows contact pics as you scroll thru it if thatrs whart your asking

otherwise, i found the easyest way to add pics was to to open my contacts on my laptop and add them that way, then it'll just import when it sync's...
Hi all,
I just unplugged my sim from my X1 silver, and plugged it into my HD7. and then, after two hours...
1. how do you actually sync your phone contacts from ms outlook 2007 to it? I tried downloading zune, but nothing. The freakin' thing doesn't even have a manual.
2. I thought I won't encounter a problem since it's HTC and since it's WM7, and since my PC is win7 x64. But oh boy, this is getting in my nerves.
3. WM7 doesn't know how find a hidden (SSID) WIFI. I mean,.. Dang!
compared to any wm phones, just plug the hell into your pc, get wmdc, and then voila. 5 minutes tops.
XD
WP7 is indeed a different bird from WM. Hidden SSID is a known limitation, and hopefully gets addressed with the coming update.
I assume your outlook is not connected to exchange? If so, piece of cake, if not, you'll likely prefer (or not) to use a hotmail connector for outlook. This essentially creates a cloud-based sync.
Oh, and the manual is inside the box in a little pocket.
I managed to upload my msoutlook 2007 contacts to the cloud using OC32bit. almost a piece of cake. But, I'm having a hard time getting it to my phone.
When I try to add an account, it says windows live account is already added. but when I tap people. There nothing in the contacts list. None.
When I try to login to windows live via pc I can see all the contacts from there.
I... just hate it.
Talk about innovation, talk about the future. XD
Use Outlook connector and a hotmail account and everything works perfectly.
Hi,
Thanks! I manage to do it now. After spending a night my phone book has everything on it now(contacts wise). Too lazy to repeat it for calendar, lastly, I missed activesync so much that even your one note syncs to your wm.
I'm having thoughts on returning the phone and getting the android version (desire or X10) because of these:
1. hd7 only installs apps on what windows wants and not what YOU want.
2. it doesn't support pdf file for book reading, document reading.
3. I heard it doesn't open .doc .xls and any lower .doc files. (old docs still exist today unconverted)
4. I can't put files on the phone "ala USB flash disk style" I mean where's the plug drag and go, when you use the phone business wise. how do you intend to use the 16G space? (for movies or music; given the rumored battery life?)
Everything we do on our wm phones aren't easy to do on this wp7 anymore, I haven't reviewed at it before I grabbed my HD7 since I said to myself what do I have to worry about? I have grown from WM5, WM6 and WM6.1, what could go wrong?
I dunno I mean I hope I'm not babbling, I can't google if i don't open pocket ie and type google, I can't install opera, I can't browse flash sites I mean, youtube isn't the only streaming video out there. I can't install my garmin mobile xt, I can't install java app, I can't explore the contents of my phone. I mean this is freakin' alien windows i'm using. I don't even know if I can find my phone on over the local area (win7) network or homegroup.
With all the "I can'ts" I said. I thought I'd better off android!. XD
1. hd7 only installs apps on what windows wants and not what YOU want.
If you mean the app store is limited, yes it is. It's growing though.
2. it doesn't support pdf file for book reading, document reading.
Download the Adobe Reader from Marketplace. Free.
Haven't tried #3.
4. I can't put files on the phone "ala USB flash disk style" I mean where's the plug drag and go, when you use the phone business wise. how do you intend to use the 16G space? (for movies or music; given the rumored battery life?)
Zune. It's just a matter of figuring it out. It's different, to be sure. They also want you to utilize cloud based storage more. The offer free SkyDrive space included with your live account, and most of the MS apps can access that space. Other apps, like the eBook reader Freda, can connect to a DropBox account. Then there is Sharepoint.
I can't google if i don't open pocket ie and type google
Open up IE then press the capacitive Search button. Instantly takes you to Google.
I just found there's a google app in the markeplace too? and yes it grows every hour, its almost endless... pretty neat!
If you say it's just a matter of figuring it out, I hope I can figure it out with an option NOT to upload it on a cloud, since c'mon not all places in the world have super fast internet connection, I don't want uploading an entire folder up there then downloading it to my device.
And even if the chevron thing would work on my device, It would void my warranty so I wouldn't try.
After 2 days with my new phone, I feel much more comfortable with it now. I hope it would get even better.
Gotta follow this up since I don't want to start another similar thread.
I have another question:
The phone contacts (people) always have you on top named "Me"
question is, How do you actually link a contact to "Me"?
I just noticed it now that somebody asks for my bank account and of course, I'll look for it in my notes within my ms outlook contact under my name. I just found out that my name in my hd7 doesn't have a picture and doesn't have a facebook link(not that the FB link is too important), etc. and when I click the link icon in the bottom middle, I can link it to any other contact entry in my phone except "Me".
Technically speaking, the contact named after me in my phone is treated as another person. I tried signing on to windows live, check my contact there, found my name and the options I have is "add as a friend" which is really beginning to sound funny.
Long story short, I need to link my ms outlook 2007 contact(myname) to the owner of the HD7 phone which is me, so I wouldn't retype everything and delete the synced "myname" account since if i do so that would be deleted in my PC. I gotta have 'em both. but I wish I just could link it to my phone's "Me" account.
That's a toughie.
So the "Me" contact syncs up with both your Windows Live account and your Facebook account (which you add in services --> email and accounts, NOT the blue facebook app)
I don't see a way to sync the Me contact with another outlook contact.
You may want to take the notes in your Outlook contact and copy them to your Live stuff.

that's dependant on carrier... I get yahoo, you could get the google search app from the market or pin google from IE to the start so you can launch straight to google.

Yeah, not the blue facebook app. and I think I'll just have to deal with it having two seperate accounts the Me, and my outlook unlinked.
@frontieruk
Speaking about the search button, it is getting annoying when you actually hit the button accidentally. I hope someday a double-press (double-click) fix would make it possible.
I had a similar experience except that I got the "Me" where it's suppose to be the first time. Learning little by little, I guess Hotmail (windows live) is actually kinda cool.
