Hello
I am trying to turn on autocomplete in Pocket Outlook on my Touch Diamond, like it worked on the Kaiser. Autocomplete/ word-completion works everywhere else, but not in the "To" field, even if i typed that e-mail 100x times or used a e-mail address from a contact.
I just wanted to type a few letters and get a list of all the possible matches from cache and addressbook.
Any idea how to solve this issue ?
any idea ?
Is there really no one else out there having, this problem or any idea how to solve this issue ?
I am getting ready to order my Diamond, and I have a fear of this as well.
I think that this is a limitation of Windows Mobile, as on my mogul the contact auto-complete will work with the physical keyboard, but not with any of the on-screen one's.
If someone were able to find a fix it would be greatly appreciated.
Works fine here - the name doesn't "autocomplete" while you are typing but upon tapping Send suggests a match if the string hasn't been matched before.
yes i know that feature, but as far as i know this feature doesn't use the cached names i recently typed, it just uses the names/mails from contacts.
Anyway the "old" Kaiser with WM 6.0 could do this autocompletion on the fly, so i just can not understand why the Diamond should not be able to do the same thing while i am typing.
Hmm.
Occasionally I forward emails with my Diamond from my work exchange email address to my personal pop email address [email protected]_example_domain.com. Merely typing "work" or even "wo" and pressing Send fires off the email with no problem. But typing "allen" then pressing Send brings up a picker even when the address should be cached...
I've just fired up my Artemis (unbranded & WM6) and that displays a picker as soon as one begins to type....never mind.

so with my 8125 when sending a text message, i was able to type the first few letters of a contacts name in to the recipient line and it would show me possible matches, how can i get this for the tilt?
Very true, it's quite annoying. Pressing Check Names works in the same way, but it's an extra step for no reason.
I've been using Finger Friendly Friends as a way of avoiding this, but you have to pay for it. I'd be interested in a reg hack.
My Tilt just does it. I use the Palm Threaded so I dont know if that helps or not.
by defaut, it should coms automatically...
check if u just installed kaiser tweak..it is known bugs and could be resolved by Disable D-Pad Scroll Navigation for PocketIE
hope this would help
Please would somebody confirm the following experience:
Only the 3 diamond SIPs (PhoneKeypad, CompactQWERTY, FullQWERTY) work when creating a new SMS. The other standard WM SIPs (keyboard, transcriber, BlockRecogniser) and any new SIPs (TouchPal) struggle as follows:
When entering a recipient name, the contacts list does not find matches, and rather one has to use "Check Names" from the menu before sending.
Have I screwed something up, or is this evident for everyone? This was definitely NOT a problem on WM6.1 Touch, so I think it's linked to the Diamond's HTC thumbable menus (SIP selector).
edit: i am not gettin contacts in touchpal either
also via touchdiamond's normal sip i can get contacts flawlessly
Hello,
I have search extensively with various keywords both in the top-level forums as well as Google and I cannot find a solution to this problem. Actually, I have only found one other person on another board who has even mentioned it (no replies yet) so I wanted to ask here.
I have an at&t Fuze and when I compose a message and type in a recipient name and select "Check Names" from the menu, it gives me a list of names and when I select one, it fills in the field correctly and then immediately crashes.
I have tried various cooked ROMs as well as the stock at&t ROM with them all producing the same results. Currently I am running Monx's ROMeOS 1.40.1 (which smokes BTW!) and I have tried every possible setting I can think of (including Adv. Config) to no avail. There are no other issues with the phone other than this. Could this be a HW issue? It might be a stretch considering the symptoms but I am willing to believe anything at this point...
Please Help!
Just found this thread - Im having the SAME issue... Im surprised that nobody else has the issue or that nobody else uses Check Names...
perhaps its a corrupt contact entry. Have you tried deleting and recreating it? Or is it happening for all contact entries?
Good thought - but unfortunately its happening for good contacts. Even NEW contacts. Occasionally it will find the contact, put the name in, then close out or when it cant find a contact, it will just close out. Furthermore, its only happening for e-mail message types. MMS/SMS the checknames function works fine...
I had the same problem with one of the latest ROMeOS 1.80.* versions.
Currently I don't have the problem with 1.95.1
If I remember right, if you start with adding the receipient it works, but if you first type your text message, and then add a contact, it will crash.
1.95.1 eh? Ill have to give it a go.
Mine will crash regardless of whether text is in the field first or not, i've tried both ways and have the same results.
In narrowing down the problem to add-on applications, did you have Xpress mail installed? or any other e-mail forwarding service? Im wondering if that has anything to do with it...
i've had the same issue as well.... but it's wierd..
if the contact is a personal contact, it works fine. if it has to search my business contacts (ota activesync/exchange 2007) it will crash.
@b_slice
No, don't have Xpress mail installed.
@godashram
I don't use business contacts.
Well, that helps to eliminate potential culprits.
godashram - Mine will crash regardless of contact type, business or personal
Just a +1 from me as well.
I'm using a HTC Diamond with the stock HTC 2.03 ROM. SMS crashes and goes back to Manila when using the 'check names' function.
It happens all the time: It doesn't matter which contact I try and it also doesn't matter if I've typed in a text message or not.
Programs running in the background are: Touchlockpro and Manila.
I hope someone can come up with the cause and the solution for this.
This seems to be an inherent bug in the Stock ROM. I've uploaded 4 to 5 ROMs from different chef's and NONE of them have this same issue.
Im currently rocking the Energy 3.0 WM 6.5 and contact searching and check names is working FLAWLESSLY.
When I'm compiling emails on my TyTN II, I find that often my email will be unintentionally sent when I'm only part way through due to a keyboard combination being used. Section 7.7 of the TyTN II user manual (page 134) refers to keyboard shortcuts and mentions holding down the S key is a shortcut to send the message but as in this (much) earlier thread I found relating to Accidentally pressing keyboard shortcut to send SMS, it refers to SMS sending and I'm having the issue with email. Is this pressing the softkey still the cause (I'm pretty sure it seems more like pressing a combination of keys around the S that are doing it in my case). More importantly, has anyone found a Cab, fix or even a WWE HTC ROM to stop this happening?
It's very annoying and I would have though some solution must have been found by now. I'll mention it in a letter to HTC but based on their past 'performance', I don't hold out much hope of a quick (or even eventual) fix from them. I'm therefore hoping for a solution from forum members so please let me know.
For me, its happened when i accidentally hit the send soft key between the R and T. I know its pretty bad sending half an uneditted email to a client and then having to send another email explaining why it happened and carrying on from there.. very unproffesional.
My solution to this problem is to simply cut and past the recipients email address from the to field to the subject field. Then once i'm done editing and everythings squared off and ready to go, i'll just cut and paste from the subject field back into the to field.
hope this little work around helps you. As for a hotfix or a confirmation message before sending it, i haven't heard of one.
I press that goddamn softkey all the time.....
It is really embarassing when you send a message half complete!
Good tip about the subject line
AEBPlus
I use AE Button Plus and have set the soft keys to ignore a single press. If I need to access the single-press application, then I just need to press on the screen.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thanks for that work-around, that'll certainly do the trick if I remember to blank the 'to' field before creating the email. I've also emailed the AE Button Plus email address to see if they are willing to make a version of the product that works just with the TyTN IIs email and SMS program when thats in operation. I've also unticked the 'send messages immediately' box in my Windows Live Options on the TyTN II (since I use my Hotmail account through this device). I've found that this puts my email into the drafts folder and it's only when I then send the draft that it actually leaves - it's a bit of a pain though given keyboard short cuts are supposed to help rather than hinder.Definitely one for HTC and Microsoft to address.
I thought this would fix itself over time, but it hasn't.
When I text, if I start typing in the name of the person, the HTC Diamond starts to suggest names after two letters. I really like this feature.
Sometime this summer, this stoped working for my wife's name (and you can imagine that a lot of texts go to her!). There were two contacts entries for her, I deleted one and updated the other. Her contact information is updated with ActiveSync correctly. But when I type the letters of her first name, it brings up similar names, but NOT hers.
How can I restore this to the way it was working without a hard reset?
Thanks.
I tried deleting her contact completely, syncing, adding her contact back in, syncing. Then went to text and typed in her name but is was not part of the autocomplete choices.
What is going on; is there a limit to the number of autocomplete names? Are all my new contacts being turncated out? (I have 1325 contacts).
Thanks in advance for any and all assitance.
