"File As" issue with contacts

So I have been putting up with manually changing my new contacts from Lastname,Firstname to Firstname,Lastname for over a year and a half now. I have searched all throughout here, google, and ppc with no progress.
Any one have any cabs, reg hacks, anything at all that can default all new contacts to File as Firstname,Lastname?
Please. lol
i dont know if there cabs/reg hacks that can do it as your saving the contact or to automatically have the option by default but i do know that there are additional software that scan your contacts and then change the contacts to first name last name. Here are two of them that i know. One is called contact changer v1.3 (free) just google that and then there is one on the forums here called trinefix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468767
idk how well either of them work. I mean i tried them both and i think contact changer worked a little better then trinefix but they both left a few of them still last name first name because when i created the contact i did not create them properly i think
That trinefix works well, except I already have all my contacts sorted properly, by doing it manually. I was hopin for a reg trick to change the default.
But thanks for your input, appreciated.

Deleting Categories

Hi there,
Simple question, how do I delete categories? When I create a new appointment the list of categories includes one I never use (like Facebook - created by Snap2Face), but I can't see any way to delete them...

russ~
seems like a very similar question to one i asked a while back re. deleting unused phonebook categories.
haven't seen any way to do either in my research....i imagine that with enuf searching someone will find a program or registry hack to do the job!

AFAIK the categories can only be deleted on the PC in outlook. Then on the next sync it will remove them on the phone.
try 3-d party pim. AFAIR agendus can do it

G1 Contact list strange please help

hi all i have just got a g1 drc92 with official 1.6 f/w, i have a bit of a strange question someone on here will probably find easy to answer,
my problem is i have imported all my contacts into Google mail online then synced with the phone, i have 100 contacts and all are in alphabetical order except the last 5 they just seem to be added at the end of the list? i basically have a - z all listed fine then at the end of the ones that are ok i have a George , and a john etc... just 5 contacts out of order.
i have tried deleting these contacts and adding them via the phone and still they just get added to the bottom? i have tried editing the contacts online then re-syncing and it still adds to the bottom of the list in the phone and on g-mail contacts online?
please help as this is really annoying.
hmmm, must be something different about those contacts... Can't really tell you unless you give us a more thorough description or a screenshot or something like that. I bet you it has something to do with the contacts themselves though.
Maybe the name was entered under business instead of the name field?
Check your gmail contacts and look to see what's different.
Hi
I managed to sort these contacts now, i had to save them to a csv file and edit it manualy in exel? strange! but sorted now!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy S - Can't join contacts

Hi Guys,
I have a strange problem with my sgs.
Whenever I try to manually Join two contacts (for example someones facebook and corporate account), they wont join.
Here is what happens:
I open a contact named "XXX", click on Join contact, find the contact I want to join it with (facebook profile YYY for example) and click on it. Phone tells me contacts joined, but they are not. Contacts with matching names have been joined automaticly
Anybody?
I've got the same problem now too... you figure this out?
So do I. Did either of u figure it out? Pls respond.
i had this problem but i couldnt join my facebook contacts to the contacts on my sim after i installed a new rom - i had to import the contacts from my sim to my phone first before i could join them
my contacts are on the phone itself and still its not working..
Hi guys, had this two or three times. I'm pretty sure it's caused by uninstalling some system apps like task manager, social hub etc.
Never found a way to fix it, other than wipe system and data + reflash.
Have you deleted social hub or other sns related apps? You could try to fix the problem by reinstalling them.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I think this must be a problem with the developers.
Initially i didn't have this probelm but as soon as i ugraded the firmware and the option changed form 'link contacts' to 'join contact' the problems started. I hope that someone figures this out as there seems to be no other way to use the facebook pictures.
I've got it!!
So, I've figured this out. It's tedious, but it works. Go into the original contact. Where it says their name, retype it exactly as it is typed in the other contact that you would like to link it with. Once you get to the end of the name, a pop-up should come up underneath the name. Click on it to link the contacts. If it is already exactly the same, all you have to do is hit the space bar at the end of the name. This should also bring up the pop-up. Once the contacts are linked, you can change the name back to what you originally had it as. Like I said, long and tedious, but at least it works. Good luck!!

select contactlist in telephone app

Hey guys,
I'm looking for a solution on how to specify which contactlist is to be shown in the telephone app (NOT the contacts app)
right now, my S10 displays ALL contacts, from all sources (google accounts, simcard, phone contacts) together and thats just a mess....
I want it to show my contacts from my google account only...
So is it possible to select a specific contactlist to display only?
please keep in mind, that I am talking about the contacts in the telephone app, not the "contacts" app.
thanks for your help
oh, no one with this problem?
I also have this issue. On Huawei's EMUI it was possible to choose the contact list including groups when using Google.
Same problem but no solution... ):
I'm using the Groups-Icon in the contact list to filter. But it's kinda annoying. It's faster to search for the specific contact.

thank you for your screenshots, which actually show how to create a new contact and where to store it.
But my problem is, that I want the telephone app to show contacts from one specific source only...
For example: show / display contacts from gmail-account X only...
