Well i have lurked for a while but finally posted as i am really struggling. I have a orange branded kaiser tilt, i have installed,Home Customizer and swapped the clock but everything else is still above me,there a couple of things id like help with if anyone can preferably free as i am kinda skint after buying my kaiser >< ? Listed below many thanks:
On the main kaiser screen i have got contacts and calendar i want to get rid of calendar and swap it for something else is this possible ? .
A good wifi app that will show me unsecured hot spots that i can jump onto when out and about ? Just installed WIFIFOFUM2 but it doesn't allow you to connect the the hot spots ?
A method of swapping the kaiser menu so that the 4 square thing were you can put your fav contacts to something else or make it so when i click it it brings up the text or call thing instead of just ringing them ?.
And anyone got any other suggestions of apps i should install ? id like to totally customize my home screen but i am really not sure on how to do it ?
I know most of these questions have probably been asked before but i struggled to find them in search so any help appreciated many thanks
You have got to be kidding! Everything you asked has been repeatedly asked and answered. Why do some many of you people think you have just asked the most original, brilliant question. Search some more. Read and be educated. Stop being such a lazy a$$.
I fully understand your anger but its what to put into the search box to bring up the result i am after that is what i am having difficulties with anyone care to enlighten me ?
I'm not angry at all. Just perplexed at the lazy people who come on the forum and ask the same questions over and over again.
Use the link in my signature, below. It is a better way to search the site. Then get creative in your search terms.
For example, if you want to know about changing the calendar then type in terms like- replace calendar bottom of screen- and you will get this, http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&as_q=replace+calendar+bottom+of+screen&as_epq=&as_oq=&as_eq=&num=10&lr=&as_filetype=&ft=i&as_sitesearch=http%3A%2F%2Fforum.xda-developers.com&as_qdr=all&as_rights=&as_occt=any&cr=&as_nlo=&as_nhi=&safe=images
Try that a little and I am sure will get the knack for it.
Of course, please read the stickies and the Wikis.

1. Schaps advanced config<< look in the link in my sig.
2. wififofum << put that in your search and you'll find it.
The new iPhone is out and I think it might be a perfect fit for you. Then, you can go to an iPhone forum and post interesting questions!
Or, you can keep your phone and learn how it works by reading and playing with it???
The only thing I can suggest that you install on it is a search application. MSN and Google make one that is easy to install and you can find the Google App here:

Hi Guys
Hope you can help.
I load appointments in Outlook and Sync
The appointment contains the persons name and phone number.
I would like to make a call directly from the reminder or calendar.
Using the telephone number as a hypertext link would be great.
I am normally busy driving to the client so I cant copy and paste or write the number down. Copy and paste does not work when switching to phone mode, does not allow you to paste?
Would greatly appreciate a solution!
(using Touch Diamond)
Have a look at Pocket Informant 8. When you set the appointment you have an option in the righthand soft menu to insert contact link. This then allows you to have the appointment open and access contact info directly from the appointment. Hope this is what you are after.
make a search before u post. look here:

Thanks tempest2112, Pocket informant looks like something that may solve the problem, very useful!
Apologies KukurikU, I did look at the link you provided but don’t have a clue what they are talking about. My knowledge goes as far as copy and paste and installing a program
You need to upgrade to a 1.93 based ROM which has paste function in the dialer... (this one did my head in for ages until I flashed 1.93).
Still need to copy then paste though, so you'll just have to pull over for a second... hang on a mo, you should be doing that anyway!

never mind, i guess you didn't get to post #7. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2551269&postcount=7 by pure coincidence is my post.
try the app i am recommending there. i am sure it will fulfill yr wish....i am using it for 3 years and it does exactly what you are asking for. just keep yr stylus on a meeting (for example) and if there is any telephone number in the reminder or in the note the app will inquire if you want to dial it. no copy/paste!!!
sorry for the "you don't have a clue". can't help with that

Hi KukuriKU,
I have installed contactbreeze, but the PIM extension is not appearing in OUtlook (i am checking teh notes section). I am using the SwiftBL 6.5 version of ROM.
Are you using contactbreeze with the Diamond, and did you do anything special to make it work?
Thanks!
Part 1
nothing special.
first options/tweaks/apply dial menu extension.
second, go to the appointment/task that already contain a telephone number and by "long press" you'll get the option "dial number".
i think the set of pics should be enough. for more pics see next post.
if you still have questions, contact me
Part 2-3 more Pics
Her is the end of my explanations:
ContactBreeze Works now!!

Thanks for the excellent clarification provided KukurikU! I was trying to select the number in teh notes section and then trying a long press.... this just used to bring out teh cut/copy menu item. I didnt know I had to perform the long key press in the main screen... anyway many thanks for your help - issue sorted now.
BTW ContactBreeze does solve the issue of the missing dial from PIM feature in WM6.
The only extra thing I would wish is if it could handle pauses and auto-pin entry using DTMF. For example in many of my appointments I have a conf call number and then when I dial that I need to enter a pass code (maybe 4 or 6 digits).
What I usually do is provide something like +44800345678pp321458# to dial and there is no need to enter information manually. If contactBreeze had this feature then that would have made this the ultimate soluion!!
Hi Guys
Im loving my XDA Ignito (removed o2 Rom, now just like a HTC Diamond)
The contacts are displayed "surname, first name" this is soooo frustrating !! Please please could somebody help me convert my contacts to "first name, surname" I have roughly 220 numbers.
Thanks
Adam
Change the "File As" field in each contact. You might be able to do this in Outlook too.
umm... why is this such a problem?!?
are people too stupid to remember a surname?
my friend, when you only have 10 friends, as you must with responses like that, it probably isn't.
On the other hand when you have several Samantha's and such on the phone it can be.
So I would still appreciate some help please.
Cheers
fair enough, but i find it easier to go by surname (and i have many Chris' for example, and it is easier just to go to the one person with that one surname than scroll thru loads of Chris' to find the one with the right surname?!!?!?!?!
i think you will find that ur answer does not make sense.
and on this n00bish argument, there are fricking hundreds of threads about this, so sorry if i'm starting to get pissed off with the question.
Just use the smart dial feature, i have exactly the same problem as you, but i cannot/will not sit there and edit, in my case 286 contacts because microsoft is stupid.
i mean really, if they can file them the wrong way round, surely there is an option to file them correctly, i have been saying this since WM5!!!
NOTHING WILL GET DONE, and i dont think it will
Sorry, guess with frickin hundreds of threads on this there must be frickin hundreds of other people who aren't quite as clever at remembering surnames as you.
Thanks for the help.
Am I talking to myself? Edit the contact and change the File As. All my contacts are firstname lastname.
indeed.
there is no answer to this, most people with technology are used to it.
only Nokia 3310 still have first name first.
why dont u just type the name in one line?
Ruffage, I did try this but unfortunately "file as" only give me one option, i.e. "Smith;John/1"
mugglesquop - Have you nothing better to do than waste my time & yours by writing useless sh*t... F*ck off
usless sh*t??
i told you there is no way of changing them all (AFAIK, and i have read a lot of threads on this)
i also told you a way of storing contacts in the way that you want for future use.
useless?
There must be a way of doing this!!
Also if I do what you said for the future, then I would have half my contacts "firstname, surname" & half "surname, first name" how confusing would that be??

Hmm your contacts are messed up then. I get the choice of both ways to display. Perhaps the name is in one field only in Outlook? Can't check here as I'm not at home atm.
When i go to the properties of the contact, there is only a "Name Field" not a First & Last name field.... hmm ?

It displays like that by default, but there should be a drop down arrow at the right hand side of the Name field and, if you tap that, it'll pop up a further box which shows how the name is actually formatted with the fields Title, First, Middle, Last, Nickname and Suffix.
I changed all my contacts such that only the First name field was populated and had their entire name in there (i.e. "First: John Smith") and that means they all come out as you want with their first name displayed before their last name. That doesn't really help you too much though because you'd have to manually reformat all your contacts which is annoying I know.
Medulla, thanks for that!
I suppose I will just have to spend an hour doing it...
use smartdial or use contact search! why would you want to scroll through a 200 people contactlist?

to show off that he has sooo many contacts apparently
i have to use the recent call list far too many people otherwise
This isnt just me showing off how many people i have in my phonebook (as you say) its obvisouly a common problem otherwise there wouldnt be so many posts about it.
Anyway, it was my old phone what f*cked it up, instead of "first" or "last" name it only put it under "name", so spent an hour or so editing them... now spot on. Also under stand the "file as" now too.
Thanks for all your help (or not for some people)

Hey everybody whatz going,
ExactCallLog is a very good app or USED to be a good app. It was
Essentially a must have for the G1 cuz it completely gets rid of the
2 hours ago, 6 Hours ago crap on the orginal G1 callLog.
Anyway the Version 1.3 or more specificly v1.37....was the last update
Before the new one. It was fully working & stable. I wish I backed it up
On my SD Card using ASTRO file manager. Now its lost & I can't get it back.
The New v1.4 Update almost crashed my phone. I need the v1.3 or v1.37 Version
badly if anybody has the old version & hasent yet upgraded to the new version.
Please please please send me the ExactCallLog v1.3 or v1.37 .apk File & ill post it here
On the Forum for everybody to have. I have spoke wit the developer & he said
That the problems don't exist on his phone. So the new UI is here to stay & it
Really really sucks. V1.3's UI was ten times better.
If u don't know how to get the .apk. All u have to do is Download the File Manager
App Called "ASTRO". In the ASTRO app. They have a "Application Manager".
The "Application Manager" allows you to install or Uninstall any app but most
Importantly, it allows you to backUp whateva program u want on the SD Card as
a .apk File. That u can install wheneva u want.
Use "ASTRO" to back up the "ExactCallLog v1.37.apk" File & email it to me at:
[email protected] & ill post it up on he forum for everybody to have.
through a RapidShare link or something like that.
Thanks Again, In advance.
I hope this post will help a lot of people who have the Exact same problem
In the future.
I just wanted to say that the v1.37 is better cause the UI was perfect &
Was completely free of all bugs & was quick with no lag time.
Ill take either but v1.37 was better than v1.3
OUT!!
I know what you mean, I completely uninstalled it after 1.4 was out. It was lagging like crazy and slowing my phone. Unfortunately I don't have older versions.
-Gus
heres version 1.3.4 the apk is IN the zip hope it works for you guys
Yeah I know all of my friend who was using the New Version
Of ExactCallLog have completely uninstalled it. The developer
Just thinks its Lagging. He dosent realize that its not just slow
There's a TON of other problems wit it. He dosent experience the
Crashes on his phone. So he can't Bug Test meaning we won't get
No update soon....until he feels he wants to add something extra
Hopefully he'll read all the comments & make an update soon but he
hasnt said that he would on the email he sent me.
I Appreaciate that alot "haitiankid4lyf"
Hey this is perfect!! This is Exactly what I needed. This ExactCallLog Version 1.3.4 is perfect in everyway. I hope everyone who wants it comes to this Forum to get it. Cuz this is Really a must have app on the G1. Im soory thatthe developers like the NEW UI but for everyone who loves the Old UIwith absolutly NO BUGZ here it is.
I won't post the "ZIP" again since u already have the Zipped .APK File in the Forum post above me.
This will be used until the death of the G1 unless the CUPCAKE Update really really improves the Default Factory CALLLOG.
In the Factory Call Log. U Cant do nothing!!
*U CANT:
-Erase 1 call entry without erasing the whole List
-Veiw only the "missed calls"or "Outgoing Calls" or "Incoming Calls"
-See the exact time that people called (Only See 3, 4, 6 "Hours Ago")
-See the Day, Month or Year of old calls from 5 days ago
(ExactCallLog shows Exact Time, Day, Month, & Year Of Call)
PLUS: ExactCallLog Version 1.3.4 has a Very Very Amazing feature that allows you to erase all missed, outgoing or incoming calls that come from the same person.
Example:
Long Press on a "Missed" call (Ex: "JOHN (301) 589-3704") in ExactCallLog. When the Options MENU comes up scroll all the way down to the "REMOVE ALL INSTANCES" option & select it. It will erase all Numbers that have the Name JOHN (301) 589-3704. Very Cool. But it will only erase the missed calls from JOHN not the incomming or outgoing. unless u slect JOHN's incoming or outgoing calls specific. It can erase all incoming from John at once or all outgoing from JOHN at once.
Everyone who dosent have it Or lost it like me when they upgraded to Version 1.4
can enjoy this v1.3.4 ExactCallLog App.
Thanks Again haitiankid4lyf". This App shouldve been included wit the G1.
OUT!
But it has a problemd with the notification, when I have a missed call, the notification wont go away unless I view it in the stock call log, annoying!
-Gus
u just hit the "CLEAR NOTIFICATIONS" button on the top right corner. and avoid visit's the stock G1 CallLog. Period.
I never ever use the G1's calllog now
Yes thats true, but if you later receive another missed call, the notification will tell you that you have 2 missed calls, so it will forever keep adding up until you visit the damn thing. He should fix this in version 1.37 though, right?

When I try to d/l the old version from this forum my phone says its unsuccessful cuz the content is not supported by the phone. Any thoughts?
Hello,
I am in no way, shape, or form a developer nor do I understand most of the jargon but I have this idea I thought to put out into the world and hopefully one day use it while marvelling at developer sorcery ?
So, I challenge myself to read every day, most of it done on my phone for convenience, but I often get sidetracked fiddling with my phone and other stuff.. Now, I have the whatsapp widget installed and if it weren't for that I wouldn't read my messages as often. This led me to search for a widget that shows pages of whatever book you want but couldn't find any. And that is the void I thought someone could fill. I can't be the only one struggling to accomplish my daily reading quota ?
I managed a primitive way to accomplish that one night and took screenshots of a book I had and saved the pictures in page number order and used the gallery widget to shuffle through the pictures. This was done when I was insomiac one night and bored out of my mind. It was great in the end but obviously impossible to keep up.
For me, it would be great to dedicate one page of my screen to a widget that can show a page of x book. Maybe even have it turn to the next page after a certain interval of time (like live wallpapers).
Please excuse me if my post was longer than needed or if this wasn't even the right place to post... Have a great day everyone!
