i knwow this might be stupid and yes i did search but how can i display my contacts by first name instead of last?
Only way I have found is either buy Contact Changer for $.99 to do entire list or you can change one at a time, in each contact go to edit\file as....
ok thanks anyway
I have a package from the Raphael Kitchen that I used to cook into my ROMs but when I added the reg key and DLL, it didn't work.
Also noticed that when I changed multiple contacts to display F/L some of the changes didn't save or reverted back to L\F!
Weird!
There is an option to file the contacts as First, Last or Last, First.
It is somewhere in the contact options or the contact list options.
You can change it when you edit the contacts
hi, what i do is that i just leave the first name field empty, and instead put the whole name in the last name field with the first name first
Has anybody noticed that the file as option has gone in the latest offical ROM. I was trying to change a contact testerday and could not get this option even within the Microsoft Contact manager Edit screen.
Edit: Found it, must be going mad!

Hi all,
This is very strange!
1) on the contact tab the all contact option does not work
2) I can see only the favorites contacts
3) I can insert only 15 favorites contacts
4) to go to a contact i need to browse all contacts till that one (there is no alphabetic shortcuts
5) there isn't any find/search option.
I'm a newbie so can some one tell me if it's the original stings or i did something, is there anything I can do ?
regards

1) on the contact tab the all contact option does not work
Click on all people soft key on the left side and you will see all contacts just the same way yo reached it in point no.4
2) I can see only the favorites contacts
The same answer like #1
3) I can insert only 15 favorites contacts
Yes thats true
4) to go to a contact i need to browse all contacts till that one (there is no alphabetic shortcuts
Alphabetic shortcuts appears in the right side of contacts dont us see it?
5) there isn't any find/search option.
Yes there is... on the top of contacts there is a filed you can click on it to enter the name or first characters of the name you are searching for and the keyboard will appear automatically to let you write
If you are looking for someway to find names to call I think smart dial will be a good way for you .. just open the phone and start writing the first characters or numbers and it will show you the appropriate names / numbers by searching in all contacts and call history

the TF3D has only place for 15 contacts and if u want more then it takes you to the normal contacts of the phone itself and HTC has its own alphabetical order and the search option is above the contacts page. and u can use alphabetical letters right side of the contacts page .In TF3D itself there is no option to search for contacts or to see all contacts there that would have been very handy if they had integrated the contacts program directly into the TF3D but its not !! maybe next relaese over the coming years !!
1. Nothing happens when i click all people soft key on the down left side
4. Nothing on the right hand side (no alphabetical short cuts)
5. there is no filed to search
Maybe there is a way to activate it from the registry ?
My rom is 1.93.456.2 wwe
Regards,
Tal
The same like my rom
I think there is some problem happened while you update the rom ... becase this is an error .. did you try to hard reset?
Did you install language pack ? For example czech sunnysoft language pack do this - if you install it, it cannot be possible to open contacts
I installed the P.D.A.C Hebrew language.
Is it possible to correct it via the registry ?
PLZ,
Can any1 help me i can't see all my contact just the favorites ones.
need an expert!!

I know this can be changed, and to my embarrisment I cannot find it on here anymore on how to do this. Could anyone please tell me the reg value I need to change to not have my TD show surnames first (who tought up this idiot setting to begin with?).
you can change it, go into contacts, edit and change it in "file as"

funny enough, that doesn't really matter. At least not with the built in BT carkit in my C4 picasso. It will still show firstname/surname.
If there is indeed a registry key to change this, I would like to know. Perhaps that DOES give the result I am hoping for.
how i writr my contacts is as follows ( works in outlook contacts aswell ) where you have to put first ,name ,middle ,last, etc just write the full name in the first name column e.g you would write the name John Smith ,with john in the first column and smith in the last colume ,but just write john smith in the first column and it should be ok .hope you understand.
This is a way of entering/adding NEW contacts to the phone. As I understood, sjaak1234 wants to change this display mode for the contacts already in the phone. Manually editting of each contact is not a good way to follow...say you have 400 contacts...edit each one of them? Gee...I event don't wanna think about it.
An easier way (as I did it in the past since I couldn't find another way) is to export your contacts from Outlook into Excel, than concatenate the two text strings "First Name" and "Last Name" into one single text string (under "First Name" for ex) and import back the file in Outlook. Then, by syncing you should get the adress book properly sorted and displayed. It should take no more than 10 min.
That's in Outlook But that setting does not exist on my phone

If you want your Contacts to be displayed as First name then Last name, use this cab else this one for the reverse.

Um,
it is great but.... what do I do? I installed it and nothing has changed in my Contacts. What am I missing?
Patrick
edit: found it, I have to tap on a contact in the contact list and select first-last and do that with every contact. I get it

Thats a standard feature, you don't need to install anything to get that.
In that case I realy don't understand what installing the cab has added

Hi all,
I bought the Touch Diamond2, and have noticed this really annoying problem.
I have a list of contacts (that their names were modified in Outlook 2007, and then transferred to my phone), that whenever they call I can see their number but not the name associated to them (above the number it displays: "(unknown number)"). If I choose to add the number to their name (which is already there - it just asks me to update it), then their name appears if they call. After I add it, it seems like the same exact number - no change at all.
Another thing is, if I enter a number manually that is already stored in my contacts, it doesn't show the name of this contact. If I select the number from my contact page, it does show the name and picture as it should.
Am I the only one experiencing this? Is there a setting in the device i'm missing?
Please help,
Thanks
Hello!

hey there,
i just recently update my att tilt to a new rom that was generously created by someone here. what i notice is the text messaging function lost one thing that i would like back. on the old default rom, if i was to start typing in the name of the person i am trying to send a message, the contact would list a few ppl that would be my possible choice. as of right now i have to go to menu and add reciept and i think that just takes to long. any cabs out there to fix this?
thanks in advance
try this
i had that same problem, but i found out that if i type the name and just hit space, it will show up at the bottom and you can select from a single-line menu and use the left and right d-pad buttons to select your contact without going through the hassle of adding a recipient and all that...
hopefully that helps?
wow that did the trick!
I have problems with Samsung's contact contact 81
The first one is with the contact insertion form. It only looks at the name as the subform for surname, name and nickname no longer appears.
The second problem is the contact's order, I choose to display in the settings the Surname, name format, however the format is by name but not as selected in the settings.
There is also a problem with sorting contacts, even if selected by last name is sorted by name.
this proble is for me since Nugat . from khongloi ti infinity fan rom
nobody can help me ?
