[B]Contacts on the Touchflo3d[/B]

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
Tal

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!!

Surname first in SMS inbox?

Hello,
I am using HTC Diamond 2 for 3 months already. Recently i had restored from backup all my contacts and since then in Htc SMS all names start from First name then Surname. Before Surname was the first.
When i am creating new sms message and search for contact all of them are in Surname,Firstname form. But when i point one i need it is changing by itself to Firsname Surname.
Is there any settings or tweak to change this? I need Surname to be the first, it is more convenient for me.

I do not know how to do all contacts at once, but individually you can go to Windows (Not Manila) Contact manager and select a contact\edit\file as.

Thank you Bruce for reply.
No, this does not work. I already have all contacts in Contact Manager as Surname, Firstname. Same in HTC SMS when i browse for contact to create new sms.
The name's order changes by it self in a second, right after i had add it to new sms. Also i had tried to use Vito SMS chat and there is no such problem, in all names Surname are first one. So, i guess, it is problem with HTC SMS.
Any clue?

In htc people tab all people, select contact, edit contact, scroll to bottom, select more, on 2nd page click in the field "File as". You will need to do each contact individually.

Thanks Codehunter for reply, but your answer is basically the same as Bruce's ones. I had already all my contacts with FileAs field looks like Surname, Firstname and this does not help me.

Add yourself to your phone/Google contacts list with the phone number you're using.

i already do with a picture and my phone facebook twitter and same

I suppose if you go in menu --> setup --> telephone information --> status --> my phone number
you will see this field BLANK.
this is the problem
the solution is 2 steps.
First step - set your telephone number.
extract your sim-card from the nexus and insert it in another phone (like blackberry or some old sony).
Then navigate to sim-setup and in this section you have the possibility to edit your telephone number. (nexus does not allow this operation, this is why you can solve only using another phone)
Second step - create a contact with your name and your telephone number
easy from "contacts". Add your personal image.
then you'll see your personal image on sms
try and let me know

[Q] How to change/remove a contact's primary number?

For some reason with many contacts; there is a number set as a "Primary". I didn't choose any of these numbers to be "Primary" and they are the first choice whenever I'm making a call or sending a message. How do I change/remove that? How to make a phone number primary?
I'm on 4.4.2 and Sense 5.5. All my contacts are also Google contacts.
Thanks in advance!

Open the ''people'' app, select a contact then tap and hold the number you want as ''primary'', it will open a contextual menu. Select ''set as primary number''.
Hope this help.

There is no such an option to set as primary. I tap and hold the number and I get only the options in the attached screenshot?

Really strange, look at my menu:
Maybe it's because your contact are saved on the sim and not on the phone?

Very strange, we are running the exact same software.
I have zero contact on the SIM, but all my contacts are Google contacts as well -I save all my contacts to my Google account. Maybe that's the reason? If so, do you have any idea how to change the primary number changed then? Are your contacts also being Google contacts?

my contacts are also google contact. Even some contact are linked to facebook/hotmail accounts and still have the possibility to set a primary number.
Maybe you could create a test contact with different parameters and see if you can make it work..

The same idea came to my mind and it did not work at first -I was coming to post the results, but here you are having the same idea. I rebooted the phone and now the "Set As Primary Number" has appeared with all contacts. Very strange!!!!

"Mark As Default" option disapeared from Andrpod 4.3 ?
Hello,
There is more than 2 hours that I am searching for a solution to this problem.
According to my search, it seems that the option menu to set a default phone number in a contact (if we have several numbers in a contact) has disappeared since android 4.3. That's probably why alray and M_Shaaban don't have the same menu, they have a different android version ?
Could someone confirm this info ?
Is there a way to get back this menu to set a primary or default phone number in a contact with a option menu as "Mark As Default" or "set as primary number"
Sorry in advance for my english, I'm french

I'm on KK 4.4.2, Sense 5.5. I have the option to set a number as primary. Make sure you're selecting a number that isn't the primary number. Long press that entry until the menu pops up. "Set as primary number" should be there. If you bring up the menu on the number that is already the primary, the option will not be there.

Unfortunately this is one of the few bad things about Lollipop. The ability to display only contacts with numbers was removed.

These are the only options I've been able to find of what contacts to display

I had this option in my Note Edge, but in S6 I don't see it.
I was looking under phonebook, contacts etc.
Where is this option? Is it really gone?

I found a way to fix this but it takes a bit of savey but this is a developers forum...
Export your google contacts (csv)
Sort your contacts by the phone number (there's 4 fields there, I sorted all 4 type/number) since I wasn't entirely sure the mobile 1 is really always there or not if there is a mobile 2 (1 is primary) but regardless I just wanted to separate the entries with phone numbers and those that didn't.
After sorted I deleted everything without a number.
I went into gmail and made a Phone contact list (if you want you can make an example entry so you know what it looks like I guess) but I could tell it was like * something:::* All Contacts in the one field, I just changed this to * Phone:::*All contacts
then I wrote out the file
Unfortunately even thought it's a CSV it tab delimited it vs comma (this may have been the libreoffice)
so i edited with vi and substitute all tabs with ,'s
s/(control-v)(tab)/,/g
when I did this is also had three "blank" lines at the beginning with all ,'s so I just deleted those to get the titles on the top.
I then went back into gmail contacts and imported this file
It populated all those entries in my Phone contact list
I then went to the phone and told it to only display entries from my Phone contact list and ...
PRESTO - I see only the entries with numbers now
Everything else is there but I don't see it in my phone when i want to select someone to dial!
Personally I think this is BS to have to do this but I just don't think there is another option.

Solution
A simpler solution is by going to Contacts - Settings - Display preferences - Hide incomplete numbers.
Im running MIUI 7 Lollipop
