Do anybody know app that shows your last saved numbers like i have a lot of numbers in my phone book basically and i forgot someone name i saved *(yea bad on my part) is there anyway to order it with a app?
Hello, does anybody found out how to sort contacts in iDrive system by last name? When I synchronized contacts from HD2, they were listed as Last Name First Name, but when I did it with HD7 they appear in opposite order.
I tried to change these settings in people hub, but it didnt help. It changed in HD7, but in the car it is still the same. I have BMW 730d E65.
Couple of days later, and I am still stucked in the same situation. Anybody could help?
Is it related to the "File As" in the contact? If not, then I would imagine that it's purely down to how the iDrive system interprets it.

Yes, I would contact BMW, it seems the way the Idrive reads the data is why this is happening, have you ever synced any other phones?
On HD2, the phone did not allow you to sort list by names, we had to dl an app to control that, I prefer to view my contact by first name rather then last name.
I know that in Idrive there is a view settings on how its vied but not sure how to access.

Hi, I have synced with my HD2 and it had sorted the list by Last Name, but with the HD7 it is sorted by First Name. I have tried to change the settings in People hub, but it did not help. In iDrive menu its not possible to change anything regarding phone. It just shows the list of the synchronized items.
Hi!
Have you got the solution?
In my car is the same problem, but I have Touch HD. I'd like to view the contacts in order "lastname, firstname". I think it would be anything with bluetooth transmitting procedure of the different phones. Maybe the HD and HD7 synchs the contact name other as HD2. It must be a setting for that anywhere on the phone by Bluetooth, but I don't find it. Maybe a registry tweak...
Bye,
B.
have you tried changing the sort order on the phone? go to settings, applications, people and change whether to sort/ display by first or last name
Yes, I tried that. It is no matter, how is the order on the phone.
But I found an application, Jetware is the name. This application can manipulating the bluetooth hands free setting, right the name's order through a synchronisation.
Now it is almost perfect, just by the names where it's only a firstname in the phonebook, shows now before a "(null)". E.g. on phone is there only a Joe, then on the display of the car it is "(null) Joe"...
Is it possible to display only contacts with phone numbers? I have contacts with only emails I don't want visible..
TIA

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

Doesn't work on EMUI 4.1 on Huawei Honor 8.
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 ?
Dates & times (like "monday" or "tomorrow") will be underlinded in text messages
Hello everyone,
When i open a text message from someone on my Hauwei P9 Lite and there is a date or even just a hint of a date ("monday" or "mon" or "tomorrow"), it will get underlined in blue like a hyperlink. This is to let me "easily" create a new appointment in my calendar. This also happens when I create a new note.
But I don't like that. It will just make the text unreadable for me and it is distracting. I don't use the stock agenda, so I don't need this suggestion of dates.. Is there any way to turn this option off?
I don't know if it is an android 7 problem, or an Hauwei P9 Lite problem, but it is frustrating as hell.
Anyone has any suggestions? Thanks!

I don't think that there's a option for that. But you could try to use for example the official google messaging app and see if there the date isn't underlined.
