Where can i find owner info?

If you want your name to be appeared in touch less control. You have edit your name in the default synced google account.To achieve that simply follow->>>> swipe the top screen with your two fingers click the top left column and edit the name of your account(not in the local profile) in my google+ profile... that's all... you're done..

Multiple Contacts numbers

Hi My mum just got herself the g note and asked the question why cant she put more than one number to a particular contact? comparing this to my s2 the rom feels the same and all but when you want to add more numbers to one contact it only gives prevision for name, last name, phone no. and email and that's it.. My s2 can input more than one number i was just wondering is there a way to do this off stock? or would i have to get a 3rd party app for this?
If its any help its the note n7000b.. (don't know why it has "b")..
Cheers.

Think that's because the contacts are saved to the sim and not the phone memory or sync with Google I have mine synchronized with Google so gives me all the options

Ah see i had always had my google acc as default when adding new numbers so i never ran into something like this.. Well I have made the changes and we are cooking with gas! Just one more thing is there a way to extend the incoming call according to my mum it rings out after 3 times.. again something i had never delt with so forgive the noobish questions

I posted this at wpcentral please help

I have tons of questions about my new Nokia Lumia 822 and Windows phone 8.....
1. Is there a good video chat app like facetime ( iphone ) or google talk....i have a 7 month old I love see while I'm at work.
2. When I create a new text message and I type the first letter of someone's name it only pulls up some people and not all. Example: J for John and I get jenn or Joe bit not John. When I type John I get noting...also when I type k
for Katie nothing shows up....as for the phone app is there a way or option that when I type the # corresponding with their. First name it pulls them up example 6 for m
At least in WP7 you could scroll in the suggestion list to see the additional entries. Perhaps they are just not visible because there are too many hits. There is no smart dialing in the stock dialer but there are Apps that support it (altough those are a little awkward to use as well).
For Video chat I would suggest you use the one that works everywhere: Skype.
Thanks for the help...i have Skype dl however I don't see anywhere it says video chat....why would it not pull up names in k if I only have one?

I had the same issue until I realized I didn;t have their phone number stored as a mobile. It was work or home and the Messaging app only pulls up numbers stored as mobile.
You can find the people under the + sign, or you can change the peoples number to mobile and it will fix the issue for good.
The quickest way to call some one by name is go to people and type name

Thanks Ludo....i actually figured that out yesterday after messing with my numbers....i just feel stupid it took me so long to figure it out.
I got Skype to work on WiFi but not lte...i don't know if its my wife's crap iPhone 4 or if windows can't handle Skype on lte....i wish windows and android could come up with a video chat that works as well as face time and as easy to use...you would think by now they would have...skype is ok its just blurred.

I have used Skype's video call on LTE. Works fine.
Aside from some heat while charging, Skype over LTE works fine for me too. In Queens, NY.

Htc one tv app

Hi all i just got my HTC ONE today and its great been playing with it none stop and i love the idea of the TV control app how ever i am not using a standard tv receiverso the channel numbers dont match is there any way of changing the channel numbers on the phone? thanks
Yeah, head to the remote screen of the app, hit the settings button, button set-up, remote buttons. Then just use a standard remote to teach it the right commands .

Did you choose the right nation/provider when you did the initial setup of the app? If not, go in to the settings and change your provider information.

Yeah i did i use sky uk and thats what it has but my sky box isnt made by sky so the channel list is in a different order
Ah... I'm not sure then sorry, good luck though, sorry I couldn't have been of more help
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
any updates on this? i changed to channel order on my tv to fit my needs... and even if I didn't.. my provider is not in the list...
I search this function as well, we have the channel order on our TV set for ages, and it's not quite the standard order.
Someone got an Idea?
With the new 4.2.2 update it's finally possible to change the channel numbers.
In the TV app --> tv-settings top right, --> Channel --> top right menu --> edit channel. There you can specify channel numbers and swap channels via drag & drop.

Is it possible to change owner name in Google Now?

Hi Guys,
i know its a random question but i was wondering if it is possible to change the name that Touchless Control uses? Ok Google Now can't pronounce my first name so instead its simply spelling it out. i would like to change it to something else that it is can pronounce but so far i have been unable to find out how to do that.

You can try changing your name card. Pull down the notification shade, tap your name/profile icon, tap your name in the floating window, and tap the 3 dots to edit the name. I just tried and it's working fine.

Thanks but that didn't work for me. it is still using my full name. the funny thing is that it sometimes pronounces it right and sometimes it doesnt.

Hmm. Try deleting your "me" contact card and make another one. It must be sourcing from your accounts.
If you use G+ you can change your profile name within the app. It will update on all your Google products. The OK Google Now feature pulls your name from your Google profile.

If you are trying to use an image from your gallery it will disappear. This seems to be a bug. This might be why you can't see your picture. Only the G+ pic works.
Settings > Users and click on the profile, from there you can choose to change it to whatever you want. I just noticed that I don't have my Keep contacts up to date option checked.
I'm sorry if you already did this and it doesn't work for you.

that worked..i really appreciate.
In the contacts app, "Me" is the first contact. Set your photo there, and you don't have to mess with Google+ contacts syncing.
