Problems in Contacts - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General

Is there any way of having more than one mobile number for each of your contacts? I bluetoothed all my contacts to my XDA2 from my P800, but on ones with 2 or more mobiles it only sent one of the numbers (in most cases, the wrong one).
Also how can I set a default number for each contact? It seems that home is the default if a contact has both home and mobile numbers

You just have to be flexble on the "title" you can put any of the hp no into any of the "home tel" or "office tel" and as the change the default goto ur contact list on ur extreme right there is a indication of either a mobile no "M" or a house no. "H" just tap on the letter to change the default look

Aha, you're a star
Many thanks

How to make the Informartion without "bold"

Hi, i am using Dopod 838 (Wizard variant). I have a few cosmetic problems with it. when i view the contacts information some of the items like "Call Mobile" etc are all in Bold. is there a way we can set the "Wt" registry settings to normal for it? Similarly in Today screen also?
Thanks
Krishna
Isn't it bold to show which is the default entry you activate when you call that contact etc?
Pressing right on the dpad when in contact view would cycle the associated "bold" number I think.
Or am I confused?

search contact via phone number

hi,
i know this software exist but am not sure what the software is called.
By basically, inputting the destination numbers say (the first 4 or 5 numbers) it will bring back the names on your list, the more numbers you input the narrower the search becomes. Almost like the SMS texting function.
I need to search for contact names instead of ringing the entire number first.
cheers,
james
The default IntelliDialer does that.
yes there is a software...
Hello jimjamz!
Simply use the search funktion of your pocket pc... type in as many numbers as you want and then search. You will find the contact, the number belongs to...

Caller name instead caller number in SMS

Hi folks,
TIM Brasil send me ans SMS with all calls I've lost. useful when I flying, at arrival I saw who call me.
The problem is the SMS contain the caller number, time and date, so I need to search at Contacts to discover the caller name.
Someone know a piece of software able to look at phone number inside of SMS and scan the Contact to match it, showing the name of the contact?
Best regards
Any ideas?
Here in Italy vodafone sends a similar SMS but sets the sender name to the one who attemped to phone you
In this way the phone shows automatically the name (if it has been stored in contacts)
To quickly discover who's the owner you can do two things:
1) if the message contains "This number +xxyyyyyy tried to call you..." press the down key (the number should be selected by a square box) click and your phone should start dialling that number (doing a lookup in contacts and showing the name)
2) you can remember the first numbers (excluding the international prefix) press "red phone", "green phone" (to quickly start the phone application) and use the hermes' smartdialer to quick find who's the owner.
Try using SPB Diary...
Make sure your numbers are in the international format.

In fact this work, but is not exactly what I want, because after a airplane trip the SMS has 3 or 4 numbers. So I need to call/abort 3 for times... It's not elegant way.
thanks.

WM developer
Hi Guys,
I'm trying again... Is there a WM developer here who could develop a little plug in to do it?
I think is not complicated, but I don't know WM development to do it.
Of course this could sold to the community.
i had once a siemens sl45 and when i had a phone number in a sms it replaced it by the name in the phonebook... i so miss that feature..... i haven't seen it on other phones since then...
I'm not alone
Finally someone understood what I'm saying.
It's very useful this feature. I'm wondering if someone could develop this.
Anybody as a volunteer?
Maybe this is what you need?

Thanks Moe,
It's exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you.

Quick contacts bug with HTC Home Plugin

I tried searching thorugh the xda forums for an original HTC Home Plugin thread, but couldn't locate one, so i'll start here and maybe someone can forward me to the right place.
I have contacts in my contact list that just have a Company name, and not a first or last name.
The problem is that these contacts cannot be added to the quick dial area of the HTC Home Plugin, it will allow you to select it, but it doesn't show up, and you are unable to click that entry to dial the number. However, if you go edit that contact and add a first / last name, then it magically shows up on the quick dial.
Does anyone know of a bug fix / workaround for getting contacts with just a company name to show up? (And please don't say add a first / last name, that's obviously a solution, but not a fix.)
Any way to also have the phone number displayed on the screen as well when selecting a contact?
If you have multiple numbers on a contact, it just lists the contact 3 times.
J.D.
put the company name in the name field and then change file as: to the company name and it won't change it to look like a name

Contacts Default Display "txt" or "m"

Most of my contacts have "m" at the end of number so when I press the send button they call that person right away but those with "txt" wont dial right away but will revert you to the call history page.
I want them to default with "m" always. Any idea on how to do this?
the m means the number is saved as a mobile number, not sure about txt but try changing those numbers, there is also a setting to choose what type of number is dialed by default, this is probably set to mobile
all the numbers I have tested with have numbers in the mobile field inputed the correct way.
I think I answered my own question again by accident.
While viewing your contacts, when you press left or right on the DPAD it will change it from"m" to "txt" and somehow it retains the last option you chose so if you left it at "txt" the next you look back it will be at "txt" still.
Can you guys confirm this?
