HI All - Does anyone know how to force the phone display to show my contacts as <first name> <second name> rather than the other way a round?
I tried the hack available at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41968&sid=b73d9d6aacdea440d7d0dd916618b70c
but it didn't seem to make a difference
Dear stevep,
After installing this hack, you should tap and hold on the name in the contacts window and choose " File as: First Last " from the menu...
Regards and thanks...
Hiya! Are we talking about the same window? I mean the one that appears in the phone application. I think you are talking aobut the 'tap and hold feature' in CONTACTS app NOT the PHONE app. If I 'tap and hold' when in phone mode...I just get a window that shows all that contact's telephone numbers plus an option to send them a text
Thanks anyway
Dear stevep,
I meant that, after installing the hack, if you tap and hold in the contacts on a name and choose " File as: First Last " from the menu, then the name order is changed to First Last and this should also effect the phone window view.Now you should see the same view order in the phone window...
Regards and thanks...
File as <first> <last>
Hi again - Thanks for the reply
This is strange. The names are filed 'First' then 'Last' in Contacts, but in the phone view SOME aren't. I specifically changed one in Contacts to First Last...and when I opened up the phone window it was showing LAST, FIRST
:x
Dear stevep,
i advice you to soft reset after changing the orders to first last, because the phone window doesnt refresh it self till soft reset...May be this helps...
Regards and thanks...
Names 'order' in Contacts
Sorry...it does not appear to do this even after a soft boot. ie I still get LAST FIRST in some contacts in the phone window whilst they are FIRST LAST in Contacts
Thanks
I'm sure this will have been covered, but I've tried searching a few different terms with no luck
If I have a contact named 'Eddie' I want to be able to dial 3334 (eddi) and it show his name, I press and it dials.
It used to do this for me, I'm not sure what I did to make it stop. How do I turn such a feature back on?
Many thanks in advance.
Is dialer>menu>view and "Calls and contacts" selected? Some more info about your problem please?
Yes, it's selected. What other info do you need?
When you press for example 3334 what happens? Numbers appears of course but does Eddie appear at all? Or is your problem that the name appears but nothing happens when you are trying to select and call it?
Nope, just the numbers appear
Weird, I have stock HD and as well as I know that dialer "view calls and contacts" option is only way to make that happen or not. What if you put "eddie" in speed dial, Dialer>menu>speed dial>menu>new, does it work?
No, doesn't help.
I should have mentioned sorry, I'm on Davideuck V3 ROM.
One thing I notice, I type the name and it can guess the name as I press the keys, but just the name, no actual contact.
I have tried to find if this has been answered elsewhere so I apologise if I have missed it.
Got my HD2 this morning and the first thing I did was update the firmware to 1.48.
Synced with Outlook and it has my contacts. Tried to put my wife on the People tab as a favourite. My previous phone would have stored her and I would have had to select her work or mobile number after selecting her picture on the tab. However, I see I have to choose which number when I add her as a favourite. That's OK - so I select her mobile number. I then try and add her again with her work number as a separate favourite but that deletes her first entry. It looks like you can only have one favourite per contact even if they have more than one number. Surely that can't be right? I don't want to have to create separate contacts for every number for my favourite people!
Have I missed something?
TIA

Choose which number you're most likely to call - once the contact is added as a favourite, if you tap the name (as opposed to the picture) it will bring an "action" screen listing call mobile, call work, call home, send message, send email etc depending on what info is available for that contact
Thanks for the help, Isadora. That's good as it means I can have more favourite people. The only disappointent is that it is a little more difficult to hit the name instead of the picture if you're walking fast or something like that. But thanks again anyway.

If you add "View Contact Card" then the default action for that contact is to bring up the action list where you can call them, text them, email them etc..
It's a bit more like the original people style that was exhibited in TouchFlo.

When you select which contact you wish to add to the grid on People tab a seperate window will be displayed ^ the phone numbers & the option to add contact card will be there. Good luck!
Great! That's just what I needed. Now why can't a 310 page userguide tell you that?
Thanks

this is probably easy to fix or just an error on my part.
I'm using the official rom with some theme mods.
So when i go to the contact list, click on a contact and then click the "call mobile phone" entry for that contact, the option gets activated/grey background, just to get deactivated half a second later and it never actually dials the number (same with people in the favorites list)
The contacts are stored on the phone and copied over from my blackstone, so I know the numbers are all valid.
Anyone got any ideas? Any help would be appreciated
[edit]
oh and i can dial just fine when i hiz phone on the today screen, go to the menu and choose "open contact"
[edit2]
I just realized, when I'm on the contact page of a contact (where you see there phone numbers and so on), I can click Menu -> Show more information, which takes me to the "old" contact page (as it used to be in wm 6.1), where calling someone works as well.
So there are ways around this, it's just annoying having those 2 more presses just to call a number.
When I go to make a phone call, there is not an option to Put in a name or letter of someone in the call list. It makes me hit contacts and search the of names and emails. Most smart phones today will have a drop down or contact guesser as you dial.....any fix for this. I do I have to keep searching over a hundred or so contact along with all emails contacts =(
Did you try the WP7 specific "search button" once you opened the phone dialog? On your HD2, it´s actually mapped to the "Home" hardware button. Try it in other situations, too, it´s really good!
