after upgrading the ROM my o2 mini's contacts has been working weird! i used to locate a specific name using the "ABC tab" on top or "find a name" search box, but now both of them are not working anymore! =(
whenever i pressed on the ABC tab the cursor would jump to the last entry of the phone book... and whatever i put into the "find a name" search book the last entry would always be the result...
HELP!!!

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 suddenly have to do it without contacts completion in the Messaging program.
Before, I could just type the first 3+ letters of a contact name on the 'To:' line in email/sms/mms/ messages and a pick list came up showing the corresponding contact(s) to pick.
That neat pick list doesn't come up anymore.... not even after a soft reset.
There still is the 'Check names' option in the menu, which also comes up with the appropriate name when entering only a few 'To:' letters, but the pick list is much more efficient ofcourse.
Note: I'm using the 2.00.04 PV PRO Crossbow ROM.
Anyone the solution?
Thanks!!
There...
....already found the solution.
Because every Crossbow version still has this 'Suggestion words when entering text' issue, I set 'suggest after X words' to the maximum of 7 letters, so that when I accidentally forgot to disable the suggesting (when Crossbow's bug enabled it again after a soft reset) the suggesting wouldn't come up by typing short words.
The thing is that, even when the entire suggesting is disabled, the number of letters you set up for 'suggest after X words' still affects the number of letters you need to enter on the 'To:' line in a new message before you see the mentioned pick list.
So, solved.
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
Hi,
can someone help med to find the place where i switch on the "search names in contact list" when im go to sms or dialer. I know i saw it once but cant remember.
It was so easy to just write the name in the dialer and the contact just popup.. same in the sms function.
/MP
all people
click on "all people" there is search function right on top(with a magnifying glass) to search for contacts, from where you can send call, sms, email so on
or simply type the contacts name in the "to" field of new sms you will get their contact number
if that did not help please be more specific in your request
no , not that kind of search. But it was a good tips.
When go into "New SMS", the coursor start at "TO:" from there i can( or could) i start typing names and it find matchings from the phonebook. Or when i got the dailer up, i did'nt need to know the number, i just start to type the name and it find matching names from the phone book.
I know that i saw it somewhere in the settings, but cant find it again. Or have Dutty Rom not that function maybe.
/M
not sure it works like that in SMS but if you start to type a name then use menue "check names" option it will list all that match.
in phone dialler it seems to check the list automatically but i think it is just the recently dialled numbers?
Yes, you found it, so simple.. wonder how i get the "Check Name" to be check all the time, not only for that sms.
Normally, it should automatically check Names if you begin typing in the "TO:" field.
Or am I wrong?
not on my Dutty 3.9 turbo. I know that on the original rom it was like that.
Weird, my 3.8 Dutty does still have this feature....
Sorry I can't help you
Hey guys,
I was trying to edit some contact, and I want to copy last name and past it into first name. But although I select last name and keep it pressed, menu for copy and paste is not showing. Is this a bug or I'm doing something wrong..
No, you are not doing anything wrong.
It's because the custom Contact editor that HTC included with the Topaz doesn't support Copy/Paste.
Hopefully HTC will provide a fix for this in the upcoming months (or possibly with the 6.5 upgrade) But until then, you can either edit the contact using the WM Contact editor (which I think you can Copy/Paste) or just input all your names manually.
You can switch the SIP to "Keyboard" and then use CTRL+C and CTRL+V.
Tap the contact you want to edit, tap on "Edit Contact", scroll down and tap on "More".
There you will enter the default WM6 Contact editor where you can do the copy(cut)/paste thing you wanted to do.
Thanks,,,it's working!!
