How do I change the default number that is displayed when using the smartdialler, eg when I key in a contact it shows up their mobile, how can I change it so that it's their home number as default?
Thanks
Changing Default Number
The built-in Contacts applications displays the work phone number of a contact as the default phone number on the main screen when you are viewing the list of all the contacts. If you want, you can change the default phone number that is displayed with the contact name on the main screen. To change it, tap on the single alphabet letter that appears next to the phone number of the contact in the contacts list. The letter is usually w (that corresponds to the work phone), but can also be h, m, c, r, or e (that correspond to home, mobile, car, radio phone, or e-mail address respectively). When you tap on the single letter, a drop-down will list all the phone numbers and e-mail addresses that you have entered for that contact. The default listing for the contact will have a bullet in front of it. You can tap on any phone number or e-mail address in the drop-down list to make that the default listing for that contact.

Hi,
On my MDA, when I go to the contacts, I don't see the phone numbers but only the name of them and it's well (I have choosen to display them like this in the options)...
But when I want to send a SMS and I go to the contacts by this way, the name AND the phone number is displayed ?!?!
How can I only display the names in the sms application too ?
Thanks in advance...

You can't, as this view does not have any option to choose which number should be used. So it displays the contact one time for each attached number.
When I open a new text message, and start to type the contact name in the 'To' field, usually my MDA Vario starts showing a drop-down box with suggested contact names, which narrows down to the correct contact the more letters I type in. This seems to work fine exept for one contact name, where I have to click on the 'To' and choose the contact manually. Any idea why it chooses not to guess or auto-complete a particular contact? It's not set up differently from what I can see.
how to increase the number of SMS recipient to be shown when I type some letters in the "TO:" field? Currently it automatically shows only 3 contacts to choose from.
I already change both the font of compose & read from 11 to 8 by using registry tweak
even the Screen text size already changed to the smallest under Settings
and used the "E-mail" program icon rather the "Messages" icon in the honeycomb menu
Its still showing 3 drop down recipients only.
Found the solution
Use any Reg Editor
HKLM/System/inbox/RecipientAutoComplete/MaxSuggestions
changed the DWORD Data value to any number you like i.e. 15
in an sms message, potential phone numbers are underlined. and tapping on it will give you the option to call these numbers. however, this option is not present for numbers located inside contacts or calendar entries.
is there a program that can do this?
When going to the phone dialler, you can tap out the name of a person but it does not give you the option to call any of the associated numbers. Seems to only come up with one number (probably the first in the list).
This was coming up wrong for a few people I call a lot so I set their default number. I now don't know how to deselect the default number (so there is no default). I want to do this because when I add a short cut to a person on the desktop, it will give a drop down list of numbers to call if there is no default but dials the default number automatically if it does have a default number.
Seems really bizarre. I would have expected:
Being able to call any number when entering a name from the dialler (with the default number first if it has been set).
Being able to call any number from a person short cut regardless whether a default number is set or not.
Being able to remove a default number from a contact.
Any help or workarounds will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
I am on JM2 and I don't have this problem. Whenever I start typing the name of a contact, it appears, I press on it and all the number are there to choose...
That's promising. Are you able to confirm if there is a way to remove the default number selection from a contact once it has been set? Thanks.
