Hi guys! This is my first post!! Just got an I-mate Jam, just wondering how does one disable SIM contacts on smart dialing. When I try to search a contact on Smart Dial, it shows both contacts I have in the phone and the contacts in my SIM card, therefore 2 contacts would show up. Anyways to fix this?
Please RTFM! :shock:

ooo get the wannabe mod :roll:
What if he got the phone without a manual or has lost it.
Its the guys first post!!!!! The reply was unacceptable.
If i had a manual myself i would have told him the answer.
Ha, I've got the same thing on my MDA Compact- hasn't really bothered me until I saw this topic
I will have to RTFM tonight i think :lol:
It makes a VERY BIG DIFFERENCE if at least explain that the unit was acquired without the manual or CD which contains the manual, or as you (pda) said the manual/CD got lost.
I've been in Tech Support for 15 years and believe me, I know when people ask for help without reading the manual.
@sh500: That's the right attitude! Right on!
i rtfm - 3.3 Smart dialing (page 22 in russian manual) but did not find the solution....
hmm, so zerimar, y dont u tell us how to do it? i believe u do kno how to do it, coz u've been in "Tech Support for 15 years" and must hav "rtfm" pretty many times n probably kno "tfm" by heart.. theres no harm tellin as "Forums are designed to help people" rite? :wink:
From Page 49 of Manual
Smart Dialiing searches the Phonebook entries in both the SIM card and Pocket Contacts, as well as numbers in Call History (Incoming, Outgoing, or Missed).

With what is said in the manual there is no way of filtering out entries from the SIM card. The only way is if there is a 3rd party software that would;
1. Replace Smart Dialing
2. Have similar feature like in Nokia phones to select which phonebook to use .
@Appu: I never read manuals from cover-to-cover for whatever gadgets I buy, but I browse through it to have an idea of the features, capabilities and limitations of the gadget. I keep the manual handy just in case I am not clear about something.
Forgot to mention. The only way would be to delete the entries in the SIM card (anyway a copy is is Pocket Contacts which is then syncronized to Outlook).
aah so thts how it is.. thanx, zerimar..
hope this info by zerimar was useful for btong and everybody else around..
Ah it's a shame there was not concrete answer....
What's not concrete? It's crystal clear that it's designed as a feature but for most of us has become a disadvantage. This shows that's it's a limitation of the OS/software. From the day I acquired my S100 and noticed the problem, I have already started searching for a solution (3rd party software, or registry hack).
This is similar to the BT issue. By default, the only way to switch on BT is to switch off Flight Mode first and this is solved by PocketMax's Phone Alarm.

Well I was making reference to the originial question and the simple answer to it is no, you can't select which phone book to browse; whether the manual was read or not prior to the question being asked.
In my opinion a 'designed feature' in this case would be one that gave users the option. The way it is currently is more of a 'design by default'.
Thanks, that's the answer I wanted... It's my first time posting here, doesn't mean it's my first time posting in a forum. I wouldn't have asked this question if it was clearly written on the menu or if someone asked the same question in the forum... 15 years of tech support eh? maybe it's about time to change job before getting fired...

It is very actual problem. Is there anybody who solved that?
i depend too much on the email auto complete on my pc. is there a way to transfer the autocomplete to my pocket pc. adding eveybody to contacts is stupid and not practical
if there is no easy way to do that, then i believe its a good idea for someone to develop an application to do that.
no, as outlook 2003/2007 rely on an outlook.nk2 file in your windows profile for the autocomplete addresses, essentially an outlook addresses cache, where as windows mobile references its autocomplete right from your contacts list, without a proprietary cache file.
from everything i have seen in Windows, the .nk2 file is not etiable, or readable in any editor, so the options of importing it into WM seems remote.
jeez... this is crazy.
STOP POSTING QUESTIONS HERE!
there's a whole dedicated section for these things!!!
it's admirable that people answer questions and want to help. but this is flooding the Dev&Hack section. stop answering here.
"jeez" !!!
are you really a jew
take it easy nir. i was hoping to get someone intrested in developing this tool as it can be really usuful for far too many people. if a mod thinks this is not good here he should transfer it elseware
two things
- my pocket pcs does auto complete for addresses that i have used before they dont have to be in contact
-there are tool that can edit the outlook.nk2 from NIRsoft(lol) http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/outlook_nk2_autocomplete.html
how hard can it be to simply add the email adresses from the nk2 to the word auto complete in the ppc

Right......
Anyways, nir is right, this is something you should have posted in the Q&A section. Why is this a point you must argue???
I'm still trying to figure your problem. You don't feel like adding the contacts you email in your contacts list? Works fine for me!
i have over 1000 entries in my PC outlook autocomplete cache(as the nk2 tool shows)
i want to make use of these entries on my pocket pc. i always find myself in a position where i have wait untill im in the office to send an email because i dont have the address in my contacts. i really hate adding contacts that i will not constantly use as they tend to slow the system and make searching harder.
- i did not mean to disrespect nir of anything like that. not sure how you got this impression.
actually the software linked above can create a text file with all the entries. whats left it to feed this file to the ppc auto complete. anybody willing to help with that?
am i the only one who finds a utility like this very useful
i'm lost.
and ... what?
yes, i'm jewish. what's your point?
and please, post your questions/problems in the Questions & Answers section.
that's all i'm saying. i just happen to run into 20 new threads a day and it's driving me insane.

jeez, are you really a moron???
You must be if you rely on the .nk2 file for your auto complete. That is one of the quickest files to get corrupted on windows. So much so that windows will automatically delete it if it does become corrupt. It was never ment to be a feature, just a conveince. That is about as stupid as buying a 1tb hdd and never backing up.
let's not fight.
let's live in peace.
[SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE]
let's post questions in the Questions & Answers section of the forum thank you very much and not answer questions here because it makes people ask more questions here which makes more people ask questions here.
[/SUBLIMINAL MESSAGE]
and fatso, i'll take the "jew" comment as a compliment and leave it at that.
cheers..
mr.incredibly stupid. take your incredibly arrogant, irrelevant and usless answer elseware. if you are too stupid or blind to see how something like this can potentionally be usuful to some, then i feel sorry for you.
in the first post i asked if someone was willing to develop a small utility (in my second reply i asked to transfer this if the mod thought it was in the wrong place) . i got trashed because part of my original request "sounded like a question" i think your all are making a big fuss over nothing. almost non of the replies is usuful up till now.
nir, i just thought that it was weird for a jew to say jeasus...it was a crappy joke and you all made it even crappier by dragging it on for ever instead of making an effort to reply to the request.
I found a very small and tidy .cab on here about a week ago that simply changed the filing order from Last, First, to First, Last. Now I've gone through 40 pages and CAN NOT find it to save my life. I found two other threads, one asking how to, the other with a MANUAL fix for this issue, but I simply can't seem to find this little .cab that does it for me perfectly.
If anyone stumbles upon it pretty pretty please lemmie know where it went!
THANKS!!!!!
Microsoft MyPhone backed up the .cab and I didn't even think about that! Haha.
For others with the same issue, search "Contact_Changer" OR I'll send the .cab if someone wants to host it for others to download!
Thanks XDA!
(Sorry about taking up thread space, MODS feel free to delete this thread.)
do you think u can just load it up on here just add as an attachment to a reply then we can all download it. i would like this cab ... i used the search for contact_changer and this post keeps showing up and not others.
Contact changer: http://www.shubaroo.com/index.php?module=contact
This worked for me =)
I just saved my contacts as a csv, opened it up and swapped the columns.
only prob is that i have commas after the first names. no biggie to me
Hello everyone. I am a second year electronics student and am now working for my General Radiotelephone Operator License (GROL). I am looking at having to memorize the answers to just under 700 questions. Its rather tough lol. The reason I am here is simple. I have searched and searched and have not found any software for my touch pro that will help me study for this test. I don't know how to write programs but I know that many of you out there do a phenomenal job. I am looking for someone that would write a program for me that would quiz me on all the questions for the GROL. In fact I believe that if one where interested in making a few dollars he or she could go all out and make a program that creates a full exam from the test question pool, then watches which ones the user gets wrong and makes sure to ask them more often. It would also be cool if a pop up window came up explaining the proper answer. I also think it would be nice to have a screen at the end showing results. I know at first this seams daunting but I do have software that came with my book that is close to this and could send you a copy. Also, the entire question pool is listed on the fcc website. It wont let me post the link here but if you contact me by email i can find it for you.
The GROL only requires sections 1 and 3. The only other program similar was marked at $40.00 and for the pc. Nothing has been found for the PPC where it makes the most sense. During random downtimes a person can do a few random questions here and there. I believe that if made to look nice with a nice touch style interface someone could post this to windows marketplace and sell it for $20.00 easily and make some nice cash on it. I would learn to program and do it myself if it weren't for the fact that I am in class now and need it ASAP.
Thanks in advance for all that entertain the thought of taking this on

It's not exactly what you said, but maybe you can use SuperMemo UX & SuperMemo Mobile. It's free software, but you will need to build your own course.

I know this is an older post. And I knkw what you mean, and are talking about. I am changing career fields into Avionics, and a classmate has an app for his (cry)Phone. But in the Google Play Store, they have some, but they are expensive for what it is ($19.99 and $12.99). I can't find anything except crApple. Absolutely no Android. I can't even find anything where someone ported the CD that is in the book over to Android and other platforms. I have coppied the files from the CD to a folder on my computer called "GROL." So I didn't have to have the CD in my computer the whole time. I'm going to graduate at the end of this month, and I only have Element 1 done. Partly its my own fault for waiting until now. But either way, I'll have 3 & 8 done. But it would be nice if I could take the studying with me when I have life going on and not by my computer. Lol
Android surpassed crApple, and yet we still get kicked to the curb.
I used to live in Denmark where the banks provide you with a coloured wallet card on which you write a load of numbers including your 4 digit pin however, only you know the location of the four numbers you need.
I have seen an iphone app or two that do the same thing:
http://www.mochasoft.dk/iphone_pin.htm
or
the HideYourPin app on this page http://bragoszewski.com/iphone/
Basically I would love to know if there is a similar app for the Android platform.
Regards
David P
If this isn't already available, if someone can make it (preferably like the top link in the post above) I would be eternally grateful and you never know, it could make you a few bucks on the market as well
Cheers
David P
I agree, that would be a nice app.
good idea... i think it's not very hard to implement... i will try it this weekend

Fabulous and thanks in advance for trying
did you get my PN last friday? i have a first version that needs to be tested, an translated to correct english
just seen the message and am grabbing it now. Will test and get back to you by tomorrow
Thanks again
David P
@troedi,
It looks great and I wouldn't even change the english within the instructions very much. I will send you via PM later on today any changes I think would be benefificial regarding the wording.
How difficult would it be to have multiple patterns? So you would start the program and then have a list of your saved PINS, one per pattern, and selecting the required PIN opens up the appropriate pattern for viewing or editing?
Regards
David P
An absolutely brilliant idea!
And, could you possibly make this an 'open' beta? I would love to start using this.
Thanks.

thanks for your comments! i think it isn't very difficult to manage more than one pattern. should be realisable in a few hours! as far as i can remeber i've coded the app well-structured enough.
@LukeHandle: i will send you a pn in the next minutes
Why didn't you post it here, so we can all be beta-testers and thus the app will be out sooner?
ok... you've convinced me
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/2817943/Pin%20Code%20Keeper_beta.apk
Let me know when you have the multi pattern version up and i'll give that a test too and well done, looking great so far
David P
ok, gonna give it a try and post back
Any news on a multi pattern version of this app? I couldn't find fault with your help text so far hence not sent any PM with verbiage.
Looking forward to testing the latest version once it's ready
David P
the multi-pattern version is nearly complete, but there are little bugs when saving a pattern! but i can't spend much time on the app the next two days. I think the app will be ready for testing on friday evening!!
oooo nearly time for more testing
>>> Here it is <<<<
Enjoy testing my app and please tell mi if you think it's ready for the app market
_________________________________________
Edit: download link removed -> use market to download. Look for "Pin Code Keeper"
Downloading and installing now
Thanks again and will feed back shortly
David P
Instructions are great.
2 things to mention though:
1. It wouldn't install over the top of the previous version even though it identified that it was an updated version so I had to uninstall the old and install the new.
2. Might I recommend that on each patter, net to the Pin Code Kepper in the title bar, you also add the pattern name given when a user edits the words "New Pattern" to something to better remind themselves?
So the title bar Might look like this (see attachment)
Kind Regards
David P
