Well I'm confused :shock:
Finally decided to add contacts to my activesync process. All went smooth except... there are about 3 contacts that the number is displayed as (13) 0073-5363 instead of (like the rest of them) 1300735363.
Outlook will not let me change it and nor will the mini :!: weird
Can't seem to find anything in the settings (like changing the name feature) so just wondering if anyone knows of a fix?
I'm totally stumped
it is because of your REGIONAL SETTINGS...
u can switch to other profile...go to SETTINGS...
try on ENGLISH (AUSTRALIA) should be able to view the numbers without any bracket or anything else...
very simple thing to do...try and see...
by the way, if that doesn't help,...then i'm sorry...
coz i'm a rookie also....
Cheers for the efforts efayes,
unfortunately my settings are already set to English and Australia.
anyway will keep playing
sorry paly, in that case, i can't help anymore...
god bless ur mini... :?
cheers!

Sorry to return to an older topic, but nobody answered me and this bug is really annoying...
Sometimes selecting a contact and "send Sms" from its card pulls up a blank SMS form, without the receiver's number already typed in. This happens with some contacts only, but... HOW DO I FIX THIS?
TIA,
yours truly (exhausted)
Hmm... have you tried recreating the contact?
This happened to me before, when sending text messages, or even emails, it lets you just click on the space provided and puts in the contact numbers. However for SMS, use your stylus and tap on the "To:" word.
Ta da! It's actually on the manual and I've been trying to figure this thing out for a while myself. Good luck
I have tried this on my qtek and does not have this bug. Do you need to send sms this way or can you not select message\new then select to to get list of contacts - may solve your problem. If not prob a ROM problem - did a quick search cannot find any references to new qtek italian rom so suggest you go to qtek italian website to look for new rom. Or upgrade to WWE ROM
Good luck
Cutejules: I know you can use that workaround, but still the problem remains. Why only a few contacts have this bug? How can it be solved?
Meschle: I don't think there is any upgraded IT rom, but I will look about the WWE thing (which I don't know anything about, but I'm sure there are infos about somewhere in this forum)
i dont think it pulls up a blank page, the problem I noticed after a while is it pulls up a sms page and shows you half way down the page as if you have scrolled down.
the work around = scroll back up.

the number should be saved as mobile, may be you saved it as somthing els like home or work.
Karzi: nope, it's the actual "To:" field which comes up blank.
Ammar: Nope again. The "missing" numbers are correctly listed as "mobile"
This is really driving me crazy...
Hi People!
I simply don't know what to do. Somehow, my SMS sound disappeared -- too, there is no blinking, no vibration, nothing. can please somebody help me and somehow tell me where the error could be. it's set right in the alerts dialog, when i do a preview there, it works. but a new sms seems not to launch the alert. i remember fiddling around with the regkeys that manage the messaging accounts - maybe there is a naming error?
any help is greatly appreciated...
thanks a lot,
keep posting

Try to go through:
Start - Settings - Sounds and Notifications and then set the sound/vibartion as you like.
thanks, but ..
.. i already tried that, like a hundred times ..
the problem seems to lie elsewhere, as for example in the SMS account name.. fiddling around there may have caused this problem..
BUT i am planning doing a rom upgrade, so the problem will be gone, i think..
btw, is there a generic (HTC, german) ROM version that includes the internal gps-chip? my version: 1.16.407.2 and external rom: 1.16.407.101
Solution found on www.pocketpctweaks.com
as i pointed out the problem started after tweaking my messaging accounts. i now restored them (from a backup i intelligently did) and my sms sound is here again. the "ActiveSync" and "Hotmail" Accounts need to be there in order to have a sms notification ......

Hello,
Is it possible to change the default filter in the contact list ?
By default this filter is "All"; I'd like to set it to "personal"
Thank you for your answers.
Regards,
been looking all over and cant find anything for this. it would be great though!
Edit a contact, go to the categories and change it to personal.
The personal will appear at the filters, if you edit another contact and change the category to work, work will also appear in the filter.
Try it out.
we know how to create filters...the problem is, when you open contacts, there is no filter, you see all the contacts. we want to have it so when you open contacts it is already filtered, say the last filter you picked or a default filter like personal or work. going to filter and changing it everytime i want to see a number is annoying
I have already put categories to all my contact.
The only thing I want is to see only personal contact when I open the contact list.
I searched in the registry but i found nothing ...
Nobody can help us ?
sadly i think nobody cares about this pain in the ass problem keep looking...
Yes, please, please, please.... Can anyone shed any light on this?
I too am frustrated that WM6 does not seem to have the ability to "save" the previous filter, or to let the user choose which filter to have as default (rather than having "all" as default, then requiring a manual filter each time)
It is REALLY frustrating having to trawl through ALL the contacts each and every time.
I have many contacts because I work in a few countries, and have categorized my contacts according to country. It would be super if I could "lock" the filter to a category (in my case country), so when I'm in a particular country, I can just view contacts from that country without trawling through all contacts from all countries.
Is there a fix for this? In WM6 itself? In reg? With a .cab? With a third-party software?
Can anyone help? It would be much appreciated.
I would like to have a default filter too... By the way, I am using WM5 (P3600/trinity), and it also shows everything when you get into the contacts. What I do for the time being is put the contacts I want to see everytime in the quick numbers list of the phone.
I know this thread's a couple of weeks old but I've been searching XDA for a solution. The weird thing is that Windows Mobile had the ability to retain a filter (at least until you rebooted) in Windows Mobile 2003. I had this feature on my Audiovox SMT5600 (HTC Tornado, I think) over 3 years ago.
Old thread I know...
Now that its getting close to 2009... anyone find a solution to this problem/annoyance?
Thansk
i am sick of this, i have wm6.1 and there is still same story, filter is returning to all mode...grrr
in lates version is still same thing ?
can anybody help please.....
is there still no solution?
i've cracked everybit till now and havent yet found how to set up a filter to choose only contacts with email addresses - but no success yet.
i recently imported my gmail contacts on my phone and want to send out an invite to all my friends - unfortunately unless i type a contact name, i wouldnt know which other contact exists there.
its getting be a pain..
any luck
Hi All
Sorry to bring this back, but is there a fix for this yet, i too find it a pain, would be much better if you could choose a default filter and not All.

I'm looking also for a sollution, but Microsoft it's sleeping and dont do nothing about this filter problem... all this years and wm it's the same ****...
well im sure this has probably been covered already, i did a quick search but didnt find anything. so if it has i apologize. now the problem im having is when i receive a SMS from some one in my contacts it doesn't show their name, it just shows the number that it came from with the whole number (ex: +18185555555) is there a setting that i need to set so when i get a txt from one of my contacts it shows their name?
thanks in advance.
maybe you have it wrong in the contacts?
Is the "+" in the number for that person in ur contacts? Try adding the "1" to the area code in there...
Are you running any kind of SMS software or contact software that might be screwing it up? I've installed SMS programs that completely sucked and screwed everything up...
If yo're running a 3rd party Rom, have you run the network wizard?

i just got my wing today, im coming from a MDA. i did a sync from mda to my PC installed the new wing sync software, then synced my wing it copied all my contacts to my wing. i was thinking of adding the + and the 1 to the contacts but that will take for ever as i have over 200 contacts. i just thought since it copied over my contacts with no problem when i would get a txt it would show the name just like my MDA.
I was going to say, make sure you're contacts don't have the "+" since that might affect it.
It should work fine, so I really don't know what to tell you.
If you jsut got the phone today, hard reset it and sync all your contacts to it again and try again.
If that doesn't help, Maybe someone else on here can enlighten us... but it doesn't make any sense, unless for some reason the numbers in your contacts are formatting incorrectly or something.
sigh, and i just got it going with all these new programs that are listed here. oh well ill just hard reset it and start over shouldnt be to much of a hassle. might as well put in a new ROM while im at it.
thanks for your help.
Might as well flash a new rom. The Stock T-mobile Rom sucks.
I'll suggest Touch-IT 4.4
I've had my HTC about 3 weeks and it's the first smartphone I've had so my question may be a bit stupid to you experts
I'm on pay monthly )2 if that makes a difference?
I've had problems with text messages randomly getting stuck in outbox and not being sent.
I've searched on the internet and found HTC have issued a fix LEO08007-07 so I downloaded it from the HTC site and have installed it.
It appears the TODAY app with all the weather , pictures, music shortcuts has now disappeared and I'm getting a blank front screen. The settings menu has changed and I cant access the HTC Message app at all
What have I done wrong and how can I get it back.
Sorry - just found Today shortcut (moved to a different part of screen but it's not working
I also forgot to add ROM 1.43 something
Sorry if it's straightforward. Cheers guys
If you've not done too many customisations I'd suggest a hard reset. To do this, turn the unit off, hold down both vol up and vol down and turn it back on and follow the screen instructions. I'd recommend doing this with both SD card and SIM card removed to be on the safe side
Thanks for that help. It's got me back to the start
Is there anything else 'easy' I can do to stop the texts getting stuck in my outbox?
Is there anything els you'd recommend for a newbie to do.
The ROM is 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE
I hope you guys don't mind helping. As it's my first win mob I want to try and make the most of it but I'm not really tech minded
Its look like you have a bad settings for O2 (data,messages,..)
Go to Start\O2 and click Get Settings.
It should help. If no try this(only for SMS and Voice Mail )
Start\Settings\Personal\Phone\Services choose Voice Mail and Text Messages than press Get Settings.
It should show you these numbers if not fill it
Text massages service center: +447802000332
Voice Mail: 901
Press OK
All done
Hope it help
Thats great thanks.
Hope thats solved my problems
