Default filter in contacts? - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

As I don't want to scroll thru all my 300 contacts when searching for one, does anybody know how to set a specific "filter by category" as default?
It's quite annoying that if a filter is once set, the setting will be gone when opening "contacts" again.
Some way to keep it?

Can anybody give me a hint?

Use a mort script or hack it.

Pocket Informant Ringtones on Contacts

I am using Pocket Informant on my Cingular 8125 and the list box that is supposed to contain a list of available ringtones to assign to a specific Contact is empty on half the contacts. Some contacts have the ringtones list and on some it is blank. I can not figure out a difference between the contacts that would cause this. Anyone else have this problem and figure out a solution?
If you select a contact, and select edit, @ the top of the screen, is an option 'Add Field To Editor'. Select this, then select Ring Tone. Now, at the bottom of the screen is the available field! Unfortunately, you have to do this for every contact you wish to have other than the default ring tone...
Hope this helps!
I did that. The problem is that the ringtone list is empty on about half the contacts - and I can not figure out why.
Hey guys, I am using the Pocket Informant as well, and I have a problem I wanted to see if either one of you figured it out. I cant get the calendar to link to my left softkey on my 8125? I see some posts about it around, but I still have not figured it out. Also, I dont really like the contacts in Pocket Informant, but that links to the Right Softkey, I would like it to use the normal contacts, as opposed to pocket informants. So basically do either of you guys know how to change the links to the softkeys.
Thanks

or

Simply change it from Calendar.exe to Calendar.lnk and that should fix it.

Change where contacts point on HTC Menu?

Hi there,
On the HTC main menu bar, the one you slide horizontally, there is a shortcut to the HTC contacts program.
I don´t like this program since I can´t have a grouping of contacts per company which the built-in contacts program have.
So I was wondering how I can change the shortcut on the HTC menu to the built in contacts program instead?
I checked on other forums and the reply was that it probably can´t be done, maybe it can be done with a registry hack. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help ...
You can't change the Manila default program to show another program in the contacts tab.
One solution would be to set one of your soft keys or a hardware button to point to the contact program of your choice.
Also some contact programs like Resco CM can be set as your default program, but that just means it will open when you press All Contacts in the contacts tab.

Correctly Configure your settings
extract GetBinaryFromReg
Connect Phone to computer(Activesync)
run .bat file in GetBinaryFromReg(follow the prompt)
rename RapiConfigOut.xml to _setup.xml
Extract Cabwiz_tools
replace the _setup.xml with the one you just renamed(from GetBinaryFromReg Folder)
Run .bat in cabwiz folder
This should of created a file named regcab.cab
rename it to connections.cab
this will configure your settings when installed!
If your interested in using provisional XML to also backup ur email & wifi password settings to a cab i wrote a post here about it
thanks man... i'll try it... for the email settings i used makisu... will see about wifi...
nice you can take the email settings from the maiksu xml file and then use cabwiz to turn it into a cab if you like also.
does the signature for the email account (exchange) sits in the registry? i'd like to back that up too....

[Q] Contact-specific ringtone

Looked at every thread in Q&A and didn't see anything addressing this. While I can set a default ringtone, I can't set a specific ringtone for each contact. In the Contact Details screen, there's an Options/Ringtone that you can click, but changing it doesn't do anything. Anyone figure this out or is it just a bug?

I can on mine, I just select the contact, and LOOK AT BOTTOM OF CONTACT INFO, I can assign a SPECIFIC ringtone to that contact ONLY...
if this option is not there by default, EDIT the contact and the option might appear at bottom of contact info...
I have my wifes number set to tone locs "Wild Thing..."
It looks like the problem was that I was syncing contacts from TMobile. For whatever reason you can't modify the ringtone, not sure if this is only a problem with Tmobile syncing or all syncing. You also can't modify ringtones on the TMobile website. So I exported contacts to my SD card, then imported back in. Now it works.
