Outlook SMS contact not showing in the To: box - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General

Hi,
I have a K-Jam with the latest Rom but I have a problem with the "To:' box that when I type a name in some name show up but not all of them that are in my contact list.
I thought it would be maybe because of categories but no as all my contacts are categorized.
If I actually click on the To: link it brings up the full contact list with all the names...but jsut entering letters of the name in the initial box only brings up certain names.
Anyone knows what the deal is with that and how to fix it please ?

Is it because the phone number you have for the contact is not stored in the mobile number field?
On my phone it seems that contacts only appear in the To: box if you have a number in the mobile number field.

Very good ! you got it right ! thanks you man !!

Numbers in international format not working for SMS

All the telephone numbers in my address book are stored in international format e.g. +44 +64 etc.
When I reference my address book to complete the 'To:' section of an SMS it pulls in the number but without the '+' sign. This prevents the SMS being sent without the '+' being entered manually.
Does anyone else experience this problem and has anyone found a fix.
Thanks.
i just made an entry where i put in the +45 in the first part of the telephone nr and then made a new sms and clicked to: and choose the freshly made contact and i get the whole nr in my case +45234567 (random nr dont try to call it at home )
i'm using the 1.66 rom and sync with the outlook 2k i got for free with my xda2 (qtek2020)
Thanks for that. I'm on 1.03.00 so I'll look for a ROM upgrade.

Caller name instead caller number in SMS

Hi folks,
TIM Brasil send me ans SMS with all calls I've lost. useful when I flying, at arrival I saw who call me.
The problem is the SMS contain the caller number, time and date, so I need to search at Contacts to discover the caller name.
Someone know a piece of software able to look at phone number inside of SMS and scan the Contact to match it, showing the name of the contact?
Best regards
Any ideas?
Here in Italy vodafone sends a similar SMS but sets the sender name to the one who attemped to phone you
In this way the phone shows automatically the name (if it has been stored in contacts)
To quickly discover who's the owner you can do two things:
1) if the message contains "This number +xxyyyyyy tried to call you..." press the down key (the number should be selected by a square box) click and your phone should start dialling that number (doing a lookup in contacts and showing the name)
2) you can remember the first numbers (excluding the international prefix) press "red phone", "green phone" (to quickly start the phone application) and use the hermes' smartdialer to quick find who's the owner.
Try using SPB Diary...
Make sure your numbers are in the international format.

In fact this work, but is not exactly what I want, because after a airplane trip the SMS has 3 or 4 numbers. So I need to call/abort 3 for times... It's not elegant way.
thanks.

WM developer
Hi Guys,
I'm trying again... Is there a WM developer here who could develop a little plug in to do it?
I think is not complicated, but I don't know WM development to do it.
Of course this could sold to the community.
i had once a siemens sl45 and when i had a phone number in a sms it replaced it by the name in the phonebook... i so miss that feature..... i haven't seen it on other phones since then...
I'm not alone
Finally someone understood what I'm saying.
It's very useful this feature. I'm wondering if someone could develop this.
Anybody as a volunteer?
Maybe this is what you need?

Its work - It's great
Thanks Moe,
It's exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you.

Quick contacts bug with HTC Home Plugin

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

cant call someone from the contacts list

this is probably easy to fix or just an error on my part.
I'm using the official rom with some theme mods.
So when i go to the contact list, click on a contact and then click the "call mobile phone" entry for that contact, the option gets activated/grey background, just to get deactivated half a second later and it never actually dials the number (same with people in the favorites list)
The contacts are stored on the phone and copied over from my blackstone, so I know the numbers are all valid.
Anyone got any ideas? Any help would be appreciated
[edit]
oh and i can dial just fine when i hiz phone on the today screen, go to the menu and choose "open contact"
[edit2]
I just realized, when I'm on the contact page of a contact (where you see there phone numbers and so on), I can click Menu -> Show more information, which takes me to the "old" contact page (as it used to be in wm 6.1), where calling someone works as well.
So there are ways around this, it's just annoying having those 2 more presses just to call a number.

[Q] Strange issue when typing contact name in sms

Hi
Have everybody experienced that the contacts shown in the list when typing a name in "to:" are the ones after what you type?
Ex.
I type "Kristian" and there is only one Kristian in my contacts, but what is shown in the list is "Lars" which is the contact just after "Kristian" in the list.
Hope you understand my problem, which first occurred after i upgraded the rom to the I8700XXJK1 firmware. I would like a solution as this behavior is quite annoying.
Best regards Kristian Hagsted
No sorry, my phone always shows the contacts that fit to the entered letters.
For example, if I enter "mark" then the phone predicts "Mark" and "Markus", but if I type "marku" or "markus" then there is only the one "Markus" predicted.
