Customizing dispaly of contacts

Hello everybody,
Does anyone know how to change the way contacts are displayed in Qtek 202/XDAII.
I would like to have all my contacts shown as First Name, Last Name but the device always uses by default Last Name, First Name.
Is there a way of changing this?
Thanks for all your help.

contacts showing as lastname, firstname

I am adding new contacts to my MDA and they are listing as lastname, firstname. If I go to edit the contact the information is correct. Any way to change how they display?

bendog2784: go to the Wizard forum. Look at the first sticky post.
"Contacts - alphabetical order, sorting by First/Last Name?"

Hey thanks I saw that right after I posted. I snagged that little program towards the end. Works like a charm. Thanks and sorry.

Can't find this sticky and searching has turned up nothing, anyone got a lead on this proggie/reg hack?
nm login and the search got easier.

Display Contacts as FirstName LastName

Does anyone know how to change the Contacts display as FirstName LastName rather than LastName, FirstName?
There is not a single option to change this.

This has been asked a lot of times try a search for 'firstname lastname'

the solution i found was to use outlook contacts to change the "display as" to how you want it. its much easier to manage with outlook aswell.

There are other solutions, that's not the right one.

Bulk SMS

Dear Folks,
I am sorry if this has been covered before, I did a search for "bulk SMS" and loads came up but I could not find the answer...
QUESTION:
I have a new HTC HD2 that has a different telephone number, I have copied over 500+ contacts, and I would like to know if there is an easy way to notify my contacts that my number has changed?
You help and guidance would be so much appreciated.

Outllok Contacts Application

on my new HD2 there is something strange: if I want to add a new contact or edit an old one I can do it, but some fields have disappeared!
For example: name, middle name, family name...all these fields gone: I only have one field "NAME"
Same for address details: before (WM 6.1) I could edit and input into fields like ZIP, City, Address...now there is a unique field called "Word Address"
It is NO MORE fine-divided into its fields
What am I missing?
Please suggest

I have tried to remedy by installing Pocket Informant 9...but it is so sloooow..sometimes freeze my whole device. So it is not a viable solution.
Thanks and waiting.

is this issue related to WM 6.5.3? Or just to HD2 devices?
Thanks
Saulo

use "start - contacts" to access the windows contacts list instead of the htc contacts and you will find all the fields as you remember them.

thanks Samuel
That is what I usually do...but still I cannot see the fields.
Would you be so kind to post a snapshot, so I can understand what I am doing wrong?
Additianlly my ROM is a barebone one, by freyberry, with almost no HTC application on it (almost basic Microsoft)
Thanks
Saulo

in the name field, look at the very right hand side there is a very small grey square, tap there and the complete name box opens.

oh and the field below name works the same.(you can see the two grey buttons in the image )

Dear Samuel
Now I understand: if I click on start outlook contacts the HTC version of contacts is triggered! not the MS version!
How can I do? Is there a registry hack?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Saulo

By the way, Samuel, what is that Keyboard that you are now using? It look nice.
Is it a good replacement to the standard keyboard? Does it have the ctrl-C (copy) function?
Thanks
Saulo

No more ideas?
Thanks and waiting
Saulo

hi. keyboard is swype. I like it, takes a little while to get used to but very nice when you do.
im afraid I can't really help with how to start contacts, im using a custom rom and when i click start I see an icon called contacts, and I click that and it gives me the widows contacts.
see the image, top right, the link i use.
