I've got myself a new Vario, but I can't seem to get the contacts to sort by first name - is there any way to do this?
Sorry if this is a dumb question! I've been mucking about with it for ages!
Many thanks
Zakkz,
Welcome to the forum :wink:. Please read this introduction.
Here's a couple of links on your question.

yes it is possible,
even different ways to get this:
you can use a little freeware application 'File As First Last" that will be included in the default contacts applications. It allows you to save the contact by "firstname lastname" 'or even by company etc. The application can be found on pocketpcfreewares.com: http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=828
you could also change the contact settings on your desktop...within the Outlook contact, you can change the setting 'save contact as', there you can chose to use "firstname lastname"
yet another way to solve this problem is to use another application for your contacts. Pocket Informant is really very good! there you can easily chose to sort the contacts by "firstname lastname"...you can also chose to see the contact pictures in the list of contacts, which is really great I think!
and you've got many many other options and settings to change the calendar/contacts/tasks views...also a really great search function within Pocket Informant...try it for yourself...
CIAO!

Hi
I am thinking about buying the Wizard (qtek 9100) (or the coming model Hermes) but before I do I need to have two answers.
I use a organizational system in outlook from windows press and without certain functions the wizard would be useless with my system.
Is it possible to adjust Wizard to show and group objects in the task list as "Categories" (that I create myself):?:
(In the same way as "due date" and so forth. Is categories an option in the wizard as it for example NOT is with Nokia mobiles.)
The second question is if it is possible so synchorize subfolders (in personal folders) in outlook with the wizard :?:
Danne
For Tasks, you can filter by category, but you cannot sort them by category. In other words, you can have Tasks show you what are in individual categories, one category at a time.
Yes, you can sync subfolders with Outlook. You can configure exactly which folders you'd like to sync using ActiveSync.
Thanks, but...?
Hi,
Sorry that my response took so long, I was out on a spontaneous party
Thanks for the answers :!:
However I have some uncertainties concerning my first question about grouping by categories and would be grateful if you took the time to see my questions.
:?: Actually it is not even possible to SORT by categories in outlook, only "grouping" (I am not shure if that is the exact english equivalent word). Do you know it it is possible to GROUP by categories (not only filter)?
:?: And is it possible to see categories as a own "field" (I am not shure here either if that is the exact english eqvivalent word) the way you can see "Subject" and "Due date" in different fields in the task list?
Is it possible to transfer categories that you create yourself in outlook (that has a lot of tasks conncected to them) to wizard, or create the new categories in wizard.
Last question. If the answer is no to the above questions, is it easy (only one or two steps) to filter by categories? In outlook there is many steps to do that.

Nope, you can't group or sort by categories - you can only see tasks in a particular category, one category at a time.

Nope, you can't display the category field on the task list.

That I'm not sure, but I don't see why not.

Yep, real easy. Tap on Menu, then Filter, then select a category.
If possible, I would borrow a Pocket PC from someone and try it out for yourself. Or I'm sure your mobile phone store will have a reasonable return policy
Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to answer all my questions! Now I have the information I need to make a decision.
I am going to check the filtering function and see if it suits my needs but I wish it was possible to group them by cateory.
If you know of any other smartmobile were that is possible please let me know.

I have 368 contacts in Outlook and I use the ActiveSync to synchronize those contacts with Trinity.
Well, believe it or not only the 320 contacts are copied into my device, an some of them are missing elements (phone numbers, notes etc...).
Has anyone faced this problem before?
This should be the most straight forward process, but for some reason for me it is not!
Any help would be much appreciated as at the moment I can not use the device as my primary telephone...
Thank you!
...and I am answering to myself saying that,
any contact in Outlook 2003 with a Note is not copied to the PDA.
Additionally, any contact that has a number that is categorized as Primary is copied to the device but the telephone number is not!
Please, if there is a Thread with similar content, transfer this topic there as I think that it may be of interest of other people.
I suggest you send your findings to microsoft. It looks like a bug either in Outlook or WindowsMobile.
You are right!
But if I am the only one who notices it, then I am not sure if there is something wrong with the configuration of wither my PDA or my PC.
Although, in general, these problems should not appear...
If a device can be synchronized Outlook, it synchronizes! Period.
Well, if anyone is interested, the problem that I am describing, has to do with my PC. I connected the PDA with my work's PC and Laptop, and it could synchronize contacts with Notes.
I also downloaded and installed SP2 for Office 2003 in my Home PC, but still there was a problem with the synchronization.
At the moment I can not find the reason why the two machines can not cooperate for these kind of contacts.
Any ideas by anyone?
did you try outlook self repair? Did you try Office Update?
I also have a similar problem. But I did not go into details to find exactly why some contacts are syncd and other not. Also some contacts are occasionally duplicated.

I tried both of them.
I also tried to uninstall all Office apps, and reinstall them and still didn't work.
I am so desperate that I am starting to think a complete rebuild of my PC.
I checked anywhere I knew. Outlook Options, Forums, Microsoft, Google. I do not know how to fix this...
Any help from anyone?

Hmm... Do you have Outlook Categories in use? Do you use subfolders?
Do the "non-synced contacts" have special characters e.g. a street named "Löwenstr."?
It is a very strange problem you have.
I had the same problem....
The only thing that helped me was to install a newer version of activesync...
After the Upgrade to 4.5 all was OK...
hi
anybody knows how to set in contacts to see just the contacts from the phone not mixed with sim contats
thanks
You couldfind it in the forum if you search "hide Sim", I think. But anyway you edit the Registry:
Registry
HKCU
ControlPanel
Phone
ShowSim = 0

Ive had exactly the same problem on my Hermes and previous models with AS4.5.
Only resolve is to create a new contact without anything in the notes field. weird.
Hi,
my Sister has the HTC Diamond, and since she has her own Business she wanted me to ask if there was any Way to have a 2nd Phonebook, or Contactlist?
She basically wants to seperate her personal Contacts from her Business Contacts.
Or are there any Settings to sort the Contacts by Groups?
Thanks for any Help, Answers, Solutions.
There's a Filter By option which will allow you to filter your contacts by various categories. You just need to assign the contacts to individual categories for it to work as desired.
When you do a Filter By, it will retain your last selection, so if you Filter By business (or something), it will remain filtered by business until you change it. Not sure if a SR will change it back.

HOw does she assign the different Groups?
DOes she do that by editing each Contact or does she select a Group somewhere and sets a checkmark in front of the Contacts she wants in the Category?
Thanks for any Answers
groups
much easier if you have icontact.cab

Will that work with no Problems without changing Registry?
Cuz she dont wanna go to deep into her Diamond due to the Fact that she might send it in soon anyways due to high Tempratures by Use and Charge (which is normal for the Diamond but not understandable for my SiS)
she can use outlook for editing the contacts with multiplce categories even pictures and just sync everything over ActiveSync/WMDC

Haven't played with iContact, I ended up doing mine by editing each contact and placing them in the desired group.
Icontacts is very helpful for what you want. You can have as many list as you want.
In the first you can write names for your busines ,in the second your personal, in third all. More info, links and a skin i made , here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3261708#post3261708
Hello,
I'm developing a small application working with PIM. I can't find a simple way to enumerate PIM categories (or Groups as called in Manila). The only way I found is to go through all appointments, contacts and tasks and read categories from its property Categories. This works, but it is really uneffective way how to do this. Can you please suggest the better solution?
