Hi my Qtek S100 sent SMS messages doesn´t display the name of people that are in my phonebook, only de number. Is it possible to show de name not the number?
Thanks
I have that too, My mda compact only shows the names when i'm replying to a message
May be you can try this when sending sms:
In the "To" field, they the name of the person you want to send, just a first few letters, the possible names will come out, then choose the right one. Doing in this way, the name and telephone number of the recipient will appear on your sms notification.
PS: I am using this for IIs.
Nop! It only shows de number wich is very bad because that way i had to remember everyones phone number... Impossible they are 800. Imagine when i send multiple sms ( i advertise my club events personally to my friends that way). Even with a 50€ phone we can do that today... And that´s so simple to fix... Hallooooooo Microsoft!!!!!!!!!! Its a shame that a so good OS like this misses so elementary issues...

Are your numbers stored under the "mobile" field in your contacts? not sure if this will solve your problem, but I found that when my firend's mobile numbers were stored under "home" or "business", the SMS program will not automatically detect it.
Try moving a few to "mobile" and see what happens.
Sent SMS name identification reply
The primary mobile number is always in the mobile field (that´s another estupid thing in outlook fields because several people have more than one mobile phone, for different operators and we have only one mobile field in here). But that's not the problem, intellipad finds all the number fields but when you do enter, the selected number goes to the "to" field in the message only with the number not the name. If you do the same procedure with keyboard (you begin typping the inicial letters) and a new pop up box appears with the names and the numbers, when you choose the name it goes to the "to" field with both the name and the number. To type sms messages you don´t have most of the times pacience to grab the stylus and type with keyboard, it´s a different procedure, most of the times you are on the run, that´s the concept of the sms message, a quick and practical way to contact somebody without calling...
thanks
hmm...
... strangely enough, the intellipad feature isn't working now, after having flashed to the latest Qtek 1.06 ROM :?
In the TO: field, typing letters does not seem to trigger an "auto-search"... which is what you described in your post above, amaro. This was working perfectly on my old ROM, though I did skip the auto-installation after hard reset, so maybe it has something to do with that.
never mind.. i fixed the problem with a soft-reset.
SMS sent messages again...
Kai, does the new ROM fixed the front speaker sound problems? How do you find the new ROM? Can you send sms messages with intellipad showing the reciever name and number?
Thanks

Amaro,
Do you mean the earpiece for normal phone calls? (and not the speakerone next to the mirror) If so, I can say with a definite yes that there have been improvements! I got one of the first XDA mini's locally and was treated to high-pitched distortions and crackling sounds, y'know, the types that threaten to blow your ear drums away if you're not careful. After the 1.05 RADIO update, I have not noticed any problems after 60 mins of phone calls. I cannot say it has eliminated the problem 100%, that will take more time, but as of now it is MUCH IMPROVED.
Click THIS for information and instructions how the 1.05 radio upgrade. Be sure to backup everything as it *WILL* do a hard reset after the upgrade, which I did not know about :roll:
The messages in "Sent Items" folder does not contain the number of the recepient. What it shows is the number of the sender (My cell number).
What is this? bug?
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...
Is there a hack or application that anyone knows that will allow me the option of sending a text to a contact from the Contacts list (instead of having to open the contact, scroll down the numbers etc etc)
So I would be able to press the Menu key and it appear in this list as Send SMS...
Many thanks
It is already there...
I'm using the AKU 2.3 Rom but I can't remember it not being there even in the 1.8 Rom that mine shipped with.
Vijay has a nice tool to do this here:
http://www.vijay555.com/?Releases:VJPhoneTools
If that's not what you're after you can always add a line in the Notes section of a contact like this
smsnnn)[email protected]<recipient'sCarrierDoman>
(Carrier Domain example: @mymobile.cingular.com)
with a space and/or line return after it (but no spaces within), and it will show up as a selectable link. When you tap it the SMS app will open with the number you're wanting to text to in the appropriate place.
G'luck

Thanks for that but neither of those is really what I was hoping for.
I use sms more than phone calls and find it kind of couter intuitive that I can see the contact and dial it from the contacts list, but in order to send a text I have to find the contact open it, scroll down to the SMS number then send the text. What I was really looking for was a way to put an extra entry in the menu list allowing me to "Send SMS to contact" seems a bit silly that I have the option to send a media message but not an sms (given the relative ratios of SMS to MMS that the mobile operators handle) unless it is an attempt by Vodafone to get me to send more non bundled MMS instead of the huge number of bundled SMS that I have.
Whilst I love the functionality of my new handset I really do miss the more object orientated funtionality of my old Sony Ericsson

Missed this post, sorry.
That would be really useful, but I am a bit of a woose and don't want to wreck my phone and Vodafone haven't released the 2.3 ROM (from what I can tell).
I will do a search through the forums and figure out what I have to do to upgrade the ROM and then I'll have to take a gamble on whether I am brave enough to proceed.
Thanks
I s'pose I'm more of the old school, as I use my phone more for calls than text messaging. And in that regard I've been pleasantly surprised to learn how easy it is to do so.
I hope you find a solution, especially given the cost of the device!
I mainly go to inbox, Text Messages, type a few letters of the persons name, and their number pops right in. Am I missing something?

I'm thinking that this option was always there for me. Maybe Vodafone removes it from the list intentionally?
You can always try doing a hard reset (or clear storage) and then stop the vodafone customizations from installing by soft reseting when it says "installing customizations in 3 seconds".

Will give this a try when I have a quiet moment (and have made an inventory of everything that I will need to reload).
Thanks
Ive seen this question asked several times during my search for the answer, but no one ever replies to it....
Since the upgrade WM6, the Reciepients name in the "to:" field within any new message will not auto complete...
I always have to fill in the number, or their name and select 'Check Names' in the menu and then choose my selection.
PLEASE will SOMEONE tell me the reg entry i need to alter, or the cab i need to (re)install to fix this chink in my BA's armour....
Many thanks in advance.

No one has answered this question cause probably no one has faced this problem after upgrading to WM6. I just now checked by creating new Text Message and when I hit at "To:", it opens up my contact list and I can pickup any number.
I know others have faced this problem 'cos several other people are asking for soloutions to the exact same issue, they just never recieved replies...
Also, yes mine works when i click the 'to:' button aswell, but it should predict the recipients name as you type it.
there are users on several platforms, not just BA, running WM6 roms with this exact same issue...
C'mon guys, PLEASE HELP!
Dickie
May be I dont understand your question!!
When I type "a" in the space, list of all names starting with 'a' opens up and gets shorter and shorter as I type more letters. What else do you expect it to do?

This is EXACTLY whats not working! this 'auto complete' function has stopped since the WM6 upgrade...
hey, i got the same issue also..
when i typed "A" in the recipient it dont auto complete with "a" contacts.
my solution is :-> type "a+space" then delete the space, the auto complete will come out with the "a" contact listings. hope it helps.. =D
I have always found it faster just to click on the to button and let that do the auto complete. I seem to always select the wrong contact with the auto complete in the actual message.
do you have other then English language support on your device?
I have Hebrew support, I have to type the first two letters and delete the last one -> then it source according to the first letter
SMS works fine for me but MMS doesn't do the predictive contact call up and it is a pain in the arse.
Not a big problem but a pain in the arse nonetheless.
did you install "htc dual keyboard + keypad". I installed this app, and the predictive contact search stop working on sms. After uninstallation, its working again.
as with mms, i dont think it has ever worked since 2003SE. you have to click "to:" and search within the contact list.
the answer to your proplem is :
this is because the contact are not stored in your PIM database, but on the SIM card, that is why they are not predicable but they can be accessed by pressing on the "to" button.
solution: use sim manager to save contacts to the phonebook
hope u find it helpful
that is what i was gonna say "life owner" you are correct according to the problem i had

i will NOT do that if i were you...
that would only make the predictive list double the names you have...
(Or you could delete the contacts in your simcard after you copied)
if you played with the options
in the Settings->Input->Word Completion.
i would suggest a hard reset
if you did the above and no changes was reflected.

thank god, someone agreeing this issues does exist and its not something i'm doing...
Although, typing a space after the first character, then deleting it does not bring up the auto complete.
But.. i did install "htc dual keyboard + keypad", which i will remove now to see if functionality returns..
Also.. my contacts are stored on the Phone, not the sim.
Cheers for your suggestions guys, i'll keep u updated...
Dickie
UPDATE - Removed "htc dual keyboard + keypad" and functionality is restored.... what exactly does this program do? if its supposed to skin the touch screen keyboard, it never worked for me anyway...
Cheers Guys!

"htc dual keyboard + keypad" give you big numbers and letters button (the idea is to allow you not to use stylus and use your thumb to type) AND it also give predictive english words feature.. and i guess it cannot co exist with the predictive contact feature of sms... i guess this is the most logical explanation... for me anyway
actually it's not an issue regarding auto-complete...
htc dual keyboard+keypad is filtering your input and displays it's own "one-liner" prediction and thus the default system Auto Word Completion doesnt kick in.
and it doesnt matter to the default auto-complete if it's in the phone or in the sim card... if you have two copies of one item... it will list double.
it's not an SMS problem... it's a program glitch(feature?). haha...
Hi I have the same problem.
i removed htc dual keyboard and its still not working!
do i need to enable some options some wherE?
Thanks
try to do what silver samurai suggested, the setting may have been changed:
start > settings > personal > input > word completion > place a tick mark on "suggest words when entering text"
I tried that and it didn't work.
Thanks
When sending an sms I no longer get the contacts name appear as I type it into the To field. I have to go into contacts, press the persons name, then press send sms.
Anyone know what I have done and how I can rectify it please?
I have noticed that I have to now enter the 1st 3 characters before a name suggestion appears. Before it was only 1 character. It also brings the same name up twice, when it was only once before...

Same problem here, I don't know why it disappeared out of the sudden.
EDIT: I played a little bit around and I figured out that you have to type a blank after the name (even if the name is not completed), then you get some proposals at the bottom line. But that's a different user interface, I wonder where the old one is gone?

It works if you type the 1st 3 characters and name suggestions appear. I'm sure name suggestions use to apear when only entering the 1st character before...
In my case even if the first 3 characters are entered no more suggestions will pop up. Maybe the behavior changes depending on the amount of contact stored. I don't know how many contacts I have but I guess it's something between 100 and 200.

I have around 150 contacts and it worked OK before, but have no idea why it has changed now...
I have sorted this now. What I had done is changed the settings in the word completion from 1 letter to 3...
