My P3600 locks up when I toggle to my show contacts by company name. I see the first of my company names at the top of the list, but it will not allow me to scroll from the top. It is very annoying since I search by company name sometimes. Is anyone else having this problem?

I did not find the reason... but I didnt find the problem either. Sorting by company works on my trinity.
Jazza, did you find a solution?

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...
Hello,
Is it possible to change the default filter in the contact list ?
By default this filter is "All"; I'd like to set it to "personal"
Thank you for your answers.
Regards,
been looking all over and cant find anything for this. it would be great though!
Edit a contact, go to the categories and change it to personal.
The personal will appear at the filters, if you edit another contact and change the category to work, work will also appear in the filter.
Try it out.
we know how to create filters...the problem is, when you open contacts, there is no filter, you see all the contacts. we want to have it so when you open contacts it is already filtered, say the last filter you picked or a default filter like personal or work. going to filter and changing it everytime i want to see a number is annoying
I have already put categories to all my contact.
The only thing I want is to see only personal contact when I open the contact list.
I searched in the registry but i found nothing ...
Nobody can help us ?
sadly i think nobody cares about this pain in the ass problem keep looking...
Yes, please, please, please.... Can anyone shed any light on this?
I too am frustrated that WM6 does not seem to have the ability to "save" the previous filter, or to let the user choose which filter to have as default (rather than having "all" as default, then requiring a manual filter each time)
It is REALLY frustrating having to trawl through ALL the contacts each and every time.
I have many contacts because I work in a few countries, and have categorized my contacts according to country. It would be super if I could "lock" the filter to a category (in my case country), so when I'm in a particular country, I can just view contacts from that country without trawling through all contacts from all countries.
Is there a fix for this? In WM6 itself? In reg? With a .cab? With a third-party software?
Can anyone help? It would be much appreciated.
I would like to have a default filter too... By the way, I am using WM5 (P3600/trinity), and it also shows everything when you get into the contacts. What I do for the time being is put the contacts I want to see everytime in the quick numbers list of the phone.
I know this thread's a couple of weeks old but I've been searching XDA for a solution. The weird thing is that Windows Mobile had the ability to retain a filter (at least until you rebooted) in Windows Mobile 2003. I had this feature on my Audiovox SMT5600 (HTC Tornado, I think) over 3 years ago.
Old thread I know...
Now that its getting close to 2009... anyone find a solution to this problem/annoyance?
Thansk
i am sick of this, i have wm6.1 and there is still same story, filter is returning to all mode...grrr
in lates version is still same thing ?
can anybody help please.....
is there still no solution?
i've cracked everybit till now and havent yet found how to set up a filter to choose only contacts with email addresses - but no success yet.
i recently imported my gmail contacts on my phone and want to send out an invite to all my friends - unfortunately unless i type a contact name, i wouldnt know which other contact exists there.
its getting be a pain..
any luck
Hi All
Sorry to bring this back, but is there a fix for this yet, i too find it a pain, would be much better if you could choose a default filter and not All.
Tom
I'm looking also for a sollution, but Microsoft it's sleeping and dont do nothing about this filter problem... all this years and wm it's the same ****...
Does anyone know if you can send a text message to a contact's secondary number?
i.e. if I had a contact
Mr A
Mobile: 123456789 (default)
Mobile2: 1232465933
Is there a way that I can select Mobile2 in the text message 'To' field. Currently it will only come up with the default number.
I know that you can send a message via the contacts screen.

I gave someone in my contacts list a faux secondary mobile number and when I start typing their name the Auto Complete finds both mobile numbers just fine. Am I understanding you correctly?
you can text that person through the Contacts app instead of Messaging.
Open Contacts then go to the specific contact then hit the secondery phone no.

Same here, just changed a contact so that two numbers were marked "mobile" and went to messaging, typed the first two letters of the contact name and both mobile numbers showed up for selection.
Thanks for the info, I was being a bit dumb, or rather didn't realise that texting only picks up contacts marked as mobile. Some of mine were marked as home etc...
Thanks again!
Hello,
Since this is the only place that has this problem raised on the web, I"m asking for your help. I have a htc rhodium, touch pro2.
I have the same problem that the other guy had but worse. I cannot change the secondary number to mobile. I have options for: home, company, work, car.. etc?
I cannot do it even via the contacts screen.
How do I resolve this?... :?
Please help anyone?
P.S. I know this is not the right subforum, but since it is discussed here....

You don't have the Dream, perhaps your phone don't even support multiple Mobiles as a choice?

It would seem so... ???
Although it seems very strange to me considering this is a business phone. Many people have dual mobiles.......
There has to be a solution....
I'll ask at even at the rhodium subforum....

Yes, many people have dual phones, but only one of them is meant for business.

not necessarily true..
I use both my phones for business. I divide contacts based on importance. But this is not a business discussion
and this problem means that I can send SMS to only one of those numbers, or make a new contact with a second number... time consuming
strange, very strange behaviour.
My very old nokia did not have this problem..
I really hope android gets ported to the rhodium, windows let me down again...
cheers
I have done a search and have seen a couple of people have the same issue. I have tried several ROM's and am still using MaryOne.
My issue is that on the "people" tab clicking on the Phone symbol to dial someone does not work. This is the same on the HTC contact page, clicking on "call Mobile" does not activate. "send messge" and "send email" is still fine.
Does anyone know if there is a fix for this? Obviously this is fine for some people so why is this not working on my phone?
Any help / advice appreciated.
Ross
failing no one having a solution, is there a way to map the "contact" soft key in the dialer to the default contact rather than the HTC contacts?
same problem for me...
Hi, no one else had this issue /knows a fix?
My TP2 which I received yesterday has the exact same problem. Anyone knows whats up or how to fix? I would be so thankfull as this is a pain in the *SS!!!
KennyDies Will this do? Should remap the softkey to the standard contacts.

Does anyone know how to sort contacts to last name , first name from first name, last name?
Every android phone I have used its phone>contacts>settings>sorty by> last name
I do not see the sort by in settings now and have scrolled through all the settings and still can't find it.
This is a must for me and I'd hate to think they just removed this setting. I have the verizon model.
Thanks in advance!

Probably related to the verizon model, present on my international at least.
Edit:
Or did you just check it through the phones app? The settings menu stays the same if you just change to the contacts tab there (for phone therefore), you have to open the dedicated contacts app to get its specific settings.
Contacts "Sort by..." not present
My phone is not showing any option to sort contacts by surname (or anything else). I have a S7 SM-G930FD which I've rooted, running Android Marshmallow v. 6.0.1, build no. MMB29K.G930FXXU1APD1. Going to Contacts>More>Settings only gives four options (Import/export contacts; Contacts to display (i.e. account/source); Share multiple contacts; and Service numbers.
Can anyone shed any light?
Incidentally, it's also not showing any of the stock Android ringtones...

I too have the same problem with my unlocked SM-G930FD. Sorting option is missing from Contacts/More/Settings screen and no where else to be seen, e.g. in Apps manager.
I have the same phone as yzfreeman above.
Have contacted supplier and Samsung and await reply!
Still nobody an idea?
I have the same problem and would love to hear a solution. Samsung tech support told me this 930FD software is different than the stock they sell in Germany with only one SIM
Solved it!
Go in the application Contacts (orange icon) not phone.
From there you go to Settings and after that you'll find the setting SortBy.
