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?

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.

Hi all,
I just got an I-Mate K-JAM and I was little surprised that when I try to send an SMS to multiple contacts there's no option to filter out contacts or view them by category. Am I missing something here? I could've sworn I had this option with my previous Pocket PCs (PDA2k and HP iPAQs). Is this is by (poor) design? And if so, does anyone know of a 3rd party app that's compatible with WM5 that has this feature ?
Thanks.
Just left Symbian and the P910 and even that has group SMS
Cannot believe that such a basic item would be missed out under WM5.
I have pocketinformant, all my contacts are grouped and I have to go into the contacts folder time and again to send a 'group' message.
Surely they cannot have missed out on something this basic. It really lets down the wizard. :roll:
Is there an application that restores this functionality ?
haven't found anything yet ?
:x
no luck yet
Hope my pain can help
Hi folks, this is the 1st time I have tried this sites forum to help with my I-mate issues. I have had a Jam, K-Jam and Jas Jar in my possession for the last month trying to resolve the issue of filtering my contacts and sending a group sms to the selected category. U cannot select all the contacts on the K-jam & the Jas Jar in a selected category whilst in new
sms mode. I have found that u can filter the categories on the Jam in contacts then drag the stylus across all the names or use the keyboard and select ctrl a , press and hold until drop down menu appears then select text message option and all the names appear in the recipient "to" section of the new sms( happy days). I wish to use the K-Jam as my phone but it will not allow me to select a specific category and then select all contacts and sms them all at once. The fact that the Jam is running WM4.2 and the others are running WM5 can only suggest that they have made a wee mistake in leaving out the select all function, can u install WM4.2 OS onto the K-Jam?? Any help will be greatly appreciated as I have had little or no help anywhere else on the web or with my dealer
Hey Virgel. Does the JasJar have the option to filter by categories in the SMS application, and does it allow you to select all ?
It allows you to filter contacts but you must then select them one by one which in my case would be a very long process. It seems to be an issue with win mob 2005 as it will not allow you to use the keyboard and ctrl A either :? If you know of any other 3rd part apps for sending grouped sms using filtered catagories i would be most greatfull
When I browse through my contacts, I'd like it to hide all groups except for "Friends" so that I don't have to weed through my business and family contacts since I never call them. I still want the option to manually show all contacts, but I'd like it to hide all but my "Friends" when I first open it.
Is this possible? Perhaps with Mortscript?
dont know what phone you have, but on my Shadow (smartphone) i can go to contacts, hit menu, filter, and then choose personal (thats what i catagorize my buddies as) and it then only shows my friends...
EDIT: i see that it does not stay on a close/open, but i would think there is a reg edit to do this... if i get a chance, ill see if i can find it
yeah, I can do the same thing with my phone. I have a PPC, but I'm sure the registry entries would be similar enough. My phone is a T-Mobile Wing, and it's running a Wing-based (not Herald-based) ROM at the moment.
I just don't know how to get the filter to remain permanent.
yeah, i started looking the other day, but got side tracked. nothing yet... guessing from the replies, no one else knows either...
it can be done using PocketInformant. worth it's money since you'll be able to customize almost anything for contacts/tasks/calendar/memo.
I find it extremely annoying that any alterations to any contact cause the phone to save the contact in a "Last, First" format. I don't like that, and I prefer a more standard "First Last".
The only way I found I can do this is through an old WinMo app called contact fix... but I need to fire it up manually after every small edit I make to any contact (let alone actually adding a new one).
Is there a way to change the default saving mode? Perhaps a registry entry of sorts?
no you cant change the default behavour.
If you sync with outlook, you CAN change this same behavour in that, which helps some.
Look for 'contact changer first/last' which will switch all your current contacts (as you may have already done) and from now on, when you are creating a new contact, be sure and scroll to the bottom - more - then where the name shows, top left, tap it, and the third option down is 'file as'
Bit of a pain, really.
Personally i put the whole name in the first name (or last name, doesnt matter) field how i want it to show, no problem.

Well, that's definitely something that should get fixed at some point in WinMo...
Alternatively, perhaps it's a good idea for a background application to automatically set the "file as" parameter on any new or recently edited contacts...
Hi,
I also find it extremely annoying that each time you add or EVEN edit a contact it saves it as "Last, First". Can anybody help with this since there must be a setting for this (in the registry I would think).
Thx in advance.

You could always use Microsoft Contacts rather than Sense Contacts.
Start -> Outlook -> Contacts.
Personally I edit any contacts in my computer's Outlook and sync them to my phone.
Hi everybody! I'm new from here!
(I'm Italian, if I do mistakes, please correct me!)
I'm developing Android apps since 3-4 days ago and I made 4-5 stupid apps, just to learn.
I don't have an Android Phone yet, anyway taking a look on the emulator AVD I noticed a thing that I'd like to change. It's about the Contacts app, the Contacts list view in particular.
I observed that for any contact in the list is possible to assign, in addition to name and surname, also a Nickname, useful for friends!
Despite this, in the options menu, I haven't seen a sorting and viewing method by nickname!
Is there a way to view, if setted, only the Nickname of the contact and, otherwise, Name and Surname?
If there's not, i would like to write a sort of add-on for the contact list that give the priority at the Nickname. Should be awesome also to set Nickname as a global default name to view, causing that will be displayed also during an incoming call.
How should I do? What do you think about? Suggestions?
Thanks in advance,
Daniel
Ok, I'll edit the Android code directly.
Last question: how to make default an app instead of the default one?
Nice... Have you make any progress on that ?
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.
