Hi everyone. My very first post!
Let me start by saying a big thanks to everyone who has contributed to this site, if it wernt for this site i would still be stuck using WM5 and have no idea of my device potential.
I am currently running WM6
Anyone know how to change the app path to the Contacts button in the dialer?
I know how to change the soft key on the today screen to my own contacts application but then when you are in the actual dialer the left Soft Key also says Contacts but still loads the crap outlook one. And also in the menu of the dialer there is another Contacts item that i would like to change.
So yeah basicly would like to know if its at all possible to change every Contacts button to point to my own contacts application.

Hi.
You know how on the mda when you hold the d-pad down on the contacts, after a few seconds a letter comes up? It seems like its there to help you skip to the letter that it lands on, but on my phone it doesn't do that. I stay at the same contact that it stopped on before projecting the letter. All the contacts in my phone are sim contacts, do you think this is the problem, like does it only work for the contacts saved to the phone?
And my second question is, after you make a call that is not on the contacts list, is there anyway to save it to the (sim) contacts without having to copy and paste all over again? My old phone whenever I dialed a number or recieved a call that wasn't on my list, one of the soft keys would say "store" or I could press the menu soft key to "store" into my contacts. Unless I have overlooked it, I can't seem to do that with the mda.
Thanx
Anybody?
This is the only gripe I have about the MDA so far, hoping to get it figured out if there is a way.
thanx
like you said it may be that the contacts are on the sim, transfer your contacts to the phone
I installed HTC EndKey but I realy dont like that it replaced my Contacts key on the today Screen. I tried removing it but it wont go away.
I found it's location in the registry and I tried switching it back to Contacts manually but I cant find the name of the contacts Program. I tried contacts.exe and that doesnt do anything.
Any ideas on how I can get rid of end key and get the contacts button back?
you could look for a program call softkey and see if it will let you change it from there
Does anyone know if there is a reg hack for selecting contacts with no phone numbers from the smart dialer in WM6. I would be totally happy with the search feature if I could search all of my contacts. I use my contacts as a means of organizing lots of information and many entries do not have phone numbers and are therefore not searchable via this interface.
Does anyone know where in the registry this is possible or if it is even possible to do? This would be the fastest most effective way to select a contact if we could correct this issue.

Use EZDial by MESoftware.

Just tried it and ezdialer does NOT find contacts with no phone numbers. I currently use pocketCM and it works quite well but still lacking some features that I require. Ideally the reg hack if possible would solve all issues until pocketCM is fully functional.
You guys are my last hope before I update my phone and give this one to my sister. I am still searching for a the reg hack that will enable me to use the smart dialer to view contacts that have no phone #'s. Anyone
Hey everyone.
I've been using WM since the XDA2 then moved to a dopod 838 pro and am now using the Touch Diamond. The one thing I've never been able to do and really could use is the ability to call a number entry in the notes of a calendar entry.
I've done a search on the forums but I can't locate anything regarding it.
I tend to use my calendar for all of my appointments but if I have to call someone with the phone number stored in the notes of the calendar entry, I have to physically write the number down and then flick to the dialer to make the call. And I've had to do that for years. Now that I've found you guys I have to ask...is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way and a Big thanks to all the devs here making my Diamond the best PPC I've owned.
EDIT: I should explain what I'm asking for a little better. You know how a number comes up highlighted in a text message or notes and all you have to do is tap on the highlighted number and it launches the dialer? That's what I really need in the notes of a calendar appointment.
i also need that.
and i could swar that this worked already in earlier versions
Barring any other solutions, you could copy and paste the number into the dialer, instead of having to write it down. I doubt there are any tweaks to make it a clickable link.
Thanks...the copy and paste option is better than nothing. I'd actually never thought to use it after all these years.
Still, a clickable link in the notes would be ideal. I'm sure if I ask M$ nicely, they'll be more than happy to add it to the next version of WM.

Download 'HD tweak' to tweak the registry settings for shorter delay before phone rings etc.

to sort using "firstname, last name" FOR ALL CONTACTS you would need to do so in Desktop's Outlook. i dont' think mobile outlook (aka contacts) have this option, unless you want to do ONE BY ONE. I haven't tried this, because I always use "last name, first name"
as for the delay in answering call, the previous poster is right, install HD Tweak, and you can modify the delay in answer calls. it works quite well. also the slider to answer/ignore the call is a little buggy, it lags when you try to slide while the phone is ringing. i would suggest S2U2's slider, it is very lean and fast.
This how you do it to be First Last name however it is quite boring because you have to do it to each entry in your contacts list on your HD.
1- On your touchFlo3D People tab select “All People”
2- The first contact well be highlighted in green hit “Menu” then “Edit”
3- Change the “File as” entry to be First Last name.
Now the contact item will be stored and listed as First Last name.
You can see why I said it is boring because you have to do it for your contacts one by one.
I hope this is what you wanted

outlook can do that
Hi - I've only had the HD a few weeks and of all the things I've seen on this forum, the only really niggling thing I've found with the standard install on my HD is the contacts issue mentioned in this thread. I'm sync-ing all my calendar, mail and contacts with Lotus Notes (using Lotus Notes Traveller). In Lotus Notes I have got all the contacts entered with their first names and last names, but then in the options I have selected "firstname lastname" as the view style. I am amazed that Windows mobile doesn't have this option?
If I WERE to go through every single contact entry and change the "file as" to the right format, would this synchronise back to Lotus Notes and cause any problems? Or is it just a setting on the device itself? Is there no global device setting to change the view style?

I made a post about this yesterday.
I have the same frustration and created my own program to fix the contacts, even allowing for your own custom formats and using the Company Name field. I hope you find it helpful!
