I'm currently having my contact list be somewhat unaccessible. My contacts are there, if someone calls they show up, if I go to call history everyone is there with names and numbers. However if I enter 'Contacts' directly the "Contact" tile bar flashes then disappears. I cannot ADD contact I cannot send a text message by searching contacts. I have also added PocketCM to see if that would change the issue, however it behaves the exact same way. A flash of PocketCM then nothing. I have backups .pims and all nothing seems to work properly anymore.
Any ideas?

I just figured out how to set mp3 ringtones for the Sony Xperia... but I'm wondering if there is a way to set a different ringtone for each contact in my phonebook ??
Yes open the contact and scroll to the bottom
I opened up the contact, and it shows their name , call, and send text message only. When choose "edit" to edit the contact, I can only change their name and number. Can you be more specific please ?
When I edit a contact I have 20+ things I can change about that one person. One of those is 'Ring tone'. Might be some of the SPB software adding it but I doubt it....
Ohh, ok thanks! I found it in the SPB panel, but it's not there in the windows mobile contact for some reason..
I think it depends on how you have the contact saved. The option to add a ringtone to a contact might only be available if the contact is saved to the phone, not the sim card.
search for vippimringtone

On my X1, this is how i get to do it.
1) open contacts from start menu.
2) select the contact to edit. You should now see a screen with options like call mobile, call home, etc
3) click onthe name of the contact, and you should now see a screen with a lot of options for that contact.
4) scroll down until you see the option for ring tone. now click in the text space for the ringtone drop down selection box.
Hope this helps. There are also a lot of other useful options to be found on that screen, like setting pictures for contact. birthday reminders, etc.
Hi,
Is there a way to send an sms to all contacts?
Also how do you select multipe contacts for messaging - do you really have to do one contact at a time as I have been doing, or can you "mark" multiple contacts?
Cheers.
In the list of Recipient type the contacts following bij a semicolon.
for example:
contact1; contact2; contact3 etc
Hi, same thing here. Do you get a "check names" option in the forward message opiton box that doesn't do anything? Is there any way of adding a check box to the contacts menu? Would be nice. I've searched the whole forum and can't find any answers. Search brings up no matches either.
Thanks.
I dont know about 'all', but multiples are easy, just keep clicking the To button and selecting your contacts from the contactlist (one at a time).. A checkbox would have been neater tho.
Try google for Group SMS. It lets you list your contacts by category, and checkbox those you wish to SMS to.
I'm sure I had that one. If anyone finds it, please post a link.
I have catagories set up, why can't I just text a catagory and it messages them all..
Eaglesteve! Searched as you said and installed Groupsms. Works great.
Cheers and thank you.
I've always peferred to use Phone Dialler's keypad to search for a Contact by pressing a few alpha/numeric keys -
then I used press the contact that I'm looking for and select SMS or call mobile or home phone, or email.
With TouchFlo 3D's Phone Dialler HD, however, this is not practical as it AUTOMATICALLY DIALS THE CONTACT instead of OPENING IT to allow you to chose your contact option (as in WM dialler).
I don't want to go back to WM6 Dialler because I like everything else but -
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CHANGE IT FROM AUTO DIAL (selected contact) TO AUTO OPEN CONTACT?
Maybe there's a registry setting that can be changed?
PS. I'd also LOVE to be able to make the SCREEN FONT for SMS's in the TouchFlo 3D MESSAGES Tab, any Ideas?

Yeah, this is an issue that has been discussed here before and as far as I know, there is no ideal solution for it. At least no one here has found any.
The only suggestion I have is to slide over (rather than tapping) the contact name when in the caller ID screen. This of course flips through the various phone entries for the given contact. However, it also means that it selects that contact without calling. Once selected, you have to press Menu (bottom right) and then "open contact". This is the same as opening your contacts list and tapping on a contact.
By the way, once you are in that screen, tapping on a number will initiate a call (or sms depending on what you tap), and tapping on the name of the contact (or picture) will open the contact file for you to edit it.
Like I said, caller ID screen is not ideal, but my suggestion might be a good enough "work around" for you. If you have a lot of contacts in your contact list, then my suggestion is faster than entering the contact list and finding that particular contact.
As far as your sms screen question - sorry, I don't know how.
If you're with other droid handset you cold simply go to contact>menu>option but in i9000 i dont see anything like that.
Any advice?
You can assign a ring tone if the contact is a "Phone" type in other mean you made it!.
but if your contact is "SNS contacts" as you got it from the internet accounts like gmail,you can't assign a ring tone beside the normal one.
that's what i realized if I'm not wrong.

I know how you feel, cause as i was searching in my phone i realized that
half my contact synced!.
There is a way to do this, albeit very tedious. For every contact that you want to assign individual ringtone, you need to create a contact with the same name but in phone memory. During the creation, you can assign the ringtone to the phone contact. You just need to create with name and ringtone and nothing else. Your phone will link the 2 contacts together (this and the same-named gmail one), and viola, you have your individual ringtone.
I have tried other ways like ringdroid and ringtone manager and it doesn't work. Though the ringtone gets assigned to the gmail contact when I used these apps, the phone still use the default sound when they call. The above seems to be the only way that works.
Also if you noticed, your contact picture gets very blurred and pixelated (in the phone canvas during calls) when they are synced from gmail. The only way around this problem is also the above, ie assign pic to phone contact and link them.
Yes, you are right.
there's downSide for this like in the e-mail app, when you press the contact to select one, you will see all the contacts twice
Nothing is perfect
Not 100% sure, but guess you can change it without copy all into phone with the app. Zedge. That is a app for change wallpapers and ringtones, not use it for a while but worth look it upp.

Actually you won't. Your phone contact has nothing except the ringtone or pic. So in your email, phone or other apps only the contact with the relevant field populated will be shown
Hi
i understand that on the nexus 4 and jelly bean, the "contacts" app displays every contacts, with or without phone numbers,while, on the other hand, the contacts dislayed in the "call" app, are only the ones with phone number. (same goes with sms, when entering the first letters of a contact name).
However, i have an issue that, many contacts i have, even though they have mobile numbers assigned to them, don't display in the call app or sms app...
Does this happen to you too?
Wait,
i think i figured it out.
it seems the contacts that caused this issue had no real name, even though they were displaying one in my contacts...
i'll explain. lets say i want to write a text to John Doe.
John Doe is displayed in my contacts from the contact app, but if, in messages app, i select "new" and in the "to" field, i start to write john, the name "john doe" doesn't pop.
then i go back to my contacts, click john doe, edit him, and the name field is empty... weird given android already displays this contact as john doe...
