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
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.
Guys,
I've posted this before but nobody has helped me yet.
Basically put I have a couple of contacts for which I have more than one contact number (home, Mobile etc..)
Anyway, when i receive a call from one of these contacts, the name is not resolved, the picture is not shown and the custom ringtone I have chosen (all by vanilla stock rom means) does not ring!!
I have seen this happen with "Exact" matches to contacts in my Contacts list and also if I have entered the number as "+447760....." instead of using the default "07760...." prefix for UK mobile numbers (as I'm abroad a lot so need to use that to dial them) it also refuses to recognise that they are in fact the same number - something my Artemis did without an issue.
Please help me resolve this - it's ruining my HD experience!
Thanks
21 views and no replies - come on guys please - going on a trip tomorrow and I need this to be sorted if poss - doing my head in!!
I had exactly the same problem on my X1, which I have now sold so I could get a HD. I was on o2 uk using itje's 5.061 rom. What network are you on and which rom and what software have you installed? maybe something we both installed is causing the problem
Right, I'm on a stock rom on an unbranded Touch HHD on the Vodafone network. Programs I've installed are as follows:
Changscreen,
HDTweak
Advanced Config
S K Tools
Battlog
Fingerkeyboard
Resco file Explorer
Very strange - it might have happened since I restored a backup but I doubt it.
Try reducing Phone>Call ID match number in Advanced Config.
I have similar problem... Just installed dutty 3.0X and when i sinchronized all my contacts become duplicated, so i deleted manual only the first ones. And now when someone from the contacts is ringing i dont get picture or his name and I am sure that i have the same number in the contact list. Odd
Anyone have any other ideas about this? Still causing me some considerable pain - I seem to recall it started after I started to reconcile the outlook contacts with my PC - this may have caused a different contact ID (or something?)
same problem and no solutoin... :-(
i managed to fix this by reassigning the phone numbers to the contacts page. It seems to occur when you use 3rd party contact management apps before you have assigned numbers.
Works fine now
mslookout inserts spaces into phone number, and prolly phone cannot recognise incoming number having spaces in phonebook?
I also cant fix it by changing CallIDMatch in the registry. It's bizarre as I have 2 contacts in my favourites: both are now set to No's starting with '0' yet when one texts me, their name shows and when the other does, their number shows. hard and soft resets have also failed to resolve this, HTC helpdesk no use at all, also logged with Windows helpdesk in case it is a microsoft, not htc, problem.
Am keen for other things to try, open to suggestions....
Am disappinted and amazed that what is otherwise a great phone, can't do what cheap cr*ppy phones, can , ie show the name of the person calling or texting.
Have you tried using Advanced Config and increasing Call ID match to 9 or 10?
No caller name when receiving Incoming Call
This may be an old thread, but sometimes the newer ROMs also have the same problem.
This happened to me after updating my from from WM 6.1 to WEH 6.5.3. So, I am updating this thread on how I resolved my problem.
Step 1. Edit the Registry and change the CallIDMatch value to 7 (the original value was 10).
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:00000007
Step 2. Soft Reset (power off and restart)
Before I did this, I needed to copy my contacts from SIM to the Outlook Contacts list, so in my Contacts list, I have "double view" of both lists on the same screen - frustrating.
After this change of the Registry key value, I erased all my contacts from the Outlook Contacts list (use the Hide Sim Contacts function) because I prefer to have my default contacts to be from the SIM card instead of the Outlook Contacts. This way, I can be assured that all newer contacts will be stored on the SIM card and I do not have to worry about losing contacts if I change phones.
Does anyone know how to UNINSTALL the myfaves UI from the T-Mobile TP2. Not the simple 'hide' option from the myfaves settings. I am talking about completely removing it from the OS, I don't like the fact that the faves that are setup cannot be removed from the contact list at all, you can try to delete them, but they just reappear. I have my personal contact list setup, but I don't like the format of the myfaves, so i am looking to remove it without having to change my rateplan, etc....thanks to whomever can solve this for me...
Since they are in the ROM, you can't delete the myfaves executables, but you can completely disable it so that it doesn't meddle with your contacts, or replace your contacts' photos with the myfaves icon when you call them or they call you.
To "uninstall" myfaves from the T-Mobile TP2, delete the following Registry keys:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Services\MyFaves]
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\My5]
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
After deleting those keys, reset you phone. After that, you will be able to delete the myfaves contacts from your contacts and they won't come back.
In case you are new to editing the registry on winMo and don't know how to delete the key, get phm registry editor ,
If you just want to remove the myfavs from the home screen so you can get at the TF3d home go into settings and myfavs and just disable it.
you will get the home screen and the nice roladex look alike contact screen also.
your myfavs favs that are listed will still work when you call them also : )
As title says what do i have to do to see inly device contacts... i go to filter select Device contacts.. but when i exit and enter again i see both sim and device contacts... and i am tired to delete the contacts from sim..
sim-fix
Pls search for "kaiser sim-fix" in this forum.
Kaiser sim-fix will fix your Problem.

Hi,
That is correct. I used it on my Mega & now only phone contacts are visible.
Dang, yesterday i was playing with this. I copied my sim contacts to phone memory for the first time and it cant show only phone contacts, it shows all of them, strange.
Use a registery editor and go to following key : HKCU\ControlPanel\Phone\ShowSIM and modify it from 1 to 0
