if anyone is famaliar with iGO or MioMap, could you tell me how to add favorite/contacts? i have my friend's address in the history but i would like to actually save it somewhere, i dont know how to do this, im guessing it needs to be saved to the POI but idk how to do this.
thanks for any help!
I can provide you with some help for iGO.
Go to Map, then you press Menu->History. Pick up the address of the person you want to add as POI, iGO will show you the location on the map. Open the bottom menu of the main screen by pressing the arrow in the bottom right corner. Choose POI->Add POI, enter the name of the new POI and press Done. Now you will see a summary of your new POI. The POI is stored in a new group of POIs - "Unnamed". To change the name of the group go back to map view (press twice backspace arrow in the top left corner). Choose Menu->Quick->Manage POI->My POI->Unnamed->Edit and change the name to what ever you want.
thanks! looks like with MioMap i cant do this, which is pretty weird, but fortunatly with iGO it was just that easy.
if you have his address properly entered in your contacts it should show up in MIO pois under contacts
you must have the address in the following format
Street address
City, STATE zip code
I dont understand how to do this. I select Menu, but I dont see History. History is available from Find or Manage but I dont see any way of adding a contact there. A Windows Mobile device has a Contacts menu on the Today screen. Is there no way of iGo picking up an address from there?

HI All - Does anyone know how to force the phone display to show my contacts as <first name> <second name> rather than the other way a round?
I tried the hack available at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41968&sid=b73d9d6aacdea440d7d0dd916618b70c
but it didn't seem to make a difference
Dear stevep,
After installing this hack, you should tap and hold on the name in the contacts window and choose " File as: First Last " from the menu...
Regards and thanks...
Hiya! Are we talking about the same window? I mean the one that appears in the phone application. I think you are talking aobut the 'tap and hold feature' in CONTACTS app NOT the PHONE app. If I 'tap and hold' when in phone mode...I just get a window that shows all that contact's telephone numbers plus an option to send them a text
Thanks anyway
Dear stevep,
I meant that, after installing the hack, if you tap and hold in the contacts on a name and choose " File as: First Last " from the menu, then the name order is changed to First Last and this should also effect the phone window view.Now you should see the same view order in the phone window...
Regards and thanks...
File as <first> <last>
Hi again - Thanks for the reply
This is strange. The names are filed 'First' then 'Last' in Contacts, but in the phone view SOME aren't. I specifically changed one in Contacts to First Last...and when I opened up the phone window it was showing LAST, FIRST
:x
Dear stevep,
i advice you to soft reset after changing the orders to first last, because the phone window doesnt refresh it self till soft reset...May be this helps...
Regards and thanks...
Names 'order' in Contacts
Sorry...it does not appear to do this even after a soft boot. ie I still get LAST FIRST in some contacts in the phone window whilst they are FIRST LAST in Contacts
Thanks
I tried searching thorugh the xda forums for an original HTC Home Plugin thread, but couldn't locate one, so i'll start here and maybe someone can forward me to the right place.
I have contacts in my contact list that just have a Company name, and not a first or last name.
The problem is that these contacts cannot be added to the quick dial area of the HTC Home Plugin, it will allow you to select it, but it doesn't show up, and you are unable to click that entry to dial the number. However, if you go edit that contact and add a first / last name, then it magically shows up on the quick dial.
Does anyone know of a bug fix / workaround for getting contacts with just a company name to show up? (And please don't say add a first / last name, that's obviously a solution, but not a fix.)
Any way to also have the phone number displayed on the screen as well when selecting a contact?
If you have multiple numbers on a contact, it just lists the contact 3 times.
J.D.
put the company name in the name field and then change file as: to the company name and it won't change it to look like a name
Hi to everybody,
does somebody know a tricks to make the device remenber the last category you use in contact, I mean if i use contact know and I check a number under work category, I'd like the next time I will use contact the device opens directly contactc from the work category.
Open contact,
highlight/select the contact,
select desired category (work/mobile/home..) by pressing left/right hard button
close
open again >> you'll see the last selected category.
Thanks for your answer but may be I don't understand the exactly sequence you wrote because I'm not able to do it.
What are the left/right button? Do you mean the jog dial or the green and the red button? I don'y have others hard button.
What I did is:
1. green button from today to acess phone,
2. soft key on contact ,
3. soft key menu to select filter and category type,
till here everything ok, but ilf I close contact and then I return to contact The device doesn't remember and restart from all contacts.
Sorry I misunderstood your question. I think what your intended cannot be done. It will always return to all contacts.
Hi guys, i'm having a really strange and very frustrating problem with my phone. I was out the other night and had had a few drinks and i tried to add a contact to my phone. I somehow got to a menu that had an option for a name, a number and a drop down menu for the type of contact info it was, 'Mobile' as it was this time. It also had at least 1 largish button that said something like 'add more'. I looked for the contact the next day but it wasn't there and it doesn't come up if i search for the name i inputted. Weirdly, the same menu came up when i sent a text earlier with all the info i'd input still there. I clicked the save button at the bottom left of the screen and assumed it would be saved to contacts but it wasn't. Its definitely not the normal contacts menu for either outlook or sim contacts.
Any ideas where this menu is guys? Its weird and really hard to describe and i could do with finding the contact details.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If its what I think you're talking about, go to contacts tab > all people > select a contact > edit contact > more > and then you should be presented with a large contact card with add more functions etc. Is this what you were talking about?
No its not that, its just a couple of boxes, a drop down menu and a button or two. Along with the 2 standard buttons bottom left and right. I've no idea where to find it. Its a much more graphics based interface than the fairly texty looking contacts page you described.
Thanks for the try though!
I'm new to the android, mostly I like it, but there is one thing that is driving me nuts. I don't know if I'm missing something or stupid or what.
There are a number of times I have gotten to my list of contacts - i.e. from Google Maps defining a location to navigate to, or creating a shortcut to a contact- that I get presented with a list of all my contacts (1500+) and no apparent way to search the list.
If I press the search button it brings up the contact search, but then I seem to have lost the app that wanted the contact. Is there a way to do a search on the contacts and then have it get entered into the original app? I also tried google gesture search, which was great, but I can't figure out how to do anything with the contact other than call them.
I'm beginning to think I am dense or something, please help.
if i understand correctly, i think you want to navigate to a specific contact's address from google maps?
if so, all you need to do is, while in google maps, in the destination field just type the contacts name. and if you have their address saved in your contacts it should just pop up with their address.
For maps tha'ts great, I must remember not to rush things at traffic lights.
However, the thing I am still having trouble with is creating direct dial shortcuts. I go to create the shortcut, and get a long list of contacts and A-Z on the right. I can pick a letter, but there are still hundreds of phone numbers to go through. There is no search box available at that point - I tried pushing the search button and it searches the contact list, but then all I can do is call the contact, not create a shortcut. I tried BetterCut and it doesn't have the A-Z selector.
Am i missing something here too?
This is the problem of not having a physical keyboard. And not having gestures in all lists. What you are doing is exactly what I want to do many times and there is unfortunately no way around it except scrolling up and down a list. Very annoying idiom started by the iPhone and unfortunately copied by Android. There is simply no way to filter lists unless every list is accompanied by a filter text field.
