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.

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?
Thansk
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.

I'm looking also for a sollution, but Microsoft it's sleeping and dont do nothing about this filter problem... all this years and wm it's the same ****...
ike i said, i need a program that i can pretty much seem to im people, but i need to do it over text messaging. anything would be useful
bumpo.....
no one knows how to do this? do i really have to go buy a new phone for this? this is ridiculous...
How about PocketCM.
It arranges text messages in a thread like fashion.
The texts received from a number show in one colour, with your replies underneath in a different colour.
Worth trying maybe?
VERY much, thank you sooo much
i tried it on the phone but it doesnt support sim contacts... anthing else?
If you register for AIM mobile, you can setup your screen name to be online 24/7 and it'll fwd IMs to your phone. Only problem is there's no buddylist, and you can't really initiate conversations, only reply.
i really need something that i can initiate the conversation, but how do i sign up for it?
bumpooooooo
well im sure this has probably been covered already, i did a quick search but didnt find anything. so if it has i apologize. now the problem im having is when i receive a SMS from some one in my contacts it doesn't show their name, it just shows the number that it came from with the whole number (ex: +18185555555) is there a setting that i need to set so when i get a txt from one of my contacts it shows their name?
thanks in advance.
maybe you have it wrong in the contacts?
Is the "+" in the number for that person in ur contacts? Try adding the "1" to the area code in there...
Are you running any kind of SMS software or contact software that might be screwing it up? I've installed SMS programs that completely sucked and screwed everything up...
If yo're running a 3rd party Rom, have you run the network wizard?

i just got my wing today, im coming from a MDA. i did a sync from mda to my PC installed the new wing sync software, then synced my wing it copied all my contacts to my wing. i was thinking of adding the + and the 1 to the contacts but that will take for ever as i have over 200 contacts. i just thought since it copied over my contacts with no problem when i would get a txt it would show the name just like my MDA.
I was going to say, make sure you're contacts don't have the "+" since that might affect it.
It should work fine, so I really don't know what to tell you.
If you jsut got the phone today, hard reset it and sync all your contacts to it again and try again.
If that doesn't help, Maybe someone else on here can enlighten us... but it doesn't make any sense, unless for some reason the numbers in your contacts are formatting incorrectly or something.
sigh, and i just got it going with all these new programs that are listed here. oh well ill just hard reset it and start over shouldnt be to much of a hassle. might as well put in a new ROM while im at it.
thanks for your help.
Might as well flash a new rom. The Stock T-mobile Rom sucks.
I'll suggest Touch-IT 4.4
so i switched to a rom without htc messaging and everything is great but the only thing i miss from that is when you hit new message and add recipient you could go into the list and check off people to send to.
in standard you have to add each person individually.
anyone know of an app to match that functionality? it was real handy
yea i know one, its called HTC messaging!
if htc messaging could handle lots of texts n not make me have to empty my inbox daily then id use it
hehe.can't complain myself, never had any problems, but I rarely get more than 30 or so txts built up before I hard reset.
yea for those of us doin like 200 a day its just about the worst software ever. got to the point of soft resets hourly
Um I dont know if this is the same thing you guys are talking about, but when you want to type a new msg and you have the box to type in names, to the right you should have a pawn icon, if you tab the pawn icon you can select multiple contacts and dont have to type their names to auto complete.
Hope that was what you guys were talking about.
the OP isnt using the htc messaging which is what you are using and refering to
found a program called group sms in omarket which is rather old but works.
only issue is when you select a group to send to everyone in the group is pre checked so i have to untick everyone i dont want it sent to. if there was an option for that itd be perfect

heh Sorry, it was like 5am when I was reading that. My Apologies.
I keep getting a notification to request friends from HTC Sense Friends. However all the friends are just listed as "Orange" with the option Request or Ignore.
How can I disable this?
Thanks
What happens is HTCSense.com syncs all your contacts to it's database. In your case, you have "Orange" in your phone book.
When someone else with "Orange" in their phone book (you can imagine that it's quite a lot!) syncs up with HTCSense.com, then HTCSense.com goes "Oh look! This is the same person, maybe these people are buddies!" and suggests that you might be friends with them.
I get it with "Vodafone" and "Voicemail" too. I also had "Aaaaa" which was a remnant of an old featurephone that I would always end up pocket-calling (was one of those phones where pressing the select button takes you into the menu, then the phone book, then the first contact, then calls it - so I put a dummy entry in to stop it from calling anyone!)
Easiest way around it is to rename your contacts to something else. So you could change "Orange" to "Orange Customer Services" - however you'll probably find that someone else has that too...so you might need to get more obscure with your naming!
Or you just disable HTCsense sync (Options->Accounts and sync).
If you don't really use it, there's no point of it draining ur battery while u sleep
what exactly does HTCsense sync do ?
i mean if we stop it from syncing , will that affect the sense.com website and we wont be able to track the phone or ring/lock it ?
Hi all, I'm getting the same thing. At first I was ignoring them but they kept coming back so I clicked the Request button to see if it would go away, but no it says I have them as friends but offers more of the same contacts (main one being "show balance") to add as freinds. Can someone please help cos this happends every second day?

Sorry about that I should have addressed it as I'm still getting the same thing. I did change them by removing letters and it was still showing up and found out it's the number its finding, but after all that I found out that it was O2 numbers from when I joined HTC Sence with a HD2 desire rom and now I'm with vodafone and they aren't applicable so have now deleted them
very sorry about that, I am a Noob
