1- Tap on the contact you want to assignt to a group
2- Tap Edit
3- Scroll down to Categories
4- Tap on Categories
5- Select one of the existing categories or if you want to add a new one yourself tap at add/delete tab and enter a new one.

Can you then assign ring tones to groups?

No XDA II hasn't a build-in option to assign ringtones to groups or persons.
However there are third party programs which offer this functionality.
A free one can be downloaded at: http://phonext.oabsoftware.nl

Prevent Audo Dial when a Contact is Pressed in Phone Dialler?

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?
(MUN zoom doesn't work properly on HD)

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.

Removing contacts SPB

hello guys,
I have a question with the SPB gui. So for the contacts I added someone I barely call to the quick call panel section, how do I remove this person from the group of panels? Not sure what you call it actually but if you click on contacts from the main screen, its the screen with the contacts that you assign to each panel with a picture(if you have a picture of that person). Thanks.

Point and hold down the finger on the contact you want to remove and a menu will pop up. There you can choose to delete the contact.

wow thanks a lot!

[HELP] HTC Contact lost "categories"

The Contacts software in HTC used to have a "categories" tab that I can select to view contacts in specific categories. But after a while the tab is gone and now I can't even access the categories function altogether.
Can anybody help with this issue?

the tab that you have missing from the bottom bar is call history, not categories.
To get categories, , from the 'all' page click menu - filter and it lists all teh possible categories.
I don't know why your call history tab has vanished, very strange.

But I remember that I once had a tab which shows my categories, and when I click in one of the categories I have the options to send SMS to all the contacts in that category or to view individual contacts.
The call history tab is still there, in the HTC dialer. The picture I'm showing is the Contact List when I press the left soft button in the dialer.

Yep, thats the one, , , green send button - all contacts - slide to right end tab gives me call history.
(see image)
to get categories i click menu - filter

Hey... I think what you need is... a direct dial/ direct message for a contact
So here's how you do it
1. Longpress on the home screen
2. Select Shortcuts
3. Select Direct Dial or Direct Message - depending on what you want to do
4. Select the contact
and voila - you're done
What I have is a folder on my homescreen with direct dials of all the contacts I call frequently.. its very useful
