SmartDialing search by FirstName/LastName

When i try to call somebody through SmartDialing it searches by LastName/FirstName is there a way or some registry hack where i can do it by FirstName/LastName......

isn't anybody facing any problem in this regard???

are u serious????
nobody is experiencing it????
is it only me???

.... is there a solution yet???

same problem
I have the same problem.
In Portugal, we call people by first name/last name.
Anybody knows how to fix it?
Regards
Marcus

I don't know what smart dialing you ppl are talking about but on my exec if i seach by name in contacts it gives both results - by first as well as last name.
If I use the keypad to key numbers in the dial mode then it searchs by number, firstname and lastname. So whats the issue about? Also the list of people is displayed wherein the matches for the firstname are displayed first and then the lastname. Yes the names are displayed in lastname-firstname format but that doesn't really make a difference does it? (the names are highlighted to the last character keyed in)

The only way to change the order from Last, First to First Last is via desktop Outlook. Go into Tools > Options > Contact Options and change the "Default Full Name order" and "Default File As order" options to what you wish.
However, the only way to change the existing contacts is to go into each within desktop Outlook and change the File As option.

but isn't there a way or a registry hack to change the display to FirstName/LastName in smart dialing?

In contacts, press the contacts and it appears a new item in Menu in order to make first name, last name

how do you dial from a note?

I put a phone number down in the notes of my appointment by mobile outlook, and when the reminder pops up, I just want to click and dial the number -- not select it, activate the dialer, then menu>paste and finally dial.
In my old blackberry, all I had to do was enter, 'tel:555-1212' and it would automatically convert it to a link -- click on it and the number was automatically dialed.
Is there an equivalent in WM5?
Also, I noticed that I can't just send ANOTHER text msg to someone in my sent box -- reply sends a message back to ME. Forward has me enter the previous number again. Am I missing something?

Interesting, a friend of mine and myself are also interested in this feature !

Tried it. Doesn't work on my phone. Is it supposed to?

Did you add a space or line feed/return after the telephone number? Mine doesn't create a link until one of those is entered.

That works, thou I thought about something else.
I'm using Pocketbreeze and what would be great would be to be able to call persons you added in the list of persons included "add person..."
like to be able to choose from a list when the notification appears.
Guess that's not possible atm

I think that that has been requested over at SBSH's forums but I don't remember if it was a planned addition or not. However, if Amit responded like he usually does, he will probably add it at some point if he can.

As far as PB, if you have PB set to show the note icon next to appts or tasks, you can tap on the note icon and it will open the preview window. Tap on the link and it will dial as well. No opening your PIM needed.
One other thing, you can also create a direct link to email as in the example below:
MailTo:[email protected]

[solved] How to set sms service number?

Since yesterday my hero doesn't receive sms, only sends... Any one knows how to set again my operator's number (I'm under 3 Italia)?

just open your phone app and type *#*#4636#*#*
don't call wait for somting to open after that press phone info or soming like that (the top 1 ) afther that scroll down there is a box if you put the number there it wil do and press save
p.s. don't know the real translation of it form dutch

Entering the sms centre number doesn't affect incoming sms does it? Have you spoke to your network provider?
Tried your sim card in another handset?
Sent from my HTC Hero using XDA App

Thank's to both, but the solution was that you indicated. I had a new rom installed without normal messaging app, and that - I believe - wiped somewhere the center number. Even changing the sim, all continued the same. But reinstalling the center service number in that hidden menu resolved...

[Q] Incoming Call on WM7

Can someone clarify if WM7 will show both the full name and company for incoming calls.
I save all my contacts in outlook and use the File As to show both Person & Company i.e. John Smith(ABC Ltd).
I have over 1500 contacts for work and it's one of the features that has kept me with Windows for years.
I've tried Android and that doesn't do it. Iphone doesn't do it. Nokia doesn't do it - Not sure about Blackberry.
Also does WM7 have smart dial - I'm sure I read that it didn't, again it's a feature that's kept me with Windows, I have a shocking memory and being able to dial by first name, last name, company or telephone number is invaluble.
Cheers

For me it shows only 1st and last name + picture if available. Company info is a no go as long as you don't incorporate it in the contact name itself as I usually do.
Smartdial: No. But searching the contact list is easy. Just type 2-3 letters and you have narrowed the results enough. I'm saying this with 700+ contacts.

...I very much like to use voice dial, too. Very reliable, in fact, and fast.

Dear All,
I'm experiencing very strange issue with my WP7 HTC HD2, when receiving call form my saved contacts.
Almost all my contacts are saved in my phone with international dialing code as I'm living abroad.
When I receive call abroad, the name of my contact is displayed.
When I receive call at home the name is not displayed, only the number is displayed and I dont know who is calling while the number is saved in my phone with international dialing code.
To have the name displayed I have to save the number again without international dialing code.
I have the same issue when I dialing also.
Please help.

Apply the following registry and it will solve your problem:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:7

The 3 things I dislike on my SGS2 coming from 3 Years of HTC

Sorry for this rant but I am finding it more difficult to live with these Issues everyday..
1. The call history list all calls (dialed, missed, received) and Messages as well! this is annoying, I dont want to see my message history in my call log, and there is no way to hide it except to view by just one call category, Dialed, missed or received.
2. Dialing a contact by name from the phone key pad, I can only search by the First name and not by second name, On my htc Desire/HD I could very well search by any of the names listed for a contact but unable to do so on this phone, this is really annoying as well.
3. Pull down notification bar would not work in the middle of a call unless I go to the home screen.. not cool.
If anyone knows a work around or other roms that addresses these issue please feel free to recommend.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this , definitely prefer this to stock dailer ...

Try "Dialer One" from the market, it works very similar to the htc desire. And is very customable.
