Hi,
my Sister has the HTC Diamond, and since she has her own Business she wanted me to ask if there was any Way to have a 2nd Phonebook, or Contactlist?
She basically wants to seperate her personal Contacts from her Business Contacts.
Or are there any Settings to sort the Contacts by Groups?
Thanks for any Help, Answers, Solutions.
There's a Filter By option which will allow you to filter your contacts by various categories. You just need to assign the contacts to individual categories for it to work as desired.
When you do a Filter By, it will retain your last selection, so if you Filter By business (or something), it will remain filtered by business until you change it. Not sure if a SR will change it back.

HOw does she assign the different Groups?
DOes she do that by editing each Contact or does she select a Group somewhere and sets a checkmark in front of the Contacts she wants in the Category?
Thanks for any Answers
groups
much easier if you have icontact.cab

Will that work with no Problems without changing Registry?
Cuz she dont wanna go to deep into her Diamond due to the Fact that she might send it in soon anyways due to high Tempratures by Use and Charge (which is normal for the Diamond but not understandable for my SiS)
she can use outlook for editing the contacts with multiplce categories even pictures and just sync everything over ActiveSync/WMDC

Haven't played with iContact, I ended up doing mine by editing each contact and placing them in the desired group.
Icontacts is very helpful for what you want. You can have as many list as you want.
In the first you can write names for your busines ,in the second your personal, in third all. More info, links and a skin i made , here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3261708#post3261708

I've got myself a new Vario, but I can't seem to get the contacts to sort by first name - is there any way to do this?
Sorry if this is a dumb question! I've been mucking about with it for ages!
Many thanks
Zakkz,
Welcome to the forum :wink:. Please read this introduction.
Here's a couple of links on your question.

yes it is possible,
even different ways to get this:
you can use a little freeware application 'File As First Last" that will be included in the default contacts applications. It allows you to save the contact by "firstname lastname" 'or even by company etc. The application can be found on pocketpcfreewares.com: http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=828
you could also change the contact settings on your desktop...within the Outlook contact, you can change the setting 'save contact as', there you can chose to use "firstname lastname"
yet another way to solve this problem is to use another application for your contacts. Pocket Informant is really very good! there you can easily chose to sort the contacts by "firstname lastname"...you can also chose to see the contact pictures in the list of contacts, which is really great I think!
and you've got many many other options and settings to change the calendar/contacts/tasks views...also a really great search function within Pocket Informant...try it for yourself...
CIAO!

Hi
I am thinking about buying the Wizard (qtek 9100) (or the coming model Hermes) but before I do I need to have two answers.
I use a organizational system in outlook from windows press and without certain functions the wizard would be useless with my system.
Is it possible to adjust Wizard to show and group objects in the task list as "Categories" (that I create myself):?:
(In the same way as "due date" and so forth. Is categories an option in the wizard as it for example NOT is with Nokia mobiles.)
The second question is if it is possible so synchorize subfolders (in personal folders) in outlook with the wizard :?:
Danne
For Tasks, you can filter by category, but you cannot sort them by category. In other words, you can have Tasks show you what are in individual categories, one category at a time.
Yes, you can sync subfolders with Outlook. You can configure exactly which folders you'd like to sync using ActiveSync.
Thanks, but...?
Hi,
Sorry that my response took so long, I was out on a spontaneous party
Thanks for the answers :!:
However I have some uncertainties concerning my first question about grouping by categories and would be grateful if you took the time to see my questions.
:?: Actually it is not even possible to SORT by categories in outlook, only "grouping" (I am not shure if that is the exact english equivalent word). Do you know it it is possible to GROUP by categories (not only filter)?
:?: And is it possible to see categories as a own "field" (I am not shure here either if that is the exact english eqvivalent word) the way you can see "Subject" and "Due date" in different fields in the task list?
Is it possible to transfer categories that you create yourself in outlook (that has a lot of tasks conncected to them) to wizard, or create the new categories in wizard.
Last question. If the answer is no to the above questions, is it easy (only one or two steps) to filter by categories? In outlook there is many steps to do that.

Nope, you can't group or sort by categories - you can only see tasks in a particular category, one category at a time.
And is it possible to see categories as a own "field" (I am not shure here either if that is the exact english eqvivalent word) the way you can see "Subject" and "Due date" in different fields in the task list?

Nope, you can't display the category field on the task list.

That I'm not sure, but I don't see why not.

Yep, real easy. Tap on Menu, then Filter, then select a category.
If possible, I would borrow a Pocket PC from someone and try it out for yourself. Or I'm sure your mobile phone store will have a reasonable return policy
Thanks!
Thanks for taking the time to answer all my questions! Now I have the information I need to make a decision.
I am going to check the filtering function and see if it suits my needs but I wish it was possible to group them by cateory.
If you know of any other smartmobile were that is possible please let me know.

Can I exclude some contacts or better yet remember the category view.I want to exclude the tons of people I email but don't call often from the sync to my wm5/8525 or is there a way to get my contacts display to remember the category's i want to exclude.
Every time I close out the contacts all the contacts go back to the huge list, then i have to go back to exclude or just picking the category i want then pick the person or contact.
I don't want to maintain 2 separate contact lists and I don't see an option to exclude a contact from the sync..or to get wm5 to rember the category view after I close it.
thanks guys

This May Not Be A Full Solution
There's a third-party software out there that manages your contacts. I don't know if you can selectively sync, but it does have the "remember last category viewed" feature.
Download the Inesoft Address Book here:

I've never used it so caveat emptor. Has anybody out there used it before?
Thanks,

I love the N1 but the contacts is really starting to annoy me, is there a way to add contacts with just their first names instead of having first and last? For instance i have a friend named James and when i try to add a new contact for a different person named Jimmy, it'll automatically lump him in under James unless i put a last name, any way to separate them and other contacts who are supposedly similar names?
At the bottom of a new entry you'll see a "More" option. Click that and add a "Nickname"
I use first and last names usually as well as nick names. I do notice that it lumps people under the same group as My dad is named Mike and i am too.. Its got all my emails lumped underneath him which is definitely annoying.
go to the contact it gets merged with, choose edit, hit menu and select seperate.
I find the easiest way to add/update/delete contacts / update calendar (apologies if I's stating the bleedin' obvious..) is do do it inline from my PC/Laptop with a nice big screen 'n keyboard.. then she syncs up pretty-da**-quick..
There also seem to be some fields (eg Birthdate) which I can't edit in the N1 version
Cheers!

In my Contacts, if someone has more than one phone number, I store the separately because I find it easier to find and dial a specific number.
example:
John Doe (Mobile)
John Doe (Work)
John Doe (Home)
But I seem to only be able link John Doe's facebook profile to one of the numbers to use the 'contact picture'. When I try and link the same person's facebook profile to the other numbers, his/her name doesn't appear in the list to choose from anymore.
Does anyone know whether it's possible to link the same facebook profile more than once so that all three of the numbers show the contact's facebook profile pic?
To be honest, I don't think it's possible.
- and to be even more honest, I think you might be the only person on the planet thinking dividing people into more contacts than one combined is the easiest.
I just don't think HTC thought anyone would find it more logical that way...!?
FB contact pictures should be stored in Windows\FBContacts folder, try assigning those to your contacts manually

hahaha.. i find it easier to find and dial someone's number like that... that is, one-press instead of two when someone has more than one number... may just be that i'm used to it that way..
Really, my contacts were only stored that way because the original list was exported from a whole range of different phones... some that didnt have the capability to store more than one number for a contact. There's hundreds of numbers that I really don't want to sort out individually... and of course I might end up going back to a basic phone in future.
oh wellz...

thanks p107r0.. i gave that a shot, but when selecting the profile picture, there's no option to go into the Windows\FBContacts folder to get the picture...
I'm guessing if there was a way to acess that folder to select a file, it might work well because the pics in that folder would get updated accordingly (but the file name would remain the same) whenever someone changes their profile pic.
Can always copy that entire folder into an "Album", but it won't update itself if someone changed their profile pic.
my advise is to sync your contacts with gmail. gmail provides you with easy way off finding duplicates and also merging contacts. you'd be amazed how easy it is.
