Hi everyone,
Sorry if this is the wrong forum. I am super new at this but I dislike the way new Contacts are added. I think the "form" where one has to enter the Contact information such as the name, company, department, phone, email... etc is too long and it contains too much information.
Is there a program that can allow me to add new contacts and just prompts for just a few crucial details such as the name, phone number and maybe one or two other details?
Thanks!

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...

Hi!
I love my phone. One issue id that I know how to view contacts by group, but I cant figure out hpw to view contacts by organization. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Is there some how to convert the organization fields into the group field?
Thanks-
Robert
Please help! I am using the dudes roger 0.5 which kicks ass. I need to be able to sort m contacts by organization.. I have no exchange server and dont know anything about exchange. I used to use activesynch whith my old artemis.
PLease?
I dont know if I was clear,
I mean when you enter a contact, and you enter their name , number, ertc... you can also enter the name of their organization. I am not sure if this is the defauls set up since I synched my outlook contacts with gmail to get them into my phone... but the issue is I want to be able to see my contacts by the organization they belong too... It is very difficult to find people by just searching for their name as I cant remember everyones name, but I do know the company they are saved under. This seems like such an important basic figure. Am I missing something obvious?
Android 2.2 on HTC EVO
I have the same issue. I use Outlook 2007 on my desktop computer an use HTC sync to sync with my EVO. On my desktop Outlook all my contacts are filed by Company. When they came in on the EVO they are filed by contact name. What a joke for a business phone. Android calls the company field Organization. I also can't remember individual names of people at every company contact. There should be a setting to file by Name, Organization, etc.
If there is no Android setting than even an APP would solve the problem. If I can't get a solution the phones going back and I will have to try an iPhone. Had Windows mobile 6.5 with no outlook issues.
Thanks, Barry
Hello Folks!!
I have a big problem with my contacts...especially with my own contact card I have connected a few of my contacts (friends) with details from their facebookaccounts, for this reason you have to log into your own facebookAcc of course.
Well, this is the problem: Once you connect with facebook, your User ID will be overwritten with your details from the FB Account. In my case this is useless, because my FB Acc works with a pseudonyme But now i can´t use my HD2 with my own ("real") name, what is quite problematic in the context of software which is registred on a specific User ID.
Any help? I would be very very thankful...
i havn´t found a solution yet...for this reason:
*UP*
If you go into your contacts for whatever person is linked to FB, you can go to the very bottom after "editing" that contact and simply remove click on the "Tap to Remove Facebook Link".
I believe that will at least rid you of the connection that is causing this issue for you. I don't seem to have the same problem, the only thing it seems to overwrite is the birthday and the picture, so now whatever pic is on FB for that contact is what shows when that person calls, which is pretty cool.
perhaps my introduction was a little bit confusing (i think i´ll never get an oscar for my english^^), i´ll try it in other words:
There´s nothing wrong with the other contacts in my list, it´s just about my "owner card" (UserID of the Device itself), which has been overwritten by the "pseudonym-details" from my facebook account. For this reason some programs don´t work right now, because they have been registred on my "real" owner infos.
Do you now what I mean?
Try correcting your details in the registry, I think the setting you need is 'HKCU\ControlPanel\Owner\Name'.
Or create a separate contact with your own name and details, then choose 'menu -> save to my business card' (I have a Dutch device so I'm not sure if that's the name of the option). Not sure if that'll overwrite your Facebook nickname, but it's worth a try.
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!

Hi, I have searched alot and i cant find if its possible to link contacts to their facebook even if you do not have them as a friend on your FB account!
I ask this because i don't JUST LET ANYONE see my facebook i only let real and true friends see it and I dont add random class mates even though i got the contact details etc.
so my question is
is it possible to link contacts to their facebook even if you do not have them as a friend on your FB account!

I doubt it as it would be part of the security that Facebook runs, nothing to do with the device.

Facebook also allows people to set the privacy options! If the person allows EVERYONE to see the profile pic then it should download to my phone init!
Not sure if it works, but if you can it would be a manual process.
If you go to the outlook contact of someone you HAVE linked, you'll see something like this:
Code:
<HTCData><!-- Please do not modify -->
<Facebook>id:(numbers)/friendof:(mynum)</Facebook>
</HTCData><sn>id:(numbers)/friendof:(mynum)</sn>
You would copy that, paste it into your other friend's outlook contact, and edit the (numbers) portion to be that person.
AKA, a complete waste of time, but it might work.
