Hi,
when in contacts, you can type the first (or any) letters of someones name and the list will filter down until you are left with the person you want.
eg..type J and you get James, Jane, Jim, etc
type A (JA) and you get James, Jane..
I'm fairly sure that when I had my first WM device (O2 Orbit), when you were in this section you could also type the phone number and the same thing would happen..but this doesn't work anymore. Was this removed for a reason, or does anyone know how to reactivate it?
thanks
You can do it on the Phone menu, start typing the number and it will shouw you the contacts.
Was that it?
thanks....very similar but it only shows the people if you start the number from the beginning.
let's just say my contact has the name Fred and the number 01234567
if I type FR I get FRed
if I type RE I get fREd
if I type 0123 I get fred
but if I type 234...I get no matches.
still...not a major issue, I just wondered where it went to is all

just wondering if it is possible to search my address book for a person by typing in their phone number..
i have over 600 contacts on my JASJAR, and sometimes i get calls on my other phone from unsaved numbers, and my only way to look them up is on the host PC's Outlook 2003's Contacts search..
i wonder if i can do the same on the JASJAR, any ideas?
On my KJam the Contats application is able to search for phone numbers.
As I checked, i found that you have to type the exact number (starting with the area code), while for names you can search for parts as well. Strange.
bingo!
i was wondering why the search bar said "Enter a name or number.."
all my number start with the country code.. so i never stumbled across that.
thanks
Hi
I tried to search in magician forum about this, but it seems not find any similar to this
Have you ever have a feeling to find name by phone number? as for instance I got miss call from 123 111 number but does not show any name in my missed call list
so I open up contacts, but unfortunately, it only allows me to search by name not by phone number...
any idea how to do this?
THanks so much

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use the "Find" from Programs, type phone number, select "Contact" and voila!
Ow... I didn't realize that this possible as last time I tried them but resulting nothing (probably the number is not exist there and I assumed this function is not working)
Sorry questioning this question as I should read my manual more
you have to put number exactly as it writen in contacts... +38039....
and name will appears
Yea, I just notice that you need to enter exact number (with / without space) otherwise will not show anything... totally a bad search function...!!!
you can use Smart Dial: push green key then, just digit 5-6 cifres of the number and the pda will search all the contacts that contains the 5-6 cifres sequence.

Try the Standard Search option and you can find the contacts by numbers. Cheers
Hm... found anomaly here:
For some reason I tried the Smart Dial skizz0 mentioned, but for some reason it does not show the contact details when I type them, but when dial them it shows correctly
Eg:
what shown in contact:
Home
(61) 3 1234-5678
so I try smart type in smart dial:
12345678
during smart dial typing, no result shown
BUT
when I dial them, after a while it shows "HOME"
Weird isn't it...
for my opinion this "hyphen" method in contact get upside and downside:
upside ==> we can read it easily
downside ==> for some reason the program confused to recognise them...
hi,
i know this software exist but am not sure what the software is called.
By basically, inputting the destination numbers say (the first 4 or 5 numbers) it will bring back the names on your list, the more numbers you input the narrower the search becomes. Almost like the SMS texting function.
I need to search for contact names instead of ringing the entire number first.
cheers,
james
The default IntelliDialer does that.
yes there is a software...
Hello jimjamz!
Simply use the search funktion of your pocket pc... type in as many numbers as you want and then search. You will find the contact, the number belongs to...

Hi,
can someone help med to find the place where i switch on the "search names in contact list" when im go to sms or dialer. I know i saw it once but cant remember.
It was so easy to just write the name in the dialer and the contact just popup.. same in the sms function.
/MP
all people
click on "all people" there is search function right on top(with a magnifying glass) to search for contacts, from where you can send call, sms, email so on
or simply type the contacts name in the "to" field of new sms you will get their contact number
if that did not help please be more specific in your request
no , not that kind of search. But it was a good tips.
When go into "New SMS", the coursor start at "TO:" from there i can( or could) i start typing names and it find matchings from the phonebook. Or when i got the dailer up, i did'nt need to know the number, i just start to type the name and it find matching names from the phone book.
I know that i saw it somewhere in the settings, but cant find it again. Or have Dutty Rom not that function maybe.
/M
not sure it works like that in SMS but if you start to type a name then use menue "check names" option it will list all that match.
in phone dialler it seems to check the list automatically but i think it is just the recently dialled numbers?
Yes, you found it, so simple.. wonder how i get the "Check Name" to be check all the time, not only for that sms.
Normally, it should automatically check Names if you begin typing in the "TO:" field.
Or am I wrong?
not on my Dutty 3.9 turbo. I know that on the original rom it was like that.
Weird, my 3.8 Dutty does still have this feature....
Sorry I can't help you
Hi
Have everybody experienced that the contacts shown in the list when typing a name in "to:" are the ones after what you type?
Ex.
I type "Kristian" and there is only one Kristian in my contacts, but what is shown in the list is "Lars" which is the contact just after "Kristian" in the list.
Hope you understand my problem, which first occurred after i upgraded the rom to the I8700XXJK1 firmware. I would like a solution as this behavior is quite annoying.
Best regards Kristian Hagsted
No sorry, my phone always shows the contacts that fit to the entered letters.
For example, if I enter "mark" then the phone predicts "Mark" and "Markus", but if I type "marku" or "markus" then there is only the one "Markus" predicted.
