The contacts tab is annoying me, on the old touch dual I had you pressed a person and it phoned the number you had setup behind it. I've set up people on the Jade/Touch 3g and when I press the person all it shows is a list of their numbers rather than simply dialling the specific number I set it up as.
Am I missing something?
2) Press/touch name/phone logo (at bottom of picture) it will immediately dial the designated no (mobile or work or home)
2) press/touch the picture, list of nos, options for you to select (e.g. send sms)
It's all in the manual.

Been using my Jade for almost six months now and like jmrenshaw, I am also annoyed by that, didn't know that there's a simple answer to the problem, which is not really a problem
if only I bothered reading the manual, Thanks Azahidi
blinking heck, thanks for that azahidi!

Hi folks,
TIM Brasil send me ans SMS with all calls I've lost. useful when I flying, at arrival I saw who call me.
The problem is the SMS contain the caller number, time and date, so I need to search at Contacts to discover the caller name.
Someone know a piece of software able to look at phone number inside of SMS and scan the Contact to match it, showing the name of the contact?
Best regards
Any ideas?
Here in Italy vodafone sends a similar SMS but sets the sender name to the one who attemped to phone you
In this way the phone shows automatically the name (if it has been stored in contacts)
To quickly discover who's the owner you can do two things:
1) if the message contains "This number +xxyyyyyy tried to call you..." press the down key (the number should be selected by a square box) click and your phone should start dialling that number (doing a lookup in contacts and showing the name)
2) you can remember the first numbers (excluding the international prefix) press "red phone", "green phone" (to quickly start the phone application) and use the hermes' smartdialer to quick find who's the owner.
Try using SPB Diary...
Make sure your numbers are in the international format.

In fact this work, but is not exactly what I want, because after a airplane trip the SMS has 3 or 4 numbers. So I need to call/abort 3 for times... It's not elegant way.
thanks.

WM developer
Hi Guys,
I'm trying again... Is there a WM developer here who could develop a little plug in to do it?
I think is not complicated, but I don't know WM development to do it.
Of course this could sold to the community.
i had once a siemens sl45 and when i had a phone number in a sms it replaced it by the name in the phonebook... i so miss that feature..... i haven't seen it on other phones since then...
I'm not alone
Finally someone understood what I'm saying.
It's very useful this feature. I'm wondering if someone could develop this.
Anybody as a volunteer?
Maybe this is what you need?

Its work - It's great
Thanks Moe,
It's exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you.
Hope to make myself clear enough.
With previous phones (Kaiser, Cruise) when I was pressing and holding a contact in "Phone Dial Mode" I had the option of choosing which number to dial (cellular, home, office .. whatever phone number was inserted in the contact)
Now with the HD (Italian TIM ROM) when I press and hold the contact it just dials the number. To change which number to dial (from a specific contact) I have to "swipe" with the finger left or right: unfortunately doing so many times accidentaly the dial goes off.
Other annoying point is that it doesn't show the number, just the "field" (cellular, office, home)
Is there a way to change it and have it like the Kaiser/Cruise?
UP,
no one who would like the issue solved?
yes please

Not near my phone to try it.... but I'm pretty sure that
1. sliding your thumb from "left to right" or "right to left" on a particular contact.... causes the display to cycle through that contacts email addresses & numbers.
(This only works for contacts that have more than one number... which you can see by the little arrows on the little <m>, <h>, <txt>, <w>, <e> logo, which also serves to show if its a Home or Work number.)
2. Then tapping that contact calls them on the displayed number... but only if it's a phone number thats being displayed.
I think what may be catching you out is that rather than HOLD TO DISPLAY, we now have to SLIDE..... yet another change caused by touch flow, even though the screen doesn't lookvery 3D.

1) Yes I know; unfortunately 9 times out of 10 it doesn't change the number to be called , rather I dial the number that is there (the number that I do NOT want to dial)
More then that it does not show the number behind (for example, sometimes I remember some numbers of the phone to be called, not if it stored under Office or Office 2
For me is a real pain. I really want the previous behaviour: TAP AND HOLD that gives you all the available number.
Any way to have it on the HD?
Sorry but I searched and cannot find answers-
A few questions:
I have tmobile in the usa (oregon) with a black sony x1i
1) Issue- I am coming from a Sam BJ2- I use exch server for email, contacts, etc. When I set up my X1 with my exchange info- everything worked nicely-
But some of my contacts that are smsing me do not show their contact name only the #. I think it might be cause some have the 1 (XXX) and some dont have the 1. How can I fix this as I have 600 contacts?? Please help
I noticed that the phone wont dial a # without the 1 in front of it-
2) on my BJ2 - when I wanted to call, email or text someone- I would start typing their name and I would choose from the list as I am typing. I cant do that with the xperia- typing doesnt do anything- How do people quickly search for a contact???
3) Is there a seperate box that shows on the home screen when SMS's come in as opposed to 1 message box with a red #? I would like to see if its an email or sms.
Thx in advance
In regards to 1, have you tried selecting "United States" in the regional settings?
Yes I set it to USA english-
Also where is the battery indicator on the home screen??
Thx
1) thats a calling ID setting... there is nothing you can do about it except you go change the contact number and add or remove the 1 before the area code... the phone is just trying to match whatever the caller ID is to your contact list... if it is not the same it wont display it.... I have had that problem on my BJ2 too and I had to change all those contacts as well
2) I can do so by sliding out the keyboard and start typing the name and call... not sure if you are doing the samething or you are trying to get the soft keyboard out to type...
3) I have a sms or email notification showing up on the bottom of the screen whenever I receive them.... otherwise the sonyericsson panel have a option to display them I think
this is probably easy to fix or just an error on my part.
I'm using the official rom with some theme mods.
So when i go to the contact list, click on a contact and then click the "call mobile phone" entry for that contact, the option gets activated/grey background, just to get deactivated half a second later and it never actually dials the number (same with people in the favorites list)
The contacts are stored on the phone and copied over from my blackstone, so I know the numbers are all valid.
Anyone got any ideas? Any help would be appreciated
[edit]
oh and i can dial just fine when i hiz phone on the today screen, go to the menu and choose "open contact"
[edit2]
I just realized, when I'm on the contact page of a contact (where you see there phone numbers and so on), I can click Menu -> Show more information, which takes me to the "old" contact page (as it used to be in wm 6.1), where calling someone works as well.
So there are ways around this, it's just annoying having those 2 more presses just to call a number.
I have twice now gone through my contacts and set Mobile first, Home second, etc for several contacts. After my newest ROM flash, the order is all messed up again, even on the Google Contacts side of things.
Is there some feature I'm missing? Am I the only one that wants a predictable listing of phone numbers on my phone?
anyone? 10char
Someone must know...
I get very anoyed by the contact's numbers order.
In my country:
- the mobile numbers begin with 06...
- fixed line numbers depends of the town, but mostly are 011..., 021..., etc.
Now - it realy is a pain in the back to search for a person, and 99% of the time to scroll down to 2cond or third number to pick...
Even when I want to send a message - the same is needed, although in my country it is not possible to send a message to a fixed line number (I know in some countries it is possible).
Is there an app to choose the order of offered numbers to dial, send messages and similar?
Cheers
I found on another forum:
"If you do a long press on the office number, a menu will appear. From the menu, you can select "Make default number". This way, when you dial, it will automatically dial the office number."
But :
- it doesn't appy to message compose,
- it can be applyed to one number only - if someone have 2 mobile phones (personal and work) - it helps just 50%
- it has to be done person by person, and it is a pain...
- it doesn't apply to all the dialers (just to default one)
