Hi,
i would like to know if there is any application that has the possibility to find programs just by tapping the first letters of the program's name.
For example when i tap "ca" it will display Calendar and Camera.
And thank you for you help.

Hello,
I dont know if it's just me or if anyone else here has a similar problem.
Apparently the contacts page has very small alphabets in the top horizontal menu, which makes it very difficult to read when I am multitasking 2 or 3 jobs at the same time.
Is there a software which has larger alphabets or can I increase the size of the font in the registry?
I do understand that holding down the cursors skips throught the alphabets fast but I need something that has an instant access to the contact list. I have more than 1500 contacts and searching them with my thumb besomes a pain.
Any suggestions will be welcome.
Thanks.

Did you notice that you can switch through the categories by pressing the contacts button several times? Provided that you maintain categories with your contacts though.

You can also keep the "down button" pressed down for a few seconds, and youll get an option to scroll through the alphabet.
I never use the letters at the top anymore.
Hello rohseq, I think maybe you can try this application Inesoft Address Book instead of the original contacts. This application will provide to you with much bigger alphabets at the bottom.
Thanks a lot seasky. I will try it. Looks very much like something I need.

Guys
What are the softkey settings for the Phone Dialer and Contacts? Basically, I want the left softkey to be the phone dialer and the right one to be the contacts on the today screen.
How do I do this using the SoftKey applet?

Start reading this from post seven...
Please tell me again how does that help me .. I have already downloaded and installed this app as specified in this thread ..
But I cant find the location to the phone dialer and contact programs .. So, I am not able to set them up correctly ..
Phone dialer is cprog.exe in windows.
Contacts is "poutlook contacts".
Just find the appopriate shortcuts in your \windows\startmenu and examine the existing shortcuts.

Thanks Vijay. That's exactly what I was looking for .. Why couldnt rename it to something simple ..
Another stupid question .. How do I examine the shortcuts?
Use gsfinder/resco/total command and choose to view properties, noramlly by press and hold on filename.
Otherwise drop it into notepad!

Uhm, am I missing something? Why would you want to map the dialer under the left softkey? When you press the green phone key (next to the softkey) it will launch the dialer already.
Because it is much easier for one-handed operation .. it's difficult to reach down and click the green phone key .. with just one hand ..
I used to have this application named "Revamp Softkeys"
I've searched and cannot find it.
Anybody have it?
not sure if this is the same program, but this one lets you assign programs to the left and right softkeys on today screen.
That's it
Thanks!!
I used Soft Key to change the shortcut @ the bottom of my screen i only wanted to change Calendar to New SMS, But when i started the Program it made me change both soft keys & Contacts is not in the list. Now i have New SMS & anything but Contacts.
Any body else had this problem? or does anyone have a fix for this????
Funny enough even if i navigate :
Start
Settings
Menus
Contacts is not in that list either.......Weird......
I have attached screen shots to help.
Thanks....
Learn to use the registry. The keys you are looking for are in:
HKCU/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys
Key 112 is your left soft key, and key 113 is your right soft key. You just rename the, "Default" value to what you want to appear on the screen, and the, "Open" value to what you want to launch (the Contacts.lnk is in the /Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder I believe).
Oh, and get Schaps Registry Editor before any of that. ; )

Thanks for the info you have given but im afraid it don't help cause the contacts.ink or even contacts.exe is nowhere to be found on my device not even in the windows folder....
I have attached a screen shot for you to see.
Thanks again.
And by the way i use PHM Registry Editor.....
Do you already have "Contacts" in your start menu? On my phone, I have Contacts in my start menu, and it is no longer in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs but it is listed in Windows/Start Menu. I think it moves the .lnk over when it's active in the start menu. Just a thought.
I mean, it has to be on the phone somewhere. Although I can't seem to locate it in Windows either...kind of makes me wonder where the phone is pulling it from when I select it...hmm...
No it's not in my start menu, proof is in 1 of the attachments in my1st post.
Last nite i installed PocketCM and used soft key to choose the shortcut to it.
Now i have what i originally wanted
Left Shortcut:......New SMS
Right Shortcut:....Contacts (through PocketCM)
Sorted.........
Screen Shot Attached
Yeah, I use iContact v0.6. I'd love to use PocketCM if it didn't try and do so much more than just contacts. It's refusal to stop trying to handle SMS is what makes me stay away from it.
Not to sure what you mean about PocketCM taking over SMS just switch it off in options if you dont like it.....
I use PocketCM V0.23 together with TouchPal 3.0 and the SMS option works well for me if anything better than the original cause it shows the whole conversation and it makes it easier for you to remember what you texting about he he he....
Try it.....
I've got a similar problem:
My right softkey was Calendar, some time ago it said "shortcut not found".
I set it again using Schap's Advanced Config, but it kept disappearing 2 or 3 times.
Now, the links for Calendar and Contacts have disappeared in the Start Menu!
I was able to copy the calendar.lnk from the \Windows directory, but there is no contacts.exe.
I do not use PocketCM, so that's not the root cause...
Try installing PocketCM and use that for a while to see it that shortcut dissapears aswell.....
Sounds like we have all got gremlins in our Hermes!!!!!!!! he he he

Hope im allowed to post that......
I have done a lot of searching for a program that can either replace the Favourites (aka People) tab on the TF3D interface but cant find anything? It would be lot easier/simpler to have a Tab where you can scroll through all your contacts fast and efficiently (like scrolling through all the weather countries/cities). the current contacts app is slow and doesnt respond nicely to finger sliding. Im not looking to put another application like icontact or something to improve this, but merely an interface for all the contacts on the TF3D. Just as a scrolling purpose with the option to:
1) Add a new contact
2) Sms/Phone/Email a contact
All the other details and nitty gritties I can do in the contacts app.
When in People screen in TF3D I just hit "all people" in bottom left and all my contacts come up. I have no problem scrolling through those using finger or I can use the stylus or the up and down key on the bottom of the phone. It is not slow at all. If I touch any contact up comes the contact details including phone numbers etc. Also when in that screen bottom left again has "new" that i can press and add a new contact.
Doesn't that work on your phone?
I also have massive problems with finger-scrolling on the Contacts list. No problem scrolling in "Programs" or Opera though.
Anyway, my solution was to enable D-pad scrolling in the Contacts list. Now I just tap the appropriate letter on the right side and then scroll w/ D-pad until I reach my destination. Works pretty well actually... I'm happy with the solution.
