A few weeks ago, my S100 started doing some really annoying tricks:
1) When I plug or unplug the charged it turns completely off and I have to push the power button and then it starts the booting process. Any ideas why? I got no extra software installed. Sometimes does that too when I plug the USB cable.
2) Now it refuses to show the sender's NAME when I receive an SMS. It only shows the number in international format (i.e.: +30 xxxxxxxxxxx, +32 xxxxxxxxxxx, etc). Now THAT'S annoying!!! And those numbers ARE in my contacts. It used to show the name. Now only the number..
Do you have any of these problems too?
Hmm. It's interesting that I have the same (second) problem, but on the "sent messages" folder. It lists numbers, not names, though they're in the phone book. My inbox folder works just fine.
On the other hand, reading this forum I see that there are lots of bugs in this device, ours is not one of the worst types. Some fellows even had to disassemble their Magicians to get good sounds etc. It's a bit annoying, I am little bit disappointed though I've been having my Magician only for a few days...
So, if anyone out there has a fix to the sms problem is welcome!
I've found the solution, here on this forum.
When you tap To:, you should start to type in the name and then (after typing a few letters) select the right one from the popup list that appears. This way, you will find names in the sent items folder, not just numbers.
Ive seen this question asked several times during my search for the answer, but no one ever replies to it....
Since the upgrade WM6, the Reciepients name in the "to:" field within any new message will not auto complete...
I always have to fill in the number, or their name and select 'Check Names' in the menu and then choose my selection.
PLEASE will SOMEONE tell me the reg entry i need to alter, or the cab i need to (re)install to fix this chink in my BA's armour....
Many thanks in advance.

No one has answered this question cause probably no one has faced this problem after upgrading to WM6. I just now checked by creating new Text Message and when I hit at "To:", it opens up my contact list and I can pickup any number.
I know others have faced this problem 'cos several other people are asking for soloutions to the exact same issue, they just never recieved replies...
Also, yes mine works when i click the 'to:' button aswell, but it should predict the recipients name as you type it.
there are users on several platforms, not just BA, running WM6 roms with this exact same issue...
C'mon guys, PLEASE HELP!
Dickie
May be I dont understand your question!!
When I type "a" in the space, list of all names starting with 'a' opens up and gets shorter and shorter as I type more letters. What else do you expect it to do?

This is EXACTLY whats not working! this 'auto complete' function has stopped since the WM6 upgrade...
hey, i got the same issue also..
when i typed "A" in the recipient it dont auto complete with "a" contacts.
my solution is :-> type "a+space" then delete the space, the auto complete will come out with the "a" contact listings. hope it helps.. =D
I have always found it faster just to click on the to button and let that do the auto complete. I seem to always select the wrong contact with the auto complete in the actual message.
do you have other then English language support on your device?
I have Hebrew support, I have to type the first two letters and delete the last one -> then it source according to the first letter
SMS works fine for me but MMS doesn't do the predictive contact call up and it is a pain in the arse.
Not a big problem but a pain in the arse nonetheless.
did you install "htc dual keyboard + keypad". I installed this app, and the predictive contact search stop working on sms. After uninstallation, its working again.
as with mms, i dont think it has ever worked since 2003SE. you have to click "to:" and search within the contact list.
the answer to your proplem is :
this is because the contact are not stored in your PIM database, but on the SIM card, that is why they are not predicable but they can be accessed by pressing on the "to" button.
solution: use sim manager to save contacts to the phonebook
hope u find it helpful
that is what i was gonna say "life owner" you are correct according to the problem i had

i will NOT do that if i were you...
that would only make the predictive list double the names you have...
(Or you could delete the contacts in your simcard after you copied)
if you played with the options
in the Settings->Input->Word Completion.
i would suggest a hard reset
if you did the above and no changes was reflected.

thank god, someone agreeing this issues does exist and its not something i'm doing...
Although, typing a space after the first character, then deleting it does not bring up the auto complete.
But.. i did install "htc dual keyboard + keypad", which i will remove now to see if functionality returns..
Also.. my contacts are stored on the Phone, not the sim.
Cheers for your suggestions guys, i'll keep u updated...
Dickie
UPDATE - Removed "htc dual keyboard + keypad" and functionality is restored.... what exactly does this program do? if its supposed to skin the touch screen keyboard, it never worked for me anyway...
Cheers Guys!

"htc dual keyboard + keypad" give you big numbers and letters button (the idea is to allow you not to use stylus and use your thumb to type) AND it also give predictive english words feature.. and i guess it cannot co exist with the predictive contact feature of sms... i guess this is the most logical explanation... for me anyway
actually it's not an issue regarding auto-complete...
htc dual keyboard+keypad is filtering your input and displays it's own "one-liner" prediction and thus the default system Auto Word Completion doesnt kick in.
and it doesnt matter to the default auto-complete if it's in the phone or in the sim card... if you have two copies of one item... it will list double.
it's not an SMS problem... it's a program glitch(feature?). haha...
Hi I have the same problem.
i removed htc dual keyboard and its still not working!
do i need to enable some options some wherE?
Thanks
try to do what silver samurai suggested, the setting may have been changed:
start > settings > personal > input > word completion > place a tick mark on "suggest words when entering text"
I tried that and it didn't work.
Thanks
I have tried to search with no luck. My question is when i installed touchit 4.4 i do not have any of the pop up menu's IE when making a text and i start typing the persons name or a word it never pops up suggestions. With over 200 contacts i would like to have the short option to type in 3 letters or so and select the contact from the actual Sms screen. Another thing is when i goto create new (msg) i dont get the option to do MMS or SMS. Lastly off the top of my head when i am typing words i like the option with suggestions again. Can anybody either point me to the proper settings or registry keys to re-enable these features. Also i noticed when i put touch it on my phone all of my contacts are doubled now ? how can i fix this without manually deleting them all

1. I havent seached for a fix as far as typing input for SMS recipients, I have just gotten use to clicking menu and adding someone from my contacts instead of typing there name.
2. If you put messaging on your today screen, click on the no unread messages bar and it will take you to the messaging center to pick MMS,SMS, email account.
3. I did think the wings OEM text suggestion program was great, Ive gotten use to not using it with 4.4. Tho if you use the virtual keyboard the program is still enabled.
I dont know if any of this will be a fix for you, it is alil info. There might be things you have to get use to not having with Touch, but be glad you have more than 14mb of memory.
Also, for the duplicate contacts, I would just make sure all your numbers are embedded on your sim card, then select all from your contacts and delete them. Open SIM manager from programs, select all from menu and save all to contacts.
Yes true maybe someone can find the registry keys to enable it, Speaking of registry besides the lame attempt at wiki of a good solid registry hack,tweak mod guide does anybody have a better site while i was Out of town visiting over xmas i stumbled accross a site that offered so many registry hacks but i didnt book mark it
Also a few more questions i get really mad that the Wing does not allow lets say .mid .gif etc files in MMS's is there a way to disable automatic file deletion in mms? sorry if this doesnt make much sense just worked 14 hrs.
you can just write your contact's name (or part of their name) and then go to "menu" and click on "check names".
This should be easier than going through your contacts.

typing a name and then going thru menu is more steps than just clicking add recipent and clicking the contact you want.
I dont know any other registry sites.
Good Luck
I purchased a HTC touch HD (blackstone) yesterday. the phone has been unlocked and the version is: R: 1.09.25.14, G: 52.49a.25.26w, D: 1.19.255581. and the ROM version showed in os is MicNeo CHS.
The phone is good, however, if I create a new contact, the contact can't be deleted or be edited any more after it has been stored. Each time when I choose "delete" from the menu, a dialog is poped up to ask me to confirm the deletion, but it will never success.
Is there anyone can help me?
In your list of contacts, when you tap on a contact, you see their name with picture, then the different numbers or addresses for that contact etc.
If you tap on the name/picture, it should open the contact file to edit it. Does that work for you?
I don't know why it is not deleting it when you tap "delete contact".
it doesn't work, no image is shown and when I tape it, I can only see an blank screen labeled as "summary".
Hm, I don't know why that is. Since nobody else has posted any other options to solve this, maybe to can hard reset the phone and see if that fixes it.
I made the switch from an iPhone to the N1 recently..alot of my friends also have iphones so under their contact info's for phone type i would select "iphone" instead of mobile/home/work etc..Well consequently, those contacts don't appear in the search when I try to create a new message and search their name. So then when I attempt to change the phone type from iphone>mobile, it will change (and the contacts appear in a messaging search) but then will revert back to iphone shortly and again, do not appear..
Has anyone else experienced this or know of another way to edit a contact?
Any help is appreciated..

Seems like you have your sms client set to show mobile numbers only. Go into settings and find that option and uncheck it.
