I was in a minor state of emergency earlier - where I had to send an MMS to a mate :x
This was my first time writing a MMS on the Vario (I had previously done so on the MDA Compact) so I was doing the usual....then it came down to entering the contacts...
Unlike sending a SMS message or email, the number of person does not come up as you type in the name. In fact, nothing comes up - and in the end, I had to copy the name onto a sheet of paper and then manually type it down into the Vario(!)
Am I missing something here? Your help is much appreciated
just click on the send icon near wher u type the name this will take u to the contacts list.

On mine it's the word 'To:', and don't worry you're not alone - I did exactly the same thing and eventually had to read the manual :shock:
Update the ROM to the latest version and it will automatically bring up there number when you type the name in

which exactly ROM version do you mean? with mine it does not work, although it's latest one from i-mate.
Sending MMS's
When I type the name in - it actually thinks i'm typing in the text part as it attempts to suggest words - pretty useless for contacts !!
BUT......
Actually click the word "To:" .. it doesn't look like a shortcut or anything - and it actually opens contacts....
yes - RTFM really does work !
On my BlueAngel (2003SE) - it correctly shows contacts when typing in the "To:" field...

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
Does anyone know if you can send a text message to a contact's secondary number?
i.e. if I had a contact
Mr A
Mobile: 123456789 (default)
Mobile2: 1232465933
Is there a way that I can select Mobile2 in the text message 'To' field. Currently it will only come up with the default number.
I know that you can send a message via the contacts screen.

I gave someone in my contacts list a faux secondary mobile number and when I start typing their name the Auto Complete finds both mobile numbers just fine. Am I understanding you correctly?
you can text that person through the Contacts app instead of Messaging.
Open Contacts then go to the specific contact then hit the secondery phone no.

Same here, just changed a contact so that two numbers were marked "mobile" and went to messaging, typed the first two letters of the contact name and both mobile numbers showed up for selection.
Thanks for the info, I was being a bit dumb, or rather didn't realise that texting only picks up contacts marked as mobile. Some of mine were marked as home etc...
Thanks again!
Hello,
Since this is the only place that has this problem raised on the web, I"m asking for your help. I have a htc rhodium, touch pro2.
I have the same problem that the other guy had but worse. I cannot change the secondary number to mobile. I have options for: home, company, work, car.. etc?
I cannot do it even via the contacts screen.
How do I resolve this?... :?
Please help anyone?
P.S. I know this is not the right subforum, but since it is discussed here....

Yes, many people have dual phones, but only one of them is meant for business.

not necessarily true..
I use both my phones for business. I divide contacts based on importance. But this is not a business discussion
and this problem means that I can send SMS to only one of those numbers, or make a new contact with a second number... time consuming
strange, very strange behaviour.
My very old nokia did not have this problem..
I really hope android gets ported to the rhodium, windows let me down again...
cheers
on my new HD2 there is something strange: if I want to add a new contact or edit an old one I can do it, but some fields have disappeared!
For example: name, middle name, family name...all these fields gone: I only have one field "NAME"
Same for address details: before (WM 6.1) I could edit and input into fields like ZIP, City, Address...now there is a unique field called "Word Address"
It is NO MORE fine-divided into its fields
What am I missing?
Please suggest
Saulo866
I have tried to remedy by installing Pocket Informant 9...but it is so sloooow..sometimes freeze my whole device. So it is not a viable solution.
Thanks and waiting.
is this issue related to WM 6.5.3? Or just to HD2 devices?
Thanks
Saulo
use "start - contacts" to access the windows contacts list instead of the htc contacts and you will find all the fields as you remember them.
thanks Samuel
That is what I usually do...but still I cannot see the fields.
Would you be so kind to post a snapshot, so I can understand what I am doing wrong?
Additianlly my ROM is a barebone one, by freyberry, with almost no HTC application on it (almost basic Microsoft)
Thanks
Saulo
in the name field, look at the very right hand side there is a very small grey square, tap there and the complete name box opens.
oh and the field below name works the same.(you can see the two grey buttons in the image )
Dear Samuel
Now I understand: if I click on start outlook contacts the HTC version of contacts is triggered! not the MS version!
How can I do? Is there a registry hack?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Saulo
By the way, Samuel, what is that Keyboard that you are now using? It look nice.
Is it a good replacement to the standard keyboard? Does it have the ctrl-C (copy) function?
Thanks
Saulo
No more ideas?
Thanks and waiting
Saulo
hi. keyboard is swype. I like it, takes a little while to get used to but very nice when you do.
im afraid I can't really help with how to start contacts, im using a custom rom and when i click start I see an icon called contacts, and I click that and it gives me the widows contacts.
see the image, top right, the link i use.

Probably the "Owner" card when you pull down the notification bar and go to quick setting.
Click the card twice, and click edit.
Go into the People app, make sure there is a contact containing your information. Pull down the notification shade and select the quick settings icon (or pull down using two fingers). Press and hold the owner square (top left) and select the contact card.

im sure u wud have used a particular gmail id for logging in
create a contact with that email alone and tthen check that space..
i have my logging email as the owner
pls see if it helps..
if so let me know:victory:
Are you syncing contacts with Google? On my owner square it has my Google + profile picture. Maybe try setting up an account picture through that. I never even seen "owner" on my square, just my picture.

Yes you are right, I use a particular email for logging in.
"create a contact with that email alone", I didn't get you.
creating a contact with the email that I used to logging in, is it?
Doesn't it ask you to fill out your name when you first start up the phone?
That's where I see my owner info from...

Hi,
Actually my cousin bought it for me from the US. And he started the mobile first.
So it didn't asked me for the "Owner" set up.

After unrooting & setting my Nexus 4 backup, I skipped the part in the setup to add a owner of the device. After awhile trying different things, I managed to get my owner info back on the phone.
All you need to do is add your info to the People app, Then it will show in the notification area that you are the owner. Or you could sign into Google+ & your owner info will sync back to your phone.
