Hi there,
On the HTC main menu bar, the one you slide horizontally, there is a shortcut to the HTC contacts program.
I don´t like this program since I can´t have a grouping of contacts per company which the built-in contacts program have.
So I was wondering how I can change the shortcut on the HTC menu to the built in contacts program instead?
I checked on other forums and the reply was that it probably can´t be done, maybe it can be done with a registry hack. Any suggestions?
Thanks for your help ...
You can't change the Manila default program to show another program in the contacts tab.
One solution would be to set one of your soft keys or a hardware button to point to the contact program of your choice.
Also some contact programs like Resco CM can be set as your default program, but that just means it will open when you press All Contacts in the contacts tab.

I am using Pocket Informant on my Cingular 8125 and the list box that is supposed to contain a list of available ringtones to assign to a specific Contact is empty on half the contacts. Some contacts have the ringtones list and on some it is blank. I can not figure out a difference between the contacts that would cause this. Anyone else have this problem and figure out a solution?
If you select a contact, and select edit, @ the top of the screen, is an option 'Add Field To Editor'. Select this, then select Ring Tone. Now, at the bottom of the screen is the available field! Unfortunately, you have to do this for every contact you wish to have other than the default ring tone...
Hope this helps!
I did that. The problem is that the ringtone list is empty on about half the contacts - and I can not figure out why.
Hey guys, I am using the Pocket Informant as well, and I have a problem I wanted to see if either one of you figured it out. I cant get the calendar to link to my left softkey on my 8125? I see some posts about it around, but I still have not figured it out. Also, I dont really like the contacts in Pocket Informant, but that links to the Right Softkey, I would like it to use the normal contacts, as opposed to pocket informants. So basically do either of you guys know how to change the links to the softkeys.
Thanks

Simply change it from Calendar.exe to Calendar.lnk and that should fix it.
I have searched the forum and cannot figure this out.. I am able to remap my softkeys to launch PocketCM instead of the built-in Contact app for wm6 on my Sprint Touch.
Does anyone know how to override the defaults so that anytime a notification is recieved for a new txt message, missed call, ect - it will only launch PocketCM instead of the built-in wm6 apps? Also, if I were to press on the icons in the wm6 today page for message/notification/missed call, can i have it launch PocketCm instead of the built-ins?
Please advise. Thank you,

Did you use CAB or ZIP to install?
Obviously, you can disable the new SMS notifications in WM and set Pocket CM to come to the front instead.
You can also set PocketCM to be your default WM Contacts App if you use the CAB installation method. This will ensure that any icons previously mapped to WM Contacts will redirect to PocketCM instead
As for calls, you will automatically be diverted to the WM Call history list. I don't think there is a way around that one. However, its worth trying Vito FunContact just to check whether thay have managed to do it. If so, you could search the Registry for FunContact entries and see how they've done it.
I've always peferred to use Phone Dialler's keypad to search for a Contact by pressing a few alpha/numeric keys -
then I used press the contact that I'm looking for and select SMS or call mobile or home phone, or email.
With TouchFlo 3D's Phone Dialler HD, however, this is not practical as it AUTOMATICALLY DIALS THE CONTACT instead of OPENING IT to allow you to chose your contact option (as in WM dialler).
I don't want to go back to WM6 Dialler because I like everything else but -
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO CHANGE IT FROM AUTO DIAL (selected contact) TO AUTO OPEN CONTACT?
Maybe there's a registry setting that can be changed?
PS. I'd also LOVE to be able to make the SCREEN FONT for SMS's in the TouchFlo 3D MESSAGES Tab, any Ideas?

Mun Zoom was invented for Diamond and consists of a + and - magnifying glass icons. Never really worked properly on Diamond and doesn't work properly on HD.

Yeah, this is an issue that has been discussed here before and as far as I know, there is no ideal solution for it. At least no one here has found any.
The only suggestion I have is to slide over (rather than tapping) the contact name when in the caller ID screen. This of course flips through the various phone entries for the given contact. However, it also means that it selects that contact without calling. Once selected, you have to press Menu (bottom right) and then "open contact". This is the same as opening your contacts list and tapping on a contact.
By the way, once you are in that screen, tapping on a number will initiate a call (or sms depending on what you tap), and tapping on the name of the contact (or picture) will open the contact file for you to edit it.
Like I said, caller ID screen is not ideal, but my suggestion might be a good enough "work around" for you. If you have a lot of contacts in your contact list, then my suggestion is faster than entering the contact list and finding that particular contact.
As far as your sms screen question - sorry, I don't know how.
Hi all
Sometimes when I touch near the bottom of my screen (to delete a text or choose a menu in IE etc...) the bloody HTC contacts program launches (the one where you can assign pics to people etc...) I don't use it and want it to stop appearing. Anyone know how to disable it?
Thanks in advance
Anyone????
for windows mobile on the htc snap/maple... im wondering if there is a registry edit or other trick to make the Send button from the home screen show only the call log without contacts. after pressing it, you can select calls or calls and contacts from the menu but it never remembers this, so im wondering if i can change the default behavior. i find the contacts kind of redundant because they are only one button away from the home screen anyway. thanks in advance!
