Increase N° of favourite contacts - HD2 General

Hi, two questions !
Is there a trick to increase the number of favourite contacts in the contact tab, as it is done for the main tab or the links in internet tab.
Second, in the contacts when you go to the group tab, it only shows the 100 first contacts of the group but does not go further.
Is there a registery key to tweak this ?
Thx

not so sure about the contacts. there are other threads about asking the same.
on the group front. there is a tweak but it's rehedit time look in software htc manila. sorry to ne vague in the bath at the moment

Any way to sort contacts by first name?

I've got myself a new Vario, but I can't seem to get the contacts to sort by first name - is there any way to do this?
Sorry if this is a dumb question! I've been mucking about with it for ages!
Many thanks
Zakkz,
Welcome to the forum :wink:. Please read this introduction.

yes it is possible,
even different ways to get this:
you can use a little freeware application 'File As First Last" that will be included in the default contacts applications. It allows you to save the contact by "firstname lastname" 'or even by company etc. The application can be found on pocketpcfreewares.com: http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=828
you could also change the contact settings on your desktop...within the Outlook contact, you can change the setting 'save contact as', there you can chose to use "firstname lastname"
yet another way to solve this problem is to use another application for your contacts. Pocket Informant is really very good! there you can easily chose to sort the contacts by "firstname lastname"...you can also chose to see the contact pictures in the list of contacts, which is really great I think!
and you've got many many other options and settings to change the calendar/contacts/tasks views...also a really great search function within Pocket Informant...try it for yourself...
CIAO!

Contacts and People Tab - Am I being Stupid?

Ok I have put all my contacts in under the contacts part, so what is the people tab in Touchflo 3D for? It doesn't seem to relate at all with my contacts?? Can I add contact details to this tab from my contacts list?
Sorry if this is a stupid and obvious question.
On my Wife's Diamond the People Tab is for your "favourite" contacts, so I seem to remember you have to add them from your Contact List into the People Tab manually.
I haven't get my HD yet, so I can't confirm - sorry.
yeah its for your favorite contacts and sorry but you need to add them manually
I did the same for my contacts but only for the people I care about enough to call....no sense in adding everybody only to scroll through everyone to call my wife

Additional Phonebook

Hi,
my Sister has the HTC Diamond, and since she has her own Business she wanted me to ask if there was any Way to have a 2nd Phonebook, or Contactlist?
She basically wants to seperate her personal Contacts from her Business Contacts.
Or are there any Settings to sort the Contacts by Groups?
Thanks for any Help, Answers, Solutions.
There's a Filter By option which will allow you to filter your contacts by various categories. You just need to assign the contacts to individual categories for it to work as desired.
When you do a Filter By, it will retain your last selection, so if you Filter By business (or something), it will remain filtered by business until you change it. Not sure if a SR will change it back.

HOw does she assign the different Groups?
DOes she do that by editing each Contact or does she select a Group somewhere and sets a checkmark in front of the Contacts she wants in the Category?
Thanks for any Answers

Will that work with no Problems without changing Registry?
Cuz she dont wanna go to deep into her Diamond due to the Fact that she might send it in soon anyways due to high Tempratures by Use and Charge (which is normal for the Diamond but not understandable for my SiS)
she can use outlook for editing the contacts with multiplce categories even pictures and just sync everything over ActiveSync/WMDC

Haven't played with iContact, I ended up doing mine by editing each contact and placing them in the desired group.
Icontacts is very helpful for what you want. You can have as many list as you want.
In the first you can write names for your busines ,in the second your personal, in third all. More info, links and a skin i made , here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3261708#post3261708

problem with contact list in WM 6.5

Hello,
I run WM 6.5 (dutch) on my HTC HD2. With ActiveSync I'm able to import my email and contacts from my Gmail account. So far so good, but....
Contacts appear in my contact list with name first and then surename. It's -as far as I could find out - not possible to switch those two.
Example -
David Jones (Gmail) will appear as Jones David (WM)
How can I edit this sequence or has anyone else the same problem? Is there any software update that will solve this annoying problem?

Gtz Ed
I had exactly the same problem and I still do but I found a way of changing it but you have to do it for ever single one; Go to edit contact - scroll right to the bottom and press more and press file as and change it there. I was this permanent each time I create a contact but I dont know how. =(
or use this handy first-last cab.
dont forget that any new contacts will be saved last-first unless you change that right at the bottom of the edit contact page as in post 2

[Q] Facebook Profile Pics in Contacts

Hi
Does anyone know how I can use the facebook profiles pics as my contact pictures instead of the default ones i have?
This is easily possible in HTC phones.
but when i synced the facebook on my SGS2, it made 2 different contacts with 2 different pics, and if i try to join them, it keeps the default pic and ignores the facebook pic.
ANY IDEAS??
Please move this thread to Q&A section...
Did you try joining the other way round?
Separate the two entries... select the FB contact and then join the other entry to it
Already tried that... doesn't help.
GOT IT!
OK I got it...
open any contact that you have joined with all other available ones for the same> press menu> select "mark as default" > then just select your preferences... VOILA!!
Good One... Thanks !!
Haha I had the same issue but magically found the option too after mashing a few buttons here and there
