Hi,
Any one experiences the following problem on their HTC Leo/HD2?
- When I use the dialpad to find a contact I can use any part of the name and it will be displayed.
e.g Name in contact : Tan Ah Bee (First Name)
So I can key in either "Tan" or "Ah" or "Bee" it will be found.
- But when sending a SMS message, I can only locate the contact if I type "Tan". Keying in "Ah" or "Bee" will not find the contact.
Seems like in SMS mode, it searches the contact name in sequence......
Anyone???

Hi
I tried to search in magician forum about this, but it seems not find any similar to this
Have you ever have a feeling to find name by phone number? as for instance I got miss call from 123 111 number but does not show any name in my missed call list
so I open up contacts, but unfortunately, it only allows me to search by name not by phone number...
any idea how to do this?
THanks so much

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use the "Find" from Programs, type phone number, select "Contact" and voila!
Ow... I didn't realize that this possible as last time I tried them but resulting nothing (probably the number is not exist there and I assumed this function is not working)
Sorry questioning this question as I should read my manual more
you have to put number exactly as it writen in contacts... +38039....
and name will appears
Yea, I just notice that you need to enter exact number (with / without space) otherwise will not show anything... totally a bad search function...!!!
you can use Smart Dial: push green key then, just digit 5-6 cifres of the number and the pda will search all the contacts that contains the 5-6 cifres sequence.

Try the Standard Search option and you can find the contacts by numbers. Cheers
Hm... found anomaly here:
For some reason I tried the Smart Dial skizz0 mentioned, but for some reason it does not show the contact details when I type them, but when dial them it shows correctly
Eg:
what shown in contact:
Home
(61) 3 1234-5678
so I try smart type in smart dial:
12345678
during smart dial typing, no result shown
BUT
when I dial them, after a while it shows "HOME"
Weird isn't it...
for my opinion this "hyphen" method in contact get upside and downside:
upside ==> we can read it easily
downside ==> for some reason the program confused to recognise them...
I tried searching thorugh the xda forums for an original HTC Home Plugin thread, but couldn't locate one, so i'll start here and maybe someone can forward me to the right place.
I have contacts in my contact list that just have a Company name, and not a first or last name.
The problem is that these contacts cannot be added to the quick dial area of the HTC Home Plugin, it will allow you to select it, but it doesn't show up, and you are unable to click that entry to dial the number. However, if you go edit that contact and add a first / last name, then it magically shows up on the quick dial.
Does anyone know of a bug fix / workaround for getting contacts with just a company name to show up? (And please don't say add a first / last name, that's obviously a solution, but not a fix.)
Any way to also have the phone number displayed on the screen as well when selecting a contact?
If you have multiple numbers on a contact, it just lists the contact 3 times.
J.D.
put the company name in the name field and then change file as: to the company name and it won't change it to look like a name
Hi,
can someone help med to find the place where i switch on the "search names in contact list" when im go to sms or dialer. I know i saw it once but cant remember.
It was so easy to just write the name in the dialer and the contact just popup.. same in the sms function.
/MP
all people
click on "all people" there is search function right on top(with a magnifying glass) to search for contacts, from where you can send call, sms, email so on
or simply type the contacts name in the "to" field of new sms you will get their contact number
if that did not help please be more specific in your request
no , not that kind of search. But it was a good tips.
When go into "New SMS", the coursor start at "TO:" from there i can( or could) i start typing names and it find matchings from the phonebook. Or when i got the dailer up, i did'nt need to know the number, i just start to type the name and it find matching names from the phone book.
I know that i saw it somewhere in the settings, but cant find it again. Or have Dutty Rom not that function maybe.
/M
not sure it works like that in SMS but if you start to type a name then use menue "check names" option it will list all that match.
in phone dialler it seems to check the list automatically but i think it is just the recently dialled numbers?
Yes, you found it, so simple.. wonder how i get the "Check Name" to be check all the time, not only for that sms.
Normally, it should automatically check Names if you begin typing in the "TO:" field.
Or am I wrong?
not on my Dutty 3.9 turbo. I know that on the original rom it was like that.
Weird, my 3.8 Dutty does still have this feature....
Sorry I can't help you
Hi.
I've got problem with displaing contacts from outlook during incoming call. I'm using contacts with "save as" option: NAME, SURNAME (COMPANY NAME) - somtimes it's quite long string . It is usefull when some times I don't remenber name of gay, but remenber name of his company. For some reason phone is displaying centerized part of NAME, SURNAME (COMPANY NAME) cutting start and end of contact - so I don't know who is calling
Is there any possibility to change it
Thanks in adwance
Hi
Have everybody experienced that the contacts shown in the list when typing a name in "to:" are the ones after what you type?
Ex.
I type "Kristian" and there is only one Kristian in my contacts, but what is shown in the list is "Lars" which is the contact just after "Kristian" in the list.
Hope you understand my problem, which first occurred after i upgraded the rom to the I8700XXJK1 firmware. I would like a solution as this behavior is quite annoying.
Best regards Kristian Hagsted
No sorry, my phone always shows the contacts that fit to the entered letters.
For example, if I enter "mark" then the phone predicts "Mark" and "Markus", but if I type "marku" or "markus" then there is only the one "Markus" predicted.
