Hi all
Question..
Can you view categories/groups instead of contacts?
When you have 200+ numbers instead of going through all the contacts by default is there a way that the categories/groups can be selected to find the number?
Is there any mod?
I know you can filter the contacts but would rather that the categories/groups are listed by default insteed of the contacts.

In WM Contacts you can sort by group adding them to Business, favs, holiday, htc favs etc.
Bruce,
Do you know a way to have WM remember which category you selected after reset? That is to have displayed contacts from just one selected category?
Thanks

I know that if you go into manila, after you have set up your company directory, you can select that company but I'm not sure how to get it to default to that automatically.

thx for your repy but i think you may have misread my question..
I want the categories to be displayed not the contacts.
This would make a contact easier to find
cheers
You can edit your homepage shortcutfrom this key:
HKLM/Software/HTC/Manila
HomeLSKPath = !"\Windows\manila.exe" --switchtopage Manila://people\browserlayer\?.page
HomeLSKText = Contacts

These just change the mapping of your soft keys to open your contacts tab.
Not what you were looking for, right?
Thats right.
What I would like is to view my categories within my contacts.
In others words when I select 'Contacts' my categories show (whether it shows the categories alone or combined with my contacts'
Similar to some of the mobile phones out there where you can categorize numbers and then just select the category to find the number you want to dial.
At the moment td2 you need to select contacts then filter the categories. Was trying to make the categories as my main selection instead of the contacts.
hope it makes sense...

I think your only option would be to find a contacts program that does this and assign it to a harware or soft key.
No way that I am aware of to do it within manila.
Appreciate the replies..
Would be a good feature to have.
If anyone knows of a app or mod that can do this I'm sure it would help out many users.
cheers

When i try to call somebody through SmartDialing it searches by LastName/FirstName is there a way or some registry hack where i can do it by FirstName/LastName......
isn't anybody facing any problem in this regard???
are u serious????
nobody is experiencing it????
is it only me???
.... is there a solution yet???
same problem
I have the same problem.
In Portugal, we call people by first name/last name.
Anybody knows how to fix it?
Regards
Marcus
I don't know what smart dialing you ppl are talking about but on my exec if i seach by name in contacts it gives both results - by first as well as last name.
If I use the keypad to key numbers in the dial mode then it searchs by number, firstname and lastname. So whats the issue about? Also the list of people is displayed wherein the matches for the firstname are displayed first and then the lastname. Yes the names are displayed in lastname-firstname format but that doesn't really make a difference does it? (the names are highlighted to the last character keyed in)
The only way to change the order from Last, First to First Last is via desktop Outlook. Go into Tools > Options > Contact Options and change the "Default Full Name order" and "Default File As order" options to what you wish.
However, the only way to change the existing contacts is to go into each within desktop Outlook and change the File As option.
Cheers

but isn't there a way or a registry hack to change the display to FirstName/LastName in smart dialing?

In contacts, press the contacts and it appears a new item in Menu in order to make first name, last name
Anyone know how to skip to a name in the middle of my phone book, instead of scrolling through all the names. I have a 8125.
Thanks

Er.. you should play around with your phone more
Assume yours is WM5 (maybe 2003 is the same, not sure)
(Method 1) The top section, you have a list of alphabets, just click on them to jump to the names that you are interested
(Method 2) If you click on the keyboard (or pen) on the bottom (center) bar, you will have your input method (e.g. the keyboard), simply punch in the name of the person you are interested in, and it will scan through all names and filter out the relavent ones for you.
or if you press and hold the scroll button for two full pages (eg through "A"), it should pop up with the letters of the alphabet B through to Z, this will give give you direct access to letter by letter.
combination of sim and phone memory
How can you make it so that the sim and phone memories stay in 1 alpabetical list rather then 2 separate list its quite annoying that they are split in 2.
move all sim to contacts, simple.
sim has no where near the functionality of contacts.
i have a question also mate

name first last name 2nd

thanks.

Use the CAB found in this thread:

Oh!! Is it possible to move all contacts from the SIM to the Memory contacts ? because I was adding each name from the SIM, I couldn't find a way to save them all at the same time. Please tell me how if it is possible.

There does not seem to be a option for this on the device, but i got around it by changing it in outlook on my PC then syncing.
BTW, does anyone know how to hide SIM contacts so they dont show up twice in contacts?

I tried that and it never goes to the letter I want. I also tried clicking on the group of letters at the top and it doesn't do anything. I don't want to have to go to the box and click on the letter i want to go to the name; I want to scroll through.
I am saving them to sim, does it need to be on memory for all these to work?

Did you know that it's not necessary to add fileascontact at all? All you have to do is in the contact's "Name" section just add a "Nickname" in the "Nickname" field. TADA!

Tried that, entering a new contact and an existing one, but all new contacts default to last, first. Nickname only drops in when viewing an idividual contact card. Let me know if I'm doing something wrong.
When i save a contact to my phone, i enter the name like so (Name Lastname)
but in the contact list it shows up as (Lastname,Name)
i don't like reading names backwards. so i enter names in reverse (Lastname Name) so now they show up in the contact list as (Name,Lastname)
my question is, how do i remove the comma (,) between name and last name? i don't like it because now my contacts are like (James,Smith) instead of (James Smith)
EDIT::
Phone is an 8525, WM5.
without adding another software, you can enter name_lastname, NameLastname, etc...

when you edit a contact, change the dropdown under 'file as' to change what the contact is displayed as.
It defaults to lastname, firstname, but I've got mine as "firstname lastname" for all my contacts.
You will need to do it for every one individually though.
I figured out how to fix it, thanks for your thoughts guys..but here's how you do it
Enter the name as you want to see it (John Doe)
and just place the comma at the end (John Doe,)
and now the name will show up as "John Doe" in the contacts list, with NO comma.

but you screw things up with outlook contacts if you do that coz it saves everything as a lastname...
I don't use outlook.
Look at this.. i had the same problem...

Hi, if I start the new SMS application and I then click on the keypad letters to add a contact the names that pop up are not shown alphabetically.
For example if I press 'G' to add Gary the first name that shows on the small grey bar is Gemma, although I have 5 names that start with letters that come before Gemma alphabetically, like Gary !
So for example if I had a friend called AAA and one called AAB and one called AAC, when I press 'A' to add a name I get shown AAC first and not AAA.
Does that make sense?
Anyone any clues please it is really annoying me.
Yea, I would like to know how to list the first names first and the last names last. Right now my phone book is in alphabetical order by last name. I would like it to be in order by first name.
I simply swapped the fields when inputting contacts...
when you click on a contact and than press edit you can change the option to archiv. ass
there you can change to save first name first. i would be much easier if there was a program that automaticly changes this.

sounds like a pain if you already have several hundred contacts in the phone backwards.
I have this issue too and it's synched with Google Contacts... I don't want to have to modify the first name into the last name, I want to modify how it is viewed...
I downloaded a program called 'contact changer' that sets the 'archive as' field in the first-last name order
if you create a new contact you should manually put the archive as in the correct order

tested and synched with oultook 2007 with no problems.

I tried this app but its only a manual fix...like i said above everytime I resync it goes back to last name first.
Is there anytype of app/ cab or registry hack that makes it first name first by default?
