I chose a contact as a shortcut. If a contact has multiple numbers, when I click on the shorcut and click on the phone icon, it will ask "remember this choice" for default. Well... I want my calls to this person to have a default number, but I want the default SMS number to be different, but it doesn't do it. When I choose a default CALL number, it uses that as the SMS default number.
Anyone notice this? Anyone know a fix? Thanks

Have you tried going to the individuals contact and long pressing the desired numbers to set them as the defaults that you want?

You can't do that from the contact shortcut (I created a shortcut on my phone's desktop by holding down on the desktop, then choosing shortcut, then choose contact; that's where the I'm having the problem)
Once I choose a default in the contact's shortcut (on the desktop), it uses tha default for both CALLS and SMS. In my situation, I want the Home phone number to be default for calls, but the cell phone number for SMS.

I just figured out how to set mp3 ringtones for the Sony Xperia... but I'm wondering if there is a way to set a different ringtone for each contact in my phonebook ??
Yes open the contact and scroll to the bottom
I opened up the contact, and it shows their name , call, and send text message only. When choose "edit" to edit the contact, I can only change their name and number. Can you be more specific please ?
When I edit a contact I have 20+ things I can change about that one person. One of those is 'Ring tone'. Might be some of the SPB software adding it but I doubt it....
Ohh, ok thanks! I found it in the SPB panel, but it's not there in the windows mobile contact for some reason..
I think it depends on how you have the contact saved. The option to add a ringtone to a contact might only be available if the contact is saved to the phone, not the sim card.
search for vippimringtone

On my X1, this is how i get to do it.
1) open contacts from start menu.
2) select the contact to edit. You should now see a screen with options like call mobile, call home, etc
3) click onthe name of the contact, and you should now see a screen with a lot of options for that contact.
4) scroll down until you see the option for ring tone. now click in the text space for the ringtone drop down selection box.
Hope this helps. There are also a lot of other useful options to be found on that screen, like setting pictures for contact. birthday reminders, etc.
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?

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.
I have another problem with my phone.
It doesn't show sms senders name. The sender IS in my contact list, but still, it doesn't show.
Some registry tweak or what?
I tried searching, but "name" and "no" are not included in the search

by default no, it works automatically, maybe you have the contacts list with spaces in the number ?!
related question:
I get an sms from a person not in my contacts list, i select to add it and set a name, but in Pocket Outlook i keep seeing just the number... is this correct? in my K800i once i add the contact in the address book i see name in sms list.
I have absolutely no spaces in numbers.
BUMP
Still need help.
When going to the phone dialler, you can tap out the name of a person but it does not give you the option to call any of the associated numbers. Seems to only come up with one number (probably the first in the list).
This was coming up wrong for a few people I call a lot so I set their default number. I now don't know how to deselect the default number (so there is no default). I want to do this because when I add a short cut to a person on the desktop, it will give a drop down list of numbers to call if there is no default but dials the default number automatically if it does have a default number.
Seems really bizarre. I would have expected:
Being able to call any number when entering a name from the dialler (with the default number first if it has been set).
Being able to call any number from a person short cut regardless whether a default number is set or not.
Being able to remove a default number from a contact.
Any help or workarounds will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
I am on JM2 and I don't have this problem. Whenever I start typing the name of a contact, it appears, I press on it and all the number are there to choose...
That's promising. Are you able to confirm if there is a way to remove the default number selection from a contact once it has been set? Thanks.
has anyone had any issues with assigning a different ringtone to a specific caller from your people list? i know we can't do custom ringtones yet, but i'm just trying to set up different ringtones to differentiate from callers and everytime i assign one and hit save, it doesn't seem to take affect. whenever they call it rings whatever my default ringtone is.
any suggestions or similar cases?
I haven't had any issues with the ringtone not changing. Does it change and then revert back for you or just never change in the first place? Try rebooting the phone and seeing if you are still having an issue.

assign it to the mobile number or home number not the account.. i.e. go to the account edit the mobile number account or which ever number account you want to change the ring tone and select a ring tone.
