The Contacts software in HTC used to have a "categories" tab that I can select to view contacts in specific categories. But after a while the tab is gone and now I can't even access the categories function altogether.
Can anybody help with this issue?
the tab that you have missing from the bottom bar is call history, not categories.
To get categories, , from the 'all' page click menu - filter and it lists all teh possible categories.
I don't know why your call history tab has vanished, very strange.

But I remember that I once had a tab which shows my categories, and when I click in one of the categories I have the options to send SMS to all the contacts in that category or to view individual contacts.
The call history tab is still there, in the HTC dialer. The picture I'm showing is the Contact List when I press the left soft button in the dialer.
Yep, thats the one, , , green send button - all contacts - slide to right end tab gives me call history.

to get categories i click menu - filter

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.
Hi, I would like to get rid of the "Call history" segment in the TF3D home tab.
Is this possible?
I have searched the forum and while there are hundreds of references to the call history I could not see a specific one about removing this section of the tab.
I expect some manipulation of the manila files would do it.
I don't like the space taken by this "non-information".
Thanks for any tips, D.
I'd love to be able to remove the call history from the home page, and move the appointments up...
Me too, I don't find the call history very useful. Would like to see the appointments in that tab instead.

In D2 there are 2 different forms of call history representations:
1. Simple Call History. You get there from home screen, tapping on Call History line. You get 3 buttons below, Call History (with options to show all, missed, outgoing,received using submenu), All Contacts, Favorites.
2. Advanced Call History. You get there when there is missed call, and you click on notify bar, then in notification manager - on "you have X missed calls" line.
In this list you see 4 buttons below, allowing quick filtering (missed,outgoing,received, all).
Simple or Advanced are mine inventions, I have to do something to tell them apart ...
So the question is: how can I change behavior of Call History line on home screen, so it will open Advanced Call History (which is much easier to use), instead of Simple Call History ?

Thats really something I would like to have too!
I agree, it would be great to change this.
Your "simple" call history is the TF3D version, whereas "advanced" is the standard WM6 version. Unfortunately, I haven't found any way to turn off only selected parts of the TF3D interface. Must be in the registry somewhere. Maybe someone out there has more ideas?

Yup, I like the "advanced" one also better. Any progress in this topic?
Me too, anyone?
Looks like not too many people are interested in this!
Just discovered something interesting.
During a call, bring up the dialer keypad on the screen (by pressing the button). Now, if you swipe your finger across the blank white space to the left, you'll bring up the WM6 style quick dial list, and if you swipe to the right you'll bring up the WM6 style call history.
Not sure why this works, but it does. Doesn't help much with our initial query though!
For what it's worth, I'm using the Dusk dialer.
Um... found a way of getting the other "advanced" call history to come up... by mistake, and it is a little convoluted! I have SK tools installed and in SK tools set a shortcut up for the "Close Tasks" feature, I then set my call button to access the Close Tasks shortcut, using the "buttons" option under the standard rom settings tab. Now when i use that shortcut by pressing and holding the call button, it closes all the tasks then jumps to the elusive "advanced" missed calls screen!
Odd, not a fix for everyone as it means closing all your other software to open the screen but thought it may be of interest!

If you go in Contacts -> History, you will see a list with all your activities including SMS messages ! You can filter to not show this but is only temporary, as soon you exit, the filter doesn't work anymore.
I find this quite unpleasant as I want my SMS to be confidential, is there any solution to not show SMS in history ?
Have you tried the menu key? It brings up a "delete" option for me. I don't want to touch and not quite sure if it'll be to your liking.
