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

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...

I'm running 6.1 MR1 and sync my contacts with an Exchange Server.
I have a number of contacts that have the same office phone number, and I'm trying to figure out if there is some way to specify which contact info is displayed by Called ID when there is more than one person/entity with that phone number in my contacts.
For example, say I have individual contacts for the ABC Company, John Doe and Jane Smith. All three have the same work telephone number. When I get a call from that phone number, it could be John Doe, Jane Smith or anyone else at the ABC Company calling. Let's say that in this situation, my caller ID display always shows the incoming caller as John Doe. Is there any way to tell Windows to display the caller as the ABC Company information when it receives a call from this number instead.
I've embarrassed myself too many times thinking one person was calling when in fact it was someone else!!!
Thanks!
I've love to be able to do this too.
My problem is that I have a shared address book with all workers at my business with home as well as work numbers. My name and number are obviously in there. In a different book I have my wife's name and our home number. Whenever she calls, my name, as it's alphabetically before here, shows up first. I've tried putting a period or space before her first name hoping that it would move her up on the list, but it moves her down to the last spot of people with the same last name, and I can't change my name in the shared book.
If you're working off personal address books, I'd see if you can fudge the names so that the one you want to appear shows up alphabetically first. Then I think that's the one that gets grabbed with Caller ID
the other option. if you can edit your contacts. Would be to remove the work phone number from the individual contacts. That way it only shows for 'ABC' Company.
Thanks, Nec . . . I've removed the work numbers for the individuals as a half-baked work around. The problem is that some of them are favorite contacts (Spb Shell), so if I want to call them at work, I have to go through the directory instead of just using the picture shortcut.
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???
Hello,
Is it possible to show company name on incoming call on HD2. I want to have not only name, surname and telephone but also company name.
The only way i can think is to rename your phone book and put company name in "first name" and persons ful name in "last name" or vise versa. Hope this helps
Hi Guys.
I have a sugession and request as well. There is something very important missing in Manila Dialer screen.
When call comes, in Tytn II, it shows Caller Name, Number, His Company name and Designation (if stored with name). But in manila, this is missing.
I request you, if it is possible to make something in that way. I have several contacts with the same name from different companies and when a call cames I never know what person is really calling. It would be great if we can have a dialer screen with Picture, Name, Company name and number.
I have searched and searched and I could not find what I need.
Thanks & Best Regards

I don't believe this has anything to do with manila but with the phone canvass or dialer.
Whether or not this can be added I don't know.
Thanks for your reply.
Any ideia how to change canvas or dialer? I think I can only change colors and fonts on the dialer.
Any possibility to change the fields that are displayed and add the company name too?
The incoming call screen in Phone Canvas displays whatever you have the name filed as in your contacts. Why not file it differently? You know, you can add a company name to a contacts information and have the company name display in parentheses right after their name. That way, it will display in that format in your calls too. Just a suggestion...
Thanks for your suggestion, but I use my phone mainly for business and I need to file name and company in diferent fields. I really need a company field on dialer screen so I can quicly identify who is calling me. I have 912 contacts and isn't easy to remember where each contact works.
