HI All - Does anyone know how to force the phone display to show my contacts as <first name> <second name> rather than the other way a round?
I tried the hack available at
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=41968&sid=b73d9d6aacdea440d7d0dd916618b70c
but it didn't seem to make a difference
Dear stevep,
After installing this hack, you should tap and hold on the name in the contacts window and choose " File as: First Last " from the menu...
Regards and thanks...
Hiya! Are we talking about the same window? I mean the one that appears in the phone application. I think you are talking aobut the 'tap and hold feature' in CONTACTS app NOT the PHONE app. If I 'tap and hold' when in phone mode...I just get a window that shows all that contact's telephone numbers plus an option to send them a text
Thanks anyway
Dear stevep,
I meant that, after installing the hack, if you tap and hold in the contacts on a name and choose " File as: First Last " from the menu, then the name order is changed to First Last and this should also effect the phone window view.Now you should see the same view order in the phone window...
Regards and thanks...
File as <first> <last>
Hi again - Thanks for the reply
This is strange. The names are filed 'First' then 'Last' in Contacts, but in the phone view SOME aren't. I specifically changed one in Contacts to First Last...and when I opened up the phone window it was showing LAST, FIRST
:x
Dear stevep,
i advice you to soft reset after changing the orders to first last, because the phone window doesnt refresh it self till soft reset...May be this helps...
Regards and thanks...
Names 'order' in Contacts
Sorry...it does not appear to do this even after a soft boot. ie I still get LAST FIRST in some contacts in the phone window whilst they are FIRST LAST in Contacts
Thanks
this is probably easy to fix or just an error on my part.
I'm using the official rom with some theme mods.
So when i go to the contact list, click on a contact and then click the "call mobile phone" entry for that contact, the option gets activated/grey background, just to get deactivated half a second later and it never actually dials the number (same with people in the favorites list)
The contacts are stored on the phone and copied over from my blackstone, so I know the numbers are all valid.
Anyone got any ideas? Any help would be appreciated
[edit]
oh and i can dial just fine when i hiz phone on the today screen, go to the menu and choose "open contact"
[edit2]
I just realized, when I'm on the contact page of a contact (where you see there phone numbers and so on), I can click Menu -> Show more information, which takes me to the "old" contact page (as it used to be in wm 6.1), where calling someone works as well.
So there are ways around this, it's just annoying having those 2 more presses just to call a number.
Hello
strange one here, my phone number dose not appear at the top on sim manger, i really need it to. I used exchange 2010 and activesync, so i can send text message from outlook or owa. i can see a whole thread of texts between me and some one else, but it dose not display my name next to the message i sent, it dose if i sent it via outlook but not the phone. any way i need to know how to get sim manger to pick up my number or can i manually edit it, my exchange server cant pick my phone number up. so i look at sim manger and found that the issue is prob due to sim manger not displaying it. please can some one help
many thanks
Nick
Phone number is assigned from operator. Your sim contains only IMSI code and i'ts impossible retreive from phone.
You can set your phone number using sim manager:
go to sim manager menu->tools-> list your number (menu tools is not visible without gesture from down to up). In this option you can change number
Ok, My previous phone was a G1 with a 2.1 rom.
I had the option of selecting "mobile devices only" from the texting app.
I can't seem to find that on the Mytouch 4g. I try to send a text and i get the person mobile, home, work all one right after the other. and its annoying as hell.
Also i have multiple contacts listed for the same person, I've turned off all contact sync with t-mobile, I opened the contacts app, hit menu and selected view, and unchecked all but google. Why do i still have multiple contacts? but my google contacts don't have multiple when i look in gmail.
how/where can i delete any and all contacts saved in my phone from t-mobile and my sim card. to where my phone only pulls "mobile devices" from the text menu, and to where i don't get duplicates of each person in my contacts list in the phone menu?
please if your answer is "root" don't even respond. There has to be a way to do this without hacking my phone

I'm pretty sure that's just a characteristic of the Sense UI that is on the phone when it ships. I agree, it's very irritating...
I hated Sense from the moment I got the phone and for a while considered returning it for a G2 just to get plain Android. Ironically, by the time I finally got around to rooting and installing CM6 I had found that Sense had grown on me. Now I think I actually like it! How do you like that...
I got what i wanted, though it took like 5 min to do.
logged into t-mobile, and deleted contacts from there, and then re-synced my phone with t-mobile contacts so the phone now listed 0 for that section.
then i selected view, and chose sim only. and 1 by 1 deleted all contacts off my sim.
now everything has 0 contacts except google.
although i still have "work" numbers popup in my messaging app. i guess i'll have to use chompsms because i know it has "use mobile numbers only"

I went through that process too. Big pain in the ass. I think they should give us a choice of Sense or Vanilla when we buy the phone.
Hello guys,
i'm facing a strange problem with my s7 edge, it just mix the contacts number randomly. Many times i'm trying to call someone and when i do i found that it's not the one i'm trying to call!! after a deep look into my contact list i found that the phone is copying another contact phone number to another contact name, i will have two numbers under the same contact name, and when i press edit i just see the original number, the other number "the one the phone copy it himself" isn't there! i tried to show only my device contacts or google account contacts but still same problem.
Any ideas! thanks
This has never happened on my edge. Are you using any third party contact apps or dialers?
No just the regular contact app
