I've searched and found no topic of relevance.
I would like to change the contact label on the hd2 to "ABC's Son" from "Work" - is it possible as on the Nokia E-series?
I have faith in XDA : )
also, if its not possible on the hd2, which touch-screen phone is it possible on?
thanks again
bump - no one got an answer or mod?
For a start, that's a confusing question.
Why don't you just go and edit the contact?
Start > Contacts > click Contact > left button
If I remember correctly...
no i meant like the contact label not the contact itself. an example of a contact label would be "company" or "home" or "mobile" - i wanna change them to "His Son" "His Wife" etc etc

Hi folks,
TIM Brasil send me ans SMS with all calls I've lost. useful when I flying, at arrival I saw who call me.
The problem is the SMS contain the caller number, time and date, so I need to search at Contacts to discover the caller name.
Someone know a piece of software able to look at phone number inside of SMS and scan the Contact to match it, showing the name of the contact?
Best regards
Any ideas?
Here in Italy vodafone sends a similar SMS but sets the sender name to the one who attemped to phone you
In this way the phone shows automatically the name (if it has been stored in contacts)
To quickly discover who's the owner you can do two things:
1) if the message contains "This number +xxyyyyyy tried to call you..." press the down key (the number should be selected by a square box) click and your phone should start dialling that number (doing a lookup in contacts and showing the name)
2) you can remember the first numbers (excluding the international prefix) press "red phone", "green phone" (to quickly start the phone application) and use the hermes' smartdialer to quick find who's the owner.
Try using SPB Diary...
Make sure your numbers are in the international format.

In fact this work, but is not exactly what I want, because after a airplane trip the SMS has 3 or 4 numbers. So I need to call/abort 3 for times... It's not elegant way.
thanks.

WM developer
Hi Guys,
I'm trying again... Is there a WM developer here who could develop a little plug in to do it?
I think is not complicated, but I don't know WM development to do it.
Of course this could sold to the community.
i had once a siemens sl45 and when i had a phone number in a sms it replaced it by the name in the phonebook... i so miss that feature..... i haven't seen it on other phones since then...
I'm not alone
Finally someone understood what I'm saying.
It's very useful this feature. I'm wondering if someone could develop this.
Anybody as a volunteer?
Maybe this is what you need?

Thanks Moe,
It's exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you.
I tried searching thorugh the xda forums for an original HTC Home Plugin thread, but couldn't locate one, so i'll start here and maybe someone can forward me to the right place.
I have contacts in my contact list that just have a Company name, and not a first or last name.
The problem is that these contacts cannot be added to the quick dial area of the HTC Home Plugin, it will allow you to select it, but it doesn't show up, and you are unable to click that entry to dial the number. However, if you go edit that contact and add a first / last name, then it magically shows up on the quick dial.
Does anyone know of a bug fix / workaround for getting contacts with just a company name to show up? (And please don't say add a first / last name, that's obviously a solution, but not a fix.)
Any way to also have the phone number displayed on the screen as well when selecting a contact?
If you have multiple numbers on a contact, it just lists the contact 3 times.
J.D.
put the company name in the name field and then change file as: to the company name and it won't change it to look like a name
I have tried to find if this has been answered elsewhere so I apologise if I have missed it.
Got my HD2 this morning and the first thing I did was update the firmware to 1.48.
Synced with Outlook and it has my contacts. Tried to put my wife on the People tab as a favourite. My previous phone would have stored her and I would have had to select her work or mobile number after selecting her picture on the tab. However, I see I have to choose which number when I add her as a favourite. That's OK - so I select her mobile number. I then try and add her again with her work number as a separate favourite but that deletes her first entry. It looks like you can only have one favourite per contact even if they have more than one number. Surely that can't be right? I don't want to have to create separate contacts for every number for my favourite people!
Have I missed something?
TIA

Choose which number you're most likely to call - once the contact is added as a favourite, if you tap the name (as opposed to the picture) it will bring an "action" screen listing call mobile, call work, call home, send message, send email etc depending on what info is available for that contact
Thanks for the help, Isadora. That's good as it means I can have more favourite people. The only disappointent is that it is a little more difficult to hit the name instead of the picture if you're walking fast or something like that. But thanks again anyway.

If you add "View Contact Card" then the default action for that contact is to bring up the action list where you can call them, text them, email them etc..
It's a bit more like the original people style that was exhibited in TouchFlo.

When you select which contact you wish to add to the grid on People tab a seperate window will be displayed ^ the phone numbers & the option to add contact card will be there. Good luck!
Great! That's just what I needed. Now why can't a 310 page userguide tell you that?
Thanks

I am running CyanogenMOD 7 Nightlies and all I was wondering is if I can add or change MY personal profile picture where it shows a picture next to my number when I'm texting.
go to your contacts, add contact with the name me, add your number then add your pic and save it. should be good.
it didn't work.

The method from Havlic did not work for me, because under "call settings" I do not have the option for "additional settings"... dont know why, I am running cm7 nightly, but anyways--
--the solution originally put forward in this thread worked great for me... just created a contact labled "me" and took a picture

Well, no. That's only a "partial" solution.
Once again, two things need to be in place for this to work:
1) You have to let the phone know your own phone number by specifying it in the "Call settings"
2) You have to create a contact with the same phone number and assign a picture to it. It doesn't really matter what name you give to that contact ("Me", "Myself", "Irene" or whatever else).
If you fail to make sure that step 1 is done, then the picture will only "half-work", so to say. More specifically, the picture you used on step 2 will only appear next to incoming messages. But all outgoing messages will have no picture next to them.

There's no such thing as "my contact card" under CM7. You must be thinking about HTC Sense ROM. CM7, unlike Sense, does not have a dedicated contact entry for yourself.
One can be emulated by creating an entry for your own phone number, but it doesn't have to be named "my contact card".
Does anyone know how to set up my own profile picture under CM7?
For example, if I go to SMS messaging interface, each message has a placeholder for the picture of the sender. The pictures of other people are, of course, taken from their profiles in the contact list. But messages sent from my phone just have an empty gray placeholder. How do I specify the picture to be used for my messages?
In HTC Sense ROM the address book has a special entry - "Me" - which is used as the profile of the phone owner and the picture from that entry is used with messages sent from this phone. CM7 has no such entry. What does CM7 offer instead?

Er... OK. So the last post at your link says
"Contacts - my contact card - menu - edit contact"
What does "my contact card" mean? There's no "my contact card" entry in contact list in CM7. There's no "my contact card" entry in contact list menu.

You have to create a contact card (person) for yourself. Then edit the picture within that contact point.

Well, I already tried that and it didn't work. If you simply create a contact card for yourself, it will only display the picture for incoming messages that you send to yourself. I.e. you send a message to your own phone number, then in the SMS list the incoming message will have the picture next to it, while the outgoing message will still have a gray placeholder next to it. Not very useful. So, no, simply creating a contact entry for yourself does not work (and the thread you found by search does actually state that "it didn't work").
I found the solution though. The key part is to go to "Settings -> Call Settings -> Additional Settings -> My Phone Number" and enter the phone number in that field. CM7 will find the contact with that phone number in the contact list and use the picture from that contact as your profile picture. Of course, the natural approach would be to create a contact entry for yourself and specify your own phone number as "My Phone Number"
P.S. It is surprising how many threads dedicated to this issue say that "you have to create a contact entry for yourself" and the authors of the original question immediately respond that "it doesn't work" (and it really doesn't) and the thread basically ends there without offering any solution. They "should of" (sic!) mentioned the key bit with "My Phone Number" setting! I hope this thread will serve as the complete solution for the issue.
Glad you figured out. What you were seeing was sense dialer combined with facebook for htc. I have a feeling if you downloaded the official facebook app and synced the contacts, you will get the profile picture back. I can't prove it since i am not on aosp roms, and cant remember how its was when I had mt3g. Good luck. All and all its not a big deal, you know what yourself looks like.

Indeed, OpenSource seems to attract lots of "knowledgeable" bullshitters.
Just wasted a whole load of time creating "me" contacts in different cases, trying it as Google and local contacts, nothing working, and then I found this thread hidden away...
