to set notifications,
on the sd card there will be a folder called media.
in it will be folders called ringtones, notifications etc. add files as u want in the required folders.
then goto settings, sound and display, and set the tones..
for people, there is nothing such on the android os. ppl was a part of the touch flo that htc gave over winmob. tatoo has nothing such// so use the contacts manager of android..
cheers

For people you don't need a widget, on Android you can add a shortcut to a contact to the desktop (long press on the desktop, shortcuts > Contact/Direct dial/Direct message), choosing whether you want that shortcut to be direct dial, direct message or just list all available contact methods. If you first create a folder on the desktop (long press on the desktop, folders, new folder) you can add all the contacts you wish there, personally I just use the right most desktop screen for contacts.
Also you can try playing with Favourites (UK spelling!) in the contacts menu, it may do what you need.
However saying this I'm not sure which version of Android runs on the tattoo so you may not have some of these features...

long press on home screen > shortcuts > direct dial > pick whatever contact you want.

or simply read the user manual which can be found let's say here http://www.htc.com/www/userguide.aspx?p_id=313

HTC Random Access

Hello,
Htc random access is addon for contact see the pics.
Can somebody help me with it working with wizard, i cannot make it work.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339507 check this link for download and more info.
looks like nobody is interested in this application???
What does it do? Allow you to quickly go to the proper letter by sliding down the side?
I use pocketcm for my contacts. It allows you to scroll with your finger and has this option built in.

But it takes 1 mb of program memory and and the HTC contact application just merely takes 20kb.
this is wat i did
just put the 3 images in your windows directory and the exe called RadomAccess, then use a reg editor to put this in:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\11 3]
@=Contacts
Open="\Windows\RandomAccess.exe"
hope it works
It doesn't work that way. What device are you using?
huhh!!
I am using the htc p3600....
I have htcaccess it on my new schaps 4 RC.. .. but i dont get it to work..
how does it work exactly...
greets
voxid
Under Options in Contacts, you have to remove the tick on "Show Alfabetic List".
That did the trick for me anyway.... Hope it helps!
thats it.. thnx
greets
Is there somebody still working to port it on wizard???
Tested it on my mogul... It adds the functionality to use shortcuts to get to letters from the shortcut letters on the side but you've got to have a touch style scroller to actually be able to scroll down the list since you'll be missing the scroll bar.
It also apparently didn't remove completely when I uninstalled it.
*Edit: It is also not useful for non-latin alphabet contacts.
updated cab
I found a cab on the elf forum but it had some flaws
first of all there was a space between M and SCONTACTS
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:M SCONTACTS]
"1"=":MSPOUTLOOK RandomAccess"
"0"="RandomAccess"
I corrected this and changed the values in the following manner
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Rai\:MSCONTACTS]
"1"="RandomAccess.exe"
"0"="RandomAccess"
loads a lot quicker on my trinity now
at last added the following key
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\AddrBook]
"Flags"=dword:01004000
this after the suggestion by muyan

[EDIT: when i wrote this post there wasn't any space between M and SCONTACTS, but when i reviewed it there is one can this have something to with the colon in front of the M? probably why this error got into the cab in the first place (cut and paste) . Well, it's not there in the cab anymore]

shortcut to contact

Hi
Is there a way to create shortcut to contact so when I press it I can view my contact?
Hi,
create a new tex document and rename it to Contact.lnk
write in Contact.lnk:
21#:MSCONTACTS?outres.dll,-10000
MfG
Starbase64
thanks but...
Thanks but that's not what I am looking for.
I want to view a specific contact (e.g. home or work etc.)
A contact name or a contact type?
a contact name.
when you go to contacts and press any contact name you can view it's home number mobile address etc.
I just want to go to that window in one press.

There's an idea, lets make a new app and call it "1Contact", that would go great on my "1Pod" or "1Phone".
Have you tried one of the many, many, many today plugins like "Picture Contacts" or "Spb Phone Suite"?
Those will put a picture of the person on your today screen so you can just touch it to make a call.
nite, i think you're missing something here.. it's not HIGH TECH!
it should have an "i" before the 1..
we bring you, straight from www.pointlessppcfreewareforpeoplewho'reunawareofgoogle'sexistance.com
i1Contact!... woohoo
ill be gentle.
if you use HTC Home when you put a face contact if you tap and hold you get the contact's window with all details.
that was me being gentle.

See nir, it's not too hard to add some constructive comments to your "FUN" posts
I forgot a bout HTC Home, but you would have to press a tab on that first, Spb Phone Suite would probly be as close to a "One Click" app that he's looking for. After all, one less click on the phone equals one more click available for the Playstation or XBox.
PS: You gonna register that domain or can I!
go for it man.. we already have 1 pointless freeware to put there.
Try go2contact

As for the funny guys above - I've heard some Joke forums are looking for you. Good luck.

what i would like to know is: where can i find an index of available panels or are they made custom ..(how) ?
is there a way to get the audio louder ? for example in g-alarm i can raise the vloume by a pre-amplifier...
how can i assign ringtones / caller picturesto my contacts or even create groups and the assign "group ringtones" ?
thx a lot!
I have a question not an answer..How do you set for the pictures to save into the memory card not the phone..Ive looked and cant figure it out..And Congrats on the Purchase..I just Bought mines yesterday ( Pricey..But Loving it)
after 3 days of reading i decided to flash the latest xperience 3.5 rom... really nice and lots of nice tools!
but im still having some problems switching panels... can switch from tf3d panel to the standard SE panel BUT not back... when i press teh panel button my phone freezes immediately and i have to take out the battery... any ideas ?

well, to assign ringtones/caller pictures, you would have to set up the contacts as an outlook contact (different from sim)
as for groups, i've still got idea. I've only gotten my xperia for 5 days :x
thanks! but how do i set up the SIM contacs as outlook contacts without having double entries ?
the freezing problem gets really anoying... i just can use the TF3D panel..., i can switch the panel ONCE and then if i press the panel button ....freeeze!
and there is another bug... i tried to change the keylock setting so that i can activate the screen by ANY button... but somehow the setting is not saved properly cuz i still have to use the I/O button on top...?
thankful for any help!
btw----installed the YOTA contacts...very cool and you can create several groups and assign ringtones =)
for sim contacts, you can tweak it to show only outlook.. maybe xperia tweak has it..

Only 1 idea: you should use the original HTC COM3 theme. I have never had the problem that you are describing...

1. it is store at my device/my documents
2.if u r using s2u2, it will show at the end of the conversation. But for only 1-2secs. If you want to check, you can go to Call History to see.
3.Rightfully, the device light sensor(beside the speaker) will automatically put the screen on off when u place ur ear against the phone. If not, u call press briefly once on the power button at the top to off ur screen.
4.Not sure. Mayb u can try manual network selection instead of auto (Phone settings > Network)
5.Not sure what you meant. But you can dismiss those notifications from the home page.
Hopefully it helps.
thanks for the replay buddy
1. i found the folder .. thanks alot :]
2.unerstood ..im using this applicaion but it dosent show me that but never mind ..
3. even if i press the power button after few seconds it still lights up every moment when is speak and my ear touch and press few buttons which is very disturbing
if i will buy Headphones and will talk with them it not will light up ?
4.not works still the same
5.i meant the 3d touch flo home screen ..the messages that shown under the clock ..i want the home screen show only the clock and nothing under it ...it is possible?

3.Call your operator and edit internet settings manually.
4. Install this "Touch InCall Screen Tweak Config"
5.Try this
