Hello all, I just received my X1, and I am loving it! Great way to start off the new year! However my contact list looks funny...Is there any way to change my contact list? For some reason after every name is a /1 or /2. I am getting my contacts through my sim, is there a way to remove the /1 or /2, or would I have to go through every list and take it off?
try copying your contacts on to your phone to see whether that resolves it. Some phones (my old sony ericsson phone used to) stores primary, duplicate, mobile, work numbers etc. with backslashes.
Yea mine was like that too. I didnt want to change it manually so I just beamed them from my old phone one by one :|
I know what you would've done... You previously had a SE phone in which you had stored contacts with various numbers Home number, work number etc...
Then you copied them onto your sim, before putting in the sim to the X1.
Now this is the way SE stores them on the sim...
great...no way to fix this all together? lol yeahh i had a k810i, which i don't find to be too old of a phone...i tried exporting from the sim to the phone too, didn't change anything though. Is there a way to export your contact list to the computer? I could just write up a quick c++ program to take in the list and remove all slashes and everything after that.
I wanna export my contact list into my comp
Im having problems finding for my contacts on the phone because of the overlapping of names with /1 /2 sort of titles... but before i do any changes and arrange the contacts, i wanna save them into a list on my computer. but it doesnt show on the microsoft office outlook contact list ?? help me~!
totally new to pocket pc here... please help!
greatly appreciated.
W810i to Xperia
Yea similar thing happened to me. I have a w810i and i saved all my contacts to the sim, and tried to copy them into my Xperia. The contacts were saved like
last name; firstname /m (mobile)
last name; firstname /h (home)
So what i did was I put the SIM back in my w810i and sent the contacts via bluetooth. You don't need a sim to power on the Xperia. However, i was unable to get "Send all contacts" to work. So i had to send one at a time!, it was a pain, but at least it's better than trying to removed the /m /h and consolidate the numbers into one contact.
Hope this helps!
I just corrected all contract one by one... the problem is the difference between a mobile phoen and a smart phone...
Hi!
I love my phone. One issue id that I know how to view contacts by group, but I cant figure out hpw to view contacts by organization. Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated. Is there some how to convert the organization fields into the group field?
Thanks-
Robert
Please help! I am using the dudes roger 0.5 which kicks ass. I need to be able to sort m contacts by organization.. I have no exchange server and dont know anything about exchange. I used to use activesynch whith my old artemis.
PLease?
I dont know if I was clear,
I mean when you enter a contact, and you enter their name , number, ertc... you can also enter the name of their organization. I am not sure if this is the defauls set up since I synched my outlook contacts with gmail to get them into my phone... but the issue is I want to be able to see my contacts by the organization they belong too... It is very difficult to find people by just searching for their name as I cant remember everyones name, but I do know the company they are saved under. This seems like such an important basic figure. Am I missing something obvious?
Android 2.2 on HTC EVO
I have the same issue. I use Outlook 2007 on my desktop computer an use HTC sync to sync with my EVO. On my desktop Outlook all my contacts are filed by Company. When they came in on the EVO they are filed by contact name. What a joke for a business phone. Android calls the company field Organization. I also can't remember individual names of people at every company contact. There should be a setting to file by Name, Organization, etc.
If there is no Android setting than even an APP would solve the problem. If I can't get a solution the phones going back and I will have to try an iPhone. Had Windows mobile 6.5 with no outlook issues.
Thanks, Barry
I have copied my phone number onto my sim from my old phone and imported to contact.
Irrittatingly the HD2 sees the names backwards and only searches for the "first" name [there are lots of "name_mobile" and hence now I have to search for "mobile"]
Anyway to select the order of names or will i have to edit about 180 contacts?
there is a cab that when run reverses the names. I'll try and attach it but if I cant, look for "contact changer first last"
if you add new contacts after using it don't forget to select display first last out they will be wrong.(course you can run the changer prog again to fix it)
this is not my handiwork but sadly I can't remember who to credit.

Useful to have
Sadly I don't think that will fix it.
I looked at a few contacts. They were imported to my [still waiting to be active!] sim from my current phone (SE K800i) and then from sim to HD2
Sadly "John Smith" as a saved mobile number is identified in Contacts as:
Forename - blank
Surname Smith; John/2 [I assume the /2 is a code assigned by the SE to differentiate between mobile/home/work/business category symbols].
It is a PITA that I might have to edit all of them by hand.
They are all nicely ordered in Outlook in a subfolder from Contacts Called "Mobile Contacts" but I can't get ActiveSynch to synch with anything but the main contacts folder [The SE Software did allow this easily]
I'm coming from a Touch Pro 2 with a custom 6.5.1 ROM. This is my first go at Android. As I use my device I keep coming across little quirks and things that I don't like. I usually forget for a few hours until that quirk pop-up again. I just thought I would document these things here and see if anyone can provide some input or help.
1) Google Contacts (it sucks)
2) Why does the contact manager want to give me the option for sending a message to all the fax numbers in my contacts (IE: click on a contact, and now I have 4 options for sending a mesage, - cell, fax, office and home - UGH that is SUPER WRONG!!
3)Why sort contacts by the first name.... who does that ??? Why not give an option. (EDIT: found out how to fix this... Thanks!)
4)Why store all the names as just one field, not first name and last name seperately? (EDIT: Found out how to fix this one too.. Thanks!)
5)No option for a display name in contacts
6)Can't edit a contact from "Phone" type to "Google" type. (is it because Google contacts sucks?)
As you may notice, this has a lot to do with contacts, I've been messing with my EVO for a few days now to try and get my contacts straight.... I'll add more stuff as I run across it.
Im pretty sure you can edit your contacts on the evo
...I had windows mobile ...and I hated it. android rocks!!!

for first and last names, I just type the full name in the "first name" field.
