I know in most Android phones there is a way to set a phone number as the default for a contact. I don't see a way to do that with the preloaded contact list. Is it just the order of the phone numbers in their contact card? If so, is there an easy way to change the order rather than deleting and re-adding them in the order you want?
Go into a contact.
Menu Button.
Mark as default.
Select number.
Voila.

Is there a small utility that will allow me to copy numbers from the call history and add new numbers to exisitng contacts instead of only new contacts on my mda compact?
when i right click i often have to chose send txt msg then copy the number which takes forever
also, if you add to a new number and then delete it it enters the number in the history as either unnamed or unknown caller. if you add this number to an existing contact it doesn't update the list? is this normal or is it just my phone? is there a way to update the list from the existing contacts list?
many thanks in advance
Hi,
I would like simply to copy a phone number from the history phopne list.
All there is now is the annoying option "Save to contacts". This option forces me to paste the number in a new phone contact etc.
Does anybody know how to tweak the system in order to copy directly from phone history list?
Well that "Save to contacts" is a good feature. Anyway, how else do you want it to be?
Don't want to "Save to contacts"!
I want to paste the phone number anywhere I want: Memo, Word, Exel etc.
The regular version forces me to copy/pase it from contacts. Also, I need to erase the new undesired contact each time I copy-paste a new phone number.
Same goes for SMS. No copy function there....very strange.
I chose a contact as a shortcut. If a contact has multiple numbers, when I click on the shorcut and click on the phone icon, it will ask "remember this choice" for default. Well... I want my calls to this person to have a default number, but I want the default SMS number to be different, but it doesn't do it. When I choose a default CALL number, it uses that as the SMS default number.
Anyone notice this? Anyone know a fix? Thanks

Have you tried going to the individuals contact and long pressing the desired numbers to set them as the defaults that you want?

You can't do that from the contact shortcut (I created a shortcut on my phone's desktop by holding down on the desktop, then choosing shortcut, then choose contact; that's where the I'm having the problem)
Once I choose a default in the contact's shortcut (on the desktop), it uses tha default for both CALLS and SMS. In my situation, I want the Home phone number to be default for calls, but the cell phone number for SMS.
When going to the phone dialler, you can tap out the name of a person but it does not give you the option to call any of the associated numbers. Seems to only come up with one number (probably the first in the list).
This was coming up wrong for a few people I call a lot so I set their default number. I now don't know how to deselect the default number (so there is no default). I want to do this because when I add a short cut to a person on the desktop, it will give a drop down list of numbers to call if there is no default but dials the default number automatically if it does have a default number.
Seems really bizarre. I would have expected:
Being able to call any number when entering a name from the dialler (with the default number first if it has been set).
Being able to call any number from a person short cut regardless whether a default number is set or not.
Being able to remove a default number from a contact.
Any help or workarounds will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
I am on JM2 and I don't have this problem. Whenever I start typing the name of a contact, it appears, I press on it and all the number are there to choose...
That's promising. Are you able to confirm if there is a way to remove the default number selection from a contact once it has been set? Thanks.
I'm going mad with this but I cannot figure out how to edit a contacts number, I'm positive the option doesn't exist, if it does it's well hidden or im blind.
when I chose a contact to edit, the only options I get are 'delete' 'send message' 'move to' and 'copy to', nothing to actually edit the contact card to either edit a number, add a number, add email etc.

Not something I need to do often and probably not done it since I had the Oppo but need to do it now.
Cheers
