Hi guys.
Can anyone here teach me how to transfer things straight from the SMS I receive to contacts.
1. I want to save phone/contact numbers sent to me thru sms. Right now I have to copy and then go to contacts then create new and then paste ... any way to do it like in the nokia phones where you could save to contacts straight away?
2. Contact number of the sender him/herself.
thanks!
I think that as the XDA2 appears to be a PDA first then a phone second, this functionality isn't possible, I currently work just as you do...
Pain is the
Hi guys,
sorry to get back on this question, but it is really bugging me off:
When I try to send an sms to SOME contacts, my 9100 sends me to the generic SMS form - without pre-filling the "To" field with the correct number.
Of course the contacts in question does have a mobile/sms number filled in. Also, I can't figure which contacts are affected.
And: the problem seems to happen only with the original Contacts form. SMSsing from Agenda Fusion works just right.
Editing over two characters in the "note" section of the contact seems to fix the problem FOR THAT SPECIFIC name only, but of course I'd like to find a more sensible solution.
Any suggestions?
no?
When I receive a call or a text message from someone it displays their phone number instead of their name that is in my phonebook.
How do I fix this as I have tried google and the user manual and can't seem to find it.
Thanks in advance.
I've been talking to HTC tech support about this issue and they got me to try a few things. They now say that I will have to send it back to them for repair as they reckon it is faulty. Hopefully they won't send it back to me reflashed to the UK Orange ROM....
The other day I synched my tattoo with my Outlook contacts and calendar. It screwed it right up. Deleted over 500 contacts and moved loads of events in my calendar.
I have to wait for the IT dept to restore my outlook from the backup tape from the exchange server.
Since I told HTC about this they have stopped replying. Maybe next week they will take it in for repair......
Has anyone else had this problem. If I have the phone with SIM only contacts then the name shows. If I sync my Outlook contacts then none of my outlook or SIM contacts display the name. The ROM that I am using is 1.67.405.6
The phone is just back from repair and no fault found and they reinstalled the Orange ROM on it. I have put it back to 1.67.405.6 ROM
I love this phone apart from this problem (which I must get fixed or it's back to using the Kaiser).
My camera doesn't auto focus either to scan barcodes
Am I the only person in the world that owns a Tattoo that this happens to ????
No, to be honest my tattoo camera doesn't auto focus either when scanning barcodes...when using the normal camera it does really well...
Since I don't really need this feature it didn't quite bother me...
All my incoming phone calls and text messages just show the callers id number but it doesn't translate them into the phonebook names. Very annoying.
I doubt that this is a fault on the tattoo. Should be some settings somewhere. Remember on windows mobile 6.x you had to set the minimum number of digits in the phone number if your country used less than the default settings for it to show phonebook names? Might be something like that. Try to dig in this direction.
Think I have looked at every setting on this phone and still can't seem to get it working. Maybe it's a fault in the ROM or summat
Does the phone display SIM contacts AND phone contacts? if yes i would set it to phone only and copy all contacts to from sim to phone - maybe it can't handle doubled entries...Oo
I got it listing phone contacts only, changed my frequent ones to +44 numbers, still no difference, still showing phone numbers for all calls and texts.
Is my phone the only one that does this ??
If it doesn't get sorted soon i'll have to get rid of it as this is a bloody nuisance....
Yes, I'm afraid that your phone is the only one, just as my phone was the only one to delete sms messages automatically...I called HTC support and they told me I had to hard reset the phone (although I did this 2 times before). Nevertheless I tried the third time and now the problem's gone curiously...
You can backup all your data on your SD card before you hard reset it (if you're willing to do this again), so no data loss on this side
It's just a thought...
I think hard reset is triggered when pressing Menu and Back buttons while the phone is turned off and then shortly pressing the power button.
Sorry for not being of more help

Right, I decided to bite the bullet again and did a hard reset, scrubbed everything.
1. SIM contacts only, phoned the mobile and the name and number came up the way it should i.e. normal
2. Synched my outlook contacts with the phone
3. Called the mobile from numbers in my Outlook, just the number shows, no name
4. Called the mobile from numbers that worked in step 1, these now show as just number only, no name
5. From this I presume that there is something wrong/corrupt in the Outlook data that the phone doesn't like and screws the names part up. I presume I will need to go through all my Outlook contacts to see if anything jumps out as being the problem.
Any ideas ??
FIXED IT.
Each text or call I received if I clicked on the callers number and listed the contact details it gave me part of one of my contacts with text in the number section (but the same info for every number). I then went through all my Outlook contacts 1 by 1 and found the one that had the same info. Deleted this contact on my Outlook and my phone and boom, hey presto, instantly all my number/names work perfectly now.
HTC sync had corrupted my Outlook earlier and I lost over 500 contacts, garbled others and moved stuff in my calendar.
Thank fook it's all working perfectly now.
I love this phone.
It's the second time some old sms (almost 6months) reappear in the sms's and are the same sms's than the 1st time! The android backup is OFF. Anyone with the same problem or know the cause? This is specially a problem because most of the sms reappearing from are from my EX, lol.
SMS or MMs? Do you use Sense? Is it when you flash a new rom? when you Restore sms?
or maybe just your EX want you back
Dind't check it there were any mms but at least were SMS. And a lot of them, from different people.
My phone is stock.
Android 2.3.3 Sense 2.1 Kernel 2.6.35.10 build 2.50.405.2
Din't do anything different thun usuall besides I DID sign in in the htc hub... And now that I'm thinking off... It could be the main problem!!
hum, the problem is not my EX, it's the actual one that will go mad
Once you sign into HTC Hub, you are also signing into your HTC Sense account. The HTC Sense account is supposed to back things up so you can restore them but is as dodgy as anything. It seems to restore random messages so you can delete them and it can restore them again! LOL
Try changing this setting: Menu > Settings > Accounts and Sync > HTC Sense
and then disable any Syncing in there... that should stop your texts from reappearing.
A whileback I installed TextSecure by whispersystems. I use it just for two or three contacts that I have exchanged keys with - conversations with those contacts are supposed to be secure.
However, I made the mistake back then to tick the box to use TextSecure for handling all texts coming to my device.
But, it's not that great to be used for this purpose.. the original samsung app was better I think. Or there may be even better apps.
My problem is now that I can't revert back to my original text app - there's no way to load the messages that TextSecure has into the original app as far as I can tell
Any ideas?
