Hi
Have everybody experienced that the contacts shown in the list when typing a name in "to:" are the ones after what you type?
Ex.
I type "Kristian" and there is only one Kristian in my contacts, but what is shown in the list is "Lars" which is the contact just after "Kristian" in the list.
Hope you understand my problem, which first occurred after i upgraded the rom to the I8700XXJK1 firmware. I would like a solution as this behavior is quite annoying.
Best regards Kristian Hagsted
No sorry, my phone always shows the contacts that fit to the entered letters.
For example, if I enter "mark" then the phone predicts "Mark" and "Markus", but if I type "marku" or "markus" then there is only the one "Markus" predicted.

Hi,
I have a K-Jam with the latest Rom but I have a problem with the "To:' box that when I type a name in some name show up but not all of them that are in my contact list.
I thought it would be maybe because of categories but no as all my contacts are categorized.
If I actually click on the To: link it brings up the full contact list with all the names...but jsut entering letters of the name in the initial box only brings up certain names.
Anyone knows what the deal is with that and how to fix it please ?
Is it because the phone number you have for the contact is not stored in the mobile number field?
On my phone it seems that contacts only appear in the To: box if you have a number in the mobile number field.
Very good ! you got it right ! thanks you man !!

Hi
I tried to search in magician forum about this, but it seems not find any similar to this
Have you ever have a feeling to find name by phone number? as for instance I got miss call from 123 111 number but does not show any name in my missed call list
so I open up contacts, but unfortunately, it only allows me to search by name not by phone number...
any idea how to do this?
THanks so much

Use the "Find" from Programs, type phone number, select "Contact" and voila!
Ow... I didn't realize that this possible as last time I tried them but resulting nothing (probably the number is not exist there and I assumed this function is not working)
Sorry questioning this question as I should read my manual more
you have to put number exactly as it writen in contacts... +38039....
and name will appears
Yea, I just notice that you need to enter exact number (with / without space) otherwise will not show anything... totally a bad search function...!!!
you can use Smart Dial: push green key then, just digit 5-6 cifres of the number and the pda will search all the contacts that contains the 5-6 cifres sequence.

Try the Standard Search option and you can find the contacts by numbers. Cheers
Hm... found anomaly here:
For some reason I tried the Smart Dial skizz0 mentioned, but for some reason it does not show the contact details when I type them, but when dial them it shows correctly
Eg:
what shown in contact:
Home
(61) 3 1234-5678
so I try smart type in smart dial:
12345678
during smart dial typing, no result shown
BUT
when I dial them, after a while it shows "HOME"
Weird isn't it...
for my opinion this "hyphen" method in contact get upside and downside:
upside ==> we can read it easily
downside ==> for some reason the program confused to recognise them...
Hi,
when in contacts, you can type the first (or any) letters of someones name and the list will filter down until you are left with the person you want.
eg..type J and you get James, Jane, Jim, etc
type A (JA) and you get James, Jane..
I'm fairly sure that when I had my first WM device (O2 Orbit), when you were in this section you could also type the phone number and the same thing would happen..but this doesn't work anymore. Was this removed for a reason, or does anyone know how to reactivate it?
thanks
You can do it on the Phone menu, start typing the number and it will shouw you the contacts.
Was that it?
thanks....very similar but it only shows the people if you start the number from the beginning.
let's just say my contact has the name Fred and the number 01234567
if I type FR I get FRed
if I type RE I get fREd
if I type 0123 I get fred
but if I type 234...I get no matches.
still...not a major issue, I just wondered where it went to is all
Hi,
Any one experiences the following problem on their HTC Leo/HD2?
- When I use the dialpad to find a contact I can use any part of the name and it will be displayed.
e.g Name in contact : Tan Ah Bee (First Name)
So I can key in either "Tan" or "Ah" or "Bee" it will be found.
- But when sending a SMS message, I can only locate the contact if I type "Tan". Keying in "Ah" or "Bee" will not find the contact.
Seems like in SMS mode, it searches the contact name in sequence......
Anyone???
Am facing a strange problem with my new Nexus, In Messaging when am trying to compose a message, In TO option it doesn,t show nay name and not even show any names from contacts, For Example, in my Contacts there is a nmae JOHN, but When in Messaging TO Option when i Type J it soesn,t show any contacts started from J, Everytime i have to add the Mobile Number there or Send SMS via Contacts.
Help me regarding this
Unless you memorized the person's area code + number, the name will not appear when you composed regular texts. I have found the fastest way to compose texts is to scroll through the contacts, click the name, and then select the green message smiley. Adds a few seconds of time onto the composition, but you get faster with it when you're used to scrolling through your contacts.

That's not true. I type the first letter of the name and they show up. I know what your problem is too.
You need to edit your contacts and add the number as "Mobile". I assume right now you have them set as "Home" which is the default. Your phone doesn't display "Home" numbers when you're texting.

It was my understanding you had to type two letters to get the auto-suggest to pop up, not just one. Try "JO"...

You can type one or two. His problem is that he has their phone numbers set to "Home" instead of "Mobile".

Seriously, I've always (had a G1 since launch as well) had to type two letters before the suggestions came up, I'm actually testing this right now. Going through each letter of the alphabet, and nothing comes up with just one letter inputted. If your phone does it with one, I'd like to know how!

Oh well I guess you're right. I guess I've never stopped at one letter =P
But either way I know what he's talking about. My wifes number got changed to "Home" a while ago and it would NOT display her name in the TO field. I went to edit her contact and found that it said "Home" so I changed it to "Mobile" and it fixed it.
Speak of the devil. It just did it again and I just fixed it lol.
