hi can anyone tell me how to search for contacts in the search key?
(the 4 keys on the tab)
i press search key
i type my contacts name
it asks me which browser i want to use 'to complete the action'??
i have the search settings to only search apps and contacts but it keeps trying to open a browser
i can see the contact behind the browser i want to use 'to complete the action' screen, but cant get to it, pressing back key just exits search?
baffled!!
Press search button on your tab, press the "g" google button in the top left corner and a drop down menu lets you select which criteria you want the search function to be available for...
There is a grey option button top right in that lets you select/add searchable items. In your case make sure "Contacts" is ticked. The searched for contacts appear at the bottom of your search list.
e.g. if you want to search your messages too then tick "Messaging"
Hope this helps ;-)

I am trying to send text messages using my XDA IIs and things are not working. When I select "to" in the outlook window, "my contacts" list shows up, I then select a contact, but the list remains on the screen preventing any text entry. Any ideas?
Press the little "contacts" icon to the right of My Text at the bottom of the screen, this puts the contacts list away (or pops it up).
Thanks mate, so simple.
hello
i have a 8125 and was hoping one of you unbelievably smart techies out there could whip something up for me or explain if it cannot be done. i was hoping to add a "Select all" option in the "Menu" just below "Delete" in my e-mail interface. basically if i have say 10 -20 e-mails i want to select rather than using the stylus and selecting all of them manually i would like to press "Menu" "Select all" then "Delete" can this be done??
any help would be greatly appreciated. also on another off topic note, when i use the "Meaasging" button at the top of the phone (the actual external hard mapped button) my phone switches to the mail accounts (i can see the name in the top menu) however there is no display the today screen is still visible where the e-mails should be. i have to close the mail and reopen it with the messaging shortcut from the start menu then all displays fine. i had a similar problem with the Pictures viewer and accidentaly came across a thread to rename 2 dll files, i did and that is now working. does anybody know how to fix this display issue with the messaging button
thanks again
I think this would be awesome because it is also the menu button for most applications. Like in Outlook you can check email one handed easier if this is doable.
Hit SIDE OK to bring up start menu
Scroll to Outlook
Click Scroll
Click PTT to bring up menu
Scroll to Send/Receive
Click Scroll
Is this doable or done? And do you think it would be cool?

there is a PTT hack to make it a mappable key.. however for what you want to do since you holding it one handed just the right softkey then use the wheel to hit send recieve

If there is already an e-mail in your inbox, you can use the wheel (press and hold it) to bring up the menu and then scroll down to Send and Receive and press the wheel once. If there is no e-mail in the inbox, then you need to use the right softkey to bring up the menu.
Some other shortcuts and tricks: If you have the inbox on your Today screen, you can use the wheel to highlight it and select it without using the Start menu (you probably knew that one). Also, using the Inbox hard button, you can bring up the inbox. Pressing that button when you are in the messaging app will scroll through all you e-mail accounts (like pressing the 5-way d-pad while in messaging).
Thanks for the tips.
The hack to make the PTT button doesn't allow you to map it to the right soft key. It lets you do it but when you press the button, a prompt comes up saying that is not possible.
But the click and hold on an e-mail message to do the send/receive works great.
Thanks.
So i changed from the 8125 to the wing and I have discovered it is much more difficult to send a new text message. You have to go through like 5 different commands...(open the message bar, select text message account, tap menu, scroll to new, scroll to sms) it just seems so tedious so i was wondering if anyone knows of a way to make it so i can have new message be one of my soft key choices (preferably where the delete soft key is). Its really annoying.
Thanks BP
How about when you install the HTC Home plugin, I HAD one until i bricked my phone yesterday :'( it came with the PDAVIET rom which was released some time ago.
What it does is, it shows on the Today screen a link to Email and one to SMS.
That's probably the fastest way.
Cheers
how 'bout putting the command "new sms" under a softkey ?
Or simply install the program "name" (sorry forgot the name) that puts a "New" menu at your left soft-key in the today screen, from there you can choose sms, e-mail, mms etc.. Just search for New menu
Press Contacts softkey. Scroll to the intended recipient. Tap, hold, pick "Send Text Message". Type text message. Press Send softkey.
What's the problem?
How About VIJay?
Hello,
I use VijaySMS All the time... It allows you to make a shortcut (I use SPB Today so I create the shortcuts in there) that either starts a blank SMS or start one to a specific contact. You can find the program at Vijay's webpage here: http://www.vijay555.com/
Enjoy!
You could set up the Message button to automatically go to your SMS Inbox when you press it.
Messaging Inbox > Menu > Tools > Options...
Select Text/SMS and uncheck "Display account picker when opening Messaging." This will automatically open your SMS Inbox, thus eliminating the first two steps of your problem.
hello.
i am unable to look for contacts during an active call.
may be i am unware of hw to do tht, but would be highly greatful if sumone helps me out in sorting this out..
Instructions to veiw contacts while on a Call.
while on the call screen,
1. Press Menu button on bottom left.
2. Tap "Add Call"
3. Then look @ bottom of the screen and you should see contacts, along with call log and other options.
Or the easier way is to use the Google Search bar.
Its on my home screen.
Send a message if you don't understand, or still have problems and I will call you to walk you through it, while on the phone with me
