Global Directory Search - Galaxy S II General

Hi, can I search the Global Directory of my company or Lookup a contact information from the original mail for exchange client without the need of TouchDown help?

When creating a new Email for your Exchange account, you can click in Online button next to the Search field after you enter a few characters. This searches in the global address book. After you've found someone, select email address in the contact information.
I haven't found out yet how to browse the global address book and add contacts from there to your local phone. Even WM could do this...

I use the following app: https://market.android.com/details?id=net.vivekiyer.GAL

Just start typing the name. Automatically searches the directory using the server! B-)

No it's not working like this on mine! Wonder if there are any settings needs adjusting! Whenever I start typing a name, it only gives relevant names already on my contacts.

Now this is the most useful trick! I got it thank you! Though it is strange to work only from the new email window while it doesn't from inside the normal contacts manager! The function exists, but not very well utilized! Thank you again

Working perfectly on mine. I need to type 3 letters and after that the online button appears, then I just select the organization and press search and voila!

Yes I managed to make this but only from inside a New Mail Compose Window. Not from the normal contacts management application.

Twitter app

I just installed the official Twitter app and it is awesome! I love that it integrates with my contacts.
There's one problem, though. If I join a Twitter contact to an existing contact, it uses the Twitter username as the contact's display name instead of the name I entered via Google contacts and I can't find a way to fix this. It is really annoying. I have a few joined contacts that are Google + Facebook + Twitter and some that are just Facebook + Twitter and I am frustrated that I can't control how the contact shows up in the list.
Any ideas or fixes?
Thanks

FWIW it is only happening on contacts that I join manually. The ones that it joined automatically show the "Google" display name.

same problem and nothing I can do about it either. I am guessing its a bug
It seems like the order you join them in matters. Or maybe it is the alphabetical order of the names. I do see that the nickname field is populated but I can't seem to override it.

I'm facing the same problem.
I was already looking for a solution and the only suggestion I've discoverd was: export your contacts (as vCard) and re-import them from your google account (website)
This said, I should do this soon as well

I think I misunderstood the question. Anyway this is what I understand how "phone" and "addressbook/people" works in Wildfire.
1) When you key in a number to be saved, you will be prompted where to save, phone or SIM or Exchange (if you have an account) or [email protected] (if you have an account). selection of those will determine where it will be saved.
2) If you have accidentally saved it to your phone, you may not tranfer it to google contact except by manually inputting it into google contact.
3) For "phone" operation when you press the keypads, Wildfire will search in all the database whether stored in phone or SIM or Exchange or Google contacts, and display all that has been found, so you will see multiple similar numbers. So if you have same name in two database with different numbers, you will see two different numbers.
4) When you go to "people" the names listed depends on which "view" (the eye icon) is selected. e.g. if ABCD is in only in "phone" it will not appear if view is google. likewise if WXYX is only in Exchange, it does not appear if view is phone. However regardless what view you are in when you are in phone mode and press the keypads for ABCD or WXYZ, both will be listed.
5) you can sync your google contacts by activating the "Activesync" function (in Settings) - without having to connect your phone to your PC>
AFAIK.

How do I open an email draft I saved?

I hit "save draft" it popped me out
Later I'm back in and there's no drafts folder, not in the outbox...
Lil help?

What app are you using for email?
If it is gmail, push the inbox button in the top left corner and go to drafts.
I guess its gmail...its whatever the default email app is.
Even though I hit "SAVE DRAFT" I have no drafts folder when I click the top left. I have inbox, trash, outbox (empty) and sent.
Silly thing.....
You guess? It makes a huge difference what app you are using. Is the name of the app gmail or email?
Its says email in the apps drawer...its such a generic looking name I assumed it was a shortcut to "the email app do jour ".... so "email " is the name of the app

Oh ok thank you. I just set up my account using that app, and I think I got it.
Open the app, press the menu key. Then select folders and look for something with the word "drafts". For me it was GMAIL/Drafts because I have a gmail account. It may be labeled something else if you're using a different provider
Jmoney47,
Thanks for spending time with me and sorry about the delayed response..... unfortunately there was no drafts folder.
But... problem solved!!!!
I am using the messaging widget, and on the opening screen where I can see all my accounts there is a green plus on the title bar top right. When you press that plus you see all of the unsent messages that were partially started. You can either start a new message from there or select any of the partially composed messages and complete them.
It's almost like a generic draft folder for all email clients.... once again the droid o s makes things so easy that they hide in plain sight!

Problem with htc mail client

Hello,
I have a problem with the stock htc email client of my DZ: when I receive a mail with a attachment I can read the body of the message. When I push the botton for see the attachment and then I "use" the file (in the specific case a pdf) it ask me which app use for it. Then, when I go back to the mail, the text of the message is desappeared, it has only the sign (and the file).
I am not expert with the system and android, maybe I do something wrong or maybe is a bug. Anyone has the same problem? Any ideas?
Thank you all in advance.

I am not try clear about your question? Are you saying that when you c heck the attachment and return to your email all the text is gone from your email?
Sent from my T-mobile G2 using xda premium
Thank you for the answer. Yes, it's what happen. Maybe I do something wrong. In the list window I click on the message, there I can read the text and there is a part above with the attchments file and a arrow. If I click on arrow I have the list of files. If I open one file and then go back to mail program the body of the mail is without text. I hope to explain myself, sorry for the bad english.

Why don't you try a different mail client? K9 is an excellent choice.
