Hi,
Is there any way to modify the name order in the htc dialer? I'd like to see they in order Lastname, Firstname
I have a new Sensation (pyramid) and I didn't find a solution for that. Under People it is a setting for it: view -> view contact name as -> Last name first. But if I'm launching a dialer the name order will be the original: Firstname, Lastname
Under winmo it was in the right order for my local language.
Thx,
Blackdog

Anybody knows how to fix it?

I don't know what smart dialing you ppl are talking about but on my exec if i seach by name in contacts it gives both results - by first as well as last name.
If I use the keypad to key numbers in the dial mode then it searchs by number, firstname and lastname. So whats the issue about? Also the list of people is displayed wherein the matches for the firstname are displayed first and then the lastname. Yes the names are displayed in lastname-firstname format but that doesn't really make a difference does it? (the names are highlighted to the last character keyed in)
The only way to change the order from Last, First to First Last is via desktop Outlook. Go into Tools > Options > Contact Options and change the "Default Full Name order" and "Default File As order" options to what you wish.
However, the only way to change the existing contacts is to go into each within desktop Outlook and change the File As option.
Cheers

but isn't there a way or a registry hack to change the display to FirstName/LastName in smart dialing?

In contacts, press the contacts and it appears a new item in Menu in order to make first name, last name

Did you know that it's not necessary to add fileascontact at all? All you have to do is in the contact's "Name" section just add a "Nickname" in the "Nickname" field. TADA!

Tried that, entering a new contact and an existing one, but all new contacts default to last, first. Nickname only drops in when viewing an idividual contact card. Let me know if I'm doing something wrong.
I've read & searched through this forum and the upgrading one. I didn't a post anywhere telling me the .lnk for adding a contact. The reason I'm asking for this is because I'm using larna's iContac http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=303045 & the iPhone App by Grumps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=302739 Using iContac, there isn't an option to add a contact, so I would like to add a buttong to Grumps' program that would take me directly to the add a contact menu...Thanks for help in advance and I'm sorry if I posted this in the wrong section...also, it would be a big help if someone could tell me how to figure this out on my own for future programs...it should be able to be done something like this
SMS & Mail
SMS list view: 20#"\Windows\tmail.exe"-service "SMS"
New SMS: 20#"\Windows\tmail.exe"-service "SMS" -to "" -body ""
which allows you to go directly to creating a new SMS

Creating a link to a contact (or phone number)
I have a similar question to Maknificent's.
I am also using the iphone skin (with iContacts) on my wm6 wing. I have changed one of the default icons to a picture of my wife with a phone in the corner.
My question is... What is the text needed to link the picture to launching a phone number?
I know how to edit the Config.txt. Right now it is '\Windows\My5App.exe'. How do I change that line to dial my wife's number?
I have looked. If I missed a post that has already solved this I am truly sorry for reposting.

I was looking around the config.txt file of iPhone and noticed that this is the shortcut the start the phone:
\Windows\cprog.exe
Is there an extension that can be added to launch the phone and dial the number like:
\Windows\cprog.exe :555-555-1212
or
\Windows\cprog.exe (555-555-1212)
Hey
hello,
i think this command will call 7017775555.....
20#"\Windows\cprog.exe"-url tel: 7017775555

When i save a contact to my phone, i enter the name like so (Name Lastname)
but in the contact list it shows up as (Lastname,Name)
i don't like reading names backwards. so i enter names in reverse (Lastname Name) so now they show up in the contact list as (Name,Lastname)
my question is, how do i remove the comma (,) between name and last name? i don't like it because now my contacts are like (James,Smith) instead of (James Smith)
EDIT::
Phone is an 8525, WM5.
without adding another software, you can enter name_lastname, NameLastname, etc...

when you edit a contact, change the dropdown under 'file as' to change what the contact is displayed as.
It defaults to lastname, firstname, but I've got mine as "firstname lastname" for all my contacts.
You will need to do it for every one individually though.
I figured out how to fix it, thanks for your thoughts guys..but here's how you do it
Enter the name as you want to see it (John Doe)
and just place the comma at the end (John Doe,)
and now the name will show up as "John Doe" in the contacts list, with NO comma.

but you screw things up with outlook contacts if you do that coz it saves everything as a lastname...
I don't use outlook.
Look at this.. i had the same problem...

Hi, if I start the new SMS application and I then click on the keypad letters to add a contact the names that pop up are not shown alphabetically.
For example if I press 'G' to add Gary the first name that shows on the small grey bar is Gemma, although I have 5 names that start with letters that come before Gemma alphabetically, like Gary !
So for example if I had a friend called AAA and one called AAB and one called AAC, when I press 'A' to add a name I get shown AAC first and not AAA.
Does that make sense?
Anyone any clues please it is really annoying me.
Yea, I would like to know how to list the first names first and the last names last. Right now my phone book is in alphabetical order by last name. I would like it to be in order by first name.
I simply swapped the fields when inputting contacts...
when you click on a contact and than press edit you can change the option to archiv. ass
there you can change to save first name first. i would be much easier if there was a program that automaticly changes this.

sounds like a pain if you already have several hundred contacts in the phone backwards.
I have this issue too and it's synched with Google Contacts... I don't want to have to modify the first name into the last name, I want to modify how it is viewed...
I downloaded a program called 'contact changer' that sets the 'archive as' field in the first-last name order
if you create a new contact you should manually put the archive as in the correct order

tested and synched with oultook 2007 with no problems.

I tried this app but its only a manual fix...like i said above everytime I resync it goes back to last name first.
Is there anytype of app/ cab or registry hack that makes it first name first by default?
