Sent SMS name identification

Hi my Qtek S100 sent SMS messages doesn´t display the name of people that are in my phonebook, only de number. Is it possible to show de name not the number?
Thanks

I have that too, My mda compact only shows the names when i'm replying to a message

May be you can try this when sending sms:
In the "To" field, they the name of the person you want to send, just a first few letters, the possible names will come out, then choose the right one. Doing in this way, the name and telephone number of the recipient will appear on your sms notification.
PS: I am using this for IIs.

Nop! It only shows de number wich is very bad because that way i had to remember everyones phone number... Impossible they are 800. Imagine when i send multiple sms ( i advertise my club events personally to my friends that way). Even with a 50€ phone we can do that today... And that´s so simple to fix... Hallooooooo Microsoft!!!!!!!!!! Its a shame that a so good OS like this misses so elementary issues...

Are your numbers stored under the "mobile" field in your contacts? not sure if this will solve your problem, but I found that when my firend's mobile numbers were stored under "home" or "business", the SMS program will not automatically detect it.
Try moving a few to "mobile" and see what happens.

Sent SMS name identification reply
The primary mobile number is always in the mobile field (that´s another estupid thing in outlook fields because several people have more than one mobile phone, for different operators and we have only one mobile field in here). But that's not the problem, intellipad finds all the number fields but when you do enter, the selected number goes to the "to" field in the message only with the number not the name. If you do the same procedure with keyboard (you begin typping the inicial letters) and a new pop up box appears with the names and the numbers, when you choose the name it goes to the "to" field with both the name and the number. To type sms messages you don´t have most of the times pacience to grab the stylus and type with keyboard, it´s a different procedure, most of the times you are on the run, that´s the concept of the sms message, a quick and practical way to contact somebody without calling...
thanks

hmm...
... strangely enough, the intellipad feature isn't working now, after having flashed to the latest Qtek 1.06 ROM :?
In the TO: field, typing letters does not seem to trigger an "auto-search"... which is what you described in your post above, amaro. This was working perfectly on my old ROM, though I did skip the auto-installation after hard reset, so maybe it has something to do with that.

never mind.. i fixed the problem with a soft-reset.

SMS sent messages again...
Kai, does the new ROM fixed the front speaker sound problems? How do you find the new ROM? Can you send sms messages with intellipad showing the reciever name and number?
Thanks

Amaro,
Do you mean the earpiece for normal phone calls? (and not the speakerone next to the mirror) If so, I can say with a definite yes that there have been improvements! I got one of the first XDA mini's locally and was treated to high-pitched distortions and crackling sounds, y'know, the types that threaten to blow your ear drums away if you're not careful. After the 1.05 RADIO update, I have not noticed any problems after 60 mins of phone calls. I cannot say it has eliminated the problem 100%, that will take more time, but as of now it is MUCH IMPROVED.
Click THIS for information and instructions how the 1.05 radio upgrade. Be sure to backup everything as it *WILL* do a hard reset after the upgrade, which I did not know about :roll:

The messages in "Sent Items" folder does not contain the number of the recepient. What it shows is the number of the sender (My cell number).
What is this? bug?

emailing contact details

I have pda for along time and I don,t know the answer to this.
Sometimes I want to sent a contcts details to a college. Youu can beam if they are standing next to you or if oyur lucky you can send them as a sms. Not always very reliable. Can you send them as an email, that would be great.
Any ideas or is it obvious and i am the last person to know.

I send contacts as vcard via sms. Easy for both sender end receiver And it has never failed me ...
Regards
Asbjørn

not always
I find it doesn't work with all phones. My friends on htc just didn't recieve them and now his iphone doesn't like them either. Email just seems to be the way forward for me and I am sure there must be away.

There actually sent as MMS if you look at menu in contacts it will send contact Via (it depends on the ROM ) or something similar, this will then show your mms screen and you just add recipient it will be sent as a Vcard which is attached and will have all the info of that contact

Yeah I know that the contacts can be sent as MMS but I wanted to send it as SMS, has anybody got any idea?!

If you go to contacts tab > all people > click on a contact > menu > send contact by message

Text message to contact's secondary number

Does anyone know if you can send a text message to a contact's secondary number?
i.e. if I had a contact
Mr A
Mobile: 123456789 (default)
Mobile2: 1232465933
Is there a way that I can select Mobile2 in the text message 'To' field. Currently it will only come up with the default number.
I know that you can send a message via the contacts screen.

I gave someone in my contacts list a faux secondary mobile number and when I start typing their name the Auto Complete finds both mobile numbers just fine. Am I understanding you correctly?

you can text that person through the Contacts app instead of Messaging.
Open Contacts then go to the specific contact then hit the secondery phone no.

Same here, just changed a contact so that two numbers were marked "mobile" and went to messaging, typed the first two letters of the contact name and both mobile numbers showed up for selection.

Thanks for the info, I was being a bit dumb, or rather didn't realise that texting only picks up contacts marked as mobile. Some of mine were marked as home etc...
Thanks again!

Hello,
Since this is the only place that has this problem raised on the web, I"m asking for your help. I have a htc rhodium, touch pro2.
I have the same problem that the other guy had but worse. I cannot change the secondary number to mobile. I have options for: home, company, work, car.. etc?
I cannot do it even via the contacts screen.
How do I resolve this?... :?
Please help anyone?
P.S. I know this is not the right subforum, but since it is discussed here....

You don't have the Dream, perhaps your phone don't even support multiple Mobiles as a choice?

It would seem so... ???
Although it seems very strange to me considering this is a business phone. Many people have dual mobiles.......
There has to be a solution....
I'll ask at even at the rhodium subforum....

Yes, many people have dual phones, but only one of them is meant for business.

not necessarily true..
I use both my phones for business. I divide contacts based on importance. But this is not a business discussion
and this problem means that I can send SMS to only one of those numbers, or make a new contact with a second number... time consuming
strange, very strange behaviour.
My very old nokia did not have this problem..
I really hope android gets ported to the rhodium, windows let me down again...
cheers

SMS adding contact?

Hi guys,
Just noticed how the Nexus, when i go to messaging and compose a new SMS i cannot view my contact list and select someone. Instead i need to type the first 2 letters of their name and they appear in a dropdown box. Is their no way to bring up the contact list and choose someone?
Thankyou

Download "Handcent SMS" from the market

sorry not what i asked. Just would like to know if it is possible or not as i cannot find any results via google.

Yeah, I don't understand the logic there either. Although you could just start in your contacts list and select the text message link from there. Still not as intuitive.

Find the person first, then type the message?

Thanks so i guess its not only me that finds this simply problem annoying. I hate it when i make a mistake accidentally hitting the wrong key and need to delete. Would be such a simple process just adding via contact list.

Well... yeah. Go to your contact list, find the person, and you have a centralized screen where you can choose, inter alia, to call, sms, or email them.

add contacts to sms
Assign your contacts a label i.e. home, mobile etc..
This will solve your problem.
You might have to do this individually for each contact.

[Q] Can't 'answer' text messages

Goodmorning,
I have Android 2.2 (Desire) on my phone. I really like it, but there is no App2SD. But that doesn't matter in this topic. (If anyone can help me with that, without losing my personal settings right now, i'll be happy ^^)
When i receive text messages, i see all contacts with a +31601234567 nummber. There is only 1 contact that shows me a 31601234567 nummer, without a 'plus' sign.
From that contact, I can't answer the text messages, if I make a new text message to that contact, (so just the number 0612345678) he will recieve it. If I click on the 'Reply' button when it shows the 31601234567 number, he won't recieve it.
I can't find it on the settings, and i deleted the contact on my whole phone, but when i recieve messages from him, it still shows me the 31061234567 number without a 'plus' sign.
He got an iPhone with t-Mobile, i got an HTC HD2 with Hi.
I'm using Go SMS Pro for texting.

does it do it in the default sms client?

is it so hard to ask in this thread?
