Hi, does anyone know how to change back the option for a contact where I accidentally put someone instead of a phone number for their text option, I placed an email address for one of the 5 favorite people on the edge screen options. Then I chose for all times instead of one time only which would be able to ask again next time. I dont see any place where I can reset the default option. Now can I click on that person to send a text, it automatically populates an email address instead of a phone #.
Thanks,
Bill
Do you mean if you go in to Contacts, select the contact in question. Tap "More" top right and choose "Mark Default". This allows you to choose the default number.
Thanks Chris, that did the trick

Hi, This is an easy one but couldn't find anything in the forum searches probably wrong key words, but how do you select multiple receipient when sending a txt msg without having the need to go back to menu - add receipient - there has to be an easier way?
Thanks
After you enter the first receipient, just start writting the name of the secondone in the field To, a list will be displayed with your contacts list, just select the one you want; go ahead untill you have added all the contacts you want.
Hope this help ...
Regards
You can also press select (d-pad center) immediately after selecting a contact while you are in the TO field and it will take you back to your contacts where you can search.
hi guys
i have a few questions about the HD2
1) can i assign different ringtones to different contact groups
( i did not see it in the group options )
2) i tried to send a file to a friend using bluetooth , in the file options there was a send... option but it didn't specify send with BT , mms , email
and when i tried to send the file it said it was to big ( BT is not supposed to have size transfer limit )
i think thats it for now
thanks in advance
hey for the 2nd one i could help
press and hold the file you want to send and it should come up with a pop-up menu which should have send file vie bluetooth at the top (or something like that)
i recently sent over a 18mb file and it worked fine.

Use SIP Change to make the keyboard permanent.
There's also touch pal but i don't like it. Finger keyboard is pretty good.

Hiya...firstly for the Group Setup:
1. Select "Phone" text link at bottom of main page.
2. Select "All People" text link at bottom of phone.
3. Slide the bottom task bar across to the third icon, the "group" icon.
4. Select the "New" text from the option box to create a Group Name.
5. Select the "Add" button and select all the people you want to assign to group.
6. Select "Done" at bottom of phone.
7. Select "Done" for the second time.
You can repeat this for all the groups you want to set up.
For the ringtones:
1. You can either go to "All People" list...as above.
2. Select the persons namefrom the Group you have set up.
3. Select "Edit Contact" on screen.
4. Scroll down the page...you can now assign a "ringtone" from the option box.
And finally, to transfer your contacts from your SIM:
1. Select "Phone" text link at bottom of main page.
2. Select "All People" text link at bottom of phone.
3. Select the "Menu" text link at bottom right of phone.
4. Select the "Import SIM Contacts" from the pop up menu.
Now have a cold drink and sit back and admire what you have just done!

Seems like you are assigning a ringtone to the contact, not to the group. I can't find a way to do it for a whole group.

When a new text msg comes to ur msg inbox folder from an unknown number which is not there in ur contacts list and now i want to store that number. How to do as there is no option to store the new number.
Go to "start", "settings", "personal", "phone", "advanced"......tic box new phone number......
Not 100% sure it does the job when receiving an SMS....and phone number must be visible ofcourse.....not hidden
This is helpful when u get a call from unknown number and you can save it, but it will not work out when u get a sms from unknown number
Tap on the Number from the message view and it shows you the option - Save to Contacts.
Its still not working
When i tap on the msg in msg view i am not getting "Save to Contacts" options
I am getting options like "Delete" "Reply" "Reply to all" "Forward" "Move"
I am using HTC Touch 2 phone.
I use the same phone, Ganesh and I am able to do it.
When you open the msg to read - It shows you the heading on the top line -
Conversation with XXXXX.
The next line reads -
XXXXX (TIME): actual msg displays here.
Now if you click on the second line which shows you the number & time; that will take you to the options of saving address: (in this case the number)
1. Send Email from Outlook
2. Search Address Book
3. Save to Contacts
On clicking the Save to Contacts, it takes you to another screen to add as a new contact or update existing contact.
I am getting it now
I was tapping and holding it for a while so i didnt get the "Save to contacts" options
I just need to tap once and i am getting "Save to Contacts" options
Thanks a lot dude
Glad to be of help.

So when setting up the people widget, is there a way to set up a shortcut that automatically calls someone, and another shortcut that automatically texts the same person?
Say, for example, I set up 2 different people widgets, on 2 different screens. On one screen, I have the people widget full of people and it's set to automatically call them on their mobile phone. On the next screen, I have a people widget with all the same contacts, but it's set to send a text message instead of call.
Is this possible? I can't figure out how to change the default action on 1 of them in the widget without changing it for that contact in all of the widgets.
It would sure be nice if I could have a screen full of contacts that have the default action as a text message, and another screen with the same contacts with the default action being to call them.
I set up 2 different groups- 1 called VIP, and the other called VIP text, but changing the default action of a contact in one of them changes it in the other too.
Sure you can do that, only don't use the widget. go to home screen long press, then select shortcut then person, then select your contact then when the contact screen comes up select a number then that shortcut will be put on the home screen, if you select one of the message numbers then that shortcut will text somebody. the other option is to use the quick contact option at the bottom of the contact screen this will put a shortcut icon on the home screen when you touch that icon a submenu will open that will give you the option to call text email or even navigate to that contact, there is also a subicon that will allow you to go to that contacts contact card, play around with it im sure you will find it is very easy to set it up the way you want.

Yeah, I know you can do it that way. I am trying to use the Widget though because it lets you add a whole group. If I could get it to work the way I want, I could add a group for calling, then a group for texting in another widget, and be done. Doing them 1 at a time takes a lot longer.
I replied in your topic at AndroidCentral, lol.
I've heard that the People widget can cost you some battery %'s...
The HTC People Widget scrolls though and lets you organize it by groups, so... I guess it's better in that case.
So I had received text message that I wanted to forward. I pressed and held the text, selected "Forward" from the menu, and I get the "to" box and the body, but where are my contacts? I can't select a contact to fwd the message to, can you?
Tapping the "to" box just brings up swype, and taping the little contact icon does nothing.
Help!
update--- okay, so apparently the samsung messaging app on this phone sucks, but fwd'ing happened to be my first run in with it. When I click on messaging from the home screen, then "compose new" @ the top, I can't select from a list of contacts. Instead, I have to start typing out the name of who I want to send it to in the "to" field and find them in the drop down autofill list. Also, the name that appears at the top next to the "contact" icon only shows the first name entered.
So, it would appear this is more along the lines of an annoyance with their program than a bug. Can anyone confirm these issues? Is it maybe just that my contacts aren't synced correctly or something?
