Hello,
I have a JY-UOS03N4GS.
I'm looking for a widget with which I can put individual contacts on the desktop to make a call with just one click. Have tried several, so far none has worked. Does anyone have something that works?
Kind regards
Dirk

I've got myself a new Vario, but I can't seem to get the contacts to sort by first name - is there any way to do this?
Sorry if this is a dumb question! I've been mucking about with it for ages!
Many thanks
Zakkz,
Welcome to the forum :wink:. Please read this introduction.
Here's a couple of links on your question.

yes it is possible,
even different ways to get this:
you can use a little freeware application 'File As First Last" that will be included in the default contacts applications. It allows you to save the contact by "firstname lastname" 'or even by company etc. The application can be found on pocketpcfreewares.com: http://www.pocketpcfreewares.com/en/index.php?soft=828
you could also change the contact settings on your desktop...within the Outlook contact, you can change the setting 'save contact as', there you can chose to use "firstname lastname"
yet another way to solve this problem is to use another application for your contacts. Pocket Informant is really very good! there you can easily chose to sort the contacts by "firstname lastname"...you can also chose to see the contact pictures in the list of contacts, which is really great I think!
and you've got many many other options and settings to change the calendar/contacts/tasks views...also a really great search function within Pocket Informant...try it for yourself...
CIAO!

Anyone know of a way I can use it without syncing my contacts?
I don't want it even touching my contact list as it adds all these contacts which I don't want on my device and when I remove them here it echoes the changes on my real desktop contact list. Luckily I had a contact list backed up on my desktop pc so I restored it.
So...anyone know how I can use Live Messenger Beta without letting it touch my contacts?
I guess you could disable the syncing of contacts altogether on ActiveSync?
It would stop any contacts syncing but it's the only thing that really comes to mind at the moment
It's a part of WLM, and I don't think you can disable it.

When I installed WLM it installed two programmes on start menu:
Windows Live Messenger and
Windows Live
If I select Windows Live it opens a screen which has Menu option. Within this is an Options setting that then leads to an option called "Sync Options" with this there are tick boxes to deselect synching contacts and e-mail.
Perhaps that might solve your problem?

That option is actually 'Sync Contacts and Messenger'.
All I want is the second part of that option...I want to sync messenger so it works but not my contacts.
I personally havent sync`d my contacts yet...but looking a bit deeper into this matter i found some registry keys that might help you.
Just open the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Service\Windows Live\Contacts\" there are a few options you can change. Maybe if you set the value "CanDoSync" to "0" it might actually stop syncing your contacts.

I just found this in a thread over in the Wizard forums.
Looks like maybe you don't HAVE to sync contacts anymore...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
I just thought I'd come an taunt all you none beta testers! j/k
The new mobile client is now out!!! It's available on the Microsoft Connect website, and it's pretty damn good...
Feel free to ask any questions about it, i'll gladly answer.
Some of the new features include:
- Contant sync isn't compulsory any more!!! although the contact sync is more intelligent now, and it's much simpler an faster to sort out the initial sync.
- LARGE speed boost.
- New today/home screen applet (Displays search box, and MSN avatar and contact info (All is optional))
- Windows Live config screen.
- Contact avatars (you can have your own now).
- Personal Message support.
- Original MSN Messenger seems to be left un-touched.

So any ideas when this version will be available.
I saw on that thread there are a few people experiancing the same problem. that the their msn contacts are getting added to thier device address book, which i find very annoying. and when you delete of the device it also deletes the contacts from your messenger list
if i was to get hold off msn messenger the one that worked on pocket pc 2002/2003, would it still work?
Dont suppose anyone would have it??
Where to download Live Messenger
Where can I download Live Messenger for the Hermes I have been looking and simply can not find it.
I saw on the connect website from Microsoft that there is a new version out since 16-12-2006. Has anyone been able to download this version already? If so, can someone give a review ?
Thanks
I've just applied to the beta program
hopefully I'm allowed in.
same i have also just joined. see what happens.
Could you guys upload the installer to the xda-devoloper ftp when you recieve it?
Somehow I'm not allowed to sign up for the beta. Perhaps it's the firewall here at school.
What are the latest news about it ?
Is this "contact sync problem" solved in this version and is this availaibe for download ?,
The versions I've tried you're still forced to sync with no other options
Plus theres been lots of problems even getting push with hotmail...the option just won't stick to "when they arrive" but stays on manual sync
is there an answer for this yet?
i would love to use windows live messenger, but hate getting some 250 contacts added to my contacts (in my phone)
/timmy
Just spent hours re-editing my contacts cos of live! eager to find a way of stopping it syncing but allowing me into messenger!
well is there a program that lets you put contacts into groups so that i could just filter all the live contacts?
a free one? or you know uhh one with a key?
falum: im the same as you, its a bastard to fix..
i wish this could be hacked at the moment, ive also found the WLM is pretty resource hungry, anyone else found this?

Why are these settings not the same, nor have the same options on what you would like to display? Or is it just me missing a setting somewhere?
On my Hero, I would deselect listing of my SIM-contacts, so I could still keep some numbers on the SIM card for easy access in other phones.
I can do this in the "Contacts" listing and in it this works just fine. The trouble is, I hardly use the Contacts app. The most easy way to dial someone is to use the Dialer, and within this, it shows all local, gmail, sim and even Facebook contacts. And I can't find anywhere to change the settings!
After a week of use, this is really starting to get annoying.
Anybody have the same problem, or know of a way to fix this?
So the question is, I want to use a contacts button that uses the Sense contacts on my quick links rather than have a People's tab. But the problem is when I go through CHT's add/remove I only see the standard winmo contacts (Referring to the app not individual persons). I tried using Resco File Explorer search to see if I could find the .exe but couldn't figure out which one it could be.

I think you have to copy your contacts to the phone because it will not see your sim contacts. I just did what you where wanting to do and it worked...but when I first got my phone I copied all the contacts to the phone and hid the sim contacts and it shows all my contacts and keeps the pictures in the quicklinks icon. Hope this helps
Thanks for the reply, but once again I'm not looking for individual contacts. I'm looking to use the full sense contacts app.

I am confused you are trying to make a quicklink that will take you to the people tab?! You might just want to make the people tab be one of the first ones...not sure what the order you have you tabs in but you can for to start settings personalize homescreen tabs..and move it.
Hello,
I set EVERY contact I have with Birthday information, and it is perfectly displayed on my X10 mini with cyanogenMod 6. On the Arc however, the birthday field is not shown. I do have a calendar with all the birthdays, but if you have no clue when someones birthday is coming up, this is a real pain in the ass...
Is the birthay only displayed on cyanogenmod or did S/// (for whatever reason...) disable this feature?
Is there a workaround?
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Linkin
I'm planning to buy Arc ( waiting for it to be available in my country ), and now I'm worried about this as I used to have Birthdays in any contact that I know his/her birthday...
BTW, does Android add a yearly calendar event when adding new birthday to a contact ?
the birthday entries dont get deleted, you just cant see them...
I enabled the option "birthday calendar of your contacts" so when you enter a new contact's birthday it will shop up there, but unfortunately you cant enter it with the xperia arc (at least at the moment...)
Does someone have a solution to this?
I don't have Android yet but I believe there's some apps in the market that will let you do so
yeah, another dialer app might help. But isnt there a way to fix this another way?
If not, can someone tell me, whats the name of the gingerbread stock dialer or give me some tipps?
ok as a solution does anyone have the possibility to give me the apk files for the contacts/dialer app from cyanogenmod 7?
I didnt find them :/
well, since there seems no option to change this, I did the following:
Contapps can show you the birthdays:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.contapps.android&feature=search_result
I tried A LOT OF CONTACT APPS, and this is the only one I found which does show the birthdays, but the way: it seems to be a really good app!
Ebobirthday shows and can give you a reminder for birthdays:
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.ebomike.ebobirthday&feature=search_result
Keep testing it, but since Contapps does most of it, I think I'll remove it!
Nevertheless: if someone can offer me an apk file to the default gingerbread contact app, I would really appreciate it!
