Dear Vijay,
Can we file two mobile nos for a single contact? assume that all other fields viz home1.2, Work1.2 etc are already occupied
hdubli - if all available number fields are full, then not easily. If you need that many telephone numbers, you could write a custom plugin or app that would store a string of telephone numbers in a text string with a seperator, eg:
+44 7870 XXX | +359 12345 | +69 546
etc. Then, save that text string in a relatively unused number or text field (eg Home Fax?) in Pocket Outlook, and have your custom plugin present an interface to choose which number from the string to dial/select, eg dial second number in the list. Your app would then parse out the second number from the list.
That would work and be relatively operating system consistent. But, it would have to be a custom written app.
V
Thanks for the reply,
Is it possible that I store the Phone nos with the sepertors as informed above and dial from contacts? You know any app else can u make such app...I am not good in coding as u are..
hdubli - I've never seen an app that can do it, and a custom plugin would have to be written to dial from contacts in this way.
I could possibly write it, but it would take time I don't have right now - do you really have that many phone numbers to store per contact?
If you've hit the limit (9 phone numbers per contact I think), try saving the contact twice, eg
Vijay (1) with 9 contact numbers
Vijay (2) with another 9 contact numbers = 18
It's not perfect, but it's easier for me :wink:
V
That's right...Just tell me can we add a custom field in the Outlook so that when we sync it adds that field in our device...
So this important 'FileAs' omission has been a problem for about 2.5 years, yet MS still haven't had the time to fix it? I am impressed
Yup, fileas is a pain in the ass, as with many of the problems with Windows Mobile and Smartphone: however, I guess we basically have to live with the problems. I lose count of how many bugs have never been fixed.
Oh, hdubli sorry for the slow response. As far as I know, we can't add custom Pocket Outlook fields.

It's so a shame that more 4 years have passed and there's no solution for this yet that I had to ressurrect this old, old thread.
Now in WM 6.1 there's still no default setting for 'File as' contacts. Plus I also have to complain about how WM phones display area codes.
It annoys me a lot because all these default settings seem to be made for U.S., but in most other places we choose to remember the first name and not the family name of our friends, and also 3-digit area codes don't apply.
This will fix them all at once... found it floating around
finally
works great!! (may need restart)
install
programs >> contact fix
set it as you like
done
BIG thanks (searched for a way to resolve this problem, weeks)

The |last name, first name| filing was probably used for business purposes. You would have many contacts that are not necessarily your friends and you would look them up by last name.
Would be nice to change it...
I've made a tool to activate email (built-in) and start syncing.
Tested only on WM2003, not sure if it would work on WM5.
Usuage: SyncAccount "MailAccount"
Using this, you can activate email, and sync with the push of a single button
makes life easy ;-)
Program here is delivered as is, use at your own risk.
i'm not gonna make any further improvements, as this suits my own needs as is.
happy mailing 8)
runs on my wizard... very good!
Heimiko: I made a similar app in VJPhoneShortcuts a while back. Did you manage to activate syncing even when the current account has been changed, eg, if the user switches to SMS, have you got it to switch back to email before syncing? I got too busy to figure it out at the time
V
Hai vijay555,
I did manage that, yes, even though SMS account is enabled, it will switch to the email account, and start syncing from there on....
I use your VJDialer app, and I wanted to use email in the same sort of way... couldn't find it anywhere, so.. here ya go ;-)
Good stuff. I'll look into it. I've never used my pda for email, but a few guys were asking for this facility.
V
vijay555:
No need, here's how to:
tmail.exe -Service "MailAccount"
tmail.exe -Sync
call those 2 after each other. Don't use them in a single call, because as soon as you use -Sync, the mail app wont be activated (not brought to the foreground).
so.. 2 * CreateProcess is all that's needed
Nice nice nice!
I was doing it in such a dopey way, as ever.
Is it ok for me to implement this into VJPhoneShortcuts? There's a couple of extensions I want to add, but it's a much neater then the way I was doing...
I'll give you full credit of course
V
Sure... no problem. Cool me being somewhere in those credit lines ;-)
I guess you actualy search for the button on that Doc and send a WM_CLICK to it... ? i was thinking in that direction at first, but then, i knew there had to be a simpler way. If you google for "tmail.exe command line", you'll find some other stuff, as you can see, tmail.exe can already do natively what you do with your phone tools, sending emails, sending sms's, etc. all from command line. (you just need to know how, hehe). But then, you can't ever find this -Sync option... that was trail and error to find out... i tried lots of different keywords, lolz. Weird that its not documented anywhere.
Anyway, use it wisely ;-)
Yes, the original VJPhoneTools were done in the same way through tmail.exe, but I've never used the email so never thought about doing -sync it through the command line. For someone who does everything through the command line, I was so stupid not to think of it
Many thanks.

vijay555 one request with your phonetools. Can you give identifiable icons to each function? I have shortcuts on my today but cant distinguish which icon does what. So maybe a mail icon for checkmail? Thanks
VJPhoneShortcuts will be remade shortly.
VJPhoneTools: I think they do have different icons don't they?
V
vijay555, sorry i actually meant vijayphoneshortcuts. The icons are all the same, of a cell phone. I use check email and speed dial and they look the same in my today launcher.
efjay: I'll try to fix the icons shortly. I'm actually just about to throw in a whole load of new features and finally put in WM2003/Wm5 dual compatibility. Heimiko's generous info has given me a reason to finish it, I've been sitting on the almost finished code for so long.
However, it's likely to be only one app, so one icon, but with about 8 functions. So you might have to set up your own icons (if I can find some relevant ones I will). However, have a look at this thread for info on how to set up nice icons etc for your shortcuts.
V
ok, thanks for the link. look forward to the new version.
Heimiko, I use your SyncAccount program and it is great, but I wonder if there is any way to get the email to start syncing without bringing the tmail.exe program to the front as if this happens I dont get any notifications - I run SyncAccount with a scheduler, so the PPC screen isn`t on.
sure, to do that, don't run SyncAccount, run this commandline instead:
\Windows\tmail.exe -Service "MailAccount" -Sync
Doing this will do exactly what you just asked.
g'luck ;-)
Wow as simple as that, thanks to you.
Thanks!
\Windows\tmail.exe -Service "MailAccount" -Sync
is very helpful!
Is there a way Empty Deleted Items along the same lines? In particular, I would like to have a single shortcut that first empties deleted items and then checks the mail in my pop3 account.
The other thing I would like to do is run activesync's connect via bluetooth as a single command, rather than navigating to that item.
I`m not sure if there is a single command to run Activesync via BT, but there is a program called SKSchema www.s-k-tools.com that is like the windows scheduler and will allow you to set up a load of things to run at a regular interval or just when you click an icon, it`s very powerful.
This is what I wanted with the check email in background command.
Note!
You have to enter the shortcut correct with Sync at the end. And correct LetterCase!
\Windows\tmail.exe -Service "MailAccount" -Sync
I have had problems, but not til recently, but i heard a month or so there were some.
I waited, until a friend (with Verizon) (I am with Tmo) told me she called in, they said that there was in fact a Yahoo problem, they fixed it over the phone by giving some new server settings?
FOR ME, I expected the same...I called Tmo, to get to Tech support was horrific. They then had me goto Yahoo Mobile, download an email App
Once done, I had a new icon, simply a Mail (yahoo) icon INSTEAD of an Email icon to use. I could pick which one???
1. Does this make sense? Was Verizon right, are there some server settings, changes I need to make (symptoms, you may ask: waiting, NOT 5 minutes, but sometimes an hour, sometimes NO messages. Some were from the forums)
So do I need to enter some setting changes OR use the new icon OR use whatever icon I want, downloading the app itself fixed it??
2. Within that application, can someone explain a few things??
a) What is "contact email" -- is it email directly in the inbox from contacts only, and if there was one from Joe Smith, not a contact, it would not list it?
b) What is the Picture Email?? whoooahh LOL this could get me in trouble. I saw emails pop up from a year ago I sent. Some were ones I sent / some were ones I received. But where did they come from. How do I get better hold on these.
Am I the only one in the world who ever got the shock of his life using Yahoo or an app like this. Thank God I caught it.
Thanks for listening.. I can't always express it easily. I am not a great writer. So forgive me.

1) When I tried to make a phone call, I click on Contact - except that I see a big list of people imported from all over the place, even some has no telephone attached to it. I can filter out by source, but is it possible to make it so that when you are making a call, only contact with telephone is shown?
Now I have Exchange and facebook contact list. Facebook usually does not have a phone associated. If I include both then when I am making a call I have a rather huge list to go through. If I exclude facebook then I cannot see them in the "Picture" app. The contact filter seems to be global.
2) Is there anyway to check out other region's marketplace, or apps in Chinese in general (without the name of the app).
3) Is there a way to show the status permanently. My area has weak cell phone coverage so when I want to make a call, I want to make sure there is 2 bars at that location. It is annoying to click something just to see this info when every other phone does not need to.
4) There seems to be no way to adjust ring volume by itself, which is a total W T F when you considered my 15 years old Nokia can do that! .
1-in settings goto applications,then people click on filter my contact list then uncheck Facebook or any other accounts where the contacts may not have numbers, then uncheck only see posts from people in my contact list.
2-I'm always seeing apps in Chinese in the marketplace. as for filtering probably the only way to do so from the phone is to change the region settings. the web marketplace is a different story tho.

1) If I filter out facebook then, then in the Picture app and I choose from Contact then I won't see the Facebook contact list.
2) can you eleborate the web marketplace method please? Also my phone does not have a Chinese region to change to.
3. Nope
4. Nope
The first two were answered by others
Sent from my T8788 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
3) There might be an app in the near future similar to the network dashboard tiles, but so far, there is no way to do it.

嗯嗯``我觉得这个室友问题
This application is to know your friends location, or allow your friends to access your location (secured using a access password).So when you have this app in your phone, u need not make phone calls to inform others where you are, your friend can request your location, or you can send your location, manually/automatically using SMS. So only one side needs internet connection, the other phone need be an android too. give it a try and rate it !
Now you can send your location to all the people who may want to know! Whereabouts detects your location using your phone’s built-in GPS and sends an SMS to any number of your choice, at time intervals of your choice. Are you the worried Mom who wants to know where her daughter is? Are you the guy who wants to let his love-struck girlfriend know where he is? Or are you just a starving customer wondering where his pepperoni pizza is? Worry not, for we have the perfect solution for you. Whereabouts. Because we know you care.
CASES where this app might be useful
REQUESTING ADDRESS WHENEVER U WANT
=>A parent sets the child's phone with this application and set a password . Parent can send the password of the child's wherebaouts as SMS and instantly get the location of the child as a reply SMS without her/his knowledge.
=>Wanna know if your bf/gf is cheating you by telling you a wrong location when u ask him/her where he/she is? You can always cross check with this application. All you need is his/her whereabouts password. And you need not even make a call to ask him/her where he/she is. Just send his/her password as a SMS, u will get his/her location as a reply without bothering him/her.
AUTO SEND IN A TIME INTERVAL
Can be used according to the user's interest.
-> when you are driving to your friends house, keep him/her updated that you are nearing his/her house by sending your location details through SMS at a given interval of time. (eg) if i select my my friend from contacts, and start auto send mode with 5 mins as interval, it will send my location to my friend for every 5 minutes as a SMS. So that he wont call me and disturb me(while driving) about how long i will take to reach him.
The APK file is attatched. Enjoy !
Hi, I would like to test this app but I cannot instal... Download is fine, but button "instal" is greyed...
Would you help?
Thanks , Samsung galaxy note, ICS 4.0.3
