Hi all, when I receive a phone call from an unknown number, I can open the
context menu for this call in my call history and create a new contact with this
new number. But is it possible to add this new number to an already
stored contact, like it is possible with Symbian devices?
Greetings and TIA, Matthias
Select "Send text message" from context menu then copy the number at "To:" box. Open new contact then paste the number from clipboard.
no "out of the box" solution, without clipboard?
since i was using the SEP900, it was very easy for me to that, but now i have to do it like the mentioned way.
i couldn't find a dirct way to do it.
too bad, but thx anyway!

Say a person that is not in my contact list calls me on my XDA, although I can see the number in the phone application, I cannot just copy it or easily create a new contact using the number unless I write it down on paper first, a bit of an oversight by MS or am I missing something?
you can do it by going into call history and pressing and holding with the stylus on the number you want to save.

And what to do if I want to add the number to an existing contact?
Is there a solution?
Thanks in advance for the answer,

Think you are stuck unless there is some third party software that can do it.
Hi all,
@Urosh:
Just create a new contact the way junglejim discribed, open this new contact, mark the number, press and hold pen, copy the phone number to the other contact. Thats all. Without using a paper to write the number down.
Perhaps it is a long way to get there, but it works.
Greetings, Kaputter :shock:
How about; press-and-hold, then select 'send sms', then copy from 'to' field into your existing contact.
Still a bit long, but getting there!
hi
I want to add a number from Call History to one of my existing contacts (i.e, add to home telephone of an existing contact)
However, when hold and tap number in Call History, it open a new contact instead of letting us choose an existing contact
Any program that can let us do that
My device is O2 XDA IIi
Thanks

There isn't any way around this, though maybe there will be in WM2005 or through a third party program.
It's something that annoys me, too. The way round it is to get it up as a New contact, then copy the number and cancel saving the contact, go to the correct contact and add it that way.
Bit long winded, but other than writing it down by hand or remembering it I don't think there's any other way.

Hey Guys..
Simple trick....
Tap and hold the number in the call history
Then select option "Send Text Message"
Then copy/cut that Number and paste in the contacts
Then cancel the message
I hope, this sounds OK
Hey guys,
I was wondering if its possible to add a sms button next to the little phone button below a contact in the "Peoples" Tab in TF3D...???
It would be great not to tap the contact and have the Microsoft contact window popup and then do "send text message"...
When you add a contact to that page, you can select the "Send a text..." from the contact's lists instead of their cell/work/home #. It will then take you to the SMS composer when you tap the line under their picture.
Unfortunately, you can't have more than 1 of any contact in there, so you can't have one for calling and one for texting. Hopefully someone will find a way to extend the functionality a bit more... maybe the next TF3D revision?
Hi all,
I often get SMS messages like "one missed call from +43650989898989", but I want to see the name instead of the number. Is there an app which can do that?
I use CM7, no special apps. My contacts are all stored with country code (+43bla).
At the moment I have to click on the number, the phone app opens and I have to call the number and then I get the contacts name displayed on the screen, which is really annoying.
Thanks!

Is there an easy way to add a new contact from a txt? What I mean is, say you get a txt from someone not in your contacts. Instead of their name, their number shows up. Is there a way to make a new contact with them without have to write the number down and adding it manually?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
don't think so...you have to copy it and then paste into the dialer and then save to contacts
When your in the txt message, press menu key and then you'll get the option add to person, and then make a new contact with that number. That is how it works with mine so it should work on yours to.
short press on the message from the number that isn't in your contacts, then select add contact.
