Hi,
I have a K-Jam with the latest Rom but I have a problem with the "To:' box that when I type a name in some name show up but not all of them that are in my contact list.
I thought it would be maybe because of categories but no as all my contacts are categorized.
If I actually click on the To: link it brings up the full contact list with all the names...but jsut entering letters of the name in the initial box only brings up certain names.
Anyone knows what the deal is with that and how to fix it please ?

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!
hi everybody,
I have started facing a new kind of a problem with windows ROM 6.1 version. in this version when, if in a contact more than one number is saved and a text message is recieved from any number of that contact, nobody can figureout from which among the two numbers it is from!!! for eXample:
If i receive a message from a contact named DAD having three numbers in that contact namely 1. office number,
2. Airtel mobile number,
3. Vodafone Mobile number
then it is impossible to enquire that from which among the three numbers did actually the message came!
Is there any way of removing the CHATBOX type of view of 6.1 version ROM and restoring it to the initial and original type of view? if anybody knows the way, plz reply.
Thanks
yeah im looking to remove that from sms aswell
when i try to find a word in a sms and the filter does not find it
want normal sms view, dnt like wm6.1 sms system.

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone know a way to change the contact list from "by last name" to "by first name".
I'm an idiot with my friend's last name so its easier to search for contacts by 1st name.
If you know how to change the setting or if theres an app for it, please let me know... THANKS!!!
Probably not much use to you but I always store my contacts with their full name in the 'last name' field and leave the 'first name' field blank. Then they're displayed by their first name but of course it's coming from the 'last name' field.
Obviously going back and changing all your contacts to this format would probably be a PITA.
Maybe this post will help you: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=555115

You could try this:

It works for me.
It will modify "File as" for all the people in your contact list.
outlook
also in outlook. When editing a contact, you can change there to be shown by first/last name
For most of my contacts, when I go to compose a new message and begin typing their name, their name shows up multiple times on the list.
I have gone into settings and only chosen "My Contacts" in gmail to show, which has each of my friends listed only ONCE, but some may have multiple numbers under their name (such as phone & google voice number). If their GV number shows up alongside their actual number it's not a problem, since it's only very few of my friends and sometimes I actually want to send a message to their GV instead of their phone.
The problem is that for contacts that I just have listed once in My Contacts, which most have only one number attached to their name, they'll show up twice and sometimes three or four times in the list.
For example:
- I have John Doe in My Contacts under gmail, and his number is +1-555-666-5555.
- I type "John" in the contact part of my text, and the following shows:
John - (+15556665555)
John Doe - (+15556665555)
John Doe - (+1-555-666-5555)
The name and number are obviously changed, but wtf.. why does it show up in various forms if I only actually have the last one in gmail?
i think it might be syncing off any linked accounts you have? such as Facebook maybe. you can go into the [John Doe] contact wherever u see multiple of the same #'s and you'll prob see the number show there multiple times too, reason is because some people have their # listed on their FB account and thats prob syncing into ur address book too. and their FB default name might be the other name showing, as opposed to like the nickname or w/e you'd use for them on your address book.
Thanks for the help, but that's not the issue. I made sure to go into Display Options and uncheck everything but "My Contacts" under Google. The problem still persists.
I know it's not a rom issue, because the same thing happened to me as soon as I got the phone.
Also, in the example I used (the name and number were changed, obviously), the friend I was looking at only had one number listed in the contacts list on gmail, yet it still shows a few variations on my phone.
Not really a big issue, just a nuisance.
How can you specify which Name should be displayed when linking contacts in WP7?
According to MS this should be possible (see ***.microsoft.com/windowsphone/en-us/howto/wp7/people/link-two-or-more-contacts.aspx)
"When you link two or more contact cards that have different profile pictures or names, you can choose which picture and name will represent the whole. To learn how, see Add a picture to a contact."
But there is only a description for the contact picture, not for the names...
Does anybody know how to do that?
Cheers

Open the desired contact and then tap "edit" in the bottom bar. Right beneath the profile picture you'll find "name". Tapping that opens a form where you can enter first name, last name etc. That name will be displayed in your contacts hub according to the settings you made for how your contacts are shown (last name first and so on).
Thanks for your reply, but i doesen't quite answer my question. I know that I can edit this information, but thats not what i want.
I'll try to be a bit more specific:
I have a Windows Live contact with the name 'abcd' and an Outlook contact with the name 'Aaaa, Bbb'. On my phone i linked these two contacts (since they represent the same real person). But my phone always uses the name from the Live contact. When I edit the image, i can choose if i want the image from the Live account or from the Outlook contact (and from what i understand from the MS doc this should be possible for the name as well).
-> the only workaround I found so far, is to delete the name entry form the live contact. (Contact -> edit -> edit Windows Live -> delete)
Can't test it right now (on a different phone) but it depends on what linked profile comes first.
For example I link a Live and Facebook contact and to show the Live name, it needs to be the first one... if any of that made sense.

Yeah,... I know what you mean, but the live contact is always the first in the list. It doesn't matter if I select the Outlook contact first and then add a link to the Live contact or the other way round.
Can you reorder them?
Something not quite right linking contacts.
Linking contacts seems only half implemented.Ive also had this problem,renaming the linked contact card only works sometimes, but always renames the first linked contact, I dont wont that.Also there does nt seem to be any logic to which name it chooses for the card.I ve stopped linking contacts anyway because in text messages you get several message threads from the same person with no idea of what number its from to text or call back ( if they have more than one mobile number ). Lastly I would like to be able to rename the catergory of the number ( Mobile,Company, etc ).Because I would like moblie 2 or Work Moblie.I Hated having to look at the phone numbers all the time to decide which one is right to use.

Sorry if I can't see it on my WP7 device atm, but I do remember being able to use the Facebook profile first and the Live profile came second.... have ya tried open Outlook contact, press link and then chose the Live contact ?
im not quite sure what u mean but here goes:
if you have 2 contacts. One is named ABC and the other one is AB. If you want to link them both but keep the ABC name, then you need to go to ABC and link it with AB.
Similarly if you want to keep the AB name, then u need to go to AB and link it with ABC.
