Big letters for Contact

When You are searching for a contact in your car the contact are so small you can hardly see anything. Is there something to find contacts easier?
For example A-- B--- C-- D-- (alphabet) whenn searching?
the same as in TOMTOM?
If U Aim Well Into the search box (Find a Name) and Have The onscreen Keyboard On BIG Letters then ya Shouldn't Have a problem Aye!
This is a simple sollution but when you are driving your car and you want to search a contact it still is not the best way. I need something for people how are for example blind! Searching in alphabet A and then For example D etc etc
If you're just using the standard Contacts application built-into the PDA, just open contacts, and scroll down with your directional pad. After a little bit of scrolling, the letters of the alphabet will apper.
That what you looking for?

hahaha, i didn't knew there was a function like that! but still hard to use when driving
Well, this might help: in Contacts, go to Tools, then Options, then put tick on "Use Larg Fonts".
This might help little bit!
If you are looking for a contact to dial then may I suggest you take a look at a program called FingerClix. Check it out at http://www.imaginet-software.com It allows you to type the persons name using a phone dialer style keypad. As the letters are progressivly typed the contacts matching are displayed. It also displays all number for the contact (mobile, home office etc.) and you can then press on the appropriate icon to make the call. It is a much easier single finger option for in car dialing.
Hope it helps.

Or do wat I did and nick windows voice command from a file sharing site and use voice commands to dial people
Or you could simply try this freeware found in the Kitchen.

Finger friendly email

Hello,
I was wondering if there's a finger friendly alternative to the Windows Mail application that is available for the Sprint Touch (Vogue). I would like to scroll through the message without using the scroll-bar, just like browsing web pages on Opera.
Thanks
threaded messaging works that way.. and if you have a good ROM flashed on your vogue, you can probably flow your messages even thru the regular outlook. if you're talking about SMS messages.. you can try using VITO SMSChat if the regular threaded messaging doesn't suit your needs.

I have the NFSFAN ROM in my vogue but I don't see my messages flowing in the regular outlook. I can go back and forth b/w different messages in outlook by finger gliding left and right.
Basically, while I'm reading the email message(not SMS) I'd like to be able to scroll up and down with finger flicker and not by dragging the scroll bar.
Strange, you should have biotouch working...
is it a WM6.1 rom?
nir36,
appreciate your responses. I have the latest NFSFAN rom for WM 6.1. The problem with reading e-mail in mobile outlook is if I try to scroll up or down by gliding my finger in the middle of the screen, I end up selecting lines of the message instead of scrolling.
Also, a very light finger flick causes all the lines of the message to go by really quick and all I see are the last few lines of the message. I want it to behave exactly like Opera where I can go up or down and left or right by simple finger glides.
Thanks once again.
If Vito-SMS chat doesn't work this way (no idea how the latest version is set).. I believe i can't help but to tell you to flash a WM6.5 ROM.. since the scrolling there is somewhat different.

Word Completion (Registry Hack?) on the HTC Touch HD

Hello
I own an HTC Touch HD device running on WM6.1.
I have loaded quite a few external applications such as Pocket Informant and Flexmail onto my device because they're a lot better than the inbuilt ones. However, the problem is that the Word Completion setting will not work in these programs. This is the setting that, once you've typed in two letters, starts to give you words on the screen that you can then tap on rather than have to type in full. It saves a lot of typing time so diary entries, e-mails and text messages can be more quickly inputted and sent.
I was wondering if anyone could let me know how I can enable word completion to be triggered in all programs through maybe a registry hack or any other means. I would be very grateful for your assistance.
Regards
Nigel
Same problem here wit ha P6500, anyone??

SMS composing "TO" field problem

Hello,
maybe somebody could help me and tell how to change the way, how contacts are displayed, when trying to write sms.
It is driving me nuts, because I hate that WM 6.5 is showing only one contact at lower end of sms and not like it used to do in WM 5 - contact list.
See attached picture to understand what I mean.
I would be very grateful if somebody could tell me how to get old style of contacts to show up... as I said - it is driving me nuts!
P.S. Now I am using TAEL ROM, but I have tried several others and all except one were the same.

Dialer, that rules 'em all

Hey.
So I've been looking or a dialer that basically supports all the features that Sense's one does:
- searching by name/surname/phone number
- displaying photo/facebook photo/gmail photo not just photo as most of available dialers do.
- scope through contacts
The one that almost supports all of them is TouchPal, but it seems that it does not show contact avatar from linked facebook account :?
Do you have any alternative?
I like GoContacts
Try Youlu Address Book..
Very nice dialer application...available free on Market
I tried them all, and none of them are perfect. They always miss one key aspect that Sense dialer handles very well and it's the only app I'm missing to switch to CM7. They either:
1) are terribly slow with T9 search through contacts or going through log or don't have scrolling handles to quickly scroll to certain letters
2) cannot search phone numbers
3) cannot search with accented characters and spaces
4) cannot search in the middle of the names
5) duplicating the output, if contacts have more phone numbers

Try GoContacts, as Fizzler73 suggested. Works very nicely for me since the post
Can search with accented character and spaces, middle names too and phones too
btw. I prefer to have duplicated contact when multiple numbers are present - that way I can tap on number I want to dial and I'm ready to talk. No additional selecting needed.

TouchPal actually supports facebook profile pictures, Since Android 2.2 the option to make data become private was added and facebook in it's never ending quest to annoy it's users marked ALL of it's data as private, so only stock apps ran by user 0 can access it...
this however is easily fixable all you have to do is modify the contacts table to not restrict fb contacts, here's the post with instructions.
Try Angel Dialer/Fast Dialer/Dialer One
i currently use Angel Dialer, but i have been using Fast Dialer for some time. its fast and works perfectly on CM7 Nexus One
