Why there are no pictures assigning to cotacts like other phones...
I must use third party software and Photo Contacts are so buggy, even latest version...
I just want to recommend me some good program that accept home screen contact pictures and ability to call that contact from home screen.
In Photo Contacts you are able only to send sms and even then it makes some problems (resesting, debug screen,...)

Are you sure? I have assigned pictures to some of my contacts.
check the second field from the top in the contact, right below the name field. It's there in both WM5 and WM6.
The same picture is used for Picture Speed Dial when you enable it.

I have to change the story since I discovered after getting a few mails, that the photo contacts application is gone, but it is no longer needed, since all information is now stored in the contacts. It is a lot better than before, because you only need 1 application.
I am using my Qtek2020 for almost 2 years now and one of the features I really liked was Photo Contacts. However, it doesn't work all the time, whatever I am trying to do. When I saw the first screen shots of WM2005 it showed a contacts application with photos. I tought that WM2005 would have solved the problems of 2003 and SE, but unfortunately it isn't true. Even worse, there is no photo contacts application any more in wm2005, unless I don't have the right roms.
I know that you can buy photo contacts from a vendor, but it used to be part of all the previous rom versions, what happened?
Does anyone have an idea about a good extended rom for wm2005?
thanks
You can assign photos and ringtones from the contacts, you must missed that in WM5.0
It's integrated in Contacts application
Check you contacts: the second or third line is called "change image". The same goes for ringtone...
Even better: now the image in contacts is synchronized with Outlook 2003!

Thanks guys,
but can you see a photo with an incoming or outgoing call?
Yes, you can!
otherwise it would be pretty useless to asign the pics
that is unless one had a poor memory and
would benefit from having a picture and name to go together when
trying to renember people

Hi guys,
thx to all, it works just fine and it is a lot better than ever before!
Making contacts picture bigger?
Anyone knows how to increase the size of the pictures or photos that we have assigned to the contact? It is really small...
Is there any way to switch the default method of sorting your top 15 contacts from alphabetically to an order in which you choose? The two people I call the most start with a high letter and it's really annoying have to scroll to find them. I much prefer the way contacts show up as multiple icons in the Manila 2D (or whatever it was called) version that I had on my Tilt
Thre things you might try:
1. You can put them on one of the speed dial buttons.
2. Or you can put an 'A" or "1" in front of their last names to make them sort to the top.
3. Or you can use photo contacts to dial by their picture.

If you do the above and sync to your desktop, your contact will not sort properly there where you probably do expect to see them in alpha order.

Speed Dial? I've missed that some where. How do you add people to speed dial?
just tried it - speed dials do not change the order
anyone solve this?
Why not put them in the "People" section?
I have about 10 contacts in there which I use regulary with specific numbers (i.e. text, work number etc) but you can open the contact to find other numbers.
Hope this helps?

I believe this is what he is referring to. He wants to be able to sort the 'People' tab in TF3D to his own liking. I was also wondering if this was possible earlier today when I had to flip through 8 contacts to get to the person I call most. Haha.
hi.
i know that there a many ways to change the standard contact application with another one(icontact for example).
so when i am on the quickdial/contact tab of manila, and push "all contacts" i can connect it with another application like icontact.
but when i push on a picture of a added contact, i can call this person directly or get the detail view. this detail view unfortunatly is the standard detail view of windows mobile. when i open a contact with icontact for example i get another detail view instead of the standard one.
is it possible to edit the contacts tabs that way that i get another detailview?
pushing up
I think I know the answer to this already, and if I'm right, it's a bit pap!
The Favourites tab in Manila 2.5 allows you to add contacts there, as per previous versions of Manila. The problem I have is that you can't just add a person. You have to add a contact method for a person.
For example, I add my mate Chris, but I sometimes call him, sometimes text him, and sometimes email him. In order to create a shortcut where I can do these things, I need to create one for each of them, and therefore have 3 shortcuts for 1 person.
I've really looked round to see if there are any settings that could change this crappy behaviour, but as far as I can see, it's just poo.
Anyone got any words of wisdom on this matter?
I'm not a fan of this little feature either, but the way I get deal with it is by tapping the NAME of the contact, not the contact picture. this will take you to the contact's info (i.e. the unified communications screen you normally get after selecting a contact) from there you'll be able to email/call/text them
1st and foremost. I love this phone (GPS issues aside) it's perfect and the greatest thing that has ever happened to me which is sad.
A few Android questions (I'm running Cog 2.2 B6 with Launcher Pro):
Is there a way to organize your favorites or am I relegated to alphabetized favorites list?
Is there a way I can go directly to dial my favorites?
I am coming from an iPhone and I can't figure out how to select text that is off of the screen. Example: This is a textbox with a senten (how do I get to where the "ce" in sentence would be?)
Can I get Facebook push notifications?
Sometimes the facebook app goes into normal webpage view mode when I'm looking at my notifications, is that a bug?
For the call log is there a way where I can only see phone transactions and not text. It looks like I can view by missed, dialed OR received calls but not all 3. Otherwise I have to view all my texts as well.
Thanks,
JOe K.

First keep in mind that the current Froyo is a leaked pre-release so there are some small bugs, such as the email app issue with exchange.Alright abou the selecting text that is off the screen, I am not sure what you mean by this as normally text is wrapped? what application are you having this issue in? I.E, the browser. as far as customizing your favorites layout, I do not believe there is an option for that, only to switch to grid view. What I do since I can have up to 7 home screens (I only use 4) I use one home screen as a favorite contacts list (not sure if you can do this on launcher pro but I would guess yes) hold click home screen and select add shortcut> select either a contact that will bring up the call/email/sms/mms/navigate (if there is an address for contact) or instead of selecting a normal contact you can select "Direct Dial" it will allow you to select a contact as before but when you hit this contact on the home screen, instead of getting the normal options it will directly dial that contact. it's actually a pretty nice way to manage your favorite contacts.
Hope this helps a little! also before I forget you know when looking at a contact (including in the favorites list) you can swipe to the right on the contact to call or to the left to sms. a couple other things, you can pinch inward on the home screen in Touchwiz to zoom out to tiles of your home screens and the same is true in the TW app list, zooms out too see all app pages. the swipe to call/sms works regardless of you using launcher pro though, good luck!
Good idea about the homepage dedicated for contacts. I set that up.
It seems my sim and my google contacts have duplicated many entries. Is it possible to combine the two, so I don't have a SIM entry and a Google entry?
Also, how do I associate a picture with a contact?
Thanks,
JOe K.
To join contacts go into the contact itself, hit the menu button and then join contact.
After you join the contacts you may want you can go into the contacts app, hit menu, more, then display settings. You can tell the phone what type of contacts you want displayed. The only downside is all contacts are displayed when spelling out a name using the dialer.

Perhaps I'll delete the entries out of my SIM card and then I'll be able to easily modify my G-Mail contacts list.
Do you know of anyway how to delete all the entries for a SIM card?
Also, I still don't know how to associate pictures?
The easiest way that I know the delete all of the contacts on the sim is to display only the sim contacts and hit the menu button then delete. Then click all of the contacts one at a time. Once you are done then go back and display the contacts you want active.
To add a picture go into the contact, edit, then click on the stock picture, should have a little plus in it, and this will let you either take a picture our use one from your library.

Also if you hve FaceBook and you sync it (the widget or what ever) when you set it up deselect add all conteacts and select the ones who are also in your phone contacts list. Then when you join the two contacts (your phone/google copy) with you Facebook contact of the same person it use the FB profile picture in your contacts list and will change as that person changes there FB profile picture, it will also show there current FB status. also if you go to the activities tab in contacts after syncing FB it will show all the recent wall posts ect.
