I have a small problem with the touch pro..
in my contacts i have several contacts with the same first name but different last names.
in my TyTnII, when writing an SMS or email, in the to: space i used to write the first two characters of the first name, space then one or two of the last name then i usually get the required contact.
in teh Touch pro, it's different, i write the two letters from the first name, it doesn't show all the contacts with the same first name.
when i put space it chooses the name displayed, it doesn't give me the chance to enter the second name.
this is really irritating me.
do you have a solution for this?
You know that you can use the arrows on either side of the one it finds first so you can scroll through the rest, right?
Not quite what you're wanting, but you didn't mention it, so, just in case!
this is exactly what I'm doing, but it doesn't show all the contacts...
that's why i have to find a way to enter the second name.
start typing with th last name, not the first.
this works for me
hmmm...
starting by second name was OK for some names, but it does no good when there's a contact who's first name is the same like another contact's second name.... (seems complex now)
it directly chooses the first one!!
i guess if someone has the CAB file for the messaging software same as TyTnII, it would be the ultimate solution for me.
can anyone help please?
Maybe I'm naive and unknowledgable on this, but wouldn't something like this be something to put forward to HTC support? They most likely will not solve it for you right away, but at least they would have a record of this being an issue and might rethink the software and give the user an option between which selection method is used.
If you tap on the "To:" it brings up the contacts app and you can browse for and select your intended recipient from there.
Hope that helps
I accidentally discovered a solution!!
after writing the first couple of letters of the first name, then CTRL+SPACE, then the first letters of the last name....
CTLR was the trick... as SPACE alone would choose the first displayed name.
thanks all for helping.
I have contacts with the same format as yours. I usually type the first two or three letters of the first name, then use the down arrow on the QWERTY. I haven't tried the virtual keyboard yet, but sure the D-pad would work in the same fashion.
FYI for those with similiar issues. It does only reflect one name at a time, but does let you scroll the contact list.
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
Hi in here.
Im quite tired of that the phonebook shows my contacts with last name first an first nam last.
You can change that manually if you choose your contact and presses edit contact. Then scroll down to more, and then your are in the original wm settings. Here can you edit to first name will be shoved first.
Aint there a fix there does that automaticly to my contacts.
Im tired of doing it manually to each contact.

Hi,
If I'm right, I think you need to organise your contacts within M$ Outlook in a way that they are stored First Name first.
If this is how you synchronise your contacts then what you want to look for within Outlook , on each of your contact details, is the 'file as' option and select your preference.
I'm not sure if there is a universal way of changing this for all contacts, I only tried doing it one by one.
I hope this helps

Hi you guys
I've tried to search how to organize favorites contacts in manilla 2.5.
By default, pictures are arranged by name and only first name is displayed.
If you haven't picture associated, you will only see first name, so you don't really know who it is!
I'de like to rearrange contacts as i like, does someone think it is possible and if so can you tell me how please ?

Organize your contacts outside of your device, then sync them to your device.
Thank's for your advice Bruce but how do you want me to arrange contacts outside the phone.
The only thing i can do is to change the first name

Tried to install but appears only the cake with "0" inside. Tried to reset but it seems that doesn't read birthday from contacts.
Any tips ?
wow MoonNah very very nice widget. Was looking for this a long time. but I do have a problem. this widget automatically shows my first contacts in the phonebook, but not those who actually have their birthday, furthermore when i push the sms button, nothing happens and one last thing. it is not possible to move it past half of the screenheight in edit mode
maybe you know, what may cause this

You have contacts in the phone or SIM card, the widget reads only from the phone.

The right-wing will become active only if today is the birthday, otherwise they are inactive. Activity you will see when the contact and date of birth will be green as a 4 screenshot first post.
With moving down, we must analyze not pay attention.
Else you have described must be corrected by clicking on the widget and updating of data widget.
Updated the cab makes it possible for a bug with the inability to move the widget to the bottom of the layer. Look 1 post.
Hi MoonNah,
very well done, thank you. I have to try it because there are so many people around me, which birtday i forget every time .
One hint for the naming convention of widgets (actual).
old_ = BL_Group BirthdayWidget.cab
new = CHTW_BL Group_BirthdayWidget_v1.0.cab

the moving down works now^^ but the other problem still remains. I let the widget show 3 contacts in sms mode. The widget is simply displaying the first 3 contacts in my contacts list. Furthermore the numeber displayed in the cake of those three people is alway 410. and their birthday is all the sam which is the first of january 1601^^ and I know that this is not the case^^
I wasnt sure what you meant with updating the data widget. I clicked on the widget, but nothing happenend. I even tried it with 3G active but still nothing
Edit:
All these three persons had no birthday inserted, dont know why But now I changed the birthday and the one contact really works. So by default it seems to be, that if there is no birthday inserted the birthdate is the 01.01.1601.
But still....a friend of mine has his birthday in 4 days, but he is not displayed. The birthdate is of course inserted. I dont know, but shouldnt the widget display the next birthdays?^^

Who does not work please send me a widget on [email protected] their contacts database (file pim.vol), to identify causes of errors, after testing ensures removal of these bases.

after reinstalling it works now^^ sry to be bothering you the whole time^^ but the default date for a contact without a birthday inserted is qutite annoying. The widget does show 2 contacts with their birthday before the first of january. But one contact of mines birthday is on the 4th of january. his birthday should be displayed, but it wont, because a contact without a birthday inserted by default has his birthday on the 01.01.1601. I mean this is just annyoing until the 2nd of january, but still. this default birthday is quite disturbing

Just looking at your database I can find out the cause of errors in my database is great, and judging by klichestvu downloads and problems encountered, it is still special cases, and they must be solved privately.

It is at the root of the phone next to the folder Windows, using the File Manager (Resco Ehplorer, Total Comander) copy it like a memory card and then transfer to the PC and send it to my mail, I shall understand the reason for the error.
Look my screenshot (selected file)/
Hi MoonNah,
yes received and file is on the way, better the link... and thank you for your response...

Put your base in the phone book only 4 days of birth and date of birth there is certainly wrong for 2 years of age usually do not have phones in people. But even in this form widget job correctly, you have to deal with the firmware.
