When I synced my contacts from my Tilt to Outlook via ActiveSync, Outlooked changed all the contacts in the "File As" from First Name Last Name to Last Name, First Name. Now all of my contacts on my phone are like that way too. Anyway to have Outlook
Nevermind, found out the answer:

sorry if this has been asked but i can't find it anywhere... I have outlook and gmail set as mail accounts - outlook to the server, gmail over the net, of course - but when i select messaging if tf3d it picks the most recently used box and when i do it in landscape mode it seems to default to my sms box (even though i have told it to show the account selector)
but
what i want it to do is to default, at least in landscape mode, to the outlook account
is this possible?
thx
does no one else have this issue?
I have!
But dont have solution
Hi!
I solved the problem with renameing mailbox's
I put on primary name:
1 - Gmail.com
on second
2 - myips.com
where do you set primary name, please?
Just rename account name
Menu/Tools/Options/
then select account
and edit account settings
Account display name
If "Account display name" grey colored.
Then you need to delete account and create new with
numbers in name.
1 -
2 -
3 - ...
Sorry for my English.
Okay, so I've been using nuevasync for a while to wirelessly sync my phone with my google calendar. Just saw that Google now as their own sync so figured I'd use theirs... less likely to run into upgrade issues if Google reconfigures anything with their calendar.
So, I went into the settings and put in google's website then hit next. Now I'm stuck! The "User name" and "Domain" fields are locked! It won't let me change these at all. Any one know why these would be locked and how I get them editable?
Thanks.
here are some suggestions...
1) Edit the Reg files for it
HKCU/SOFTWARE/MICROSOFT/ACTIVESYNC/PARTNERS/0DD8685C-...etc
Here you should find the values you need to edit "Domain"and "username"
2) delete the partnership from activesync then create a new one. - This can be done by opening activesync and clicking on menu (bottom right) then selecting options and delete.
Option 2 deletes all the exchange sync stuff though, so be sure to use PIMBACKUP to keep the information.
removing an exchange server only deletes contacts related to your exchange server.. it doesn't delete all contacts... same thing about mail and messaging.
Okay. I finally deleted all the people I don't talk to anymore from my contacts and SIM, and cleaned up by putting e-mail addresses in the contact info etc, and now want to sync that with my Gmail. Why doesn't these changes reflect on my Gmail account? I still have no contacts according to gmail, it just has an area that it has every e-mail address I have had an e-mail from or too.
The part that's frustrating is on my phone, when I go to compose a new text msg, and click contacts, I have to go through hundreds of useless e-mail addresses etc, still have 5 different names for some people that use multiple e-mail address and numbers, and a ton of "unknown" entries. I can't find a way to delete all of this other crap.
Has anybody successfully and cleanly synced all of their contacts?
Or is there a way to make it so when I hit the "contacts" button while composing a text msg, it only shows the phone numbers I have saved to the phone under contacts?
Theres too many areas called "contacts" that are completely unrelated to eachother. I wish google would wise up.
Thanks for any help!
When you make a new contact you get options to save to your phone, Google account, or sim card. You have to have them saved to Google or else they won't sync. I'd suggest opening Gmail on a computer and inputting them there.
So ALL of the work I did on the was a complete waste of time, and I have to go and indivudually put each and every name/number/email address into my Gmail contacts? Okay thats just retarded.
Next question, how do I get all of those "contacts" deleted from my phone. I really dont want to look at 500+ email address of companies/spam/notifications when I just want to look through my contacts to add to a text message.

In contacts, go into display options and check the box that says only contacts with phone numbers
Yea that helps when I go into contacts. My problem is that when you go into compose new text msg, then want to add a list of people and you click contacts, it lists the 500+ e-mail address I may have emailed out before, as well as up to 5 seperate entries for people with the same name, and doesn't show if it is for one of their e-mail addresses or one of their phone numbers.
This contacts sync thing is just outright stupid.
Solution I found for this do a factory wipe. Then when phone reboots add an exchange account. Use your google login info. Choose manual setup. Under server put m.google.com tell it to sync contacts. You must first make sure to configure google contacts to only sync groups you want. Do this within gmail on your computer. When you then add your google account uncheck sync contacts.

You don't have to delete anything! You can export your contacts on your phone to a vcf file.
contacts > import/export > export to sd card
Once you have the vcf file, you can e-mail it to your gmail account, then download the file to your pc. Next, import it to your gmail account. Let me know if that works.

go into your gmail contacts on a computer...create a new group called "My Contacts". copy all of the contacts to there that you actually want to see. within your phone contacts setting, set it to only sync that contacts group from gmail.

on eclair, yes... on froyo, no.
the workaround in eclair is to set up a second gmail account, then use a service like soocial.com. in your real gmail account, set up the my contacts list. set up soocial to sync the "my contacts" list with the entire list on the 2nd account. then, on your android phone, don't sync contacts from the primary gmail.. only sync contacts from the 2nd gmail account.
I have a (probably) related problem. When I entered a new contact in 2.1 I was given the option to choose saving to phone, google, or sim card. Now that I have updated to the official Froyo version, I never get this option. It just saves to my phone. This is a serious problem. Is this just my phone or are others having this problem?
thanks.
I NEVER save to the sim card because it does not use the same format I use in Outlook and it will split a contact with more than 1 phone number into several contacts.
The AOSP Mms.apk has the option to hide non-mobile phone numbers and emails.
It looks like Samsung, in addition to taking away our option to choose "just once" when opening files, phone number and email links so we can avoid setting a default, the contacts app no longer asks you which account you want to save a contact to (i.e. which gmail account, exchange account, or other cloud contact management). While you can select an account when you first create a new contact, you can't select a destination account when importing or saving VCF files. The older versions of Samsung software on my GS5 allowed me to select a destination account every time.
Does anyone know of a workaround? How does the phone decide which account is the "default" save to account - I got lucky and its saving to the right one, but how do I redirect it if it was saving to the wrong account?
PS: I know about the "clear defaults" function in the application settings. I already cleared defaults for my contacts app, it doesn't impact this issue - it will allow me to select a different app to use to open the VCF file, but not a destination account for the imported contact.
