Hi
I've had a good look using the forum search, and cant find this - if i've missed something obvious please point me in the right direction.
I'm looking for a shortcut (or more probably the slash or "" command to append to phoneagent.exe) to speed dial.
I'm using a (custom) WM6.1 ROM on a Raphael. I'm assuming the ROM build isn't relivent as the phoneagent.exe file is windows - and the speed dial option is available (phone/menu/speed dial)
i'm pretty sure this could be mort-scripted, and there may be 100 other apps / manilla etc which will give me speed dial / photo contacts etc on the start page. However what i'm looking for is to assign a*.lnk file to a hardware key to take me into the speed dial list.
I'm hoping this is very similar to assigning a suffix to the tmail.exe to start a new txt message.
Any help is much appreciated

interested too in a way to have a shortcut to the speed dial window
Bump -- Anyone have any ideas?
I don't know of anyone who found a shortcut to speed dial itself.. i'm sorry.

Does anyone know how to do this within the contacts? Personally I would like the option to look up contacts via first name etc.
Also, does anyone know how to sync with a Motorola V3?
Thanks in advance.
Crash.
Workaround
A workaround:
Open each contact in Outlook, and change the "Store as" value..
(Default is "Surname, firstname")
Then save contact and move along to the next one..
A pain in the a** if you have a lot of contacts..
There might be some tools out there though..
What about a solution WithOUT the outlook workAround?
you can save the persons whole name under one section. eg first name 'steve dibs' last name ......
just click the down facing triangle then enter the name in one of the sections.

ps i feel your pain
Or use a different PIM, most give you the sort option in there contact list
it's probably not what you want i know but i gave up with contacts list when i got this app from this site ,it is a fantastic little app
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11120
perhaps someone who is good with reg hacks might beable to help
i was told this would be an area to look in for changing the last name first name lay out of contacts in my Imate jam
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\AddrBook
however i know extremely little about changing registy items.
set Display name in Contacts
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\contact\cproghook]
"FL"-> Set 0 if LastName then FirstName, 1 if FirstName then LastName
this was apparantly one for changing the display for another device
so i was kind of looking for something similar but it eludes me
any help would be most welcome by alot of people id reckon, me for sure anyway.
comments about switching contacts managers are unwelcome....i havent found another which i feel intergrates well.
thanks

excellent! not quite what i was after in terms of usage, but does the required function
"FileAsFL.arm.CAB v 1.0" is the cab to get it in the ver last post.
doesnt actually automatically change the way it displays the name, however it does let you change the way it is viewed after an entry has been made. so after you enter the name you need to select it and choose file as from the tools menu in contacts....or just "ctrl A" to select all then change the file as from tools menu.
very nice simple work around.
thanks

http://www.shubaroo.com a Norwegian site has made this little program http://www.shubaroo.com/Kontaktfiks_ppc_installer_v1.2.CAB
Install it and open the KontaktFiks from your program folder
Do as in the picture, and that will fiks all yor current contacts to "First Middle LastName"
@Bosjo
does that program make all new entries file correctly as well?
Speedn
No, only the ones that are in the Adress book.
Do you guys want me to make an english version of this program?

Same here
English version is available for download at www.shubaroo.com
The new version also gives you the opportunity to add the Company name to the File As field. It will then file the contacts as: "Firstname Middlename Lastname (Companyname)".
The new version will only run on WM 5.0 devices. Both Pocket PC's and SmartPhones.

Hi, There is any registry patch that allow only to change the display ?
leelouch (HTC P3600 - S300+)
I have the same frustration and created my own program to fix the contacts, even allowing for your own custom formats and using the Company Name field. I hope you find it helpful!

Hello,
After upgrading to WM6, I found when viewing SMS messages that the left softkey no longer gave the option new, just delete.
I put together this little shortcut which will send you straight to a new SMS.
I then mapped the shortcut to the now defunct video call button.
Download and unzip the attached file. Copy the extracted file to somewhere on you device (I put in in \Windows\AppButtons) and then edited the following registry entry:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys\40C2
amending Default from "\Windows\AppButtons\Video Call.lnk" to "\Windows\AppButtons\New SMS.lnk" (you will need to amend this to wherever you put the New SMS.lnk file)
Hope that helps, but you are amending and playing with your phone/registry so I take no responsibility for anything you mess up!
Sorry if this is a known resolution, but I hadn't seen anything specifically in this forum, and not one with a complete solution.
Hi Steve,
Thanks for the little tool. I was wondering if the 'Delete' option could be turned into the old 'New' setting without loosing the video call button?
AFAIK No!
I've searched the forums and nobody seems to have an answer for this. I can't find where in the registry to edit either (I'm no expert of registry settings)
This seems like the only option for now. I think the softkeys in the mail app are hardcoded, so would need someone with more ability than I to take apart the tmail.exe file and make the required alterations. Still after nearly a year of ownership I've never used the video call button, and find it handy to be able to go to a new sms from anywhere on the device. Maybe this will be addressed in a future build of WM6? Or possibly someone will give the option of either NEW / DELETE...
Well.. Thank you for the workaround.
I'm looking for a solution, too.
I HATE that "delete" button, it's really boring!
Please help me!
Hi!
Please help to me! i want to create a shortcut send SMS in PPC, but i don't know how to do that? (example: send "GPRS +" to 8125 by SMS)
Many thanks
1. I don't understand what you want to do.
2. This is the forum for the HTC Universal device, judging by your username, you'd be better asking your question here
(anyone else think that HTC has made life a little complicated calling one of their models the UNIVERSAL...)
try vjphonetools do a search on the forums
Please help me!
Hi!

Awesome, this is exactly what I needed!
Hi all,
i found out that in some rom selecting a menu is faster..
i mean the speed when you click [START] and press the [DOWN] button..
in 1908 menu selection is faster but in 1921 it is slow.. i think its a registry hack..
someone know?
Probably it has something to do with priorities.
I'm crazy searching for this amazing feature! No clues yet!
I've been also digging the registries without luck!
If someone here knows how, we'll greatfull!
Found a way to do it!
It seems I had found a solution for enable this feature. It's really an easy process just by doing manually or modifying the Registry. I'm still testing and I will open a new thread in case works properly. I'm also creating an OEM package for cookers.
for now, let me test a bit more...

Hello TC Users,
I often need to add a prefix to the number i dial. With the standard dial pad is not possible, i always need to edit the contact itself, or memorize the number and dial it completely.
Is there any way to edit a contact number before call?
Thanks for the support.
somthing v importent, i also need that.
You guys should give Mobiion's MagiCall a try. Very nice app!
-Feaps
It's sad. When I did a search on edit and dial, I came up with a lot of request for this feature but seems there isn't any such utility available. Strange because it is pretty obvious it is a useful tool for many. I've tried Mobiion's MagiCall but it's way too complicated and the documentation does not give you any example on how to set up for this.
Fully agree
I guess this is more of a WM6 issue but since I'm having the Raphael I posted it under here.
The thing is as you all could read in the Title that whn you want to check your sent items folder it only show you your own address = From fileld. This makes it very difficult to find the proper mail you looking for.
Is there someone who nows a registry tweak for this or even better a .cab file you can post?
Cheers
