Hi
I have an idea for an app. It should work kind a like the facebook function in WM 6.5, but in another way. Instead of choosing contacts to syng, it should sync every "friend" from the facebook profile.
You log in with your facebook log ind. The program looks at your friends, and if the friend has a number attached, the friend is added to your contactbook, with name, phone number, profile picture, and address(only if the friend has this info available).
Other features:
Auto sync. Each day? hour? week? user choice?
Choice of "Only sync when connected over WIFI"
If friend exist, then update number, address, profile picture, etc.
What do you think? Wouldnt this be nice?
It would indeed, but if i recall correctly fabook has put an end to this. Whether it's illegal or not i don't know, but im sure FB won't agree with it...

Hmm, but there is already a built in function in WM 6.5, but only for each single user, so should'nt it be possible to extend to all users?

its for the pictures, correct the names and birthday date
but im missing the sync of numbers, emails...
I used to have (WM 6.1) the option to save the picture as the birthday date to the profile in my contacts.
When I link a contact with facebook in WM 6.5, I only can save the picture, so the birthday is not saved in the profile, even as in the calendar.
Is there a solution for this problem ?

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!
Cheers,

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...
windows mobile live messenger is syncing all the email contacts to my PPC contacts and its getting really annoying. I'm sick of scrolling through my contacts and seeing an entry like "Sek_C_girl_69" or some other crap like that.
I go through and delete the ones i don't want and add my friends emails under there appropriate contact info but they still keep appearing.
Anyone know of some tweak i can do that will not display contacts with only an email address?
You can use the builtin filter.
How?
Just as an FYI,
The next beta version will be MUCH improved in this area.
Don't forget, it's NOT a finished product, and doesn't necessarilly look like the final version. Lots of changes are upcoming.
(can't be more specific than this, sorry)

Go to your contacts application; Choose menu -> Filter and select all your categories. This should work.
I only have 'all contacts', 'recently viewed' and 'No categories' to select.
I've got the following options under filter : All contacts, Recently viewed, no categories, family, personal, colleagues, and more...
I guess i just got to put them all in groups, but then i can't select multiple groups like say i want to see Family, Personal, and Colleagues and not WMLM contacts...?
whats really pissing me off about it is in the SPB Diary plug in, it shows a couple picture contacts, then after that its just emails and i have to scroll forever to get to my real contacts.
They call that program a beta? Alpha at most. All the people I know who've tried it appear offline. (Windows XP/Vist versions) Seriously, bugs that big should be gone far before the "B-word" is used to describe the development stage.
I have an exchange account that I linked with my Tab and I have been looking for the contact's birth date... which I haven't found in the contact application
Probably haven't looked at the right place. Can someone help me and tell me where it can be found ?
Than you
Anyone has the same issue ?

Do you press the "More" button at the bottom of the contact info?
If it's not showing up automatically then Exchange may not be synchronising that information. If that's the case I'm not sure how you'd force it to do so.

Of course I checked.... Exchange can synchronize birthdays on Outlook, pocket outlook, and some other softwares. From what I read around it seems Android doenst support this
Can you believe it ? The dumbest of my previous dumb phones support birthdays. My WM device did. And Android doesn't ? Honestly I am getting closer and closer to a deal breaker. A contact app without birthdays ? What's next ? A Phone without a dialer... ? I hope it;s not true
I have to check Touchdown, maybe it's available there...

You can define the birth date in the contact's device and then you can link that contact to your exchange's contact.

Seriously... that sucks...
I have around 1,200 contacts... This is ridiculous... Android is still not ready for prime time in its v2.2
Anybody can advise an alternative contact app that can replace the original one and allows to see the birthday field ? (And modify it...)
I heard MIUI ROM allows it so maybe there is a way to extract its contact app (?)
Actually I may give "Go contacts" a try
Anybody has tried and can compare with Samsung's contact manager ?
Does anyone know how to view your contact list by their "Nickname" you set in the People app? How do you get the Nickname to show up when receiving a call from someone, rather than their First and Last name. I'm looking through the menu and there only seems to be an option for First name and Last name. Maybe there's an app in the Marketplace that gives you extended options?
When close family members call me, I'd rather it show "mom cell" or "dad cell" as opposed to their formal first and last names. I could just put Mom Cell, in the Name field of the contact card, but this will disrupt my gmail Contacts list when I go to use a desktop.
It seems like a lapse in android or htc's software for this feature to be absent. Anyone have any ideas?
What I do is make a new contact named Mom and then I sync it to her facebook then I click it and edit it and change the name from the drop down menu from her real name to Mom

Hello,
Thank you to all amazing developers for the superb ROMs.
Background: I maintain my master contacts in Microsoft Outlook (which I now periodically sync with Gmail contacts). I had a windows based HTC P3450 phone earlier which could directly sync with Outlook. When using that phone, an incoming call used to give much more info about the contact in addition to name and phone number such as company name, title etc.
Not that I am a professional nerd with thousands of contacts, but I particularly found this feature very useful in that phone because I could tag my in-laws names with their cities because I could hardly ever remember their names.
All in all, when a call used to come from my aunt in law, it looked something like this
Mrs X Y Z
+1 123-123-1234
Location1, Honey's 2nd aunt

I havent tried all of the amazing ROMs here but was wondering how difficult it is for our magicians to either customize the incoming call screen or just hard code additional info fields. Just a food for thought.
P.S. : I'm currently running Cognition 5 v2
