Hello,
is it possible to have same contact twice in fast contacts? Mean sms and phone link, or phone and desc link. When i add mobile link to one slot and sms link to some other slot, the mobile link dissapear...
fast contacts - mean the tab in htc sense
hi do this
if u tab your finger on the grey area '(where the name of the contact is in fastcontact just belouw the picture), it gives you the option to send message or make phonecall.
good luck m8
pretty usefull, but it's still one click more than usuall, when i have direct sms or phone link, its just one touch to dial or send sms... touching grey area is like add link to contact desc.
any idea how to add dial as one link and sms as other link from one contact to speed dial?

Is there a SW available on the XDA II that allows me to send a SMS msg to a group? I used to be available to do it on my ipaq using simple SMS.
I select category say "personal" from my contacts and viola, the msg will be sent.
AFAIK you can either select multiple recipients from you contacts list or you could set up a contact named "my-group" or so and put all the phone numbers in the mobile field, seperated by semicolons. It works here, but I have not yet tried more than a dozen at once.

How did you do it Martin? I created a new contact and put multiple of mobile phone numbers saparated by semicolons, but the semicolons don't appear on the SMS program. In other words, the SMS program removes all semicolons and appends all the numbers.
tried this, but when i send a message I get the error:
"You cannot send this message as both an SMS and an e-mail message. Please remove either the SMS or the e-mail address and send again"
Needless to say, I created a new contact with two telephone numbers in the mobile phone section seperated with one ;

group sms
hi guys
i tried to do this as well but it didnt work i had a nokia comunicator and i was able to do this with no problems.
regards kevin b :lol:
Thanks guys for the replies. I guess I have to live with sending SMS messages manually
It is really strange that an expensive pda+phone with a powerful operating system doesn't have this simple functionality.
I might sound strange, but this function is very important to me coz I send an average of 8 SMS messages to a group of people on daily basis.
I miss my T610
gropu sms
i agree kufi these phones arent cheap.
when i do into my sms box and say new i can add more contacts and seperate them with ; without any problem
havent tried sending it though so i'm not sure if it would fail but i can add more then one contact thats for sure
Yes this is how I do it too; the manual way which is time consuming and annoying. The optimal way is to assign a group of contacts under one name, but as you can see, it is not possible.
Hoping an application will be avaialable soon, coz this is driving me crazy.
group sms
I got this software, I think it works great. you have to first creat a group list, when saving the number, you have to save it in the group. I don't have any link for it, but its group sms ver1.1 by shailesh ashar, google it, or find the cab laying around here. hope it helped.

i am using O2 XDA Flame model, i need to know if there is any application for forwarding sms from inbox to group contacts by selecting the group name. i have used software for sending new sms to group contacts but have not seen any application helping to forward inbox sms to group contacts... hope i have clearly mentioned my query.
thank you.
If you are sending the same group of people text messages I send the message in the normal way - this requires you adding each of the recipients one at a time.
When you are finished and you send the mail - go back into your messages and select the 'sent' option form the drop down. You can now highlight the recipients and use the 'copy' option.
Then, go to the 'NOTES' section of your XDA and paste in the list and save it using whatever title you want.
Every time you want to send a message to these recipients, open your 'NOTES' and copy/paste the list into your message - it is not perfect...but it does work and does save time.
I have only just joined the forum. Anyone still having problems sending texts to multiple contacts on you htc tp2 try this I think it may help you.
Create a new contact any name and type the contacts numbers in as laid out below.
12345678999>; <12345678999>; <12345678999>; and so on. You need six spaces between each number, no left side arrow in front of the first number as the phone puts that in by default and no right side arrow after the last number. I have tried it with upto ten numbers no probs it might work with more.
Also if if one of the contacts in your group sent you the original message you wont wanna send it back to him so if you hit menu then hit check names hey presto it will put all the contact names in relevant to the numbers, touch on the one you want to delete and then hit your back space key and its gone. Good luck.
chk out my signature for group sms app that I made
Hi, I don't know if a post has been put up, but I don’t know what to search for. I was wondering if any knew of any software on windows mobile 5 which will enable me to block specific incoming calls from my phonebook or calls as private or unknown numbers and sms/text messages.
Need something like this badly
MDA pro
This may be what you are after
I use Inesoft Address Book and it offers the functionality you require, except for text messages. The large contact photos and other enhancements are also very good.
THANKS mosgeo
Many Thanks mosgeo for you promt reply. Am downloading the cab version from the site. is this a full version?
Yes, completely non-crippled for 14 days. The bit you are looking for is the 'Incoming calls' menu item on the Today tray (bottom right, silhouette icon).
Incidentally, I found the Today ABC plugin took up too much room (and possibly slowed things down, not sure) and removed it via the options.

i am in a simular situation however is it possible to rather than block text messages from a particular contact i would rather not be notified, i.e. Dave sends me a text message and it notifies me as normal however if psyco girl sends me a message it wont flash up on my screen for all to see......
Hi guys,
just bought myself a orbit 2 smartphone,
i would like to add contacts with a picture to the htc cube intalled on this phone.
Wen i try to add a contact, it shows me my sim contacts, and not the outlook contacts containing a picture. I really can't find out why it wont show my outlook contacts.
Maybe you guys have a clue ?
Thankzzz
No one ?
Please give me a hand, sorry if this is a newbie question,
but get me going, i can't find any other persons with this problem.
Bump Up we go
Are those contacts (Outlook) available, when you click
on the "Kontakte" Softkey on the left bottom on the Today screen?
Normally the cube uses the same database as all the others.
This means, if you want to add a contact by clicking the + in
the cube it enters the default contacts application where you
choose the contact. It is, however possible to hide the sim
contacts from showing, but never heard it viceversa
You are using the orbit 2 with O2 Rom "out of the box", right?
Olioaglio
Hi olioaglio,
Thank you so much for the reply!
If i use the green phonecall button and then left on the bottem off the screen enter the contacts. Then yes i can see my sim contacts and my outlook contacts.
If however i go to the cube and press an emty photoframe to add a contact to the cube, i see a contact window but no outlook contacts in the list, very bizar! I can however make a new one, menu --> new contact, and then make a outlook contact, but when its made, it doens't show in the menu, so i really cant find a way to do it !?
Im running a O2 rom out of the box, with wm 6.
Its better for me to show you
so i made a little screen video
You can find it here: http://www.megaupload.com/nl/?d=X752XJWJ
Hope you guys have megaupload acounts, i can upload it anywere you like.
just ask
Thanks!
does anyone have an idea what i could do? Based on the video?
Bump, please help me out guys!
I searched all through the new tael rom thread and was unable to find a solution to my problem.
I love the look of sense 2.5 but I am having two issues with text messaging.
One, If I am on the text messaging tab and create a new message It doesn't auto fill the recipient name and doesn't seem to grab any info from my contact list. If I select add receipient it takes me to a blank search people field with none of my contacts listed. The only way I can send a text message is to go phone>contacts>send msg or reply to one that is sent to me.
Two, when I am in landscape mode trying to reply to an sms the send button is off the screen. This I can live with as I know not everything has been ported over the VGA but the first complaint is really an issue.
Thanks in advance.

1. Texting is weird and a pain. This is due to the new, stupid, built in htc messaging app Jataayu made for HTC. Unfortunately it's a necessary evil with Manila 2.5. Either use the 'disable' cab found in this thread to disable it and use the built in WinMo pocket outlook to SMS (ink in post #1) or use Pyrorob's Contact Picker and Shared Resource CABs.

I don't believe there's any application that will do this currently for the Gear 2.
One recommendation is set the gear contacts up to only show favorites. Then use the Shortcut Clock as your home screen with Contacts as one of your 3 Icons. Instead of having to scroll through your entire phone book, only your few selected favorites will pop up. I only initiate calls from the gear to family and friends for a quick chat, I don't call work contacts or plan long conversation from the gear.
