HI All,
First post so bare with me.
I have the new HCT desire, and would like some help from you all.
First, how do you turn predictive text off for good?
Second, how do you get your contacts to be in first name order?
Lastly, How do you get rid off all the Facebook contacts, I just want my sim card contacts to show!
Thanks Ruso
1. Settings > Language & keyboard > Touch input > Text input > toggle off "Prediction". But I would suggest you learn to trust the text prediction, because it is indeed pretty incredible.
2. By default, the contacts list is already sorted by First name. Anyway, you can't change the way the list is sorted unfortunately. I find that the best way to find a contact is to not scroll for it. You should press the search key and just type in the first few characters of the contact's name.
3. If you didn't want your Facebook contacts to show up, you shouldn't have synced your Facebook contacts in the first place. Or, while in the contacts list, press Menu > View > toggle off "Facebook for HTC Sense"
Thank you! I have sorted out the Facebook issue now.
I have never liked predictive text messaging! I have done what you said, but still need to turn it off every time I go to type a message, any more suggestions?

Is it possible to get rid of or hide the favourite friends page when I move my TF3D slider to contacts? Everytime I want to call someone I have to click 'show all contacts' on the contacts tab. It would be so much easier if it can just go onto my contact list straight away.
Thanks
Hi,
Although not answering your question directly, did you know you can start typing the name of the person you want in the dialler and it will drill down the list of contacts until you get to the one you want. It also works if you start putting the numbers in. Very clever.

Hi,
I've searched the forum and can't find an answer to my problem.
I've set up 2 pop emails (corp pop & gmail) and both work in sending & receiving mail.
Now I want to edit the settings such as signature, max download size, download frequency, etc but can't find it anywhere.
I set up the accounts through touchflo/mail/menu/accounts/new account.
I have gone to messaging/menu but there is no "option" field anywhere.
I went to touchflo/mail/menu/accounts/accounts but this just takes me to messaging
I went to the email settings of Activesync but it doesn't show the individual email settings.
I also want to delete a 3rd mail account that I don't want there.
I am using:
EnergyRom Genesis 09.06.09
Please help! TIA!
You need to go to Tools---->Options to change the settings. Do it with the microsoft email application, not the TF3D one (I haven't used tf3d in a long time, so I'm not sure how to use it).
Thanks for your reply.
However, when I go to messaging, there is no "tools" field.

TRY THIS:
PROGRAMS > MESSAGING > MENU > OPTIONS
Then you will get tabs which show 'Accounts' 'Message' 'Address' 'Storage'
This is all I see when i tap "menu" in messaging (not touchflo)

Scrolling down doesn't bring up more options?
none. there is no scroll bar so I suppose there are no other fields. it's really weird that tits not there
I took out the battery for more than 2 minutes and this seemed to have done the trick!
Thanks all for the help.
1st and foremost. I love this phone (GPS issues aside) it's perfect and the greatest thing that has ever happened to me which is sad.
A few Android questions (I'm running Cog 2.2 B6 with Launcher Pro):
Is there a way to organize your favorites or am I relegated to alphabetized favorites list?
Is there a way I can go directly to dial my favorites?
I am coming from an iPhone and I can't figure out how to select text that is off of the screen. Example: This is a textbox with a senten (how do I get to where the "ce" in sentence would be?)
Can I get Facebook push notifications?
Sometimes the facebook app goes into normal webpage view mode when I'm looking at my notifications, is that a bug?
For the call log is there a way where I can only see phone transactions and not text. It looks like I can view by missed, dialed OR received calls but not all 3. Otherwise I have to view all my texts as well.
Thanks,
JOe K.

First keep in mind that the current Froyo is a leaked pre-release so there are some small bugs, such as the email app issue with exchange.Alright abou the selecting text that is off the screen, I am not sure what you mean by this as normally text is wrapped? what application are you having this issue in? I.E, the browser. as far as customizing your favorites layout, I do not believe there is an option for that, only to switch to grid view. What I do since I can have up to 7 home screens (I only use 4) I use one home screen as a favorite contacts list (not sure if you can do this on launcher pro but I would guess yes) hold click home screen and select add shortcut> select either a contact that will bring up the call/email/sms/mms/navigate (if there is an address for contact) or instead of selecting a normal contact you can select "Direct Dial" it will allow you to select a contact as before but when you hit this contact on the home screen, instead of getting the normal options it will directly dial that contact. it's actually a pretty nice way to manage your favorite contacts.
Hope this helps a little! also before I forget you know when looking at a contact (including in the favorites list) you can swipe to the right on the contact to call or to the left to sms. a couple other things, you can pinch inward on the home screen in Touchwiz to zoom out to tiles of your home screens and the same is true in the TW app list, zooms out too see all app pages. the swipe to call/sms works regardless of you using launcher pro though, good luck!
Good idea about the homepage dedicated for contacts. I set that up.
It seems my sim and my google contacts have duplicated many entries. Is it possible to combine the two, so I don't have a SIM entry and a Google entry?
Also, how do I associate a picture with a contact?
Thanks,
JOe K.
To join contacts go into the contact itself, hit the menu button and then join contact.
After you join the contacts you may want you can go into the contacts app, hit menu, more, then display settings. You can tell the phone what type of contacts you want displayed. The only downside is all contacts are displayed when spelling out a name using the dialer.

Perhaps I'll delete the entries out of my SIM card and then I'll be able to easily modify my G-Mail contacts list.
Do you know of anyway how to delete all the entries for a SIM card?
Also, I still don't know how to associate pictures?
The easiest way that I know the delete all of the contacts on the sim is to display only the sim contacts and hit the menu button then delete. Then click all of the contacts one at a time. Once you are done then go back and display the contacts you want active.
To add a picture go into the contact, edit, then click on the stock picture, should have a little plus in it, and this will let you either take a picture our use one from your library.

Also if you hve FaceBook and you sync it (the widget or what ever) when you set it up deselect add all conteacts and select the ones who are also in your phone contacts list. Then when you join the two contacts (your phone/google copy) with you Facebook contact of the same person it use the FB profile picture in your contacts list and will change as that person changes there FB profile picture, it will also show there current FB status. also if you go to the activities tab in contacts after syncing FB it will show all the recent wall posts ect.
Hi all,
I'm writing a program that imports our contacts into the Contacts db on the phone so they show up in the Contacts app, are available for caller id to draw from, etc. I've got it working the way we want on the emulator and the Motorola Droid. When I go to Menu --> View, I can see our application with a check box next to it, and when it's checked, our contacts show up fine.
However, when I try the same thing on the HTC Evo, the contacts don't show up in People, and I don't have our application listed in the View menu. The contacts show up when I do a search within People, and when the contact calls the phone, their contact info shows up fine.
The contacts I'm testing our application with aren't in the phone already ;-) They're special test cases with unique names; that's how I'm able to determine they are actually coming from our app.
I sort of get the feeling this is a HTC Sense issue, but I don't have a way to confirm that right now. If anyone has any ideas, I'd love to hear them.
I am attempting to moddify the stock SecMail.apk on my Sprint GS3 to allow an option only currently available from within a message. From the main email screen you have the option to select accounts (if you have more than one), compose messages, or refresh. Once a message is selected (checked) a new set of options is available....flag messages, delete messages, and a sub menu that allows you to move or mark as read/unread.
What I want to do is add the option to forward one or more selected messages from that that sub menu. I am having a difficult time tracking down the xml/smali that holds the code to this sub menu and its features. Can someone chime in and let me know if I am chasin a ghost or if this is actually doable? Any hints tricks or info to help this MOD would be great!
Thanks,
