Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone know a way to change the contact list from "by last name" to "by first name".
I'm an idiot with my friend's last name so its easier to search for contacts by 1st name.
If you know how to change the setting or if theres an app for it, please let me know... THANKS!!!
Probably not much use to you but I always store my contacts with their full name in the 'last name' field and leave the 'first name' field blank. Then they're displayed by their first name but of course it's coming from the 'last name' field.
Obviously going back and changing all your contacts to this format would probably be a PITA.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You could try this:

It works for me.
It will modify "File as" for all the people in your contact list.
outlook
also in outlook. When editing a contact, you can change there to be shown by first/last name
I would like to create a link on a web page that, when clicked, displays a name for the phone number along with the phone number.
For example, suppose I have the following link:
(555) 555-5555
I would like to display "My Company" when you click on the link in the phone dialer.
On WP7, for example, the above link would result in "Unknown Contact". However, I'm sure there's a parameter that we can pass to make this work, as searching using Bing for a local business will pass that business name to the dialer app even if the business is not in your contacts.
I'm wondering if anyone has a solution for this issue. This may be OS dependent... I've looked through the standard for the "tel" URI, but I couldn't find any info regarding this issue.
THanks.
is there a full list of commands for wp7 speech recognition? if so where? im tired of calling out randon actions only for the phone not to understand. Im sure the `What can i say ?` feature is not telling us everything.
Theres not that many. If you hit the question mark there's a short list of commands. Tellme is very limited like Google talk and nothing like Siri. Siri is more of an A.I. than a voice recognizion.
LIst
Short list of commands is mentioned here :
1) Call someone from your contact list : "Call contact name"
(where contact name is the name of someone in your contact list)
If the person has only one phone number in your contact card, the call will start. If he or she has multiple phone numbers, you'll see an option to choose one.
2) Call any phone number : "Call phone number"
(where phone number is any phone number, whether it belongs to a contact or not)
3) Redial the last number : "Redial"
4) Send a text message : "Text contact name"
(where contact name is the name of someone in your contact list)
This will start a text message to that person. Then you can dictate and send the message—hands-free.
5) Call your voicemail : "Call voicemail"
6) Open an application : "Open application" or "Start application"
(where application is the name of any application on your phone, such as "Calendar," "Maps," or "Music")
7) Search the web : "Find search term" or "Search for search term"
(where search term is what you're looking for)
If you say "Find local pizza," for example, Bing will bring up a map of nearby pizza places.

I was trying to search through my SMSs but didn't know how to do it. Couldn't find a search function. I tried the main google search field on the home screen but it searches for phone numbers on the phone. I needed to find a specific message that contains a certain word, and I know it's somewhere in the SMS app.
Thanks
I'm using AirDroid on Windows 7 via Chrome browser. When I attempt to create a new message I cannot locate the contact via the "To" field. For example if I enter "q" I see a list that includes "quentin" and "unique". If I enter "qu" I can only see "unique".
Similarly "a" shows list with "ace" and "acorn" but "ac" doesn't show either of these. Any views on what is wrong?
It's a capital letters problem
Further to my original post I can see that this problem is caused by using capital letters. For example searches for name "abcd" work OK but a search for name "Abcd" only matches against "bcd". Using "Abcd" to search results in no hits.
