I just searched the entire forum for Sensation questions about this.
Anyway its my first Android Phone and so far my experience is really good but for 2 issues.
After I made a master Reset because for some reason after the update from HTC to 1.35.401.1 just so you know I am on this update now the issues where there before this update.
Anyway my first issue or question is with the Calendar and its damn reminder/notification option, I just came from Sony Ericsson Satio/U1i where when I have created the event and go to remind/notifies me I get following options: Date and Time where I can set it to remind me of this even at the date and time I want. Where in the Calendar on HTC I only get the option of X Minuts/Hours/Days/Week preset by Google or HTC not sure who, no 100% free customization is there a Fix for this or something, I have searched the web and the market for anything that could do what I needed, but so far come up short, I normally demand my events to tell me the day before at 6PM that I next day have something planned, and atm I can trow this phone and all the apps and calendars I found into a wall and tell it to well never come back. Its the worst useless Calendar i ever seen. Anyway Anyone know a fix for this or a app I have missed that give me 100% customization over this?
My second issue or Question is for some reason when I wanna make a phone call or makes a new text/mms and wanna find the person to call am I showed both my phone Contacts and my Sim contacts even tho I told under persons to hide my Sim contacts, is there no way to make sure it do not show the damn sim contacts without having to delete them?
I hope you can help and I'm truly sorry if I missed anything that answer this but I searched Sensation department for it and found nothing giving me this answer.
calendar: can't you just download another calendar app that works how you want it? it's not the worst calendar you've ever seen just because it doesn't do 1 thing that you want it to do
contacts: people still have sim contacts? since android, i have found it far more convenient to just have all my contacts set up as google contacts, and just sync that...maybe you can set up your sim contacts as a 'group' and then only view specific groups when you want them?

I know my writing in English is not that good because its not my main language and also because i have a mild dyslexia, but I did write in the Calendar part that I have since I found out of this issue tested many if not every single Calendar APP I could find. I also tried APP's that claimed to improve on the original Calendar yet non did what I needed, Either there where no option to set a Reminder/Notification or if there where it used the build in version = UTTER CRAP. Hence why I ask here in hope someone know something that could do it, I have not tested the ones you have to buy as I have no refund chances in case it does not work well those I found has not and Google confirms that, so since I can't read anywhere they have it will I not waste my money on it just yet.
And Yes it is the worst Calendar on the fact no Company like Google who claims to make something for everyone including BIG BUSINESSES, would in their right mind send out something That do not allow for 100% customization over the reminder/notification in it like this, No wonder Google keeps scoring low in making good products for Businesses in this area. Had Google not claimed to make something GOOD and something that everyone including big businesses could use then I would agree then its just a stupid move and sad move.

Hello,
I've been looking and searching for a software that does the same as "call jockey" does for the wm smartphone. That is we can schedule fake calls in order to get away from unwanted situations.
Can one of the guru's develop such a softwarebcs I've looked everywhere and don't think it exists.

Does it actually make a call, or just play a ringtone?
yea, why not just set up an alarm with ur ringtone, and pretend to talk or something.
I remember reading about a web site that would take your phone number and you could schedule calls in advance. it would actually play one side of a conversation that you could participate in (if you felt so inclined).
No clue what the url is, but it's out there somewhere! If someone came up with it, you could use your browser and do what you want without having to install a new program.

I heard about this too. Can't remember the name. I think they aren't taking Calls do to some Legal issue last I looked.

Wondering whether I am the only one with this issue
I SMS a lot and like keeping the SMS on my device. I had recently an extremely unpleasant surprise: my total list of conversations was back to... ONE conversation with my last SMS and... That's it!!! Thousands of SMS gone
I happen to save everything with mIQ and hopefully it's not lost. However I had the experience already twice in the past 2 weeks so I am wondering:
Is this a feature from Android? Big SMS file --> autoarchive? If then how do I disable it or how do I recover my SMS?
Is it a bug? In which case this is extremely severe and not serious for such an expensive device or for an OS that is expected to be a safe one
Is it from Samsung implementation? Or Android itself?
Please share your experience, I'd like to know if I am the only one and if there is any solution (My "old" Touch Pro 2 with WM 6.5 never lost a single SMS although having more than 30,000 SMS in the box)

you really shouldnt keep that many sms around anyhow with android, its likely to cause some issues but did you check the settings on the sms app? mine has settings to delete threads after a certain number and is set to 200 by default.
I use a program called Backup to Gmail. Works excellent.
It let's me delete sms'es on the phone while my Gmail account keeps them all even if I delete them on the phone.
It can also restore sms'es.MMS restore is not supported yet but backup works good.

Yes of course... Besides If I had it set at 200 I would expect to keep at leats 200, not 1
I shouldn't let many with Android ? So with WM6.5 it's ok to have 20,000 SMS but Android cannot handle them ? Hum... Somethng is seriously wrong

Thanks, I know a few of these. Without being able to restore --> kind of useless for me... Actually as far as I remember some CAN restore
I am already using mIQ that works ok (though a bit slow to handle too many SMS)
why would you even want that many, its not like you are going to read through 20k sms
It's funny like the answers are more about having less SMS or why wanting that many rather than why the SMS client or the OS Re broken...
Hey man why do u need a car, just take your bicycle!
I have more than a thousand conta ts I converse regularly with. Then add a certain number of sms per conversation and u get there
Anyway I do not even have that many on my Tab... Far less than on my previous device. And this disappointing device/os/client combination cannot even manage them... What do you expe t me to do or say? Go back to my TP2? Honestly this is ridiculous
meanwhile I'd like to know if I am the only one and if someone knows some fises (other than delet my SMS or but an iPad...)

give handcent a try and use their backup service, ive never had a problem with the stock sms app, currently theres around 300txts for 20 contacts, and 50 or so for the rest.
No problem here as I don't keep a lots of sms. But had a problem with new sms going into the wrong contact profile. So, have to be extra careful not to reply to the wrong person.
Anyone faces the same problem?

Deleting would help more than the purchase of an iPad, as that uses the 3g chip to get a data connection, while both the texting and voice service are ignored.
That said... I never got this issue, but my brother has a relatively similar one: long messages tend to be split, mixed and (why not, since we are at it) partly deleted. That is on Eclair using an Xperia X10 mini pro.
Never had this kind of issue when i was at my peak of sms usage: store on the MMC, and there you go, thousands of sms on a puny Nokia 3650.

Will Mango fix the basic functions that were missing when released?
None of the recent reviews seem to address this..
1. Can you listen to movie audio via bluetooth headset ?
2. Can you prevent sms notifications appearing - especially on the lock screen ?
3. Is there now a detailed CALL History ?
4. Can you delete history of recent people, photos, music etc ?
5. Can you forward emails and text messages ?
6. Any sign of SMART Dialing ?
7. Can you SMS to a contacts 2nd mobile number ?
I am sure there are other small things I cant think of...

Call history has been beefed up quite a bit. Not sure exactly what you are looking for though.
5. Can you forward emails and text messages ?

You have already been able to do this with emails & text messages/mms.
Not sure on the rest, I haven't been specifically looking for those though with the exception of smart dialing, which I do not think is in Mango.

@colossus_r what is your POINT !!!!!!!!!!
I`ve had a Samsung Omnia since October and carry it everyday along with my Blackberry for work.... but I dont have time to f%%k about trying to work out things that are not obvious!!! My phone is pre-nodo btw if that makes a difference..
About Question 5
Now I am looking at a text message on the phone I press the three dots (...) and the options are send (which just does a reply) and attach. Exactly how do I forward to a different person as it does not seem clear...
About Question 7
Also how would I know that to sms to a 2nd number in contacts I would have to create a 2nd contact for the same person and then link them!!!
Questions were aimed at people who have used the Early Mango Build

If you youtube the windows phone mago review you will see some of the features in action which could help some of the questions you havent asked.
Press and hold on a msg, you will see the option for forward. Its pretty easy to find out. That's why the other guy was questioning if you have used a wp7 phone on a daily base. Yeah, you do need to calm down a bit. If those features were important to you, a quick search would have solved your problem.

In my opinion, NoDo fixed the basics. WP7 was horrid before NoDo. Mango is supposed to go beyond the basics with added features bringing WP7 up to the level of other smartphones.
what about contact search in mango? anybody has info on whether we can search by company or still by name only?
Not sure, but there are groups anyway, so you could set up business groups.
To the original poster...
1. Dont know, hope so.
2. Dont know again, doesnt really bother me, though, just swipe to the right and it disapears.
3. Yes
4. Dont know, wouldnt use it, so havent looked.
5. Both availble since launch, just hold on the text and click foward (three dots wont work, because how the hell is the phone supposed to know which text you want to foward.) Email just press the lower left icon and it says Reply or Forward, choose forward... Incredibly simple.
6. Dont know, hope so.
7. If there is a second number in your contact you can just do it from the people hub anyway.
Company search for Exchange 2007/2010 always worked always worked I think ...but Exchange 2003 company search (GAL) was enabled in NODO
Thanks to all for answers and appologies if I have offended anyone I am a bit peeved with Microsoft, Orange and Samsung and this non update on my Omnia 7 issue......
Anyway
Email - I just realised that I actually did know previously that you could forward email but forgot as I have been mainly using Company Blackberry for email for a few months now...
SMS - I agree I didnt think it through properly and didnt think about the conversation mode would mean requiring a long press... looked a few times and tried short presses but just assumed it was a missing feature.
Thanks again feeling a bit think now
There is no smart dialing in the beta I'm using

When I start typing something in the "People" application, it finds it whether it's in the name, company or notes field of my address book. Google apps synced account, if that's of any interest, but I see no reason it wouldn't be global.
Hey guys, so I've been dealing with this issue since I've had the phone in multiple ROMS. So let's say I am trying to call my friend John Z, I go to the keypad and type in 564 and I also have friends John A, B, and F in my contacts, which I never call anyway. So my question is, how would I be able to customize (obv if possible) the order in which my contacts are ordered when typing their characters in the keypad, currently its alphabetical. I tried looking through all the settings and googling with no luck. Thanks!
It might be best to start using their last name assuming you list all your contacts full last names. That's what I do for my multiple contacts with similar first names but different last names.

I was thinking that too last night, but trying to see if I can somehow customize it. If I cant I will definitely change it up.
Haven't found a way, its annoying on this device. My old droid 3 would always pop up the "best match" based on the call logs, s3 apparently does not take that into consideration. I also have been trying to find a way to get the dialer to default to showing the number pad on VM and 800# calls, again this is a standard feature in gingerbread droids! Its so annoying especially in the sun or when driving to have to hit the show keypad button all the time on those types of calls.

Yeah man! Same with my old phone! I had a Mytouch 3g slide and it will sort it how I want my s3 to sort it. I wonder if downloading a new dialer via the play store would solve it or if a dev wanted to take up the challenge.
I've posted that question in multiple development threads with no replies, please start doing it too, maybe if more people ask it may be taken on
I'm actually amazed more people aren't annoyed by this, after all these are phones first!

Completely agree, haha. Ive been googling for a while and still havent found anything. The only conclusion I can see is by using the "Favorites" menu which actually sorts by most freq contacted. It seems like a really easy fix though; just give priority to the favorites when searching then alphabetize or whatever else afterwards.
Exdialer from the playstore. I've been messing with all of the dialers for the past 2 hrs and this one is special. Give it a try, solved my issues. Donate uses root privileges to override the stock dialer.

Hi guys,
So I decided to create an app based on a simple idea my fiance gave me, and thought I'd come to you guys for some feedback.
In a nutshell, it's an app that will respond to an SMS trigger with the users current location.
1. Someone SMSs you "Where R U?"
2. Your phone works out its location to the closest 100m (if possible)
3. The app generates a google maps link
4. The app SMSs it back
That's the core of the app, but I've also created a "premium" version that has some other features such as a customisable sms trigger, geotagging, blacklist/whitelist options among others
What I'm hoping to get is a bit of feedback on my app and perhaps the way I'm going about a paid version of it. I'm very open to suggestions and I'm happy to provide the apk to the full version for those who want to try it.
Here's the link
Cheers!
*reserved*
Very cool. Thank you for developing

Hi, I was wondering if you can please provide information about how to use the black list/white list thing in free version, because I only want to send replies only one person so if I enable white list and add that specific contact to the back list /whitelist list, then will it work or not. I need an answer for this from you and asked from you to add details about this list configuration information on the Google play

Hi chorauoc,
Simply set the blacklist type to "whitelist", then add the contact you want to the list. The app will then ignore requests from anyone else Sorry for the ambiguous use of "blacklist", but I didn't really know what else to call it I'll update the app description to make it a little easier to understand.
Thanks for the feedback!

I love this! Its a simple way for me to know where my 8 year old daughter is and make sure she is where she should be if out at a friends playing! I can see this app will become invaluae to me as my daughter gets older and more adventurous in life. Thanks for this.
One suggestion for paid version feature is hide app draw icon if at all possible? As this would stop it being messed with by said daughter who by the way knows I keep tabs on her but accepts and understands why I do so, as my mother used to say 'Only privacy any child should have is in the bathroom!' But just because she knows does not mean she won't mess

Let me know if you think of anything else.
I bought the paid app tried it out with my girlfriend but I couldn't get it to work. I used the default phrase and she sent me two messages asking "where are you?" But nothing happened. I have a note 2 on sprint, and when I clicked on last location it crashed. Nice idea though.

Hi there,
I'd be pretty keen to send you a bit of a debug version of the app to get some more info on why this is happening. I'm sure there are hundreds of possible combinations of settings and the like I missed while testing Would you be happy to install and test an apk if I sent it to you??
Can you make an improvement
Hi,
I really like this app and i would like to make a suggestion and i will be really happy if you can implement it on your app,
Ie
Can you implement an emergencies response to send the contact in the white-list, means if you could be able to identify the emergencies like not answering , sim change, not switch on for long time, etc.
If i further explain this,
Suppose I am not answering phone calls for log time period or my phone is suddenly switch off and not switch on for longer time (may be day or 3 days) , then we can assume that i may in a trouble so i would be happy to send my location via sms to my white-list contact, but at that time i may not be able to do it manually so if you can implement a way to auto response to contact that would be really nice. Also let say someone stolen my phone and tried to replace the sim card of it, so at that time you can implement a auto response massage by saying your current location as well as the new sim number (In order to do this you may have to record current sim details in a database and check periodically when a new sim change occurs ).Also if you can add a method to add pre-define locations, means if i or my contact went to home then i might be able to save my current location as home or if i or my other contact went to someplace (let say office) that we commonly goes we should be able to add it into a list, so when in the next time when my contact or i went to that places we should received sms by saying that we are in that place now (Simply means by doing this we can be sure that the person i was wondering to locate arrives safely home or any other pre-define places even i forget to send location massage via sms).
So if you can implement such a auto response method then this app will be a great one. Hope you will do this
I wil add ideas for make this app better in future :fingers-crossed:

I love this! Its a simple way for me to know where my 8 year old daughter is and make sure she is where she should be if out at a friends playing! I can see this app will become invaluae to me as my daughter gets older and more adventurous in life. Thanks for this.
One suggestion for paid version feature is hide app draw icon if at all possible? As this would stop it being messed with by said daughter who by the way knows I keep tabs on her but accepts and understands why I do so, as my mother used to say 'Only privacy any child should have is in the bathroom!' But just because she knows does not mean she won't mess

So I've finally managed to implement your request (It took me a little longer than I planned ) You should get the update in a few hours. If you want to bring the icon back, install the Unhider and toggle it there Let me know how it works out for you.

Hi,
I really like this app and i would like to make a suggestion and i will be really happy if you can implement it on your app,
Ie
Can you implement an emergencies response to send the contact in the white-list, means if you could be able to identify the emergencies like not answering , sim change, not switch on for long time, etc.

I really like your idea with the emergency contacts, but I think it's a little out of scope for this app. Could be a good idea for my next app though
I like your 2nd idea too, but that would require constant location monitoring which can be very taxing on the phones battery. I like the idea of being able to save locations though, so the app could respond "I am currently at home" or some such You have plenty of good ideas!!
found small bug
Hi,
First of all thank you for your attention of my comments, anyway I found a small bug in this app, that is if we close this app using a task killer or clean master apps or anything have the capability of stop the service then this app not restart properly and we have to manually start the app again to get work, so can you fixed this bug, because as far as I believe the app should be in active status of anytime, hope you will consider about it, finally are you going to implement the location savings things in your app
