i had been trying out the various contact sending apps from Market, but all these do is send the contact text based either with all details in sms, text, of barcode. Once major thing i miss in all is Bluetooth! And sending of the complete contact, including display picture.
I could get the contacts of a HD2 in a breeze to the Mango device using the bluetooth contact transfer application, but when updating contacts in the Mango device, I would like to synch these back to the HD2. I assume there must be some way to do that, but again, after having searched the phone and marketplace, i cannot find a way to synch properly.
What has happened? and can anyone helpo me out?
Could I get the information from the Mango device if it was developer unlocked i.e. with a chevron purchased key?

i recently went into the contacts list on my xda orbit 2
only to find it was only showing just 2 contacts which were listed on my sim card,
i cannot see any of my outlook contacts at all ?
if i wish to phone anyone who was on my contacts list,
i have to find MMS from this person and dial from there,
contact is showing correctly as sender of sms as per listing in contacts
except i cannot view the list showing 'ALL' contacts
any help appreciated folks
-thanks
Dont you have a filter in the contacts view?
hi,
my orbits filter settings are set to exactly the same as my mrs's orbit2
her contacts list is a-o-k
sms text messages recieved prior to this problem ALL show senders name as it was listed in contacts & also the number as was provided when i created the contact
ALA - orbit seems to be using the original contacts list to provide sender details for text messages recieved prior to error happening,
yet.....
will NOT allow me to access the contacts details etc,
anyone got any input / ideas etc, as im well n truely stuck without these contacts
same troubles
I have also found that on regular occasions that my Orbit 2 looses all the ring tones and name tags tied to contacts.. I can reset them all and within a few weeks they go back to default... Gets most annoying when you try to set tones to know who is calling..
AFAIK that's a Registry Error.
It's a common thing in MS Windows (including Windows Mobile) to have registry errors.
Only 2 things to solve this kind of problem:
Restore from the latest backup
Hard Reset
Greetings, all;
I am having a problem with my unlocked Treo that is driving me batty. The device "forgets" some of my contacts when I am composing an SMS.
The contacts never actually dissapear from the phonebook, and I can always start an SMS from the Contacts page, but when I start typing a name in the "To' line on the new SMS page, some names are just not there anymore.
It's never the same name, and doing a soft reset corrects the problem... for about a day.
Any ideas what might be happening here? Thanks for the advise!

I would suggest that you backup your contacts using some free program such as TCB (total contacts backup) or PPC Contacts backup. Just back them up into a file in a folder in the phone or storage card. Then go back to the program and try to restore the contacts and choose the option of overwriting the existing contacts.
Also if you are referring to the drop down list when you choose list of contacts. Keep in mind that the list is only for people you have texted before, this not a list of contacts reflecting the phone book
yes.
i also have this same problem.
it seems like there are limited contact that showed in messaging box.
For example,
i have 20 contacts whose name is started from letters : "Sa"
but when i type "Sa" in the destination number on messaging box,
it is limited only to 10 contacts which is started from letters "Sa".
So the next 10 contacts is not showed up.
is there any possibility to tweak on registry to expand this limit ?
Pls help...
thanks a lot !

i had the same issue as well.....one contact wasn't showing up.
2 things. make sure that that contact's number has been saved as his/her mobile number, not home or anything.
secondly, just restart or something. the problem went away for me later.
Actually, the missing contacts issue happens in many application. And the search results depends randomly.
For example, I got 2 "Sherry" in my contacts from OutLook in my PC. And pretty aware that I keep the phone number in the right field.
Type Sherry in Today, I got 2 Sherry listed.
Type Sherry in Contacts, I got nothing.
Thpe Sherry in SpeedDial Setting(Link to Contacts), I got nothing.
Type Sherry in To field in New Message, I got 2 again!?!?
Very unpredictable!!! And different name will yield very different results.
Customer Rep from Palm suggest me to do a Hard Reset. But I don't think it will help, however I'll try it.
Hoping to get the solution here!!! Thanks in advance.
The wired search result is gone after I upgrade my Treo750 from WM6 to WM6.1 with a Special Cooked ROM(Build 19199).
After the upgrade, my data had been synced from OutLook again. I'm not sure whether ROM upgrade or data sync did resolve the problem.
Anyway, I'm happ again with my Treo750 again!!

Wired things again................
Treo 750 will freeze (no input from touch panel nor keyboard) when I entered the edit screen of the contact person which founded in Lookup field in "Today".
But editing the contact person in the "Contacts" application will not freeze.
The edit screens in the above cases are pretty the same except the upper left corner shows "Start" and "Contacts" separately.
Any help??? Thanks in advance.
I just graduated from a Blackberry to the HTC Incredible. After a few days of use and way too much forum browsing, I still have a few issues that I cannot resolve. Please help if you know of any solutions!
1. PHONE: If I dial one of my local contacts and do not include the area code, the call log labels the call as UNKNOWN. This is somewhat frustrating as every phone that I've ever owned was sophisticated enough to known that I'm dialing a known contact even if the area code is not included.
2. CONTACT SYNC: I synced my Blackberry with Outlook. I had no problem getting all of my contacts into the Incredible, but now I want to sync them with Google Contacts and ditch Outlook. I cannot change the PC Sync label on each contact in my phone though, and I'm not even sure if it has anything to do with it.
3. CALENDAR RECURRENCE: I often need to enter meetings to repeat on multiple days of the week. For instance, I may have a review meeting every Tuesday and Thursday. Is there a calendar app that has the capability of recurrence in this manner? I know this is a popular problem, but I have been unsuccessful in finding a solution. It seems insane to have to enter these types of recurrences through Google Calendar to have them sync with the phone properly.
4. MAIL: If I setup my "native" or default google account in the HTC mail app, it syncs with IMAP to get all of the existing mail. HOWEVER, it will not show any new mail that comes in. I have unchecked the sync with the Gmail App ( I cannot remove the account from the Gmail App), but no matter what I do, I cannot get new mail in HTC Mail. Each time I try removing the account from HTC and setting it up again, the new mail shows up, but nothing new from then on.
5. POPUP NOTIFICATIONS: I love the notifications that I get in the status bar for new mail or text messages. Is there anything that I can use to have these notifications popup in a new window on my screen?
Please help! This is an awesome phone, but it just seems that some of the "basics" are missing.
Why didnt you post this in the HTC Incredible subforums? I doubt you will get an answer in here.
I have tried many cooked roms with my i780, almost all of them WM 6.5.
I realized today that if I have more than one number registered inside an outlook contact (I am used to register alternative mobile phone numbers in the "pager" field), when I receive an sms from a contact with more than one phone number, there is absolutely no way to find out which number was used to text you. Also, when you reply, you don't know the phone number you are texting, you just know that its the same that was used from your contact to text you in the first place.
I realized that today when I was chatting a friend of mine believing that I use my "free of charge" sms messages (which I do when I text his main number) and ended up charging my balance. He told me he was using his alternate number (that I have registered as pager) and when I tried to somehow confirm it, i see there is no way. All you get is the name of your contact. No way to access extra info either for received or sent messages.
Am I missing something? Has anyone else realized that and/or has a problem with it?
What is up the the list of contacts when using the phone or messaging? I can manage under Contacts|settings|view exactly what contacts I want to see; however, when using the phone or messaging, the Sensation presents EVERY contact without a way to adjust. In my situation I use Exchange Activesync to gather my work emails, and despite unchecking sync contacts, they all show up in my phone list.......who the heck wants to sort through a thousand contacts to make a phone call. Thoughts or ideas?
I have some similar problem. I sync with both Exchange Activesync and Google/Gmail and some of my contacts have an entry in both. In my lists of contacts they're perfectly coupled and reduced to one entry, but in the messaging app the contacts show up double again.
I already had contact with HTC Benelux, but their first 'solution' was to remove one of the entries manually. But that's no option for me. I replied to them, but they have not reacted yet.
Strange thing is with the mail app everything is ok.

To get rid of this in messaging, there are 3 options you need to turn off.
Go to messaging.... settings... general... and turn off "Show sent message history", "Show call history" and "show email address". Or a combination of the three if you'd like.
In contacts, you should check the option in settings that says "Only with phone number". As long as your email contacts don't have phone numbers, they won't show up in the contacts list.
I hope I'm understanding your issues and that this information helps.
