Hi All,
Newbie question here.
I sort my contacts by last name. This is great if it's a person, but not great if it's a business. For example, Ralph's Barber Shop. I want it to be under 'R' for Ralph. Contacts, however, saves it under 'S' for Shop.
How do I save people by surname and businesses by proper name?
Thanks,
WB
There's no need to use a first name. Just put the full name (Ralph's Barber Shop) as surname and it will be sorted under R.

kinda stupid title, i know. i can't think of a better one right now.
anyways...
i often get calls from contacts who call from their friends house or their work. i know i'll never call these numbers, but i don't want to add them to my contacts because ill get confused over all the numbers.
what i want is a program that allows me to add numbers so i see who is (probably) calling, without the number appearing in my contact list.
any idea someone?
thanks and sorry for bad english and horrible title
Use the company name field and prefix the name with ALT
i.e.
ALT Fred James at Sally Smith's
The company name field will come up on the CID when the first and last names are empty.
Hello all, I was going through my contact list on my EVO and thought what a great idea it would be to save multiple images to a single contact. This would be especially helpful when you travel a good deal. I meet new people all the time and if i could have multiple pictures of that particular person saved to one contact it would make it much easier to remember the acquittance.
Another use, someone asks who are you talking to. You show the contact and scroll through the images.
What do you all think, it shouldn't be too hard but then again I am not a developer.
its terrible that Google hasnt incorporated this into the standard contacts
5 years later and we can still only put 1 pic per contact?

Hey guys I have conversation with another person on my HD7 , I really need to copy the conversation to my galaxy, pleaaseeee help its very important, is there are anyway to copy a conversation from HTC HD7 to Android, or print it ?
Why is it so important that you need to retain copies? Should start using email
Unfortunately no there is no way of moving/backingup your text conversations on wp7 right now. You could make a new document and copy/paste the whole thing if you need a copy for some reason. Or just transcribe it in a word document ect on your computer.
The best way, at the moment at least, is to individually copy/paste each message into a OneNote or Word document in Office.
the important this is I need to show the number of the sender, any ideas ?
there is a discussion here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1072796
about extracting SMS messages from WP7.
But as far as moving them from one device to another, I don't think that is currently possible. If this is for "evidence" like it sounds, the service provider can get you this information, but they are usually resistant to doing so without a court order.
any other ideas guys ?
I've been using Google contacts and email for some time now and am surprised that there is not a more robust contact management solution from a sales perspective. Most people I think, have a need today to make good searchable notes about the people the they meet, and add reminders to follow-up with certain ones or groups of them.
I was reminded again today how horrible this contact management situation still is today, when I added a contact that I met at a Chumber of Commerce lunch. I remembered "Mark J" which is meaningless to me so I entitled the contact with a two letter code identifying the restaurant where we met, as much of the name I could remember, and relavant details. The title was Db Mark J Owner Limo Svc.
Now what I like about that, is that no longer are you forced to split the name into separate fields because that wouldn't fit.
What I don't like is that when I did a search immediately after adding the name for the word "limo' which is, for crying out loud, in the title of the contact, it did not come up! It wasn't even in the notes or some other field which should also be searchable?
How do others handle this? I know about SalesForce.com and others but monthly commitments are a small business owner's worst nightmare. Is there any way to improve this?
I'd like to at least be able to find a Google contact with a search.
I'd also like to add reminders to follow up on various groups or search matches.
I'd also like to be able let an email campaign interact with them without creating separate lists.
Assistance is greatly appreciated in helping me to get more out of contact management.
Learn java. Create new contacts app.
Or contact Google..
No one from Google will see your issues here.

When defining relationships within contacts, I can never pick my own contact. When editing my own contact, I can not even add a relationship field. I can define relationships between other contacts, but can not define anything for myself.
How can I define my own relationships? I know I can use Ok Google to chose contacts to call when telling it to call my spouse for example, but how can I actually store that information within her profile like I can for all other contacts other than my own?
What relationship do you have with yourself? Friend? Spouse? Family?
It's you, you do not have a relationship with yourself
The reason you can add relationships to other contacts is because that field is what relationship YOU have with them
So for wife you would put "Spouse" as that is your relationship with her
You would not have anything to add to your own contact unless you married yourself
The reason you can add relationships to other contacts is because that field is what relationship YOU have with them

But that would mean that I would have to be able to select myself in that list when defining relations - and that's not possible.
So all I can do is define relations between other contacts. For example I can edit my spouses profile, chose father and select my spouses fathers contact and that will work.

Simply chosing spouse without entering any name does not work - and my own contact is not available to select.
Am I missing something here?
Btw, I am using the default Samsung Contacts, not Google Contacts if that makes a difference.

Sorry yes you are right (partially), I remembered it wrongly, you can choose a contact to add as a relationship to another contact, but you can also choose yourself as that contact
I've just added myself as brother to my brothers contact, and also spouse to my gf's contact
It did however use my Gmail contact, not the one I have saved as my own main contact on the phone
Try adding yourself as a contact to your Google contacts first
(Also using Samsung contacts app)
When in my own main contact for myself, it has an option "My Relationships" under the main picture, with a + in a circle to add people to, I have added my gf as spouse to my own contact and it works fine, when you hit the + to add more, it opens your contact details where you can add multiple relationships

I agree with Detection, all of your contacts orbit around you. You define all other contacts in your universe and how close an orbit they have near you. You are the center of the universe. You are the all important one. Your contacts bow to your omnipotent awesomeness.
