I have some contacts which have multiple mobile numbers. as it stands now, i can only have one dedicated mobile number in the contact details. i would like to have as many as i want, so i can easily sms the additional numbers at any time i choose.
there are some useless (for me) types in there such as: pager, car tel, radio tel. there is everything BUT no Mobile Tel.
i want a Mobile Tel 2 and 3.
is this possible to modify?
i am using WM6 Black 2.0
no its not possible. take it or leave it.
no version to date can do it.
i'll take it thanks!
Inesoft Address Book
There's a pretty good program by Inesoft called Address Book. I've been using it for about a month (with WM6) and it works great. It will allow you to create custom fields in which to enter new names to store numbers under. So you should be able to create Mobile 1 and Mobile 2. It's not a free program though but they do offer a free trial. You can test it out and see what you think. Here's the link.

Will it sync wirelessly/OTA like the built in contacts app?
Jim
I've only tried it through activsync with bluetooth and USB and its worked well. From the looks of it, it seems like it will do everything that contacts did before.
not ideal but I just store there other numbers in any of the random fields left over. then to text them instead of just typing there name in the to section click to the left of it on he "To" and chose the contact from there, it'll let you pick any number

From that it sound's like it fully replaces contacts? Is that how it works because that would be good.. or if it extended the built in application that would be perfect...
I may have mis-understood though.. i guess what im asking is do you have to run a seperate contacts application or is it integrated into the messaging app etc to fully replace the built in contacts system?
Thanks,
Sam

It fully replaces your contacts. It won't delete it from your device though. You can still uninstall and get your original contacts back. But through my use everything that I now do will go through address book. Even the softkey goes to the new application.

im the kind of person that would be comepletly lost if i ever misplaced my x1, i dont know any1's # and i would lose all my appointments. in addition, i cannot have my phone on me during work hours.
is it possible to have an app that allows you to send it a sms (from a different phone) with the contact's name (maybe your password) and have it reply with the contact information of the person?

Nice, another chance to hand over personal info to Microsucks....
If you're not comfortable with microsoft holding your personal data, try Dashwire instead.
It's free and very good
Download and install the Dashwire panel from the SE panel page, create a dashwire account at www.dashwire.com and you're all set
Cheers

ok thanks, yea ive got dashwire (well not since i upgraded to touch-it 5 ).
i was just wondering if there was a different way. thanx!
I was using SPB Mobile Shell 3 on my last phone, and loved the ability to grab contact photos for my friends from Facebook. Is there any way of doing this with the TP2? If not, is there any way of using that part of SPB Mobile Shell functionality without losing TouchFlo?
TF3D gives you the ability of creating a favourite contacts list and allows you to connect to facebook for photos, it also gives mini updates and birthday information which is pretty handy.
I tried this one unsuccessfully. It listed my Facebook friends, etc. but when I tried to grab the photo, it just had the default picture with a Facebook icon on it
Works great here! Dutch version.

Yes, it does only use the Default photo. Try a program called BookSync, think this gives you more options but the developer is really good, so will adapt the program to suit needs most of the time.
i find the facebook integration on tflo3d excellent, would be nice to be able to set a different update option (its every 2 hours and i cant see a way of changing that) but the way it pulls photo and a little bit of info is great and works really well.
which facebook app are people using?
I'm using standard TF3D interface, working well
I'm using v1.0.0.7 of the "official" facebook app (i.e. the downloadable app from facebook.com). It's supposed to integrate with the WM phonebook but I can't find any menu options for that (e.g. to download photos, personal details, etc). Has anyone else managed to work out WM contact integration with this app??
the built in application didn't work for pictures, but I got tip for a SkyBook as per here http://www.magnifoca.com/download_skybook.html and it worked .. so now I got finally all the pictures updated
My problem with BookSync is that it requires .net 3.5.
Why??? It can't possibly need that.
Well it's strange, on most of my contacts the integrated app works fine. But for some contacs which 100% have a pictre, it just doesn't fetch it. The contact is linked, but the photo just not shown. Anyone has the same problem? or even better a solution?

Usually happens when you're too quick at linking the contact then leaving that contact and going to the next screen. Go back into the contact andclick on updates. Then click the menu on the right and click on the "Get Photo" again and stay in that page, it should bring it down.
Anyway to avoid having TF3D erase my original picture from teh profile with the facebook one ?

Ok Guys , here is an important question
I have about 177 friends that are on my TP2 phone book and also on my facebook.
It's a pain in the back to link each persons profiles to the phone book of the TP2.
Imagine you hard reset TP2 , you must do all this linking one by one again and again.....
Is there a way to Copy to facebook links to each dedicated peson. I would like to copy this file and overright the new file after a hard reset or phone change.
For example I also have a Touch HD with Rhodium Rom on it, when I moved all my contacts fom HD to touch Pro 2 , the facebook links did not transfer so I had to re-link this 177 persons one by one.
There are some facebook files, I copied some of them, overwrote the existing files but it didn't work.
I'm 100 % sure when there is a new ROM for the TP2 all of you will be looking for the same answer, let's find a solution for this now before it's too late )))

+1 to this suggestion.
However, if you sync it with your PC, shouldn't you be able to re-sync everything, including FB links? No?
Alternatively, there is a program I found called PIMBackup (google it! XD) that might do the trick of saving your contacts and their FB links in the event of a hard reset, but I honestly don't know, since I haven't hard reset my device as of yet.
I've been there , I ve done that
Outlook Synch or PIM BACKUP or Sprite Backup - NOTHING HELPS !!!!
All Facebook links to your contacts are disappeared............ when you hard reset your phone, image upgrading to other HTC Touch phone, same story, everything is gone.... You must re link all your facebook contacts to your TP2 contacts.
It's same with Diamond 2 and guys who use HD with Rhodium/Diamond Roms.
We need a solution for this !!!!!!!
Any body got an idea for this problem ???
We'll loose all facebook links to our contacts after a hard reset !!! How to backup and restore them ?
Since Froyo came on Nexus everyone was saying that now you can finally sort contacts by last name. Where can I find that option on Desire since I haven't got any setting or options in "People" (contact) app.
Am I missing something obvious?

It looks like unfortunately, not.
There is no option to sort by family name. Even in a cooked sense-froyo roms, if stock contacts-dialer app is inculded, the sorting by family name and search fuction are just not working.
In this moment I've few soultoin (but I'm not satisfied eider)
1. Use one of AOSP cooked rom (e.g Opendesire)
2. install 3td party apps, like BetterConttact (payd), DialerOne (free), beside the Peopple app. (This 3 app's are doing aas I want, but only separately, so somitemes I need to use one and other times other )
3. Change display name in People app one by one
Currently I'm on 2. but as I mentioned, I'm not really happy with that.
I have about 600+ contacts which are growing daily, doing number 3 is out of question.

I just measured that 23sec need to change one. So 600 contact changes takes less tha 4 hour. When I think about it, searching for solution have taken much more...
But agree, it's very booring task!
Are you syncing contacts with your gmail account?
If so this may be worth a try, assuming my memory isn't too addled.
When I first set up my phone I synced using active sync and my contacts where stored Surname, First Name. I later deleted my active sync connection and set up using the Gmail features and the contacts swapped to First Name, Surname.

I synced my contact to my google account since half year with my winmo as well, with no problem. In my contact list in the filed first name there is a first name, in the field last name there is a last name.... so everything is fine.
The only problem that HTC does not think that sorting by Family name is important... You know in some langueges (like mine) are sorted it this way.

Folks,
I need to have 2 mobile numbers in my contact for the same person.
It seems in HTC Desire is not possible. i'm using LeeDrOiD HD V3.3.3-Port-R5.
Is it possible to replace the People app with something else which support 2 or more mobil number in a contact ?
I know i can enable this if the contact is saved on google contact, but i do not want to use Google contact. Thank you.
why are you so complicated? are you syncing with outlook or something?
if not i would say you just use one of the other options...
go to contacts, edit contact, click on new, than on the white button near the number and maybe you try the "Second Number" i dont know if it serves your needs
but if someof my contact has a second number it has always a reason, so i put it to privat or work or car dunno ....
maybe i helped you deciding
Hi crendot,
Yes i tried put the second mobile number as other number such as 'work' or 'fax'.
It's just a matter of convenience.
Does anybody has a better solution ? Thanks.
Contacts - edit - add number - change fax / home what ever to mobile... put the number in....
If you can't do that... change to another rom
if its so important for you i have a other solution
its a workaround and not realy neat but it does its job
make a new contact with the mobilenumber you want, set it like you want and than go to the other contact where "mobile" is already in use.
just go at the top to the chain, to combine/link them together, here go to all contact, select the one you just made and tada both have mobile
best solution i can offer
have a nice day
is it really so complex add 2 mobile numbers in the same contact? at the moment im on cm, but even on sense rom u can do that simply..
@BigMrB
I can't do that. Do you know which rom that allows me to do that ?
@andQlimax
sense rom do not allow you to add 2 mobile number under the same contact.
@crendot
yes it's useful. but i think i'll switch to another rom. Thanks a lot for your help.

I have a very simple app request to target unlocked phones. Basically a one button switch between primary LiveID accounts based on sensboston's work: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1335240
1. Launch app
2. app asks for email address
3. user types in email address or selects email from list of last-used addresses
4. app asks "Are you sure?" with suitable warning
5. app writes selected email address to following regkeys:
Code:
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\ActiveSync\Partners\{B2830118-7BC6-4A74-8C9A-3D8B9CEF88E0}]
"Email"[email protected]
"User"[email protected]
[HKCU\Software\Microsoft\IdentityCRL\Environment\Production]
"DefaultID"[email protected]
6. app automatically reboots phone
Simple enough, right?

but you can revert it back, right?
The new LiveID could be associated to a different market zone, which you could use to buy some apps with your correct credit card infos, then revert back to your main LiveID, and regain all regular functionalities like auto uploads to skydrive, twitter integration, etc.
Am I right?

I'm so sorry but I can't confirm - just never tested this way. I've researched that hack 'cause damn Verizon blocked and deleted my very-very old email ( @verizon.net) what I've used during 11 years, and also as my LiveID email.
Wow dude thanks for writing the app so quickly. What is the etiquette for sharing apps? Are you supposed to share source code too? I don't want to be rude by asking you for the source
I don't use twitter, but I was able to upload a photo to skydrive just fine after swapping LiveID's. Steps:
reset my phone with my own liveID
download bunch of apps from appstore
dev unlock/interop, etc
manually edit registry and change to my wife's LiveID (she has zunepass on her ID which is why I wanted to swap to hers)
reboot phone
take picture
upload to skydrive
login to skydrive app and see that picture is there on *my* skydrive account, not my wife's
So skydrive integration with picture hub/camera obviously stored my liveID and credentials somewhere other than the regkeys I edited. Most likely Twitter is the same way.
I presume the credential data is stored encrypted in some weird GUID key with no obvious pattern. Too bad there is no regmon/procmon tool like on Big windows, otherwise I could figure it out in a few seconds... Although somehow I doubt that you can use provxml to import export those keys to re-write encrypted credentials. That would be a pretty bad exploit.
So I ran IDSwitch and it gave me the error "no root access". Hmm. So I went into WP7 Root tools and switched on "trusted" for the app.
So a pre-requisite for running the app is to have WP7 root tools? I'm kinda new at this so perhaps that is an assumption of any app that is going to do interop/native stuff? In order to get it to work you have to set it to "trusted"?
Anyway the app let me type in the new liveID and rebooted the phone, but upon booting up, it appears that the old LiveID is still there in the 3 registry settings. I ran it a second time and the app remembered the address I typed in so thats cool. BUt again after rebooting, it failed to modify the registry entries.
Can you post up a debug version with some breakpoints or console spew? I could try to attach a debugger on my end (not sure I know how to do that, but I can try to figure it out)

I uploaded the source. Should make things much easier
I tried it on Samsung Focus Mango updated with WP7 Root Tools. Even though it reboots but it does not change the primary id. After reboot when I open the app again, it shows the primary id as the old id and not the id to which I wanted to switch.
Found the bug. I used the content from to current ID textbox not the new ID textbox -.-
I guess nobody tested it or I am getting a different result. Here is what happens :
1. ID A which is primary ID in my Account with No CC.
2. I switch from ID A to ID B. ID B does not have a CC.
3. When I access Marketplace, The region used is according to ID B.
4. Next I Move to buy an App and it asks me to signin with ID A instead of ID B.
5. For free apps, I can easily download it without going to login page ever which is pretty obvious.
Today Evening I will try out to buy app by signing with ID A when it sends me to login page of ID B by first sigining out and then signing again.
Few things I noticed :
1. Facebook, Twitter, Skydrive all was working.
2. It takes a while for the OS to realize the ID is new and hence may take around a minute or more to change marketplace.
3. I downloaded a free app with the swtched id and used it without any issues.
4. I even updated a free App which was bought using the primary ID with the new ID.
5. Email ID A stopped working. It did not show any email nor it gave an error of wrong password which is pretty odd.
My Thoughts :
1. This will be useful for parents who have kids carrying a Windows Phone who do not want to give them credit card access but using this they might buy apps for kids.
2. I still need to test but this will work for IDs which are in same region. For example I have a US id to which if I want to add a CC, the country is fixed and hence I cannot use an Indian CC with it.

Try to reboot after LiveID change.
Just tried it out and it worked. The file was uploaded to Skydrive account of the primary Live id.
Wait... What "primary Live id" and what are you tried? New one or the old one? Have you tried:
- change LiveID to new one
- reboot handsets
- go to pictures hub and share picture to the SkyDrive ?
When I said Primary Live Id I mean the ID with which the phone was configured.
1.Phone configured with ID A
2. Change to ID B using the app, Reboot
3. Upload to Skydrive and it was stored in ID A Skydrive Account.
He-he, it's exactly what I mean by "not working". For example if you change first (original) LiveID email to the new one (as I had to do), you'll be not able to upload pictures to SkyDrive, and can't login to the Twitter account. So please do not confuse people.

Oh Ok I understand now what you said by breaking. The new ID cannot be used for Skydrive or Facebook or Twitter etc in short, anything connected with old Live id.
Basically its not a true switcher and can only be used to buy apps with the new account connected with CC
Hi all
The whole idea of this app is JUST to let you assign an account that will give u the ability to buy apps from marketplace using CC, if your original ID have problem with adding CC information. So it is not to change you ID permanently. You can read my thread if u want. Anyway thanks op for making the app.
I can confirm this works. Just bought an app using a different account and it works. Editing a video on this so will be up in couple of hours.
As promised, Here the link to the video we made http://youtu.be/2H7dr7ZzJZs
