Keyboard nuisance - HTC Excalibur

Can someone please tell me how to fix the following?
If I am on the homescreen [Kavana 6.1] and I want to call someone, I will type in their name. If for example I want to call someone named Jill, I can type it out and it will appear on the screen as "JILL" and match up to the proper contact. However, if I type a name like Sammy, it will alternate between letters and the numeric keys to produce something like "4#.."
How can I change this?

same thing
i had the same thing happen to me earlier but the name that i was looking for was in the list too so i just selected it. no biggie.

I highly don't think there is a fix.

hhaha

He is using the new Rose rom that he created...

hmmm...I just might have to try it out

Even the "rose" rom does it. Sorry NRG lol
I have the rose rom and i tried looking for "Jenn"
What is going on is that if the letter falls on a number in the search field, it is defaultet to showing the number. The phone thinks you wanna enter a number to dial.

Don't forget you need to soft reset your device after making registry changes.

Ho to Add More Contacts to CphotoDialer

I have 12 contacts on my Cphotodialer. I wanted to know how you could add more. Say what if you wanted 30 or 40.... Would you just make a new registry entry and that's it. Know cpr or xml change? Just wondering. Think it would be nice to have some more.
Just registry entries. Add more pages, under hklm/security/chome/defaultsettings/cphotodialer and hklm/software/microsoft/chome/photodialer ....
I tried to just copy the lnk file for contact 12 and paste it into a different directory so that I could change what it said and then rename it to contact13, but after I do that. Nothing happened in my panel. I updated the registry in both places with a page 13 exactly as the other contacts are in the panel. I want to know what I am doing wrong. If I have to create a new contact13h.lnk and contact13m.lnk files, how do you create a lnk file? thanks for all the help
did you change pages at the bottom of hklm/security/chome/defaultsettings/cphotodialer it looks like
Pages Page1,Page2,Page3,Page4,Page5,Page6,Page7,Page8
I am looking for upwards of 20-25. I know that seems like a lot, but I like to have options. I just wish I knew what to do to make them myself. I don't want to have to depend on you guys to the hard work like some people do. I am just thankful to have the knowledge guys.

you do realize it will be quicker just typing in the first 3 four letters of any part of the name and the contact will show up. from home screen.
Yeah, but I still would like the option to choose. Plus, like I said it's nice to have the knowledge. "He who hath knowledge, hath power."

Thanks a million bro!! This totally did the trick. I feel so stupid for not noticing this on my own. Guess cause I've been going light speed for too long. Anyway, works perfect. Rock on ROM master.

Contacts File As

Anyone know how to save the default file type for contacts to display first name then last name?
+1 for that
You can change that in Outlook!
Here you go try this. Found It awhile ago but not to sure where in the threads. All credit goes to the author

That won't work for contacts I add manually on my phone or when someone sends it to me via bluetooth.

How to find out received SMS sender's number

Is there a way to find out from which number has an sms arrived, when more than one number is associated with the sender?

Nice question!
This happens because of microsoft: They do not understand that in other countries, unlike the United States, pepople have more that ONE mobile phone..
So they don't handle this situations.
I solve in a silly way.. But i don't have evidence that works: i simply replay to the sms.. And I see what number it uses for destination.
Ohh I see.
If it really uses the number in the reply which was used to send the sms, then it is a good workaround.
But we cannot be sure, can we?
Maybe someone has already made a simple app/plugin/whatever to find out the number or something?

I'm sure of it
It's no different from replying to an email when sender has more than one email address in your Contacts - your reply goes back to the address the sender used to send the original message. It's behaviour by design.
I was farting around the other day and came across an app that (if I recall correctly) does that. I am really sorry because I cannot remember the name of the program, but I will try to re-trace my farting around and if I come across it, I'll post back here.
Ok, thx!

Contacts of Same Name Merging

This isn't really a Desire specific annoyance, I think it's since Android 2.1
All contacts with the same name would automatically merge on the phone, although they are different people (with the same name)
Does anyone know how to stop the contacts merging ?
You mean,they have same name and surname?
In that case,you can use their miidle name or nickname.

But the database is used for business so they don't have nicknames and a lot of them don't have middle names, so the only way is if there's a way to turn it off or remove the code to do it
let me try to sum what you are trying to say
1. Xavier Spencer 12321456
2. Xavier Spencer 13546798
i dont really think this is a problem "frankly". just my opinion ....

I'm not being funny...but exactly how many people with the same first AND last name do you have on your phone?
Seems like a pretty rare problem. I've seen people with the same name on the Exchange server at work and they all then have to provide a middle initial. Failing that we all have our departments abbreviation at the end of our name.

Pretty sure the question is, "does anyone know how to stop the contacts merging", NOT do u agree this is a problem...
I had problem with Name and Name*, they were merged so i ended up sending nasty message to neighbor instead my girlfriend...

I am pretty sure that this is not a problem. I don't see how anyone can tell by the name that it is a different person if it is the same name . Unless u are a psychic

I got contact pictures for every person, so yes I do know the difference between them, but when they merge I can no longer recognise each person
And you all have your opinion whether you think this is an issue or not, but I'm just simply asking does any of you know how to stop it, I don't care whether you think there's a need to stop it
Just put the company name as Lastname.
So Mr Joe Another from Contoso Corp would be
First Name: Joe
Last Name: Another Contoso
Whilst Joe Another from Kebabs Limited would be
Joe
Another Kebabs
?
I wish I could do that with them all, I'd be happy with that, but my dad has the same annoyance and he has a bit of OCD so it's all got to be perfect
If no one knows, I'll try opening up the APK later and try stopping it myself

Once again you appear to have missed the question...
Anyway I think the point is that most non-android handsets would ask if you wanted to merge the contacts or create them separately instead of assuming they should automatically be merged. This isn't specific to just business contacts, my father and I have the same name (which by no means is an uncommon occurrence) so anyone with an Android handset would have both our numbers in the one contact. This is far from ideal and although there may be workarounds such as nicknames, there should be a better solution.
Try this:
Create new contact with same name.
Save contact then open it.
You should see link icon in the top right corner.Click on it,then select Clear suggestions.
After that,you will have 2 contacts with same name.
Just tested for myself. It works!
