Show contact list - Windows Mobile Software Development

Hello;
I'm interesting if there is a option to show all contacts in WM "native" contact list. I'm able to get all contact from OutlookSession, but gte all contacts and draw there photo, name.. is to slow.
But contacts on my Raphael are shown in very pretty list, with "letter filters" on right side and it's very fast.
Thx for answers

[IDEA] New Manila Tab dir change for messaging?

On the email tab and message tab, Is it possible to rediret the command (when pressing the message) to the new manila contacts tab, which has messaging preview and composing? Much better then the outlook.
I wondered the same. One drawback is that viewing the messages in this "app" doesn't mark the messages as read :/
intresting point, surely if you can change the regisitry for that you could add one to mark the message as read?
New Manila is becoming close to how well the iphone apps are intergrated, ashame the largest software company in the world (no names mentioned) who has been develpoing this for years has failed to put a seemless ui together.... very sad.. that calender, outlook and contacts are so lame looking and functions, its looked and worked the same for years.

Multiple Contact Lists

Is there a way to setup multiple contacts lists? I would like to have 1 list for friends and a separate list for business rather than having a single list of all of my contacts.
Thanks in advance.
Edit your contacts and give them a category. Edit them by scrolling to the bottom and press "Others" (translated from my Chinese version, so look for something similar). By default there's Personal, Work, Holiday, etc., and you can define more yourself.
Once you have contacts with categories, you can open the menu (right button) in contacts, and choose "Filter".
Thanks. That works. Is there a way to set a default filter? The filter always goes away when I leave my contacts page and return.
I have no idea about how to make the filter stick... I doubt it's recorded in the registry at all.
It might work if you keep the Contacts running... i.e. by switching tasks, or by adding it to the registry so that it is not closed when you press "X".

TF3D - Contact Photo Questions

Anyone know what the proper size of contact photo's should be so they are not blurry as heck in the contacts tab?
I've tried large and small, all sorts of sizes, and the photos are always blurry for whatever reason.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Yeah it's really annoying. Something to do with the syncing between PC and phone, I think.
Contact photos size:
150x150 works fine for me.
Hope that helps.
wow. searching through XDA archives, I discovered-
if you set the contact pictures THROUGH THE TF3d interface, the contact photos are sharp and crisp. if you do it through the WM interface, its blurry.
just tried it, and it works.
what a wack non-sense way of doing it. I had to set all my contacts as favorites in the TF3D tab, change picture, then remove as favorite.... and now they are all nice and crisp photos.
I was all excited when I started to read this but then I was dejected....I have 200+ contacts and you can only select one "favorite" at a time...not.going.to.happen.
if you set the contact pictures THROUGH THE TF3d interface, the contact photos are sharp and crisp. if you do it through the WM interface, its blurry.

Heres how I did it:
1.) make your caller pics 280x280x72dpi
2.) Go to TF3 "My Favorites" tab->All Contacts
3.) Pick a contact you want to add the pic to
4.) Menu->Edit Contact
5.) Click picture icon in top right of screen->Open Album
6.) Menu Albums->navigate to your 280x280x72dpi caller pic
7.) it may be slightly too big so it will ask you to crop it, just click OK
8.) Done->Done->Back
9.) Now erase the contact from Favorites and Re-Enter it, nice hi-res pic should be flippable
Here's a generic caller pic to work with

272x272 , thats the exact default picture size the device set for the contacts pictures.

I don't think that this is the right decision for contact picture integration,
because I have hundreds of contacts..
I can't manually editing every picture for every single contact(even if i use only 20 of over 500 numbers), and after that all these point after point that you described...
Am I right ?

I dont know about the facebook pictures, but this is the only way to assign a particular hi-res photo to a contact. Like you, I also have about 20 out of 200 contacts that I use pictures with, and anyway TF3D "My Favorites" only allows you 15 pics. It really doesn't take that long to assign photos to 15 contacts, but if you find a better way please post it here.
Any answer or registry tweak yet? I have the same problem!

"All Contacts" vs "My Contacts"

Gmail automatically adds contacts you've emailed into your contact list, they belong to "All Contacts" group.
Manually added contacts belong to "My Contacts" group.
But I couldn't get the phone to display *only* "My Contacts". (Contacts -> Hide/Show -> Google...)
Tried Googling the issue, solutions available but don't seem to work on Defy/Motorola.
Any idea?
Thx in advance.
Anyone...?
I have the same problem, which I posted to the Motorola Owners forums as well, only I don't just want to not display those contacts, but prevent then from syncing as well. I can't yet post working links:
supportforums.motorola.com/thread/47333?tstart=0
After syncing my new Defy with my Google account, I've found all the contacts in the phone - not just the meaningful ones from My Contacts that have phone numbers and names - but every last single email address has created a separate contact in the phone.
My question is this: how can I limit the synced contacts to a group, like My Contacts in GMail?

So far, I have not found a way to limit the display or the syncing of these contacts.
There are 2 apps for contacts, the one that is embedded in the dialer (the one that SUCKS), and the other is a stand alone Contacts which allows yo Manage groups in a certain way. I'd like to have good one embedded in the Dialer next to Recent and Favorites.. but im no dev. An certainly is annoying having to switch between them.

selecting Contacts in List by letter

Hi, I just bought a new Pro 8...running Nougat 7...when I open Contacts I see all of them as I page down, BUT unlike my Contacts on my old S3, there is no 'by letter' designation to select from; only paging down to find the specific on.
Is there a way to show a letter on the side that will move the Contact screen to that group of Contacts ?
Thanks for your inout
RL
Hi there,
I think you want to view your contacts by selecting an alphabet which some of your contact names begin with? I have my phone updated to Oreo. I see the alphabets in the Contacts list in the right side. I touch the alphabet "M" it takes me to contacts whose names starts with "M". It is there in H8Pro, check again.
Bests.
