Hi all you great helpers out there! I've gained so much knowledge from all you guys on this forum. It's soooooo helpful!!! Thanks!!!
When I receive a vcard via sms, I click on the vcard in the sms reader and up pops the message "the vcard has been imported successfully".
Great me thinks!
But when I actually try to find the contact in my contacts, it simply isnt there!!!!
HELP!!!
Thanks a billion for your help!
I had the same. In the end I selected the phone number and pasted it in a new contact manually :-(
Well, here's some things I know and maybe this will help you out.
vCards are imported into the phone memory. You don't have a choice.
If you have set you phone to view only a certain type of contacts (e.g. just Google contacts) then you won't see any contact sent to you via SMS or MMS. If this is the case, the just go to People - Menu - View and select the phone contacts to view as well.

Thanks for this. I've checked, but sadly, my people view isn't restricted yet I still can't see the contact my phone told me that it just saved.

Hi guys,
I have a question about the text messages (SMS). When you receive an SMS, it will show you the date when the SMS was received but it DOES NOT show you what time the SMS was received. Is there ANY way to turn this on?
So besides the date, I also want to know on what time I receive my SMS messages.

It shows me the date AND the time on mine, I don't know why it doesn't on your device.
Where does it show the time then? All I see is:
- Name
- Text itself
- Date
- Size of message in Kb
Perhaps my version on WM6 is a bit messed up. You prolly have to Official WM6?
On the list view the time is not displayed, but when you open the individual messages it is.
(Official WM6 ROM)
noticed the side bar? it has extra space going up, when you push the dpad upward it shows the details. maybe they thought it would save some space, because no everybody wants to see the full detail. But I agree with you, its nice to see the date and time, so just scroll upward and you'll see it.

Hi there,i'm looking for a solution about an sms bug i have noticed on my P3600(udk 3.0 ITA WM6 FE)
When i receive an sms and i go to my sms list i see that the system orders them according the time/date of the sender and not the time/date of my p3600.
That means that if i receive an sms now from my girlfriend who lives in Australia(8hours time difference from Italy where i live)and then i receive other sms from my contacts from Italy, the list shows first the "australian" sms and then the "italian" ones!
Is there any solution to fix this bug or it's just that my P3600 gives priority to my girlfriend's sms???
Another issue: does somebody knows who to see the photo of the contact when you receive a sms?
In palm os there is a new app called picturesms but I don't know an app with this functionality for wm.

If the person who sends you a sms is in your contact list and if you have assigned a photo to that contact, when you open that sms, you should see his photo. It works automatically on my device, no more app needed.

When your using outlook, you assign pictures for every contact, when you sync it to your pocketpc it automatically shows the pictures, no extra software needed, saves a lot of space. of course you need to open the sms in order for you to see the picture, same goes with email etc.
but if you really want a 3rd party software try googling photo contacts.
Please save a poor woman from getting unwanted texts
I run a junior football squad.
One of the 'soccer mums' originally gave me a wrong mobile number starting 07940 ... which resulted in a poor woman getting lots of texts from me.
I corrected the number on the contact to 07540 ...
If I send a text directly the text goes to 07540 ...
If I reply to a text from 07540... the text actually goes to the 07940 number
If I try and dial 07940... then it comes up with no suggested numbers/contacts. When I receive a text from the poor pestered woman it still comes up with the contact name.
So. I tried deleting the contact (John Smith) and recreated it using a different name (John S). I can no longer find a John Smith in my contacts (even when ticking all the sources to look in - GMAIL, FBOOK etc).
However Gesture Search still finds a John Smith somewhere I have refreshed the index and even reinstalled gesture search but it still finds a John Smith.
Also the SMS thread containing a variety of the 07540 and 07940 numbers all now say they are from JOHN S.
Im confused but the woman receiving rogue texts is getting very p****d off.
Anyone ???
Is it possible that the rogue number is synchronised to your Gmail account, so even if you delete it, it will resync to your phone? Check your gmail account for that number.
Also go to the good number and make sure it's not linked to the rogue one.
Tried that. The contact john smith isn't on my gmail at all. The only place I can find it is using gesture search
Worst come to worst, Settings > Privacy >Factory data reset.
have you tried changing the default number in use in the people app?
Hi,
I've recently gone to DeFroST ROM from Sense based ROMS and have come across the following issues that I can't work out:
1. Group texts (SMS/MMS). In the 'To' box, you have to type the first few letters of each contact. Is there no way it can just display a list so I can select the contacts I wish to text? Or create/select a group? I can't always remember everyone!
2. Saving contacts. When saving a number/adding a contact, where is the contact saved, SIM/Phone? How can you specify this? Once saved, how can you copy it to the Phone/SIM (depending on the default save location). I can see this causing issues if I need to use another phone for whatever reason and I don't have all contacts on my SIM. I know there is a 'export to sd' option but that may not work for another phone.
Thanks.

Did you get this figured out? I am trying to do the same thing. I want to create a text group.
Having a small issue with contacts. I can get twitter/FB to sync pics and status updates for everyone of my contacts, but not for myself. I am running CM7 RC1. I know this isnt a big thing, but I dont understand if it can like for every other contact why it wont pull my own info for mine.
It will if you make a contact with your info in it
Sent from my T-Mobile myTouch 3G Slide using XDA App
There is already a contact with my info on it.

Well, technically, you aren't a "friend" of yourself on facebook, nor do you follow yourself on twitter, so they have nothing to link to. Just download your profile picture onto your phone and manually attach it to your contact. I don't even have a contact for myself, I don't see the point.
One potential reason for having yourself as a contact is having your own picture show up in SMS conversations.
Ah, I use handcent sms, where you can manually set your own contact picture without actually creating your own contact, I guess that's why I don't have a contact for myself.
Like I said, just download your profile picture to your phone and manually set it as your contact picture? That should work just fine.
hey guys
even after set picture for my contacts ! when phone ringing or when i call that person ! the contact picture dosnt show !!

Same Issue
I'm having the same issue, I haven't figured out a way for it to work....it's definitely a bug
All of my contacts are saved as Google contacts and the contact pics display when dialing and receiving calls. Unless you really need them to be phone contacts, export them save the file (check the file to be sure all your contacts exist), then import the file, select your gmail amount when promoted. I'm not sure if this process will keep your contact pics.
