All my contacts are sorted as Surname, Name. I prefer Name, Surname, but don't see any option to set this.
How?
As far as I know there is no such option. I have contacts sorted as name,surname and I want it as surname, name. Maybe we can change our contacts.
When I edit my contacts I get the choice of displaying either name, surname or surname, name but I had to do each contact individually.
Hope this helps.
Regards, Chris.

sorry can i noe wats the script to put so tat my button can get into message inbox straight away?
current script is \windows\start menu\messaging.ink
assign a button or create a *.lnk-file with the content:
23#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -Service "name of mail account" -open "inbox"
where name of mail account is the name of the mail account where you want to get. Don't forget the "" and mind the spelling of the account name (case-sensitive!). To get to sms inbox instead of an email inbox, use SMS as name of mail account.
good luck!
regards jan

If you want to assign the command directly to a button, you should leave out the "23#"-part... this applies only to the *.lnk-file
(I personally don't know exactly the meaning of that... AFAIK, the number is supposed to represent the number of characters in the programm link (without options(!?)), including the number and the '#' itself. However, my "*.lnk" files worked so far regardless whether i put the correct number or not... maybe somebody who knows can explain, pls!?)

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".
Does anyone please know the answer to the following problem?
I have imported all my contacts from Microsoft Office using HTC Synch. When I go to the 'People' tab, all the contacts display as First Name then Surname .
eg John Smith
In Outlook they were displayed as Surname, First Name.
If I edit the individial contact, I can choose between displaying as
John Smith or
Smith, John
I want the Smith, John option for all my contacts. Is there any way I can get all of my contacts to display in this format without having to edit them all individually? I can find nothing in the User Guide that helps...

Same problem for me : a bit hard to find someone by the firstname ...
And I don't want to edit each of my contact.
I've searched the web for an app. which does it properly but didn't find anything...
Anybody here who got a solution ?
From looking around it seems Googles thinking on this is "Don't sort...search"
I guess I just need to get used to hitting the search key and finding my contact that way rather than scrolling through a list. I know it's faster, but my brain keeps telling me it's the long way round. Weird.
I'm using DeFroST at the moment and am wondering how I can set 'my' contact picture. Other contacts are coming up in SMS threads, etc. but mine isn't and I can't find where to change/add it
Anyone care to point it out (if possible)?

This does not work if you already have your contact and do an update or install another rom. The following will work.
STEP ONE:
(Skip this step if you allready have a contact for yourself in you address book!)
Add a contact called (Me, Mine, Your Name)"who ever you want" with your phones 10 digit number, Join it with Google, Facebook and set a contact picture just like a normal contact.
STEP TWO:
Navigate to the following:
Menu:
Settings:
Call Settings:
Additional settings:
My phone number:
Enter your phone number "0000000000"
And your Picture from your contact address book will apear next to your sms.
bump app will create the 'my' contact too - or it did last time I used it
Just had this issue myself.. fixed it by making sure i had the Facebook For HTC account properly syncing, then adding the friendstream widget on a homescreen and letting it sync. then my picture was everywhere I was hehe
Hope that helps yours, I dont know much about that rom
Is there a way to change the name of a contact under their picture icon on the favorites page? Some names are too long and I like to shorten them. Have done this before but forgot. Dumb. Thanks.
