Is there a way to completely remove a Category (either a default Category or one created by the user) used in the Contacts list and in the Contacts Filter option? Thank you.
Did you ever resolve this?
I too wish to remove some categories. Were you ever successful at finding a solution for this?
Thanks,
Dave
You can edit Categories using Microsoft Outlook and sync back to the device.
Yes, I did it!
I installed Agenda One software which is a Contacts manager. In the Options, you can edit the categories. Presumably you could just do this on the trial version and then uninstall it, though I found it to be good software and bought it.

Interesting coincidence. I had a problem early last year with a category I didn't create (Seasonal) but appeared in ThumbCal and AgendaOne. I discovered that AgendaOne was the only app which allowed me to delete categories and sent Seasonal off to oblivian.
Since then I have been using ThumbCal and iContact instead of AgendaOne and after a hard reset last week was again presented with "Seasonal" and a new one "Favorites", another category I did not create. I searched throughout my device and was going to try to delete the categories using SK Tools, but decided to reinstall AgendaOne today just for the purpose of deleting them. It's tucked away on my storage card so I guess it's not hurting anything.
FYI, both of these categories do not exist on my desktop Outlook and SK Tools could not find reference to them in my Contacts, Appts or Tasks, but did find them in the database; CategoryMainDB, in pim.vol. SK Tools did have an option to delete individual categories, but I wasn't sure what would happen if I did. AgendaOne was a safer bet.
The reason why your Categories did not appear in Outlook was probably because you were looking at the Master List, while Categories created on your device had not been added to it.

Possibly, but the first time I noticed this, in my desktop Outlook I filtered all of my present and past; tasks, appointments, notes, journal and contacts, and could not find anything referencing the category, "Seasonal". I opened and inspected every appointment on my device forward and back a full year, especially holidays which were generated automatically, and still could not find this mystery category. I was determined to find out where it came from and was dissapointed when I couldn't locate its origin. I only use six categories; Business, Personal, FYI, Holiday, Travel & Mobile (for contacts only), so its easy for me to keep track of. I have never entered anything on my device or desktop referencing the categories; Seasonal or Favorites.
I have synced three times since deleting them with AgendaOne and the mystery categories have not come back. I use ThumbCal and iContact on my device so I can't create categories. I am still stumped as to where they come from but at leasted AgendaOne is a solution. I hard reset and reinstalled/resynced everything a week ago so its not like a reference to these categories were in Outlook and then got archived.
Believe me, I would love to know where they come from so I can prevent it from happening in the future. Once I get rid of them with AgendaOne, they go away until the next ROM flash or hard reset.
Nice to know there are other ways to get the job done.
I find the easiest way to sort through Categories in Outlook is to change the view to sort by Categories (To change the view on Outlook 2003, for example, View > Arranged by > Categories)
That way any entries assigned to "hidden" categories can come into view and can be moved or reassigned.
Categories on SIM
Just to refresh this thread, if you have ever had a problem deleting unwanted categories and the above solutions did not work, take a look at you SIM card.
On my new Tilt2 I had four categories that kept appearing after a soft reset, no matter how many times I deleted them using AgendaOne and SK Tools. I checked all my PIM data and even probed my registry with no luck. And I avoided syncing for two days to make sure that desktop Outlook was not the problem.
Then I took a look at SIM Manager and found five categories; Business, Friends, Family, Other and Services. Business was already a category in Outlook, but I didn't want or need the other four. If you go to Menu/Tools/Group Name you can edit or delete any or all of the categories. I renamed a couple to existing categories in case I ever do want to dump contacts onto SIM and deleted the other two.
No more rouge categories.
Done with SKTools
Same problem resolved with SKtools/Databases/CategoryMainDB. Action/View content. Select un(desired) category then Action/Delete to delete that record from database.
Hey guys,
Justa few quick questions ...
Is there an application or something that will log all the apps I have downloaded via my account and list them for me, so when I do a backup I knwo what I had before?
Is there an app to list the above AND download the latest versions without me having to manually do anything (Shashimi for Android).
I have loads of text on my Tytn is there an easy way to back these up in a rar file or something. I don't want to import them to the desire just store them.
I sue S2U2, I like the Android lock screen BUT I like being able to view my texts/emails without unlocking the device, what options do I have?
Lastly, is there an app to automatically backup your text on a weekly basis and email it to your gmail as an archive? I want it to also ignore the previous week's text.
Am I asking too much L.o.L.?

I don't have an Android phone yet ...and won't do until 7/8/9-April... but playing with my wife's Hero this is what I know...
You seem to have to create a level of Google account in orpder to purchase from Android Market and logging into your Google Account and going to Android Market will bring up a list of your previously downloaded apps.
I haven't found a stand alone app for this but purchasing your apps through AppBrain.com and using their AppBrain app seems to do what your asking. AppBrain doesn't seem to list all apps though - definitely missing UK specific apps such as Beebplayer.
I've had WinMo phones for the past 8 years and never heard of a facility to do this - if there is one I'd be chuffed to hear about it myself.
Dunno - someone else will have to answer this one I'm afraid
I believe that most backup apps will do a scheduled backup - Sprite Backup definitely does but to the SD Card only (no automailer), but WRT ignoring previously backed up messages I've not heard of this feature in any backup app.
I hope this helps to some extent.

AppBrain allows you to create lists on their site, so when you change phones or wipe it, you can tell it to reinstall the whole list. I did that when I moved from G1 to Desire -- worked like a charm.
I have loads of text on my Tytn is there an easy way to back these up in a rar file or something. I don't want to import them to the desire just store them.
You should ask that in TyTN forum

Flyscreen

SMS backup
P.S. sorry, I was lazy and did not include links -- google is your friend

You can store all your text messages online with Microsoft My Phone or else store them on your PC.

THANKS ALL!
Will have a look at this FabianNL as if I can export to individual files then I will be happy. To be honest it isn't a big deal .
Been playing with my Desire for a while, I can see the appeal of Android it's quick, big buttons, keyboard isn't back considering I'm coming from Tytn (as well as a Touch HD but that was BAD).
My next step is ... what programs should I "replace"? I'm refering to applications like mail, text/messages, etc the build in ones.
I am though over the moon with the device the text input ROCKS! I do have a list of applications I need suggestions on though ... I'm used to the following on Windows Phone so I need an Android variation ...
G-Alarm - A Comprehensive alarm application
G-Profile - easily change my profiles from night, work, home, etc, this would be great as a widget
Task Facade - A general task manager that will show all my running applications and let me close/switch
Wake On Text/Email/etc - As it says ... and stay awake until message has been read!
Lock Without using Power button - easy ...
That's about it for now
I use Klaxon for my alarms.
SMS Popup will turn on the screen when you get text messages (not sure if there is similar for emails) and can give reminders untill it's read.
As far as profiles, then would HTC's Scenes not do the trick? Failing this Locale can automagically turn on and off services and silent/loud the ringer based on various criteria like time and location.
You can easily switch to recent apps by pressing and holding the home key
And there are loads of Task Managers on the market for killing running apps
What does sense have for managing profiles?
Hi,
I would like replace my TyTn II to HTC Desire but Im not shure if I will be happy with Desire(Android)...
Main things which wory me are:
1.)Synchronization with PC with USB cable. I DON'T want and will not sync with google account. All I need is same automatic sync line with activesync. I need sync Contacts, Calendar, Emails(Configure which folders), Task's, Notes. Sync will be done with MS Outlook 2007/2010.
2.)Is possible set more than one email account? I need 3x pop3/smtp email accounts.
3.)Is possible disable threaded SMS/MMS? I realy hate this function.
4.)Is there any app which allow connet to windows remote desktop(RDP and not any 3rd party VNC or other)?
5.)Is there some app/pack which can work with word, excel, power point files?
6.)Does included browser support certificates? I know that opera mobile on WinMo do not support it, so I can't manage cPanel server, make payments(bank)...
I think that this is enought for start
Thanks for any help and answers.
Best regards, _Dejan_
Maybe I have a bad day today, but I HAVE NO IDEA how to set this thing up.
Just don't get it.

Thanks! It's actually either fast neither easy.
I mean NOBODY would find it itself.
I've had a great hope can get all the bookmarks from IE to my device
but it's apparently not going to happen.
Luckily we have a great OperaLink..
Thank you anyway!

The purpose for these types of apps isn't really to send yourself a bookmark for a main website, but more to send a complicated link to save you typing in a 180 character or so URL into your HD7, or having to open up your email and copy / paste a link to yourself (spamming your own email in the process).
For example; I'm on my PC browsing deviant art and I see a cool image that would make a great lockscreen wallpaper for my HD7. I right click somewhere on the page, select "Send to Windows Phone". I pick up my phone, open the "Send to WP7" app, and there's my link to that page. I can now use that image as my wallpaper.
Similarly, if you're reading an article on some website and you've got to get to work but want to finish reading that article on the bus, just send it to yourself with this app and easily pick up the same page on the bus!
It's an incredibly handy and ingenious app in my opinion... with lots of ingenious uses if you can think them up.
I sent a question to the dev that I haven't seen an update for - how to remove those darned links when you're done with them. Until then, the app is useless for me, but it does have potential...

There is now an alternative paid-for app called Browser to WP7 that works on the same idea except it allows links and text to be deleted. It also categorises them in the app and allows you to share them by sms, email, search with bing etc.
I'm waiting to see if Send to WP7 gets any future updates because it's currently free and works pretty well for me.

Hey guys - never noticed this thread until today. I am the author of Send to WP7.
Send to WP7 has the ability to delete links (as of the update several days ago - I was stuck in limbo for several weeks. )
Multi-delete is coming in an application update next week.
Send to WP7 has a live tile # indicating how many links you need to download to the phone. You can already send a link via SMS or Email, just tap and hold, select 'Show All', and then click the mail icon. I'll add more options to the 'right-click' menu soon. I didn't think there was much of a reason for things like 'Search with Google' or 'Search With Bing' (wouldn't you have just done these things on your PC anyway?), but I may add things like that in the future.
Send to WP7 will remain free.
Apologies to the OP for not understanding how to setup the software, I still assert that it is not very complicated if you just read the instructions carefully. I do think I need some updates/screenshots to the setup page, though. On that note, I was never able to figure out how to configure 'Browser to WP7' to use anything but Chrome...
I thought it was simple to use and easy to setup but then again I've been using Chrome to Phone for ages with my Desire now.
hi davux,

will be great ^_^
i still dreaming can send picture from my browser to wp7 .

Hi cxkx -
Note that Send to WP7 Desktop is an alpha release, I have not built any functionality into the phone app to support it yet. In it's current state, it is best for transferring files. Sending an SMS or Email does "work", but you'll then have to tap & hold the item and select Send via mail. The real name for these items should be something like "prepare SMS/mail."
Again just note that this is all in flux, but I wanted to get it out there so those who really wanted the functionality could have it immediately.

I don't quite understand, how do i send an sms? Press the button on the desktop app, nothing happens, am I supposed to write a txt file, send to phone and then send as sms? will the txt file be read and added or will it be an attachment?

Yes, you enter a message (and optionally a destination contact number, but this won't work until I add support into the phone app itself) and click send. The message is sent to your phone using exactly the same means as the note. If you have enabled push notifications, you'll get a toast. Tap and hold the entry on the phone, and select 'Send info via SMS'. It is not the most elegant procedure, I know...
I ve tried sending the clipboard contents but it didnt work, anything I copy in iexplorer though can be send, maybe a plain html page where you can write and then send using the accelerator will do the trick. Keep on the good work!

"It didn't work" is not useful for anyone trying to solve any kind of problem. If you'd like help in configuring the desktop software (I suspect that is the only problem you're having), email me the log (located at %localappdata%\sendtowp7desktop\log.txt) to dave at dave amenta dot com.

I'm not sure why it says the program is executing from C:\Windows\system32, maybe that is related. Usually ClickOnce will set that to your profile (e.g. C:\Users\CK)
It appears that you're getting jumplist callbacks for sending notes, but nothing else - they all use exactly the same mechanism so I'm not sure what'd cause that. It appears you are using a localized version of Windows, what language/locale are you using?

I had asked this back in December in the general section, but I think this is where I should be asking this question. I was wondering if there is a way to edit all of the contact information similar to what is seen in the Gmail web interface? I have looked around, but haven't found anything. I know what comes standard, but is there an app that will plug into the Gmail interface directly so we can customize the labels of the numbers and address, or modify prefix/suffix information? If there isn't, would this be feasible to program, or is there no way to access the Google contacts in that way? I search the forums, but I didn't see much about contact editing.
Thank you, and have a great day!
I even don't know what keywords to use in search to find what I want.
I'll tell my question in descriptive way.
I have tourist application which shows me point to see.
When I click 'go to it' - I have choice. I can pick up Google maps or navigation.
Problem is that I have two navigations and would like to use the other but it is not on list.
Somehow application knew that I have navigation. Why didn't it pick up both?
Does user has any way to intervene and add extra choice?
This is real life example but this situation occurrs on other areas.
For example I want share a file, picture or something else.
One app allows me select AndSMB to send file, other doesn't have it on list however both use sharing feature and must be able to review phone to know what they have till hands..
It is general question but i preferred to stick to my phone model, just in case if it is significant..
Any ideas?
Choose the apps you mention, open in Settings -> Apps and click on Clear Defaults!
Not sent by me.
Yes but later you still can assign as default only one of suggested.
Question is - how to add one which doesn't appear on screen.
