Hi All,
I have just flashed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016940 and sycronized my phone with gmail. Unfortunatelly my names appeare the other way around in my Desire (first name last name).
I downloaded this: http://www.freewarelovers.com/android/app/namefixer and installed it with Astro. When I set everithyng up and hit "write names" is shuts down. I am searching the web for solutions for a while now, but found nothing.
I could fix this under the people menu as I can set how to sorte the names there, but I can not fix it under call.
Do you have any idea?
I have just checked that Desire see my contacts correctly last name is last name and first name is correct too. The question now is if I could soehow arrange the names for last name under the "call" menu too.
Thanks
On main screen(home screen) press phone then people then menu then settings and there you can change

Hi guys, just signed up to the forum after I bought the Desire yesterday. Spent weeks browsing these forums to help my decision, so many thanks!
Got a problem with adding a contact. Spent last night adding them in and I could get the option to fill First Name and Last Name fields, but I came to do it today to add some more and I don't get the First and Last Name fields....? I go to Menu > People > All > Add Contact > Name, but all I can do is type the name there, and as it has a cap on how many characters to use, some surnames arn't completed.
If anyone has some advice I'd be extremely grateful.
Cheers, Sean.
You can add contacts by typing the number first in your 'phone' application. A new option becomes available which states 'save to people' (depending on your language). Choose this option and then new contact. Then you can choose where to save it: phone, sim or google account. You can fill in all details > first and last name, email, numbers, birthday etc..
You can change the name in the top field, next to the camera icon.
Or you open the app 'people' in your apps list and choose to save the contacts either in sim, phone or google.
I have my google calendar synced with my Desire. No problems there. But is there any way I can move an appointment from one date to another?
I can't seem to find how to do it, and you can't drag it, so it seems the only way is to delete the contact, then recreate it on another day, which seems to be a bit of a drag.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ta.
Just click on the appointment in the calander, so it shows you the details. Then press the Menu button and choose Edit. Change the date there and save it.
Thanks, but I don't see 'edit' when I press the menu button, only 'add reminder', 'delete event' and share 'vCalendar'
That's strange. My menu key displays (among others) the Edit option as well.
This is even stranger...after updating with the new T-mobile update the other day, the 'edit' option has now appeared!
Oh well, problem solved I guess.
hello,
maybe a stupid question, so sorry in advance.
since my htc desire updated to froyo several months ago i have lost the ability
to copy and paste text from web pages etc. (the bit with the little green arrows you move around the text).
i can copy url's etc but when i tap and hold the screen on the web page, nothing.
it used to happen all the time by accident as well. any help in restoring this to my phone or if i'm just missing something settings is very much appreciated.
thank you.
Press menu then look for text selection or something similar

Thank you for your reply meaple. I'm afraid I've tried checking the settings on my phone, to the point of pressing every setting in the list. Alas, no luck. I have now emailed HTC but still waiting on a reply.

After updating to android 2.3, I have a strange issue with my HTC dialer (DHD, not rooted, LauncherPro):
1) I launch the dialer, it is empty. There are no contacts listed.
2) I type a contact name (sms style), the list stays empty.
3) I use the backspace button to remove the digits that I pressed
4) When all digits are remove, suddenly the list populates with my contacts!
5) When I now type a contact name (exactly like step 2) the list properly filters down accordingly.
Has anybody seen similar behavior? And possibly some suggestions to solve it?
BR,
Brrt
I had a similar problem, I tried an alternate dialler, which was fine. However, after an update it FC'd all the time, after un-installing the std dialler returned to normal. no problems since.

I had a same problem.
Solution: just clear the call history and everything will be fine.
Regards.
I also had that problem.
Thou, different solution.
Unpin phone shortcut on homescreen in Launcherpro, pin it again, and everything will be fine.
great, thanks all!
Markosmi, I've tried you're solution (unpin phone shortcut from launcherpro and add it in again) and that works superb!
Great! i'm glad that worked out without much fuss.
Hi guys,
I would to ask one thing.
I own a HTC One X. When I press the phone button and search a contact through SMART DIAL, my contacts appear 2 times, from my phone and from my SIM.
I don't mean the people section, there i manage to have my contacts once through people > phonebook and selected what i wanted.
I mean the SMART DIAL section. There, I have all of my contacts twice.
What can I do in order to appear only once?
I'm attaching a screenshot to understand exactly my issue.

Easy way: Use GODialer from market HERE
Harder (what i did): download Wondershare MobileGO HERE and edit it (dont forget to downloade MobileGO to your phone too HERE)
And you can try to hit the thanks button
Or I will just delete my sim contacts
Just remove contacts from sim?

go into your contacts settings and deselect the ones you dont want the phone to display, ie, sim, google, etc.
wow what an answers are given....
just do what graemeg said goto settings deselect sim contacs..
I would advise ( if u have np with google )
to save all the contacts to google, Easy to edit on your pc and always available
+1 to what graemeg said above. I too had this issue and deselected the source of duplication (phone in my case).
