How to enable alphabetic sidebar for contacts?

Hey all,
in WM6 there is (on some roms) a slim "sidebar" next to the contact list with A-Z on it.
It helps you navigate quickly. Does anyone know how to activate it? A friend of mine had it but accidentally disabled it, now we cant figure out how to enable it again.
If you do not know what i am talking about, you can see it on this picture (second row, second column):

Thanks a lot.
PS: I tried the search but its kind of hard to find if you dont know what its called.

Hi Cipi,
thanks... it works very well...
To disactivate the old "letter-bar" at the top of the screen you have to click: Menu-->Options-->unflag first option...

nice hint...works now!!!
Thanks

Thanks for the tip.
However, my Random Access bar only works 70% of the time. The rest of the time only a simple scroll bar appears.
It seems to work more often if I launch Contacts then fully exit and re-launch Contacts a second time. Wierd.
Anyone else experience this?

i installed this, but the vertical alpha list bar does not work.
i do not even see the app under program window. do i need to invoke this?
how do i make this work??

Anniversary SMS (autosend)

Hi,
I am looking to find a simple utility that would send a pre-defined Birthday / Anniversary sms to my contact based on the dates already available in Windows Mobile Contact information.
I have tried searching on this forum and on the net but to no luck. Does anyone know of any such software. The closest I could get was RJ SMS Scheduler but it requires us to feed in a schedule. I wish to find something that can look up the contact list and pick dates itself.
Thanks,
Umesh

Message taken! you could say I am lazy, unintentionally though, mostly due to lack of time. Intentionally, I would like not to miss a single event of the 400+ contacts I have on my phone list.
Can only imagine how glad they would be to hear from me on their special days and how happy I would be to know that I would never miss any good wishes for any of my good friends.

I checked this software but it is quite similar to so many others available on net. It requires us to set up a schedule to send the sms to particular contacts.
Instead I am suggesting the app could pick dates itself from the Window Mobile's Contact List and send sms from templates, we create and save in there. This way we do not have to add birthdates / anniversaries to Contact List and then set up another scheduled sms through a third party application for our purpose.
I hope I have managed to explain what I am looking for.
Thanks,
Umesh.

Ah, I see what you're asking for now. I don't know of anything that can do that, but it would be a good idea!

Any thoughts from anyone else to share knowledge of such an application ?
Thanks.

Not that easy
I'm looking for such application since a long time, but no luck. The application should also consider the following requirements:
MUST HAVE:
- choose the correct phone number, cuz the text messages should be sent only if a mobile number is available for the specific contact;
NICE TO HAVE:
- built the text message with a variable string where automatically should put the name of the contact;
- should have the possiblity of exclude some contacts from the auto-SMS in order to avoid sending the pre-configured SMS to your girlfriend for example
Will see if someone can manage it in the future.
P.S.: I have more that 400 birthday to remember
Ciao!

Thanks Mohit for putting this together. I've set it on my system though had some issues with display on Touch HD but was able to use the controls and set it up. Couple of questions that I had in mind -
1. Does it have to be left running at all times or can I at least shove it off my running task list.
2. Every time I add a new contact and his / her birthday do I have to update this software too to add the new contact to it's list.
But otherwise it seems to be a nice piece of work.
Thanks,
Umesh.

Hi Umesh,
Thanks,
well no need to keep it running as i am using notification que to run it at the designated time. like an alarm. so u can just exit after setting up every thing from options->save n exit
and about updating new contact u just need to open the app and click options-> "add contacts bday", it will automatically fetch the new one and update it. also it will remember the last message u had set up.

Neat Trick

Take a look at this http://wmpoweruser.com/make-your-wp7-lock-screen-transparent-to-show-homescreen/ Neat!

Hi guys, glad you liked it I might mess around with more wallpapers to see if I can come with with anything else interesting. If there are enough going around, I'll create a new section on my blog with a list of wallpapers.

I don't have access to a Trophy, but if anyone else tries this, could they please mention the model they have and whether or not it works. I'll update the blog post with the information. Thanks

Hi hboos,
Try sending it from another account, as Avandor did. I sent mine from my Hotmail account. When you download, don't download the entire message. Click on the PNG attachment and then wait a few moments. Once the 'cancel' button next the attachment disappears, click again. This should open it in the picture viewer with the option to set as wallpaper. I'll update the blog post to see if anyone else with an Omina has tested it.

ok working now , dif email

Hey thanks man.
i did as you said and it works
if you save the image and change it from the saved image then it doesn't work..
strange
but good work dude!

Thanks for the feedback guys! It's strange that the transparency is lost if you load the image via the normal route. Might be one of the reasons the Zune software doesn't sync PNG files.

Created a new one for fun. Takes advantage of the fact that the screen isn't loaded until the lock screen is activated.
Image I used:
Image link

if you change it just make sure you save the email so it can reload.

I cant its a korean widget just worked out it wont work overseas for alert cards.

You should ask on whirlpool - Pafc66

I reside in hong kong and the widget app seems to be working fine on most part. I say this because when its raining in HK, the phone says "Rain/Snow" and the animation shows a bunch of snow falling. This is kinda funny cuz its currently 30 degrees c and the phone is not smart enough to determine that it can't snow under such weather condition.

The problem you have now is you are really deep with the lie that it's becoming a tad pathological.
Let me set it out for you:
1. Your username here is 'Mickhaz12'. Your whirlpool email address starts with 'Mharro88'.
2. Your posts on Whirlpool are almost identical to the posts here about a very, very specific issue.
3. You live in Melbourne here and on Whirlpool.
4. Your posts on Whirlpool mirror your first one on here stating: 'So no1 has any idea i take it...'. You said the same thing on Whirlpool.
5.. You make mention on here of 'Whirlpool' knowing clearly what it is.
You really have two options:
a. Salvage some credibility and say: 'yeah fair enough - i went too far yesterday. Was just mucking around and it got out of hand'.
b. Continue the lie ...
I'd choose option a but i reckon you might go option b.

Lol. Wrong
Way too much time on your hands.
You must be one really sad loser or ugly fat woman considering your passion for technology and with all this time.

[NO PRIVATE SPACE] IS THERE ANY WAY TO GET PRIVATE SPACE IN 7x ??

Hey, I want to know that is there a way to get Private Space in Honor 7x...??
It wasn't in nougat and I thought it might come in OREO, It was mentioned in my update's changelog too but it is not in firmware...
Is there a way we get it somehow ??

nope.... Emui has a feature called private space... It lets you make two different accounts in your mobile with different data.... You can assign different fingers to access them..
For Example: if you open phone with finger 1 the main space will open with all your data... if you open phone with finger 2 then private space will open with completely different storage and settings of its own...

This feature is only for specific models of the Honor 7x. I had it on a LA (latin america) build but not on my US (usa/united states of america) build.

I can't port it because I don't have it either, and I don't understand why you even need this feature, perhaps if you do some digging around you can install an apk.

That sounds like an awesome app if you asked me! You use a different finger for getting different modes? What's not to like about that?(?)
I asked about something like this a long time ago and got nothing. I guess the Android OS is just setup for using one finger.......right?

Bro this has been a huawei/honor feature for a long time now.... It's just they don't provide it on budget devices... You can find it on Mate 10 Lite and all higher budget devices of Huawei/Honor.... Named PRIVATE SPACE

I stumbled upon something like this on my mate se the other day. I have my work profile on this device but it's not a managed device. This is easy, get the app "island", install and setup the island in the app...no need to setup the account or anything. Then go to settings > security & privacy > screen lock and passwords. Disable "Use the same lock method" under "Work profile" to setup your separate fingerprint.
