Can anyone tell me if there is a way to default Pocket Outlook to display First Name, Last Name.
I have set all my contact on the PC to First, Last, but if I create a new contact on the XDA or I edit the name of any contact on the XDA it reverts to Last, First.
I have tried this on a Dell Axim X5 (PPC2003) and this seems to be the same.
Thanks
Matt
Yep got that same prob!! But I got around it by saving the contact to SIM then copy to phone and from there add any additional details.
Hope this helps.

If anyone has an easy answer to this one, I'd be very pleased.
I've been fighting with this one for months.

This will work but as soon as you edit any part of the name in the address book it reverts to Last, First again and you have to repeat the process again!
When you sysn to Outlook 2002/XP go to contact select the contact name you want to edit their is an option called "File as" which is drop down menu. it will display the First AND Last Name . Save AND Close repeat step for other contacts.
Hope this helps :wink:
This doesn't help when you add a new contact on the XDA, it files it LAST, FIRST, until you get a chance to sync the XDA and change it back in Outlook.

Oh boy, my favorite Pocket Outlook annoyance, one of many, since I use the GroupWise 6.5 client with IntelliSync to synchronize. What can I say: masochism, a way of life?
Anyway, I solved it by cutting the last name and appending that to the first name for all (250-300 ) my contacts. Only takes one night and is a real good practise for getting used to the touchscreen.
I have searched on a lot of forums, and only 1 tip can be read time after time: get a different PIM, even if you don't have the issue we're discussing right now.
Really, why Microsoft didn't put an option to change the View in there will probably never cease to amaze me :shock:

I understand your point but it all depends how often you sysnc your XDA and use Outlook 2000/XP as you PIM . Well it's one soultion..... :?

The best solution for me is to change all contacts to First Name only containing all full name, but as I am a lazy software engineer I wrote some software to do it. I also wrote it to change any (UK) mobile number it finds to +44 at the start so the caller ID appears when then send sms.
I don't have an ftp site so if anyone wants to e-mail me I can send them a copy - runs on the PC with Office 2000 or greater installed and you can preview what changes it will do before altering anything.
Usual disclaimer applies - Don't blame me and make a back up of your contacts in Outlook before you start.

Hi,
does anyone know how to do this using the standard pocket outlook?
When I try, I seem to have to leave it on one particular account and it checks that one only....
I'm sure pocketpc used to at somepoint did it not?
anyone got any ideas ? or third party programs that are as if not more powerfull AND are just as intergrated...
thanks for anyones help
cheers,
Sorry there is no way to do that with the standard pocket inbox!
HTH
I have to say.... thats quite pathetic
know any 3rd party progz you'd recomend?
thanks again *sighz*
http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3300
might help.
I read that thanks... too much bloat for my liking though lol... (see I do search the forum lol )
covers up the battery notification on the 'start menu' (kills small menu plus with the GPRS meter thingy)
adds its own battery monitor to the today section (I already use omega one for that :lol: )
and a few other things that I forgot about (uninstalled the GPRS monitor already)
I'm not saying its a bad proggie by any means.... but I do prefer the ones I'm using the now (battery meter etc) and since IE is so crap for surfing the web ( NO OPERA !!!!!! ) I only use GPRS for collecting mail so cost isnt an issue
mail is very important to me though.... and that my friend is where this one comes in
http://www.handdata.com/hdmailpage.htm
does everything it says on the tin :lol:
I'm trying it out for the 15 day trial... anyone that wants this feature should too...
2 niggles...
1. bit expensive for all it does (but then again $20 aint tooooooooooo much)
2. the damn light comes on everytime it turns the device on to check mail... yes I know thats coz I've set it to come out of 'flight mode' to do so but I'm sure outlook manages to check mail without waking the device up fully no?
anyways cheers
was gonna post that link when I had the chance since no one had managed to come up with anything....
scratch that... has anyone managed to get it to work on a 2k3 device?
I cant seem to get it to work.... I thought it was comming on and checking my mail but by the looks of it, it was just the t-mobile 'ghost' bug....
I tried mailing the author but aint recieved a response yet...
anyone had better luck?

I had Inbox working OK on 4.01.00/TMobile (altho I was only using one email account), but tonight I switched to a Kitchen 4.00.16 and can't get it to connect reliably. So maybe it's related to an immature revision of WM2003...
thanks, yeah eventually I did get it working with 1 account although did you think the timer was accurate ?
I cant get it to check multiple accounts tho
cheers
4.01.00 is also the rom I use
Hello:
Thank you for this site. I am new to all this. I am not yet ready to use a special edition rom, but I was interested in one of the programs, phoneExt. In fact, I'm mainly interested in distinct ringtones. I installed it on my pocketpc 2002 and it worked except for the distinct ringtones. Then I upgraded to PPC 2003. I installed phoneExt and same thing.
Can anyone help out or point me to another product that allows distinct ringtones per caller?
Thanks in advance.
RingtoneX from MTUX is a good software
if you go from 2003 to the special edition rom then you are downgrading
heck my xda1 came with a newer rom that special edition did
Thank you for the replies. I've heard about RingtoneX, but I liked the fact that phoneEXT is freeware. I decided to give it one more try on 2003 (since it was recommended not to downgrade). So I installed it, put a shortcut in the startup, did a soft-reset, assigned a ringtone to my contact (from the windows/rings directory), and it still didn't work. Any ideas? Or do I really have to remove this and use RingtoneX?
Thanks again.
I have the same problem on my i-mate (ppc 2003). Other folks have it work perfectly. There is an other thread about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8788&highlight=
Hope u find it useful
i m using phonExt for long now formerely on my XDA1 and now on my XDA2 both with ppc 2003 and i have no problem playin specific ringtones for every user in my contacts.
just have to put the rings in /windows/rings must be a .wav file
and i define them from the contact list by a long click and the function assign ring tone.
i ve heard many people complaining about phoneext on XDA2 (with ppc 2003).
And i do not understand really, i did nothing specific, just installed the soft and made a shortcut of the exec in the startmenu.
i used in in the extendded personalised rom made with the rom kitchen when i had my XDA1.
well do i have a magic XDA2 or a magic ppc2003 .... i doubt.
I too doubt that you have a magic XDA, but I did all of that. Perhaps my version of the software is older or has bugs. Can you tell me where you got yours or give me a copy (afterall it is freeware)?
Can it be related to the way that phone numbers are in the contacts? For example mine are generally of the format # (###) ###-####, but when I get a call, it does show the contact's name...
Windows Mobile 6.5 to get TellMe Voice Command integration
anyone have this yet?
+1.. interested
Hi,
I'm interessted too
why MS Voice Commander doesn't work for WM6.5 ?
MS VC works fine for me in 6.5 but after reading the tellme website it looks much more integrated and I'll be interested in checking it out whenver its released..
Located in Mountain View, Calif., Tellme is a Microsoft Corp. subsidiary.

No he meant this http://www.tellme.com/you
You can register your email there to get it when it is available..
is tell me for real? but its only for 6.5, now 6.1 right?
i just spoke to tellme and left a voicemail to the marketing manager since their company policy was to not transfer any calls without having a full name, if all goes well i hope i can make an appointment at their main headquarters which is only 15 minutes from me since im in the bay area. ill keep you guys updated from whatever i hear, i just hope they have a beta for 6.1 haha.

Funny how a MS product is available on Blackberry OS before their own Mobile OS.
Good stuff.
The Voice command stuff never really worked very well. My Fuze is already frustrating enough to operate without it trying to decipher my voice. I'd almost rather have a Google Maps one anyway. Windows Live Search allowed spoken commands but I don't think it was as interconnected as this TellMe app.

Ya I thought that too but to be fair, MS acquired the company while they were already pretty far in development for just the BB app.
Windows Live Search (now called Bing) just allowed you to search for places around you. This allows you to search for anything, scores, stocks, etc. I'm most interested in the SMS dictation though. A lot of my friends and I communicate via txt so you can imagine, having a touch screen phone, being able to dictate a response when I'm driving would be very handy.
sorry for the strong bump...
but anybody have any luck finding a version of microsoft tellme?
the youtube videos are sooooo enticing.
MS Voice Command missing
I flashed a 2PC 6.5 ROM for Kaiser and cannot find voice command. I use it to make calls while driving. I found a cab for a Rhodium ROM and installed it. Does not work, gives message "may not work correctly; made for an earlier version of windows". Is VC buried in the 6.5 windows files somewhere?
It's not unless the cook put it in, duttythroy has it ask him for it
Hi All,
im really tempted to jump and replace my ELF with a HERO. ( i know newbie style question coming up and i apologise but i HAVE looked before i asked lol )
ok, i use text editing lots on my ELF, i make notes in word etc and is there something i can use that it compatible with the HERO that i can make text notes on and save and refer to at a later point ??
( yes i know quick office reads mobile office but i need an editor more really. something i can create. it doesnt have to read mobile office , just make notes )
any ideas ???
cheers
AndyG
There are plenty of "notepad" type apps on the Market for free, but the paid app DocumentsToGo offers a full "office" type experience (i.e. read and writes Word and Excel files).
Regards,
Dave
I made the switch from a Elfin to the Hero and I can't ever go back. The hero is an amazing device.
Well i jumped... its an amazing device from my first impressions...( but im sure as i get questions i will be buggging ppl lol )
I made the same jump...
Yes, from Elfin (onyx 4.x) to hero..
I'm very satisfyed, even if I did not put my sim into hero, yet
Does anybody knows if I can copy all my stuff (messages, contacts and appointments) from WM 6.1 to hero? Something like pimbackup, or other methods...
It would be great!
I thank you all
