Is it possible to display tasks and events on the today screen without installing any additional software.
I want to have birthdays, appointments displayed with few days in advance.
Thanks.
hhhmmm
when i make a apointment in my callander and add remind me bla bla bla
then it show on the today screen as std
yes but i want to take the dates from the Contacts list and disply them with a couple of days in advance
asuming you mean you want the dates from the callander and not the contact list (because my contact list sure dont have dates)
then if you put remind me 2 days or something like that in your appointment then it will display on the today screen under the appointments cat

Hi all,
Im sx56 wallaby user and I have this problem with my Contact program. Sometimes when I hit the Contact icon then nothing happen, only 'close' icon appear on the bar, but sometimes it just run smoothly.
Is this problem connected with the 'permanent save' setting on my Contact? When this problem starting again I just reset my device and it temporary gone. One time when I reset, then my device start to sync the contact and I found that my almost all my contacts were duplicated in the list. Please someone help me with this.. Thx.

I use O2 xda mini. I think Permanent Save has a design fault. I have over 2000 contacts. There are many contacts with the same last and first name. For example, David Chan. When I do a restore after a hard reset, if I have more than 1 David Chan, it will prompt me for duplicated contact, and ask me to "overwrite" or "skip". Both options end me up restoring only 1 David Chan, and I lost the remaining 3 or 4 David Chan. Permanent Save is totally "unsafe".
Hi I have WM2003SE upgraded from 2002 on my SX56. In the Pocket Outlook application all my e-mails synced from the computer are truncated really really early like all I would be able to read was the greeting (Dear Jimmy) then it would say Message truncated tap edit mark for download to get remaining portion. I think it might be because the ROM Image took up so much memory I'm running out or maybe theres a setting to control the limit of size of the messages. But I have put in an SD card with more than enough space for the messages. Any help would be appreciated.
Anyone?
I'm still having the problem. I mean what if every single one of ur messages just came with the first half and u had to press a button each time then sync it just to get the other half? Wouldn't that annoy you?
Okay everyone
Well I figured out the problem myself. I went into the activesync settings for e-mail (outlook) and there was all the setting right there limit email size and include attachements!
Hi All,
Just bought hero last week and transferred my contacts from E71 to Hero using Outlook and HTC Sync.
The problem is, People program mixes up the list of my contacts. Here is what I see when I launch it:
My Name
A random set of contacts starting with A to Z
A..
B..
C..
..
..(and so on)
Z..
- a divider line -
Remaining contacts with A
A..
..
- a divider line -
Remaining contacts with B
B..
..
..(and so on)
- a divider line -
Remaining contacts with Z
..
- a divider line -
Why does Hero shows some contacts without dividing them into alphabet? I have checked that all my contacts are "Phone" contacts and they show up alphabetical in Outlook (and was in E71)
are the random ones at the top just ones with Company names??
I know that happens on mine if i sync across contacts that have nothing in the 'Name' field in outlook, and just a company name instead.
No they are totally similar contacts. All of my contacts has name field and I do not use non-Latin characters. This is actually pretty weird. I'll try to add some screenshots when I get back home..
Thanks for the response

That happened to me as well. I realized that for those contacts, I only had information in "Surname" field (even the first name was written there) thus it would add a space before this info and the space makes those contacts float there. This also applies when you have first name but no surname. HTC Sync sucks. To fix it, you can open these contacts in Outlook, change the name, change it back to original but in first-last name fields, save again, and then click the dropdown "File as" and select something else and select it back to "First, Last name" and then sync again... Something like this

Thanks much man!
This really helped. Since the number of irregular names are limited, I've edited them on the phone.

With Regard to Weird contacts sorting problem with HTC
I had the same problem as leventbb, etc on a brand new HTC Thunderbolt...and the old posts were 2 years ago so apparently HTC hasn't fixed it. For those who run in to this as well, here is wat I found. As much as it seems the contacts are out of order, in my cast it was because there was nothing in the last name field so HTC for some reason, but not in all cases put a space in front of it. So...if I chose to go to the very beginning of my contacts, the order was: those with nothing in any of the name fields, those which I just explaned that show now as having a space in front (only on the card, if you open it up it looks fine); those which start with numbers and then regular A-Z. When I tried copying the first name, delelting it and pasting it back and saving, it went into the correct A-Z place, but then all of a sudden was back in the "wrong" place in front of those contacts starting with numbers (because of the space that is back...). I am assuming it's because the Thunderbolt just synched.
To fix it, I found that by placing my cursor in the Last Name field and using my backspace key, that even though it acts like nothing is there, when I save it, it goes back to it's "right" place in A-Z and stays there.
Hope this helps someone else. It was a real problem when I thought contacts were missing when looking alphabetically, but could find them when I searched...
Hi,
One thing I really dislike on Android, is the very little flexibility on contacts organization. I can't seem to figure out a good way to organize all my contacts.
I have 2 problems with the current contacts organization:
Problem 1)
I like to have a contacts database with ALL my contacts and on that database I like to have the persons first and last name. However, for some of the contacts, I don't want to have their name displayed, I want to have something else instead; like a nickname for instance. I can't do what I want because of two simple things:
a) Google Contacts does have support for a "nickname" field, but Android doesn't. At least not on my Hero... I'm not sure but I believe the 2.1 ROMs already support this field if I recall correctly from the last time I tried one.
b) The People app on the HTC Hero (and probably the stock Android one but I don't know for sure) does not allow me to pick what I want to display as the contact's "name", if their real name or the nickname.
If these 2 things were possible, my problem would be solved. I could have my contacts database with their first and last names, but also with a nickname for some people where I could pick which one to display on my phone.
Problem 2)
My full contacts database on Google Contacts, includes every single person I ever contacted in my whole life since I had a mobile phone. Well, not exactly every single person cause I lost a few numbers over the years. But I have a big collection of names and phone numbers of people that I no longer can associate a face with or don't get in touch that often anymore.
However, I don't want to delete those numbers, so I know who's calling/texting/whatever (if that ever happens or if I need to contact them). But I also don't want all of them displayed on the main contacts list (People app on my case). Only a few contacts are the most important contacts to me, my family, closest friends, people that I get in touch from time to time, etc... Those are the ones that I wanted listed on the phone so I can quickly find one on the list if I need it.
Basically, I just want to hide a few groups of people from the main list. I still want/need them on the phone in case they call or I need to reach them (like I said above), but 95% of the time, they are cluttering the contacts list.
Now, it doesn't help much but, for those "less needed" contacts I placed them on a few different groups than the other "most contacted" contacts.
So, does anyone have any suggestions to help me fix, or at least workaround these organization problems? Does any one face the same or similar situations?
No suggestions, anyone?
Too complicated request?
aContact or Dialer One
This two app for contact maybe help you.
Not in evere question, but for me are very usefull.
You can switch betwen "saved" contact and all collected contact (google cont.).
aContact is for Android 1.5
Dialer One for Android 2.1 (1.6...?)
Hello,
On my photon the phone's contact list is not listing a scroll selection of a - z like it userd too? Similar to the ipod touch/phone you could see while scrolling down your contact list a, b, c, d, etc. on the right hand side and you could tap the letter you needed to get to the contact quickly. For example i want to call John and instead of scrolling all the way down to my "J"s i would just tap the letter "J" on the right hand side and it would list all of the contacts in "J".
Anyone else have this feature randomly missing or know what might have caused it. I just noticed it this week.
I am rooted with no custom roms or bootloaders, the issue happened weeks after my root?
Its in the contact display options, I think its the only show contacts with phones setting. Needs to be unchecked. You must have messed with some contact settings. Happened to me too.

Thanks man that did it, too bad it duplicates contacts from facebook so one has a number and the other is just there account info that you cant add anything too.
That is probably the reason i messed with the settings in the first place.
Thanks again!
