Hi,
Just wondered if there was a way to see the whole of a Postal address in the contacts list? When I click on someone and they have a long postal address I can't see all of it, I have to go into the edit list to be able to see it.
This is most annoying, is there a way to change this?
I also find this frustrating - can't get to see full address unless going into edit mode or clicking on 'find home' which brings up google maps.
Haven't been able to find a solution unfortunately.

I added a new contact today (time warner) and I noticed that I had options to save the number as company main, car, radio, assistant as well as the usual home, work, etc..
When I go to edit an existing contact these new (to me anyhow) options are not there.
Is there a way to get them there?
I think it may be handy to be able to save company numbers in their own category and I already have quite a few saved as contacts
Looks like it depends on the type of contact that you save it as. Exchange provides all the options. Google has most and the phone even less. Least options is the SIM.
Where are you saving them to?
I just looked and the time warner contact says phone and some others say google. So I guess that explains it.
Thanks
So heres the deal...I want to use my phone for my company email using Microsoft Exchange. The kicker is my company does not want me to so is there a way to set it up with all the security stuff and domains and such basically a hack if so can someone point me in that direction or walk me through it? This might have been answered before however i have been looking for a while and have not found the answer.
In order to connect your phone to your company's Exchange server you would need the domain name and the name of the Exchange ActiveSync server (something like eas.yourcompany.com). This can only really be obtained from your administrators, without doing some questionable snooping. Try cozying up to one and asking what the name of the EAS server is.
Try this;
Go into you exchange on your desktop, go to "Tools/Account Settings"
Highlight your email and then select "Change"
on the bottom right there is a box called More Settings, select that.
once that comes up select the tab "Connection". On the lower part of the screen you will see a box called "Exchange Proxy Settings". Select it.
That will show you your company URL & proxy server.
Hope that helps.
Not sure if this is the right place to post this, but Navigation from the Calendar used to work for me on 2.2, but not on 2.3.3. I have a Sprint Evo 4G, but I think it's the Calendar or Google Maps/Navigation that has changed. Repeating events used to work before, so it's not the way I've entered the addresses.
I used to be able to put the address in the notes section of a calendar appointment, open the appointment, click on the address, and Google Maps would pop up with the option to Navigate to it.
Now, it thinks it's a phone number and pops up an option screen to: Call, Send message, Add contact, or Save to existing contact. I can click on the Location field, which I usually put just the name of the place, and Google Maps will search for it that way, but often it returns several options, of which none are the one I want.
If it helps, when I click on the address, the phone number field shows, "geo:0,0?201+Main+Street... etc." How or why it thinks that is a phone number is beyond me, but is probably the clue to the solution.
While testing this, I found at least one address that did work as expected. That address also had a street number and street, but didn't have a zip code or a comma between the city and state. However, when I modified an address in another appointment to match, the phone still thought it was a phone number.
No ideas? Is there a better place to ask?
Last bump before I look for another place to ask.

On my new E4GT, this works like it did originally on my Evo.

I've been searching all over and can't seem to find a suitable app for this.
A family member has jumped from an endless parade of dumbphones to an Android based smartphone. Got all setup with a Google account and then I sat for about an hour or so manually entering names and numbers into Google Contacts, so they'll sync all nice and easily to the phone.
Now, no matter how I try to explain it, she doesn't quite get that if you open the contacts list on the phone and select a name, it presents you with all configured numbers, home, cell, work, etc, which you then just tap one to call.
No, she'd rather do extra work and create a separate contact, one for each possible number. "So that it looks like it used to...."
"Mr Contact One (home)"
555-555-5555
"Mr Contact One (cell)"
555-111-5555
"Mr Contact One (work"
555-222-5555
So, does anyone know of a contacts app that displays all numbers in an auto-expanded list? Sort of like...
"Mr Contact One"
\_555-555-5555 (home)
555-111-5555 (cell)
555-222-5555 (work)
Hi there,
my question might seem to be a little odd, so I will explain the reason first...
in my university lab 6 of our android devices (and an iphone 5) got stolen. the thief might have sold the devices, I'm not really sure. anyhow - one of the devices still had our lab-gmail-account logged in so i could install androidlost and get at leas some control over one of our stolen nexus 7.
I was able to get gps coordinates, the WiFi name + IP address as well as some pictures of the person that has the device right not. unfortunately the police told me that gps wouldn't help, as there are possibly 150 persons in the street where the device is, that have the potential to be criminal...getting the owner of the connection via IP is also not likely, because a judge needs to approve the locating via ISP and before that happens, the telecommunications company will have deleted the data -.- I've seen they added a new gmail account after I changed our password. but it's just something like "[email protected]", so nothing that tells me the name.
with androidlost I can also start a web-server and browse the sdcard of the device. unfortunately the device is not rootet, so I can't browse to /data/data to gather more information.
so (finally ) here is my question:
is there any app that saves it's data to the sdcard which uses the facebook ID?
I mean in any logfile or something...maybe an app that automatically starts at boot, so i can be sure the app leaves it's trace on the sdcard.
I can still install apps via play store and if i could retreive the facebook ID in any way, there would still be a chance to catch the thief...
I'm also open for other creative ideas to retreive the identity...
EDIT: before anyone gets me wrong - I don't want the password or login to the account - all I need is the facebook ID (or name...) so I might find out the real name and give it to the police...
