Is there a way I can lock certain programs such as my contact list, messages and emails. Or do I have to just lock the whole phone?
Any help is much appreciated.

I don't understand what do you mean by locking applications. However, you can remove them as a sense tab by going to settings on the HTC Sense and change it accordingly.
I think that he means is there a way to have those programs password protected ("locked"), meaning that in order to access those programs you need to enter a password.

Hello Friends,
In Windows Mobile (I use HTC TD2 - WinMO 6.5.3) has only one “screen lock” for entire phone.
But I have seen some Samsung mobile (may be Samsung Star – Touch model) that has one application where we can lock several stuffs. Like SMS, Contact, Call History and the Screen Lock too. So even after the screen is unlocked the user still need to enter SMS pin to open SMS; Contact PIN to open Contact etc.
In Sort: The device has multi level locks.
So I was looking for if we have some similar application already out for windows mobiles?
I have seen
Thanks,

Thanks Corwin9S for your reply.
Just wanted to reconfirm, if this has SMS Lock, Contacts Lock, Call History Lock etc along with the iPhone Style Screen Lock?
Edit:

No, S2U2 will just put a password when you unlock your phone, it won't lock other stuff.
Edit: I think I know what you mean, my pixon did it too, well, you could always change the start menu shortcut to a simple app that asks a password to run the actual app. I am pretty sure I saw something like this around here before.
I can't find these widgets on htc hub, get more widgets, or the market so here you guys are. The resolution is messed up a little bit but its hardly noticeable
Just install like you normally would. Drag onto sdcard and install, download from your phone and install, or adb install
I am really disappointed that these aren't available for the 3D. I use the tasks notepad almost daily... the HTC hub is kinda pointless IMO... very limited.
ya me too, the task widget is soo convenient and useful, i dont understand why they didnt include it.
they got replaced wit da agenda widget..lol..garbage...
Anyone else scared of the permissions you have to give these apps?
example:
*Your personal information - add or modify calendar events and send email to guests, read Browser's history and bookmarks, read calendar events, read contact data, write Browser's history and bookmarks, write contact data
*Services that cost you money - directly call phone numbers, send SMS messages
*Your messages - com.android.email.permission.READ_ATTACHMENT, edit SMS or MMS, read SMS or MMS, receive MMS, receive SMS
*Your Accounts - Google mail, manage the accounts list, use the authentication credentials of an account
*System tools - bluetooth administration, change network connectivity, change Wi-Fi state, change WiMAX state, modify global system settings, prevent phone from sleeping, retrieve running applications, set time zone, write Access Point Name settings, write sync settings

it does, but just doesn't align because of the resolution. Maybe someone can mess around with the .xml files to see if it can be aligned.
Can anyone make it so I can use them on any launcher... I want the notes app for nova launcher
Hi All,
Before you say it, I know what I'm doing and understand how Google contacts work, I had a HTC HD2 (thanks Pongster and XDA!) and I am used to Android.
I know how Google contacts work, infact I submitted a bug fix to AweSync to fix up their syncing of Google Contacts with Lotus Notes.
Why does the Samsung Galaxy 1 (and 2!) show me _ALL CONTACTS_ when trying to SMS people? or when I try to save a newly dialled number into contacts, it shows all contacts?
I don't want to SMS an email address! I don't want to sift through 1,300 contacts yet this idiot phone is showing me them.

It's listing email Address's in the SMS TO: field - yet I've CLEARLY unticked "All contacts" and I've made it only show contacts with a phone number.
What is wrong with this thing?
EDIT: also, forgetting my ring tone every time I reboot isn't impressing me either.
Okay, I can't answer all your problems, and I do agree that the management of contacts on this phone is pretty poor, but there's obviously ways round certain issues.
One thing that will immediately help you is to use the contacts app to send SMS, rather than the SMS app. Select your contact (filtered as shown in your post) and you can swipe them left to SMS or right to call. That's a pretty handy feature.
However, if you're sending a message to more than 1 person you're back to square 1. I'd strongly recommend getting GO SMS Pro and GO Contacts (both free) from the Market. They're excellent replacements and I'm sure you'll be a LOT happier with them.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

It does what you describe above. I don't know what you expect it to do though. You dial a number, click "Add to contacts" or "New contact" to either list all your contacts or create a new one.
is there any solution to this, i quite like the messaging app, but find it quite annoying when i have to search through hundreds of contacts, or else exit out to the contact application to text some1 who's actually in my contacts list ....
Its not a deal breaker for me, i prefer the stock than go sms or handcent, or any alternative i've tried, so if there is no fix i'll grin and bear it but if there is please help out
.... its not that i prefer the stock to any other, its just that no other provides anything that makes me want to move from stock, and since both will be running anyways it seems pointless to be wasting battery .... also i found double contacts problems with other apps aswell

It's just poor design by Samsung.

Why? I think it is a good idea, since I very often MMS to email addresses! It is very handy to automatically downsize an image to MMS size when you are sending it to a person who you know will be looking at the email on their phone (e.g. my friend in Japan doesn't have MMS at all, over there nearly everything is email).
Been wondering about this too, i know the contact app you can customize what to show, which is fine, but the sms app show everyone you have been in contact with on google. Only "fix" i've found so far is to use another SMS app that can filter the contact list.
The solution is very simple. Just open display options in contacts and select only display contacts with numbers. Also untick everything that you don't want it to display. I don't save any numbers in phone or sim card so I save it to gmail account.
Even if I select only gmail it shows lots unnecessary contacts. So I went to gmail on my laptop and opened the contacts (phone book or something like that. Its been over a year so I don't remember)
I created a new category (u can choose an existing one) and transferred every single contact that I needed under it.
And thats it. Everytime I format my phone I just go to contact display settings on my phone and only choose the category that I made. And it only shows the contacts that I need.
It works also if u want to save a contact. I chose to save contacts to my gmail account when it asks. And everytime u save it saves it to the category that u choose.
I have been using this over a year and work flawlessly. I remember beig sick of choosing amongst 1000s of contacts.
I tried to explain as I could. If there is a problem ask me I will try to help.
Edit:
I realized this doesn't answer ur question about sms. This doesn't fix that SMS list behaviour.
This may be more of an Android question, but on my V10 on the official MM update, I got a message asking whether to allow contact suggestions when composing an email in the Gmail app, but i had a screen filter or such, so i got sidetracked and wasn't able to allow contact suggestions. Now when i go to make an email, i have to type the entire email address(i know i can select it from my contacts list, but i want the contact suggestions back). I can't find where to re-enable that!
Side note: all the extra permission granting in Marshmallow seems like kind of a pain to me!
They are a pain..
Go to Settings>General>Apps
Find Gmail and clear the permissions
or turn on the the Contacts permission.

Hello,
Hope someone can help with a fix.
I googled this so many times but still didn't find a solution.
When I use the T9 to search for a contact in the dialer, the contact shows up but the number under the contact is duplicated .
However when I open the same contact in the contacts all there is only 1 number and no sign of any duplicates.
I have checked and I have no duplicate contacts at all in my contacts.
I have also used the filter to only show contacts from my Gmail account.
But still same issue persists.
Second, can anyone confirm whether I can get the notifications on my lockscreen to be kept hidden until I use face unlock and then their content becomes visible without exiting the lockscreen?
Lastly, does anyone have any idea if it's possible with any app or mod to have horizon lights keep on blinking rather than just blink once when notification is received?
Appreciate any input, thanks

1st. Same here with me.
I tested & founded that the duplicate number is WhatsApp contact & not going away even if we choose only to show contact from Gmail account.
2nd. I don't think it's possible right now
3rd. Users submitted feedbacks on OnePlus forums & they said they are working on it.
Thanks for the feedback.
Yeah I read somewhere it's got to do with WhatsApp.
They suggested to remove all spaces from phone numbers in contacts, I tried with one and it worked !
But I have way too many contacts to do it manually for each one.
Looking for an app or some fast way to do it in bulk.

Export it from Gmail and then you can work on the .xml file in a file editor. Find & Replace [space] with nada
Then import it back on.
