Ok guys, I have looked far and low for this answer and tried numerous apps to see if that was the answer but they all give me the same result...
In any email client I use with my Dell Streak, I have to manually add the email of the person I want to send it to in the "To" bar... I can't believe I have to do that.
Is there not an app or some setting that I am missing to where I can pull up the contacts' info and automatically insert into the "To" field instead of having to manually type that person's email.
I know I can go to the contact in my contact list and select to send that address an email or an SMS or whatever I want to do, but what if I want to compose an email and send it to several people, I have to manually enter each address...
Please tell me there is a work around or something that I am missing guys and not doing correctly...
Thanks for all your help in advance!
The stock DELL mail widget does all this. You start typing the contact in the compose mail screen and their email pops up, select it and it stays in the TO: bar followed by a comma and you can continue adding recipients.
Thanks for the reply eSZee.
Yes I know that the stock android email and/or gmail client is supposed to do this, I have an HTC Inspire 4G that does it just fine after a couple of letters are typed in, but my Streak doesn't do it at all, that's what has me stumped and there's no one close to me for me to compare with, that's why I finally broke down and posted.
I'm running Streakdown 1.9, 318 BB if it matters. Been like that since. I haven't used the stock froyo except to bring my Streak back from a bricked state, and I really don't wanna have to go through the trouble of using the QDL to get back to stock froyo and then have to go through the trouble of flashing the streakmod again, but it may be my only alternative....
But if there's not a setting for this it may just be what I have to do if no other solution arises

Hi,
I'm running a HTC HD2 with Windows Mobile 6.5 running ROM 3.14.110.1 WWE.
Recently, whenever I try to send an SMS and type the contact's surname into the "To:" box - the messaging application disappears off the screen. No draft SMS is saved, and when I return to the messaging application - no evidence of the SMS is present.
If I click the Contact Lookup icon in the top right hand corner, I can manually select contacts through this method - but obviously it's a lot slower than simply typing a surname and picking out a contact.
I've tried removing my MS Exchange ActiveSync connection, and then re-establishing it after a Soft Reboot - but the problem persists.
Has anyone experienced this, and can suggest a fix?
Regards,
Richard Tubb.
Im glad I'm not the only one this happens too, I just thought it must be my fat fingers pressing the wrong buttons....
Sorry I cant help but will be watching to see if there are any helpful hints on how to fix this error..
How many text messages have you got. . . . Coz when i was getting this and after a hard reset, I didn't restore my test message and the problem want away.
Don't now as never found a solution yet.
Hi, I have a weird issue with one of my contacts. An old number they no longer use just won't delete! I Tried to delete the contact altogehter, and add it again, even tried to change the name by adding something extra to it, but whenever I try to text the person, the previous number shows up, THEN the current number (and not just the name of the contact like it should. Something to keep in mind is that the old number does not show up in the actual contacgts directory, ONLY whenever I text them, and it doesn't show their name, which is really REALLY annoying!!! Can anyone help? I tried uninstalling/reinstalling using Titanium Backup, even the data wipe of the messaging app, didn't work! Still doing the same thing, seems like the app won't disassociate the past number from the current, and the weird thing is that I had deleted that number from the contacts long before, when I was still on 2.1 (stock). Now that I have updated to the stock 2.3.3, it brought that number back! Please help, this really sucks and I don't know what to do, don't want to do a repair install, so much work :-( Another issue I found is that the messaging won't sound the notification I set, it does blink the LED light, but won't vibrate or sound the notification I set up for it... What should I do??? Thanks in advance...
sorry just tried merging the posts to my first post, but can't delete this one.
Same as the upper post, sorry again...
I had a similar problem. You can edit your contacts at the actual gmail website from your internet browser. Also remember when adding contacts from phone, click save to gmail and sync contacts every now and then if auto-sync is disabled.
Really? Where do I edit my contacts??? When I check my contacts in Gmail, it only shows me the email contacts I have, no actual phone numbers

At the top right there should be a contacts option, look a bit lower and there should be more options pertaining to it.
I did check that, explored all the options within, and none of my phone contacts show up! Only my email contacts!!! Any other way to handle this??? The sound part seems to have resolved (sometimes it does ring my notification tone), but the messaging app still shows the number I deleted months ago, no idea why it won't disassociate the number. In my contacts list, that number doesn't show. But in messaging, when I try to send that person a meggae, instead of showing the NAME of the person I am sending it to (like it should), it shows the old number and then the new number!!! Any ideas???

It is somehow either associated with your google account or your at&t account, does you at&t plan have an online back up by chance?
I'm actually with Rogers, and have never used their online backup (nor have I checked to see if they provide any). But something rather weird happened, I deleted the messages, asked my friend to send me a text, and when they did, their name showed up like it is supposed to! I hope it is resolved now, thank you all for trying to help
Will update if the problem persists.
Hi,
Need help to clarify this operation.
Let's say, after dialing a new phone number, I want to add that to a new contact.
But I want to save that contact as Google contact or contact in MS Exchange account. I fiddle around the phone for 10 minutes, but could not figure how. appreciate if anyone can provide solution to this.
My phone is AT&T Galaxy S2, loaded with Unnamed 1.04 rom. But, it should be very close to stock samsung rom, in term of adding contact.

I have no idea about MS exchange since I don't use it, but I do know a way to save them to google.
Save the contact like normal, and then select the contacts tab. Hit menu (the left most key at the bottom) and select 'merge with google'. That will update the contacts in both directions.
Ok, finally figure this one out.
Open "Contact", then hit "menu soft key"->"More"->"Settings"->"Save new contact to"->"Always ask"
Glad you found it, that is probably the better way than the method I found.
I upgraded to the Rezound from a Thunderbolt and now I have to press a stupid "Show HTML images" button on all HTML formatted emails! I have a corporate Exchange account, and my Thunderbolt did not intrude on my email viewing with this irritating request for every blessed email, nor did my iPhone prior to the Thunderbolt.
What can be done to stop this bad behavior? Can Sense be modified either in the current 3.5, or can HTC fix this in the new 4.0 for ICS? Or, is there a root required mod to be made? It should have a global setting, just like MS Outlook offers, to either require acknowledgement for each HTML email, or not. To require it for each email even if the user does not want it is absurd.
They also broke the hardware back arrow functionality, so now when you are in any folder other than the Inbox and press the back arrow you are ejected from the program, instead of being returned to the Inbox, as it was in the Thunderbolt.
How can we ensure that these problems are fixed in the next version of Sense? Does HTC fix the problems which they create in new versions when they release the next edition, or do developers need to mod the program to fix HTC errors?
Go into your settings for the Exchange account. In the Send and Receive settings change the Include File Attachment to "Always".
See if that helps for new emails.

I tried most of the settings, and none seemed to stop the button from popping up on any HTML emails, even those which I have already viewed and clicked the button for!
I have not had this problem since I had the old Win Mobile HD2 from 2 years ago. I hate taking two steps forward and one back when upgrading to a new phone.
Seems like a software problem then. My phone doesn't behave that way. It automatically downloads images and HTML when opening.
Maybe something with the way the account is setup? Or the Mail app?

My Thunderbolt did not misbehave that way either, but my Rezound does, at least on MS Exchange email.
Are you using Exchange?
I am using an Exchange account. It's an Outlook Web Access setup.
I'm using NilsP's business rom, too.
I'm using enhanced email and no problems with any html emails.
Are either of you using the stock Sense email client to view your Exchange email?
Has anyone ever found the file which controls this behavior?
Does the need to continually press "show html images" in every HTML email continue in ICS? I must have pressed that stupid button a million times this year!
If this problem continues with ICS, has anyone ever discovered which file and location within the file controls this behavior?
I would love to not ever see that button appear at the top of my emails again!
Hello! I own an HTC One M8 running the OS version of 5.0.1. My device is not rooted or edited in any way, just to clarify.
Today I needed to send an email, so I went to send it. I was preparing the information such as who to send it to and the subject, when I went to type the email itself. Upon clicking the box to do so, I was given the crash message for Mail. It redirected me to be inbox, and I have searched this problem to no solution. I have been able to recently send emails, however now I cannot do so. It is only occurring when I go to press the field for the email text itself that I crash. I have tried only tapping the text box and no other fields, etc. Possible solutions & if possible causes?
Thank you!
