[Q] Cannot edit Notes in Contacts - Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Why am I unable to edit notes in contacts? I go to a contact hit the edit button and I can add a field like a new phone number. I can edit an existing field like name.. I can get a cursor placed in the notes and the keyboard comes up but it will not accept any keystrokes. this is driving me crazy. Anyone else? Ideas?

Default softkeys on WM6.1's messaging client

The new messaging client is driving me batty. Two major issues:
(1) Delete is the default left softkey when a message arrives?!? Lost more than a few messages this way. Is there a reg entry to change this?
(2) Dismiss, which should be the default and easiest option, takes using the Menu right softkey, navigating up, and selecting it. And it doesn't mark the message read! That has to be a bug, but can it be fixed?
When i get a Text the left soft key is reply. the right soft key has always been that menu button and seems to be fine...
You're probably right, but in that case I believe Delete is still the default option when Menu is selected, and Dismiss still doesn't mark the message as read.
It driving me crazy too ! Palm messagin was so much better ...
Resurrecting this thread. Need to know if I can change the left soft-key in the messaging app to something other then "Delete"
Please let me know, thanks!
Got the same issue, google and saw this thread. Any update or solution? Driving me crazy too

How to add mulitple numbers to one contact?

As title really, how do I do it? If I go into edit contact, I have one space for their number and I cant see anyway of adding more?
MAGIC user but give this a try -
go to contact. LOng press on contact - choose edit contact.
in Phone numbers section at the end of the number you already have, should be a green plus and red minus. Pressing the green plus allows you to add another number I think. Pressing the minus deletes a full number.

I believe you edit a contact. then when in the edit screen, there is a button labeled 'Add' 'add more information' (at the bottom)
This allows you to add more phone numbers
You better have all the contacs in the phone memory and not on your sim card then you can edit them and add more info

[Q] Calling someone on your contact list

Hey Folks,
I've got a question about calling someone on your contact list. I've only found two ways to make a call:
1) Go to your phone book and press down on the contact for a second. This brings up a menu where you can select the option to modify the number before making a call. From there, just hit the call button.
2) Go to your phone book and tap on the contact and that takes you to an Info page. From there, you can tap the number and it will call. Not to complain about it, but this requires a bit of finesse. There's a TON of space on the screen to have a call button.
Is there something I'm missing? Neither of these options is any good.
1. Press the contact pic n you get a mini menu option to call, txt, it email
2. Download a dialer app-personally, I'm using dialer one. On contact list it has a green button by the name to call instantly. Also has smart dial function; so u can spell contact name using number pad and find contact
3. Create shortcut on home screen for ur fav contacts
1. Long press on homescreen
2. Choose shortcuts
3. Direct Dial
4. Choose the contact you want
5. If you want to call them, just tap on that shortcut from your homescreen directly
I put a bunch of my direct dial contacts in a folder so i can call them with 2 taps essentially

SMS quick text

is there a way to edit the quick text list? need to change one to "Driving, call me if you can." legal to text and drive in my state. and if it requires a reg editor can you suggest a good free one.
For quick text, speak to your phone would be much easier then.
Touch the search button / touch the microphone symbol / speak:
"Send text to (phone number or name in contact list), pause, subject, pause, Driving, call me if you can.. Voice command will took a moment to process and asking you to confirm by displaying the SMS field, say yes (or) send
Just like that

Try this:
messages>pick a message>menu button>quick text>menu button>edit
That should do.
Hope it helps.

[Q] Remove "Home" on Direct Dial in ICS?

Kinda silly, but in ICS, when I make a shortcut with Direct Dial, it shows the label "Home" over the bottom-half of my contact's picture... 99% of my contacts only have one number anyway, so the "Home" title is useless & only blocks half their picture. Is there a way to remove this?
I have the bcm rom installed and I don´t know what you are running on your device.
I´ve found a little workaround:
When you long press on the shortcut you can customize it and change the Picture and the text is gone. But you have to do this for every shortcut.
Check the attached picture.
