Hi all, just download handcent from market
but the main problem i face is can't add a contact to sms
which i click add contact to choose the person that i want to sms, because I dunno what is he number
so I scroll my contact list, I tick it, then I click menu > end end select
then it go back to the message there, but no number in the To there
that was weird, although I can just type the name and it will search, but if I forgot what the name that I put so how ???
*some contact can add into To there, some can't
what the problem ?
hope you all can answer my question, thanks ~

Since WM2003 it's great not having to use the sms name fix programs to make names from Outlook appear on incoming texts.
However, it's still the case that if you click on someone's name in Contact and select Send SMS, it just puts the number in the To box, rather than the name and / or number.
If you reply to someone who has already sent you a text through the context menu whilst reading the message, it DOES put the name of the other person in.
Is anyone aware of any programs etc that will make the xda work in this way? It can't be that the name would cause a problem as it works perfectly fine when you reply to existing sms's with it in.
I'd appreciate any comments on this.
Cheers

Instead of selecting the contact and creating the SMS message, create a new message and start typing the name of the contact. A pop up box appears with contact names in and when you select the contact their name is entered in the TO line.
Just goes to show you don't get anywhere if you don't ask huh?
I should have thought Pocket Outlook would work the same as normal Outlook, but just always did contacts > name > send SMS. Now it's just New > Message and type in the name.
Cheers for that!

PS - this forum is great
In CM7' can we select multiple contacts to send ONE SMS in just ONE ACTION..

You can. Go to "compose". Start typing contact name, select from the suggestion. A comma will appear after the contact name. To add another, start typing the name again. Much like gmail.
yep, there's no checkbox-like interface though.
Hi there,.,
I have a contact with two numbers, as following:
Code:
Contact name: EXAMPLE
Number 1: 111
Number 2: 222
I'd like to:
1) make the default call number: Number 1
2) make the default sms number: Number 2
I already made the default call number "Number 1", but where can I set up the default sms number setting? If it is even possible?
Btw, my Xperia X10 Mini is on MiniCM7-2.1.6.
are you using a specific app for texting?
most apps out there are set up as blocks of conversation anyways so you don't really need to put the number to whom you're texting to

I use the stock "messaging" app when I turn on the phone because I need to mark all messages as "read".
The rest of the time I use Handcent SMS,.,
Btw, do you maybe know how to set up Handcent SMS to automaticaly mark messages I read (in Handcent app, or pop-up notification, anyway) as "read" in the stock app also, because I don't want to manually mark all messages as read after every reboot
The thing i didn't mention is:
I created a shortcut of that contact on "desktop", so when I press on it, a pop-up balloon shows up with 3 options:
1) phone call
2) open contact
3) send sms
when I press on "CALL", it calls the default number,.,
I'd like to set it up so that when I press the "SMS" button it uses the other number,., I hope this clarified my question
(This is for non-cyanogen roms) This is about shortcut for dialer tab under phone application -
Its annoying sometimes the default behavior of 'Phone' icon. It will launch the call log always and what I have observed that the call log takes much time to open. SO in situations like you are taking a phone number, you will launch phone application then you have to wait for some time till call log opens and then go to dialer tab to type a number...(meanwhile friends will laugh at you for the speed). LauncherPro has the shortcut for direct dial but we may not always use LauncherPro. Well, for all users facing similar problem, here is solution -
Create a temp contact with some minimum number. ex. you can create a contact named 'dummy' and number as 0 or +91 which is applicable for every number you dial in india. Install DesktopVisualizer. then create its widget(1x1) and ask it to launch shortcut of type 'direct dial', select above created contact as target. Now, DesktopVisualizer has a limitation that from a wodget, it can not directly dial a contact instead it will launch dialer tab with that number typed in there. We can use this limitation to solve our purpose. Check check box that says launch dial pad blah blah. and done. this widget click will launch dialer tab for you. the number we gave is 0 or +91, so it dose not affect dialing any number ahead.

Hello, thank you very much about the info. I just came to know that DesktopVisualizer is the one preventing me from direct dialing out from the the directdial shortcut widget.
My question might not be relavent to this topic but could you please give advise on how to get rid of the desktop visualizer and allow me to use direct dial again.
I have tried using DialerOne app and it gives the same result, redirecting me to stock dialpad with number... i wish i can dial it out right away.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
I'have installed [ROM][4.1.2][AOKP/CM] GT-I9100/I9100P Vanilla RootBox [23/10][v3.0].
Is there i way to add multiple recipents when sending a message/SMS. ?
I can't find a way to open a list /group in my contact and then select desired contacts from that list and add them.
You can just type a name in the search box and select name from that search box.
Is this possible in aokp roms?

How about using a third party app like Go SMS ? I never use stock sms.
Yes, it's possible, enter number of person 1, then type ",", then number of person 2...
like this:
123456789, 234567890, 34567801

Is there a way to access to a group contact (as in Go Sms) in order to send sms to all contacts being the goup? Because it wastes time to type manually the name of each contact whom I want to send sms...
It depends on which ROM you want to do this. In CyanogenMod there's no problem. Once added is visible as group.
