[Q] Contact list display order on GS3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to display the contact list in order of surname, first name ?
Thanks

Of course. Just go to contact app and press menu button when go to settings. There you will find a option to choose which contact display first.

Lost Viber Integration
Hi! Apart from what you are asking I lately lost another way to place Viber calls, and that is through the contacts application. In the past all of my friends who have Viber would have a Viber icon in their Contacts entry, so I could dial them over Contacts directly. This icon is now gone and I cannot add the Viber account to the "Accounts and Sync" settings. I can see it when I select "Add Account" but when I select Viber the onlx thing that happens is the application starting, the account is not added. I am on Westcrips Resurrection Pro V 1.1. Any ideas how I can get that funtionality back?
Hey buddy,
the easiest way if u don't select the standard for dialing.
So when u swipe on a contact from left->right, u can choose how u wanna dial.
For example:
^Dialer
^Skype [If u have installed]
^Viper
If u don't get this possibility to choose, check the settings for standard of dialer in "settings > applications > all"
Hope this helps...
CHEERS

after ICS update cannot edit contacts

Anyone else having this problem?? I cannot edit any contact..
The way to edit is to tap the picture of the contact, when the contact screen comes up again tap the picture area an then push the lower android icon on the bottom of the phone. The one next to the home buttom and edit options will appear as a option.

Questions/problems/help on S3 please

I have a few questions that I need hello with being a new S3 user please. I'm coming from a Sensation XE that was on v4.0.4
1) If I don't have any security set, eg pattern lock, then if I get a message or missed call I get an icon on screen, I can drag this to open message. If the lock screen is set I don't get that. On my XE if I had pattern lock on, I still had option of dragging icon, then entering pattern, then it opened the messages, now please?
2) In email app I have 3 email accounts. However when I open it always goes to a version mail inbox, I want it to goto the combined inbox. How?
3) Anyway to make the font smaller in email? I've reduced the font in settings but email app still shows too big for me.
4) I know there are other keyboards but can you add extra symbols on the letter keys in the inbuilt swype one?
5) How can you get double tap to zoom in and reflow the text on the inbuilt internet app.
I will add more as I use it, thanks for any help. Loving the phone though
Anyone?
1) it would appear in your notif bar.. if u set a pattern unlock, obviously u wont be able to read your message or wats the point of leaving a security pattern then..
2)and 3) dont think you can do it..maybe use another email client from the playstore
4)..never used skype..so dont know..
5)you cant do text reflow in the stock browser..guess samsung wanted it to remain smooth than to give it text reflow..use dolphin browser or opera for this..
2.
Just tap on the box that gives the account name at top of screen. See screenshot.
5.
I don't think reflow works at all on the stock Rom

Yeah I still tap on the box for email and chose combined inbox but I want it to start at this one by default.
The seeing for having a pattern lock and notifications on your lock screen is in settings> security outta not selected but default
For me it stays on the combined inbox by default.

Wonder why mine doesn't then. Everytime I open it goes to the 2nd email account which its strange
Perhaps it something to do with sync? I don't use auto sync. Perhaps in your case it defaults to an account you have set to auto sync?

I've set them all to not check periodically. I open up email app and then hit the refresh button to check for emails...

I'm not sure if this is what you are looking for....
If you press and hold the screen, there is a shortcut arrow, click that and the next menu look for direct dial. That should take you to your contacts and as long as you have already have the persons picture in your contacts, touch the contact and the shortcut should be created.

Thanks, I wasn't sure which screen you meant. Turns out I have to go to my phone number Favorites. Long click on the person I want. At the bottom of the menu that pops up there is the arrow and, "add shortcut to home" message. If you have a pic with with the favorite number it goes with it. G

Plzzzzzzzz help
Open the contact you need to add photo to.
Press Menu (three vertical dots on top right)
Edit
Touch the buddy icon on right of the Name field.
Select/Take Photo
Crop
Save
Done.
If it crashes, then it means that you have some thing wrong with Contacts application.
Clear Application Data from settings and it should work fine.
