How to I set the contact list to display First name, Last name - Touch Diamond2, Pure General
I want to change the layout of the contact list on the TD2 to display names in First Name, Last Name format. I can do this in the other WM device I had before but I couldn't find this function on the TD2. Anyone can help?

You do it on each individual contact. Edit the contact and find the "File As" as set it accordingly.
Nope - There IS an app at XDA that does exactly what you want.
search for it and you will see the magic

sync with outlook and there, when you edit, you can select how to display name. Once you dothat in outlook, it automatically does it when you disconnect from PC and add contact. At least that's how I do it ...
Hi all,
I tried three programs:
Fileasfl
Contact Changer 1.3
TrineFix v1.1
But neither of them changes the default behaviour of saving as last, first.
All of my contact are correctly setup (first last), I'm only interested in changing the default behaviour when adding new contact in wm6.1.
Thanks to all.

The easy est way to do that is via PC sync but you must know how to use macros.
1.ms outlook -> tolls / options / contact options -> set default "file as" order as you like...
2. Run this macro for applying that setting to all contacts in MS outlook.
Public Sub ChangeFileAs()
Dim objOL As Outlook.Application
Dim objNS As Outlook.NameSpace
Dim objContact As Outlook.ContactItem
Dim objItems As Outlook.items
Dim objContactsFolder As Outlook.MAPIFolder
Dim obj As Object
Dim strFirstName As String
Dim strLastName As String
Dim strFileAs As String
On Error Resume Next
Set objOL = CreateObject("Outlook.Application")
Set objNS = objOL.GetNamespace("MAPI")
Set objContactsFolder = objNS.GetDefaultFolder(olFolderContacts)
Set objItems = objContactsFolder.items
For Each obj In objItems
'Test for contact and not distribution list
If obj.Class = olContact Then
Set objContact = obj
With objContact
' Uncomment the strFileAs line for the desired format
'Lastname, Firstname (Company) format
' strFileAs = .FullNameAndCompany
'Firstname Lastname format
' strFileAs = .FullName
'Lastname, Firstname format
strFileAs = .LastNameAndFirstName
'Company name only
' strFileAs = .CompanyName
'Companyname (Lastname, Firstname)
' strFileAs = .CompanyAndFullName
.FileAs = strFileAs
.Save
End With
End If
Err.Clear
Next
Set objOL = Nothing
Set objNS = Nothing
Set obj = Nothing
Set objContact = Nothing
Set objItems = Nothing
Set objContactsFolder = Nothing
End Sub

i tried this, but all my contacts on td2 got screwd after i sync with my outlook. what shows is just photos and the names are gone..
I did that to a min 6 wm6 mob + on my diamond 1 and diamond2 and never had any problems.

Any reg hack to change the default behaviour of saving as last, first --> first last? Thanks.

that is probably because you did not uncomment one of the formats, just remove the ' before
' strFileAs = .FullName
the code was an sample for all formats, just uncomment the format you would like. When you did not uncomment any, th name indeed would disappear.
I would also like to have the contacts sorted as First, Last.
I've seen solutions where the files get renamed etc., but the solution should be more simple than that.
Isn't there a reg key that deals with sorting order in Contacts?
anyone found a fix for this yet? Its a bit annoying having it lastname, firstname I have trouble remembering their firstnames sometimes ;-)
It's really easy...
You don't need scripts etc.
1) Select the contact
2) Click edit contact
3) Scroll down
4) Click more
-- You should now see the windows mobile contact editor
5) Under "File as" Open the drop down list and change the selection

I was thinking about this tweak... Are there any cases where an SMS may NOT be sent, and don't I need to know if it was not sent?
Would it not sit in the outbox till it went anywhere?
The only thing that this disabled was the audible Message sent Alert, I still get the pop-up onscreen notification.
you need to install a tool called Advanced Configuration, if it is not already included whatever ROM you are running you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
Threaded or Non-Threaded Messaging
Hi All - first post... On the Touch HD I really don't like the Threaded Messaging system Is there a software fix to turn this ON or OFF with ease? Also, is there a way to show sms/mms/emails being sent clearly and then notified clearly that the sms/mms/email has been sent? Compared to Nokia N95 and Samsung Omnia I find the above very vague... Cheers

Click to collapse Hi, If I know well you can do it registry setting only HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSAvailable Change dword value from 1 to 0 and you're done or create a folder named OEM in HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\M!cro$oft\Inbox\Settings Then in the new named OEM folder, create a DWORD key called SMSInboxThreadingDisabled with a value of 1 (1 disable, 0 enable threading) Default SMS Delivery Notifications to on To always have SMS Delivery Notifications enabled: HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDelivery Notify = 1 (DWORD decimal) To disable them (can still enable per-SMS in SMS settings): HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings\SMSDelivery Notify = 0 (DWORD decimal)

Oh i understand now.. i think i have the soluton! Correctly Configure your settings extract GetBinaryFromReg Connect Phone to computer(Activesync) run .bat file in GetBinaryFromReg(follow the prompt) rename RapiConfigOut.xml to _setup.xml Extract Cabwiz_tools replace the _setup.xml with the one you just renamed(from GetBinaryFromReg Folder) Run .bat in cabwiz folder This should of created a file named regcab.cab rename it to connections.cab this will configure your settings when installed! If your interested in using provisional XML to also backup ur email & wifi password settings to a cab i wrote a post here about it
thanks man... i'll try it... for the email settings i used makisu... will see about wifi...
nice you can take the email settings from the maiksu xml file and then use cabwiz to turn it into a cab if you like also.
does the signature for the email account (exchange) sits in the registry? i'd like to back that up too....
