Touch-it 4.4

I have tried to search with no luck. My question is when i installed touchit 4.4 i do not have any of the pop up menu's IE when making a text and i start typing the persons name or a word it never pops up suggestions. With over 200 contacts i would like to have the short option to type in 3 letters or so and select the contact from the actual Sms screen. Another thing is when i goto create new (msg) i dont get the option to do MMS or SMS. Lastly off the top of my head when i am typing words i like the option with suggestions again. Can anybody either point me to the proper settings or registry keys to re-enable these features. Also i noticed when i put touch it on my phone all of my contacts are doubled now ? how can i fix this without manually deleting them all

1. I havent seached for a fix as far as typing input for SMS recipients, I have just gotten use to clicking menu and adding someone from my contacts instead of typing there name.
2. If you put messaging on your today screen, click on the no unread messages bar and it will take you to the messaging center to pick MMS,SMS, email account.
3. I did think the wings OEM text suggestion program was great, Ive gotten use to not using it with 4.4. Tho if you use the virtual keyboard the program is still enabled.
I dont know if any of this will be a fix for you, it is alil info. There might be things you have to get use to not having with Touch, but be glad you have more than 14mb of memory.
Also, for the duplicate contacts, I would just make sure all your numbers are embedded on your sim card, then select all from your contacts and delete them. Open SIM manager from programs, select all from menu and save all to contacts.

Yes true maybe someone can find the registry keys to enable it, Speaking of registry besides the lame attempt at wiki of a good solid registry hack,tweak mod guide does anybody have a better site while i was Out of town visiting over xmas i stumbled accross a site that offered so many registry hacks but i didnt book mark it
Also a few more questions i get really mad that the Wing does not allow lets say .mid .gif etc files in MMS's is there a way to disable automatic file deletion in mms? sorry if this doesnt make much sense just worked 14 hrs.

you can just write your contact's name (or part of their name) and then go to "menu" and click on "check names".
This should be easier than going through your contacts.

typing a name and then going thru menu is more steps than just clicking add recipent and clicking the contact you want.
I dont know any other registry sites.
Good Luck

SMS multiple recipients

I know how to send a text to multiple recipients, but it seems a long winded way of doing it. like selecting one recipient then going back into the contact list and doign it again.
On my Nokia E65 I could just go into my contacts list and put a check next to each name, very handy when sending a text to 30 or so people.
Is there a way to do this on Touch HD?

I face the same prob too... its kinda tiring if we have so many receipients to send to... one by one... even a low end phone can allow user to tick as many contacts at one go.. hope someone have a shortcut for this prob..

yep its a bit of a nightmare having to add contacts one by one.
what you need is something that will "Group" into your SMS composition menu.
something like this....
you can create new groups and add contacts as you see fit. then when it comes to composing the mail, just add the group you want. works really well.
i organise my 5-a-side games using this. dead handy.

This really annoyed me at first but I then found it a lot easier to just begin typing contact names into the To: field, and then using the auto list to select them rather than using the contact list if that helps.

Saves a little time, but if im sending to loads of people i might not remember their name unless i see them on the list first.
Show me the check boxes......

Try MassMessage (just check a box before each name, and send it to everyone you choose in the list) and SMSDRFIX (choose to see the number, the name, both)

can i assigne this mass message to the touchflo interdface so that launches when i click messages as opposed to the standard WM messafing centre.

I can only see it in in the start menu buttons.

In this prog you can only use groups for SMS. I have several categories (subfolders) in Outlook of my employees' e-mails. I'd like to send email to a group, not only SMS.
The other thing that bothers me is that the groups (categories) this program shows do not have complete database. For example, group "employees" has 20 entries, but only 12 show with this prog. Also if I choose "all contacts" it merely shows 10% of all I have. Any fixes? I'm using v1.4.8.

SMS adding contact?

Hi guys,
Just noticed how the Nexus, when i go to messaging and compose a new SMS i cannot view my contact list and select someone. Instead i need to type the first 2 letters of their name and they appear in a dropdown box. Is their no way to bring up the contact list and choose someone?
Thankyou

Download "Handcent SMS" from the market

Yeah, I don't understand the logic there either. Although you could just start in your contacts list and select the text message link from there. Still not as intuitive.

Find the person first, then type the message?

Thanks so i guess its not only me that finds this simply problem annoying. I hate it when i make a mistake accidentally hitting the wrong key and need to delete. Would be such a simple process just adding via contact list.

Well... yeah. Go to your contact list, find the person, and you have a centralized screen where you can choose, inter alia, to call, sms, or email them.

add contacts to sms
Assign your contacts a label i.e. home, mobile etc..
This will solve your problem.
You might have to do this individually for each contact.

How to edit/remove contact favorites

Hi - does anyone know how to edit or remove favourites on the contacts screen? None of the menu options has it (or it's not obvious). I've set up some contacts with the "wrong" default contact method and I want to change it.
Thanks.
PS unlocked Desire from Clove - arrived Wednesday 14th April.

Press - People after that Groups, select Favorites and long press over the contact

Thanks Soledue. Typical - I sort of discovered the method not long after I posted and it's how you describe. The people widget can show any group - Favorites is just one of them! Cheers.

Am I being really dumb, because I'm having a problem with this too and your solution doesn't seem to solve it!?
All I want to do is remove some people from the "Favorites" group.
I have selected that contact, chosen "Edit", opened the groups list and unchecked the box. The list on the contact's screen still shows "Favorites" and they still appear on the widget. Go back in to edit the contact and the box is still unchecked.
If I open People and then open the groups screen, select the group and long press the contact I have the following menu items: "Call Mobile", "Edit Contact", "Delete Contact", and "Send contact as vCard". Delete contact does exactly that, delete's them completely from the phone.
So how can I get these people out of the Favorites group???

It's prob cause it's still on the Google sync'd contact...had some issues with it myself

My feeling was the same, especially since I have been able to get the contacts removed from the group and widget only to have them reappear minutes later. I assumed this was the result of the phone sync'ing. But I can't quite figure it out... if I view the contact in gmail they aren't a member of the "Starred" group and there is no "Favorite" group, so I think that group must be local to the device.

I am getting the same also, if you view the details they are not in any group, yet show on the widget and in the favourites group itself. Even went to google and removed the notes that, I think, related to the group entry???

Same problem here!
I've added a contact to the Favorites Tab and now I can't delete it from the Group. I've tried all the methods from above posts but none works.
Does anyone know how to fix this, because it's quite frustrating!

The only prob I have , i that every group has " voice mail " in it .. at the top!!...
cant get rid of it .. and it's not part of grp settings
any ideas?

i would like to know that how can i remove the Voicemail number from the contact list widget? tried doing it many times but it keeps on showing no matter what. i dont have a voicemail number and if i had it, it will never be my fave number ever. please help

I have spent all day trying to remove one contact that was stuck in the favourites and your idea worked instantly.
I could remove and add other users just not this particular people.
Thank you

I have had a similar issue to all mentioned in this thread, and there is a way to resolve it.
I beleive the problem is caused by multiple entries per contact. These entries are from your contact, sim contact, google contacts etc.
This is how I fixed the issue;
>Click on the people app
>Select the contact you want to fix (unfortunately it has to be done individually)
>on the top right of the screen there will be something call "Linked", tap on this
>this now shows you what this contact is linked to. If it shows multiple phone, facebook, google etc unlink them all
>make sure you only 1 phone contact, in this set the Group to favourite (or whatever you want), now either link the google/hotmail etc ones to it, or copy the details to the contact and delete all duplicate details
I have condensed mine to phone contact and facebook (plus a few with google).
The desire links all different contact details from various form together. when it does this it picks its own default one, hence you have favourites that aren't, or vice versa.
It took me about 2 to 3 hours to go through my entire contacts list sort it out, pain-staking, but well worth it

THANK YOU!
I'd been at the groups menu and looked at my favorite contacts, but it never occurred to me to remove them from the group directly! Spent several hours editing this one contact I was dying to remove from favorites, only to find it stuck as a favorite. Went through my Google Contacts settings over and over, synchronizing manually every minute after un-starring it, but this was what I was looking for!
I registered only to thank you ^^

Im rather confussed
I have just got my ideos..
what widget r u talking about? I have no contact app.
Im wanting to deleted the people out of the "favroites" in the phone book area...
Please explain to me what to do???
thanks

Sms problem

Try something like GO SMS or handcent. That will rule out if its application specific, if that doesn't work maybe try deleting her as a contact and putting her number in manually when sending a text (or if she has multiple numbers that are marked as mobile, but are infact not). it might try send it to those.

obviously that's not a phone problem
Some settings went wrong, like ryronz said

I encountered this "problem" a couple of days ago when trying to send my daughter an SMS - tried twice, and twice it said "failed to send."
It turned out that it was because of her entry in the contacts list - her home number appears before her mobile number, so the 'phone was (by default) trying to send the SMS to the wrong number.
Have a look through the failed-send messages and you'll likely find the 'phone was trying to send them to her home or work number instead of her mobile.
Two things to do...
1. On your girlfriend's contact, long-tap her mobile number and select "Make Default Number."
2. From the contacts list, tap Menu -> Preferences -> View Contact, and tick the "Text Action for Mobile Only" tickbox.

Okej, will test that
