Hi all
Whatsapp has messed up phone book!
Some of my phone numbers show up as +44 at the start of the number, some show up as 44 and some show up as 07. (UK numbers)
The numbers that show up as 44 i can't phone them cos there is no + in front of the number. When i go to edit the phone number it shows up as 07! Seriously WTF?! When i view the contact card it shows as 44 then when i edit it shows as 07!!! Why can't it just show as what i entered into the phone book! WTF is this random nonsense!
Anyone got any idea how to fix this without having to go thru my whole phonebook and wasting a few hours of my life that i'll never get back?
Android has a lot to answer for as well, effing crap phone book setup! They should learn how to make a 'phone' from Nokia. My Smartphone is now a total Dumbphone as i can't phone half the people in my phonebook.
Serious fail!
Rant over...for the now!

hey guys i just updated my device to have touchflo 2.3 and slide to unlock.
My only problem is that about half my phonebook is missing. I'm not sure if its just the numbers on my sim, or my numbers saved to my phone.
They are still on my phone because they show up if i try to send the person a text (you know how it predicts the person by there name when you go to type it in the send to), but they won't show up in my phone book.
Does anyone have any clue why this might happen, or anything i could do to fix it?
If you didn't back up the numbers first before you flashed your phone with TouchIT 2.3, then you deleted all your contacts. The ones that are showing are in your SIM but TouchIT is setup so that it won't show them in your contact list.
i backed up my numbers, but is there anyway for me to move the sim contacts on my phone so that i can see them in my phone book?
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"ShowSIM"=dword:00000001
i got it,thanks for your help!
Hello,
I often use an access code to dial internationally, and once I am connected to that access number, I have to enter the number of the person I am calling.
I have an HTC Touch HD with WM6.1pro and cannot find a way to do it. If I connect to the access number, then at the prompt go to my address book and dial a second number, it assumes I want to have two separate calls and puts the access code on Hold... which is not what I want! I do not remember all my friend's numbers, so I do have to use the address book.
With my old nokia n95, once connected I could go to the menu and say I want to dial a DTMF which is the tone you hear when dialing a normal phone. This allows me to follow on with calling the number I need while connected to the call.
Is there a way of doing this on WM6?
I have a kind of work around. I edit my international friends phone numbers as a "car phone" and the numbers look like this
02081802828 p 0027115555555
the access code, then I add p to pause then their number.
The HUGE problem is that when I dial any of my international contacts, the phone displays the same person... so no matter who I call internationally, it always shows a photo of my friend Ian, and displays his name instead of the person I am actually speaking to. I think this is a bug where WM6.1 only looks at the first 11 characters of a number, but the problem is, all my intl numbers have the same first 11 numbers.
Help MUCH appreciated, thanks,
Mark.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Don't know if it will work... but you coud try (using Advanced Config) to increase the number of digits used to "match" the numbers in the contacts... for example to 18 or 19 numbers... but I cannot immagine what other "consequencies"could happen...
Let us know !

Hi Kostas
It seems that the problem is actually with spb Mobile Shell and not windows mobile.
When I dial using the windows mobile dialler, it gets the name and picture right, but when I use spb's dialler it shows the wrong person and name...
I will chase it up with them... and thanks for the good idea, unfortunately the Call ID Match does not help the problem.

hey guys i was wondering how to remove the phone number out of sms? it says the persons name then it has their phone number next to it. this only happens when i backup my contacts from my google account. if i dont back those numbers up, and manually enter it, it only shows the persons name. any help is appreciated
I know that we talked about this in the thread and some people tried to but couldn't figure out how to get rid of it.
I just learned to live with it or just get another message application ...

Hi there,
Isn't there some way to get the Android OS to organise/sort texts based on the contacts they are recieved from as opposed to the number?. I have a contact that has 11 phone numbers and its midly frustrating having it show it as 11 conversations instead of 1 when its the same person. I know iOS has provisions for this and it can't be that hard to pool the contacts database and determine whether a number belongs to a contact or not and toss that message into the same conversation.
But does Android have provisions for that or can it be changed some how?, because as i said, its a bit annoying to have 11 conversations when 1 can do it.
Basically every time I open a link mostly on email it only takes half the url If there's numbers in it, and thinks the other half is a phone number and tries to save it when clicked. It does it when trying to copy things with numbers in as well it's really getting on my nerves is there any way to fix this?
Try a different email app.
It's not just on email though it's whenever a number is present
