Hey my friend has a Eris and she has a few questions about it. First of, is there an app to change the colour of the trackball for text, missed calls, etc. Second question, is there a way to get rid of the duplicate contacts, maybe a different contact/text/phone app. It shows Google sync and sim card numbers seperate even though its the same info.'
The trackball on the Eris does NOT support multi-color....
and I cannot answer your question about the duplicate contacts.. anyone else?
Update: Under all contacts, press the menu button < View and it should give you a menu so that you can filter contacts based on email / phone / facebook or if contacts have a phone number or email..
other then that you could manually delete duplicates? hope this helps..
thanks man. i'll tell her.

Hey all,
I've had my Kaiser a while now, and I love it to pieces. However...
When I open my SMS/MMS inbox, I see all my texts, but instead of showing the Name of the person who sent me a message, it shows there number (i.e +447870111111). This happens if I haven't pre-saved the contact to my phone (Even though the contacts were saved on my simcard). What's more, I thought copying all the contacts from my SIM to my phone would work, but no look. And now, I have 2 sets of all numbers! (one on SIM and one on Phone).
So My questions are:
Is there a way to have my SMS inbox show the contacts name, rather than number?
Is there a way to tell the Kaiser to hide my Sim Contacts, and just display my phone contacts.
I've searched and searched for these issues, but cannot find anything. I'm fairly technical so am usually good with these type of things. But any help would be appreciated.
Cheers
Scott
for the second question, use kaiser-tweak ...
there's a option under [contacts] where you can disable sim-contacts.
the other question i can't help, sry
bye andré
OK Cheers Edi, Anybody for question number one? Surely this issue affects others?
Just to confirm I'm not a jinx, can somebody else who experiences this issu please post?
bump.......
When you store a contact after receiving an SMS, the SMS database is not updated with the contact info and so the Inbox will show with the number alone! But after storing it once, the next SMS will be named with the Contact. This is how it happens in Windows Mobile or the way it handles the messages. The updating is not done in all SMS after a contact is stored as it would slow down the device.

Carty..
Thanks for that Carty, now i know I'm not going insane!
It's a shame it has to be that way though... Standard mobile phones usually update themselves when you've saved the number as a contact. Ah well, I still have the best phone ever!
Cheers
Experiencing The Same Problem
Try to include the country code and for sure you'll have the name appear. Problem will be, when that person is calling from the same country... Country code will be omited. So you wouldn't see the name of the person who's calling... and vise versa
Did you find any solution?
Thanks,
Angelo

Wow this thread's a blast from the past
TBH I've not noticed the problem again, which could mean one of two things:
1) The problem has now gone after Flashing a WM6.1 ROM, or
2) I haven't had any "New" people send me a text.
Sorry I can't be of more help...
Hi,
I haven't had an issue with numbers showing on an SMS instead of names (as I store my numbers as +447976123456, but I did have a REALLY annoying issue with SMS delivery reports having the number instead of the name.
This would have been fine if I sent one text every now and then , but as a heavy texter it drove me nuts - never knowing whos message had been delivered.
Just in case anyone else is having trouble with this - try the attached file - it lets you change the format of the report you get when your SMS is delivered!
Cheers

I am experimenting with a new contact manager. I like funcontact so far, unless you guys can convince me otherwise.
I'd like to be able to compose a new text message and when I click on TO: it would take me to FunContact instead of the default contact management program.Can this be done, if so how?
If this question has been asked 100 times, sorry, did a search, not sure the right lingo...so am posting. Don't flame me please!

I get really annoyed with the msg that says my text msg's have been sent. Is there a way to turn that off or edit the registry so that doesn't occur?
Also want to show more lines of the standard calendar on the today screen. Have used SBSH Pocket Breeze to show stuff on screen, but that is WAY to busy for me on the screen.
Any idea's on either of these?
let me refer you to my post in this other thread in regards to your first question.

Yes, I know, and I have searched and searched. Found a lot for other phones, but can't find the one for kaiser...I'm new to a lot of this stuff and when you guys say "search" i don't know what keywords to put or how to search or what I'm looking for...
You can use Tom SMS Messaging setting tool to turn the sms sent notification icon & sound off.
Get it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541168
If you are refering to sms delivery reports this can be turned of in sms settings.
Don't know the tweak for the calendar issue. Try a few phrases in the search and you might pull something up.
Edit: try this link as a start to your calendar issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398037
I was cleaning up my phone - call logs, SMS, etc. If I don't do it periodically it gets out of control.
I thought I took care of everything but then I go into Contacts - History and see a duplicate of EVERY SINGLE MESSAGE AND CALL LOG I already deleted! Not only is the record there but the call duration and message content! This is crazy.
Not only that but there's no clear quick way of deleting the history - completely or selected entries.
ARGH. This is very aggravating. How many places do I have to clean up? Is there a better way?
==========
Edit: OK - so I overreacted just a LITTLE. This is still very silly and frustrating. This is a TERRIBLE interface to have to pick through every single record single record to choose things to delete. In fact this whole list shouldn't even exist. There's no grouping or anything like there is in the other interfaces. Awful awful feature.
I discovered this tonight as well cleaning some things up. I figured out how to clear the log completely, but I agree this is a dumb feature.
Does anyone know of a way to prevent this history from compiling? It really makes no sense as to why there is a history for every interaction with a contact, especially if you have previously deleted the text messages or call logs...
~T.J.
I haven't tried this because I don't want to clear my history, but if you go to the Contacts > History tab and hit menu > delete, would that get rid of all the history at once?
Thats how I did it. What Im wondering is why its there in the first place? Whats the point when the logs are available in other places already? Is there a way to eliminate the logging?
~T.J.
What the hell.... Im glad you pointed this out... This feature is uber stupid! :baffled:
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
Uh yeah, my WIFE discovered this on my phone. :facepalm:
So much for surprises. I agree, strange and unnecessary feature.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App
I suppose its an interesting way to spy on whats going on for those who dont know to delete it as she may have found out, but Im wondering if theres a way to prevent it from logging that at all somehow...

Go to Settings - Account & Sync, choose your facebook account and remove it. All your Facebook contact history should be gone. Re-add your FB account if you need it, and I foresee the recurring contact history problem.
Call log
Surely there should be a way that only calls made/recieved only could be in my call log. I dont need a record of text message in my call log. Does anyone know how to fix this?
put a lock on your phone and then no can get into lol
Is anyone else having issue trying to do group messaging from your contacts? Before I upgraded to the Nexus 6 from the Note 2, I would go into my contacts (or Messages) and Select a group contact Like "362nd Soldiers" or "Coworkers" and be able to send a message to that group of people without having to manually select each and every person. I also noticed in messages, when I click on attach it goes straight to my camera and does not allow me to select another contact to send info or perhaps a pdf or excel file or an email link. This is vital in all facets of my life, reserves and my civilian job. I do not want to have to download an app for such a basic function that was pretty much automatic in all other phones. Am I missing something on how to do these basic functions or do I just need to get a different phone?
I tried searching the forums but I get anything other that what I am searching for and I have to go back to the main page of the forum and search Nexus 6 and go back to the main forums each time as well. The search function here is horrible and forget trying just to go right back to where you were. So I apologize if this question has already been answered.
