[Q] Changing content of Contact List - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Is there a way to chage the list of Contact List. I mean i have a large contact list. I add company name, job or title to my contacts. But when someone call me on the screen, it shows only name and surname by default. (Normally). But i have a lot of X Y on my list. I couldn't figure out until i answered the call. And i dont want to add company name or title to the name, surname fields.
Is there a simple way to change this like X(Name) + Y(Surname) + Z(Company) like a string concat or something.
I dont want to use 3rd party application but if you have something on your mind. Feel free to answer here.
Thanks.

HTC home "Favorite People" - names are cut to a few letters only. Any fix possible?

HTC home "Favorite People" - names are cut to a few letters only. Any fix possible?
Does anyone know if there is a way to modify some registry or *.ini settings to display at least some more letters from a last name so the contact can be recognized?
The problem is that when you assign names from contacts list to Favorite People tabs, the font is so small and room is so little that it displays only a few first letters of a name so you can't figure out whose number is there in case you have same last name for a few persons in your contacts. Try it, and you see what I mean. Here is a screenshot from my Favorite people list. As you can see, two different contacts named "Katia Cell" and "Katia Work" are displayed only with words "Katia..." So it's impossible to figure out which contact is which.
My personal opinion is that it's needed to reduce number of people down to six (from ten) so there will be more room to display letters. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
Hello,
If you put the two phone numbers on the same contact, there will be a small icon in the upper left corner to differentiate cell phone and land line number.
This Favorite People option is to use with the contact who has contact's picture. I am using it with picture contact and its fine. For mobile, home or work an icon appear with the picture if you have the same contact with all the different information.
I got it. Works good with a picture contact. Thanks.

Contact Telephone Number Layout

Hi,
this has no doubt been answered before, but how do I change the layout of contact numbers to remove the 2 '-' separators in the numbers, without editing my entire list?
Please help
I think you're going to have to edit on Gmail or Outlook, unless its a feature of the phone by default then go into the People apps setting and have a look around there or maybe when you create a contact you can change the setting.
Personally I don't have that happening on mine at all. I put a space between the country code and the actual number but that is it.

Thanks for the reply.....it only appears in this format 000-000-0000 when imported from an SD Card.....not sure why it does it.....it's stupid

[Q] Better Dialer Screen

Hi Guys.
I have a sugession and request as well. There is something very important missing in Manila Dialer screen.
When call comes, in Tytn II, it shows Caller Name, Number, His Company name and Designation (if stored with name). But in manila, this is missing.
I request you, if it is possible to make something in that way. I have several contacts with the same name from different companies and when a call cames I never know what person is really calling. It would be great if we can have a dialer screen with Picture, Name, Company name and number.
I have searched and searched and I could not find what I need.
Thanks & Best Regards
Any ideia how to change the dialer? I think I can only change colors and fonts on the dialer.
Any possibility to change the fields that are displayed and add the company name too?

[MOD]phone.apk to show caller company

It would be nice if we could display the callers company name along with their name and number when receiving a call.
Also, it would be a great ideea if a developer could mod the dialer screen to search T9 both the name, given name and company.

Yes this is definitely is a very useful feature...
That would be nice, but what I miss a lot from CM7 is showing in-call the custom tag of each number of the contact.
It is very useful when a contact calls you from one of their numbers, and you can recognize the specific one (home, work, personal, mobile, custom...)
Is that possible? I would PAY for it!!

[Q] remove selected text from calender title?

Hello.
Is it possible to remove selected text from the calendar title.
Example, say the word "SPRING" appears on many of my titles but I want that word removed if so, is that possible?
And what if I want to remove one word and then also switch another one?
Example, change. .. SPRING: GIANTS AT PADRES
into... GIANTS @ PADRES
So "Spring:" is removed and "AT" is switched to "@"
I want to do even more than this, but I'm hoping I'd some one could show me how to do this, If it's even possible, then I could expand it from there.
Thanks.

With the native options in Zooper this is not possible. You'll have to process your calendar events through Tasker for this kind of string reformatting.
