5800XM: Setting Contacts Bar default phone no for ...

Hi all
I'm trying to use the Contacts bar on the home screen of my 5800XM but I can't find a way to select which phone no. of the contacts I want to appear as default.
The problem is each of my contacts has a home no. (landline) plus one or more mobile nos. However, on the Contacts bar, when you click on a contact, it only shows a single phone no. and for some reason it's only the landline no.
I want to be able to change it so that the default no that is shown in contacts bar is their mobile no, but I cant find a way to do it.
Any ideas?
Solved!

Hi
I fellow member of the forum (patruns) sent me a private message and solved the problem.
What I wanted was the default no. to make a call when I select the contact icon, but it appears that the no. that is displayed beside the icon has no relation to the no that you actually dial.
When you click on the Phone icon below the contact, it pops up a dialog giving you a list of all the phone nos of that contact. From there you select the no. you want to dial for that contact.
That was what I was after.
Cheers

  • How to set a contact's default phone number for Siri to call

    Currently using iOS 8.2:
    I really enjoy using Siri to make hands-free phone calls e.g. "Call Mom."  However, many of my contacts have multiple numbers. For most of my contacts, simply saying "Call Mom" will jump me straight into a phone call to their iPhone or cell phone number; but for a few of my contacts, I'll say "Call my wife" and Siri will reply with: "which phone number should I dial: iPhone, home, work?"  I have tried re-arranging and relabeling numbers in Contacts and I've tried adding specific numbers to my "Favorites" section in the Phone app, but no dice.
    Any help or ideas? There are many postings on this subject dating to 2009 indicating customer preference for a default option. Either it is too difficult for Apple to accomplish or there is some solution which I haven't learned.

    My iPad has it's own phone number through Verizon.  Before I knew this, I had already set up messages to use my iPhone number.  Now I can't figure out how to set up the iPad phone number for messages and facetime on the iPad.

  • Contact Bar has stopped Working for Nokia 5800 XM

    Is there any way that anyone would be able to help me. I have had the Nokia 5800XM for 2 months now and a couple of days after getting it, my contacts bar home screen froze. It does not let me add any contacts on, and leaves the screen unresponsive which means that i have to use a different home screen option. have tried Updating Firmware(also tried re-installing it) My version is 30.0.011, and it does not let me update to the new Firmware
    any help is much appreciated
    Thanks

    I had this problem with my 5800XM last week. The only difference was that it was the shortcut screen that failed. Everytime I pressed a button nothing happened, even the contact and dialler buttons were dead. I had to change to the contacts home screen (very annoying). Tried the web but couldn't find any mention of this problem.
    In frustration, I did a hardware re-set of my phone (after doing a backup) using the Green, Red and Camera buttons whilst the phone was powering up,. I then re-formatted the memory card in the phone and did a full re-install.
    Hey presto, everything works perfectly again. I guess the software in some way got screwed up  ?

  • I tried linking the facebook contacts to my phone but for some reason the contacts doesnt wants to show the FB images even thought it says that it was sync. What could be the issue? How can it be fixed so i could get my facebook lined up to my contacts?

    I tried linking the facebook contacts to my phone(iPhone4s) but for some reason my conatcts doesnt wants to show the FB images in my contacts even though it said facebook contacts were sync. What could be the issue? How can it be fix so I could sync my contacts with Facebook?

    Firefox will not appear in the Market for most phones with incompatible hardware. You can check if your phone is supported here:
    https://wiki.mozilla.org/Mobile/Platforms/Android
    Even on some supported devices, a bug in the Market software prevents Firefox from showing up. This may be related to the fairly recent Android Market app update. If you go to Settings/Applications/Market and choose "Uninstall" you can uninstall the update, and then search for and install Firefox from the marketplace.
    Or, if you have a supported phone, you can download the app directly by typing this address into your phone's browser: http://bit.ly/fxbeta3
    (Note: To download the app directly for an AT&T phone, you will have to search for instructions on "sideloading" the APK file, since AT&T disables the option to install from non-Market sources.)

  • How do you set a contact's default phone number

    I have contacts that have multiple numbers.  I would like to such one from mobile to iphone and was wondering how it is done.

    I think you mean "switch" instead of "such" - you're trying to have the phone number show up as an iPhone in contacts instead of a mobile phone.
    If so, open the contact, click "Edit" in the upper right, click "mobile" and change it to "iPhone".

  • Can I set up custom default printer profiles for different printers in mountain lion?

    I have 2 printers connected to my Mac. An officejet and an Eltron label printer. I constantly need to manually change the default label printer size to print to the label printer or officejet. Is there a way to set it where all print jobs going to the label printer is 4x6? Sometimes, I forget and waste some labels to the eltron or send a job to my office jet and it prints a 4x6 image of the document on letter paper. Obviously its a bit of a hassle. If anyone has a trick for this or even third party software, please advise.

    Andrew,
    If i am clear with your requirement then You can achieve this by setting the value manually in PR.

    Hello Christopher715,
    It sounds like the process that you have tried is the correct one, there may be one detail overlooked.
    On your phone, have you tried to email your printer ([email protected]), without adding it to your address book yet?

  • Set default Phone Number

    Please advise if its is possible to set a default phone number for a contact with multiple contact numbers

    I'm going to clarify this situation by explaining the problem experienced and outlining a possible missing feature which may be missing for the right reasons.
    1. When you click on a contact from the CONTACTS tab, you are presented with the 'Info' page for that person so that you can Call, Text, Share or Add them to favorites.
    2. When you click on the 'left' part of a contact from the RECENTS page, it will call them back on the number that they rang you from for that perticular call.
    However, if you want to call them back on another number, you click on the 'right' part of their contact from the RECENTS page where you are taken to their 'Info' page.
    3. FAVORITES, i found this very confusing at first. You need to understand that this is just a link to 1 number type of that contact (e.g. iPhone, work, etc) and not to the entire contact. If you link it to 'iPhone' and change their 'iPhone' number, it will change. But if you add a new number for them, e.g. 'home' and then delete 'iPhone' it will not update. You need to change your favorites if it no longer represents their main number.
    You could consider a main defaul number, so that when it comes to returning calls, it regards the number they rang from and will call your chosen main number for them but this will only complicate things for most people, and this is just as easily resolved by just clicking on the 'right' part of the recents tab where you can select a number to call them from.
    I hope this clarifys things.

  • Default phone numbers

    When you have several phone numbers for a contact can you set one of them to be the default used on the "favorites" page?

    Ms. Shonta, thanks for the info, i did not know that you could add up to 51 contacts! i tried it, and sure enough, new boxes pop up once you fill up all of the default ones.
    However, it does not seem you answered the question at hand. Plus, just fyi to all Verizon reps, 99% of the questions on the Kin are now focused on the Kin ONEM and kin TWOM, not the original kin phones (which for some reason, you constantly keep replying for..even though that phone has been successfully killed off through the closing of the studio and the free smartphone promotion). It would be really nice if you actually provided answers to the questions at hand, not confusing/misleading replies to those who don't know about the older Kin phones. There is no Loop, or Studio, or Spot on the M model phones.
    As far as picking a default phone number for a contact..i do not know how to do this or if it is possible. I know by default, it prioritizes the numbers by mobile, home, mobile2, etc (along the order that appears when you click the 'add a number' button in the contact info). I haven't been able to figure out how to pick the 'main' number that it selects from the favorites page by default (when you press 'call' or 'text'). If anyone knows how, or if it is/isn't possible, please provide an answer.

  • Default Billing Type for Delivery against PO

    Hi Experts,
    Is there any setting to maintain Default Billing Type for Delivery against STO. Though the invoice is crated by manually putting customized Biiling Type and A/Cing doc also generated, but in the VF04 still system shows the same deliveries pending with Billing Type (F2).
    Kinly help in finding out the reason.
    Thanks & Regards
    Girish

    Hi
    There is a customization available here no default or hard coded
    Normally in a sales doc type we mention which billing type system has to pick
    If the billing happens from a PO which billing type system will take depends on the controls set in the areas mentioned below
    Go to your delivery type OVLK (say your delivery type is NL)
    In that there is a field called default order qty in the order reference tab (say if you maintained DL there)
    This DL is called PSEUDO order type
    Then in VOV8 for DL based on the billing types mentioned ,system will take the billing doc
    For delivery related billing say if you mention say ZF8  in the details of DL in VOV8(provided you have created ZF8)
    Then while you bill the delivery doc of NL system will take ZF8
    For intercompany delivery you can create ZIV billing type also Pure customization
    PO is linked to delivery type ( MM spro settings)--Del type linked to order (pseudo)  type---in order type (pseudo) we mention the billing types. Here the flow is bit different that pure SD flow
    Though the invoice is crated by manually putting customized Biiling Type and A/Cing doc also generated, but in the VF04 still system shows the same deliveries pending with Billing Type (F2).
    This manual is not reqd if the said assignments are done properly
    Regards

    Hello there MizzouTrojan,
    If I understand correctly you want all 6 devices to have access to a single calendar that each device gets notifications for and can edit. You can do that with an private iCloud shared calendar. First sign into www.icloud.com and use these steps from the following article to share a calendar:
    iCloud: Share a calendar with others
    Share a calendar privately
    Click the Share button to the right of the calendar name in the sidebar, then select Private Calendar.
    Note:    You can also share the same calendar publicly. For instructions, see the next task, “Share a calendar publicly.” 
    Type the invitee’s email address in the Add Person field and press Return.
    Click the pop-up menu with the invitee’s name and choose access privileges (View & Edit or View Only). 
    For each person you want to share the calendar with, repeat steps 2 and 3.
    When you’ve invited everyone and set their privileges, click OK.
    Invitation emails are sent from your iCloud email address to the participants you specified.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
    Sterling
