Contacts: Display "Name, first name"

Need your help dear BB Z10 community!
Does any one know if there is the possibility within the contacts to display "Name, first name" (and not to sort!) like on the old beloved BB 9900?
How to sort is clear to me, but I would like, within the sort's result, to display first the name and then the rated first name, separated by a comma.
Any advise and help would be very much appreciated!
I just hope not to receiving a response from BB "we cannot do"! It seems to me that BB has not taken over the really professional business features on the Z10, which we daily badly need... at least up to now.

Contact display name problem

Since upgrading to ML I'm having a problem with contact display names in Mail. When I go to compose an email, some contacts have a problem. EG for "John Smith" email [email protected], I type in smith and autocomplete. But Mail displays "[email protected] Smith" as the name. When I look in Address Book the contact card for John Smith is formatted properly. Any ideas?

2100 SMS messages is a lot ! On a Series 40 phone you will be lucky if you get more than 400 messages in your inbox.
I think you should ask your question in the smartphone discussion /discussions/board?board.id=smartphones as the behavoir you describe is something not seen on normal (S40) Nokia phones.
Knowledge should be your Advisor when you need help.

Contacts display first name, last name, except if there's email address then contact info is deleted (?) and email is displayed in contact list.

Confused on these procedures to post.
My contacts should list first name last name, however any contact with an email has info phone numbers and addresses deleted and the email address is displayed in contact list. I know how to change to last name first name but that doesn't help... Any suggestions? Should I delete all contacts and reacquire all through icloud? How?

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

How to put contact list in first name order

how to put contact list in first name order

Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars > Contacts > Sort Order/Display Order 'First, Last'

Iphone4s; Contacts : I want to order my contacts through their first name

Good Day ! I just wanna ask if there is a possibility that i could sort my contacts through their first name because on my iphone (3Gs) it is possible.
Example : John Smith
Steve Jobbs
-What I actually would like to happen is that the name "John" will come first before "Steve" but in Iphone 4/4s, the order will be "Steve Jobbs" then "John Smith" because of their last name.
I've tried the solution, Settings -> Mail,Contacts,Calendars -> Contacts (then Sort and Display Order)
But the thing that I want still haven't solved. Is there any way that I could work this out?
I hope someone could help me/us solve this. Thank you ! Godbless.

Well, I don't know what to tell you, the only way to sort/display contacts on your phone is through those settings.

How can I display the first and last name using a paramater as employee ID?

Hi SAP,
I have a parameter that is called {? Employee ID}. What I want to do is display the first and last name based on the employee ID value entered in {? Employee ID} in the page header of the report. Right now, when I put the following formula in the page header only some pages get the right result while other pages dont....
if table.employeeid = {? Employee ID} then
table.firstname" "table.lastname
It appears as though if the first record in the details section on the beginning of each page happens to be the employee under {? Employee ID} then it prints it correctly, if it isn't I get a null value in the page header.
Anyone have any ideas?
Z

Hi Try this,
Whileprintingrecords;
if ={?EmpID} then
Also check the option "Default values for null" in the formula editor.

Vinay

ashish35,
No one from Apple here - we're just users like you. All I can tell you is that electronic fail and with MacBook Pros (and most notebooks) the components are so integrated as to make a repair to the logic board practically impossible, hence the high prices charged for repairs.
Only you can decide if you want to have your computer repaired or put the money towards the purchase of a new computer. If you do decide to purchase a new unit I would suggest that you also purchase the AppleCare Protection Plan which increases your warranty from one year to three years.
Sorry and good luck,

INVITE with display-name="" in Contact header- 400 Bad request from occas

Hi,
When a UAC sends an INVITE to OCCAS
with the Contact header in the form :
Contact: "" <sip:user@domain>
OCCAS rejects the message with 400 Bad request.
The problem comes from display-name = ""
(proven easily with sipp)
In the 400 response : X-Bad-Request: Illegal header "Contact"
It seems that the string "" as display name should be allowed according to rfc 3261:
display-name = *(token LWS)/ quoted-string
quoted-string = SWS DQUOTE *(qdtext / quoted-pair ) DQUOTE
qdtext = LWS / %x21 / %x23-5B / %x5D-7E/ UTF8-NONASCII
quoted-pair = "\" (%x00-09 / %x0B-0C / %x0E-7F)
Has anyone encountered the problem?
regards
Christophe

How can I change the display name of a contact in my address book?

If I open one of my contacts in the Address Book, the display name is the name of the organization. I want it to be the last name of the individual. How can I change that?

Thank you for your reply. I realize from your answer that I didn't poise my question properly! If I have not entered anything in the 'Display name' field then the message header (i.e. the title of the business card) follows by default the name of the 'Organization'. I wanted to know if it's possible to change this so that the message header of the business card follows the 'Last name' of the person and not the name of the 'Organization'. Thank you!

Hi Everyone, I am using iPhone5, my question in how to display name and contact number both stored for incoming and outgoing calls? If I have saved five different numbers with a same name, how do I recognise that from which number caller is calling?

Hi Everyone, I am using iPhone5, my question in how to display name and contact number both stored for incoming and outgoing calls? If I have saved five different numbers with a same name, how do I recognise that from which number caller is calling?

I have friends all over Europe, does it matter what number they use to call me? Nope! All incoming calls are free for me.
The only time you ever have to worry about which number is if you get charged for incoming domestic/international calls.
You can tag their number (work/home/iphone) and that may show on the CallerID accordingly.
It should show, John Doe
underneath, work/home/mobile

How can I control Updates? (i.e Display Name, First Name, etc)

Hello,
I've noticed that if a user is revoked in resource object A, when one of his properties changes (i.e Display Name), the form of that application isn't updated.
However, if he is in "Provisioned", "Manually cancelled",... then the form gets updated.
I'd like to limit the updates to resource objects where the user is either in Provisioned, Enabled or Disabled state. Is there a simple way to do this? I would think there would be a lookup to define something like this.
Thanks in advance

SMS Text Display name

If I go into options on my BB 8530 and into the SMS Text and change my display name and then save it keeps it for a short period of time. As soon as I do a reboot by the alt, caps, del keys it goes back to the first name I put in. Is there a service book that keeps that stored somewhere? How do I get it to keep the display name that I want? Thanks

Any suggestions on what to do? Is there a service book that maybe can be replaced? I see a WapPushConfig (SMS). Will deleting that maybe fix it or will that cause more issues? Thanks for the help.
Well, quite honestly, the SMS is not enabled by service book... BUT, there is no harm in deleting that one and resending it.
Delete that SB entry.
Reboot (powered on battery pull)
Resend Service Books.
Check it is reinstalled, if not do another reboot.

How do I change my display name to stop showing full name

I chose a display name yet every time I post something it shows my full name!! How can I change this? I have gone into my settings and set it so only I can see my real name, yet it still shows on all my posts in discussions.

Yes I about had a heart attack too - here's not only my full name but my full email address too, just flappin' in the breeze.
Does anyone here know how to contact these Jack Secret website techs at VerizonWireless.com? They've got some bugs to iron out, but they've insulated themselves thoroughly from us plebes.
First of all would be this infuriating little thing in these post forms that keep jumping you back to the last paragraph after you've made a paragraph break.
Secondly, I can think of n ...GRRRR - It just did it again...
Secondly, I can think of no circumstance in which I want to see my profile in any other mode than the way in which it's viewed by every other user. I've never been on any website forum where this bizarre bipolar thing was going on. Just show my profile as seen by others, thanks.
At the very least, put a notice on the profile edit page that tells people about... that bizarre bipolar thing - so they don't have to freak out at the apparent general broadcast of name and email address to the world, the exciting prospect of identity theft, etc.
Lastly, I can find no method by which a person can delete his Ve - RRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!
Lastly, I can find no method by which a person can delete his VerizonWireless community profile. This should always be an option, but not here.

How to find the email address by display name

as title,
i can get the display name from the to, cc, bc edit box,
then i need to get the email address,
current i use object API to query: GWAccount->GWAddressBook->GWAddressBookEntrie->get_EmailAddress,get_DisplayName
but i find it is really slow when there are many contacts, example 10000.
so is there any other effective method to get the email address?

First off, you are not really doing:
GWAccount->GWAddressBook->GWAddressBookEntrie->
get_EmailAddress,get_DisplayName()
are you?
If you enter the full line, it will read in all
of the entries each time it is called.
You should break each part into an object:
gwAccount
gwBook
gwEntries
I'm not sure what you are doing.
Are you trying to compose an email?
If so, why are you not using Recipients.Resolve()?
Are you trying to get the recipients from an email?
