Why can't I find the option to sort by last name?

I see posts from some people with Android 2.2 that their phone gives the option of sorting by last name or by first name.  However, following the procedure they give, I don't see "display option".  I have seen other people who say they have the same problem on other forums, but no solutions were offered other than that it might be motoblur.  Is it motoblur?  if so, can I remove motoblur so I can sort?  Or is there another workaround?  This continues to be a major annoyance for me when I want to make a call...  Any help is appreciated.

A fix is to download an alternative dialer from the market.  I use Dialer One (free) which allows you  to sort by last name.
It also shows time/date of all calls, vs the strange format used for recent calls (e.g. "6 hours ago") by the default dialer.
You can keep both, switching back to the stock dialer if you need to.

    why can't I find the instagram app in the App Store for the ipad?  There is one for the iphone...

    Perhaps because the "Instagram" App is optimized only for the iPhone 5 currently and there is no Instagram App for the iPad only at this time???
    I don't see one listed in the U.S. App Store.

  • Why can't I find the color profile info in the library ?

    Why can’t I find the color profile info in the library ?
    It’s sometimes necessary to convert to sRGB for some applications ( internet, some beamers in clubs,…).
    I convert them but afterwards it is nice to have the possibility to check this out and should be possible in lightroom, the info is present why not showing it ( it is not so easy to go in finder and look at it in info for every image)?
    Since I’m always working in Adobe profile for printing and so this is important to know !
    But no trace of it anywhere….
    Thx for any reply.

    The disconnect here is many (including me) don't reimport rendered JPEGs
    into our Lightroom Catalogs. Why you are doing that is beyond me. You
    have the original and can recreate any rendered file at any time.
    Storing the derivative JPEGs is redundant, creates additional confusion
    and serves little real purpose. Exported versions are considered
    discarable by many.
    Yes, understand what you're meaning. but the fact is that I started rather recently with lightroom. So my images where classified in directory's and subdirectory's...already.
    I think that this is the major problem. This is always a problem when you step in a new system.
    Let's say I am going to submit to a photographic society, I have an Export
    preset created that exports to proper size and color space for
    projection. It creates a file. I send it to the club. Then I delete it.
    Why save it? I can recreate it. Then I don't have to manage it, search
    for it, or worse yet, risk confusion with my original file or othe
    resultant derivatives. 
    The fact that I like to keep them is
    indeed an inborn result of the "pré-lightroom period". A bad habitude
    indeed. I'm thinking now of deleting them, will maybe better. On the other side
    I still have them just for me in order to know which ones I used and when.
    Another bad habitude.
    But
    since I'm not a professional photographer I'm mostly confronted with the time
    issue and it is for me easier to take existing files ready for use...
    ( doesn't mean you’re not confronted
    with this problem
    Today place for jpeg's is rather easy since the Gb's are almost free...
    Same is true of a client photo. They want an 8x10. I go to the retouched
    original, create a JPEG from an 8x10 preset in the proper dimensions and color space. Send it to the lab. Then, I can delete it.
    One of the strengths of Lightroom is that it creates many fewer
    intermediate file versions along the way toward final creation. Another
    strength is that you can save (via snapshots in Develop) your
    derivatives, export, and discard them without having to create, import
    and manage additional files on disk. In the old days of just Photoshop
    you might end up with a dozen or more files on your disk for every
    worked file. With Lightroom, you only need one or two.
    Will look deeper in your proposed workflow...and yes I'm comming from the old days.
    That said, if you want to keep the derivatives for purposes down the road,
    that is up to you but I don't understand why they need to be inserted
    into your catalog.
    Since my catalog is made in the time
    from before lightroom I’m still having all these directory's and
    subdirectory's...
    Easier
    for me since even with back-ups of the catalogue still afraid for crashes. And
    I keep liking these directory structure because for the moment it's lighrtroom
    and tomorrow it can be another program, you never know. It's like a website, "on line versoin only", big problem when a firm at some moment stop to provide this possibility.
    I think I will try to go deeper in "how to use lightroom better..."
    thanks

  • Why can't Firefox find the simplest sites and sites that I frequent?

    Why can't Firefox find ANY of the servers for the sites I frequent the most?
    Were you bought out by Google Chrome? This is beyond frustrating and ******* off your customers even if you are a free service is probably not a good business model.

  • HT4413 Why can't I find the files and data I transferred from time machine on my new mac?

    So I just got a new mac and I always backed up my old mac. I used the migration assistant to transferr all the stuff from my old mac to the new one. After it completed I tried  to find all my pictures, music, and documents but couldn't. Where did all my stuff go and why can't I find it? Migration Assistant said everything transferred and went ok.

    Peruse Pondini's Setup New Mac guide and seriously consider starting over. I'm a firm believer in only using the Setup Assistant and not creating a new account on first boot.

  • Why can I not find the Rubber Stamp icon in Fireworks 8

    Using Fireworks 8:
    ok - fairly new to all this - but I am trying to clone pixels and am looking for the rubber stamp icon.  My "Bitmap" menu has marquee, lasso, magic wand, brush, pencil, eraser, burn & red eye icons on it, and under "Assets" (under Image Editing tab) in the other toolbar I have red eye, crop, scale, blur, sharpen, dodge and burn icons. No rubber stamp icon to be found.  I am trying to edit a .jpg file (photo).  I have read that it only works on bitmap files so I have saved it as a .bmp but still no luck finding the rubber stamp icon.  Where am I going wrong please?!
    Many thanks

    Panic not... it has only taken me all afternoon but there must have been a error as I have just reloaded the app and holding the mouse button down now produces a menu of options on the bitmap menu, so the user can toggles from one to the other.

  • Why can't I find the Spot Healing Brush?

    Can't find the "Spot Healing Brush" on my PS CS5.

    Tab toggles all the panels on and off.  You can use the f key to toggle through the screen modes, but if you are in a mode that hides the panels Escape brings them back again.
    I am sure we used to be able to tun the Toolbar on and off with the t key, but that no longer works with CC (and I don't how far back).
    So long as you can see the Options bar, you can use the Workspace dropdown and reset your workspace.  That will fix things no matter how confused things have become.

  • Organzing Bookmarks - I can no longer find the option to organize unorganized bookmarks?

    I recently downloaded the latest version of FireFox. I have laptop: Samsung RV511 - latest version of Windows 64bit.
    There used to be option to organize or manage your bookmarks. You could move Bookmarks from folder to folder, create new folders and easily add boomarks to existing folders. But now I can't find this option to drag and drop unorganized book marks into existing folders or create new folders. Please help me stay organized.

    That option has been renamed to '''Show All Bookmarks'''.
    <BR>It can be found under the '''Bookmarks''' menu as before.
