Problem saving contacts with ","

Beitrag von jasb »

Howdy,

I use myphoneexplorer for quite a while, but there's an symptom that is hapening ever since, so I decided to report now.

I save my contacts with the format of "CompanyName, PersonName", this whole text in the "name" field.

Issue is, when I sync it with MFE, and it sync's back to the phone, MFE saves it to the phone in reverse, without the comma ex:

"PersonName CompanyName"

Would it be possible to check on this issue?

On the phone I have all contacts saved locally, no google accounts or so.

Let me know if you need any info from me to help on this,

You should enter 'CompanyName, PersonName' not under 'name' but under 'Surname', then it will be saved and synchronized correctly.

Howdy,

No, I want to enter it in this format for a proper order.
There's no reason to supress the char that I have in the field, and change the order of the words.

Then I must have misunderstood you :?
“Name” in the mobile phone app is usually not a real field, but a combination of the real fields.
In which fields on the cell phone are the “company name” and “last name” actually located?
Please check this in your cell phone and in MPE!

Hi,

Check this image of the contacts on the below link.
You may be refering about the "name suffix" field (that is the combination you mentioned).
Anyway i don't have a "company field", may be hidden or so, but apart from that, I still want to continue using the contact information in just one field, in the "first name" field, i mentioned "name" but it's "first name" ;), in the format i said: "companyname, blabla"

That is just text, there's no reason for that to be altered/changed by MPE, when i do sync's.

Would it be possible for you to check on this and let me know if you fixed it?
I would appreciate it,

I can't reproduce the problem you described:?
In MPE and in my cell phones, the format ('CompanyName, PersonName') in the First Name field is not changed.
Please check the 'First name' field after the first sync.
Has the format already been changed to MPE?


Is there a third program included in the sync?

Hum I may have found something else.

In MPE, check this image, i have the contact "Canalizador, Nuno Bastos", and have it again in reverse "Nuno Bastos Canalizador" (the comma disapeared).

But on the phone, I have on the main search only a contact (1st image), but in the reverse order, BUT, if i enter the contact (2nd image), and when i click the "storage location" button, you can see the original name, and the other one.

This contact I'm sure it was created on the phone (always phone storage), as I was on the street with this person when i saved the contact.


##
=> After this prints and information, i just unlinked the wrong contact name, and deleted it, made a sync in MPE, and only one contact in MPE and the phone.
Could this be something that was solved in the past?
I'm now using v2.1
