Auto-suggest contacts in Inbox

[aczelkri]

Hi all!

How can I enable auto-suggest feature in inbox? I mean when I start to type in the TO field the device should offer a few contacts starting with the letters I type. This worked for me on my other devices, but not on Diamond.

Currently I can only tap on the TO text, then it slowly opens Contacts app, where I search for a contact, then it opens another screen where I can select which number I want to use. This is way too complicated!

EDIT: I see that if I use the built-in keyboard it does suggest ONE contact and I need to hit the arrows multiple times to get to the right one. However, if I use any other keyboard (like e.g. Resco Keyboard which is my default one), no contacts are offered at all.

Thanx

I found this info, but it still does not work:

"If you want Auto Complete function in "To:" field in SMS app, go to HKLM>System>Inbox>RecipientAutoComplete and change value of the string MaxSuggestions. from 0 to 4 for example."

This hack works, however disables the default auto-suggestion of the built-in Touch keyboard. However, I do not intend to search further, this is a completely acceptable compromise for me:

"The culprit is Xt9, when it's enabled it disables sms name lookup, so disable XT9 and whalla. Instructions... browse registry:
HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Layouts\e001 0409\Ime File
set the Ime File value from \windows\eT9ime.dll to compime.dll"

You may also need to add these registry entries (not sure):

HKLM>System>Inbox>RecipientAutoComplete
MaxSuggestions (DWORD): 4

HKLM>System>Inbox>RecipientAutoComplete>SuggestionGenerators:
email (STRING): "{364D1505-915A-4b1d-85A6-8C258B2D2246}"
phone (STRING): "{45EEED9B-898c-4caf-BC3E-A5422F56085B}"


Hope somebody will be happy with this finding :)

I am using PHM registry Editor. I have not had any problems with it.

Actually I have this problem not in SMS but in email. I don't get any suggestions at all even without TX9.

Does anyone have a fix for this please?

I am running Nataly 2.6 ROM and both SMS and email have auto-suggestion enabled. However, I have seen some posts complaining about email not working (on other ROMs). Don't know the answer for this one, sorry :(
