Creating groups in Phonenumber Agenda of an xz premium

Cris58 — Thu, 17 Aug 2017 08:50:35 GMT

I imported my contacts from my other Xperia but I was petrified to See That i cant group these. How can anybody imagine that one can handle over 300 namens without grouping them?!

I also need advise whether Xperia keyboard is safe, because SwiftKey is an absolute cathastrophy when IT comes to fast typing.

The camera also lacks some functions i constantly used, like touching anybody part of the display to take a photo.

I can't say anything about Xperia Keyboard because I don't use it (Gboard is my keyboard app of choice). I know it uses Swiftkey's engine for autocorrect, but last time I tried it it wasn't as laggy as Swiftkey.

launch camera, tap the cogwheel icon set Touch capture to On.

There ist no Touch capture button on the xz Premium. Also when editing a contact one doesnt find any group or create group button.

Pls folks, dont bother to answer if you dont actually have the just released new xz premium.

I can't find the group name tab under Notes. Is there another extended section?

do you save your contacts to your Google account (in the edit screen, right below the contact photo, there's a position saying "Saving to")? it might be specific to contacts synced with Google.

This is the end of the list. No groups! Please accept the facts!

I'll have to wait until a moderator approves your screenshots before I can see them, so for now I'll accept the fact that both of the functions we're talking about are present on my XZ Premium.

OK, the pics are visible now. I see that you use "large display" setting. have you tried scrolling down on the camera menu? because of the display settings you use, not all options are visible at once.

regarding the group settings - as I've said in this comment here /t5/Xperia-XZ-Premium/Creating-groups-in-Phonenumber-Agenda-of-an-xz-premium/m-p/1255688#M5634, it possibly depepnds on the way you save your contacts. I save all of them to my Google account, so perhaps that has got something to do with it.

Thanks heaps! Still a small "but" remark:

Inside the title i specified, the question is about the agenda of the phone. Not Google, because i have an extremely poor internet connection here, where i live. Never the less i will have to create groups, no matter where, since otherwise i cant finde the persons i'm looking for.

I coudn't scroll down the menu on the camera, i had to change the setting of the display, which i did. And now scrolling down works even with large display. Thanks a lot for this.

Oh, by the way: can i search for a contact from inside a google group and then dial it? An alfabetic agenda is no good for me, when i need a doctor i have to search for my specialist from inside the group "doctors", for example.

regarding scrolling - that's weird. I switched to "big" display setting and I'm able to scroll in camera settings just fine http://gfycat.com/negligibleimaginativecavy

regarding groups - I just checked and it looks like the Contacts app doesn't allow you to manage groups in any way 😕

HOWEVER, you can download Contacts app made by Google. once you download it, you shouldn't worry about connection issues, as all your contacts are still stored on your phone (and backed up on your Google account). you can edit contacts and add labels (Family Friends and so on) to them and once you do so, you can swipe from the left side of the screen and find your labels there, and after tapping the label you'll see only the contacts with that label assigned.
