I have a new I-Mate K-Jam, and I'm having problems dialing from contacts.
I'm interested to see if anyone can confirm the same results, following these steps:
1. Soft reset.
2. Access contacts (Start -> Contacts or the Contacts hardware button).
3. Find a contact to dial.
4. Press the green phone button to open up the phone application with the contact number shown, ready for dialing.
On my device, the first attempt of the above briefly launches the phone app with the number inserted, and then within a second switches back to the contacts app.
Further pressing the green phone button does nothing.
Works fine for me. Double clicking the green button on a contact starts calling.

Hmm...I've even hard reset mine to see if that would fix it, no luck. Maybe I have a bad unit?
I have the same problem. Also after it comes back to the contacts my phone signal goes from bars to "!" for a bit.

Mine does the same thing, like the phone resets or something. It's good to hear it's not just me.
Here's some more info. I performed a hard reset, and immediately afterwards, dialing from contacts, (A SIM-based contact, since I hadn't yet synchronized), worked.
As soon as I synchronized with a PC, it stopped working, with about 130 contacts synchronized from Outlook. Even SIM based contacts at that point cannot be dialed.
That's interesting...... hmmmm... well I don't want to do a hard reset yet since I have been tweaking my phone quite a bit. But If I have to then this will be the first thing I will try.
I wonder if has something to do with activesync. What version of activesync do u use?
I'm wondering the same thing. I'm using ActiveSync 4.1.0 Build 4807.
Also, in case I-Mate visits this thread as I've asked them, my ROM versions:
ROM: 1.1.9.3
EXT ROM: 1.1.9.104
More info:
I performed a hard reset, verified that I could dial a SIM contact, then entered a new contact on the device, without using activesync at all.
The problem re-appeared as soon as I added a contact and tried to dial that contact.
Okay, I may have figured this out. The contact I entered on the phone had a number formatted like this:
(123) 456-7890
I performed a soft reset, edited the contact and made the number 1234567890, and I could dial it properly.
Apparently the phone app can't handle a number formatted (123) 456-7890.
A real bonehead bug, if you ask me.
i am running the same version of activesync.
U know a thread concerning this was started at Howard forums
http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=745295
by the way I also saw your post on the main K-JAM thread there.... I don't think it is third party apps on the ppc. I think it is activesync.
Thanks for the thread link, I just posted there as well, hadn't seen that discussion previously.
If you notice my last post, I think I figure out what the problem is. I posted my findings in that hofo thread as well.
oops did not see those last 2 posts... u r way too fast for me.....
by the way stupid questionw do I make the number stick to 1234567890 format. It automatically shifts to (123) 456-7890
When entering contacts on my K-Jam, the number doesn't get reformatted, but in Outlook it may, which would make it a pain to adjust. However, it's been awhile since I've entered a contact in Outlook, so I don't know.
But, after reviewing that thread at hofo, I think the problem is the combination of that phone number format PLUS smart dialing. If you disable smart dialing, the problem appears to go away even if you have the (123) 456-7890 formatting.
To disable smart dialing, open the phone app, make sure the phone keypad is displayed, press the menu button, access "Smart Dialing Options", and uncheck the enable smart dialing checkbox.
To remove the smart dialing software completely, which I'm contemplating, you can delete the cab file from the extended rom and hard reset. Use total commander from http://www.ghisler.com/pocketpc.htm to manually browse to \Extended_Rom on your device, and you can remove files. (Make a backup copy of everything in that directory first).
Total Commander !!
Hi Guys,
I'm afraid of installing Total Commander 2.0 on my i-mate K-Jam, 'coz it doesn't support OMAP processor (i mean the total commander 2.0), did anyone of you install Total Commander on K-JAM ?? if yes, plzz tell me how it works and the result ??
Thank you in advance.

I have it installed on my qtek9100, works great!
Total Commander .. OMAP !!?
I dunno what kind of processor that is on QTek, again guys, did anyone of you tried to install TC 2.0 on OMAP (K-JAM) .. plzz reply ASAP !!
Thanx
The processor for the wizard devices is the omap and it is an ARM variant. I have TC installed on mine (In fact it was installed on mine within 30 minutes of it arriving at my door (Ok, I ambushed the poor FedEx lady before she could get anywhere near my door )) and have experienced no issues with it running on the device.

Very often I have to write an SMS with one hand, but it is impossible with Qtek 2020.
I would like to find a software where you can write an SMS with the standard mode (like on normal GSM) with standard numbers 1-9 with letters on them.
I use D9 to find the contact and I think it is very usefull.
When you find a contact and you tap the SMS button near the number it should be very appriciated to have a standard GSM input letter mode (like T9) instead of default SMS client of WM.
Do someone know if a software like this exists?
Thanks for the answer,
Urosh
GO to www.yorch.net and look under "software".
I' don't find any software I described before.
Please let me know which one do you think do what I said.
Thanks,
Urosh
I apologise, I thought it was on yorches site, here is the link for you, it is a superb piece of software and it is FREE. Anybody else wants a brilliant sms program make sure you get it too.

I just found a bug in this program when running on xda2, if you push "select" button when entering phone number it gives an error, but ig you spend a little time inserting all your often used numbers you can use the drop down becuase it remebers the last 20 numbers that you have used, its worth a little time to set it up becuase it saves a lot of time in the long run.
Actually it's not working at all with my mda ii It says: message sent successfully, but later on-message not delivered Do you have any idea what I could be doing wrong? Is there a special format in which I have to put the number of receipient?
i think, only way is spb fullscreen keyboard or typeango ..
It's working fine on my XDA-II with T-Mobile ROM 1.60. The only thing is that if I am trying to send to local mobile number I have to enter the number with '+', country code etc. while I could use 'short' number with ordinary mobile phone.

Ok, that seemed to do the trick. Tnx a lot, it's working now flawlessly. But, I still have another question -how do you input "+" directly from the SMSwriter. "+" is on the same key as the "0" and whatever I do I keep getting "0". Of coarse, I could call up the keyboard but for that would again need a stlyus
Its a serious shortcoming, its a pity somebody couldnt patch on the ability to select searchwhich would bring up the contacts list, any offers from you programmers please???
unfortunately, found no way around it, I used to enter '+' with soft keyboard using a pen. The only temporary solution which comes to my mind is the list of numbers used to send SMS already (there should be some 25 numbers kept).

For me is impossible to use this software only with my fingers.
It has too small dialogue boxes (to find the contact).
For me the best solution would be to have a D9 program that integrates a SMS client which has the same keypad which is at the start of the program (with big buttons) to write to message (when the contact has just been selected).

Can anyone tell me of a way to get MS voice command v1.5 to work on the JasJar. I can install it but it does not work right. You can play the media player, however if you try to say call "whoever" the contacts comes up and its blank. If anyone has seen this issue please let me know.
Thanks,
Mike
Are your contacts on your SIM or in your devices phone book?
Works fine here by the way.
I have the same problem
Stu
They are on the phone not the sim. This is Windows Mobile 2005 not 2003

right, the contact summery comes up but it's empty - the content of the notice field you can see - and you can say "yes" and voice command is calling your contact.
MS Voice Command 1.5 is not supported for WM5

It is a bit sketchy
I can launch programs great, i can call people fine. change brightness.volume and I get announcements such as battery is running out
the only things that don't work is showing contacts and hearing the spoken callerid.
It is going to come down to waiting for an update
I thought mine was working fine too with WM5 but after several days of resets and minor other problems, I finally cleared the device and didn't reinstall VC and now it runs a lot better. so bottom line... VC 1.5 causes problems on the universal... although it seems to work ok.
Uninstall MSVC
Anybody know how I can uninstall it, and get it out of my settings control panel. I used the .cab installation.
I had to use the Erase memory icon in Programs... it clears the entire unit and sets back to factory defaults.
Please anybody try VITO Voice2Go on JasJar. It's a new voice control application for Pocket PC. Supports all languages.
I personally use this program on my i-mate Jam, and it works fine. Want to khow how does it works with Universal.
Product site: http://vitotechnology.com/en/products/voice2go.html
MSVC and Contacts
Has anybody overcome this problem? I just revisited this, and it does appear to work for everything, including dialing the contacts.... but.... I cannot get it to show a given contact. It will open the contacts list, even repeat back the phone numbers its dialling, but will not show the contacts individual details, at all.
Any feedback? Perhaps delete all contacts, and resynchronise them all?
Regards
Simon
It must be just the Jasjar as I had WM2005 on the XDA II and never had a problem.
I couldn't even get the US Version to work, I eventually got the UK version on and working but I have the empty screen issue in contacts.
Voice Command works fine for me. The contact is blank, but the program itself works fine
Well I guess it's better than nothing! I was always under the impression that Voice Command was actually integrated into WM5; seems not.
Hopefully 1.6 will address these issues...
Voice command work well with the 1.51
I have cyberon speed dial installed by default on XDA Exec, it works fine
Am I right in saying that "cyberon" is not the same as VC, you have to record something for every contact you want to use it with.
When you have alot of contacts, even the thought of doing this is stupid, maybe if it was just your family including Grandma that would be fine but when your running a business and your ringing different people all day.........
Maybe I am wrong, i have never used it......

so your saying there is a voice command 1.51. i can only find 1.5

I feel the same way, I did a Google search and nothing, what is 1.51, are you trying to manipulate us into thinking there is a fix to our problems bought on by micro$oft.
Please let us know....... :shock:
Oddly it worked perfectly on my dodgy beta WM5 on my BlueAngel :S
Is there an easier way to divert phone calls tham as outlined in the handbook Start>Settings>Phone>Services>Call forwarding>get settings. I have to divert phone calls several times a day and this just seems so fiddly!
Sorry I don;t have more details, but I would imagine that there might be phone numbers to dial...depending on your carrier.
For example, *21*[dest]# to forward all calls to the "dest" phone number.
Assuming you forward to the same one or two numbers, you could setup shortcuts to dial that whole string (like Wisbar or vijay555 wonderful phone tools) and viola! your call is forwarded with a single press.
What kind of device do you have? I'm using O2 Plus and its divert profile feature is great. It's the fastest n easiest way. You should try O2 Plus (1.7 or 2.0 - both work well).
pocketMax phoneAlarm has divert profile feature also but it does not work on my device at all.
I've got an o2 mini s. Where do I get o2 plus from?
Click left mouse button on http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php then enter "O2 Plus".
I've already tried searching - nearly 5000 responses and I still can't find a mention of where to get O2 Plus. Please can anyone point me in the right direction?
Sorted it
For all calls press ** 21 * phone number *# SEND
To cancel press ##21# SEND
I've put these numbers into Speed Dial - all sorted.
Location of o2 plus version 2 download
o2 Plus adds lots of value and makes it real easy to do diverts, so if you still want it, you can download it here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...days=0&postorder=asc&highlight=o2plus&start=0
I particularly like the schedule feature, so you can have timed diversions.
Make sure you download the cracked version which is in a message about 2/3 of the way down the first page of this forum
excellent App...
i was looking for something to add operator name... and o2 plus does that and more....
Can't install
I've downloaded it but I don't seem able to install it. I can load the main program but can't load the patch - there's not setup program!
the patch is a cab, just copy it to your device and tap to run... after it installs it will prompt you to restart.
A bit more help
Please can someone give me step by step instructions as to how I can install this program. I unzip it and it goes into 2 files. I unzip the main program and copy that onto my mini s then run the setup. Soft reset and copy the zipped patch file across and run it, it installs and I do a soft reset.
Nothing is appearing on the screen.
What am I doing wrong?
All sorted
After many various atempts it's all sorted. Brilliant program.
Just got my new Orange M3100 (Tytn) and I'm having problems with trying to forward incoming calls to another number. I have to divert and cancel divert often during the the working day and could do with a short cut to the settings call forwarding page. I don't seem to be able to make one... Could anyone advise...
Also trying to do similar with Bluetooth settings as I swap my BTheadset between phones just as frequently. I have found a link on this site to a utility to do that but not had chance to try it yet...
Can I just make a shortcut to that as well ??
Apart from that it appears a excellent device, running Tomtom etc without any problems....
Thanks in advance Phil
All the ways I tried to create such a shortcut do not work, because it requires an USSD "call". I asked WM5NewMenu author to implement USSD handling, will see...
For now the best solution I've found is to assigh speed dial keys in the dialer to USSD sequencies to divert and cancel diverts. It's OK for a while because speed dial keys can be easily accessed with one hand only (green phone button, then arrow left or down).
EDIT: In case you don't know USSD sequences... You'd better consult your operator to be sure. For me:
Divert all calls: **21*number_to_divert_to#
Cancel divert of all calls: ##21#
There are also codes for conditional diverting, of course.
Hi Phil,
What Lurker0 has mentioned is a good idea. You can save those strings as a number in a contact and maybe assign a speed dial or voice tag to that contact for speed? I guess one contact to enable and another to disable. The commands Lurker0 mentions are standard over all networks.
I'm not sure if there are ways to send AT commands to the modem in the TyTN (M3100) but it is another possible way to do it if someone knows how, if not then it might be useful info to someone else.
The AT command you need to send is AT+CCFC=1,1,<number>,128,1,,, this is the number in local format (no +44) like 07968xxxxxx to enable and AT+CCFC=1,0 to disable.
Gavin.
Phonealarm may be a simpler solution as I think u can add a forward number within a profile so just switching profile from the Today screen (phonealarm skin) would do the trick...
www.pocketmax.net
I've not had any dealing with the ATM commands so to be honest I wouldn't know were to start. I've just tried to install Phone alarm in my Orange SVP
M3100 but after asking me if I need and extra language the software just locks up.. Soft restart then required....
I managed to find the directory that it was installed in, the setup prog is there but I can't find the executable file, I guess that it has not got that far !!!!
Any help please...Phil
I'd suggest to try USSD codes as the easiest and 100% working solution.
Tried the ussd numbers in the contacts list.... works very well both divert and cancel divert... Just need to setup the speed dial now, were is that manual !!
Thanks again.
Phil-w
Hi Phil,
Go into the phone skin (green button) > Menu > Speed Dial...
That's you...
Gav.
Speed Dial is also at "green phone button" then arrow left, or arrow down, or wheel down. So one hand operation is possible.
Many thanks to you both... Nice to find helpfull people on here... Phil

Phil,
I do the same and installed the O2Plus (and patch) software which tweaks the today screen and gives direct access to mutiple profiles for different forwarding options - works really slickly.
Check this forum for the .cab files
Hope that helps.

i tried putting the codes in a speed dial but Tytn unhelpfully said i had to enter the sequences in from the phone pad directly. all i did was put the **21*<no># in as a speed dial. did i miss something somewhere?
If you are rooted, start a shortcut to "Activities". Scroll down to "Phone", expand that, then scroll down to "Call forwarding". Select! Easy peasy.
Guys,
I've posted this before but nobody has helped me yet.
Basically put I have a couple of contacts for which I have more than one contact number (home, Mobile etc..)
Anyway, when i receive a call from one of these contacts, the name is not resolved, the picture is not shown and the custom ringtone I have chosen (all by vanilla stock rom means) does not ring!!
I have seen this happen with "Exact" matches to contacts in my Contacts list and also if I have entered the number as "+447760....." instead of using the default "07760...." prefix for UK mobile numbers (as I'm abroad a lot so need to use that to dial them) it also refuses to recognise that they are in fact the same number - something my Artemis did without an issue.
Please help me resolve this - it's ruining my HD experience!
Thanks
21 views and no replies - come on guys please - going on a trip tomorrow and I need this to be sorted if poss - doing my head in!!
I had exactly the same problem on my X1, which I have now sold so I could get a HD. I was on o2 uk using itje's 5.061 rom. What network are you on and which rom and what software have you installed? maybe something we both installed is causing the problem
Right, I'm on a stock rom on an unbranded Touch HHD on the Vodafone network. Programs I've installed are as follows:
Changscreen,
HDTweak
Advanced Config
S K Tools
Battlog
Fingerkeyboard
Resco file Explorer
Very strange - it might have happened since I restored a backup but I doubt it.
Try reducing Phone>Call ID match number in Advanced Config.
I have similar problem... Just installed dutty 3.0X and when i sinchronized all my contacts become duplicated, so i deleted manual only the first ones. And now when someone from the contacts is ringing i dont get picture or his name and I am sure that i have the same number in the contact list. Odd
Anyone have any other ideas about this? Still causing me some considerable pain - I seem to recall it started after I started to reconcile the outlook contacts with my PC - this may have caused a different contact ID (or something?)
same problem and no solutoin... :-(
i managed to fix this by reassigning the phone numbers to the contacts page. It seems to occur when you use 3rd party contact management apps before you have assigned numbers.
Works fine now
mslookout inserts spaces into phone number, and prolly phone cannot recognise incoming number having spaces in phonebook?
I also cant fix it by changing CallIDMatch in the registry. It's bizarre as I have 2 contacts in my favourites: both are now set to No's starting with '0' yet when one texts me, their name shows and when the other does, their number shows. hard and soft resets have also failed to resolve this, HTC helpdesk no use at all, also logged with Windows helpdesk in case it is a microsoft, not htc, problem.
Am keen for other things to try, open to suggestions....
Am disappinted and amazed that what is otherwise a great phone, can't do what cheap cr*ppy phones, can , ie show the name of the person calling or texting.
Have you tried using Advanced Config and increasing Call ID match to 9 or 10?
No caller name when receiving Incoming Call
This may be an old thread, but sometimes the newer ROMs also have the same problem.
This happened to me after updating my from from WM 6.1 to WEH 6.5.3. So, I am updating this thread on how I resolved my problem.
Step 1. Edit the Registry and change the CallIDMatch value to 7 (the original value was 10).
Code:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:00000007
Step 2. Soft Reset (power off and restart)
Before I did this, I needed to copy my contacts from SIM to the Outlook Contacts list, so in my Contacts list, I have "double view" of both lists on the same screen - frustrating.
After this change of the Registry key value, I erased all my contacts from the Outlook Contacts list (use the Hide Sim Contacts function) because I prefer to have my default contacts to be from the SIM card instead of the Outlook Contacts. This way, I can be assured that all newer contacts will be stored on the SIM card and I do not have to worry about losing contacts if I change phones.
