Hi all,
Do you guys know if there's any option to simply call the sender of an sms without adding him or her to the contacts first?
It's amaizing how MS just left some of the most basic phone features out of this stuff.
Thanks
Andrew
when you have the notification in view... bottom-right, Menu > Call Sender
Does that not appear for you?
ah I haven't seen that. i just saw that there was no way to call the sender when i go to my old sms's.
thanks though
Ahh okay.. yes, it's stupid that they didn't add that to any menu... however:
1. select the message
2. hit the green (talk) phone button
phone app with the phone number of the SMS (if it was sent along) should appear
3. hit the green phone button again
should dial
Thanks!!!

In Regedit, create a new key' Settings' so that it looks like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]:
Create a new string value under 'Settings':
"SMSNoSentMsg"
Value: 1
tried that still got the bubble.. does that work for the xdaII?
Do you guys means this:
Go to Start/Setting/Sound and Notifications/Notifications
Select SMS:New SMS Message (point 1)
Uncheck Display Message on Screen
Why on earth do you want to disable the notification bubble? I reckon it a highly appreciated icon

That's for incoming SMS. The one I posted deals with the SMS notification bubble that appears after a message has been sent.

Yes, it's specifically for the XDAII cos there's no notification bubble for the XDAI. You probably entered it wrongly.

i appreciate the notification too. But preferences are individual, I know there would be some out there who'd prefer not to see the bubble after sending an SMS.
it is importent issue, yes I do not want my I-Mate to power on when I receive a SMS. How can I do that. why because I got a lot and want to save power and the most importent is when the I-Mate in pocket and off than it is powered on by SMS some time I-Mate calls others while it is in my pocket.

I remember that someone once posted a message in this forum asking how to disable the SMS Sent notification. His problem was that he was sending an SMS message to a very large number of recipients and the continuous stream of SMS Sent notifications was very annoying. I also experienced the same problem when I changed my phone number and notified via SMS everyone in my contacts list. The barrage of beeps and SMS Sent notifications that followed was really annoying. It would have been good to disable the notification at least temporarily.
NOTE TO EVERYONE: We're talking about the SMS Sent notification, not the SMS Received notification.
Why I can't see any Settings in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]?
Try to create that "Settings" key ... then create the SMSNoSentMsg string...
I just tried this and it DOES work...
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Inbox\Settings]
The only thing to maybe note is SMSNoSentMsg is a numeric value, not a string value like the above says.

Well, in that case there' a way to control this "inconvenience" by a registry trick..
\HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\
Give a value of "35" to the DWORD string "WakeupPowerOff".
This controls the # of seconds following a non-user input event wakeup such as an alarm, the # of seconds without user input activity before the system suspends. But mind you to keep it close to 30 secs because of Alarm settings otherwise you screw up the alarm power on and off which is not appropriate 8)

My question is:
Will the SMS-Notfication sound still display or not? I want to hear it, but i don't want the screen to power on when receiving an sms.

After when you have edited the registry. You can modify the display, sound and duration of red LED from the Sound & Notifications thru the Control Panel..
Any luck... :?:
I think it works! Although its stupid to post yourself, i tried - and there you go! If you get an sms, the notification Is still there, but the bubble only pops up, if you tick the notification icon. That's just what i wanted.

on my imate JAM you can have (talking about SMS IN) this even without the registry edit. it is in settings sounds & notifications just untick display on screen message and you will only get the envelope when an sms comes in.... tapping the envelope will show you the message. As for the SMS SENT reg edit I will be trying it now... I'll report how it works out too.
Ok I tried this out (SMSNoSentMsg) and it works for me
SMSNoSentMsg

How to save contact number from a SMS message?
In Nokia Phone, just choose a command from the Options that says "save details".... How to do this in O2? Any third party program?
Hi emil,
wad i do is,
1. press the green call button after reading your msg. It automatically transfers the number to your dialer.
2. Call and hangup immediatly before they can connect the call.
3. Open the call list, Number you just dialled will be present.
4. Right click on the number and there should be an option of save to contacts.
5. Type in neccessary details for your contacts and wala !!
hope it helped a bit..
thanks man but thats too cruel...unlike nokia hehehehe fast moving world requires fast moving gadgets....
I once have a software that does that but i forgot it....
In D2 there are 2 different forms of call history representations:
1. Simple Call History. You get there from home screen, tapping on Call History line. You get 3 buttons below, Call History (with options to show all, missed, outgoing,received using submenu), All Contacts, Favorites.
2. Advanced Call History. You get there when there is missed call, and you click on notify bar, then in notification manager - on "you have X missed calls" line.
In this list you see 4 buttons below, allowing quick filtering (missed,outgoing,received, all).
Simple or Advanced are mine inventions, I have to do something to tell them apart ...
So the question is: how can I change behavior of Call History line on home screen, so it will open Advanced Call History (which is much easier to use), instead of Simple Call History ?

Thats really something I would like to have too!
I agree, it would be great to change this.
Your "simple" call history is the TF3D version, whereas "advanced" is the standard WM6 version. Unfortunately, I haven't found any way to turn off only selected parts of the TF3D interface. Must be in the registry somewhere. Maybe someone out there has more ideas?

Yup, I like the "advanced" one also better. Any progress in this topic?
Me too, anyone?
Looks like not too many people are interested in this!
Just discovered something interesting.
During a call, bring up the dialer keypad on the screen (by pressing the button). Now, if you swipe your finger across the blank white space to the left, you'll bring up the WM6 style quick dial list, and if you swipe to the right you'll bring up the WM6 style call history.
Not sure why this works, but it does. Doesn't help much with our initial query though!
For what it's worth, I'm using the Dusk dialer.
Um... found a way of getting the other "advanced" call history to come up... by mistake, and it is a little convoluted! I have SK tools installed and in SK tools set a shortcut up for the "Close Tasks" feature, I then set my call button to access the Close Tasks shortcut, using the "buttons" option under the standard rom settings tab. Now when i use that shortcut by pressing and holding the call button, it closes all the tasks then jumps to the elusive "advanced" missed calls screen!
Odd, not a fix for everyone as it means closing all your other software to open the screen but thought it may be of interest!

One of the most annoying "features" in almost every ROM I tried (and I tried a lot!) is that if you are in Manila's SMS or e-mail tab and press the call button (in order to open the dialer).. then the dialer will automatically dial the displayed e-mail or SMS sender's number.
Does anybody know how can this be disabled ?
Bump!
I start feeling that I'm really special - am I the only one having a problem with this ?
I have the same problem. And it is soo frustrating, i press the phone button and immediately have to press the end call button. Then type in the number i want to ring.
Someone notice this thread! It is probably an easy problem to fix for you experts...please help:d
Bump!
I would appreciate the solution as well.
Bump!
This problem is driving me nuts....I keep ringing the wrong people by mistake
Dear friends,
I've got the X2 for 1 month, and updated to MR2 as soon as i got the phone. Been happy with the quicker response, and rarely freeze. But after upgrade i found flaws that make me dissapointed :
1. In the middle of conversation, usually i have shortcut to Notes, so i can make notes while talking. Now the button is gone, replaced by much less useful dialpad. More strange, now there are 2 identical "end call" button : one is big , in the center of panel, one is small at the bottom of the screen. This is ridiculous. The only way i can get to Notes is to press Windows logo, go to main menu, scroll to Notes and press the icon. Thats way too long.
2. In the contact menu, i can only register 1 mobile number, 2 work numbers and 2 home numbers. So if the contact has 2 mobile number, only 1 can be assigned as Mobile Number, the other must go to Work or Home. The problem : if we open the contact, the only option to send SMS is to Mobile Number, not from work or home, despite it is really a cellular number. Apparently the software think the Work and Home number as a landline number. This is stupid. The only way to send SMS to work/home number is go to message menu, and press "add recipient", and so on. Why can't they make it from contact menu??
3. If i got a calling from unknown number (not from a Contact), usually i want to save the new number as a new contact or add to exsting contact. But i cannot do the second thing. I go to call history, choose the number, press the menu key, and all i get is "add to contacts", and it only allow me to save the number as new contact, but cannot add to existing contact. very annoying! i have to write it down in the paper, just like old days
I don't know if the above flaws happen because of the upgrade, or this is the new Windows 6.5.3 habit?? My old Ipaq 912 with Windows 6.1 can do all the above mentioned.
I feel very dissapointed...hope you guys can give me feedback?
Thanks for reading
1. Notes when calling is not in the menu anymore, I'm not sure if it's every WM 6.5.3 device. You have to go through main menu.
2. Adding contact works great when you enable the prompt asking you to add the number to your contacts after finishing conversation. In this case you're able to also add it to existing one.
3. Every WM, also 6.1 supports only 1 mobile number.
However when you create sms from your messaging, you can send the sms to ANY number you want.
Thanks - and tips for LED problem
Thanks, appreciate your input. I have enabled the option to add number after conversation.
I personally think the Notes in calling mode, very useful. I have seen it in every new WM phones, including HTC and Samsung. Its pity they removed it on X2.
One more thing, about LED notification problem (which dont work when the phone enter standby mode /black screen), and the phone will not wake up when received SMS. I have simple solution, but there are sacrifices to made. here's how :
1. Disable the Auto Lock
2. In the backlight & power management menu, in the field "turn off backlight after....", fill 30 seconds or 1 minute, to save battery
in the field "turn off screen if not used for..." choose "never"
3. Dont' forget to set the illumination for SMS/MMS received as "no limit"; in the "sound and notification" menu.
4. (optional) Enable auto adjust backlight in the backlight & power management
Basically, we prebvent the phone to enter standy mode at all. This will reduce the battery life about 20%, but you will never miss a sms. Any sms will wake up the phone, the SMS sound will ring, the LED will light until you read the SMS.
Also, because the standby mode is connected to auto-lock, you cannot auto-lock the phone, that means you have to lock it manually everytime you finish use the phone. You can lock quicky by using SPB Shell, and create Lock shortcut in the front panel. Or in any mode, press "windows" logo on the left bottom, then you can see the lock button on the bottom screen.
Cheers!
Personally I've never had a problem with smses.
My previous OS never showed anything besides the icon and sound alert for sms. I never liked my sms appearing on the homescreen.
Current behaviour is that it plays a sound and doesn't wake the device up. So it doesn't activate in the pocket.
You just wake the device and see the sms icon anyway so missing sms is not such a case.
If you set the sms sound as a quite short file, it will always play a sound.
At least it does in my case.
