When I use the built-in search engine under Program Menu, to find contacts, it's very very slow 15-30sec. I didn't experience this with all my previous O2. But when I use pocket informant Search Engine to find contacts, it's very very fast in a matter one sec or two. Is it only me or everyone else experiences the same thing?

I tried a search on the forums here and didn't find anything. Also an extensive Google search with no results, so I don't have that great of an outlook here.
Does anyone know of a program to either:
Add a Morse code input to the Windows Mobile OS (preferred)
Something to let me write SMS messages using Morse code (ala http://laivakoira.typepad.com/blog/2005/05/morse_texter.html)
The idea would be to allow me to send SMS messages (and possibly do other text-related tasks) on my Wizard using one hand and one or more of the buttons on the front. The other program linked above is basically exactly what I would want, but it's for Symbian phones.
From what I know of the .NET compact framework, it shouldn't be too hard to hack up a similar program for Wizards. So I can always give it a go if no one knows of an existing one.
I've looked for such a program extensively myself and haven't found anything so far.
Hi all,
After I did the BS Hack I installed Caller_ID_RC13.cab. Since I'm not looking for anything fancy I figure I might as well go with the free Photo Contact program that comes with the device (in Ext_ROM).
But recently I found that Photo Contact has conflict with PhoneAlarm (which I use, and love, and is definitely not going to stop using) ... so I've been looking for an alternative program for Photo Contact.
All I'm looking for, is just a program that'll display photo's associated with contacts when I have an incoming call. If I can also assign special ring tones to certain contacts, great, but that's not even a must.
What do you guys use and suggest?
Speed and stability of the program is more important than fancy apperance ...
BTW, is there any way to remove the Photo Contact program without doing a hardreset?
Thanks,
(and BBTW, as good as PhoneAlarm is, it sure seems to have conflict with a lot of programs)
I use PhotoContacts Pro - aside from assigning photos to each contact, ring tones can be assigned to groups and contacts also.
The only way to uninstall the MS photocontacts program is to open the cab file using WinCE Cab Manager, look what files and registry entries are involved and manually delete them from your device.
Thanks. I tried the PhotoContact Pro and I like it ... it is a LOT better than the freebie photo contact program ...
Now, does it have any software conflict with any other program that you know of?
inesoft address book is better in my opinion. much lighter n faster than photocontact pro

I have no problems with PhotoContacts Pro. It's a bit slow to load at startup (after soft resetting) but I hardly have to soft reset my device. The following are loaded in Storage; WorldMate Pro, PhotoContacts Pro, Resco Suite, SK Tools, SPB Pocket Plus, TT6, and Pocket Informant, plus contact photos, rings, and temporary internet files. TT6 West EU + USA + Canada maps are in a 2GB SD card. Main memory contains only Windows.
Does anyone know if there is a reg hack for selecting contacts with no phone numbers from the smart dialer in WM6. I would be totally happy with the search feature if I could search all of my contacts. I use my contacts as a means of organizing lots of information and many entries do not have phone numbers and are therefore not searchable via this interface.
Does anyone know where in the registry this is possible or if it is even possible to do? This would be the fastest most effective way to select a contact if we could correct this issue.

Use EZDial by MESoftware.

Just tried it and ezdialer does NOT find contacts with no phone numbers. I currently use pocketCM and it works quite well but still lacking some features that I require. Ideally the reg hack if possible would solve all issues until pocketCM is fully functional.
You guys are my last hope before I update my phone and give this one to my sister. I am still searching for a the reg hack that will enable me to use the smart dialer to view contacts that have no phone #'s. Anyone
Blackberrys hotlink phone numbers, email addresses, and url's automatically out of the box. MarkNDial and TreoSelectText do this on POS but you need to select the text first. I can't find anything to do this on WM. Does it exist?
For those of you not familiar with MarkNDial for the Palm OS, it allows you to highlight a phone number (in a task for a calendar appointment) and dial it directly.
Does anyone know of a similar app for WM (expecially one that works in Notes)? Any help would be appreciated.
What is needed needs to be as simple as a click or 2. Selecting items is too much against my Treocentric ease of use. On Blackberrys it auto recognizes phone numbers, email, and url's in its notepad and other apps out of the box. Scroll to an item, click it, and it asks if you want to do the selected thing. One more click executes the instruction. Beautiful it its simplicity.
I have hundreds of numbers in notes I started in my Blackberry days for contacts I use infrequently so as to not clutter up my Outlook contacts, then I carried them over to my 700wx and found out that this functionality was sorely missing (not a big surprise for WM, but where are the third parties here). I am now a WM/Treo convert and am longing for the 800w.
The pending arrival of the 800w has renewed my interest in perfecting my Treo device and I would love to see this super efficient function added to WM to make the 800w even more useable then it will already be. Of course your device may vary but this would be a boon to all WM devices.
So is there anything out there like this or anyone to write it? I would gladly pay for a program or a script to fix this WM annoyance.
Great Solution
Hannip over at treocentral.com wrote and/or modified a MortScript to perfrom this function from a mapped button. In totally works, and does even more!!!
In summary:
MultiSwitch6 checks what app is running in the foreground and does the following.
1) If mail app - open the folders (fix for a major non-one handed annoyance).
2) If calendar - find phone numbers and prompt to call.
3) If notes - prompt to call the phone number where the cursor is.
4) Else run Pocket Internet Explorer or modify for app of choice.
Follow the thread and get the MortScript here (note: latest script is around post #11):

Hey everyone.
I've been using WM since the XDA2 then moved to a dopod 838 pro and am now using the Touch Diamond. The one thing I've never been able to do and really could use is the ability to call a number entry in the notes of a calendar entry.
I've done a search on the forums but I can't locate anything regarding it.
I tend to use my calendar for all of my appointments but if I have to call someone with the phone number stored in the notes of the calendar entry, I have to physically write the number down and then flick to the dialer to make the call. And I've had to do that for years. Now that I've found you guys I have to ask...is there a way around this?
Thanks in advance for any help you can throw my way and a Big thanks to all the devs here making my Diamond the best PPC I've owned.
EDIT: I should explain what I'm asking for a little better. You know how a number comes up highlighted in a text message or notes and all you have to do is tap on the highlighted number and it launches the dialer? That's what I really need in the notes of a calendar appointment.
i also need that.
and i could swar that this worked already in earlier versions
Barring any other solutions, you could copy and paste the number into the dialer, instead of having to write it down. I doubt there are any tweaks to make it a clickable link.
Thanks...the copy and paste option is better than nothing. I'd actually never thought to use it after all these years.
Still, a clickable link in the notes would be ideal. I'm sure if I ask M$ nicely, they'll be more than happy to add it to the next version of WM.
