If you've got the latest update of WAD, there is an option to do this ; make a new short-cut, the short-cut is the phone-number, use whatever icon you like, then tap the "short-cut is a phonenumber" and bingo :wink:

thanks a lot, my version (1.0.0.0) doesn't support this feature...i'll try with 1.0.0.5 as soon as possible :O)

If you can't get the latest version, VJPhoneTools will do this for you.

Turn on GPRS from Menu Bar, Now You Can

After being ticked off about not being able to turn on GPRS like we could on WM2003, you know tap on the "G" and select turn on GPRS or something like that. I have since been on a restless pursuit to find a simple and small program to take care of this...Well my search has ended, here is that small (4.5kb) program. Just copy to programs and create a shortcut to the today screen or if using wisebar even better..Once their just tap (make sure phone is on). It will connect to GPRS and also tell you your IP Address....Enjoy
"VJVolubilis -gprson" might provide an alternative with some other functionality thrown in as well.

Any feedback...working well for everyone?????
Perfect!!!!!
Just what I needed! And easy to get working!
Thanks man!

I assigned the voice recorder hardware button as GPRS.exe by PQz2 (http://www.nicque.com/PQz/).
It's great convinience!
Thank you!
When you say "Programs", which folder do you mean? Can you please specify the path. There are 2 "Programs" folder.
If you want it to show up with all your regular programs then place it in
windows/start menu/programs. Otherwise you can put it anywhere if you
are using Wisebar or a program like Ilauncher.
If I turn GPRS ON using this program, how do I turn it OFF?
you can turn it off via comm manager or just tap the connected icon in the menu bar and then tap disconnect. nothing changes you just turn off like always....
@cktlcmd
you also can switch off the gprs connection by pressing the red telephon key for about 3 seconds.
Wolfgang
VJVolublis -grpsoff or -gprstoggle can also do that. Although pressing red is faster

Perfect, thank you. This is exactly what I was looking for, for use with PocketPuTTY. I especially like the fact that it tells you your new IP.

Speeddial and Call History Icons on Today Screen

Okay, I've been reluctant to post this, but I've search the forums and I've search Google, etc, etc. and can't find the answer... What I want to do is add two icons on my Today screen that go to my Call History and my Speed Dial. I'm using iLaunch and can pretty much create an icon to anything, but for the life of me I can't figure out the link/path to Call History or Speed Dial. I'm pretty sure it possible bacuse it's right there as a button on my dialpad. Can anyone tell me the link or how to create a link to those two applets?
Thanks!
Oh, I have a 8525 running Black 2.0

Download the attached file, unZIP it, copy CallHistory.exe to your phone, and you will have CallHistory. I dont know the solution for Speed Dial. sorry.
Thanks! Worked like a charm. Now if I could only find the Speed Dial app....

can you guys please post a Screen Image?
I just want to see if it's what I'm looking for
I currently don't have a screen-print app on my device to get you the actual image of my Today screen, but this image is similar to the look of mine with the larger icons pointing to various applications/shortcuts. The Call History and Speed Dial screens are the same as you get to by going to the Dailpad and clicking on the History and Speed Dial buttons.
I find myself using the Call History and Speed Dial more than my Contacts or manual dialing so I wanted access to those two options with one click rather than going through the dial pad or fumbling around with the bottom jog pad.
Try

or I made myself a small cab that I can send u with one the apps above (speedialer) to install to left soft key straight.

Why should you have a piece of software running for his.
Press the "green" button and directional pad "right" and you will have the calle history
Press the "green" button and directional pad "left" and you will have the speed dial list

Call Receive Pop-Up Window

Hi mates,
Is it possible to change the way the pop up window looks when someone is calling you? Maybe Bigger Fonts, or Contact Image?
You can add image to a contact in regular WM5 or 6.
If you want something different, use Photo Contacts Pro.

Dude thanks for the answer I knew I can add image, what I asked was if the Image could be Bigger
I think, check out the Eten skin hacks. Some of those allow you to hack the incoming call popup IIRC.

how to disable the auto dailing when touching the contacts in the dail pad?

how to disable the auto dailing when touching the contact in the dail pad? Is it possible to display the contact details like I-phone does? When using the prevous Diamond's netvigation pad, it is possible to open the contact details. But how can it works for HD with no direction pad? Please help, very inconvenient when choosing the contact with multiple phone number. HELP!!!
THAT is something that also really annoys me.
i would love an option to turn that off!
I am using Pocket CM and it doesn't has that problem.
1 click on the contact to show detail and another click to choose which number you want to dial.
does it replace the standard phonepad app?
what we mean is when you press the dial button - then the dialpad and the call history appears.
clicking on a contact in the list leads to dialing the number.
in the normal wm contact app the klick leads to the contact like we know and want it.

I completly agree, I have been seaching for a solution..
didnt find a registry key that could solve that
this would be a nice feature to find
actually you have to slide the contact name to choose the phone number you dial, or the action you launch.
i agree this is the most annoying thinh in hd
I think you are talking about the Phone interface (Refer to User Manual P.50 Using Phone Features), when you short-list the contact you would like to select, on Point 4 of the Manual, it instructs you to
To call a different phone number
associated with the contact, select
the contact, then tap Menu >
Open Contact.
Instead, you can just simple "tap" on the right hand of the contact, it will pop up the contact detail, then you can select (tab on the associated number) to dail
Hope this can help.

One way that I have tried is to change the phone dial skin to standard windows mobile. If you install the htc tweak written about in this forum you can easily change phone skins. The standard phone skin does not dial the phone when you tap the contact but gives you a list of phones for that contact. It does mean however that you will have another look for your phone dial.

I'm fine w/ just sliding, thanks a lot! Dunno why I didn't think of it lol...
This is also something that bugs me but not only that.
I drive to work by bycicle. When I do, I have my HD in my pocket, playing radio.
The HTC headset has 2 buttons embedded of which 1 auto dials the last number when pressed. Unfortunatly when your wearing a headset, have a laptop bag around your shoulder and during these Winter times are wearing sturdy coat, the button gets pushed accidentaly all the time.
Disabling that function would be brilliant too.

All I know is that I found it as an option in the HD Tweak under the heading 1.8 Phone Pad Style. There are two options HD (Default) and Windows Mobile Standard.

Right thanks. I was merely referring to your use of PocketCM. Obviously some things are tiny using the standard included theme.
So my question was, aside from any dialing issues, I just wanted to ask real quick where you got a WVGA theme if you did (anyone know of one?)
Thanks.

i finally switched to the classic windows mobile phonepad. since i dont videocall anybody that is ok for me.
unfortunately the list doesnt support sliding with the finger for browsing the entries. and the entries are a bit small

if you just slide your finger across a certain contact, it will not call directly that contact, but change the phone number selected, if more numbers available, or switch to send text message etc.
I also discovederd that by accident, but its working and enough to solve this most annoying problem.
it seems there is no solution to solve it. Anybody have further suggestion. Please help for the frequent user of the smart dailing. Or if we could change the registry of the phone. Help!

Remove Phone canvas popup

Hi people,
I have a problem with the phone canvas slider (not tachi phone canvas) with a WM6.5 (my own rom cooked)
When an incoming call happen, an incall popup appears few seconds and after the slider appears. I want to disable this pop up but how ?
I have a second problem : When lockscreen is activated, new sms are not notified (by a ring or vibrate) until the screen is turning on. And when an incoming call happen, it waste some seconds before the phone is ringing, how to short this delay ?
Thanks for your help and sorry for my english.
as far as i know HTC phone canvas doesn't work with WM6.5 for now because of that popup/lock screen issue. Best option for now is use the default dialer with a nice skin
personally i like the ryon dialer here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=508920
OR just don't lock your phone and use standby instead that way you should be able to use the HTC phone canvas + Slide to unlock
as for text messaging and notifications i have same issue where messages and notifications don't make any noise/vibrate until screen is turned on (usually phone is in standby and locked state)
so +1 if someone has a fix for this
thanks averma
For lockscreen, I removed the animation (the slide to unlock) with the cpr files. Now, it's like on WM6.1 with the WinMo locker but it works well with calls or sms.
For the dialer, I finded how to fix the issue when we scroll contacts in the dialer but this popup stay there.
I tried the tachi phone canvas but this popup appears just one time, quickly.
try this cab..i got it from ppc geeks..so no thanks to me just passing it along. Its seeming to work for most people though. I had the problem with a custom dialer, and the original WM incoming call notification bubble pops up. Worked for me...
Thanks tf2d I'll try that and I tell you if it works
it seems to work. Thank you very much tf2d and thanks to calkulin to find this reg tweak.
Hey, this cab should be on all 6.5 roms it's working with tachi dialer, and the ring delay seems to be better too;
bye bye popup
Thks Calculin, Averma and Faouzy to ask question
Yes ric69, I've spend so many times to find out the solution and it's only two reg entries.
Thanks again to all
Any word on how to fix the sms + notifications problem in the 6.5 lockscreen (other than using a different lock screen)?
ps thanks for cab and info on tachi dialer, works great
indeed thanks to caulkin..and your welcome
