Slide out keyboard

You know how we have to press the button with the circle on it as a kind of "shift" key to get numbers, etc? Is there any way of "locking" this on - at the minute if I want to type, say, a phone number I have to either a) press this key before every number or b) try hold it in, which makes typing awkward.
Cheers

Press the circle key twice to toggle symbols/numbers on and twice again to turn it off again...

D'oh! Thank you!

Keeping Onscreen Phone Keypad Open (Non-Collapsed) - HTC Mogul

I have an HTC Mogul with the latest officially released ROM (WM 6.0). Whenever I finish a phone call, the onscreen phone keypad "collapses"; I then have to hit the left hardware button (whose function now reads "Keypad") to cause the entire, regular keypad (with all 10 buttons, *, #, etc.) to display again.
Is there a registry setting that will prevent the onscreen phone keypad from ever "collapsing" in the first place?
Thanks.

I'd also like to know if this is possible.

I also get annoyed when I call voicemail or some other automated number and have to take the phone away from my head to press the "show keypad" button... I would rather have it stay up...

same here!!!!
It's a pain to have to look at the phone screen and press SHOW KEYPAD each time I call in the voicemail or a company with a menu..... I'd really like if someone could tell me how to get the keypad to stay on the screen after we press the SEND key by default....
thanks!

SMS - how to call back sender?

So I did a little searching and couldn't find my answer. This should be an easy one for you guys.
I am new to Windows Mobile and when I receive an SMS from someone whose number I don't have stored it shows up in my conversation window with just the senders number.
example:
12131234567
"how r u?"
Now when I click the number to call the person back it won't let me. It says the number is not in your contacts, would you like to add it?
Here is the deal. What if I don't want to add it, I just want to call the sender to find out who the hell they are first. Can this be done? If so, how?

Highlight the number with the dpad and hit the call hard button?

that method does not work on my english x1i.
when i do that: highlight the number then hit the call button, when i hit the call button it just opens up the dialer and shows me the last call that i made.

You have to highlight it with dpad, not with touch screen. It is working without any problem on my UK X1.

thanks, wow. didn't know there was a difference between highlighting with touch vs with the d pad, but obviously so. thanks, that one was killing me though i still think its rather inconvenient to do it. i wish you could just tap the number and it gives you options with what to do with the number instead of having you do different actions to execute different tasks.

On my X1i Uk generic...
From the in-box just highlight(select) the message from the list with the D-Pad. If you use the touchscreen, the problem it will open it!!!
Then just hit the call button. it will open a window to verify number to dial and at the bottom of the screen it has a "Call " or "menu" soft button ....

To call even faster you can just use call button on unopend sms (for ex. you can read it, then close it fast with ok button and next hit call button to call this person).

Dialer issues - by design, bug or only me?

Hi everyone,
I recently traded my HTC Touch dual for Leo, and so far I'm pretty impresed, and I really really like it. I've had it three days and charged it three or four times already, because I can't stop playing with that phone.
However, today I noticed the first thing that annoyed me, and it did so pretty instantly.
I was playing around in Sounds and notifications, and I enabled the hardware button click sound, (didn't enable the screen tapping sound), and noticed that most of the time the dialer would immediatly dial the last dialled number upon key press, the same effect as pressing the hardware pickup button twice very fast. After disabling the hardware button sounds, the issue was resolved, so I don't worry to much about it, but I'm curious if anyone can replicate this behaviour on his/hers HD2...
During all this playing with the dialer and accidently dialing numbers I noticed how I can't just select a number in the dialer, it automatically redials from my call list. So I never actually have to press that green "Talk" button, the call I select is just immediatly dialed. This is very annoying, als the context menu is only useful for the last call (or the first number on the list).
The dialer also 'quits to desktop' immediatly when I hang up by tapping the red end call button. No call summary? No need to close the dialer?
I was wondering abour your dialer behaviour: does is dial out on screen tap, or does it just select the number? How about ending calls?

Yes, I hate the dialler app. I only use it for dialling fresh numbers not in my contacts list, or my voicemail (press and hold #1#), otherwise I use the contacts app. The dialler does dial out on a screen tap and quitting the call returns me to the home screen.

So the "add new numbers to contacts after the call"-function doesn't work either? I assume it's a bug? I run v.1.48 , does the 1.43 ROM behave the same way? I didn't notice...
Thnx
Lukas

*bump*
Anyone running 1.43 ROM; is this behaviour same as on 1.48?

Hey guys,
I'm gonna bump it one more time.
Can someone with 1.43 take the 10 seconds it takes to check if they can select a call in the dialer without immediatly dialing it? If it's the same as on 1.48 I won't have to flash back to it and you'll save few hours of my time, which I would greatly appreciate.
Thnx again.
Lukas

I'm not sure what your on about, but if you mean when you press the hardware call button and the dialed list appears, if you want to open the caller you press the icon on the right hand side of the screen next to the callers/name number.
Tapping the name/number calls them.
This has always been the case in all ROM's not just Leo

I've had an HTC Touch Dual, and tapping the calls opened call history for that number, with left softkey being 'call'. Pressing the call hardware button would dial out as well.
Also, after pressing 'end call' my touch would display a call summary (call duration) and wouldn't quit to desktop immedietly so I had the time to dial another number as wel.
Thnx for answering tho... I appreciate it.
Grtz
Lukas

It's by design.

You can tap the card icon instead of the number and it will open the card where you can tap the number you want to dial. I think it was done this way by design. No problems for me, save me a few taps for a call and when I end it.

Lukass,
No such issue on 1.48 WWE.
However, the tapping sound disappears after the 1st press of the green button. It reappears after pressing a different button though.

"Call" hard button doesn't show dialpad

Hey, when i press on call button, call log pops-up. I want dialpad to show first because now i have to manually select it on top. How could i do that?
Thanks
