Summary of the Universal phone functionality bugs/problems

Hello everybody - I am currently testing the Universal with the 1.11.45 wwe system, and I would appreciate any confirmation that what I have found still exists in the 1.13 system, as I am not sure if I should upgrade immediately or not.
- “contact” soft key is on the RIGHT when desktop is visible, on the LEFT in phone application and in the MIDDLE button during the phone call. JUST Imagine somebody in the car who wants to make a phone call….. especially with MISSING REAL HARDWARE BUTTONS to assign the contacts to…
- In the phone application – last unanswered phone call is not displayed on the phone screen – you have to click HISTORY to see it – just the same problem in the car – somebody is calling you, you can not get out the device on time, so you press twice TINY TINY green button on the hinge, and …. You call the last number you have called before…not the last missed one
- Phone application just shuts itself of and Universal comes to the desktop screen WHY? (Imagine AGAIN in the car….)
- REALLY ugly TMobile skin, but the original blue skin has to low contrast….Again IN THE CAR…
- maybe I did not try hard enough but I can not obtain predictable results with the onscreen quickdial (not to mismatch with SPEED DIAL butto which Is OK, )– how to obtain the names starting with second or third letter from the key – I don’t know, and anyway it does not work if you have about 1500 contacts as I have
- check how SPEED DIAL it was done in the old handspring TREO phones – large buttons with the names on them in two columns rather than one list, with whole screen “pages” of 12 contacts each, for me much easier to use and navigate if you have more than one screen of numbers as in the car there is no chances for easy up and down navigation, what you have to do now with the numbered list.
- With all this missing hardware buttons what happened with the D-Pad functionality – in Blue Angel it was UP- History DOWN – speed dial … but in Universal nothing works ?????
- “during the call” screen with 6 soft buttons stays on when the phone call is already finished – again you do not find the soft buttons in the right places when you want to make next call
- When I got rid of the TM skin video call button is missing, I can not use UMTS yet as it is not available in Krakow, but it will be needed some time…
- No BT icon on the desktop – no chances for the quick verification of the proper connection between headset and the unit
- I have heard that voice dialing functionality does not work when the unit is closed (I always keep it open – screen on the top)
- There is no voice dialing available when the unit is protected by the password (but this is disputable)
Any other comments / bugs????

Some very valid points - I tell my buds that the JJ (in fact any XDA) is not good for driving frequent phone users. Here are a couple of fixes:
- Quickdial is pretty cool. Just type the name in T9 and matching entries will appear. Click the match you like then press dial. Forget trying this whilst driving tho...
- For speeddial, search this forum for VJDialer, and put links on your today screen any way you like using cLaunch of another plugin
- Search this forum for buzz's BT icon, AND his BT headset fix. However, you will then find that the BT issues are far deeper than you currently realise - the 2 devices just keep on losing connection.
- Voice dialing works perfectly as expected no matter how the phone is laid out - try it, it's DEFINITELY what u need for driving. Works well with BT too

Hello!
Many question on one post...
To open your magician, it will be difficult to open the bottom side where is the camera objective (written 1.3 Mega). I personally had problem with the HP in front of the phone (screen side) and many people said that was software problems.
I decided to fully open my magician. Has I said it was difficul to open the bottom side up the battery, I scratched a bit all the side to open it with a cutter or knife. When this part were away, take care of the camera and disconnect the flat cable to remove it. Also hard to remove the sides buttons but possible. I finaly reach the front HP and found that was one of the two pins of the HP that was (tordue: don't know this word in english).
So it is possible to fully open the magician...
Try a full screen keyboard for your sms.

Some minor inquiries

I have notice that when my bluetooth headset connected to my Dual, you only notice the headset logo only on dialing mode and not shown on the task bar... why is that?? How to show it there on the task bar??

Not searching the forums is just going to get you ignored!
Modify cube
My vario11 did the same with the headset when on both wm5 and wm6.

HELP phone answers the incoming call by himself at the first ring !!!

Hi there,
i didn't have this issue before but i have new sim card since a week and on vodaphone FR ( sfr) ...the thing is that when somebody calls me , at the first ring , the phone autoanswer to the call and i have no choice to speak !!!! if the phone is in my pocket, the time i take it , the phone has answered since a long time ...i don't know why it is like that .....
i have checked in the phone settings if i had had set the auto answer but no.
in HD tweak or Schaps3 , i did nothing like this .....
please help, it is more than annoying ......
another question: how to disabled the answering machine logo and notification displayed on screen when you have a new voice message ( i also have everytime "voicemail" displaying on the screen asking me to set the number)
thanks for help

i found the answer by enbaled the sleep function in hd tweak .....
so all is fine now ....but i still have the voicemail thing when a new voice message is waiting ...... if somebody knows .....

My phone always answers when I try to retrieve it from my pocket.
Very frustrating, any tips?

Maybe remap the keys? i didnt have a problem with this so far!
or use s2u2 to lock all buttons and use slide to answer feature.
this will sort out your problem besides its always a good thing to place your phone so the buttons face the bottom so when you pick it up you wont accidently press them.. make sence right?
cheers

Which version of s2u2 do you use I notice there are two on their web page - VGA or QVGA?

vga. it has inbuilt wvga support.

probably you have installed gyrator, which by default when you move your phone, it uses the g sensor to detect movement and answers your phone, go to the events of gyrator and disable the event

I had this too - thanks for pointing out that it was a behaviour of Gyrator.
How annoying! Turned it off now.

Bluetooth indication

Is it possible to make a small tool that shows a small indication at the taskbar if the Bluetooth is on or of?
I use the windows dialler pad because the ring delay is lower than the HTC dialler.
But than you will have no Bluetooth indication.
It would perfect if the indication is very small. I don’t need a icon because this will waste the small place of the task bar.
Just a blue dot like the white dot that appears when Gsen is active.
Have a nice day
Thomas
Sorry for my English. I tried my best

I'm very much in favour of it. Have the same problem!

Me too please.... I have requested this before, but no luck yet.... I now use a programme called "bluepower" which turns on the bluetooth whenever my diamond is being charged. So when I am in my car and my phone is in the cradle, I know bluetooth is on. I don't need an indicator in the taskbar as I KNOW it is active. Therefore I can stick to the windows dialer for the same reasons as you.

I found this after a very quick google. Tested and working fine on my Diamond.

I've also added the information to my WM dialer skin thread. )

Juhu, it`s works!!!
