Dont think anyone has noticed with the TyTN but HTC have re-enabled the feature to quickly access the call list and speed dial list. In the phone app click either Up or Right to access the call list; Down or Left for speed dials.
haha - good one ;-) ... first thing I noticed when I switched on the device; maybe because I came straight from the hw6515 where that's exactly how it works.
Martin
With smartskey (search for it)
in phone application by default
UP :Speed Dial
DOWN: Call History
LEFT : Messaging
RIGHT : Contacts
And if I remember right; also you can change the behaviour of the buttons
Hope this is what u r asking for :lol:
The reason i posted it was because when WM5 was first released this was one feature that was missing that was present on WM2003SE previously.
Dont use smartskey as i came from a BA not a wizard.

OOOPS
I did not notice the re-enabling thing :?
works with the wheel also.
This means one hand dialing really is possible.
Great find

what actually is accessed by wheel? recent calls or speed dial?
Does this function have an on/off setting somewhere. I know I had it before but now for some reason the d-pad won't access call list...? Not sure what happened.
I did realise since I also came directly from a blue angel. I didn't know that it works with the wheel too.
That's great!
The only thing which I find a pity is when I'm in Call Status mode just after finishing a call, then it does not work. Anybody know a way to make it work in call status mode, too?
I did not install the Extended Rom on my o² Trion and this function is not working. I really miss it though.
Does anybody now, what CAB do I have to install? Or did anybody try Smartskey on a TyTN?
Cheers

i did, works, however i'm only using SmartSKey on my Hermes for quick real-closing apps with right softkey. i don't know how accessing call history and other phone-stuff works.
Hi, I wanted to use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311225&highlight=touch , dialer on my 6800, but it doesnt work with the system menus, the stuff liek ##DATA# and the like.
Please tell me how to make it work, or if anyone is kind enough to do so, can you please modify it to work on the Titan. I am new to this stuff, and I dont want to mess with anything that much, this is my first Windows Mobile device, so please if you can help me out. Thanks.
Go here it's fixed to work with CDMA by Paul Hammons

thanks for posting this mate, but i already tried this one, and i didnt like it, the ## stuff works, but it felt a bit more sluggish, and the blue was freaking me out. lol, i just want one where its the true touch dialer, like the one that was posted here for the wizard. Thanks for the reply though, god i wish i knew how to do this crap, lol.
Oh, I also tried an addon that was posted in taht thread where it made it look like the original touch one, but it too feels sluggish on my mogul for some reason, and when you dial numbers, it brings up that old menu type thing for recent callers, which overlaps teh backspace button, instead of just using the space in teh window.
If you turn off tones in the options menu it'll get rid of the lag.

what do you mean by tones? color tones or sounds?
sound tones.
also, while you are in the options menu, if you turn off smartdialing, you won't get that overlapping box and numbers will show up on the top row. I personally think smartdialing is too valuable, despite any cosmetic flaws.
just wished i can send an sms from the smartdialing window.
My boss liked the dialer I had installed on my new Mogul, and asked me to make his look the same. Well I thought I loaded the same one I did, but apparently not. I loaded the HTC smart dialer extracted from the Touch, but instead got a blank dialer screen when I pull up phone. I threw in another dialer I had handy, but then got stuck at a default looking dialer screen asking me to enter my SIM pin, and that emergency calls can only be made without a new sim pin. Sprint phone, no sim.....
I plan on doing a hard reset Monday, but now have no idea where to get a reliable smart dialer for the Mogul that has larger buttons...
Any ideas?
Start looking for a new job..
Did he happen to have SPB Pocket Plus? If so, there's a Safe Mode in there that you might be able to get into.
Oh man, dude, that sucks. I'd do exactly what you're doing...as far as a dialer goes, you can search for one on here or ppcgeeks. Good Luck!

Check out post #8 on this page

The dialer is called MogulBigButtonDialer and to skin the dial pad use the TOUCH CAB.
The final product will look like this. ( All in Black )
I will also include a screen shot of the one I use, but customized ( Colored )
This is exactly what I need! Even nicer than the one I'm using. I'll get my boss fixed up Monday morning. I think he'll be happy.
Thanks [email protected]$ !
Ok, loaded the dialer, then the touch skin, and the 1 key is missing. I see just part of the key, and number 1 is missing...any ideas?
Ok, found it:

post #9, worked perfectly
Hi!
yesterday, I wanted to dial a number using the dialer of my Touch HD. I did not do this for a while, so I was pretty surprised to see a VERY messed up dialer window. The numpad was somehow shifted and not complete, so dialing a "1" resulted in a "4". Some parts of my Spb-Lifestyle wallpaper were visible. Long story short, the whole thing looks very ugly and dialing is almost impossible.
Later on, I found a second issue: calling a friend via the contact screen, I realised that the whole "during the call" screen is gone (the one with "hold call" etc), the screen just goes black during calls except the "keypad" button at the bottom (which does not work, as I said before).
I have absolutely no clue what causes these problems with the dialer. Since it worked the last time, I installed several things:
- Spb Mobile Shell 3.0 --> uninstalled it, no change
- ChangeScreen --> disabled it, no effect
- HTC hotfix for accepting calls --> unistalled it, no change
- Navigon --> did not yet try uninstalling
- I tried to get it fixed by installing IPC black dialer, no improvement (the messed-up screens are black now - wow! )
My ROM is Dutty 2.9.
It would be great if you guys have a suggestion how I can fix my dialer!
Thanks in advance!

Is it only me?
I'm coming from WinMo only phones. I owned a lot of them, the last being the Touch HD. I was so used to press the "green" key to access the dialer and look for a contact using that mixed numbers/letters phone keyboard.
On Nexus One, I select "phone" shortcut on my homescreen and I get the dialer. But if you push buttons on that keyboard, you only get to dial that number (no contacts lookout, matching what you have pressed). So you have to go to Contacts or Favorites to select someone you want to call (too many operations to not get annoyed )
Is this a normal behavior on Nexus One? Or am I doing something bad?
I made a movie to see what I am talking about (not a native English speaker).
Movie 1
The second movie is made showing what I am talking about using a Market application I found: SuperDial. It works as expected, but still I am confused why Google didn't make this a default (I see this on every phone)
Movie 2
Thanks for any suggestions.

On the N1, you can press the "search" button at any time and begin typing a contact's name, and they should pop up as a top result. Alternatively, you can hold the Search button, and simply speak your contact's name. I find this to be the easiest way.
Yes, I've seen this, but it gets more general results, not only contacts. Also, after you find a contact that way, you click on it and it won't dial directly. You still have to select what to do.. not that fast ...
I'm not an American/Englishman and nor my contacts are , so speaking names is useless. Last try was: "Alex Axon" and the phone undesrtood "alex sucks own" .. you got the idea
Thanks for answering anyway. Are there other methods?
You can install aContacts from the market. It does what you want and very configurable. Unfortunately android stock dialer doesn't support T9.
Thanks.. will try that also. As I mentioned, I already found some replacement for my issue.
The question was: is this normal behavior for the default dialer? Or am I doing something wrong?
It looks plain stupid to open an application (Phone in Nexus case) always on a tab that nobody uses (dialer with this behavior). How many times someone will dial a number directly instead of using a saved contact?!? At least the application should remember the last tabs it was in: Favorites, Call Log or Contacts... Dialer is plain useless most of the time with this implementation

This is how mine reacts as well. There's another "application" called "Contacts" in my tray (it also started out on my desktop but I've removed it) which takes you to the same four-tab screen but starts on the "Contacts" tab. This sounds like it would be perfect for you if you used it instead of "Phone."
I also really miss the smart dailer (I think that's what they called it) on the Windows Mobile phones. I'm amazed that it wasn't implemented in one way or another in the stock dialer since it's been in the WinMo phones since forever.
I remember trying out some apps in the market that emulated the smart dialer. On is called SuperDial and the other was Star Contact. Both looked too ugly for me to use, though.

I also wanted to point out that at this screen, you can long press "Menu" to bring up the soft kb, which you can begin typing contacts with.

That's something cool I never tried, but OP wants to dial immediately after tapping on the contact's name. Doing it this way would be the same as hitting the magnifying glass while in the dailer/contacts app, which brings you to the contacts page where you'd have to then tap on the number you wish to dial. On Windows Mobile, after you T9 the contacts name into the dialer, you can select them and it'll automatically dial the contacts default number, which was very useful.
if you say "call" before the contact's name when using voice input, it will default to dialing them.
aContacts actually do the job really, but really well. It replaced my Phone application from this moment on.
SuperDial was good also, but ugly looking.

Where do you type "call"? OP can't use voice dial because he's not from an English speaking country.
you type call on the keyboard as far as I understood, just before entering contact name.. but the process is long in my opinion...
I'm a bit lazy myself
EDIT: tried to enter contact using keyboard on Dialer.. and nothing happens, contact is not found, and dialer just starts dialing the corresponding key number

It doesn't do anything... I type "call John" in the search box and my contacts don't come up.
Yeah, I edited my original post. I only had the misinfo in there for about 30 sec. Jeeze, you guys are fast
