Speed Dial Plugin / testtodayplugin.cab

Hello,
I have installed the speed dial "testtodayplugin.cab" like the speed dial on the treo 700. It shows picture thumbnails which are speed dials.
Within the setting when you go to the today plugin, then hit options it says
"PRESS OPTION + SCROLL TO MOVE A BUTTON"
I have a imate kjam / Wizard... I dont know where my option button is or the scroll to re-arrange pictures...
Can anyone guide me to where the option and scrolls buttons are on the unit...
Thanks in Advance,
Scott
Edit/Delete Message

There's an issue with the full functionality of the program since it's actual residence IS the 700w. I think, from experience and from these forums, that this is just one of the issues. May I suggest just deleting the buttons and creating them as you want them to appear on the screen?

I know I can do that, but it tends to get a bit annoying.
Do you know forsure that this is a flaw?
Thanks,
Scott

Access call list and speed dials like WM2003SE

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.

anyone have a speed dial app..

...that show the keys on Today screen and who they are assigned to?
i always setup speed dial on every new phone then forget what they are

Use the picture dialer. There a long thread in these forums.
If you dont want to use pictures you can configure it to just have buttons and names.

duh -found it! - thanks
is there any easy way to get the small pics and have them in a horiz bar on today screen?
sorry, not really a question to you - i'll read the complete thread

The author of PQz wrote a screen dialer.
There's the Palm dialer.
And I use claunch and VJSMS etc.

yep - that's the one! Thanks
btw do you know how to remove the owner information from the Today screen?

Speed Dial... no shortcut

I've found that theres no speed dial shortcut.
On the Touch you simply press the Green Call key, press button down on the thumb pad and all the speed dials are there.. this isn't so on the dual.
has anyone found a easy wasy to find them with less than 5 clicks?
If not, does anyone know what .exe runs the speed dial, so I can create a shortcut on the Start menu.
Tnx
Steve

I personally find smart dialing to be a breeze... Just start keying in the first couple of letters and you'll get the matches... I have over 400 contacts and I find it a very efficient way to dial

Aaaaaaww what a great tip! Have had my Touch Dual for a week and had not discovered this gem. Thanks

What about assigning the contact tiles in the Touch Flo as you speed dials? Then you can have pictures of your contacts too?

my "workaround" for your reference:
1. add a shortcut to HTCActionScreen.exe (i.e. the action screen we get when sliding down the keypad) to Windows\Start Menu\Program Files\
2. now should be able to add HTCActionScreen.exe to the HTC Home Launcher tab
usage:
(click 1) launcher tab -> (click 2) launch action screen -> key in whatever you like with the hardware keypad to enjoy the quickdial feature
just for exp sharing.

But why do you need a shortcut for that?
I you anyway use the hardware keyboard to use quickdial,
why not simply start actionscreen by sliding out the keyboard?

1. when i'm so stupid that i can't press the first key before the action screen timeout and disappear. in this case, i don't want to slide the keypad back and out again.
2. when i want to use the other shortcuts on the action screen.

Hehe, ok
But one hint: u don't need to close and reopen the slider.
The sensor is on the last 5mm.
Just pull it a little bit back and release.

hehe... i really did this previously.
the shortcut was added later when i found that sometimes (though not frequent at all) i may want to access the shortcuts on the action screen without opening the keypad.

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!
