Hi folks,
I've just upgraded my Hermes (Vodafone 1605 - UK) with the latest Vodafone ROM. All is well except I seem to have lost a dialling extension that I had in the previous ROM.
Let me try and explain what I mean....
On the previous ROM whilst on the phone dialler screen, when I hit a number with an alphanumeric character associated with it - for example '2' has 'abc' associated with it - I used to be presented with a list of names from my contact list in the top left corner of the phone screen that I could then scroll down and select to dial.
The new ROM doesn't have this (or at least I can't seem to find a way of turning it on).
Any ideas on how I might add this functionality back?
Regards,
Kev

Hi, i am using Dopod 838 (Wizard variant). I have a few cosmetic problems with it. when i view the contacts information some of the items like "Call Mobile" etc are all in Bold. is there a way we can set the "Wt" registry settings to normal for it? Similarly in Today screen also?
Thanks
Krishna
Isn't it bold to show which is the default entry you activate when you call that contact etc?
Pressing right on the dpad when in contact view would cycle the associated "bold" number I think.
Or am I confused?

Hello all!
Some older mobile phones have the following function:
You press an number and a sharp - e.g. 55# - and the relevant SIM number is selected. The same applies for Prophet (I know this is the wizard forum but I suppose more people have wizard than prophet and the issue is OS related).
Now I was wondering whether there is a way (OS or third party soft) to do the same with the numbers in the phone book. It is much easier to remember a three digit number for certain contacts than to type the whole name (my phonepad does not support Greek names).
Don't tell me about speed dial - I would like something that would allow me to handle more than 10 numbers..
Thank you in adavnce!
Does your Wizard not have the Smart Dialer? With it, you can just start typing the phone #, and it'll pop up a list of matching contact phone numbers from which you can pick. Not quite the same, I know, but close enough?
Otherwise... can't say I've spotted anything that does what you mentioned
Hi folks,
TIM Brasil send me ans SMS with all calls I've lost. useful when I flying, at arrival I saw who call me.
The problem is the SMS contain the caller number, time and date, so I need to search at Contacts to discover the caller name.
Someone know a piece of software able to look at phone number inside of SMS and scan the Contact to match it, showing the name of the contact?
Best regards
Any ideas?
Here in Italy vodafone sends a similar SMS but sets the sender name to the one who attemped to phone you
In this way the phone shows automatically the name (if it has been stored in contacts)
To quickly discover who's the owner you can do two things:
1) if the message contains "This number +xxyyyyyy tried to call you..." press the down key (the number should be selected by a square box) click and your phone should start dialling that number (doing a lookup in contacts and showing the name)
2) you can remember the first numbers (excluding the international prefix) press "red phone", "green phone" (to quickly start the phone application) and use the hermes' smartdialer to quick find who's the owner.
Try using SPB Diary...
Make sure your numbers are in the international format.

In fact this work, but is not exactly what I want, because after a airplane trip the SMS has 3 or 4 numbers. So I need to call/abort 3 for times... It's not elegant way.
thanks.

What is SPB Diary???
spb diary is a diary application in form of today plugin..
but as far as I know it can't do what you're looking for.
WM developer
Hi Guys,
I'm trying again... Is there a WM developer here who could develop a little plug in to do it?
I think is not complicated, but I don't know WM development to do it.
Of course this could sold to the community.
i had once a siemens sl45 and when i had a phone number in a sms it replaced it by the name in the phonebook... i so miss that feature..... i haven't seen it on other phones since then...
I'm not alone
Finally someone understood what I'm saying.
It's very useful this feature. I'm wondering if someone could develop this.
Anybody as a volunteer?
Maybe this is what you need?

Thanks Moe,
It's exactly what I was looking for.
Thank you.
Hi all.
First i would like to say that this is an excellent board for HTC devices. Never i have seen so many helpfull topic.
I own a HTC Touch 3G for a week now, yester i copied my sim contacts to my "contacts" on the phone (i need new sim for new provider)
Now when ever I try to dial a numer or open contacts, i see this
picture:
I can still use the numbers and browse contacts but this "busy" icon is bothering me since i can hit "2" for dialing.
I hope i explainend my problem in good English
Thx in advance for reading my topic.
Not sure why the "wait cursor" is there. I never experience the "wait cursor" on my dialer. What should happen is - when you press a button, it should search for the number or alphabet in the contact list (and SIM, if you configure both). If number or alphabet is found it will display on the list. If not it will ask if you want to save the number typed to contact.
Have you tried "softrest" , close all other running programs and see if any better ?
Soft reset was my first thougt. It did not work.
The problem was solved when i discovered an option to hide sim contacts
My sim contacts are hidden and it all goes a lot faster now
Useful finding. I did not experience the "wait cursor" delay bacause my SIM list is small, less than 50.
The contacts tab is annoying me, on the old touch dual I had you pressed a person and it phoned the number you had setup behind it. I've set up people on the Jade/Touch 3g and when I press the person all it shows is a list of their numbers rather than simply dialling the specific number I set it up as.
Am I missing something?
2) Press/touch name/phone logo (at bottom of picture) it will immediately dial the designated no (mobile or work or home)
2) press/touch the picture, list of nos, options for you to select (e.g. send sms)
It's all in the manual.

Been using my Jade for almost six months now and like jmrenshaw, I am also annoyed by that, didn't know that there's a simple answer to the problem, which is not really a problem
if only I bothered reading the manual, Thanks Azahidi
blinking heck, thanks for that azahidi!
