Great work on getting the SMS Chat view from the 750v extracted!!!
I would also like to see the following Palm Innovation extracted from the 750v for everyone's use:
"Dial or message by name:
Look up and dial contacts in an instant from the Today screen by entering just a few letters of a contact's name or phone number and pressing Send. You also have the option to send a text message or email – with just a quick press and hold1. There's no need to navigate to your contacts list and then over to email, you can do it all from one place."
Isn't it just as easy to press the green dial button and use the default smart dialer?
By tapping and holding the search results you can sms/email.
Problem is that the HP hw6945 doen't have a Smart Dialer.
The cool thing is that with this you can do it from the today screen.
Hi Everyone,
I switched to the Mogul from my old iJam TMO phone. With the old Windows Mobile 2003 system, in phone mode, when I press the "up" button, the phone opens the call history. This makes it very easy to make calls without searching contacts or using more actions to dial a number of get to call history via the menu.
In WM6, I noticed that the "up" button won't automatically open call history. I need to use Menu->Call History. Can the button be set up within the phone feature so the "up" button opens call history?

Search the forum for an app called smartskey, it allows for this and much more.

Can anyone help or is it the phone. When I call someone you can press the home button and go to other applications, like messaging, mediascape, etc. But if press the dialler button, or retreive call in the notification bar, you can only get that call. How do you access the contacts menu? I needed numbers of people twice and I couldn't go into them without dropping the call first.....
WHen you're on a call and you press the home button... the calls still working in the background and from there then you can press the application screen and then select phonebook, and scroll through your contacts there. Hope that helped.
Yeah, don't click on the Dialer to check your contacts in the middle of a call, go to Phonebook instead in the Apps list.
Dear friends,
I've got the X2 for 1 month, and updated to MR2 as soon as i got the phone. Been happy with the quicker response, and rarely freeze. But after upgrade i found flaws that make me dissapointed :
1. In the middle of conversation, usually i have shortcut to Notes, so i can make notes while talking. Now the button is gone, replaced by much less useful dialpad. More strange, now there are 2 identical "end call" button : one is big , in the center of panel, one is small at the bottom of the screen. This is ridiculous. The only way i can get to Notes is to press Windows logo, go to main menu, scroll to Notes and press the icon. Thats way too long.
2. In the contact menu, i can only register 1 mobile number, 2 work numbers and 2 home numbers. So if the contact has 2 mobile number, only 1 can be assigned as Mobile Number, the other must go to Work or Home. The problem : if we open the contact, the only option to send SMS is to Mobile Number, not from work or home, despite it is really a cellular number. Apparently the software think the Work and Home number as a landline number. This is stupid. The only way to send SMS to work/home number is go to message menu, and press "add recipient", and so on. Why can't they make it from contact menu??
3. If i got a calling from unknown number (not from a Contact), usually i want to save the new number as a new contact or add to exsting contact. But i cannot do the second thing. I go to call history, choose the number, press the menu key, and all i get is "add to contacts", and it only allow me to save the number as new contact, but cannot add to existing contact. very annoying! i have to write it down in the paper, just like old days
I don't know if the above flaws happen because of the upgrade, or this is the new Windows 6.5.3 habit?? My old Ipaq 912 with Windows 6.1 can do all the above mentioned.
I feel very dissapointed...hope you guys can give me feedback?
Thanks for reading
1. Notes when calling is not in the menu anymore, I'm not sure if it's every WM 6.5.3 device. You have to go through main menu.
2. Adding contact works great when you enable the prompt asking you to add the number to your contacts after finishing conversation. In this case you're able to also add it to existing one.
3. Every WM, also 6.1 supports only 1 mobile number.
However when you create sms from your messaging, you can send the sms to ANY number you want.
Thanks - and tips for LED problem
Thanks, appreciate your input. I have enabled the option to add number after conversation.
I personally think the Notes in calling mode, very useful. I have seen it in every new WM phones, including HTC and Samsung. Its pity they removed it on X2.
One more thing, about LED notification problem (which dont work when the phone enter standby mode /black screen), and the phone will not wake up when received SMS. I have simple solution, but there are sacrifices to made. here's how :
1. Disable the Auto Lock
2. In the backlight & power management menu, in the field "turn off backlight after....", fill 30 seconds or 1 minute, to save battery
in the field "turn off screen if not used for..." choose "never"
3. Dont' forget to set the illumination for SMS/MMS received as "no limit"; in the "sound and notification" menu.
4. (optional) Enable auto adjust backlight in the backlight & power management
Basically, we prebvent the phone to enter standy mode at all. This will reduce the battery life about 20%, but you will never miss a sms. Any sms will wake up the phone, the SMS sound will ring, the LED will light until you read the SMS.
Also, because the standby mode is connected to auto-lock, you cannot auto-lock the phone, that means you have to lock it manually everytime you finish use the phone. You can lock quicky by using SPB Shell, and create Lock shortcut in the front panel. Or in any mode, press "windows" logo on the left bottom, then you can see the lock button on the bottom screen.
Cheers!
Personally I've never had a problem with smses.
My previous OS never showed anything besides the icon and sound alert for sms. I never liked my sms appearing on the homescreen.
Current behaviour is that it plays a sound and doesn't wake the device up. So it doesn't activate in the pocket.
You just wake the device and see the sms icon anyway so missing sms is not such a case.
If you set the sms sound as a quite short file, it will always play a sound.
At least it does in my case.
Is there any way how to setup default dialer to start dialing contact when I tap on it?
When I tap contact it just put its number to dialer field and I have to press green button to actually call it - instead just calling it after selecting contact.
