I've experienced a problem on and off for awhile, wondered if anyone else has experienced it and has been able to find a solution.
1) When inputting a new number in my phone (xxx-xxx-xxxx), and then I dial it....often it will dial a number with a similar area code if one exists. Like in an instance where you get a new number, and immediately call it so the other person can just save you without inputting numbers. Now I'll go directly to "New Contact" and input the number in order to avoid the problem
2) When using the Smart Dial to select a number, say I want Jane, so I select "J-A-N-E" and either click on the middle square button OR the green call key....often it will call a number in a group similar to the one I've selected. I'll be trying to call her, and Google 411 will pickup, or my Mom, etc.
If anyone can help, thanks!

Hey guys,
I've been plauding my MDA ever since I laid my hands on it. However, yesterday when I was on the phone, I realised I couldn't find a way of storing a number - which I assumed was quite a standard function!
For example, on a conventional phone, I simply key in the number, then select the save tab and hey presto. Or I can key in the number, and once the call finishes, the number remains on screen for me to save it.
Do you happen to have any idea/suggestion/programme suggestion that can possibly solve this dilemma? I mean, is there an alternative "phone" programme than that stored on the MDA?
Many thanks again
I've done some messing around and I think I've got it.
For those interested:
During the call, key in the new number and press the green "call" button. As I don't have Line 2, I get a message that "Operation has failed" and cancels the new dial.
This can be repeated as much as you want and when you are finished with the call, go to Call History, hold down on number and save.
However, what happens if you do have Line 2? How do you cancel the new outwards dial without cancelling the current call?
Hello,
I often use an access code to dial internationally, and once I am connected to that access number, I have to enter the number of the person I am calling.
I have an HTC Touch HD with WM6.1pro and cannot find a way to do it. If I connect to the access number, then at the prompt go to my address book and dial a second number, it assumes I want to have two separate calls and puts the access code on Hold... which is not what I want! I do not remember all my friend's numbers, so I do have to use the address book.
With my old nokia n95, once connected I could go to the menu and say I want to dial a DTMF which is the tone you hear when dialing a normal phone. This allows me to follow on with calling the number I need while connected to the call.
Is there a way of doing this on WM6?
I have a kind of work around. I edit my international friends phone numbers as a "car phone" and the numbers look like this
02081802828 p 0027115555555
the access code, then I add p to pause then their number.
The HUGE problem is that when I dial any of my international contacts, the phone displays the same person... so no matter who I call internationally, it always shows a photo of my friend Ian, and displays his name instead of the person I am actually speaking to. I think this is a bug where WM6.1 only looks at the first 11 characters of a number, but the problem is, all my intl numbers have the same first 11 numbers.
Help MUCH appreciated, thanks,
Mark.

Don't know if it will work... but you coud try (using Advanced Config) to increase the number of digits used to "match" the numbers in the contacts... for example to 18 or 19 numbers... but I cannot immagine what other "consequencies"could happen...
Let us know !

Hi Kostas
It seems that the problem is actually with spb Mobile Shell and not windows mobile.
When I dial using the windows mobile dialler, it gets the name and picture right, but when I use spb's dialler it shows the wrong person and name...
I will chase it up with them... and thanks for the good idea, unfortunately the Call ID Match does not help the problem.
Efgaristo!

when i go into the contacts menu, choose a contact and press the number to dial, instead of going straight into dialing mode which it did before the rogers update, it now displays the number when clicking the number in which i have to press call, a whole extra step. Any ways to fix this?
i thought it should seen as a improvement?
now you can now always edit before call , previously you need to call first and edit the number from call list
Does it for me too, but as a lot of my contacts have two numbers I prefer it as I don't always tap the right number.

well, when I do travel, because of Roaming/Local numbers, I prefer the number showing up instead of call direct , STILL, I would like a fast way to call, I do at the moment 4 taps to it...
yeah, everyone has known about this one. But got this apk file from somewhere in the forum or the net (i dun remember)
hope everyone like it
yes
this is the one
the only one
thanks
I have twice now gone through my contacts and set Mobile first, Home second, etc for several contacts. After my newest ROM flash, the order is all messed up again, even on the Google Contacts side of things.
Is there some feature I'm missing? Am I the only one that wants a predictable listing of phone numbers on my phone?
anyone? 10char
Someone must know...
I get very anoyed by the contact's numbers order.
In my country:
- the mobile numbers begin with 06...
- fixed line numbers depends of the town, but mostly are 011..., 021..., etc.
Now - it realy is a pain in the back to search for a person, and 99% of the time to scroll down to 2cond or third number to pick...
Even when I want to send a message - the same is needed, although in my country it is not possible to send a message to a fixed line number (I know in some countries it is possible).
Is there an app to choose the order of offered numbers to dial, send messages and similar?
Cheers
I found on another forum:
"If you do a long press on the office number, a menu will appear. From the menu, you can select "Make default number". This way, when you dial, it will automatically dial the office number."
But :
- it doesn't appy to message compose,
- it can be applyed to one number only - if someone have 2 mobile phones (personal and work) - it helps just 50%
- it has to be done person by person, and it is a pain...
- it doesn't apply to all the dialers (just to default one)
When I am in messages (for example) and click on a contact then click on call - some come up with several numbers and others just dial the mobile number...
Now i am sure that i have never clicked the "remember this choise" checkbox... but for 90% plus of my contacts (out of the ones with multiple numbers) it just dials the mobile number without asking me what number to dial! - also on the few contacts that do ask me what number to dial they also seem to have a default action of "call mobile"
just wondering if anyone knows why this is happening? or how to un-remember the number that has been selected
Thanks
Kris
