Hi all,
2 questions re. accessing voice mail and miss calls list on the hermes:
1) On my old phone (very old Sony Ericsson T100), there is a 'check voice mail' option in the menu that lets me quickly check my voice mails (ie. essentially a speed dial). And it looks like the phone automatically configured itself to work out the voice mail's number (from the SIM?) Can WM5 do this as well? I'd like to have the voice-mail option somewhere that's easily accessible, so I don't have to hunt through my contacts list for the number.
2) How do we find the list of miss calls? Again, on my old phone, I could simply go to the 'miss call' menu option to see the list of miss calls, and all the numbers on the list stay there until I expicitly clear the list. Does WM5 have this facility as well?
cheers

Hi
Regarding 2) Missed calls.
If you have current missed calls an icon appears on the task bar. Tapping this brings up a list of missed calls (if you choose view.)
Alternatively you can open phone with the green button go to menu and in call history missed ones appear with an exclamation mark.

Regarding voicemail, this may depend what you can set up with your provider. With O2 I have it set up to notify me with a text message and a link to call sender (i.e. voicemail).

In D2 there are 2 different forms of call history representations:
1. Simple Call History. You get there from home screen, tapping on Call History line. You get 3 buttons below, Call History (with options to show all, missed, outgoing,received using submenu), All Contacts, Favorites.
2. Advanced Call History. You get there when there is missed call, and you click on notify bar, then in notification manager - on "you have X missed calls" line.
In this list you see 4 buttons below, allowing quick filtering (missed,outgoing,received, all).
Simple or Advanced are mine inventions, I have to do something to tell them apart ...
So the question is: how can I change behavior of Call History line on home screen, so it will open Advanced Call History (which is much easier to use), instead of Simple Call History ?

Thats really something I would like to have too!
I agree, it would be great to change this.
Your "simple" call history is the TF3D version, whereas "advanced" is the standard WM6 version. Unfortunately, I haven't found any way to turn off only selected parts of the TF3D interface. Must be in the registry somewhere. Maybe someone out there has more ideas?

Yup, I like the "advanced" one also better. Any progress in this topic?
Me too, anyone?
Looks like not too many people are interested in this!
Just discovered something interesting.
During a call, bring up the dialer keypad on the screen (by pressing the button). Now, if you swipe your finger across the blank white space to the left, you'll bring up the WM6 style quick dial list, and if you swipe to the right you'll bring up the WM6 style call history.
Not sure why this works, but it does. Doesn't help much with our initial query though!
For what it's worth, I'm using the Dusk dialer.
Um... found a way of getting the other "advanced" call history to come up... by mistake, and it is a little convoluted! I have SK tools installed and in SK tools set a shortcut up for the "Close Tasks" feature, I then set my call button to access the Close Tasks shortcut, using the "buttons" option under the standard rom settings tab. Now when i use that shortcut by pressing and holding the call button, it closes all the tasks then jumps to the elusive "advanced" missed calls screen!
Odd, not a fix for everyone as it means closing all your other software to open the screen but thought it may be of interest!

I have tried searching the forums, but haven't found anything about this.
In the Phone screen (with numeric pad and the recent call list) each entry has an icon, the person's name and phone number and a button to show the contact or details about the call.
Why isn't the time of the call in that list? Is there a way to turn that on? I consider that vital information.

yes it is annoying. I wish it is listed here.
But if you tap the thing on the right, it will show you all history for that particular person. In this screen, you have time and duration for each entry.
Also tap the button on the left next to "Talk" and it will open "Call History" with all the vital information you want.
On my windows mobile 6.1 phone I can just hold the number in the Call History and it will ask if I want to copy the number one of my contacts. I can't see how to do this with the HD2. Very frustrating, try anything on the main phone screen it calls them, try anything on the call history screen it calls them and I can't see a option for it on the menus for the phone app or the Call History.
I do see a setting: "Save to Contacts" - "Save new number when call ends" It is on and the number in the call history is listed as unknown but I don't see a new contact and in this case I want to add the number to an existing contact.
Help.
Thanks.
in the call history list, tap the small contact card icon at the right end, which makes all the tabs specific to that caller. you "should" (fingersa crossed) now be able to save or update.
edit yep, works.
Hi,
Is it possible to add a profile image to the Android voicemail contact that appears in the phone call history when you touch a voicemail entry in the notification pull down?
I've spent quite a bit of time collecting images for all my contacts and, though I know it isn't a bug in Android, it bother me to see the blank voicemail profile image among the phone call history items. Touching those history items does pull up a contact entry for voicemail but there doesn't seem to be a way to edit it. Is there something that I'm overlooking or is it just not possible yet to do so?
I have the same Problem.
I want to put in an Image which contains all the tone dail numbers of my Voicemail.
It's so disgusting to wait for the woman's voice who says "for ... press 1, for ... press 2" etc.
I'll hope there will be a possibility
