How to disable SIM contact on Smart Dialing

Hi guys! This is my first post!! Just got an I-mate Jam, just wondering how does one disable SIM contacts on smart dialing. When I try to search a contact on Smart Dial, it shows both contacts I have in the phone and the contacts in my SIM card, therefore 2 contacts would show up. Anyways to fix this?

Please RTFM! :shock:

ooo get the wannabe mod :roll:

What if he got the phone without a manual or has lost it.
Its the guys first post!!!!! The reply was unacceptable.
If i had a manual myself i would have told him the answer.

Ha, I've got the same thing on my MDA Compact- hasn't really bothered me until I saw this topic
I will have to RTFM tonight i think :lol:

It makes a VERY BIG DIFFERENCE if at least explain that the unit was acquired without the manual or CD which contains the manual, or as you (pda) said the manual/CD got lost.
I've been in Tech Support for 15 years and believe me, I know when people ask for help without reading the manual.
@sh500: That's the right attitude! Right on!

i rtfm - 3.3 Smart dialing (page 22 in russian manual) but did not find the solution....

hmm, so zerimar, y dont u tell us how to do it? i believe u do kno how to do it, coz u've been in "Tech Support for 15 years" and must hav "rtfm" pretty many times n probably kno "tfm" by heart.. theres no harm tellin as "Forums are designed to help people" rite? :wink:

From Page 49 of Manual
Smart Dialiing searches the Phonebook entries in both the SIM card and Pocket Contacts, as well as numbers in Call History (Incoming, Outgoing, or Missed).

With what is said in the manual there is no way of filtering out entries from the SIM card. The only way is if there is a 3rd party software that would;
1. Replace Smart Dialing
2. Have similar feature like in Nokia phones to select which phonebook to use .
@Appu: I never read manuals from cover-to-cover for whatever gadgets I buy, but I browse through it to have an idea of the features, capabilities and limitations of the gadget. I keep the manual handy just in case I am not clear about something.

Forgot to mention. The only way would be to delete the entries in the SIM card (anyway a copy is is Pocket Contacts which is then syncronized to Outlook).

aah so thts how it is.. thanx, zerimar..
hope this info by zerimar was useful for btong and everybody else around..

Ah it's a shame there was not concrete answer....

What's not concrete? It's crystal clear that it's designed as a feature but for most of us has become a disadvantage. This shows that's it's a limitation of the OS/software. From the day I acquired my S100 and noticed the problem, I have already started searching for a solution (3rd party software, or registry hack).
This is similar to the BT issue. By default, the only way to switch on BT is to switch off Flight Mode first and this is solved by PocketMax's Phone Alarm.

Well I was making reference to the originial question and the simple answer to it is no, you can't select which phone book to browse; whether the manual was read or not prior to the question being asked.
In my opinion a 'designed feature' in this case would be one that gave users the option. The way it is currently is more of a 'design by default'.

Thanks, that's the answer I wanted... It's my first time posting here, doesn't mean it's my first time posting in a forum. I wouldn't have asked this question if it was clearly written on the menu or if someone asked the same question in the forum... 15 years of tech support eh? maybe it's about time to change job before getting fired...

It is very actual problem. Is there anybody who solved that?

Switch to Speake Mode when slide open the keyboard

Dear All,
This is my first post at the forum. All my other questions have been answered via the search function, so I'm very gladfull that all of you know this awsome machine so well.
Actually I do have a rather challenging question you everyone who is reading this forum.
When I'm talking to somebody on the telephone, normally keeping it to my ear. Now I would like to open my agenda en start writing in it to schedule an appointment. I would the system to switch to handsfree mode as soon as I slide open my keyboard? Is there a way to do this?
Did somebody maybe found an upgrade for this?
For instance, I know that when you open the Nokia 9300 while calling it will transfer to the speaker function?
Well, maybe someone can help me solve my little issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Jort.

Thats a very good question. I had never thought of that, but it would be nice, although not essential as switching to speaker is fairly quick and easy to do. If there was a reg hack or util to do it, it would use it for sure.

I know what you mean, i use it most of the theme this way. i bod a Bluetooth headset for this problem. but if there is a way. It wil make me happy

Have not seen a hack for this - just hold down the call button as you slide the keyboard open - that will do it

thats just like the lg V on verizon

good question !!
if we can find this will be a good hack to add to your device.

Is it just me or.... am I a numb nuts? Screensaver problem

does anyone else have a T-Mobile MDA Vario that always goes into screen saver mode (i.e. not turning off when on power but flicking to the password screen) is 'normal'. It is annoying at the best of times; when using SatNav it almost makes you want to throw the [email protected]*&dy thing out of the window!
SatNav (i.e. Tom Tom v5.21 with a TomTom BT reveiver) still works fine 'behind the scenes' as the voice commands still activate, but the map screen is covered by the standby/password screen.
This happened before I tried to update with the latest 2.26 ROM pack (Molski's fine effort that somehow did not change everything I thought it would!) and it is still happening. When on battery, it goes into this standby mode, when on power in the car (I have a bespoke car cradle) or in the study (again I have a bespoke cradle connected to my pc) it goes into standby. When it had the original 1.67 ROM that it shipped with a few months ago, it did not do this, when I upgraded to the 2.25 (and now 2.26) ROMs, it started to happen - and I'm stuck!
Any fixes or (clean) advice for this newbie would be most welcome.
Merry Christmas!

holy sh!t thats funny

Response to... 'Screensaver problem'
I did not, repeat not, use the term 'dumb nuts' in my post! I am not sure who added that for me- perhaps a moderator or 'helpful' person who really knows his/her way around the site (unlike me).
I am a UK citizen and we tend not to use fairly obscure usa slang. also, there is nothing dumb about my 'nuts' thanks!
I was looking for help, understanding and a place to find like minded Wizard users. I had what I considered a legitimate question to ask and asked it in amanner that might strike a chord with others who have come across the same issue. From the responses I got, it seems like I came to the wrong place?
Take the rise out of me if you wish, but I spent a long time searching for the answer to this before I posted as I really wanted to know the answer - if there was one. To be 'ridiculed' in such a manner is neither helpful nor, if I may say so, shows the user(s) in a good light.
My mistake could have been pointed out in a more thoughtful and constructive manner; instead of a negative and insulting manner. But we all live and learn.

No one changed your original post.. if a mod changed your title or anything about your post you would see in very small letters at the bottom of your post "message edited by:" to serve an example i will edit my post here so that you can see the message at the bottom of the post i am talking about..

Shogun Mark, thanks for the infomation, I do not know how these words were added, but they were not by me! Oh well, off to trawl through the reams of info to find what I am looking for. Happy New Year!

i think i have a solution to your problem.. change the amount of time it takes for your password screen to come on... however i think the best solution would be to disable it entirely when you want to use your app, but i dont think there anything out there that will do this.

Call Recorder Software for 8525

Hello everyone,
I am looking for a program that will let me click a button and record my phone coversation with someone on the cell phone. I do not know if that is even possible but I would like to be able to record important phone calls to my SD card.
Please let me know if you know of any software or way of doing this.
Thanks,

yes ... yes there is an app available regardless of the countless threads describing why there cannot be one (cred to Menneisyys who worked on that for ages)
how the app works is you pay someone to follow you around ( a stalker is good for this purpose and costs less) then when your phone rings you simply
-Hand it to them to answer
-Give a brief detailed message to the person on the phone(get someone with a good memory, it costs more but it is worth it)
-They write down a message.
-They hand back the phone (providing you pay them enough) then hand you the message.
its as easy as that!
(you could also just search to find the answer!)

Thank you for a very usless answer. I hope you didnt hurt yourself typing it.

Also searching it dont help because smart people like you post crap without knowing the answers so if you search there are 10 people saying that it works with resco or pm tools or vito recoder and others and the other half says it wont work with smart phones.
So who is right?

look before ye speak grasshopper.

not very bright
Old postI gave up on but i have not been here for a while and just have to say it.
Ok so the links he gave me take me to crap about answering machines which i was not looking for. I need to record phone calls not an answering machine. Also even if i was looking for an answering machine those posts still do not answer any questions just couple of people one saying well its hardware another no its software another we can break it another no we cant .....

The hardware limitation in the Hermes, and most other WM PPC phones for that matter, applies equally to answering machine as well as call recording software.
Buy a Gigabyte WM phone if this functionality is important to you. Or better, any Nokia Symbian S60.

Actually it DO appears to work...
I haven't done too much experiments yet but answering machine on my Hermes seems working fine.

Interesting... and the quality of the recorded audio is good? You don't need to keep the phone in speakerphone mode to record the audio, i.e. the phone will be quiet while recording the audio?

Does not work on hermes.

Yep... I'm having troubles too.
It seems I have spoken too fast.....
BUT they have released 3 major updates in the last few days.
New version is iSecretary 3.0.
Going to test it.
*EDIT*
In the first post they are looking for Call Recording software.
Answering machine is quite OT, so I posted my first impresions in the correct thread.

just a quick question...

where do you change the settings for the "enabled LED notifications" that you turn on in many different programs like BSB Tweaks, HS2tweak and Touch tools. is it a hidden menu or something? i can't find anything and i don't notice any different function of the LED after installing these programs!

really?
ok so 60 people have looked at this and not a single one either knew the answers or couldn't reply. it is really bothering me that i can figure it out since i feel i have poked and prodded all the files and registries in this and i just can't find it!

Well I'll tell you one thing. Your post makes no sense as to what you want. That could be the issue with people not responding. Your all over the place. You start talking about one thing then go into something else.
What exactly are you looking for? How to activate a program you installed? Were the program is installed? I know I couldn't make an sense out of what you were babbling.
If you are asking a question about Touch Tools why not go ask the question in his thread?

my bad!

i didn't mean to come off rude or anything! sorry if i did. my original question seemed pretty clear to me but i wrote it so i knew what i was asking i guess. thanks for pointing it out. i didn't ask it in touch tools thread since it is not solely a function of Touch tools and i thought it would be a simple look here answer and it is more visible out in the open and not burried in some thread I'll try that next time though.

actually you didn't make it much clearer now
anyway, IF I understand you correctly, you need a way to enable/disable led notifications for specific kinds of events.
That's not something you can set from within the stock set of settings afaik, yet there is a tool in here called "led nofications" that does just that, you only have to search for it

i conced....
i must be writing backwards and seeing it correctly myself or something!
thanks for the try.
i'll just leaving it turned on and maybe some day i'll stumble upon it wherever it is on the phone.

Ok I got what you want and I believe it was answered by ephestione. So you want the notification LED on or off?

To find the LED settings for each different event:
settings tab
menu> All Settings
Sounds & Notifications
Notifications Tab
Select an event (eg. Message: New Message)
Select whether or not to flash LED and for what duration. Please note that the LED notification does not work for new emails unless you install Phone alarm by pocket max.

thank you
thank you very much for the very detailed answer. that was exactly what o was looking for. i knew i had it i just had no idea how to use it!
