Duplicate contacts in Call history; How to delete/fix them?

I found it very annyoing; so please someone help:
First of all: in call history; it alway sets to all calls; that means showing missed/incoming/outgoing everything; Even if you put filter to missed calls only; next time you open history; it again reverts back to All calls filter; So QUES IS: how do you make HTC remember call history filter which you set up earlier (like show call history only)
2ND QUES:
even dumbest fone of Moto's shows this; when you call xyz from your ph.book, and called again, its shows 1 entry in call history (not every time you call it), but in HTC it shows 10 entry if you try to call 1 number and it's busy or not connecting; so how do i get rid of these duplications?
Help appericiated; ques sounds dumb but i'm rookie using PPC 1st time in life

same issues as above is there a fix? also is there a way to save text messages or lock them?

Good Call Register for Wizard..

Hi
Can anyone suggest good CALL History / Register application.
In the wizard in the calll history it lists all the incoming/outgoing/missed/all calls on one page , rather than proving TAB version for each.
does any one of any free apps..
regards

You can view the calls by incoming / outgoing / missed / user by using the menu > filter option in call history.
Not quite what you were after, but I am not sure if you had seen the filter option before.

Is there anyway to get the recent call list to display the telephone number and number of calls from tht number on the side rather than list every single time of call from tht particular number.
It's quite irritating... when i'm in a meeting there are times when i'll recieve like 10 missed calls from one single number and it's quite painful to browse thru soo many calls.

Hi
You are right , there is a filter option , buy I would rather prefer a tab option
without going into Menu->Filter , I have a Sony Eric Phone and I got addicted with that interface and quite like it.
So may be just asked the Q in the forum.

Call Forwarding problem

Hi folks,
I've got a problem with the call diversion on the Xperia. Today I went skiing and let my phone at home so I wanted to forward all incoming calls to my girlfriend's phone. I openend the phone options and wanted to set the call forwarding, but I could just set it to "mailbox". I could not chose any phone numbers or contacts to forward the calls to. With all my previous phones the call forwarding was no problem but the xperia doesn't seem to let me do as I want.
Any solutions?
THX

have exactly the same problem with winmo. I see no chance to forward calls to another phone no.
Any solution would be appreciated.

I can type in a number and forward my call to that number... did you try that or you were just trying to choose from a pull down menu?

I already tried that but the network did not save the settings so no call forwarding was set. But even if it would work like this I won't be very happy because I see no reason to write the desired phone number down just to type it in a few seconds later. There have to be a way to get the contacts shown in this menu.

Call Timer

Does anyone know of a good call usage monitor. I use to have Phone Dashboard but I can't add this to the HTC Homepage. The call timer in Windows Mobile only monitors all calls not just outgoing calls, as far as I can see. Any ideas

Ummm....have you checked under the call history button on the dialer? When you launch your dialer, click on the call history button. If its showing you all calls click on menu-->filter and select only outgoing calls. It should show you only outgoing calls now as well as durations for each. At least that's how it is on WM6....I don't know if they've changed if for 6.1

Nope. You can view only the duration of the calls when you open Call History and select specific person in it. Or through Contacts -> Click contact -> Menu -> View all calls.
It is very disappointing, because at least I want to know the duration of the last call. Doesn't matter if I end up the call or the other party. This dialer doesn't show last call time!

Thanks [email protected].
However, the Call History lists all the calls made or have come in via the filter. However, I want to know how many minutes a month I have used and unless I try and add all the outgoing message together, I'm stuck.
Under Call History there is a button called menu which gives the option "Call Timer" but if you click on this it gives you the total number of calls made since last hard reset (I assume) and the number of minutes used since last reset. Most people, I would think, with a contract want to know the number of outgoing minutes since last reset (with reset being since the last cut off date for calls on their contract). This appears to be missing. Can anyone help or know a program that does this that could be intergrated with the HTC homepage.

I'll second that, any way of\software for knowing how many minutes have been used in the monthly bundle?

Try Home Screen Plus
Have you guys tried Home Screen Plus? Its a great piece of software...and If I'm not mistaken it does have a feature to track call timers etc. Give it a shot. Its free Make sure you download the latest version. I know of a lot of other older versions floating around.

that is a real cool app but also a little heavy just for the calltimer. Anything with a small footprint out there?

Thanks Guys. However, I want to keep the HTC homescreen but I don't think you can add bolt ons to it, so any homescreen add-on won't work. I need a program that runs on its own that monitors the minutes and then being able to access it via the programs tab.

Found - LCMinutes
Not the easiest to configure, but once you grasp the concept it's a doddle (and elaborate).

LCMinutes :X
so i played around with LCMinutes and all it did was give me a headache! lol
i found this and wanted to share:
hxxp://www.hudsonmobile.com/products/phodash/index.html
is very very neat and a very easy to configure
ta

I had heard it didn't work on the HD but if it does, how about sharing it on the wiki

Can anyone comment if this works with TF3D?

Call timer on Dutty´s Touch HD 2.1 is missing?
Hi there!
Anyone having problem with a missing call timer on Dutty's 2.1?
Or should I do a hard reset?
Thanks!

I am using phone dashboard which I find is very good and should suite your needs. Without Today screen it is a pain to use but still possible. Goto settings->Today then highlight the plugin and options. There is one tab which shows you the usage. But you have to "regenerate" the data before viewing.
Alternative, why dont you just run TouchFlo + Today screen (using TFD or SecondToday).
I know phoneAlarm also have a call duration tracking but phoneAlarm is just too much of hassle to configure.

How to tell time of call in call history?

Is there a way of showing the time of each call in the call history list?

..when you click on the call you have the duration!

Thanks for your reply, but it was the time of the call, not the duration, that I wanted - e.g. call received at 6:28pm. When I click on a call it simply re-dials the number

Instead of clicking on the call, click the contact card on the right side.
This will list all calls from that number with times.

When I click the contact card to the right of the call details it either:
- does nothing (if the number is in my address book), or
- asks me if I want to add the number to my contacts (if the number is not in my address book).
Is this behaviour configurable to get it to work the way you describe?

May be default config for WM6.5.
I assume you're on WM6.1?
I tested with both calls from address book and not in address book, both gave me times.

Yes I'm on WM6.1. Anyone know if it's modifiable behaviour?

i'm using wm 6.1 stock rom, go to menu then choose call history then you can click contact card and see the date, time and duration for any number even if it is not saved to address book

but when the call is from an unknown number, it will do nothing when I press on the contact card. You can only see the date of call if the call was not received today...

I'm not actually using TF3D - I use SPB Mobile Shell 3. Is that maybe why I can't see call history for numbers which are not in my contacts?
