Writing SMS with standard mode with one hand?

Very often I have to write an SMS with one hand, but it is impossible with Qtek 2020.
I would like to find a software where you can write an SMS with the standard mode (like on normal GSM) with standard numbers 1-9 with letters on them.
I use D9 to find the contact and I think it is very usefull.
When you find a contact and you tap the SMS button near the number it should be very appriciated to have a standard GSM input letter mode (like T9) instead of default SMS client of WM.
Do someone know if a software like this exists?
Thanks for the answer,
Urosh

GO to www.yorch.net and look under "software".

I' don't find any software I described before.
Please let me know which one do you think do what I said.
Thanks,
Urosh

I apologise, I thought it was on yorches site, here is the link for you, it is a superb piece of software and it is FREE. Anybody else wants a brilliant sms program make sure you get it too.

I just found a bug in this program when running on xda2, if you push "select" button when entering phone number it gives an error, but ig you spend a little time inserting all your often used numbers you can use the drop down becuase it remebers the last 20 numbers that you have used, its worth a little time to set it up becuase it saves a lot of time in the long run.

Actually it's not working at all with my mda ii It says: message sent successfully, but later on-message not delivered Do you have any idea what I could be doing wrong? Is there a special format in which I have to put the number of receipient?

i think, only way is spb fullscreen keyboard or typeango ..

It's working fine on my XDA-II with T-Mobile ROM 1.60. The only thing is that if I am trying to send to local mobile number I have to enter the number with '+', country code etc. while I could use 'short' number with ordinary mobile phone.

Ok, that seemed to do the trick. Tnx a lot, it's working now flawlessly. But, I still have another question -how do you input "+" directly from the SMSwriter. "+" is on the same key as the "0" and whatever I do I keep getting "0". Of coarse, I could call up the keyboard but for that would again need a stlyus

Its a serious shortcoming, its a pity somebody couldnt patch on the ability to select searchwhich would bring up the contacts list, any offers from you programmers please???

unfortunately, found no way around it, I used to enter '+' with soft keyboard using a pen. The only temporary solution which comes to my mind is the list of numbers used to send SMS already (there should be some 25 numbers kept).

For me is impossible to use this software only with my fingers.
It has too small dialogue boxes (to find the contact).
For me the best solution would be to have a D9 program that integrates a SMS client which has the same keypad which is at the start of the program (with big buttons) to write to message (when the contact has just been selected).

Extending the ring length

When I had my O2XDA there was a way of getting the ring to ring longer, before the answer phone kicks in - I seem to remember that it was a sequence of ####**** & number entered in to the phone app, but I cant find the post anywhere.
Can anyone remember and does it work for the Exec?
Also I believe it was an O2UK thing only.

Start -> Settings -> Phone -> Serivces tab -> Call Fowarding.
That should do it.

If you're using the Exec on o2, you can adjust the cut-in delay at the o2 end. You do so by keying in/sending the following to o2:
**61*901*11*xx# [send]
(where xx is number of seconds, e.g. 30.)
Note: I think the maximum delay allowed is about 30-secs - at least I've never got it to extend longer than that!
I have found that o2 occasionally reset mine back to about 10-secs, so have it programmed into a contact number.

same trick for t-mobile ?
Anyone know the same trick for t-mobile ??

Uhm thats exactly right.
You don't need to invent cheese or anything. Just untick the 'forward to voicemail if not answered in xx rings' box.

Thank you, thats the code I was after.

inserting pauses for Wing speed dialing

No one at T-Mobile has the answer and HTC tech support referred me here. I dial my office voice mail maybe 10-15 times a day. On my Sprint phone I was able to insert pauses in the dialing. It would dial the number, pause for the voice command, add a string of numbers, pause for the next voice command, and finally put in my password. So I could press 3, for example, and it would take me all the way through to my messages. So far I can not find a way to put in the pauses on the Wing. So I have to press 3 and then wait for the voice command, and then manually put in the next string of numbers, then wait again for the next voice command, and then put in the password. This is time consuming and impossible to do while driving. Anyone know if it can be done on the Wing? If so, how? Thanks, Tom

I have not tried it on the Wing... But try just putting a comma "," in the dialing string... Should work.... Does on all my other phones......

Commas
I tried this. Maybe I'm doing it wrong, but I don't think so. In my contacts I go to the phone number. Here is the string I use (with x's for most of the numbers): 1802xxxxxxx,,,#802xxxxxxx,,,xxxxxx
I have this as a speed dial and also as a T-Mobile Fav. Any way I try to dial it it only dials the 1802xxxxxxx and then stops.

There is no way to insert pauses
I have now been told by someone who seems to know at T-Mobile that the Wing has no way to insert pauses into a contact phone number. To me this is a near fatal flaw. It means that if I call my office voice mail 5-10 times a day I have to type 16 extra digits (which includes my phone number and my password) each time I try to get my messages. Oh well.

I have 'p' as a pause digit and it works fine to call my voice mail for example...

P's don't work for me

Tried it on the Wing but no luck. When I dial with the P's added, the dialing never gets past the first string of numbers. On the dialing screen there are no P's and nothing past the first string. This is true for comma's also. When I tried it with ***'s it did appear, these did appear on the dialing screen of the Wing when I dialed but the call clicked off without dialing with the message, "Call Ended." One thing I noticed is that Outlook takes anything after the first string of numbers and puts the rest under "Extension" and puts an x before it. But I'm having the problem even if I enter the number only on the Wing and not in Outlook.

My mistake -- p's work and also commas

Yes! I see what I was doing wrong. A comma or a "p" both work fine. Thanks for the help.
One problem remains: I have this number as one of My Fav's, and if I dial it using My Fav, it doesn't do the pauses. I think I have to wait until July 1 and refresh the My Fav. -- I hope.

And what have you done wrong? (Just to solve this one exactly)

At least this: When did the speed dial (after inserting the pauses), at least a few times I did not wait long enough for the pause to kick in. On my Sprint phone I think it happened quicker with more pauses (I think), and I was used to have it happen quickly.
The Call Ended message that kept happening may possibly have been due to being out of a service area, but I tested at the time and other calls were going through, so I'm not sure what happened.
Finally, I haven't synced it back with my desktop yet. I hope the Outlook on the desktop doesn't screw things up.
One more thing if it is useful: T-Mobile has these My Fav's. If I dial using the speed dial or directly from the number itself, it is working. But if I dial directly from the My Fav's it does not insert the pause. I think the reason is that I uploaded the My Fav number to T-Mobile before I put in all the pauses, so T-Mobile must have it and be using it without the pauses. On the first of the month I intend to upload it again with the pauses and see if that will work. Hope so.
Thanks, Tom

we can also use a 'w' to insert a wait
along with the 'p' for pause, a 'w' can also be used to insert a wait. That would be useful when you are not sure how long to pause and want control of when to send the rest of the DTMF sequence. If you insert a 'w', you have to keep pressing the Green Call button and it will keep sending the DTMF sequence till the next 'w' in the number.
I use that very frequently to dial international phone numbers with different calling cards.

a w may work on the wing, most current android phones it seems like a ";" is whats required for the wait tone. also a comma is used for pause (3 seconds)but the easiest way i found to do it is by simply pressing the menu button while in the dialpad screen, it will pop up with options to add wait's or pause's

Ringtone Length

I've had a quick search for this but can't find it and its probably something blindingly obvious, but how can you change the length of time the phone rings for before cutting out to voicemail?
Thanks in advance Carl

that depends on your carrier & how many rings/seconds it takes before the VM picks up. for example, Sprint is 20 seconds from first ring to VM - unfortunately on Sprint's network there is no way to change the time from 20 seconds more or less - i think some other carriers allow you to change that option - you can always call your carrier to find out or call your cell & time it to find out how long it takes before VM picks up - then you would know how long to make your ingers if you happen to make your own.
Hope that helps

I found a registry setting for WM Standard once that allowed me to increase my ring time from about 4 rings to about 5 (from about 20 seconds to about 30). It wouldn't ring any longer than that no matter how many seconds I set it to ring, but it was something.
That was for a smartphone, but it seems to me a similar setting ought to be found in WM Pro's registry...
Too bad I can't remember what it was (that was 3 phones ago!).

You can change it by:
Start --> Settings --> Phone --> Services
choose option Call Forwarding --> Get settings
Now it will display the settings for forwarding calls. Here you can also change the seconds before getting voicemail(max 30 seconds if supported by your operator).

I dont have the option of "Call Forwarding " how can i get it ????

bump . . . . .

Thanks Caspertje Its been bugging me for about 6 mounths and it was in my face all the time god I fill silly.

no matter what you do with the phone settings this is controlled by your service provider.
Most phone providers world wide only allow for a maximum of 30 seconds ring time. this is done because they dont want to the available lines tied up that are ringing for extended periods.

[solved] How to set sms service number?

Since yesterday my hero doesn't receive sms, only sends... Any one knows how to set again my operator's number (I'm under 3 Italia)?

just open your phone app and type *#*#4636#*#*

p.s. don't know the real translation of it form dutch

Entering the sms centre number doesn't affect incoming sms does it? Have you spoke to your network provider?
Tried your sim card in another handset?

Thank's to both, but the solution was that you indicated. I had a new rom installed without normal messaging app, and that - I believe - wiped somewhere the center number. Even changing the sim, all continued the same. But reinstalling the center service number in that hidden menu resolved...
