Hi all,
What am I missing here? I've used three different dialer skins (right now I'm using a version of the big-button one), and the "redial" button on the bottom right of the screen doesn't seem to work.
I'm talking about the button that (in most versions that I've seen) has the phone icon with an arrow pointing away from the phone, to the right.
When I bring up the dialer, it says "Last call: xxx-xxxx", so I'd like a way to dial that number again with one touch instead of having to go to the call history, which is what I have to do now.
Any ideas? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks.
you need to be more specific about which dialer you are using, there are many. Have you tried just hitting the "talk" hardbutton, after pulling up the dialpad. It redials the last number on the screen for me.
If it doesn't then you should try Paul Hammon's big button dialpad for mogul over at pdaphonehome.com. every stock functions are retained, including smartdial and redial.
i tried multiple skins and ran into that same issue.. literally 20 skins easily.. i tried paul's skin and all my questions were answered.. the skin works flawless and I personally love it.

I am running into the same issue with tons and tons of different skins...such as the standard iphone, retail iphone, eten, marshall, and lots of other ones..... REDIAL just DOES NOT WORK!! I am sure everyone is experiencing these issues.
have we figured out any solutions yet?
The first reply was correct -- all of these other skins are based on a non-sprint dialer, so some things don't work (like redial, but more importantly, 911!)
Use Paul Hammons Touch dialer and it'll be fine. It's just as skinnable, with the only down-side that I've seen thusfar that the contact picture is slightly smaller.
I have a dialer skin that everything works correctly, including # codes. Search for Mogul Big Button Dialer. It is an improved version of the Kaiser skin.

This is the same Paul Hammons dialer that Skatsev spoke of in the previous reply. The original thread is on pdaphonehome.com
http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/ppc-6800-xv6800/91652-sprint-native-big-button-dialer-theme-here.html
for those of you who want a different dialer skin other than the default one on the phone, and you don't like paul's version, there is another skin that i found on xda this morning that works perfectly on the mogul
it allows the use of the codes as well (example ##778, etc...) and doesn't mess up your emergency 911 dialing either.
I didn't create this. i just dl it this morning on my way out the door and ran it on my phone while at work today. personally, i love it.
Give it a shot.

This was discussed in numerous posts above. Please read through this thread again.

like i said, if you want ALL functions of the stock dialer (redial, 911, ##functions, Smartdial, etc., etc.), you have only two options that i know of: Paul Hammon's dialer from pdaphonehome.com or the stock dialer itself.
If you want to prove me wrong, then please do extensive testing before posting it.
If you look through the thread on pdaphonehome. com concerning Paul's dialer, you will realize within that dialer, there are other "skins" available to make it look like the Touch dialer, etc. There are also instructions on how to skin the dialer yourself to some extent. I knew nothing about skinning, and I was able to create my own skins with that dialer including using vista-type 3d icons and iphone icons. Skinning options are limited on that dialer, but they are there.

Hi Guys
I am using Iconsoft Phonex as my dialer. Its a super dialer. My problem is it doesnot integrate with the People tab provided on Touch flo. Clicking on the call button in the people tab doesnot initiate a call. It appears to become a dummy if i have Phonex running. I think it is because TF3D doesnt know it needs to use Phonex dialer to initiate the call. I am sure there is some registry key i need to modify to get this working.
Anybody aware of this? Any known fixes available? This would make my phone perfect!
I am on Dutty 3.3 XT ROM.
cheers

I'm usingthe stock ROM, PhonEx 1.4 and what you're describing works OK for me. Trying my home landline from TF3D/ People dials home and goes straight into the PhonEx dialling screen. I know that this is no consolation to you at the moment but I would try a complete uninstall and reinstall. HTH.
micken thanks for the reply. I just did an uninstall, reset, reinstall reset... still the same problem... maybe its the rom version i use? i never tried it with the stock rom i had.
its such an annoyance!
One thing.. when you disable phonex, do you get the standard wm dialer working in all its glory? For me the dialer comes back but i cant see the call list in the dialer.. its all blank, though i can dial and make calls and even scroll down the blank list!
i have same problem
HI all,
While receiving a call, the Canvas always comes with the curtain which could slide down to have all options, can change registry to disable this? Quite troublesome for this function...
Any News on this issue?
I'm also intressted in this
that comes as an improvement from TD1 as users complained that when speaking, they'd navigate with the ear. Bear this in mind when you disable it
I'm looking for this too... But didn't find anything :-( not in the registry...
I'm also interested in this... been searching far and wide for a solution.
I have the problem the other way round. It's gone on my phone and I want it back
But I guess if somebody finds a way to disable it, it will also solve my case.
Any solution on this?
Dialer Curtain
Install Rhodium Dialer and you will get rid of the curtain.
do a search on Rhodium dialer and you'll find it.
In WM2003 & 5 dialpad, it was built in that the pushing the directional button goes directly to call history (up), voicemail, speeddial numbers (down)
In WM6 dialer, this functionality is gone. Anyway to get it back?
It is faster to scroll through the call history than to scroll through the phone dialpad. It's also easier & faster to reach speed dial contacts.
Isn't there a way?
I found an old similar post but none of the mentioned ways worked for Iolite WM6.1

With Advanced Config you can disabe "Phone Skin" - you have the old 2003/WM5 Dialer.
Greetings!
I know the default Windows Mobile dialer skin is limited but even so I think I am missing something with it. If I open the phone and then begin typing a name the Leo HTC Phone Canvas automatically searches for a name in the contacts list. With the Windows Mobile default dialer this doesn't seem to happen and I can't believe this is a feature MS would have left out?
I have a pretty stock Leo ROM but have changed the Windows Mobile build and added in a few applications. I have been toying around with 5.2.23152 & 5.2.23569 and prefer 5.2.23152 but have the Phone Canvas issues (no Caller ID, Call History etc). I have tried all the 'fixes' posted (replace cprog.exe etc) however none of them fully fix the problems so I thought why not use the default Windows Mobile Dialer Skin? I have set the [HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin\Enabled] to 0 and have the default skin, however the dial parser (?) doesn't work?
Any pointers?
Andy
Fixed it by not including the Phone Canvas in the build. Bit odd as I thought disabling the Phone Skin would have worked, ahh well...
The skin got to disabled, and some reg needs to be deleted in order for WM dialer to work, if htc dialer is cooked in i think. I am going to search for that thread, will share when I find it.

Yep, the HTC Dialer (Phone Canvas Enhancement 2G v4.2.62520173131.0) would normally be cooked in. Due to the various compatibility issues with this Dialer Canvas and WM 6.5.x I wanted to 'switch it off' and use the default MS Dialer Canvas, but leave the HTC one there so I could switch it on if need be. It looks like I can't just switch it off and need to remove it from the ROM build.
Ho hum, I rebuilt the ROM but excluded the HTC Phone Canvas and the MS one now works as I expected. Although the MS Phone Canvas looks less pretty than the HTC one, it has about the same functionality..... I think I can live with it to get a better WM build.
Does anyone know if the default Windows Mobile Phone Canvas works with the Light Sensor? i.e. can it be configured to turn the screen off when held to your ear? It isn't by default and I have tweaked the various settings via Schaps Advanced config tool but can't get it to work?
