Hi everyone,
I recently traded my HTC Touch dual for Leo, and so far I'm pretty impresed, and I really really like it. I've had it three days and charged it three or four times already, because I can't stop playing with that phone.
However, today I noticed the first thing that annoyed me, and it did so pretty instantly.
I was playing around in Sounds and notifications, and I enabled the hardware button click sound, (didn't enable the screen tapping sound), and noticed that most of the time the dialer would immediatly dial the last dialled number upon key press, the same effect as pressing the hardware pickup button twice very fast. After disabling the hardware button sounds, the issue was resolved, so I don't worry to much about it, but I'm curious if anyone can replicate this behaviour on his/hers HD2...
During all this playing with the dialer and accidently dialing numbers I noticed how I can't just select a number in the dialer, it automatically redials from my call list. So I never actually have to press that green "Talk" button, the call I select is just immediatly dialed. This is very annoying, als the context menu is only useful for the last call (or the first number on the list).
The dialer also 'quits to desktop' immediatly when I hang up by tapping the red end call button. No call summary? No need to close the dialer?
I was wondering abour your dialer behaviour: does is dial out on screen tap, or does it just select the number? How about ending calls?

Yes, I hate the dialler app. I only use it for dialling fresh numbers not in my contacts list, or my voicemail (press and hold #1#), otherwise I use the contacts app. The dialler does dial out on a screen tap and quitting the call returns me to the home screen.
So the "add new numbers to contacts after the call"-function doesn't work either? I assume it's a bug? I run v.1.48 , does the 1.43 ROM behave the same way? I didn't notice...
Thnx
Lukas
*bump*
Anyone running 1.43 ROM; is this behaviour same as on 1.48?
Hey guys,
I'm gonna bump it one more time.
Can someone with 1.43 take the 10 seconds it takes to check if they can select a call in the dialer without immediatly dialing it? If it's the same as on 1.48 I won't have to flash back to it and you'll save few hours of my time, which I would greatly appreciate.
Thnx again.
Lukas
I'm not sure what your on about, but if you mean when you press the hardware call button and the dialed list appears, if you want to open the caller you press the icon on the right hand side of the screen next to the callers/name number.
Tapping the name/number calls them.
This has always been the case in all ROM's not just Leo
I've had an HTC Touch Dual, and tapping the calls opened call history for that number, with left softkey being 'call'. Pressing the call hardware button would dial out as well.
Also, after pressing 'end call' my touch would display a call summary (call duration) and wouldn't quit to desktop immedietly so I had the time to dial another number as wel.
Thnx for answering tho... I appreciate it.
Grtz

It's by design.
You can tap the card icon instead of the number and it will open the card where you can tap the number you want to dial. I think it was done this way by design. No problems for me, save me a few taps for a call and when I end it.
Lukass,
No such issue on 1.48 WWE.
However, the tapping sound disappears after the 1st press of the green button. It reappears after pressing a different button though.

I have an HTC Mogul with the latest officially released ROM (WM 6.0). Whenever I finish a phone call, the onscreen phone keypad "collapses"; I then have to hit the left hardware button (whose function now reads "Keypad") to cause the entire, regular keypad (with all 10 buttons, *, #, etc.) to display again.
Is there a registry setting that will prevent the onscreen phone keypad from ever "collapsing" in the first place?
Thanks.
I'd also like to know if this is possible.
I also get annoyed when I call voicemail or some other automated number and have to take the phone away from my head to press the "show keypad" button... I would rather have it stay up...
same here!!!!
It's a pain to have to look at the phone screen and press SHOW KEYPAD each time I call in the voicemail or a company with a menu..... I'd really like if someone could tell me how to get the keypad to stay on the screen after we press the SEND key by default....
thanks!
So I did a little searching and couldn't find my answer. This should be an easy one for you guys.
I am new to Windows Mobile and when I receive an SMS from someone whose number I don't have stored it shows up in my conversation window with just the senders number.
example:
12131234567
"how r u?"
Now when I click the number to call the person back it won't let me. It says the number is not in your contacts, would you like to add it?
Here is the deal. What if I don't want to add it, I just want to call the sender to find out who the hell they are first. Can this be done? If so, how?
Highlight the number with the dpad and hit the call hard button?

that method does not work on my english x1i.
when i do that: highlight the number then hit the call button, when i hit the call button it just opens up the dialer and shows me the last call that i made.
You have to highlight it with dpad, not with touch screen. It is working without any problem on my UK X1.

thanks, wow. didn't know there was a difference between highlighting with touch vs with the d pad, but obviously so. thanks, that one was killing me though i still think its rather inconvenient to do it. i wish you could just tap the number and it gives you options with what to do with the number instead of having you do different actions to execute different tasks.
On my X1i Uk generic...
From the in-box just highlight(select) the message from the list with the D-Pad. If you use the touchscreen, the problem it will open it!!!
Then just hit the call button. it will open a window to verify number to dial and at the bottom of the screen it has a "Call " or "menu" soft button ....

To call even faster you can just use call button on unopend sms (for ex. you can read it, then close it fast with ok button and next hit call button to call this person).
The Take-Call/Answer button appears to haveseveral functions:
It switches to the phone app (Good)
It answers an incoming call (good as prevents having to use the slide)
It dials the last number in the Calls list display (bad)
I keep finding that I double-press the button by mistake and end up dialling someone without intending to do so.
Is there any registry hack that can eliminate this last function. I have tried using Mobile Magic to assign the key to "switch to phone app" but then I can't use it to answer an incoming call which is a bit of a pain.
Or do I need to find an alternative dialler?
personally I find that disabling the green button from answering calls is a good thing - it means that you don't accidentally press it when taking it out of your pocket for example! you could try AE Button Plus and set long press of the green button to "press green button" and short press to "launch program" -> "phone" that way if you accidentally double-pressed the green button it wouldn't call the person, but would still load the phone dialer and could still be used to answer calls, just holding buttn instead of pressing...
Closest solution I can think of...
Sounded promising - thank you. Unfortunately I can't get a long keypress to generate an "green button press". I have decativated the usual long-keypress action but still no joy.
I even tried implementing a "double keypress" for answer but it only works sporadically.
Slider for Calling?
The Take-Call/Answer button appears to haveseveral functions:
* It switches to the phone app (Good)
* It answers an incoming call (good as prevents having to use the slide)
* It dials the last number in the Calls list display (bad)

after my touch hd didn't make an international phone call of several minutes today from my pocket, I didn't realize how right were your words.
So, I unbinded the Green Phone Button with AEB Plus and I reassign "Key 1 (Press)" to act as Green Phone Button. From now only pressing for a while the talk/send button will actually call the dialer.
However, the most gentle touch on a contact in the default dialer will make a call... which most of the times really annoys. What would be really cool and solve many problems is to use a slider for making the phone call (not only for answering). I searched conscientiously in the forum and I found no solution.
An alternative solution would be to use other contact manager, like Yota Contacts, for example. But, having a slider for making a call would be so cool
Newbie here, getting used to my first touch screen phone and WM6.1/Touchflo on my HD.
First of all - this forum is GREAT! I have spent a week glued to it and has given me loads of helpful info during my transition from Nokia S60 to Touch HD.
However, there are 2 things I'd like to know:
1. Is it possible to remove the recent calls/contacts list from above the keypad on the phone dialer either through a registry change or using a different wvga dialer skin? It's too easy to accidentally press one of these and call someone I don't want to call. I am more than happy to press menu->call history to see the call history.
2. When you click on a name in the contacts list it goes straight to dial them (if there is only one number or you click in recent calls). Is there some kind of "confirm call" question add-on? i.e. if you click on a contact, instead of calling them straight away it asks you if you are sure! (This would actually be a solution to 1. above I guess).
I've been searching for hours for something like this so if it is already covered I do apologise for not finding it from searching (perhaps I am using the wrong terminology).
Thanks in advance.
Newton.
p.s. keep up the good work here!
First of all - welcome to the forum!
In terms of your questions....
Yes, this is an issue that has been discussed and as far as I know, no one has found a good solution for it. It is annoying that it automatically calls the contact you tap.
For your question Nr. 1: I don't know if that can be done.
For question Nr. 2: Here is a suggestion that I posted in another thread.
Keep in mind that the "recent calls list" above the number pad is the issue here.
On the other hand, if you simply open your contacts' list, then tapping on a name will not automatically call, but rather it opens the contact. Then, tapping on a number will call, and tapping on the name/picture at the top will open contact for editing.
1) I used AE Button Plus to solve this problem. Remapped the Green Button: One press -> Return , tripple press -> Green Button. Since then I had no calls by accident any more
P.S.: Changed from Nokia S60 (N73) to the Blackstone too ! Cheers!!!

Thanks for the reply and suggestion. Not sure what this actually means (we don't have a green button on Touch HD!!) but I'm going to download AE Button Plus and I'm sure I'll figure it out anyway.
Did you use the freeware version 1.0.1 or the paid for version 2.6.5 of AE Button Plus ?
EDIT: Just downloaded 2.6.5 and mapped green button triple press to green button and single press to nothing (I assume that's what you meant by "return") and yes, it prevents a single press of the hardware call button but does not seem to help accidentally tapping a contact in the recent calls list above the phone dialer keypad and dialing straight away. Perhaps you misunderstood what I was trying to do or I missunderstood your solution!!
Thanks

I'm noobie in android.Why when I'm finishing voice call with red button the phone stays on dialer page? When I end a call after red button press I wanna be immediately on home screen- just like in every different phones. Any chance to do that??
ROM build?
What type and whose ROM are you currently using...or USED during said issue?
I'm on Cyanogen's latest; this is not the case for myself upon ending a phone call. Do not double-click the end call, that typically freezes the phone's process of TRYING to send you back to the previous screen (i.e. - homescreen).
One-click does the trick. That rhyme was unintentional!
Also, if I might add - I'm talking about when I use the STANDARD DIALER, not a third-party application for contacts, call logs, and the dialer.
I found solution by my self and I'm very happy now!!! There is a little app called spare parts on the market. it gives additional settings. In settings "what end button do" i set go to homescreen then off. And this rocks!!! after first press od end button it goes to home screen , after second it turnes off
