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?

Is there an easy way to attach a number belonging to a received call to an existing contact item?
Yes click on call history, then click on the number and a menu should appear - save to contacts - voila!

It has been a deam of PPC users but till now there isn't a direct way to add a number in call history to an existing contact.
I know. It really sucks. Why do they assume that every call without a name tag is a new contact. Maybe a fix in WM6
Sorry misunderstood you - i know this sucks, ha ha but we are use to it, its microsoft after all lol
I put a phone number down in the notes of my appointment by mobile outlook, and when the reminder pops up, I just want to click and dial the number -- not select it, activate the dialer, then menu>paste and finally dial.
In my old blackberry, all I had to do was enter, 'tel:555-1212' and it would automatically convert it to a link -- click on it and the number was automatically dialed.
Is there an equivalent in WM5?
Also, I noticed that I can't just send ANOTHER text msg to someone in my sent box -- reply sends a message back to ME. Forward has me enter the previous number again. Am I missing something?
Interesting, a friend of mine and myself are also interested in this feature !

Tried it. Doesn't work on my phone. Is it supposed to?
Did you add a space or line feed/return after the telephone number? Mine doesn't create a link until one of those is entered.
That works, thou I thought about something else.
I'm using Pocketbreeze and what would be great would be to be able to call persons you added in the list of persons included "add person..."
like to be able to choose from a list when the notification appears.
Guess that's not possible atm
I think that that has been requested over at SBSH's forums but I don't remember if it was a planned addition or not. However, if Amit responded like he usually does, he will probably add it at some point if he can.
As far as PB, if you have PB set to show the note icon next to appts or tasks, you can tap on the note icon and it will open the preview window. Tap on the link and it will dial as well. No opening your PIM needed.
One other thing, you can also create a direct link to email as in the example below:
MailTo:[email protected]
Did you notice that it's not possible to add a missed call/received call/outgoing call number to an existing contact in the address book using the dialer app?
You can't even copy and then paste the number manually into the address book. So, you have to memorize the number, or write in in a paper, and then editing the contact.
What a piece of crap.

Sorry but what are you talking about?
Do you have the correct firmware actually?
I mean you can perfectly add any number to contacts,
I do it all the time. The dialer is perfect BTW.
And actually all the new numbers from dialer can be simply written in Notes and copied from that.
I honestly don't know what is the problem with your device
but it's certainly not true.

BTW, You can't copy/paste numbers from the dialer app into any other application.
And I've have MR2 firmware.
And in the Xperia X1, you can add a new number from the dialer to an existing contact (a contact that's ALREADY on the address book, not a new one).

Jolo I'm sorry but something is wrong with you or your phone.
I can add any new number from Dialer to Contacts.
I don't see a reason of adding existing contact....
And you can YES copy the number from the dialer to notes.

You receive a call from an unknown number.
You answer it, and you notice that it's Mr. John Smith, one of your clients. You already have the Mr. Smith contact on your address book. But, this number is new because he has a new cellphone or a new cell line.
So, you might want to add this new number to the ALREADY existing Mr. Smith contact.
BUT YOU CAN'T.
It's that difficult to understand?
In other phones, even my old Z750, or the X1, or of course the iPhone, you can do it.
If you can do this, can you please tell me how to do it?
And not, i've tried again and YOU CAN'T COPY A NUMBER FROM THE DIALER.
Jolo.
Yes this is a crappy bug. My phone behaves the same as Jolo complained.
However there is a workaround.
Can you imagine a bug that also has a bug? Well this one has. In Phone app, go to menu>options>advanced and tick add new phone number to Contacts at the end of the call. When this box is checked, at the end of the call you will be prompted to add the number and yes it allows you to select an existing contact to add the number to.

Every WM device has that too.
should you try this?
from dialpas screen:
menu/tool/options/advance = tick to ADD NEW PHNOME NUMBER TO CTC AT THE END OF CALL.
after your phone call - x2 ask do you wanto to add, it will come up default wm6.5 contact and you can easilyyyyyy add it ...
happy trying

It works here fine.
Ok so the fact is you can copy numbers from Dialer to Notes
but only in the space you actually write number, not from the history.
And I usually add numbers from this prompt so I didn't see that adding from the history makes a new contact.
It's interesting if it's a general WM 6.5.3 thing though.
Can someone clarify if WM7 will show both the full name and company for incoming calls.
I save all my contacts in outlook and use the File As to show both Person & Company i.e. John Smith(ABC Ltd).
I have over 1500 contacts for work and it's one of the features that has kept me with Windows for years.
I've tried Android and that doesn't do it. Iphone doesn't do it. Nokia doesn't do it - Not sure about Blackberry.
Also does WM7 have smart dial - I'm sure I read that it didn't, again it's a feature that's kept me with Windows, I have a shocking memory and being able to dial by first name, last name, company or telephone number is invaluble.
Cheers
Pete
For me it shows only 1st and last name + picture if available. Company info is a no go as long as you don't incorporate it in the contact name itself as I usually do.
Smartdial: No. But searching the contact list is easy. Just type 2-3 letters and you have narrowed the results enough. I'm saying this with 700+ contacts.
...I very much like to use voice dial, too. Very reliable, in fact, and fast.

That's really dissapointing - as a business tool I find it so very useful.
I guess I'll have to stick with 6.5 until something else similar comes along.
how did get a picture too show i have wm7 on my phone sine dec, and all show is first and last name with number. is there something need too do too get a picture to show thanks
Dear All,
I'm experiencing very strange issue with my WP7 HTC HD2, when receiving call form my saved contacts.
Almost all my contacts are saved in my phone with international dialing code as I'm living abroad.
When I receive call abroad, the name of my contact is displayed.
When I receive call at home the name is not displayed, only the number is displayed and I dont know who is calling while the number is saved in my phone with international dialing code.
To have the name displayed I have to save the number again without international dialing code.
I have the same issue when I dialing also.
Please help.

Apply the following registry and it will solve your problem:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Phone]
"CallIDMatch"=dword:7

Try with the method described here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=907169
It works perfectly!
When I am in messages (for example) and click on a contact then click on call - some come up with several numbers and others just dial the mobile number...
Now i am sure that i have never clicked the "remember this choise" checkbox... but for 90% plus of my contacts (out of the ones with multiple numbers) it just dials the mobile number without asking me what number to dial! - also on the few contacts that do ask me what number to dial they also seem to have a default action of "call mobile"
just wondering if anyone knows why this is happening? or how to un-remember the number that has been selected
Thanks
Kris
