Hello everyone!
I'm a fairly new owner of a TMO TP2 and so far really loving the phone. I currently just flashed the TMO official 6.5 upgrade and love it. I'm new to the world of phone modding and still trying to figure out exactly what I want my phone to do for me, lol. One of the things I do know is that I would like the ability to schedule my phone to automatically dial in to calls. Maybe farfetched, not sure, but I have a ton of conference calls I get on on a daily basis. I would love it if my phone could auto dial in to those calls for me in the case that I am driving and can't dial. Also, something small and hoping is fixable, I have contacts that are by company name instead of person's name. For some reason they show up with no name at all in my contact's list. Is there a way to get the phone to recognize to list by company name so that I can find the number alphabetically? And the last thing, is there an easier way to get rid of contact duplicates other than deleting one by one?
Thanks in advance for your help!

I have search high and low, but have not foudn this feature anywhere.
It is so convenient to have a software that can pick up the phone, play a message, then record it.
It is faster, easier, and you can keep the recording if you want!
i used to have this feature on my old phone, now I miss it...
anyone know of a software that does this?
no.
gigabyte has it on there wm5 phones:
http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=391825
I have seen one aftermarket app that did it also but cant remember the name of it.
It would be kewl if someone had a gigabyte one and could extract it from the extended rom and post it.
since your charged minutes for calling your voicemail to listen to it, this saves you airtime if you have a low minute plan.
try this
k7.net is a free service that provides you with a seattle number that you can use to receive voicemails and faxes. i set it up to send voicemails and faxes to my mda as email. at home i setup my voip phone to copy any voicemail to my mda too. now i get everything to my wizard.
hope this helps,

You'd think this would be a highly sought after feature.
The phone I had almost 3 years ago had this feature. I wonder why it is not so prevalent these days. It is so much quicker and easier than having to dial a voice mail service, or sync messages to the phone.
hmm, maybe this is somethign that should be developed?
Any takers?

Thanks for the thoughts, but I looked at the SMS answering machine before, and while it a novel program, it is really just an auto-responder, not an answering machine.
Thanks again, but I am really looking for something that actaully records voice messages.
:?
Alternative to answering Machine - CallWave
when someone leaves a message you get an email of the message that you can save. www.callwave.com
Ah, callwave is interesting, but alas, only in the US. I am in China now. Thats another reason I don't want to use voice mail. Navigating your voice mail in Chinese is sometimes very annoying.
I guess there is no real solution to this then? So sad, too bad. :?
I am looking for an app that lets me do stuff when certain incoming numbers (either a simple editable list or a selection of contacts) call..... essentially I want the phone to answer and then hang up immediately so the numbers don't get my voicemail, they just get rejected.
At the moment I have the contacts set with a silent ringtone so I don't get disturbed, but sometimes I get voicemails from them and I want to prevent these.
I have had a look at Mortscript and can find how to handle incoming calls, just not how to handle incoming calls from specific contacts in specific ways.
Any help appreciated
go to www.youmail.com
i like this free service and it handles caller id calls more efficiantly than any software you can purchase.
Thanks for the link, unfortunately it's US only and I'm in the UK.
CallFirewall does exactly that what you need.
Try this:
http://www.mobiion.com/magicall.html
It does everything you asked, and a whole lot more.
+1 for magicall... it rocks
Thanks for the links guys, downloading them both now
Call Firewall didn't quite do the trick as I could only get it to go to voicemail, but Magicall does 100% what I want, plus more, so I promptly coughed up the cash for it
Somewhere else on the forum there's a program what lets you make your own interface in html with js/flash. you can use that and make javascript countdown for x seconds and than let it pick up and hang up... or whatever you want not the best solution but it still is a solution
Hello everyone
I recently bought the HTC Magic and I am very satisfied with the sync it does with the Google apps, which is really seamless.
What I would really like though is being able to call numbers directly from calendar entries. I have names of clients, followed by their numbers as calendar entries.. Does anyone know if there is any way I could do that? Is there an app maybe out there that could do that?
Can anyone point me to a developer who could maybe program that?
So far the only solution I have found is to ask Google to sent me an SMS reminder with my appointment. The SMS is clickable and the telephone numbers inside the SMS are callable as well. But I don't want to be doing that, since I am making a lot of calls everyday.
Thank you all for your time and help

When I had my Nexus you go to contact press menu and you were able to have individual ringers for everyone without having to resort to a 3rd party app, how do I do this on the Vibrant, and for those of you douche bags yes I read the manual and no its not in there
I've never been stumped like this and I'm sure its gonna make me feel dumb when someone tells me but I guess we all get to feel a little retarded every once in a while
Weird - I can't find it. WTF?

Play a song. hit the menu button, set as -- personal ringtone.
Doesn't work that way either, it only gives you the option to make it the main ring tone or to add a ring tone to a new contact not an existing one, this is kind of weird

I think since they took over the contacts app with Touchwiz, this is something that got left out? I'd hate for that to be the case. I have noticed it's very easy to merge contacts, so maybe a workable workaround for this workaround would be to create a new contact for the ringtone and then merge the other contacts into this new one? Would it stick this way? It's a shame if we're going to be discovering that we're losing basic Android 1.0 capabilities due to Touchwiz, because otherwise, I love what they've done with it.

Ok, this is going to stink but I found this workaround. Contacts must be on the phone tab in order to have individual ringtones, which sometimes works sometimes not. What I did was sync my work email via exchange, then I exported all the contacts as vcards to an empty SIM and then imported them to the phone.
I just did it, when it asks you to make a new contact, just name it the same as an exsisting contact and dont put a phone number in, it merged the 2. A little bit of an extra step, but if you want it to scream "BIG BOOTY HOES" when your girl calls....
Kind of stupid to have to go through all this for something so simple Ide rather just have one ringer than go through all this crap. i have way too many ringers for so many contacts, man this blows
Yep, I called Tmo cust srvc, and they had no idea how to fix it other than enter all your contacts back into the phone manually.
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.

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
