Hello.
I am new in Android waters.
As a skilled user of many types of WinMobile devices I am missing few things in Android and here is one of them:
In dialer,I cannot lookup contacts with accented characters. For example,I cannot directly dial "Štefan" name,because it doesn't fit to "PQRS" button. Only way is to dial it from contacts.
WinMobile it could do it many years.
Is there any way,how to implement these characters into T9 method?
Thanks.

hi,
i know this software exist but am not sure what the software is called.
By basically, inputting the destination numbers say (the first 4 or 5 numbers) it will bring back the names on your list, the more numbers you input the narrower the search becomes. Almost like the SMS texting function.
I need to search for contact names instead of ringing the entire number first.
cheers,
james
The default IntelliDialer does that.
yes there is a software...
Hello jimjamz!
Simply use the search funktion of your pocket pc... type in as many numbers as you want and then search. You will find the contact, the number belongs to...

Hey,
Does anyone know if it is possible, through the supplied T-Mobile 2.26 ROM or third party software, to create custom contact fields? For example, say I want to have one contact called Papa John's Pizza and inside that contact have three fields named Anytown, Springfield, and NYC each with a number. As it stands now I have to either make a seperate contact for each location or have one contact and make each location say home, work, and work2. The latter choice makes it near impossible to remember which number goes to which office. I have many contacts that have multiple numbers that do not fit neatly into the supplied fields. On my old S60 phone this was quiet a simple task but I just can't seem to figure it out on WM5. Thanks for the help.
You can use IneSoft Address Book to add custom contact fields. The extra fields will be save as Note.
To mark a phone number you can put the text inside the phone number itself. E.g.
Work: +123456789 (Springfield)
or even
Work: Springfield +123456789
where "Work:" is the field name provide by Contacts application. You can use any character that can't be dialed (e.g. not a digit, * or #). Though some letters may cause problems, e.g. 'p' may mean 'pause'... I write my comments in Russian and therefore has no such problems
I use this solution for a long time. It is not specific to an OS or application.
And yes, IneSoft Address Book is good, not only for additional fields! This was the first application I purchased for my TyTN.

This would be really neat if Voice Commander 1.6 would recognize it, but it doesn't.
Does anyone know if there is a reg hack for selecting contacts with no phone numbers from the smart dialer in WM6. I would be totally happy with the search feature if I could search all of my contacts. I use my contacts as a means of organizing lots of information and many entries do not have phone numbers and are therefore not searchable via this interface.
Does anyone know where in the registry this is possible or if it is even possible to do? This would be the fastest most effective way to select a contact if we could correct this issue.

Use EZDial by MESoftware.

Just tried it and ezdialer does NOT find contacts with no phone numbers. I currently use pocketCM and it works quite well but still lacking some features that I require. Ideally the reg hack if possible would solve all issues until pocketCM is fully functional.
You guys are my last hope before I update my phone and give this one to my sister. I am still searching for a the reg hack that will enable me to use the smart dialer to view contacts that have no phone #'s. Anyone
What's the quickest way of selecting a contact from the contact list by name, if I don't want to scroll through all 600 of my contacts to find them? I could flip open the hardware keyboard, but is there a way of popping up the soft keyboard so that I can type the first couple of letters of their name?
There are dialer apps where you can search via t9. Dialer One is one of them, and so is GO Contacts.

I tried the others and TouchPal Dialer worked and looked best for me.
If I'm on any of the homescreens, I just tap the search button and enter the first few letters of the contact. It also works when in the contacts list.
do you have HTC Sense on your phone? if you do, you can use the numbers that have the letters of the contact you want to search. for example if you want to search for adam, you press 2326 and it pulls up adam
If you have the Google search widget on your desktop you can tap the "g" and tap contacts to search from there using the soft keyboard.
I'm just venting here, but I actually find it quite ridiculous that the vanilla dialer on android does not have smart dialing. The vanilla dialer is useless.

I'm curious about the dialer behaviour. When I use the T9 dialer, I know a contact has several numbers. However, the dialer only gives me one number. Is that expected?
I found a very stupid work-around: I shuffled the order in which the numbers were stored. so I deleted all numbers so that the mobile number was first, and then the house/fax/work. Now the T9 only gives me the mobile number.
Do you guys have any suggestions? recommendations? tips or tricks?
