One of the most annoying "features" in almost every ROM I tried (and I tried a lot!) is that if you are in Manila's SMS or e-mail tab and press the call button (in order to open the dialer).. then the dialer will automatically dial the displayed e-mail or SMS sender's number.
Does anybody know how can this be disabled ?
Bump!
I start feeling that I'm really special - am I the only one having a problem with this ?
I have the same problem. And it is soo frustrating, i press the phone button and immediately have to press the end call button. Then type in the number i want to ring.
Someone notice this thread! It is probably an easy problem to fix for you experts...please help:d
Bump!
I would appreciate the solution as well.
Bump!
This problem is driving me nuts....I keep ringing the wrong people by mistake

Hi all,
Do you guys know if there's any option to simply call the sender of an sms without adding him or her to the contacts first?
It's amaizing how MS just left some of the most basic phone features out of this stuff.
Thanks
Andrew
when you have the notification in view... bottom-right, Menu > Call Sender
Does that not appear for you?
ah I haven't seen that. i just saw that there was no way to call the sender when i go to my old sms's.
thanks though
Ahh okay.. yes, it's stupid that they didn't add that to any menu... however:
1. select the message
2. hit the green (talk) phone button
phone app with the phone number of the SMS (if it was sent along) should appear
3. hit the green phone button again
should dial
Thanks!!!
as often - it's the most simple thing

Hi there,
on my Trion PPC with WM5 I have tried to work out a way to mark an SMS as read, without opening the messaging app by the push of one hard key. So far I couldnt get it to work. Has anyone come across a way do it ?
Reason is, that on WM5 the message self displays for a while upon reciept, so no need to futher open the Messaging.
Greetings
Paddy
nice idea. i am also planning on adding this option for the application im creating.
any ideas?
upon receiving a notification, right soft button, and select 'save as read..'. Doesn't open the messaging apps, but not a 1 button solution.
The soft button way is obvious, but thats several clicks. Does anyone know how to assign a command under a short menu to a button ?
A One touch solution is what we need, its so anoying having to do so many steps each time you get the new sms pop up.
Greetings
Paddy
I would do it like noted above.. Add a button to the menu's of the notification .. and let it invoke a dll or application which uses MAPI functions to mark the sms as read.
Okay so I've been using the G1 for about a month now and since I can't find answers to these questions in the forums and I can't find any apps to help me, I thought it best just to be direct and lay it out for all you android genius' out there.
1. Very annoying that every time I hang up a call the screen locks. I still want to use the screen lock feature but I don't want it to happen every time I hang up the phone.
2. I'd like a quick way for calling the default number of a contact listed in the contact's list. If I tap the contact it takes me into the full contact information screen and then I have to pick the number to call. It would be nice if I could bring up the list of contacts or just begin typing a name anywhere in the OS (thereby bringing up the contact list) and simply select a name and have it dial somehow.
3. Is there a way to reprogram the volume control buttons on the side? It's in a very annoying position and while playing a game or running an app I constantly brush up against those buttons and the ringer volume pops up and messes up my gameplay.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please form your questions in the form of a question.... Anyways..
1. My screen doesn't completely lock after a call, just press menu once afterwards and it is right back to where it was (for incoming calls), and for outgoing I don't think it even takes that - just pop back to where it was before I made the call.
2. If you long press on a contacts default phone number you can set it as the default phone number, then when you have that contact selected in your list just press the call button and it initiates a call with the default number. Doesn't get much easier than that. To clarify you don't even have to open the individual contact, just highlight it in your contacts list.
3. That would probably have to be an app specific option, but I don't know if that is even possible.
Why do you not use anycut and create a shortcut for your contact
Contacts not contact.
I don't want to have to make an anycut shortcut to every contact in my address book.
What I'm asking here is:
Is there any way to just simply tap a contact and have it call them. Is there a way to turn off the feature that locks the screen when you just tap the red phone button (for example maybe holding it down to lock so that when I just tap to end a call, it simply ends the call instead of also locking the screen).
All my questions revolve around doing in 1 click what most of you are suggesting doing in 2-3 clicks. Who wants to have to hit menu and end call every time you hang up? Single actions have been used since the invention of the phone for hanging up. Silly to have to click something 2-3 times to end a call without locking your phone.
I recently bought a HTC HD2 and like the phone a lot. I have a problem with SMS and whenever I search for the problems with SMS they are all old and about lag which obviously was a big problem. Mine isn't as big of problem but is extremely annoying.
When I get a new message, whether on the lockscreen or not. If I use the navigation tabs to view the SMS (which you have to do from the lockscreen), I am 90% of the time directed to an older message in the conversation and not the NEW message. So then I have to scroll up to view the new message.
This is extremely annoying and I know I cant be the only one to have this problem, but it is definitely hard to search for this because it is hard to describe. Please someone help.
Also, would there be a way to go from the new SMS slider on the lockscreen directly to "All Messages" so you can bypass seeing the sms on the white sheet of paper and then having to click that to answer. Its a lot of steps for nothing.
same problem here, on Miri's ROM. it is annoying (as is the fact that when i start writing a text, after a couple of seconds the focus moves out of the text entry field, and hence i can't type any more without clicking in the field again.
not found a solution to either of these.
I've seen a thread about this yesterday I think
Anyway, just disable the SMS tab... If you do that, tapping the notification will open the Messaging application.
i suspect going to an old message from lockscreen is caused by the same thing that makes appointments stay on the lockscreen for a while after they have ended. basically the lockscreen controls poll the registry for the info that is displayed, but it doesn't update itcontinually.just now and then
I disabled the sms navigation tab and that seems to work better. The SMS app is still not as smooth as i would like it to be but what can you do...
Dear, This thread already posted. search for smstimestampfixer 1.3.cab. gud luck
for windows mobile on the htc snap/maple... im wondering if there is a registry edit or other trick to make the Send button from the home screen show only the call log without contacts. after pressing it, you can select calls or calls and contacts from the menu but it never remembers this, so im wondering if i can change the default behavior. i find the contacts kind of redundant because they are only one button away from the home screen anyway. thanks in advance!
