Can anyone help or is it the phone. When I call someone you can press the home button and go to other applications, like messaging, mediascape, etc. But if press the dialler button, or retreive call in the notification bar, you can only get that call. How do you access the contacts menu? I needed numbers of people twice and I couldn't go into them without dropping the call first.....
WHen you're on a call and you press the home button... the calls still working in the background and from there then you can press the application screen and then select phonebook, and scroll through your contacts there. Hope that helped.
Yeah, don't click on the Dialer to check your contacts in the middle of a call, go to Phonebook instead in the Apps list.

Hi Everyone,
I switched to the Mogul from my old iJam TMO phone. With the old Windows Mobile 2003 system, in phone mode, when I press the "up" button, the phone opens the call history. This makes it very easy to make calls without searching contacts or using more actions to dial a number of get to call history via the menu.
In WM6, I noticed that the "up" button won't automatically open call history. I need to use Menu->Call History. Can the button be set up within the phone feature so the "up" button opens call history?

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.

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.
How do I remove a call log?
It seems that there is only an option to remove all call logs.
u sure there is no 'delete' from the menu? u can try touch and hold that entry and it should bring up a menu with 'delete' in it (if u are using stock ROM)
Thanks for your reply. I'm using Miri WM 6.5 V23.
When I touched and hold, nothing happened. But if I released touch, it'll call to that number. The menu has only Filters and Clear call logs (which will clear all logs).
Highlight the call, select 'Open Call History', then highlight the call again, then Menu, then delete call.
Or if the call has no contact, select number, menu, open call, menu, delete call.

hello.
i am unable to look for contacts during an active call.
may be i am unware of hw to do tht, but would be highly greatful if sumone helps me out in sorting this out..
Instructions to veiw contacts while on a Call.
while on the call screen,
1. Press Menu button on bottom left.
2. Tap "Add Call"
3. Then look @ bottom of the screen and you should see contacts, along with call log and other options.
Or the easier way is to use the Google Search bar.
Its on my home screen.
Send a message if you don't understand, or still have problems and I will call you to walk you through it, while on the phone with me

Hi,
While making a phone call, the mute is enabled automatically when I press the 'add' button (right button) which shows me the contacts list.
I want to be able to see contacts information and read them to the person I'm talking with.
Any ideas?
