when i go into the contacts menu, choose a contact and press the number to dial, instead of going straight into dialing mode which it did before the rogers update, it now displays the number when clicking the number in which i have to press call, a whole extra step. Any ways to fix this?
i thought it should seen as a improvement?
now you can now always edit before call , previously you need to call first and edit the number from call list
Does it for me too, but as a lot of my contacts have two numbers I prefer it as I don't always tap the right number.

well, when I do travel, because of Roaming/Local numbers, I prefer the number showing up instead of call direct , STILL, I would like a fast way to call, I do at the moment 4 taps to it...
yeah, everyone has known about this one. But got this apk file from somewhere in the forum or the net (i dun remember)
hope everyone like it
yes
this is the one
the only one
thanks

Hi!
Is there a way (a tool or sthg like that) to add several numbers to a fav contact?
E.G. I added my wife to my favs but I can only chose to call our home number or her cellular. It is not possible to add her with our home number an add her additionally with her cellphone number. That´s annoying. It would be nice either to add a person twice with different numbers or once with a pop-up where you can chose the number to dial.
Has anyone a solution for that?
Regards,
insi
This is frustrating me as well. I want one person to appear twice on my People Favorites (one with her home number and one with her mobile).

When you select a person to add, it gives you the list of contact methods. Just select "View contact card".

You're welcome matey
Having both!
If you add a favourite with any number, and you press the image itself, it will call the pre-assigned number. But if you tap on the name just below, you will get the contact card.

re: having both
nice tip, these should both be in the tips sticky.
Hi all,
I am with Rogers and just upgraded to R2BA020. I notice previously from tapping a contact number contacts, it can dial out directly. But now it is extremely annoying that I tap the contact number, it puts the number into the dialer (screen with dialing pad), then I hit the call to dialout.
Does anybody find the dial from contacts behaviour changed?
Is there a dialer that can completely replace the stock one?
Thanks
i haven't received any updates for my phone yet, but that sounds more hassle to make a call now. maybe this change is for people who complained about accidentally tapping on the number and it calls out when they did not intend to do so. mind as well just tap and hold on the contact's name and select make a call to mobile/home/office
Meh, that doesn't seem too bad, but it is annoying nonetheless. I think if you dial, and put the phone by your ear, it should use the proximity sensor to realize it should start calling.
Android Variations: Check em out!
Yes, i too noticed this ! Funny instead of making the call process easier its now actually longer !
The workaround is to go to ur phonebook & long press the contact to call.
yup, long press can skip the dialpad but it brings up another box to click through before calling....
I have never came across a phonebook with any phone that is 2 clicks before it dials. It is just pure annoying. They got it right the first time, I don't know why SE messed it up now.
yeah, i have a rooted x10a to the 23 firmware, and its taking me to the dailer after i hit my contact's number. this is rather annoying, we gotta find a fix for it!!
Yes I noticed that too. I find it annoying. Is there a work around to this?
I use another dialler called aTAKEphONE, it will dial directly.
There is a trial available at shsh.com
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.

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!
Hi guys, I've just moved over from iphone so still finding my feet with android.
For the most part android is far superior but the contact side of things is still bugging me. This is what I want to be able to do:
1. Have my call log as calls only, not texts. I know you can change this to view calls received, dialled etc, but it soons defaults back and shows everything. I just want my log to have dialled and received and nothing else? I'm sure i've read somewhere on the net that this was possible on the SGS through a hack??
2. I want to set up a favourites list of say best mate, gf, work etc and just be able to press their name and it dials there number, not opens another window that shows history, text option, dial option video call option, i.e. just direct dial. I also would like this to be the first screen that opens when I press my phone icon on the dock??
I've set my gf up on my desktop as a direct dial shortcut, but I don't want to be doing that for everyone. I've got a load of contacts but maybe only dial 10 at most on a regular basis.
are there any hacks or thrid party dialers that do this??
Cheers

I can help you with #2. Just swipe right on your favorite and you call that favorite immediately. Swipe left to immediately send a message.

hmmm, can't say i can see a way around No.1, other than using a new dialer/contacts app such as Go Contacts or Dialer One etc..
must say, i actually quite like the comprehensive log, coming from Sense and Stock roms with calls only, i like having it all in one place...
Dialer One would be my choice, but only as i used it on CM7 on my Hero for its smart dial feature... can't comment on Go Contacts
hope this helps
Dickie
I use loads off texts a day so within 10 mins of dialling someone their details are long gone
I'll check out Go Contacts and Dialer One though, thanks for the recommendations
This is a Samsung thing, regular android does not put texts with the call log. I don't think I'd like them to be combined like that.
it is the right thing to do

I like them combined. There again, there could be an option to control it.
Go Contacts is just the ticket
Thanks guys, much better now
Sorry for this rant but I am finding it more difficult to live with these Issues everyday..
1. The call history list all calls (dialed, missed, received) and Messages as well! this is annoying, I dont want to see my message history in my call log, and there is no way to hide it except to view by just one call category, Dialed, missed or received.
2. Dialing a contact by name from the phone key pad, I can only search by the First name and not by second name, On my htc Desire/HD I could very well search by any of the names listed for a contact but unable to do so on this phone, this is really annoying as well.
3. Pull down notification bar would not work in the middle of a call unless I go to the home screen.. not cool.
If anyone knows a work around or other roms that addresses these issue please feel free to recommend.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for this , definitely prefer this to stock dailer ...
Try "Dialer One" from the market, it works very similar to the htc desire. And is very customable.
