When going to the phone dialler, you can tap out the name of a person but it does not give you the option to call any of the associated numbers. Seems to only come up with one number (probably the first in the list).
This was coming up wrong for a few people I call a lot so I set their default number. I now don't know how to deselect the default number (so there is no default). I want to do this because when I add a short cut to a person on the desktop, it will give a drop down list of numbers to call if there is no default but dials the default number automatically if it does have a default number.
Seems really bizarre. I would have expected:
Being able to call any number when entering a name from the dialler (with the default number first if it has been set).
Being able to call any number from a person short cut regardless whether a default number is set or not.
Being able to remove a default number from a contact.
Any help or workarounds will be greatly appreciated.
TIA
I am on JM2 and I don't have this problem. Whenever I start typing the name of a contact, it appears, I press on it and all the number are there to choose...
That's promising. Are you able to confirm if there is a way to remove the default number selection from a contact once it has been set? Thanks.

everytime if i want to dial IDD, i have to recall the number from contact, then manually key the number with the prefix. this is an annoying function. any suggestions?
How do I change the default number that is displayed when using the smartdialler, eg when I key in a contact it shows up their mobile, how can I change it so that it's their home number as default?
Thanks
Changing Default Number
The built-in Contacts applications displays the work phone number of a contact as the default phone number on the main screen when you are viewing the list of all the contacts. If you want, you can change the default phone number that is displayed with the contact name on the main screen. To change it, tap on the single alphabet letter that appears next to the phone number of the contact in the contacts list. The letter is usually w (that corresponds to the work phone), but can also be h, m, c, r, or e (that correspond to home, mobile, car, radio phone, or e-mail address respectively). When you tap on the single letter, a drop-down will list all the phone numbers and e-mail addresses that you have entered for that contact. The default listing for the contact will have a bullet in front of it. You can tap on any phone number or e-mail address in the drop-down list to make that the default listing for that contact.
I chose a contact as a shortcut. If a contact has multiple numbers, when I click on the shorcut and click on the phone icon, it will ask "remember this choice" for default. Well... I want my calls to this person to have a default number, but I want the default SMS number to be different, but it doesn't do it. When I choose a default CALL number, it uses that as the SMS default number.
Anyone notice this? Anyone know a fix? Thanks

Have you tried going to the individuals contact and long pressing the desired numbers to set them as the defaults that you want?

You can't do that from the contact shortcut (I created a shortcut on my phone's desktop by holding down on the desktop, then choosing shortcut, then choose contact; that's where the I'm having the problem)
Once I choose a default in the contact's shortcut (on the desktop), it uses tha default for both CALLS and SMS. In my situation, I want the Home phone number to be default for calls, but the cell phone number for SMS.
On my windows mobile 6.1 phone I can just hold the number in the Call History and it will ask if I want to copy the number one of my contacts. I can't see how to do this with the HD2. Very frustrating, try anything on the main phone screen it calls them, try anything on the call history screen it calls them and I can't see a option for it on the menus for the phone app or the Call History.
I do see a setting: "Save to Contacts" - "Save new number when call ends" It is on and the number in the call history is listed as unknown but I don't see a new contact and in this case I want to add the number to an existing contact.
Help.
Thanks.
in the call history list, tap the small contact card icon at the right end, which makes all the tabs specific to that caller. you "should" (fingersa crossed) now be able to save or update.
edit yep, works.
I know in most Android phones there is a way to set a phone number as the default for a contact. I don't see a way to do that with the preloaded contact list. Is it just the order of the phone numbers in their contact card? If so, is there an easy way to change the order rather than deleting and re-adding them in the order you want?
Go into a contact.
Menu Button.
Mark as default.
Select number.
Voila.
