Calling from contacts list

This maybe a dumb question but how do you make a phone call from the contacts list ? I go to the contact I want to call, and when I tap call home or call mobile nothing happens. If I tap send txt or email, that works fine. the only way I can make a call is to either manually type the number in, or if I go to my contact, then tap menu, and tap video call then it will make the phone call.
Thanks in advance for any feedback

I had this on one of the ROMs I was trying. Sorry I can't remember which one it was. Now on Dutty's W6.5 R14 and it works fine.
Cheers

thanks for the feedback . I noticed there's a 6.5R14 turbo and a 6.5R14(MSVC) I know the MSVC has voice command, what's in the turbo version ?

Supposedly faster than previous roms, so Throy called it Turbo. Rom doesn't have MSVC and a few other apps on previous versions aren't installed

It's the R14 Turbo one (non-MSVC) that I'm currently using. Calls from contacts list works fine!

This function should work from most if not all roms, so I wouldn't jump in head first and flash a rom. First ask in rom thread for a solution, and then if you want to flash a rom, choose one which best suits you. Throys R14 rom is a very old rom now and there is much improved bersions available

I am using the WM dialer, and have the same problem. which contacts list? via the contacts tab on touchflo, or start menu>contacts?
The workaround is to use the latter...

R14 only came out on September 19th, so it's not that old. Unless you mean the original ROM it's based on?? I've tried lots of different ROMs and it's not really lacking in anything that's in other stuff. Works for me anyway, like the Leo ones too, but didn't find them as stable.
Like you say though, best to find whatever suits you best.

Sorry if i ask on this post but i made a lot of search to get this when i travel i have problem when call someone i have to edit country codes of all my contacts, so it must be something done for calling out of country without editing every time the country codes.
So is anyone knows how to make that

[SOLVED] phone bug with miri 1.2 and dutty

After flashed Dutty Miri or restored only contacts the service MyPhone pimbackup. Send or receive a phone call from people fav the phone goes crazy: I can not open dialer, the phone does not react to incoming calls and exit from standby is slow. sometimes by pressing a hbutton from standby only LEDs are activated and I have to hold endkey for 2 seconds to reactivate the HD2.
To restore the phone function must Softreset.
One way to reproduce it is to make a call from a fav people number and answer on hd2, hang up and quickly and hang up on HD2 too.
Please someone can do tests to find out what is wrong?
I hope I made myself understood, despite my English
New build have issue with Sandisk 8gb ! now with a kingstone all work, and the sandisk works in my hd.
Format dont solve,hw issue!

My phone work fine in 2 roms but I like dutty rom.

yesterday i flashed the miri 1.2
i will let you know after some use

Not being rude, but you will get a better chance and better answer from posting in Miri's or Dutty's Thread. This is after all where you downloaded it from, and more users of that ROM will follow that thread.

There are some times probs when restoring backed-up data with some 3rd party programs, that's why I strongly advice you to back up everything you need/want with activesync and outlook plug-ins. In this case you will never have probs again no matter what rom you are using!!!
Hope that helped you
cheers

+1 never had a problem!i am using Miri's right now and i've used many roms,always
restore contacts via outlook activesync!try syncing you contacts with outlook and make a hard reset and then activesync and restore contacts via outlook.

Can you keep discussions about particular roms in that roms thread please?
it's like someone coming to your house for dinner, then them suddenly running out into the street shouting to the neighbours that you left a bone in the fish or something..
It's a bit rude behaviour..

I think it is not ROM related but manila related. Im going to sync via ActiveSync and let you know...

cprog.exe bug?
ok, the problem is related to cprog(is it the phone application?)
just plaing with call(like make a call, hang up quikly and press the green send button on screen) make impossible to open dialer since softreset.

also Xannytech 1.1
I tried XannyTech 1.1 and same issue,just typing number randomly on dialpad and it freeze, other app works, but the dialer stop working and phone don't react at incoming calls.
Is it possible that is a bad flash of hspl?
RUU_Leo_HTC_ITA_1.48.408.1 works like a charm!

HD2 new email green blinking light

have anyone face problem with the green LED that should blink when new email arrives? all others like missed call, SMS works ok.
HTC support did not give me any real answer.
tried some tweaks but it is still not working.
any idea?

This doesn't work on anyone's HD2, regardless of ROM afaik. Plenty of folks have contacted HTC about it, but they have yet to officially acknowledge the problem, much less try to fix it.
Only 2 workarounds I'm aware of:
-use PhoneAlarm . The developer has made a special beta version that enables the blinking light.
-use this app by Netripper that makes the keypad LEDs light up when a new email arrives.

Thanks for information since HTC claims in their reply to me that all is OK with their SW and it works, which is not true.

Yeah, I had a big row with them about it.
They just kept claiming that if I sent my HD2 back to them they could flash it and fix it. They promised that they had it working on their handset.
I didn't want to send my unit back so they won this round

same situation with me but i would probably visit Taiwan soon and creat direct contact with their HQ so let's see how they respond once it comes from the mngmnt.

Cool! Go pound on their frigging desks for me, too!

it works for me and i just changed back to stock rom?

You're saying that you can change the settings in Sounds and Notifications to set the LED to flash for a certain number of minutes if you receive a new email?

It surely doesnt! Send yourself an Email right now and tell me again, that your LED next to the earpiece is flashing green...

its a shame because i will be returning my device for this reason. PA didnt work at all netrippers program works somewhat but the email has to be read in order cor the keypad fo stop blinking and thebother provram worms great 70% of the time but has too many bugs. that plus the slow loadingg music player is just too much i love winmo but i have learned to live with Android

checked it in the HQ during my visit there in Taiwan and they just told me that it works but when i asked to approach the support and show them it doesn't so they would fix it in my phone they just ignored and refused to meet me with 1 million excuses why not....
so the green led won't work for emails notification in my phone and with such working method in the HQ of HTC, i think that the Leo is my last HTC phone. :-(

Without a doubt they knew of this problem before the release. Even using android I'm still stuck supporting HTC. r

PhoneAlarm works perfect on my HD2. You just have to install version 2.32 build 405 (final). Version 2.40 didn't work on mine either.

That version worked for me as well but at least 2 out of 50 email faied to notify..

This was definitely my top gripe for a long time. Penguin over at PhoneAlarm wrote the modifications to fire the green LED when a new mail comes in. Since then, some of the clever folks over here at XDA have written their own apps to make this work.
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636439&page=14 This makes your keypad buttons blink when a new email arrives. Pretty clever, and works great.
- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=647875 (haven't tried this myself)

I do not like that all the kepad will look like X-MAS tree so i won't install the workaround app.
I gave up this issue and last week switched to Motorola Milestone....
You should try this Android and you would understand how far behind is the Leo

HD2: Not for texting! D:

you'd think HTC would have thought these devices through a little more, yeah? NO.
seeing as how i can't send a text message without a five second delay. i can't receive a text message without my phone freezing for ten. and god forbid i try and view one message while receiving another one, right?
also consider: the 1ghz processor, 16gb harddrive, 1024mb rom (on some devices), and this thing can't go five minutes without a hiccup? what the hell? D:
maybe my phone is just a screwed copy, but **** n' seriously. i just want to be able to have eye candy that operates decently. i thought that's what the HD2 was for, but it was a huge let down for me.
now, until HTC gets their crap in order and creates a better text engine, or someone ports android over to the HD2, guess what guys? we're F&%KED.
so, enlighten me, xda friendlies. are there additional text engines for the HD2? different programs to use, for faster typing and flawless send/receive features? cause until then, i'm inserting my sim card into my iPhone, as much as i hate apple itself with a burning passion, at least it texts somewhat better.
cause seriously, if i can't even stand to use my own phone, what the hell is the point?
intelligent responses only, go take your immaturities somewhere else.

Have you tried a Custom ROM?

At least try the new upgrade
If your not ready for custom ROM (like me) try the upgrade.
Worked for me, resolving apparently (its still early) all of my previous problems with the phone- like yours.
Good luck. I think this is a good machine, just has a few bugs- thats normal.

i've tried Energyrom GTX version. fully updated. and i didn't like it.
it came with a crap load of extras, and i liked that, but the text messaging was back to the version before the HD2, the very same i dealt with on the TP2. didn't like it for some reason.
are there any custom roms that you approve of? if so, please, link me to the page so i can test them out for myself. and thanks in advance.

great machine. too buggy of an OS. not saying others are flawless, but i'd rather not have the only flaws in it related to the major thing i do with the phone. and i have upgraded to the rom that t-moUS release just a week ago. it's still pretty slow for me, considering my fingers move too fast for the keyboard to pick up on. i've already registry edited the lengthymessage thread, making it so the cache is always enabled, and somewhat speeding the system up a little bit when viewing the message itself. but typing is still very slow, and it's driven me up three walls, and back again.
does the text system and keyboard operate faster when SenseUI is disabled, using only the homescreen? cause if so, maybe i can deal with that, too. sense is nice, but not everything.

Try the upgraded ROM. I didnt have that much trouble but it has improved immensely! I can run CHT Again!

Yeah, try the upgrade. I am a major texter, and the new client works perfectly for me.

i have never had an issue with texting on my hd2, i went from the stock shiped to the upgraded 2.13 and never had an issue, now using elegancia 8.5 and still no issues.

THANK YOU, YOU GUYS!
i know i'm not the only poor guy out there suffering from bad HD2 messaging. so this is helping more than just me. =]
PLEASE! keep the answers coming.​

To be more specific its rom upgrade 2.13, I assume youre still on the stock rom, the new tmous rom upgrade is 2.13, I myself have a custom rom, cleanex uniQ and it comes with the new messaging client and it also doesnt have the junk load of apps on it either just google rom upgrade 2.13, and im sure youll be satisfied with the text messaging I know I am, hope this helps a little buddy

alright, i will check the energyrom page again and investigate. but if i go with energyrom, i would choose the second version which has the taskbar at the bottom of the screen. hopefully this, as well, has the messenger that i need.

i would just divert back to 2.10 which you can get from xmoo's stock ROM thread. 2.13 had me to the point where i wanted to throw my phone at the wall. its incredibly easy to downgrade. an although i gotta be deleting txt after every 20 from a contact.. id rather deal with that then have an extremey slow freezing 2.13 messaging app. i agree with you that its shameful that such a hardware capable phone has such a ****ty messaging app

thank you for seeing this as well, my friend. but keep in mind. i'm a texter. i like keeping my messages. i have a 516 message chain with my girlfriend. and i eventually clear them out, but not willingly. i shouldn't have to clean out my text messages to make my phone operate smoothly. so a good suggestion, but not for me. thanks =]

okay so, i tried out the energyrom with cookie's hometab, and the rom works quite well. ocassionally freezes and needs a reboot, and i wish they could fix that, but it's in progress, so i'm not gonna complain too much. i downloaded the ADDON text message program he included under the addons and fixes link, and the messaging is soo much more fluid. no delays, doesn't matter how many messages i have, and i like it. it's missing the spell check feature, which i liked alot, but i can just be more careful with my spelling, and it'll work for now.
but i have yet another problem! when i receive a mms, the message comes in suuuper small, and it's not the picture either. i would fwd a 260kb photo to myself, and it'll come in at 5kb. not cool, i need that fixed. and also, the mms messaging says the limit is 300K. why is that? i thought t-mobile upped the mms size to 1024K i need that fixed, too. so if anyone has some good intel, please, comment this thread and help us all out!
THANK YOU GUYS!

Yup ROM upgrade 2.13 fixed my texting lag issues.

I text using the phone key pad.. I know most of you think im nuts, but give me a phone with actuall keys and I will out type and spell all of you who use a query or full keboard, i cant stand those two types, anyway stock ROM the typing was awesome I could type almost as fast as on a button phone.
Did the rom update last night, now i have to go at half speed, its terrible.
Phone buttons cant keep up, or will lock up.

If your that heavy into texting get one for the HTC Messaging disabled roms. I run Kumars premium V2.0 and I have had it on there for almost a month now with no issues and no texts deleted which means i have over 2000 on the device and it doesn't freeze

The Energy roms do not come with the HTC messenger, he added it because he wanted. I couldn't agree with you more about using the windows messenger. It works great when you get it threaded. (start>settings>systems>sms threading)

A few bugs ive noticed... Any fixes?

Hello, i am running 1.66 rom on a generic htc hd2 with a t-mobile contract.
I cant update to the very latest rom because theyve only released it for branded phones!
The first bug ive comes across is the Facebook profile pictures in my favourites list sometimes switch around betweeen different people, so say joe's profile picture appears on bills name! happens every so often, and its very irritating. the only solution is to delete both contacts and re enter them into the phone!
The second is when im texting, at the start of the text, after i have done a few characters, sometimes it scrolls up to the last text and selects it, meaning i can still type, but i cant see what im typing, the keyboard covers everything im typing.
Incredibly irritating, i then have to minimize the keyboard, then maximize it aagain.
Also, a new occurance, when i switch on my phone it says launching htc sence and stays there for ages, when i click the cross, i get onto my phone, its as if sence had already loaded and just not removing the message.
The next thing is the wifi, is it meant to switch off affter a while? my battery went from 100 percent to 0 in about 5 hours! (not even joking) i just leaave it off now..
OOh and whilst im at it, one more thing. Can you sync your emails over data conneection? It always displays 'synchronisation error' when ever i try to sync over data connection, but on wifi it connects and downloads perfectly!
Any ideas on any of these issues? has anyone else experienced them?
thanks in advance

I don't use the Facebook app as it is absolutely usless, but after a search I found this -'Go into all people then select your contact. Then select Edit Contact. Then press where the profile picture should be. A 'Set Contact Photo' option should pop up. Next to the Facebook profile it should have a downloading icon. Once that was done i selected Facebook Profile and all was working.'

There is an SMS update from the HTC website, but I believe this just addresses SMS failure to deliver issues. However, flashing a custom ROM with 235xx (WM 6.5.x) will definately eliminate this problem, as it uses a different SMS application. I'd assume flashing a custom 21907 (WM 6.5) would fix it too.

I get this regularly (and also having the keyboard go mental sometimes, switching character sets, entering characters when I'm trying to backspace etc). Seems worse when the phone's hot or when I'm outside and it's windy! But that might just be a coincidence.
I actually sent the phone back to HTC a month or two ago (their customer service was fantastic btw - picked up the phone on a Monday, I had it back by Friday all by courier).
There was a note in there saying they'd reconnected the touchscreen. Everything seemed okay for a while but it's doing it again (I've never dropped the phone or anything). Wonder if it's a loose connector or something.
Mine's unbranded, so I'm waiting for the next ROM update (currently 1.66). If that doesn't fix it I'll ask for a replacement phone (not a fixed one).

thanks for the help! You say i would benefit from flashing a custom rom 235xx, what type of rom is that? for instance you have energy rom etc. Sorry if im sounding like a noob, but i like the original layout of my hd2, and dont want too change it too much if possible, but i would like the performance increases that come with it. thanks

253xx puts the Start button at the bottom of the screen and makes menus and scroll bars bigger, it's called WM 6.5.x.
219xx is the stock look with the Start button at the top and no so finger friendly menu systems.
That's the basics of the differences between them both.

ok thanks i think ill installl standard reference energy rom 235xx one.
Do i need to change my radio before i flash? i have hspl installed.
The reason being is that i have changed the radio rom before and the signal was no where near as good as the stock radio rom. So i flashed back.

If you have an international HD2 you have to install a 2.xx.50.xx radio before you flash the Energy ROM. if you leave a 2.xx.51.xx radio on the device you'll brick it.

ok thanks, im gonna update the rom now. The rom i have currently is far superior, but i will flash anyway and make the compromise.
Thanks

Thank you for your feedback!
And also thank you the OP who posted about that SMS problem- which I kept reporting with no echoes.
1) Yeah "reconnected the touchscreen" my @ss. That problem was fixed as soon as I changed ROM.
2) "theres a patch for problem with SMS", my @ss, I installed it did not fix anything- Also, if you read the rom's releases notes everything is "fixing the sms". They forget to mention that they moved the "task manager" in rom 1.66 and changed a few other things-
3) i still had lot of bugs with that rom and device. Now some of them are removed and I'm using Artemis 22A- A few bugs but all minor so far- so I finally start to "enjo..."erm hard word to say after so many months of troubles.
4) also for the "quietly brilliant support" you mention, I would not be so happy if you really knows what happens there: it's likely they will swap your device with 2nd hand device as they discontinued the manufacture of new devices. Also they had shortage of 1 part and they took it from random devices...
My point is you also risk to get 2nd spares part or the whole 2nd hand part... not too nice as it does not means that the original fault/flaw is fixed, and its gambling until your warranty expires...
