When I dial phone numbers on the touch screen it sometimes inserts extra digits. For example, I dial a 2 and it puts in a 2 and an 8??? This is really annoying.
i am using stock rom and dialer.

As I am using my Wizard open in horizontal position in my brodit car-holder I would like to know if it is possible to use the hardware keyboard (instead of the on-screen soft keypad) in the dialer screen using the smartdial options.
Also is there a hack that keeps the hardware keyboard light on when the device in on charge?
I don't see why not - just use the number row of keys (QWERTYUIOP - no need for the dot key) to type any numbers, and use the arrow keys (bottom-right) to select from the smart dialing list, and the enter/return key to select.
As for the backlight - SOL until somebody figures out where that's controlled, I'm afraid.
maybe I was not clear enough, I would like to use the whole slide-out keyboard.
ie. when i want to dial John i would just type j o h n (whereas on the on-screen keypad i would type 5 6 4 6)
When driving using the slide-out keyboard gives me more confidence when dialing (on my Himalaya the on-screen dialpad was bigger which made i better useable without a stylus)
I know what you mean. The phone apps doesnt support hard keyboard. Try clicking contacts and type on the hard keyboard the name in contacts. then dial from there. hope this helps.
well, you could still type 5646 - and it'll still go to 'John'
But I understand what you mean now - does seem silly. The contacts suggestion sounds good, but ideally maybe get one of those phone front-end replacements.
As for the buttons - they're fairly large here.. large enough for touching with fingertips anyway. Does your Wizard have some customization cab making the keys small, maybe? or am I underestimating the size of your fingers?
underestimating the size of your fingers!
Use Microsoft Voice Command instead
I tried the trial version of MS Voice Command v1.5 on my Cingular 8125 (aka Wizard) and it is just fabulous. No voice training needed. I tried the registry hack to use the BT headset to to take the voice command just couple of hours back. Need to check how well the 8KHz sampling of the BT works with the 16KHz sampling based algo in VC. You can really be hands-free with this s/w. Amazing!
Hello i loke for a pause key on the screen keypad ? pause key is a wait command
... you can use an "," (without quotes) for a pause within the phone-number...
yes, but how do you put on the Hermes phone keypad? I think it's not possible, it would be very useful to dial PBX numbers, so you can store everything on a contact...
I could be wrong, but I believe if when updating a Contacts phone number field, you can simply put a "p" (or multiple p's) to denote pauses.
I couldn't figure a way to input them from the dialer pad, either.
...yeah I'm sorry. I answered to quick. Indeed it's not possible, maybe someone else know to program such command. I also tried with keyboard but it just won't accept a ","...
I always use 2 commas
ex:
18002616430 ,,12345,,726226
this works for me. to call my home overseas, usually I stored phone card information this way in the contact, I simply use the unused field like fax or work.
ok it works with , / nice forum /
On my Cingular branded 8525:
'w' causes the dialer to wait for a press of the 'talk' button;
',' or 'p' pause. On my phone ',,' pauses about the same time as 'p'.
Is there anyway to dail the phone pad without using the stylus? Idealy, I would like to use the D pad to go from number to number.
Is there any program like this?
Try SmartsKey
TIP (NORMAL USE): When you selected contacts hold down the D-Pad for faster scrolling. Big letters will apear
Try this...
One Handed Dialer v1.2
IMO... This is the only one available that fits the bill. Allows you to dial numbers using the D-PAD. A no nonsense program that does exactly what you want.
Consider E-ten skin
You may want to think about an E-ten skin for your dialer. This does not let you use the d-pad, but the buttons are rearranged so they are larger on the screen. I can easily dial with my fingers. Just another option...
Or my favorite, Voice Command. One button and you're done pressing.
Sometimes when entering data in a form, the standard stock samsung keyboard is replaced by a numeric pad - containing only large numbers in.
I would like to activate this pad at will, since it's a lot easier to enter numbers.
Anyone know it is possible?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it is possible if the coder set the attribute for the text box, so that it display a numpad instead of ordinary keyboard.
Yes, that's what I thought.
It sure would be nice to activate it from the user side when needed...
This is a bit hard to explain but I'll try. In short the dialer recognize the Danish special chars 'ø' and 'å' but not 'æ' when giving suggestions from contacts. Looking for a solution. Please read on.
In Denmark we use the English alfabet plus three characters - æ ø å.
'æ' is a contraction of 'ae' and should be located on the 1 key in the dialer as it is on the T9 keyboard. 'ø' is a contraction of 'oe' and on the dial pad it is placed along with 'o' on key number 6. 'å' is a contraction of 'aa' and is placed on the 1 key like 'a' is on the dial pad.
That is ASCII values 230, 248 and 229.
An example:
When I want to dial my mom, I press 667 in the dialer, and the dialer suggests 'mor' from the contacts - the Danish word for mom or mother - and with the corresponding letters in the contact highlighted.
Now the problem:
The Danish word for 'doctor' is 'læge'. If I want to have my phone suggest 'læge', I should press '5243'. However, the dialer does not recognize 'æ'. I press 5 for 'l', 1 for 'æ', 4 for 'g' and 3 for 'e'.
Now here comes the stuff that puzzles me: An ear- throat- and nose doctor (ENT) in Danish is called an 'ørelæge'. If I press 6 on the dial pad, all contacts with the number 6 in them are shown, AS WELL AS any contacts with the letters on the dial pad of number 6 - (MNO) - in them. And since 'ø' is placed on key number 6, the contact 'ørelæge' is shown with the letter 'ø' highlighted.
I don't understand why 'æ' won't get highlighted when I press 1 on the dial pad.
Any suggestions?
