When I am in messages (for example) and click on a contact then click on call - some come up with several numbers and others just dial the mobile number...
Now i am sure that i have never clicked the "remember this choise" checkbox... but for 90% plus of my contacts (out of the ones with multiple numbers) it just dials the mobile number without asking me what number to dial! - also on the few contacts that do ask me what number to dial they also seem to have a default action of "call mobile"
just wondering if anyone knows why this is happening? or how to un-remember the number that has been selected
Thanks

When my XDAII receive a call it does recognize the number but strangely it does only link the number (any number) to only one contact in my list.
I tryed to delete this contact to see what happens but it link witha nother but use it along for all calls.
Can you help me?
Thanks

Can you dial a number by tapping it from your contacts list?
In some cases yes in others no, this is because in some numbers there is the area code that the XDAII does not recognize because we use 011 here in my country. If I clear that the number can be dialed from the contact list.
So, are you saying that when you receive a call from a phone number which is properly formatted (for your phone to dial it) in your contacts list, it still won't ID the correct number? Remember, it is a simple pattern matching algorithm - it gets a call, looks in your contacts list for a number formatted EXACTLY as it receives it, and displays that contact.
I followed this logic but it wont work to explain what is happening
Hi!
I'm thinking about using my M1000 with my company's Sim.
Problem is that to dial personal numbers I would need to add "46" before the number I am dialing (this is for cost control... the company pays for phone call of collegues and clients, I pay for my personal ones).
Now, I am afraid that due to this restriction I would not be able to tap a personal contact number and have it dialed and also that I would need to delete the whole number from the phone display in order to add the 46 at the beginning.
Is there any application that would allow me to easily add the 46 in front of personal numbers before they get dialed?
THANKS!!!
Chris
Are you saying that you can't simply add the "46" to your personal phone numbers in your Contacts list? I just added "46" in front of a number in my contacts list and dialed it. It did not work on my network, but it did dial it.
I could but...
I could add the 46 in front but...
0) do it for all of my contacts its a long work...
1) It would be difficoult to revert should I change sim
2) I would get all my contact screwed if I try for example to dial from my PC or share them with someone
3) I don't need the "46" for SMS... so if I put it for SMS they would not go...
4) Incoming calls would not be recognized becouse the caller Id could not match the caller with the 46...
So it would be best if I could just add the "46" with a botton to the end of a number I would like to dial, just before I dial it...
Thanks anyway!

Is there a way of showing the time of each call in the call history list?
..when you click on the call you have the duration!
Thanks for your reply, but it was the time of the call, not the duration, that I wanted - e.g. call received at 6:28pm. When I click on a call it simply re-dials the number

Instead of clicking on the call, click the contact card on the right side.
This will list all calls from that number with times.
When I click the contact card to the right of the call details it either:
- does nothing (if the number is in my address book), or
- asks me if I want to add the number to my contacts (if the number is not in my address book).
Is this behaviour configurable to get it to work the way you describe?
May be default config for WM6.5.
I assume you're on WM6.1?
I tested with both calls from address book and not in address book, both gave me times.
Yes I'm on WM6.1. Anyone know if it's modifiable behaviour?
i'm using wm 6.1 stock rom, go to menu then choose call history then you can click contact card and see the date, time and duration for any number even if it is not saved to address book
but when the call is from an unknown number, it will do nothing when I press on the contact card. You can only see the date of call if the call was not received today...

I'm not actually using TF3D - I use SPB Mobile Shell 3. Is that maybe why I can't see call history for numbers which are not in my contacts?
I use Outlook and have multiple numbers in various contacts and behind the phone number I sometimes add a persons name (222) 222-2222-Joe. With WM it can distinquish between the numbers and letters, and will just dial the number, but with Android, it replaces the letters for "Joe" with numbers and then tries to dial that long number. The result is that I get a message that tells me the number is not a valid number. I hate to have to go back thru 1200 contacts and remove all the names behind numbers to keep Android dialing properly. Anyone have an easy solution? Thanks
I have twice now gone through my contacts and set Mobile first, Home second, etc for several contacts. After my newest ROM flash, the order is all messed up again, even on the Google Contacts side of things.
Is there some feature I'm missing? Am I the only one that wants a predictable listing of phone numbers on my phone?
anyone? 10char
Someone must know...
I get very anoyed by the contact's numbers order.
In my country:
- the mobile numbers begin with 06...
- fixed line numbers depends of the town, but mostly are 011..., 021..., etc.
Now - it realy is a pain in the back to search for a person, and 99% of the time to scroll down to 2cond or third number to pick...
Even when I want to send a message - the same is needed, although in my country it is not possible to send a message to a fixed line number (I know in some countries it is possible).
Is there an app to choose the order of offered numbers to dial, send messages and similar?
Cheers
I found on another forum:
"If you do a long press on the office number, a menu will appear. From the menu, you can select "Make default number". This way, when you dial, it will automatically dial the office number."
But :
- it doesn't appy to message compose,
- it can be applyed to one number only - if someone have 2 mobile phones (personal and work) - it helps just 50%
- it has to be done person by person, and it is a pain...
- it doesn't apply to all the dialers (just to default one)
