Quick question for people who have this app, how the heck do you go back to the homepage once youre in your contacts? Its stuck on my contacts page and when I try to go back to the main page to see my whatsapp contact list, seems like there is no way of going back
Hit the retun key. Third button from left on the bottom of your phone.

well there is one way around it. I went into my gallery and clicked on share, it gave me the option of whether to do it as a MMS (which by the way isnt working for me at the moment) ot through whatsapp. i clicked on that and can kinda make my way back to my whatsapp contacts. But this is one long way of getting there.

The most annoying thing ever!
The bloody app/programs window wont close!!
And not even hitting the k/b win logo > Today will work either.
Not even magic button works - only a soft reset will do it . then you are waiting till you either use the phone or venture stupidly into MyPrograms
Bloody infuriating..
anyone have a solution?
cheers guys,
LR
The phone app works best if you mark it as "Keep Alive" and "Don't show when inactive" in Magic Button. I've seen the "Programs" issue you mentioned, but selecting "Today" always gets rid of it for me.
Cheers,
Steve.
thx I will give the M. Button options a whirl!
Did you guys found a solution on the small blank square spot on the upper right hand corner of the screen where the OK button lies when using Magic Button?
Sorry - not sure what problem you are refering to...
Cheers,
Steve.
No problem with Magic Button...
For killing phone app, I found 2 utilities working...
First Xbar3...let you show the phone app and a trick to kill it.
Second one...http://www.vijay555.com/index.php?Releases:VJPhoneToggle works on 2003se and 2005 Qtek 9000.
Curious. Why would you want to close the Phone app?
Isn't it the whole point of the device?
If you use your pocketphone more as a pda than a phone, the phone app takes somme Mb of memory... Really closing it after a call give you the possibility to take some precious Mbytes back for running programs...
VJOkButt also has a specific option, -phclose, to close the phone after each use - very useful when assigned to the red hangup key with AEButtonPlus.
Note, closing the phone doesn't stop the phone ringing, so does save you some memory without sacrificing the phone's functionality, but it does cause a minor incompatibility - trying to dial from Contacts may crash out.
However, in day to day use I don't recommend closing the phone unless you're really tight on mem.

Actually, it is not a problem but an aesthetic concern on my part. I am not using any skin program. The last time I tried Magic Button, if I am at the today screen with no open application, the location on the upper right hand corner where the "OK" button is shows a blank square. I was just wondering if I am the only one who had this oddity.
I have no skinning soft and I don't have a blank square... The color of that part of the taskbar, when nothing written, is the same than the rest of the bar. But I read stuffs like yours on other forums...

I can't seem to find this option in Magic Button. Can you please direct me on how?
Ok so here's the problem:
Whenever i want to go to my contact list, either by pressing the contact button, or going to my contact list via, Phone or "Contacts" on the start menu, it just flashes "contacts" at the top, doesn't display my contacts, and then just goes back to the today screen.
Is there a fix for this?
Many thanks.
Anyone?

as soon as you push power&reset, you now press the camera&record buttons simultaneously. three lines will come up, and you use both camera & record buttons to navigate and toggle from no to yes to no... so at the end you'll get no/yes/yes (1st line/2nd line/3rd line)
the mail button is the 2nd button from the left (the one with the envelope icon).
all of these are in the wiki, which you're supposed to read before you attempt to upgrade. it appears you haven't done any reading yet, hehe...
Lool ok , now the mail button is the SECOND BUTTON BELOW THE SCREEN , with the Mailbox icon, next to Start up menu button on the left and the IE button on the right , to be more specific , the one with the set of 4 buttons . U can easily find it by look at the FRONT SIDE of the device . In Any case , you DID NOT find it , ill post you a Screenshot . cheersss

I did read the Wiki (Much help), and from there it was straight forward, it was just this little problem that was bugging me, but thank you very very much.

Bingo,.. it's working.
Everythings running in order, just like it did when i had WM5.
oooh,.. i wonder if i still have Worms World Party on it.
that will be lost... a result of the no/yes/yes action you did.
in any case, i assume you wouldn't have any problem installing the said game.
cheers!

Hi there just wondering if anyone had/has this problem and knows how to fix it. Basically when i go to reply to a text message by clicking on it (from inside TouchFlo) the keyboard appears, then dissapears. When i click on the box to type, the keyboard comes up, then jumps back down. I have to press the 'Keyboard' button when the keyboard is down (to bring it up) then type somthing (which doesn't appear) and then press space...to even start typing anything. It's really odd, i've tried re-flashing both stock and a few other ROM's...same wierd problem...anyone?
THANKS!
I also have the same problem. If i double tap a message from within touchflo there is no problem but if i tap it once i have the keyboard problem. It has been bugging me for a while as well! Although it's not major, if anyone has a fix it would be much appreciated.
haha it's really annoying the double clicking things doesnt work for me...anyone got a fix? also what rom are you running? thanks
Deleted....
talking to some of my friends, i've realised that this happens on general windows mobile, not just this phone, therefore i will re-post in order to gain more publicity. Thanks
Fortunately for me, everything is working fine, as in the manuals, even after using this set for over a year now. When I click "reply" from within TF, it automatically gives a text/message typing area and a keyboard area at the bottom half which stays there. I can drop the keyboard down (and up) by tapping (once) the keyboard icon at the bottom centre. no problem.
ha! it's lucky for some! What ROM are you using? Thanks

One thing I miss from my windows phone was the ability to open the dialer and start typing a contacts name using the dialer keypad and having it auto sort for the contact. are there any apps that add this feature?
I want to just hit the phone button then start typing the contact on the keypad and have it bring them up rather than going to contacts, then searching then choosing the contact, then choosing to call them,..
When you open contacts, you can hold the menu key down for a couple seconds, which brings up the keyboard. Then you can start typing a contacts name, and it starts narrowing down the list.
That's a start thanks. I am only two day into android and have many tricks to learn. Would still love to see it work in the dialer as well though.

What you're hoping for only works in SenseUI. Being new to Android, you just need to remember that different OS' do things differently. You'll get used to it soon, and it'll become second nature for you.
That was a bummer for me too, so I've opened a thread yesterday on this ... the best solution I found was using aContacts from marketplace.. it's very good and configurable.
It wont work keeping the menu pressed for showing the keyboard and looking for a contact in the Dialer screen. @uansari1, have you tried that? or are you speaking just by "knowledge" ?

You can actually use a similar trick, in any app, including right on the home screen. Just press the search key, and start typing the contacts name. No need to open Contacts first.

I have only tried using the keyboard in the Contacts screen, not the Dialer screen. I have my most frequently called contacts set as favorites, and calling non-favorites from time to time isn't a big deal for me.

Ok... all I said was holding menu will work in CONTACTS. I don't use the dialer screen unless I'm calling a number that's not in my Contacts.

You can try aContacts (free) from the market. It has this T9 dialpad that search the contacts and you can set it up to open this T9 when open the app. You can also customize the T9 a lot, check the settings in aContacts.

+1 This is a great feature, I can dial from any home screen (essentially)
Alternatively.
Long click on the search even on the home screen and it starts voice recognition.
Just say your contacts name or something like "Directions to Castle Street"
God this phone never ceases to amaze..
ok a couple things. I tried out acontacts, cool idea but it doesn't work with exchange contacts so it it doesn't do anything for me, hopefully later it will handle all phone contacts.
holding menu to bring up the keypad in contacts works well but its annoying that it doesn't clear the text input after you select the person because the next time you go into contacts you then have to bring up the keyboard and delete the text you typed in.
A weird issue start happening today for me.
In the contacts list I have always swiped left to text and swipe right to call... but now only swipe left works the first time, and in order to swipe right I have to start to the left then go to the right (like you go to text but change your mind and go to call)
Any ideas?

If you are swiping right, start from AFTER the picture otherwise it doesn't work.
