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.
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.
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.
I have not found where I can set so even if I have my number hidden from my phone provider
it is always shown when I make a call.
Found this poorly translated instruction but it is for a standard Samsung phone.
Enable or disable the Show Number
You can disable the display of your number so it does not appear in the recipient when you make a call . You can also make a single call with hidden number . Your number is hidden only for calls , not when you send messages .
1 Find the "Hide ID "
Touch Phone .
Press the Menu key .
Tap Call settings.
Press the Additional Settings.
Please wait a moment while the current settings are retrieved.
Press the Caller ID .
Anyone?
I have unlocked my (Sprint) SPH-L720 (using the instructions on this forum) to use for Straight Talk. Here is my problem: The phone number in "Settings > About Device > Status > My phone number" is not only incorrect, it is the previous owner's number. These Sprint phones use Visual Voice Mail (by Smith Micro Software) and the app takes over the "Phone > Call Settings > Voicemail Settings" menu. This means that I cannot get to the menu screen that allows me to change the number that voicemail calls. Is there a way to root edit "My Phone Number" or the voicemail number so that voice mail functions properly?
