Hi all,
2 questions re. accessing voice mail and miss calls list on the hermes:
1) On my old phone (very old Sony Ericsson T100), there is a 'check voice mail' option in the menu that lets me quickly check my voice mails (ie. essentially a speed dial). And it looks like the phone automatically configured itself to work out the voice mail's number (from the SIM?) Can WM5 do this as well? I'd like to have the voice-mail option somewhere that's easily accessible, so I don't have to hunt through my contacts list for the number.
2) How do we find the list of miss calls? Again, on my old phone, I could simply go to the 'miss call' menu option to see the list of miss calls, and all the numbers on the list stay there until I expicitly clear the list. Does WM5 have this facility as well?
cheers

Hi
Regarding 2) Missed calls.
If you have current missed calls an icon appears on the task bar. Tapping this brings up a list of missed calls (if you choose view.)
Alternatively you can open phone with the green button go to menu and in call history missed ones appear with an exclamation mark.

Regarding voicemail, this may depend what you can set up with your provider. With O2 I have it set up to notify me with a text message and a link to call sender (i.e. voicemail).

Okay so I've been using the G1 for about a month now and since I can't find answers to these questions in the forums and I can't find any apps to help me, I thought it best just to be direct and lay it out for all you android genius' out there.
1. Very annoying that every time I hang up a call the screen locks. I still want to use the screen lock feature but I don't want it to happen every time I hang up the phone.
2. I'd like a quick way for calling the default number of a contact listed in the contact's list. If I tap the contact it takes me into the full contact information screen and then I have to pick the number to call. It would be nice if I could bring up the list of contacts or just begin typing a name anywhere in the OS (thereby bringing up the contact list) and simply select a name and have it dial somehow.
3. Is there a way to reprogram the volume control buttons on the side? It's in a very annoying position and while playing a game or running an app I constantly brush up against those buttons and the ringer volume pops up and messes up my gameplay.

Please form your questions in the form of a question.... Anyways..
1. My screen doesn't completely lock after a call, just press menu once afterwards and it is right back to where it was (for incoming calls), and for outgoing I don't think it even takes that - just pop back to where it was before I made the call.
2. If you long press on a contacts default phone number you can set it as the default phone number, then when you have that contact selected in your list just press the call button and it initiates a call with the default number. Doesn't get much easier than that. To clarify you don't even have to open the individual contact, just highlight it in your contacts list.
3. That would probably have to be an app specific option, but I don't know if that is even possible.
Why do you not use anycut and create a shortcut for your contact
Contacts not contact.
I don't want to have to make an anycut shortcut to every contact in my address book.
What I'm asking here is:
Is there any way to just simply tap a contact and have it call them. Is there a way to turn off the feature that locks the screen when you just tap the red phone button (for example maybe holding it down to lock so that when I just tap to end a call, it simply ends the call instead of also locking the screen).
All my questions revolve around doing in 1 click what most of you are suggesting doing in 2-3 clicks. Who wants to have to hit menu and end call every time you hang up? Single actions have been used since the invention of the phone for hanging up. Silly to have to click something 2-3 times to end a call without locking your phone.
In D2 there are 2 different forms of call history representations:
1. Simple Call History. You get there from home screen, tapping on Call History line. You get 3 buttons below, Call History (with options to show all, missed, outgoing,received using submenu), All Contacts, Favorites.
2. Advanced Call History. You get there when there is missed call, and you click on notify bar, then in notification manager - on "you have X missed calls" line.
In this list you see 4 buttons below, allowing quick filtering (missed,outgoing,received, all).
Simple or Advanced are mine inventions, I have to do something to tell them apart ...
So the question is: how can I change behavior of Call History line on home screen, so it will open Advanced Call History (which is much easier to use), instead of Simple Call History ?

Thats really something I would like to have too!
I agree, it would be great to change this.
Your "simple" call history is the TF3D version, whereas "advanced" is the standard WM6 version. Unfortunately, I haven't found any way to turn off only selected parts of the TF3D interface. Must be in the registry somewhere. Maybe someone out there has more ideas?

Yup, I like the "advanced" one also better. Any progress in this topic?
Me too, anyone?
Looks like not too many people are interested in this!
Just discovered something interesting.
During a call, bring up the dialer keypad on the screen (by pressing the button). Now, if you swipe your finger across the blank white space to the left, you'll bring up the WM6 style quick dial list, and if you swipe to the right you'll bring up the WM6 style call history.
Not sure why this works, but it does. Doesn't help much with our initial query though!
For what it's worth, I'm using the Dusk dialer.
Um... found a way of getting the other "advanced" call history to come up... by mistake, and it is a little convoluted! I have SK tools installed and in SK tools set a shortcut up for the "Close Tasks" feature, I then set my call button to access the Close Tasks shortcut, using the "buttons" option under the standard rom settings tab. Now when i use that shortcut by pressing and holding the call button, it closes all the tasks then jumps to the elusive "advanced" missed calls screen!
Odd, not a fix for everyone as it means closing all your other software to open the screen but thought it may be of interest!

I have tried searching the forums, but haven't found anything about this.
In the Phone screen (with numeric pad and the recent call list) each entry has an icon, the person's name and phone number and a button to show the contact or details about the call.
Why isn't the time of the call in that list? Is there a way to turn that on? I consider that vital information.

yes it is annoying. I wish it is listed here.
But if you tap the thing on the right, it will show you all history for that particular person. In this screen, you have time and duration for each entry.
Also tap the button on the left next to "Talk" and it will open "Call History" with all the vital information you want.
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.
