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?
Best regards

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'.
I own a TC UK version, and I edited the registry as described by jeroen_76 to be able to use the Dutch T9.
Now when I use either the keyboard or the keypad I only get digits, no characters or symbols. Strange thing is, when it is in character mode, it shows the ABC key. If you press this, it switches to digit keys.
What did I do wrong?
I recieve exactly the same behavior after installing the german language on my XDA Orbit II with bepe ROM..... is there a key combination to enable/disable the numbers? On a notebook i would hit the "Function" key ...
Im old school, I like to put the "-" in between the first 3 numbers and last 4 numbers of my contacts.
So I Was entering in some people today, and I suually hit the blue dot and "f" to get the dahs, but it doesn't work. Shift doens't give me a capital, either. And I don't have to hold down the blue key to get the numbers working when I press the appropriate keys, they come up by themselves.
I checked and the Fn and Shift keys were no stuck, and hadn;t been pressed twice. What is going on?
Anyone? This is annoying
I confirmed this bug... when adding a new contact and entering a phone number via the hardware keyboard I couldn't insert the '-' (dash) character, no matter what i did with the fn and shift key i would get the 'a' character. I could insert the '-' character via the standard windows mobile software keyboard and the PCM Keyboard (another software keyboard).
This could be a design flaw of the windows mobile contact editor. Maybe they wanted to disallow all non alphanumeric characters and only implemented that for the hardware keyboard rather than for both the hardware and software keyboard.
Whatever the problem is, in order to get a dash character to show up when editing a contact phone number on the stock Sprint 6.1 rom it looks like you will need to use the software keyboard
Hi
Is it possible to make longpressing a character on the keyboard use a character of my choice? rather than bringing up a menu where I have to click on the screen to choose character?
Example:
I want to use the character Å (A with a ring over it, its in the norwegian alphabet)
I longpress A, and that gives me a menu on the screen with Â, Ã, Ä and Å, and I have to click one of those!
Instead I want to set my own characters like this:
Longpress A = Å (A-ring)
Longpress E = Æ (AE)
Longpress O = Ø (O-line)
I dont know if this exists or even if it is possible, but it would be a great timesaver!
This would indeed be very useful. Request seconded.
Third
Just as a tip for my fellow norwegians, since aa (a with ring above) is the key that is most to use, I usually just copy that letter and just paste it when I need it later, and long press o to got oe and then press enter, and for ae I just long press a and use the scroll wheel to move one field down and then press enter.
Not sure if this works for you, but I manage just fine with this approach. The only thing that annoys me is the lack of support for foreign keys in the android browser.
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.
