Hi all is there any addon that will allow me to change the way the scroll button works while in the phone mode.
would be great to be able to press send (green) then see last no dialled then be able to scroll to see and pick nos last dialled like a normal mobile.
Could this be done?????
Thanks Baz

Does anyone know if it is possible to have the phone default to the business number instead of the mobile number of a contact?
This can save me quite some usage costs.
How is it you are calling people? Do you use the default WM6 contact's list?
I type in some of the keys of the keypad until the right contact is found and the press the green button to call the person.
This takes the mobile number as default.
Got it...
I'll explain step by step what i did, just so we know we're on the right page...
Pressed Green Phone button
Typed in name using On-Screen Button's (I typed in Kenny, so dialled 5 3 6 6 9)
When Kenny's name appeard, I pressed and held his name, so a menu appeared from my stylus
I selected "Work"
I immediately hung up (cos i didn't actually want to call him, just test this theory )
From then on, whenever I dialled Kenny, it would default to his work number.
Try this and see if it works, I know it's not an ideal solution, but let me know how you get on...
EDIT: Alternatively, I've just found out you can use the D-pad to change the default. SO step by step again...
Press Green Phone button
Use on-screen dialler
when your desired contact appears, press down on the D-Pad untill you highlight them
When highlighted, press right on the D-Pad to change the default number (for reference; h = home, m = mobile, w = work)
That seems to work.
The problem is however that it takes me to remember I actually called this person before.
The trouble is that I have 700 colleagues with a short (cheaper) business number and a mobile number.
An alternative I tried was to switch the business number and the mobile number in the contacts, but the I get in to trouble when I want to send an SMS.
Thanks for letting me know about the PAD
I was actually calling people and hanging up all over the place until I realized through Your note that I can just go into contacts and while scrolling down the contacts with the nav-pad change their default number by pressing the nav-pad sideways... No need to call people hanging up on them
That sounds excellent.
I tried it and it works for me.
Thanks for the tip.
XDA Friends,
I noticed when I place a call to a friend using the pocket pc WM OS pda all is fine. Now, when I hang up the phone, it returns to the phone keypad screen.
Seconds later, it reverts back to the last caller contact. I then have to exit out get back to the dialer screen.
Anyone come across this?
Pls advise!

Let me get this straight!
somebody calls you, or you call somebody. Hang up and it displays the dialer numpad. Then it goes back to the last caller(???), so to get back to the dialer, you have to close it and reopen it?
maybe screenshots can help (Not clear about reverting back to last caller contact. Does it display the last caller in contacts?)
Sorry about that, let me try to be clearer.
1. Select from contact list who I want to call.
2. Call connects, I see the phone screen, dialpad, contact picture etc.
3. Finish the call, returns back to the dialpad screen
4. After five seconds, WM switched to contact of last person I called.
I would it to remain on the dialpad screen then switching to the contact I just called. I have to then exit out of the contact that I just called.
Any ideas?

Oh thats normal!
when you recieve a call/ dial a call and ended the dialer screen will only be displayed for a few seconds. Then it will revert back to the last program opened, in your case contacts! Samething goes for Finger friendly friends, and basically other contact managers.
If you want to avoid this, you can assign contacts to HTCHOME, and/or WKTASK(program launcher) and it will just return to the today screen. Otherwise your gunna have to get used to closing the contact manager (endcall is a quick way to exit out)
thanx.. this has followed me from the last pocket pc which I thought this was a bug in the OS... yah, I know end call does the trick too. but it takes to main screen..
anyways, thank you!

Hi all, I'm finding it frustrating that there is no way to edit a contact's details or quickly make a call from viewing an SMS, is there a tweak/patch for this or am I doing something wrong??
close input program like keyboard, press up and down key to highlight sms, and press call
Solved.
Cheers, It's a bit annoying that you can't do it from the Flo view, and is a bit awkward, however this method also works to get to contacts too if you press the center button.
Thank You.
just press more (left buton)
in the list of sms's press the phone button. you will be able to call that person.
you do not need to close the keyboard.
If u dun close keyboard u cant select the message, u'll highlight text instead
what about just hitting the green button key ? that works for me

when i press more in the tf3f sms screen i go to the sms list.
if i have a keyboard there or not does not make a difference.
as soon as i press the call key, i can make a phonecall. to the selected person.
if i press up or down the next message is selected and i can call to that person.
what are you doing different?
perhaps your message is already highlighted. u can only call, forward, etc, when the message is highlighted. U'll see a lightblue highlight on the message.
When u're replying a message, no message is highlighted, hence, no forwarding etc
but when you reply to a message you are in a different screen.
i am talking about the sms overview.
so to call someone you received a message from it is only two clicks, instead of 1 click as the first poster wanted.
lol, probably misunderstanding. we both obviously have no problems and threadstarter also no problems already, so, case solved lol

you could say that
Thanks everybody for your input, yes the solution works.
If I'm in the single SMS mode (i.e. the SMS "old style" list I have no problems accessing contact details or making a call.
The threaded SMS mode proves to be more difficult, however by highlighting a message (either pressing up, or down then up, or closing the keyboard) then you can access the number by pressing the call button.
The Quick SMS view in the HTC FLO mode though proves the most difficult only allowing you to select the message to open up the Threaded SMS view. This is the mode I wanted to make a call directly from or access there details, however I don't think that is possible.
Is there a way to hide [or stop from being recorded] the text message history when looking at the call log?
It seems pretty retarded to see a long list of incoming and outgoing SMS activity in a call log. I would like mine to show calls only. If I want to look at messages I would have opened Messaging no?
You can press the menu button then press "view by" then select one of the options.
You can only select one at a time which I take you're not looking for?
I would imagine someone would have to mod it or use another app to replace it?

Fully aware of the useless filter options.
I want some tick boxes to tell it what to show not a radio button for predetermined options that are not the one I want. Like on the selection of what shows in my contact list....
Do the guys who write touch wiz use a phone?
I guess this doesnt seem to bother anyone else?
Is this a standard android "feature" or a unique error in touchwiz?

Don't use the logs tab, use the history tab in contacts, use the menu button to select what you want displayed, untick what you don't want. Sadly it doesn't seem to affect the logs tab but it's the best you can do for now.
Hello,
I would like to save phone number to contacts during the call, when I turn on keypad and type number there is only "add to block list" option. Is it possible to do it with stock software, please?
Thank you
Jakub
