Call History - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

is there a way to make the call history list show only the most recent call from a contact, instead of listing all of them?

Call history query
Hi,
Did you manage to resolve this issue? I find it annoying myself and would really like to if there is a solution to this.

If you disable the phone skin, you can get the calls and contacts list in the phone window (the way WM6 has). There you can tap on one entry and get to the list of previous calls from that contact.

Call Forwarding shortcuts....

Anyone have a shortcut for enabling call forwarding? I always forward to the same number. I would like to be able to use a button or voice command to bring up the call forwarding screen, and then just click yes/OK to enable or disable it. Anyone else using this?
By the way. I have been using ATT's fast forward service for a couple of years. Do I need to continue paying for this, or will the phone redirect the calls?
Thanks,
Tom
Bump. I'd really love to find how to do this also, I'm doing it several times a day ...
On my 8925 phone I created two contacts.
Turn Forwarding On:
_OnForward
*21*5125551212#
(replace 5125551212 with the areacode and phone number you want to forward your calls to)
Turn Forwarding Off:
_OffForward:
##21#
The _ puts the two items at the top of my contacts list. I click contacts and then press call on the selected forwarding option. Sometimes I get an error message "command not supported", but that is related to my phone's connection strength and not the programming. This has been working well for me for about a year. I have tried to make a couple of buttons that dial the contacts directly from another screen, but that hasn't worked. You have to open contacts and the press call on the option you want.
Later-
Good morning gents.
I have an HTC TyTN II with Win Mobile 6.1
I created the contacts like that and on my "Favorite People" page I put the contact there, it just says :
"Cannot Complete the call. the Signal may be unavailable or the phone number may not be valid. Verify the number or try again later."
From the contact list it works of course.
Another question regarding call forwarding. Is there a way to have an icon on the top bar that says the call ARE being forwarded... I keep missing a couple of calls that end on my home answering machine because I forgot to forward
Vesperatus-
I have all of your same issues. As far as I know, there aren't any solutions. You just have to remember to unforward your phone.....

Unable to call contacts

I am unable to call any contacts from the touch flo 3d contacts page.
Nothing happens when I tap on any of the phone numbers for a contact.
I can send a text or email from the contacts page.
If I tap on the more option I can make a call from the screen that then appears by pressing the left soft menu key.
Anyone know how to get the functionality back?
is adding a contact picture allow you to make a call?
if so this is a known issue for certain late rom.

No adding a picture to the contact does not allow me to make a call.
Does not make any difference if the contact has a photo or not. Or if I try to dial from the favourites contact page or the all contacts page.
The rom is the standard htc one (v 3.43.25.19) that came with the phone only had the phone a week and a half.
Found out what was causing the problem.
Pocket Shield has an option to use the WM dialer when using the slide to answer functionality.
It claims that the slide to answer is more responsive when using the WM dialer and recommends using it.
Once I unticked this option the ability to dial from the contacts returned.

problem with "call sms blocker"

Hi,
I've found the software "call sms blocker". It had been made to block incoming unwanted calls and logged it... hide private sms...
I've attent to configure it but no way ! it does not stop anything that incoming !
Have you test it ? with success ???
yes. I use it and it works perfectly. It is an awesome program.
The way i have it setup is I have it set to accept all and then I make a custom list of numbers to reject. In this custom list I added all my phonebook contacts. Its kind of confusing but you have to remember that your phone only replies via sms to REJECTED calls/ and or sms. So yeah it sems weird to say reject contacts but this is what u need to do if you want your phone to send an automatic sms reply back to your contact.
So i did this for both calls and sms. I set both to ACCEPT under the "status" tab. then go into each tab "call" and "sms" and create new lists within each. Do this by tapping and holding in the window area and say ADD. Name it, make it REJECT, and make the action Hangup. Then go down to "List" (right soft key) and select number>add>phonebook. You can then check all the numbers from your phonebook that you want to add. Then also under "List" (right soft key) you can go into Advance Opt and set your custom message.
Repeat for the "sms" tab. Tap and hold in window area to make a new list. Name it, make it REJECT type, and I say "move to blocked" for action type. (this creates a new folder in your inbox of your messages so it makes it easy to find the sms that the program blocked. Add numbers from your phonebook same as I said above.
Now one thing to keep in mind. When I first started using this program I found that it only responded to my missed calls and not sms. What I discovered was that all the numbers for the sms list had to have a 1 in front of the number so that it looked like this 1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx. Whereas for my call list, the numbers in the list are like this (xxx) xxx-xxxx. For some reason I dont know why, this makes a difference.
So give it a try. I hope this helps you.

Calling from contacts list

I seem to have a recurring issue. I can not make a phone call from my contacts list. If I go to my contacts and tap call mobile or call home it does not launch the phone. It does nothing. If I tap email or sms it works fine. The only way I can make a phone call is to manually type the number in. I have tried different roms from different people and I have the same issue.
Has anyone come across this? Is this a common issue ? Is there a fix for it ?

Might be able to help out more if we knew what ROM you are using. I do not have this issuse and have used Miri, Duttys and PhamQuang ROMs.
I have used the wm6.5 energy Leo rom, I 've used Miri's 6.5 v9 manila 2.5 rom and Dutty's 6.5 R4 rom and they have all done the samething. Right now I currently have Dutty's 6.5 Leo R4(MSVC) rom installed. The funny this is that at first it worked just fine but when I started adding the contacts I used the most to the quick launch in the contacts list is when this started happening. The other roms did it right off the bat.

what other programs do you have installed on your phone? do you have other apps that include contacts functionality? also, are you trying to call from the Manila contacts app or the Windows contacts app? can you call contacts that are not on your People (Favorites) page? i have no problems initiating calls from the Windows and Manila contact apps by tapping "Call Mobile", "Call Home", etc. given your issue is not ROM specific, i'm inclined to believe its related to software or something stored with your contacts.
i have no other contact apps installed. i can not make any calls from quick contact list or from the "all people" list

after you flash a ROM, how are you reloading your contacts? if syncing, what is the source? after your next flash, i recommend adding a few contacts manually (3-5) and then determine if you can initiate calls from the by tapping "Call Mobile", "Call Home", etc. if you can, then reload your existing contacts and try initiating calls again. if it doesn't work, then the next item (in the process of elimination steps) is to review your contacts for info that could be causing the problem. fyi, i'm using MS Exchange to store and reload my contacts after flashing a ROM.
I am syncing with my PC and pulling my contacts from outlook. does it make a difference if you add a contact to the favorites list having the phone number or sms number as the number saved to quick contacts ?
I just noticed that if I go to start menu, click contacts, I can make calls that way.
The only apps I have installed is, tomtom7, slide to unlock and tweak HD
OK I finally found the problem In tweak HD if you go down to 1.8 phone pad style. I had it set to windows because i don't like the slide to answer call. When I put this setting back to HD (default) I was able to make calls from the manilia people tab and all contacts list.
So I guess I'll just have to choose either to not use the manilia people tab to make calls so I can answer the phone using the phone soft key, or use the people tab and have to deal with the slide to answer call. Unless there's another way to disable the slide to answer call

ahhhh... yeah, it's typically something we install and forgot or we assume it didn't have any impact on our issue. fyi, you don't have to use slide-to-answer to answer a call. i never use it, lol, i always use the send key (key to the left of the home key) to answer calls or the end key to ignore the call. glad you got it sorted out.
yea amazing. As you can see it drove me crazy. I found the solution by accident. The only thing I hate now is when I get a call the caller ID from slide to unlock comes up ( which is the one I prefer ) and the windows/manila one keeps flashing on top of it.
Otherwise Dutty's rom seems pretty solid
Camera zoom
I noticed that I do not have the zoom function with this rom, which I knew already, but if I was to install the old camera cab to get the zoom function back would I lose the ability to take pics at 5megs ?
Also I have tweak HD installed and it unlocked some good features like burst and sport, would I lose those functions ?

Any way to change call log duplicates behavior?

I find it annoying that the call log shows multiple entries for calls to/from the same contact.
My old Sony phone had an option to "only show most recent call" for each contact.
Is there any way to do this on Android?
Basically, if I have 150 calls to/from my wife, I'd like the call log to only show the most recent one.
