is dialing without touch screen possible? - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General

Hi,
are there any applications or tweaks to make the phone screen buttons selectable with the hardware cursor buttons and the centre button to press them?
At the moment speed dial menu comes up which is ok but I would prefer to press phone and cursor around the screen selecting the numbers then press phone again to make the call.
I want to be able to dial a number without opening my hard case.
Thanks.
Ian

What about voice command? If you don't have all the buttons accessible in your case you can re-map one.

Phone manual dialing
anyone else had any joy on this?
I tried SPC phone suite and Shell both of which improve general one hand usability but not for dialing.
SPB Shell has a contact search screen with cursor key driven use of phone pad buttons but bot for the dialer of the phone - I asked them to look into it.
Voice command - any trial version available?

I love Voice Command, worthy the $. There is no need to train the app, it recognizes all of your contacts immediately.

I need someone to develop a program for the Kaiser

Basically the program has to do the following:
1- I want the RED (front facing) "call end" button to work like the Treo 750. So pressing it while in the Today screen switches off the phone, pressing it again switches the phone on. Pressing it while in an application takes you to the today screen.
2- After doing that then we don't need the hidden phone on/off button so we can make it into a silent/mute button. So a long press on this button while the phone is either on or off will put the phone in silent mode, also very similar to the Treo's profile slider.
Anyone reading this is up to the challenge?
Anyone here has any other requests? Let's make a list and see who is up to the challenge.

Not up to it, but why'd you want that. Switch phone/flight mode can be assigned to any hw button except call or call end, assign the same button(hold) for mute/unmute and there you are.
Call/end call buttons not being assignable is a hardware limitation, accordig to spb software house (pocket+).

Ok so how can I assign the mute/unmute to a hardware button as I can't find it in the settings--->buttons' drop down menu?
I use spb pocket plus to assign buttons. It has the mute option standard in its list of button tasks. There might be freeware apps that let you do the same, but I don't know them (as I allready had a copy of spb pocketplus from my previous windows mobile device)
Edit: AE Button plus seems to be a freeware app that can do what you want...

And if "hold" is a suitable alternative to mute, you don't have to do anything... pressing in the volume button toggles the call on/off hold. At least on my Tilt.

AE Button worked well. Now I can mute/unmute at a touch of a button. I haven't tried its full potential yet.
Thanks for the great tip.
Still though I wouldn't mind a power feature like the Treo. I do not like that itty bitty recessed power botton on the right...
On a side note I'm going to try and see if there is a reg key on the Treo I can copy to the Kaiser where when you are in PIE and hold the action button it pops up the IE menu. That's nice. Not sure why its only on the Treo. I guess for it's one handed nature... What, I don't get to use my Kaiser with a one handed nature in mind?...

Hmmm, that might be a useful map for AE button... for the side "ok" button, map a double-click to the left softkey, and press/hold to the right one (and single-click stock OK). Between that and the scroll wheel, that should make for some pretty easy one handed operation.
Just tested it.. works well, though the side OK button is a bit stiff/recessed to easily double-click with a thumb. May take some getting used to.
Hey guys,
I think i have found what your looking for. I also needed to toggle my Flight mode by a button because since most ROM versions of WM5 and WM6 Flight mode can`t be switched by tapping the signal meter at the top of the screen.
I installed this app and linked it to Button 6/Recording (Press & Hold) and now it switches Flight Mode On and Off. This is what i needed.
Look here: http://toosten.de/index.php?seite=sw&id=7
Have fun with it
One thing for now i noticed. When activating Flight Mode, it just turns off the Phone Signal and not BT when enabled. I am contacting the author of teh tool to see if some options can be added.

Mute Button

Is it possible to program one of the hot keys to be a phone mute/unmute button, or is there a need to create an app?
I'll check out if I can make an app out of it tomorrow unless anyone posts anything different. I made a key lock app for the PTT soft button. I might make it mute your call if you're in a call or lock your phone if you're not. Anyway, lets hope it can be done without an app or with an app and you'll have it by tomorrow evening. Do you have the Tilt, Tytn, or Vario?
Thanks for your prompt response. I have an unlocked TYTN II.
You might not have a PushToTalk button. Got any of the other buttons in mind? You can map it to whatever, and I'll check it out tomorrow. See my first post titled "First Post / KeyLock" for my keylock app and a link on how to map the PTT button. Other buttons should be similarly mapped.
Would like to use the green phone button for this purpose.
I'm interested in this too (I swear I live on concalls for work right now). Either the green button or the ok button on the side of the phone. But I'm curious, will the phone have to be "on" (ie: not sleeping) for this to work? Currently I use the reTOUCHed dialer and just go to Call Status screen and tap the mute / unmute toggle on the screen to do this (which works well since they are bigger buttons than the default dialer on the Tilt). But having it mapped to a hardware button would be very nice.
Was there ever any progress on this? I'd like to assign the PTT button to mute/unmute during a call. I am constantly on conference calls and having to use the touchscreen to do this is ridiculous.

looking for two different cabs

Hello
I am a new owner of an att tilt. I believe it is the same as the tytnII. I am looking for two cabs to install on my phone.
1) a cab that lets me assign a button to switch between vibrate, silent, and ring. I found vibra switch, but it does not include silent.
2) a cab or program that allows me to assign a call log feature to a button. I use the call log quite frequently on my old phone.
Thank you for anyone that can give a newbie a suggestion
Adam
both of those can easily be accessed without cabs.
1- if you have the htc home screen, just press on the symbol that looks like a phone with a music symbol beside it, and it'll give you the option of switching profiles
2- just click the green talk button and then press up on the dpad
want the button press
Thank you for the response.
I have not tried htc homescreen yet. It appears to have a large clock and a tab system of the today screen that I am not fond of. Am I able to leave the today screen basically like it is with that program?
Also I want to be able to map these functions to a button. The reason for this is for easy access while driving. I feel a button press and using the jog wheel is a lot more accurate and requires less attention.
Thank you
Adam Birozy

HTC Home, Contacts tab, preventing accidental autodialling?

Is there any way to make the people icons in the Contacts tab of HTC Home jump to the phone screen with the contact set ready to dial, but wait for you to press the Green call button before it actually dials? It's far too easy to accidentally dial someone via that panel with an inadvertant touch at present. It's still a handy way to get to your favourite contacts quickly, but I'd much prefer the 'safety net' of having to press the green button to actually initiate the call. Is there such an option?

Any one have Voice Command working (soft key?)

I believe at one point I could assign MS Voice Command to an icon and add the icon the programs list, it now only appears under buttons and I have to use my only available hard button to get it to launch. Why cant they make that big middle button a press and hold option as well?
Any ideas?
TIA

Voice Command on Diamont
Have you tried using AEBUTTON PLUS? You can assign the center button to anything. I havent installed Voice Command yet but I do have Aebutton plus working on the center button to launch PI Informant Calendar. It should work with voice command also.
Press and hold the "green" call key.. While on the hope screen.. You'll get the voice command running
That's interesting, I couldn't get it to install properly. Can only see it in settings and not in programs.
i just figured out how to get it to work....
vc1.6 i installed it 5 times and did not work after i assigned my only f))king button it just one beep not like used to 3 beeps so i create a icon in programs dir and then link button to that it works perfect.
