Hi all,
I was wondering if there's a way to configure wm6 or via an additional program where when it detects a phone number in a calendar appt., email, text, etc. it adds a link and you can dial directly from the app. I thought I saw this feature in some ROM I tried a few weeks back but can't remember which.
Appreciate any feedback.
Thank you.
Seconded. I thought I could at least copy/paste from an appointment into the dialer, but the pop-up keyboard is disabled in the dialer app. And I don't know how to "ctrl-c" with the Kaiser keyboard.

Numbers in messages are normally underlined and when you quick tap them (not tap and hold )they are passed to the phone verification screen which asks if it is correct to dial (ie country and area code OK) and you just hit the green call button. This function is default on all WM devices.
Have you added some software that has changed this?

Thanks, I'm not aware of anything. I'm using a t-mobile mda vario iii.
Does this feature appear in calendar notes etc or just email?
thanks

just tested it, works fine in email but not in calendar? damn thats total pants! What ever could the developers be thinking.
/sigh , I'm really trying to like this device and get used to it (i have 7 days) but so far there are little things like this which I use daily which will make my use of it so annoying.

I'd love to be able to tap on a number in my calendar notes to dial..
All my appointments and contact details are stored in the calendar yet I have to write the number down, exit calendar and go to the dialer.
I don't recall ever being able to do it with any version of WM.
Hello here,
I have lost Autocomplete of Contacts when writing a name in the To: Field of an Sms message.
I have Fun Contact installed, which gives the contacts an iPhone type look, since then it's been playing up. I have since uninstalled this, but it still doesn't provide suggestions of names in my contacts list, when I begin to type a name in the To field.
It's very annoying and one of my favourite features of using Sms on Windows Mobile.
Any Suggestions would be really appreciated.
Regards.

Does other predictive input work fine with your default keyboard? One more thing, when you try entering a contact name, the predictive function searches only for the contacts with numbers entered in the "mobile number" field. Check if your contact has the number there.
Regards,
Carty..
I lost that feature when I installed touch keyboard + keypad from dutty's collection
but after uninstalling them its fine now
Hey Carty,
Thanks, that's something I hadn't checked. My other predictive imput isn't working either. I have an idea why it might be. I downloaded KaiserTweak and, changed quiet a few things with it.
I set the Autocomplete to suggest me 6 words and this option is not available from the Drop down menu in the settings menu Of WordComplete.
It is not working anymore even though I have set them both to 3 words and after entering 3 letters. I have since Soft reset the device? Help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Found the Answer
As I was saying I had made some changes with the KaiserTeaks app.
One of the changes I had made was to Enable XT9 under the Text Message options.
I realised this just now as I was going through the options and have set it to disable XT9, which is the default and this has fixed the problem
Hope this helps someone out there.
thanks y0u5uf,
will try it out seems like your suggestion is the easiest way out since i installed app like kaiser tweak, touch keyboard+keypad
is there any way that i can erase the words that i have wrote in my predictive text, are they stored somewhere where i can just go into and delete them, i want to start all over??
nvm i got it lol sorry
SMS Input
I have a similar issue. When I enter a character in the "to" field I dont get a list of choices to pick from. BUT, if I hit backspace and erased a character the names and/or numbers pop up.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can fix this?
I got my Diamond last Thursday and have been using it with my secondary sim whilst I got used to the phone and became used to using it intuitively... I am happy to say I am now completely comfortable with it and it is *almost* perfect!
Changes:
*Bepe 0.97 FIXED
*Diamond Advance Config tool
*S2U2
*Comm Manager advance.
Thank you to all the great people working to made this device all it should be! Donations forthcoming very soon!
I have just a few questions with regard to my remaining issues:
*The contacts summary page which comes up after ending a call, any way to suppress that?
*Is there any way to bluetooth contacts, files (pictures/music etc) to and from another mobile phone? I tried transferring a jpg image, an MP3 ringtone and a contact via bluetooth from a Sony Ericsson W880i but all three failed!
*Is there any way to display contacts as FORENAME SURNAME as opposed to SURNAME, FORENAME?
Thank you in advance for any advice regarding the above
Anyone?????
Think I might be able to help you out there.
1. To get rid of that contacts thing at the end of a call, tap Phone on the Home screen, then tap Menu and then Options. Go to the Advanced tab right at the end and untick "Add new phone number to Contacts at end of call".
2. To receive files of any kind over bluetooth, you have to have Bluetooth turned on in the Comm Manager, but you also need to have the Beam option turned on. If you have the modified Comm manager then you should be able to see the Beam option in there.
3. All my contacts show up as "forename surname" already, I think it might be to do with how you have it set up in Outlook, because I remember Outlook had it "surname, forename" by default and that drove me mad until I changed it. Hunt around in Outlook to change the way they're displayed, then do a sync, and I'd say that should do it.
Dave
Thanks for taking the time to reply Dave!
The contact summary still seems to come up I did untick this box a few days ago and maybe its a bug but the screen still appears on finishing a call.
I turned on Beam and the bluetooth file transfer now works just fine, thank you!
I will sync up when I get home and have a play around with Outlook, thanks for the suggestion I think that will remedy this problem too.
Is there an advanced contact manager or SMS manager out there by chance? Sending and receiving a few SMS today and the whole transition from TF3d to the WM is a bit jarry, and browsing contacts isnt really possible without the stylus... so far these are the only small niggles in day to day use! The latest version of S2U2 really helps usability and allows you to lock the hardware buttons when you get an incoming call... no more calls answered by mistake with this app!
No bother.
I never manually browse the contacts list because it scrolls very strangely, its impossible to successfully pick a contact.
The best way to select a contact when sending a text, I've found, is to type the first letter or two of their name, eg "DA" and then everyone with a name starting with DA is listed, eg DAD, DAVE etc. Much better than scrolling a list. Its the same behaviour when making a call and you want to select a contact; just bring up the Phone app (the one with the keypad) and start typing their name on the number pad.
I agree though that the process of moving from TF3D to WM6 when sending a text is very clunky. I wonder would HTC consider developing their own TouchFlo messaging software that covers all aspects of sending SMS and email. Unfortunately the iPhone still has the advantage there; you still have to get out the stylus every now and then on the Diamond.
I have most of my most frequently used numbers under the People tab in TF3D... good suggestions as above though.
May give this a try if I cant get along with the SMS...

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 ?
I am currently running TPC's stock like 6.5 ROM. I love that it is light and fast. The only problem that I have is with TXT messaging. I don't have M2D, just a shortcut on the today screen
There are two many steps needed to send a message. I have a shortcut to open messages, then I need to select the SMS/MMS over email account, then I need to select the conversation I want then type message. This is not bad and I know it probably can't be shortened by but only a step.
Pictures are a whole new story. I have to open messaging, select SMS/MMS, go to menu/new MMS, then add the picture, then add recipient, then send. This is because the option to add picture in the threaded conversation is grayed out.
Oddly my wife has an Palm Treo 680. I don't like the phone but it is awesome for texting. Is there any software out there that is better for texting? I ahve searched for hours, and all I get is old programs that thread the messaging before WM6 I am going to start my trial and error with ROMS, but if anyone can point me in a direction for software because I like TPC's ROM, everything else seems to work so well.
I have found this program:
Treo 800w Threaded SMS GMS Beta
I will see how it works.
Edit: I didn't work
