Dialing from calendar or sms message inbox ?

Hello
i am new here,just switch from palm.
Is there a software or a way to dial a number direct from a message in my sms or directly from a meeting note in the agenda??
Thank you and your forum is very usefull
No.
Use copy&paste
When we use the contact function, hightlight the one we want to dial, then push Green dial button, the contact telephone will appear on the dialing screen. push Green dial button again, the number will be dialed.
This applies to my Mini
And for SMS you can also use the Green phone button.
Either with the message highligted in Inbox, or with the message opended.
when i hightlight and push the green button it only open the phone aplication but no number to dial ?
Thank you

Frustrating - Anyone know how to make a call or edit a contact from an SMS??

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.

sms and T9 bug

When i enter an sms the t9 automatically gives me suggestions for words.
which is fine.
when i send my sms the last suggestions stays open. it covers the sms i just send and i cannot clearly see if i have sent the sms or not.
also it indicates that i should send my sms, because the suggestion is seen as a new sms.
is there a way to close the t9 suggestion when the send button is pressed?
I haven't tried it yet, but there is an option where you get a confirmation when your sms is sent.
Maybe that will solve your issue?
i have noticed this as well. If you don't press the centre button to select the last suggestion before you send, the suggestion bar stays there.
not exactly the end of the world, and once i got used to pressing the centre button when i had finished typing, instead of not selecting the word and just hitting send, it has never happened again.
not perfect, but you just need to learn to hit the centre button instead of just hitting send without selecting the word you want.

Call back the sender of a text message?

Stupid question, I bet..
But I can't find this simple option.. if someone sends me a text message, I find it really difficult to call them instead of replying with a text message. I have to store their number first and then call them like a regular contact. Is there a faster way of doing this?
Thanks.
Just press Call (left) hardkey while reading that sms

I tried that, it gives me the dialer, but it doesn't call, nor copy the number so it could call...
i have the same problem
i have to copy and paste the number in the dialer
quite disappointing
you can just push the person's name...
You can by pressing the call button after opening the message, not from TF3D.

SMS in touchflo...

Never used to have that problem in diamond, if i receive a message from my call screen to call someone (when they leave their number), in my ex-diamond, i used to be able to dial that number directly from the message that originated from call screen.
As for the diamond 2, it is really sux! i have to hit all messages and then go to that message (from call screen) and then hit the number that i need to dial...
has anyone done any tweak to that? or any solution?
thanks
i have been here...but was not usefull

push please!
If you mean you receive a text message and want to call the person back who sent you the message then all you have to do is press the dial key when you are looking at the message it will then open the dial screen with the texters number ready to dial out.....
bishbosh.
Text Message - Numbers Within Text
Yes I have reported this to HTC. If you turn off touchflow and ask the sender to simply resend the same message the telephone number within the body of the text its now blue and you can select it and then dail it. It seems to be touchflow issue.

Ah! I see. In touchflow you can only view the received message and reply to it.
