I have more phone numbers in one contact.
I am searching in the phon a contact and i get one of the phon numbers, i stored in the contact.
How can i select (switch to) an another number of the contact.

In dialer use left/right arrow on selected contact. Small letter indicates type of selected number.
if i touch to the left or right arrow, the dialer is dialing the preselected number.
Or simply press the found contact and select which number to call.
I am searching in the dialer.
The contact is on the screen.
If i touch to the contact, the dialer is dialing.
If i touch to the arrow, the dialer is dialing.
If i select the menu, i cannot open the contact.
Dont search in the dialer... Go to contacts-all contacts and you'll get everything. The dial menu is just a call history, not a list of your contacts (its the same list as in home-call history).
OK, i am searching in the dialer.
If I go to contacts-all contacts and I get everything, but not with TouchFLO, not touchabel with fingers.
In the dialer I get all contacts, not only the history. I like it. One or two touches and i have most time the right number.
I hoped for a little help.
When instructed to "use left/right arrow on selected contact", you should be using the arrows around the circular action button, not the tiny arrows on the screen. It works perfectly.
Wow, thank you!!
It works!
I also have more phone numbers in one contact.
but even after a hard reset i still can't select (switch to) an another number of the contact without dialing.
magic circle does not work!
I have a T-Mobile MDA phone.
Must be a reg hack to change the phone select.

I know this function because I always used it with my old WM (Wizard, Tytn II) phones, but now when I search a contact wich I have allready called it gives only the history result and not the contact. On the history line you can't use the left or right key....
Is there a way to let de phonepad search give only the contacts and no history?
Or it has to give both.....

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.
I can't find a thing anywhere on this problem I am having with my new, virgin, unaltered Sprint Touch Pro.
From the home screen I press "phone" (just under the TF3D bar) which brings up the dialer, then I press "contacts" (just under the * key),which brings up the contacts and the software keyboard. I then start to spell "gary" and when I get to the r in gary it dials and starts a call to "Delmarva Gas" which is an entry in my contacts list. Does it every time....... Bizarre
Only does this with the software keyboard, not the hardware/slider board.
Does it if i go staight to contacts also.
Does anyone else's do this??
Any Idea's??
I really like the diamond (Ignito) but using it to dial people (in touchflo) or contacts (via Windows) is a nightmare. far too often I end up dialling someone when I'm trying to scroll using the touch screen. And the basic Windows contact manager is all too small scale to use without a stylus.
Has anyone got any advice or better still an alternative app that will let me use the touch screen and a big list in a reliable way. My daughter's Samsung Tocco is just a dream to use in comparison.
Thanks

You can use Resco Contact Manager. The beta is free and usable with touch function. Try it! You can enable/disable Resco Contact manager to handle calls, contacts, etc in settings
http://www.resco.net/pocketpc/contactmanager/default.asp
The Screenshot is on the website as well.
Thanks Satus - will try that now
Mike
personally i never use the contacts tab to dial out. I just press the phone key then use the dialer keypad to start typing the first letters of the person im trying to dial then hit call. much faster than trying to scroll and no need for the stylus..
tried Resco contacts last night and I love it. Scrolling seems somehow much less sensitive and even if you do make an accidental press, all it does is pop-up the contact with 4 big buttons for dial, sms, email, and something else. If you hit the big back arrow in the corner it takes you back to your scroll list at the point you were previously
Thanks again Satus

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.
A bit of a step backwards from my perspective on the dialer vs. kitkat. I most often dial a number by spelling the name on the dialer pad, opening the contact then select, home, work mobile, etc. Is there some process analog on the new dialer. The only even loosely similar one I can find is to search contact with regular spelling (not dialpad) and this automatically brings up all numbers for a given contact.
Also, is there anyway to default the dialer to always open to the dialpad?
Thanks much.

Ugh, the functionality is built in... at least for the first part. When the hits begin showing up based on numbers dialed, simply touch the text/middle of the contact to dial the listed/primary number and the picture or letter icon on the far left to open the contact and choose the desired number. Wow, I'm glad this isn't a step backward.
