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??

Need some help or advise on a missing feature on 6.1 standard smart dialer that existed on 6.0.
On 6.0 once you search for a contact using the smart dialer if you press down the on the d-pad it will not dial the contact but will open up the contact so you can email or txt pretty quickly. That was way faster than opening up contacts and searching for someone. If you wanted to call just had to press the SEND button.
But on 6.1 when you press the d-pad down it simply dials and the only way to txt is to touch and hold on the search result and even then it will only allow you to text but not email.
I was wondering whether there's a reg hack to get this feature enabled on the new 6.1 smart dialer.
just d-pad down to the contact and d-pad right until u see txt
Thanks for the quick reply but D-Pad left or right will only cycle through the numbers nothing else
hmm are u sure...i'm not doubting just tryin to help
but for me lets say i have a mobile and home number for a contact i just highlight it and on the right it shows m for mobile..i d-pad right to h for home and again to txt if i wanna text the contact
I know you are and thank you
I am quite confused now because I had the same feature (D-Pad right to text and hold down to open contact) on 6.0 are you also using 6.1 and the same dialer build?
i'm using winmo 6.1 i'm trying to find out what build i'm using
Same problem here. With WM6.0 you only have to press the d-pad to open the contact. Once you opened, i got the chance to send sms, send e-mail or make a call. With WM6.1 this ist missing! I think this is probably only a value i have to change in the registry, but where?
If you use the original WM6.1 dialer instead of the Touch dialer it will do exactly what you are looking for.
For some reason when I press the down on my d-pad with the Touch dialer it opens up the last call list, and does not scroll through the contacts list.
I see your in CA so video dial is not really a possibility anyways. If you have KaiserTweak or Shap's Advance Config, set your dialer skin to the WM6.1 dialer instead and see if this fixes your problem.
I flashed the original HTC WM6.1 Rom, and yes, the original WM6.1 Dialer works how i want. But this doesn't look really great, does it?
I am now using DxC dialer with smart dial patch and is working great. Only thing missing is the smart dial in landscape mode. This one is way faster but still miss the HTC dialer :-(
It is only a little vaue in the registry, can't nobody help?
Nobody out there who can solve this problem ?
Perhaps somebody can upload the smart dialer exe file from the oroginal WM6.0 Rom? I would be glad, thx !!
Can please, somebody with WM6.0, look up in his registry an tell me the value's for Smart Dialer ? So i can compare the two version with each other. THX
Push,
something new?
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.....

No one has a solution for this
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
Mike
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.
I have a huge problem. After I updated to GB, my smart dialer seems to be broken. When I start tapping numbers, no contacts start filtering out, then delete what I tapped and press on the info field and it gives me info about smart dialing. I start the process again and nothing happens, erase the numbers, tap on the info, I get the info, I remove the message telling me how smart dialing is and then it works as it should. It looks like a hickup but I am out of ideas on how to solve it.
