Hi,
I have the diamond for about a month now and love it. Only one problem: If I want to access my voice mail at work, I need to double press th * button when my message starts...But it does not work. The first time I press it, it works, but the second tap displays a "p" and no sound...If you go in the dialer, even without being in a call, and try to double press *, it happens too.
Any help ?
Thanks
Steph.
no one ?
really ? No one ?

I had problems paging people thru hospital paging system where you have to keep dialing numbers. Try changing form short DTMF tones to long DTMF tones. It has worked since I did that.

Has anyone figured out a registry tweak so that the keypad doesn't disappear after you dial a number on the Tilt. There must be a way to fix it - I notice when I push 1 for speed dial to call my voicemail the keypad remains on the screen, but when I dial any other number it disappears. This is one of the few annoyances I haven't been able to fix on my Tilt. Thanks.
Keep keypad when calling . . .

Excellent first question!
I don't know the answer, but I'd like to know, too.
Obviously you can hit the left softkey for "Keypad" but that's an extra step that one might prefer not to have to do, but rather have the keypad remain showing, and have the left softkey option be "Call Status"
If you call a lot of numbers where you have to enter more numbers when prompted, this might be the preferred default.
No one knows? I'd love to change this as well.
This is the first "fix" i need to do.
HTC should sort this out and provide a fee down load. They are silly to think it would not be a problem .
There is a fix etc.. but its part of a big bundle of stuff that scares most "newbies" away.
Can someone not make a simple fix just for this problem with a very easy method to download and set up etc
I am sure that many members do not have the technical minds of most of you!
I read about / tried all the best key-mapping programs (AE Button, hButton, etc.), but I couldn't figure out how do to this..
When I press a certain button once, I want the phone to automatically call a certain contact, without asking for any confirmation. Ideally, announce the name of the contact being called, but no big deal if it doesn't.
Press the same button twice, 3 times, etc. -- the call is placed to other contacts I specify in advance.
I'm just trying to make the PDA car-friendly.. While driving, I still much prefer my $50 Nokia cell phone, which had easy single-button-hold quick-dial.
Thank you for any suggestion..
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.
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.
Does anyone know a dialer app that can force you to press the hard key dial button before actually making a call?
I have inesoft dialer and I like the contacts and favorites interfaces, but I have made so many calls by accident that I have lost count. This one-key dialing is much too troublesome.
I want an app that when I touch my contact/favorite it will prompt me and wait for me to press the hard key. This seems a very simple way to avoid accidental dialing, but I can't find any app that does it.
Thanks for any info.
Lock your phone .
I somehow got an entry for my wife on my favorites screen twice this afternoon. I thought it seemed reasonable that I should delete the second entry, so I tried. I dialed her three times unintentionally because every time I touched the damn entry it dialed her number.
She is still in there twice.
Locking the screen might prevent pocket dialing, if I really wanted to deal with some stupid unlock screen every time I pull the thing out to check work messages, which I don't.
How about I just have my valet carry the phone and do all the dialing for me.
