At minimum, 5 fiddly clicks from the Today screen to editing a new SMS.
Anyone know a good short-cut?
Please ignore me...

thanks!
this already have an open thread with 2 cabs in it I perfer the cab I posted but anyway try searching first next time buddy!
You may want to check out PocketCM. I love the interface and the Threaded SMS view. Very simple and clean.
You simply click contacts, click the contact and then click SMS. there you will see all sms conversations (which you can scroll) your messages are a different color then the contacts and a text input area at the bottom where you just start typing and click send.
I know this isn't what you were talking about but i have gotten very use to this and found it much faster after using it for a couple of months.

As I mentioned in one of the other threads, what I do is start with the contact... from the Today screen, click contacts, select your contact whichever way you like to do, then select "send text message". You're now at the point of editing a new text message. Since all the steps you did to select a contact you would have had to do anyway, those clicks were all "free". This is actually much shorter than if you had the "new" command that people are clamoring for.
Hello
I have entered Contact Pictures in PI 2007 for some key contacts, but they show up only from time to time in the HTC dial pad or the contact history.
Has somebody else this problem as well ?
1:5 times when I browse the contacts in the HTC dialer I see my contact pictures, either in HTC dialer or in the details page .. but most times not.
Same with Call history.. sometime the picture is there .. most times only a grey shadow placeholder.
Softreset is not changing the situation .. any ideas for help ?
i have a similar thing going on. only i can't get a picture to stick after adding it in contacts.

Ok, if I am missing something you guys can flame me for ever.
but....
go to ur contacts.. how do you call them from there?
u can edit them, get their nifty updates that i could really care less about. but you cannot initiate the call from your contacts view.
you have to go to your home page or the next page, then hit the phone tile then search in phone book at that point.
Which brings me to another point.. every touch phone I have used, even old non touch nokias let you either scroll on the side of the list to the name you want faster then scrolling through the entire alphabet, or type the letters of names to jump to them.
Both of those functions I do not see..
The more I use this phone, its becoming a glorified tile play thingy with a simple phone feature... am i missing something great here?

To start a call... you tap the text that says "call mobile" or whichever number you are trying to call under the contact's entry. That text seems rather self explanatory...
And to jump quickly to a certain letter, you tap any of the letter headings, and then tap the letter you want to jump to.
Also, there's a search symbol at the top of the contacts page, allowing you to search within contacts .. or, you could press the search hard key when in contacts view.
Thanks guys, did a reboot and then it started showing numbers for my contacts, when I first imported them, it showed their names, and profile to click on but no numbers or options to call or text them.
The scroller is a bit odd, cause if ur half way through the B's for example u have to get down to C, catch that little blue C and then select N's if that is what is needed.
Good luck doing that on the high way.
Question on email, how do you select all? on HD2, you go to options and select all and it would select all the emails listed, and easy to remove or delete.
Also how do you view several email accounts without having to go back to the home page tiles?
I run 3 diff email addies for my businesses, and really annoying to having to go go to home page every time to change which one Im viewing.
Crazy the book sais nothing of this.
Thanx
I have added my Live contact and outlook contact into my phone.
Is there a feature which allow me to filter and hide all my live contact.
I stored all my business contact in outlook, having live contact is expanding my contact list and making me confuse..
If your live account is the default account that you set the phone up with then no, I don't think there's a way to hide them at the moment.

have you read the manual or clicked on the text that shows up on first boot with tips and tricks???
If you click on people, you can click on the first blue letter/symbol to get the popup of the alphabet to sort.
Maybe you shouldn't drive and talk on your phone?
You cannot combine all the emails on this phone.
You also cannot select all messages, but if you press on the left of the message, check boxes appear and you can select or deselect messages, then delete, mark as read, mark as unread, move to folder.

ive read the manual, the full one that u dl of of htc site,
the reason i ask is because select all in email, or select diff email accounts from eamil view pane is basic features that ever phone I have ever used has had, even old nokias that were not smart phones, HD2 has that ability.
On select all, hell every phone dating back from the old 6190's had that on SMS and email.
Just surprised that this phone does not have that, its like many basic features are missing from a release model, which to me is dumb, why release a half done product.
Im not asking for special features, but if they put out the phone in a hurry for the holiday season, at least make it competitive with other OS's.
Ill give them that its simple, almost to simple cant even choose normal colors for your tiles, just girly ones, or make the colors different in ways that it looks interesting, but features like select all, copy, paste, multi tasking and (in contacts list ) the ability to scroll through letter choices without having to catch a blue letter should be there. I have over 340 contacts, so if i am half way through my list of J's and I need to jump to N, i have to scroll up or down to get to I or down to K to then select one and get the letters mode, then select which letter and hope its the right one while doing it on the move. Not efficient.

.........or you could click the Search button, which is always there, and be done with it.
WP7 does have voice command.. Perhaps instead of having to look down at your phone while driving you could use your hands free set and hold down Start to call whoever you want. Just a thought .
i just use the voice command lol
I have been using my new Moto x for 2 days now and like it so far. There is one thing however I have yet to figure out, when i swipe down w/ two fingers there is a big contact icon there but if press it it tells me the contact does not exist, how do i go about setting this button to one of my contacts ?

It's not one of your contacts, it's the profile logged in. On phones I believe it's only allowing one profile (yours) and on tablets it shows which profile is currently active/logged in. Set up your Google + profile.

Looks great. Does it support the lock screen?
Good thing? ?
Is it possible to have smaller pictures, or choice to select picture size in the future Or have 4x4, 4x2, etc. ?
I like to see more favorite contacts at once on home screen.

I'll see what i can do with the smaller pictures.
Lock screen mode is enabled also
Good widget:good:
Awesome widget! The only thing I wish it had is an option to force a confirmation pop-up window when clicking on a contact. or something like that. I find myself calling people by accident when I put the phone back in my pocket.
Cheers!
I don't know if this is possible with future updates but I figured I'd throw it out there:
It would be cool if this app could somehow pull data from Calendars or Facebook and let you know "its so-and-so's birthday today" as a reminder for you to call them.

Frank hi.
I doubt that that facebook option will possible since it require network access.
that widget require phone book and call log access that along are Invasive permissions with network access that even worse.
after saying that if the community will ask for that I will check what I can do.
Hi first of all, thank you... Looks good... can you please awnser if it works on locksreen?
