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.

In T3DFlo, how to call the no. of the message i am reading?

Dear Bro,
I am a Nokia convert to Diamond, i was wondering when i received an sms and i would like to call that no. instead of reply, is there a shortcut way?
Cos used to it in Nokia when i view an sms i can just press the call button to call the no. which the sms from.
But in T3DFlo, i can't, is there anyway? or any tweak or software which i can do?
Thanks in Advance.

Just click on the persons name/number at the top of the text thread. That will then open the call history log with that person and you can press call to phone them.

Thanks unwire54, but your method only works if the person is already in my contact list, if the person is not in the contact list it will prompt me to add the person to my contact list... if i click no it will dismissed and i back in the message window, cannot call.
Hence i need a way / tweak / app to allow me to call the no. (which the sms was sent from), no matter whether the person is in my contact list.
Is there a way?

anyone knows?

go to the sms, be sure you are in the reply box but dismissed the keypad and press the call button. another method is go to all message scroll down to the message but not opening it and then press the call button

THank you very much, I have learnt very well xDD
But I think that touch flow3d needs improvements, because I would prefer to can call without enter in windows mobile's interface

yea i agree

In my old Wizard when you where reading a message just pressed the call button and it asks for number confimation and then press call againan you will dial the person that set the message.
However I thinks its not posible via Touchflo3D app, you need to be in the messages already.

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.

Reject call with text message, not auto?

Hi!
I'm kinda new here so bare with me...
i've searched without any luck to finding the answer to my question...
When someone calls me, the diamond gives me the choice to reject the call and texting the caller with a predefined message...the problem is that i have to actually send the damn message after haning up...wich kinda takes the whole idea away of having the phone doing it...
Now, is there anyway i can make the damn sms get sent without me having to actually click the send button?? just reject the call and let the phone do the job?

Come on, somebody has got to have had the same issue?

Go to Settings.. Phone... Advanced (right at the right hand end) then de-select "Reject call with text message"

i think you misunderstood me, i don´t want to turn off the feature, just make it do the whole procedure and not stop right before the message gets sent.

Uncheck the option to edit the text message, on the advance tab.

Well nobody is understanding what he is saying.
This is a good idea, infact i also wanted to do the same thing.
What we want is that as soon as we reject the call with send text button phone should directly send the message to the caller (with predefined text) without opening the predefined compose messsage and then we click send again to let the sms shoot to the caller.
I think this feature wont be possible with soft reject or hard reject key coz then it will send sms to each and every caller or even to landline caller. There should be other soft key just like "Send Text" soft key where we press it and automatically phone sends the sms to the caller.
Hope i am able to explain.

problem with "call sms blocker"

Hi,
I've found the software "call sms blocker". It had been made to block incoming unwanted calls and logged it... hide private sms...
I've attent to configure it but no way ! it does not stop anything that incoming !
Have you test it ? with success ???

yes. I use it and it works perfectly. It is an awesome program.
The way i have it setup is I have it set to accept all and then I make a custom list of numbers to reject. In this custom list I added all my phonebook contacts. Its kind of confusing but you have to remember that your phone only replies via sms to REJECTED calls/ and or sms. So yeah it sems weird to say reject contacts but this is what u need to do if you want your phone to send an automatic sms reply back to your contact.
So i did this for both calls and sms. I set both to ACCEPT under the "status" tab. then go into each tab "call" and "sms" and create new lists within each. Do this by tapping and holding in the window area and say ADD. Name it, make it REJECT, and make the action Hangup. Then go down to "List" (right soft key) and select number>add>phonebook. You can then check all the numbers from your phonebook that you want to add. Then also under "List" (right soft key) you can go into Advance Opt and set your custom message.
Repeat for the "sms" tab. Tap and hold in window area to make a new list. Name it, make it REJECT type, and I say "move to blocked" for action type. (this creates a new folder in your inbox of your messages so it makes it easy to find the sms that the program blocked. Add numbers from your phonebook same as I said above.
Now one thing to keep in mind. When I first started using this program I found that it only responded to my missed calls and not sms. What I discovered was that all the numbers for the sms list had to have a 1 in front of the number so that it looked like this 1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx. Whereas for my call list, the numbers in the list are like this (xxx) xxx-xxxx. For some reason I dont know why, this makes a difference.
So give it a try. I hope this helps you.
