Call History

is there a way to make the call history list show only the most recent call from a contact, instead of listing all of them?

Call history query
Hi,
Did you manage to resolve this issue? I find it annoying myself and would really like to if there is a solution to this.

If you disable the phone skin, you can get the calls and contacts list in the phone window (the way WM6 has). There you can tap on one entry and get to the list of previous calls from that contact.

Select diferent phone numbers

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.....

Contacts dialing strangely

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??

problem with touchflo and contacts

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

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

Calling from contacts list

I seem to have a recurring issue. I can not make a phone call from my contacts list. If I go to my contacts and tap call mobile or call home it does not launch the phone. It does nothing. If I tap email or sms it works fine. The only way I can make a phone call is to manually type the number in. I have tried different roms from different people and I have the same issue.
Has anyone come across this? Is this a common issue ? Is there a fix for it ?

Might be able to help out more if we knew what ROM you are using. I do not have this issuse and have used Miri, Duttys and PhamQuang ROMs.

I have used the wm6.5 energy Leo rom, I 've used Miri's 6.5 v9 manila 2.5 rom and Dutty's 6.5 R4 rom and they have all done the samething. Right now I currently have Dutty's 6.5 Leo R4(MSVC) rom installed. The funny this is that at first it worked just fine but when I started adding the contacts I used the most to the quick launch in the contacts list is when this started happening. The other roms did it right off the bat.

what other programs do you have installed on your phone? do you have other apps that include contacts functionality? also, are you trying to call from the Manila contacts app or the Windows contacts app? can you call contacts that are not on your People (Favorites) page? i have no problems initiating calls from the Windows and Manila contact apps by tapping "Call Mobile", "Call Home", etc. given your issue is not ROM specific, i'm inclined to believe its related to software or something stored with your contacts.

i have no other contact apps installed. i can not make any calls from quick contact list or from the "all people" list

after you flash a ROM, how are you reloading your contacts? if syncing, what is the source? after your next flash, i recommend adding a few contacts manually (3-5) and then determine if you can initiate calls from the by tapping "Call Mobile", "Call Home", etc. if you can, then reload your existing contacts and try initiating calls again. if it doesn't work, then the next item (in the process of elimination steps) is to review your contacts for info that could be causing the problem. fyi, i'm using MS Exchange to store and reload my contacts after flashing a ROM.

I am syncing with my PC and pulling my contacts from outlook. does it make a difference if you add a contact to the favorites list having the phone number or sms number as the number saved to quick contacts ?
I just noticed that if I go to start menu, click contacts, I can make calls that way.
The only apps I have installed is, tomtom7, slide to unlock and tweak HD

OK I finally found the problem In tweak HD if you go down to 1.8 phone pad style. I had it set to windows because i don't like the slide to answer call. When I put this setting back to HD (default) I was able to make calls from the manilia people tab and all contacts list.
So I guess I'll just have to choose either to not use the manilia people tab to make calls so I can answer the phone using the phone soft key, or use the people tab and have to deal with the slide to answer call. Unless there's another way to disable the slide to answer call

ahhhh... yeah, it's typically something we install and forgot or we assume it didn't have any impact on our issue. fyi, you don't have to use slide-to-answer to answer a call. i never use it, lol, i always use the send key (key to the left of the home key) to answer calls or the end key to ignore the call. glad you got it sorted out.

yea amazing. As you can see it drove me crazy. I found the solution by accident. The only thing I hate now is when I get a call the caller ID from slide to unlock comes up ( which is the one I prefer ) and the windows/manila one keeps flashing on top of it.
Otherwise Dutty's rom seems pretty solid

Camera zoom
I noticed that I do not have the zoom function with this rom, which I knew already, but if I was to install the old camera cab to get the zoom function back would I lose the ability to take pics at 5megs ?
Also I have tweak HD installed and it unlocked some good features like burst and sport, would I lose those functions ?
