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

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.
I'm struggling to find out how to find a call history for a particular number in my phone.
If you select "Call History" you get a long list of everyone that has rung you or you've rung, but I can't find a way to select a specific number!
Also, is there any way to change the "camera" softkey to something else of my choosing?
The only way I know of to browse for a particular number is to go to the people tab and select that person then the last tab on the right will give all calls for that person.
OR
When you go to call history you can click the card next to the name on the right and you will get all history for that numer.
Hope this helps.

If you've turned off TF3D, then clicking on any item in the Call History brings up a full list of all the calls to/from that number.
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
Is there a way to hide [or stop from being recorded] the text message history when looking at the call log?
It seems pretty retarded to see a long list of incoming and outgoing SMS activity in a call log. I would like mine to show calls only. If I want to look at messages I would have opened Messaging no?
You can press the menu button then press "view by" then select one of the options.
You can only select one at a time which I take you're not looking for?
I would imagine someone would have to mod it or use another app to replace it?

Fully aware of the useless filter options.
I want some tick boxes to tell it what to show not a radio button for predetermined options that are not the one I want. Like on the selection of what shows in my contact list....
Do the guys who write touch wiz use a phone?
I guess this doesnt seem to bother anyone else?
Is this a standard android "feature" or a unique error in touchwiz?

Don't use the logs tab, use the history tab in contacts, use the menu button to select what you want displayed, untick what you don't want. Sadly it doesn't seem to affect the logs tab but it's the best you can do for now.
Good day,
I'm using Huawei P10 and I noticed that there's no way to delete recent contacts that you texted on messaging app. Whenever you write a message the recent contacted list is showing up. How can we delete it or permanently disable it?
Thanks.
I hope someone has the answer for this.

I don't think there's a way to turn it off permanently, unfortunately, but if you would like to remove entries from it, you will need to go into your dialer, and clear the entries in the favourites tab.
Favourites get added automatically, and can't be turned off either, which is annoying, but it would be great if we could though.

Yes, I think Huawei will add an option to delete this on their new update. It's really annoying.
I just found out a way to remove it. just click "new message" and then click the image of the contact you want to erase from your text history. The contact info would show up, Press the "more" function the one with three dots. then press "erase traces". hope someone find this helpful
thanks, is there a way to remove all the contacts without selecting each.

Yes, simply go in to contacts, tap the 3 dots at the bottom and tap Organize contacts then tap delete contacts by batch. ?
Erasing the trace of Call History.
Sorry I mean, how to delete all recent call history showing in the Compose Message.
Currently i am erasing the trace of a call. but by doing that only that contact history is deleted. i want to delete all contact history.
No need to click the new message. just go to your "Contacts" folder. Choose a contact. Click his/her name then click the "More" button, the one with three dots. you'll find there the option "Erase trace". Click it. then, a message will pop up to ask you to "Cancel" or "Erase". Click "Erase" button (red font). then you're DONE!
Yes i got the trick or this
Just go to mobile settings
Search in search bar ( Display Recent Contacts
Then
Click on your search option you got.
Just off.
Display Recent Contacts
I hope you guys you will enjoy all
