Why are my speed dial contacts trying use ussd codes when pushed?
What do you think is corrupted?
Tia
Your speed dial entries?
Yes, by holding down the number you assign, its supposed to dial, and out used to work fine. Today it tries to send the number as a ussd code?
Ooops, I just noticed that its not speed dial after all , its the actual phone number as it is dialing my office vmail and had a # at the end of it.
This used to work....mmmmm
Figured out out, out must have stripped out comma for the pause somewhere along my many flashes and ti restores...

I've always found that you can just dial numbers while you're in a call, you just use the... dialpad. :/
I had one contact which dials one of those 0870 numbers for cheaper international calls, someone pointed out to me that to get the phone to pause inbetween dialing a number, you could setup a Contact with commas to achieve a pause (I think each comma pauses the dialing for about a second)... So I have 0870234821,,001598238 (for example, the numbers aren't real numbers, but you get the idea).
I've always found that I can just dial on the keypad if I'm in a call though, you just dial and it dials the DTMF. Am I missing a trick here? I've not installed any other dialing software, I'm just using the supplied software, just with the default skin.
i know wot u mean.... but i'm contstantly having to dial numbers whilst in call, so it would be useful to have a tool that will allow you to do this rather than dummying number and having a pause for different dtmf's

i've tried this software but whilst incall, it doesnt trigger off... am i doing something wrong.
I see what you mean...
... Here's a thought; how about recording some combos of DTMF tones to predefined wave files, and triggering them on the phone whilst you're in a call? There's a chance the phone might pick them up as they're being played, and relay them down the line... Just a thought for this morning, one I've not tried in practice yet, but it might work.
it is good to use.
i use short tone and delay time change to 50ms.
nice !
thanks a lot
Can't get dialDTMF to work. The tones are played when I go to contacts -> dialDTMF, but only when NOT in a call. If I'm in a call and try to use dialDTMF nothing happens after I pick either work/home/mobile number.
Or am I using this tool the wrong way?
I use att and my speed dial 1 used to dial my voicemail, now it does not and I cannot seem to program it under the speedial menu, I can only program numbers greater than 2. Anyone have any ideas?
in dial pad, press 1 and hold it until it dials out.
I think he's saying that doesn't work now... how can he fix it.
go into settings - phone - voice mail and text messaging - get settings, then make sure you have the voicemail number set as this is associated with speed dial 1...

exactly, i was just going to answer that, but you beat me to it.
whatever number you enter in that setting will be set to number 1 speed dial. you may need to check with your carrier to get the correct number.
its already set in there, thats the funny thing, the voicedial number is in there but when I hold down 1 nothing happens!
I searched XDA but didn't find a hint (yet).
Calling my intl. provider requires an 11 digit PIN.
Is there a way to submit the PIN after calling an 800 number without manual entry?
I had YEARS AGO a Nokia where you could simply use OLD Hayes AT commands ("," for a 1/2 second dialing pause) but it wont work with the std. or wizard dialer. I was thinking about something like 1-800-123-4567 ,,,,,, 999 888 777 11
Template dialing
Save the number in the contacts and embed letter p where you want it to pause.
For one of my contacts the number looks like this
1(800) 725-8382p31337p1p0114455555555
This will leave the phone to dial 1-800-725-8382 calling card access number.
pause.
enter the pin 31337.
pause.
enter 1 to specify that I want to place a call.
pause.
dial the number 0114455555555.
One more thing, I tried to seperate the phone number with dashes like 011-44-55-55-5555 and that didn't work. It stopped dialing as soon as it read the dash. So I guess you can't have dashes except in the begining.
yeah its correct
p (pauses/pulses) can be used
in nokia and sony ericsson p can be used by pressing * threee times repeatidly in ppc using
press * twice only
best wishes

You guys ROCK - T H A N K S it works!!!
Had a check through the search but didn't find anythging relating to my minor problem.
I have set up 2 contacts and asigned them to speed dials to activate and another to deactivate call forwarding and this works fine through the phone applet. However, when I try and asign the same codes to a third party app, like the favourite contacts tab in HTC home, the speed dial will not work and returns an error mentioning signal or incorrect number.
The codes I use are
**21* number # to activate
##21# to deactivate
Could it be that these GSM codes are not recognised through the third party apps?
Its not a huge problem but I am curious as to why it doesn't work - I also tried with voice dial but the same error comes back.
Anyone with a similar problem of fix for this?
I am on o2 with stock WM6.1 Rom.
I've been asking around and nobody seems to know how to dial a number such as 332211. Using a Captivate. When I use the straight dial number it always puts a "-" in the middle 332-211 so the call won't go through. That number is what they call a short code. It's for text messages. I noticed even tv stations have them so you can get text messages about incidents etc.
Thanks

Did you try creating a new contact? Did you try putting *#*# before the number and #*#* after the number?
Thank you for the reply so fast gtg465x. I have tryed the contact create, didn't work. I tryed your *# but when I get to the last #* the phone goes blank. If I hit send the phone goes to the contact list.
like you said its a text message code... like 466453 for texting google...
You need to use your messaging app. not your dialer.
Phone numbers in the US are 7 digits (+area code) not 6.
Use the dialer to make phone calls and the Messaging app for sms texts.
There are also short codes for accessing various settings in the phone that you can enter into the dialer, but those are almost always surrounded by *# like *#06# which will display your IMEI
Hi pietro_spina - Ok that makes sense. However, I don't have a texting service on my phone. I'm trying to use GoogleVoice for texting. After a short search it appears Google isn't set up to let us use 6 digit codes. I tryed it and it doesn't go through. I will keep searching.
Thanks for the answer

If you use the google voice widget (select the text icon... It looks like paper) I have sucess using googles own six digit code. It cant be an empty message though.
The voice widget is part of the google voice app in the market.
P
When you go to google voice then submenu top left is a peice of paper with a pencil on it. Below it says "compose". Is that the one you are talking about? If so I've tryed it and it doesn't work. I did see in one of the reads something about the phone needs to be sms enabled. I wonder if the Captivate can't do it?
It works for me. I dont know what else to say.
I only know one short code. Google search... 466453 put that in the "to" field and as your message type "help" and google will text back some instructions.
Maybe post the short code you are trying to use? Is it some sort of pay code? Google voice might block that sort of thing.
Good Morning pietro_spina - I tryed your 466453 and it worked. It did list as 466-453 in the return message. The one I've been trying is BestBuy 332211 with text of GAMER and it won't go through. Google says error in sent message.
Sorry dude. I guess if they don't have any info about that sort of thing in the google help pages, then you are out of luck I guess.
