Hi,
When i was on Fr19 i thought it was a bug, that when i make a new sms, and whatn to enter phone number that is not in the book, i have to use that stupid qwerty keyboard :S Now that i moved to new GB Rom, i still have this issue, either stock app or other marjet app as Go SmS pro.
I know i can choose in layout but i want it to be by default as Dialpad when entering a phone number
Anyone have a tip or hack to do this ?
thanks
You can use the default LG keyboard, or touchpal or any 12-key phonepad.
thanks for reply but did you understood my question ?
When i go into New SMS and want to type a number i get a normal qwerty keyboard, it is annoying to type numbers on it. What i want is a normal Phone numeric dialpad, which is more logic to automatically have when typing a phone number.
I am using the default LG keyboard.
I can do it by changing the Layout input of keyboard, but that problem is than it stay like this and for text i have to again change the layout to get qwerty keyboard,
You can understand it is quite annoying :S
Is this a normal behiviour ? or it ie me who is having an issue ?

It's quite normal. The reason is simple: The input field can be used *either* for inputting a phone number *or* for quickly searching your contacts. Searching your contacts requires letters, therefore the default keyboard is alpha-numeric. Unless you use another messaging app which allows you to input phone-numbers *only*, it will remain this way.
I can understand that we need to search so the keyboard is Standard Qwerty that show up when yoy first click
But what is not logic is when i press 123 it should understand that i dont want to search by name but type the number so it should show the Dialpad, that is how it works in iphone
So in Andriod it is normal and standard to have always qwerty keyboard :s I am surprised no one else has complained, may you guys only send SMS to your contact list lolzzz

Well, if Apple has that functionality, you can bet they've patented it as well, barring anyone else from using it.
Myself I cannot come up with any reason for SMSing anyone not in my contact list, but I'm sure you can.
Anyway, for now, that's the way it is on Android. (But I'm sure you can find another messaging app which will do what you want, until the patent-trolls notice.)
Hey mate,
Don't remember if on stock it's this way, but i'm on miui and I can enter Phone app(Dialer), dial a number with the number pad and then select "Send Message" so the sms app directly puts that phone on the message receiver...
Hope that works to u!!!
That can do a trick. I never used the dialer to send sms but thanks for the tip
No it is not dependent of what sms app you use all give same result as it is core feature of android.
Only way i found is to use another keyboard swiftkey which 123 is in Matrix format so more like a dialer but smaller
But i really hope someone can make a mod hack to show dialpad it will be handy and more logic

Or perhaps the ?123 key doesn't send us into a blind panic?
Lol
I buy a lot from site like kijiji. So i send a lot of sms to numbers which are not in contact list
Anyway having Dialpad when pressing 123 is more logic. Either in phone feild we want to type a name or a number

Numbers in messages are normally underlined and when you quick tap them (not tap and hold )they are passed to the phone verification screen which asks if it is correct to dial (ie country and area code OK) and you just hit the green call button. This function is default on all WM devices.
Have you added some software that has changed this?

Thanks, I'm not aware of anything. I'm using a t-mobile mda vario iii.
Does this feature appear in calendar notes etc or just email?
thanks

just tested it, works fine in email but not in calendar? damn thats total pants! What ever could the developers be thinking.
/sigh , I'm really trying to like this device and get used to it (i have 7 days) but so far there are little things like this which I use daily which will make my use of it so annoying.

I'd love to be able to tap on a number in my calendar notes to dial..
All my appointments and contact details are stored in the calendar yet I have to write the number down, exit calendar and go to the dialer.
I don't recall ever being able to do it with any version of WM.
Hello here,
I have lost Autocomplete of Contacts when writing a name in the To: Field of an Sms message.
I have Fun Contact installed, which gives the contacts an iPhone type look, since then it's been playing up. I have since uninstalled this, but it still doesn't provide suggestions of names in my contacts list, when I begin to type a name in the To field.
It's very annoying and one of my favourite features of using Sms on Windows Mobile.
Any Suggestions would be really appreciated.
Regards.

Does other predictive input work fine with your default keyboard? One more thing, when you try entering a contact name, the predictive function searches only for the contacts with numbers entered in the "mobile number" field. Check if your contact has the number there.
Regards,
Carty..
I lost that feature when I installed touch keyboard + keypad from dutty's collection
but after uninstalling them its fine now
Hey Carty,
Thanks, that's something I hadn't checked. My other predictive imput isn't working either. I have an idea why it might be. I downloaded KaiserTweak and, changed quiet a few things with it.
I set the Autocomplete to suggest me 6 words and this option is not available from the Drop down menu in the settings menu Of WordComplete.
It is not working anymore even though I have set them both to 3 words and after entering 3 letters. I have since Soft reset the device? Help would be really appreciated.
Thanks
Found the Answer
As I was saying I had made some changes with the KaiserTeaks app.
One of the changes I had made was to Enable XT9 under the Text Message options.
I realised this just now as I was going through the options and have set it to disable XT9, which is the default and this has fixed the problem
Hope this helps someone out there.
thanks y0u5uf,
will try it out seems like your suggestion is the easiest way out since i installed app like kaiser tweak, touch keyboard+keypad
is there any way that i can erase the words that i have wrote in my predictive text, are they stored somewhere where i can just go into and delete them, i want to start all over??
nvm i got it lol sorry
SMS Input
I have a similar issue. When I enter a character in the "to" field I dont get a list of choices to pick from. BUT, if I hit backspace and erased a character the names and/or numbers pop up.
Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can fix this?
Have a peculiar problem whenever i search for a contact.
i use the phone keyboard with t9.
On a few occasions i get numbers regardless of what letter im typing in, and this is genius because the number 1 gets hit on a-b-c and the number 1 in any number and the letter in any name...
But i cant find å way to figure out how the settings should be for this to be enabled?
This seems to work in the phone log but not for every contact, but as said earlier ive managed to get this function for the entire contact list when fumbling around a bit..
Anyone?

it depends on where the focus(cursor) is, if it on the list then you'll have digits and search in Contacts, if your cursor in TextBox over the list, then you'll have just T9
So this means there is no way to get this function to f.ex in new/reply sms/mms/email ?

why not ? when you click to the address line you'll see the same windows as in Contacts
ohh, got it now, would still be nice if this var standard and you could just type inn the numbers directly without entering the contact list manually like that if you see what i mean
thanks for clearing things up
For the sms thing, it works for me.. but with the name.
I use Full Keyboard (t9 off).
in the TO: field, I enter V and it shows me the first name starting with V.. as I go on.. it matches the name and usually by the third letter, I have the name I was looking for.
I have set suggest words after 1 letter. Doubt it has anything to do with it, though.
Hi, I've searched around on here and can't seem to find an answer to this one!
When I send a text message I have to actually click on the "To:" box and scroll through my contacts!
When I had my hermes I just typed the name of the contact into the box and the matching names were listed below the "To:" box. Like the smart dialing does.
Is there a way to enable this on the diamond? It's really annoying to have to go into cantacts all the time!
Which ROM are you using? This feature DOES exist in every Diamond ROM as far as I know. You start keying in the first 1-2 letters of the first or last name and you get a popup which you can scroll through.
Oh no! It must just be me then!
Err. I'll try a hard reset and see if that resolves it?
Maybe it's just got screwed up somehow. I thought it seemed like a strange thing to leave out!
Will be back if that hard reset doesn't sort it out.
1.37.405.1 Orange ROM btw
Try a soft reset first mate.
This isn't usually Hard Reset material because it is a core feature of the Diamond
Are you using the default ms keyboard by any chance? If so, then run a 'disable t9.cab' or something similar name (sorry, I forgot) from Dutty, it will enable the showing up of the contacts when typing first characters
And if that fails you could select your contact first and click send sms.
Do someone know how to put two mobile numbers in one contact.
It is very important, because it is very complicated to send SMS on the mobile number if it is stored under another type of number.
Some of my friend have two numbers and also if someone is writing me an SMS from a number that is not stored under mobile and I want answer, you can't just tap for replay, because the Diamond will use the default mobile number of the contact, not the from from which the SMS was send... it is really incredible. I realised it after some friends didn't recieved my SMS... also because you cannot check to which number you send it... there is just a name!!!
Do someone have a solution?!?!?
It is really annoying for me!!
Thnx!!

You should be able to solve it via editing the contact either on the PC with which you sync or directly on your device, going to contacts and editing the contact. Just enter the second number in another field, like home, work, main, primary, etc. The label does not really matter.

As the OP states the label absolutely does matter. For example, a telephone number in the 'Work' field will never be offered when typing a name into the To: field of an SMS message.

Correct, for SMS only Mobile will be offered as alternative but as for Caller ID it does not matter.
Not sure if it would help you or even work for your problem, but in Outlook there is a phone type of "car" that you could use. Like I said, not sure if that would help with the SMS issue, but it might.
MJNewton understood my problem...
My problem is to send an SMS to a number which is not under the label mobile.
Also the car label doesn't work. It offers you only the mobile number for sending SMS.
It is really very stupid not to add also a mobile2 label and to offer both numbers!
Would someone invent something for this?!? Do only we in Slovenia have sometimes two mobile numbers?!?!
Thnx!!

Same here, I have friends studying abroad, with one mobile phone in each country... Solved it using the "work" section, but it's not that good for the SMS... Perhaps if we find the template somewhere it could be changed ?
I would think the logical solution (workaround) would be to have two different contacts in your contact list.
I have this issue aswell.
What yoiu could try is use an app like Icontact or pocketcm.
I beleive you can pick the number were you want to sms to.
have not try'd it my self
i dont have this problem?
if i goto new text, then add contact the contacts list appears, then when i click the contact i have to choose which number i want (mobile, work, mobile2, home ect)
which method are you using to add contacts to the SMS?

The problem is if you go to your contacts, select one and then pick write sms.
you wont get an option.
or when you reply to an sms (al though i do think then when i reply it does sent it to the number you are replying to.
but it is annoying that you cant see which number it was)
When you use the SMS application and you press "To:" it will show your contacts list and when chosing a name you'll be presented with all the numbers you have for that contact wether mobile, home or work so I don't really see the problem.

...possible.....
I don't have too many friends walking around with two mobiles consistently on their person so I don't really considerthis an issue
but if I did (like for differnet countries) and I wanted this to work I would make an exact copy of the original Contact amd slightly change the name to represent the second mobile i.e.
Fred1 Smith xxxxxx
Fred2 Smith yyyyyy
....suppose that would work....
Two mobiles in one contact.
You can't do that on the phone although outlook could do it!
Do as I did in the past.
You have two numbers for John Smith?
contact1: JohnSmith1
contact2: JohnSmith2
TWO MOBILES!!
How far out can you fall with the same name?
I actually had each number on different name because I wanted to know straight way who phoned me.
So I had like DaveMob, DaveHm, DaveFax, etc.
