Has anyone discovered a way to get WM6 Pro to recognize phone numbers in calendar entries, and make them clickable links? It seems that the smartphone version has the functionality, but the Pro/PocketPC version does not. Pretty lame, if you ask me.
Anyone think it's possible to create a cab/utility that enables it?
You can enter tel:123-456-7898 in the notes area and it will create a link similar to smartphone.
Still looking for something like this for the location line in the calendar.

I tried this and it doesn't seem to want to call. Any tips? It sounds so simple it is hard to see how I could have mucked it up...
I have had to enter a space or a hard return after the telephone number to get the link to work.
I desperately need this too!
Is there a utility/hack out there that will do this? As the original poster said, this is available on Smartphones! I can't believe MSFT didn't implement this!
While I'm at it, how about a feature that can detect Access or Pass codes for teleconferences? In other words, if the number appears as 1-866-000-0000 PC:12345 it should automatically dial 1866000000,,12345#
This is basic stuff that this OS should have... What a downer.
If you type in 'tel:' directly before number you should see the link, eg. tel:123765887
Hi,
I have a Treo 750v (Vodafone version) which like what it's box said it is meant for email solution, that's why the left soft menu of the Today screen menu is set to Email.
Anyone know how to change this?
Thanks, appriciate your share of knowledge!
I forgot the details but this i know as much
You have to download the register editor program. Search around the registry is all the same when it comes to changing soft key for all WM phones.
The only problem with the Treo 750 is when you change the softkey from email to something else it ends up adding an extra short cut. So in essence you are not overwriting that key, all you are doing is adding an extra feature on top of the existing email button.
Maybe someone had better success than I did can chime in
Using a registry editor, navigate to Hkey_Current_User/Software/Microsoft/Today/Keys/112
Change all 3 values to reflect your new function

wow, thank you very much mtiberio!
your link really hit the spot!
Very odd - my Registry setting for 112 was already showing Calendar as the default value but on screen it shows email.

It's all because Palm plugins - they overlay it. If you disable Active Call (or Dial Lookup?) you can have native-windows softkeys. It was all described in instructions how to ged back default dialpad.
i just downloaded the soft key changer that i found on here i think it was in the hermes section and copied it to my windows folder... after i did that it shows up in my settings and i can change both soft keys to what i want
was it:
"FdcSoft SoftkeyAppletEx.cab"

Hi, thannks for the direct links. I'm going to try installing it. i hope it'll be fine.
seems it doesn't work with wm6. after installing it, the program isnt available in my program.
Hey everybody,
i found the following reg-entry and change the value from 1 to 0.
HKCU\Software\HTC\Manila\Facebook.Disable
Now i have in the Contact-Form of TouchFlow at the bottom a Facebook Register. And a new Facebook-Option is available if you want to get a user-picture (You can get it from Facebook).
Does anyone know more about this reg-key? Because nothing happens if you choose these new features.
Hi!
Already discussed in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=510352&highlight=facebook You could examine the contents of the posted cab files if you would like to find out what it does, more than just changing the reg key you are referring to.

Hi Friends, We have just published our first android application (To replace default dialer and call log) in market and looking forward to add several more features in coming few days. I would like to invite beta testers and other enthusiasts to test the application on various android phones. Any feedback and suggestions from the experts and users here will be greatly appreciated.
Easy Dial is an advanced dialer and call logging application for Android based phones. The application tries to overcome the usability problems in the default applications provided by Android for this purpose. It offers all of the standard features in default dialer & call log with much more in a user friendly and efficient way.
Dialer Features
1) T9 Search from the standard number pad.
2) Fast search without any lagging between the dialing actions.
3) Check notes associated with contacts on the same screen
4) Ability to dial multiple numbers associated with contacts from the same screen (Use horizontal swipe or scroll track ball to switch through numbers)
5) SMS or Email a contact directly from the dialer screen
6) View contact cards or call history directly from the dialer screen.
7) Customizable options for fonts, search criteria, button actions and so on
Call Log Features
1) Advanced call log with grouping. No more multiple instances of the same record in call log.
2) No maximum limit for number of entries in call log.
3) View complete history of a log entry with summary of different call types.
4) Integrated Search feature in call log. No need to scroll through the long list of call records to find a desired entry.
5) Delete single or all instances of a record from the call log.
6) Ability to delete all entries prior to a certain record.
Coming Soon
1) Integrate Favorites
2) From the dialer screen, ability to search last dialed numbers along with contact search. Similar to HTC Smart Dialer.
3) Higher degree of customization.
4) Improved skin with more appealing UI
5) When in call log, ability to mark certain records as protected so that delete action does not remove those records.
6) Long press on 1 to dial the voicemail.
7) Add full fledged tab for contacts which will overcome the default contacts issues. Like missing numbers beneath the names.
Download
Android Market Place
Description
Easy Dial will let you dial a contact or individual number with the ease of T9 search on your regular number based keypad. Application can get integrated with the default call button and pressing the button then after will directly open the Easy Dial window. To dial a number, just start typing the first few letters of the contact name and it will search for the matching records in the contacts database. If no record is found, it will let you dial the individual number from the same window. The notes associated with individual contacts are also displayed on the same screen.
Application also allows the users to create text messages or emails directly from the dialer screen. Thus eliminating the extra steps to open the respective application, choose the contact and so on.
It maintains its own call log which overcomes various usability issues in the default call log application. A significant improvement is call grouping. The default call log creates a new entry for each and every call, be it from the same number. Like if you dialed 123 for 100 times, it will appear in call log for 100 times. Easy Dial fixes this problem by offering a call grouping mechanism. Here, each number will appear only once in call log and then clicking on the entry will open the history of the calls for the selected numbers. Apart from this, it also offers a summary of total calls with duration (in, out and missed) on the same screen. An advanced search mechanism is also provided apart from standard filters for incoming, outgoing and missed calls.
Would like to help but I can't find the app in market place? Is it available to Canada? Would you like to also post a link to your apk file so people can install it manually as well?
search "easydial"
can't find it in Market...
edit: got it http://de.androlib.com/android.application.and-dev-isol-qwjp.aspx
Could you add contact pics? i like this app!
great app thank you very much, from what i see just now , its much better than the OEM dialer. One remark and its not a huge thing , can you see if you could improve the delay while pressing the numbers , they are a bit laggy, but it may be just me. Thanks again

Thanks, we are working on the speed and many more features. Will keep this thread updated. If you find any other problems, please do let me know. BTW, which device are you using? and if its a custom firmware?
Love the call log, dislike the dialer. Any chance you could make the dialer larger and make the contact scroll a pull down tab like the launcher?
Hi, could you make it search by numbers as well? Also, a search by initials would be awesome (like HTC's). An example would be:
John Doe
And I'm able to search by entering "5" and then "3" (J, D). Thanks!

We are working on the new theme to improve the user experience as well as the looks of the application. Our fellow forum member "MOONSSPOON" is working on this and has come up with some excellent ideas. I think that will somehow solve the issues with it.
If you could please give some more feedback regarding the dislike, we will make sure to fix those things.
For the pull down tab, that is some thing we have stored for phase 3 or 4, but that will be there for sure. As for now, working on other important features.
Thanks.

Yep, HTC Smart dialer functionality is in under development and we are close to finish that. However, for now it won't be for initials. This is to search the unknown numbers in call logs. Like when you press 5 and 3, it will search for all contacts with the combinations of "JKL" and "DEF" as well as all numbers in call log with 53 in it.
So stay tuned

Im using an HTC Dream with CyanogenMOD 4.0.2 no APPS2SD yet. Like I said its a great dialer and logger.
This is going to be a great application guys. Stay tuned!
Screenshots?
My issue with the dialer: Numbers are a bit on the small side, would prefer them to be about 2/3 of the screen... scrolling window for contacts is too. Basically, it just seems like there is too much interface crammed into one screen. I think the pull tab for contacts will be a big help. I'd also like it if when I dial a number the numbers are displayed immediately (instead of "sorting" through contacts first) so If I accidentally hit a wrong digit I know immediately instead of having to wait for the numbers to display after a no-match on contacts sort.
I look forward to the next version with new artwork, the guys who are helping out do great work and I'm sure things will change for the better. All in all I'm liking the app, GREAT JOB!
This is very well put together, I cant wait to see what you guys do for the update. No lag at all with it. Good Job Guys!

I agree on the too much info crammed in one screen but like MOONSSPOON mentioned in one of his messages "Its a fun battle finding the perfect balance between fitting the most information possible on the screen and making sure its not a pain to use" So let us see what we can come up with in next version with improved UI.
The idea to show a number immediately sounds good and we will work on it. As for the pull tab in list, that is definitely in the plans but on low priority for now. As for now, I feel there are other features we need so working towards it step by step will be best way out.
Thanks again for your suggestions and we will try our best to keep it up to your highest expectations.
Hi,
For starters, please excuse me for the title - I really don't know how to formulate this and it might be the reason why Google couldn't help me this time.
Everyone in our team uses a Galaxy Note II - and one of them has the following problem :
When we get a text message indicating someone left us a voicemail message, we get a number of 5 to 6 digits (5555xx, where xx is the following number of that message in your mailbox). He's the only one who doesn't get that number as a touchable link that would immediately open the dialer and allow you to call that number.
I checked if it worked when you send him a text message with an actual complete phone number - and that works well. If anyone of us gets a text message with in it a succession of numbers - the numbers are always shown as link, regardless of it being a phone number or not. But not him.
I couldn't find a specific option for that in the settings. I don't think anyone of us did anything special to get that behavior.
Is this clear enough ? Can someone help with this ?
Thanks in advance.
Greetings,
Mike
