Hi.
I have just moved from a Huawei P9 Lite to the Nokia Pureview 9 and when I am dialing a number on the keypad, the Pureview has a very annoying behavior.
The phone has a list of recent calls and also the contacts list.
If I have dialed a number some hours ago, it is no longer at the top of the recent calls list. So I start to type the number on the keypad. However the pureview only searches through the contacts list for similar numbers, and not both the contact list and the recent calls list. That really sucks, since I then have to enter the entire number manually, instead of just the first 2 or 3, and then pick it from the list of suggestions.
Is there any way to make the Pureview 9 include the recent calls list in the search for similar numbers, when starting to enter a number on the keypad?
I have not installed any dialers. I am just using the one that was on the phone when I got it.
On the P9 Lite it was a breeze to just enter the first 2-3 numbers, and then pick the number on the list that came up with numbers containing those numbers.
In my opinion this is a big step backwards.
And no, I don't want to add everyone to my contacts, since many of the people, are ones that I will not be calling again after a job is done.
Thanks in advance.

I cannot dial the local numbers that I have in the contact list. All my contacts phone numbers have been made on the PC with outlook and then sycronized them on the Kaiser. All the numbers have been made selecting the country code in outlook and appear in the format +country code then (areacode) then number. Unfortunately I can only dial the international ones and not the local. When I dial the local numbers a AM says that the number has not been assigned. The same number dialed via Skype works just fine.
If I remove the +sign and leave the 1 (I am in Canada) the number dials no problem. Same thing if I dial just the area code and number.
The problem is driving me nuts. I cannot make 2 set of contacts one for Skype and one for the regular calls. I also travel a lot and I need to dial the numbers from different countries without have to change anything.
I looked on the net for suggestions but did not find any answer.
Any help is much appreciated
Cheers

Any one having my problem:
My Diamond is not recongnizing phone numbers from my contact or basically the caller ID is not working for some reason. Help - this is really annoying......
Thanks in advance
I didn't receive my diamond yet but from previous experience with some phones it s a matter of recognizing the number of digits in a phone which is country dependent.... like the iphone for exemple ... i had a terrible experience with that ... I had to put for each contact two numbers , one with the country code (+212 .....) and a second without... that way he could recognize the incoming caller ID in both calls and sms....
you should try doing that and tell us if it works!!!
By default it matches on the last 8 digits of the phone number. If phone numbers are less than 8 digits in your country then it may not work properly.
You can use advanced config to edit the number of digits.
It would help to find related issues on this forum, in stead of opening new topics. Every day a full new page (or more) of new topics appear, lots of which are duplicates.

Supplying people with more information would also help to solve the problem easier. Which ROM, what exactly happens and when... etc.
Hi,
I have several contacts that have numbers containing P (the pause), mainly for dialing through voip services providing cheap international calls such as dialnow.com or nonoh.net who provide a landline number that you can call from your mobile
The problem is that the phone does not match the full number with the contact, it only matches the first part up to the P. What I mean is, I have multiple numbers starting with the same landline, then P, then their number, like so:
0123453335P078127493041# - Foo Bar
0123453335P078924134212# - Joe Doe
0123453335P...
You get the picture. What happens is that the phone always identifies any of those numbers, regardless of which I call, only as "Foo Bar" (or which ever is first in the contacts list). It's quite annoying as it gets registered as Foo Bar everywhere: e.g. in the call history, while the call is in progress etc and only the first part of the number is displayed. Another problem is that if I use this kind of contact as a favorite in the People page in TouchFLO 3D, and I try to call it straight from the People page, then only the landline number is dialed, the part with P and the rest of the number is not sent at all ...
I would like it to be able to do a full match on the number, not just the first part up to P, so that it appears correctly in the call history, during call and to be able to call such a number from the People page in TouchFLO 3D.
Any fix for this?
Cheers
bump?
anyone has any idea of what I could try at least?
would a different dialer work? anything?
so many replies ...
I have found a workaround myself ... if you replace the P with a , (comma) then you will get a full match; maybe someone else wants that behaviour.
I have the same problem but no luck with comma...
What have you done? one number with p and the other with comma? that should work but if we have more than 2 ...
By the number of answers you got... i'm sure it will be complicated to solve this one
I solved this problem by sticking a space before the p
P works for me. I use it with a prefix number for 0800 numbers so that the call is part of my free mins.
Just spotted that you use a capital P. I use a small p. Might make a difference.
Thanks everyone.. it looks like that this depends on the dialler program used.
For me that solutions were not working but then I've updated my ROM (with new dialer) and it started to work.
Thanks a lot.
Hi, I have one more question that would help me decide on the HD7. I have about 1300 contacts in Outlook and multiple #'s for each contact. With some of the contacts, I have added a name behind one or more of the numbers in Outlook (say like on the Mobile # I have 222-222-2222 Tom). Well, currently in Android when I say call the mobile number of the main contact (and wanting to dial Tom), Android substitutes the numerical value for Tom (866) after the phone number, which in turns makes it an incorrect number. When I had Windows Mobile 6.5 Voice command dialing on my other WM phones, it would ignore the names behind the number and correctly dial it. Does anyone know if WM7 does the same thing? I hate to have to go back into Outlook and delete all those names behind the numbers, and if the HD7 handles it like WM6.5 did, it would help me decide to go with it. Thanks.
Seems to work for me -- I just added some letters to the end of an outlook contact, and called it, and it worked fine.
I should add that voice dialing has been flawless for me -- "Call david smith home two" calls the number under "Home 2" for David smith, and if there's only one David, you don't even need the smith!
Thanks
That's good news. Thanks for doing that.
And more, Windows Mobile never have that issue
Sorry for my bad English.
I purchased a week the sony z3 compact and noticed / discovered these two flaws that on cheaper phones have provided.
1) blocking calls from any contacts or anonymous numbers or numbers not in our section. Now on the phone you can only enable or disable all calls. Which, frankly, use a few.
2) In the call log, it would be very useful, instead of having the key on the right with the arrow symbol, with which, if crushed shows various options, replace it with the contact's photo (which is in the list of contacts), maybe even moving it to the left. And then, again, crushing him alight see the different options that already happens if I press the current arrow.
And then, still in the call log, it would be interesting to divide the calls with the days: example:
Saturday, December 20
call 1
call 2
call 3
etc
etc
Friday December 19
call 1
call 2
etc
etc
or, instead of this solution, group for phone number the various records, without having a long list with numbers / contacts repeated
I hope I explained in the best way possible and above all that we can have such solutions in a possible next update, I'd be very happy.
