When using the XDA Mini S, be it with the old version ROM and the newly released one in April 2006, when dialing a number I cannot enter a pause command (the small p which most phones like Nokia can produce when you hold down the * button for a few seconds).
The international plus symbol works by holding down the zero button for 1 second, thereby omitting the "0" number.
This is really annoying because I program my landline phones and other mobiles with the pause button to make use of special dialing numbers before I dial international numbers. In any case, all phones except the XDA/HTC have this ability.
Can anyone assist or know a way of getting a pause command to work?
Thanks.

Hi,
in the old (and current I believe as well) Nokia phone - and most other pure mobile phones for that matter - you can dial a "p", typically by holding down the "*" for a while. The "p" makes the phone wait a little while before continuing to dial the rest of the number.
I need this feature!!!
I am using some prepaid phone cards for which this feature is really necessary.
So, anyone have a clue how to get a similar functionality on WM5? The "p" certainly does not work ...
Thanks in advance - Andy
if you're dialing live, you can dial only the connection number then open the keypad to dial the rest of the keycode manually. If you want to automate it, create a contact with the full number and you can enter in "p" there.
I have a contact for my voicemail which dials the voicemail and waits and the pin + #. this works great with voicecommand cause all I have to do is say "call voicemail" and it'll dial, enter in the password automatically and I don't have to touch the phone at all...
Interesting ... I did migrate all my number from my previous phone, where i had the "p" included in the number. The numbers also seemingly came up correctly on the PPC phone. However, when I tried to dial the number, it would not take the complete number with the "p" - I cannot remember exactly what it did, but it did not dial the whole thing. Thats why I thought/ hoped that there is another way. I guess, after what you are saying, I should give it another try ...
And yes, the application that you are describing is very similar to what I want to use. There is a prepaid international call provider, which has a local dial-in number and lets me call abroad for very little money. I call the local number - the service provider recognizes my account by the incoming phone number of my mobile - and then I dial the destination number. For the recognising part however, it is needed that the phone waits a little before it continues to dial the destination number.
Alright, alright .... works! Thx for the assurance! Tried it again and it just takes a lot longer - the pause is longer - than it used to be on my Nokia. Also, I do not hear the dialing tones after the "p" anymore, which probably put me off before.
Thanks! Thread closed
Try replacing the "p" with a "," . It will pause for a few seconds once the other side picks up the phone.
So Ive been using my HTC Ozone (6.5 Standard, 3VO rom) for a while in israel, and the way the cellular network works is as follows:
country code is +972
the number that shows up on an incoming call is 052-555-5555.
The number that shows up on an incoming text is +972-52-555-5555.
The number that shows up on an outgoing call when dialing without the country code (aka 052-555-5555) is +972-052-555-5555.
All of these differences mean that if I have a number saved in the contact manager (in only one of the above forms), it isnt displayed 2/3rds of the time. If i send a text to ME(052-555-5555), the reply comes back from an unsaved number, in a new thread is +972-52-555-5555.
Is there a way for me to just save the base number (052-555-5555), and have the phone's contact manager realize that its the same number is the +92 equivalent? My current workround is saving all the forms of a number to a contact, but 1. its tedium to go through all my contacts and do this, and 2. you can only save so many numbers to a contact, which means im screwed if the contact has two different numbers.
I see all these fields in the "current country" setting, but I have no idea what they mean, or if that is even the solution.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
hey , i got the same problem on my Omnia 2 with windows mobile version 6.5
The local incoming call won't show the country code, and sms does the opposite way.
check through all my phone setting, can not find any related option for this.
Thanks for anyone can provide a resolution.
i just resolved my problem. hope this way can help you as well.
get a regedit software on your windows mobile phone.
go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/ControlPanel/Phone
under it, you should able to see a key name "CallIdMatch", change the value to maybe 8 or 9, which means it will match the last 8 or 9 numbers for each incoming call or sms. (use decimal) after the changing, reboot your phone.
Wow, it worked!!
Thanks a lot man!
thanks for the tip jason_ma!
i was also wondering about it.
Anyone know how to edit CalIidMatch an an HTC hero
Hello,
I have this question from long time and hoping to get some help here.
I use calling card for international calls ( cheap ) but in this process I need to switch back and forth between active call and contacts to enter phone numbers on the dial pad during active calls. Now the problem is, when I switch back from contacts to active call and back to contacts again, it does not show me the contact details I was previously viewing instead it shows me the contact list. It is very irritating as its very difficult to remember the 10 digits numbers and dial it in one go. Please give some good idea to switch back and forth between call and contact while keeping the contact details open. My previous Symbian devices were excellent in this area. but I am sure android must have similar functionality...
Thank you
You can simply add the calling card number before your international number with a comma (,) in between. For example you can create your contact as below:
1800xxxyyyy,44xxxyyyzzzz
And just call that number thats it

sounds cool...but it asks me to select couple of options before actually arriving at the option where I enter the actual international number. Or can I try entering all the options seperated by commas and it will work like 1800xxxx,2,1,4,numberxxx
thanks for your reply though...
When i got my Nexus 5 i restored all my sms from my old phone (about 20 threads).
when i opened hangout, about half of the threads were matched with the contacts, the other half wasnt
problem seems to be the following: almost all my contact numbers are of the form "079 123 45 67"
The (unknown) numbers that hangout displays is "+41 79 123 45 67" (no 0).
Somehow the app cant match those two. With the stock sms app i used to have on my HOX+ (CM 10.2) i didnt have that kind of problem
has anyone encountered a similiar issue and found a solution?
I dont want to save the same number in two different formats for every contact

There's no need to store two numbers for each contact. You can store all your numbers with the international area code ( = full, complete number) , or at least just the more relevant numbers to you.
I started to save "+39" in front of each number as a habit many years ago, since in pre-smartphone era you HAD to do so, otherwise your phone could not match the incoming caller with numbers in your phonebook.
