Is there any program which allows you to edit a number to be dailed such as adding a prefix in WM5? Also, is there any program allows you to edit those number in "call history"?
the dailing program in O2 XdaIIs are very useful and quite complete. is there any third party who can provide similar program?
Your heading is slightly misleading. You're looking for a dialer *editing* program.
And the short answer to your questions is no, not at the moment.
I'd assume a utility to edit the dial history isn't too difficult, but I can't understand why you'd want that. You dialed a number, so that's what it displays. Now you want to change that? Why? It's history. It's done. Why change the record?
As to the "program which allows you to edit a number to be dailed such as adding a prefix", nope. I assume you mean enabling scrolling left and right within the typed number to change something.
That's much more difficult, as it would entail writing a program that would sit on top of the Dialer (replacing Intellidial, for a start), enabling the dialer editing
Have you tried the WM5 version of Photo Contacts Pro?

Dear Vijay,
Can we file two mobile nos for a single contact? assume that all other fields viz home1.2, Work1.2 etc are already occupied
hdubli - if all available number fields are full, then not easily. If you need that many telephone numbers, you could write a custom plugin or app that would store a string of telephone numbers in a text string with a seperator, eg:
+44 7870 XXX | +359 12345 | +69 546
etc. Then, save that text string in a relatively unused number or text field (eg Home Fax?) in Pocket Outlook, and have your custom plugin present an interface to choose which number from the string to dial/select, eg dial second number in the list. Your app would then parse out the second number from the list.
That would work and be relatively operating system consistent. But, it would have to be a custom written app.

Thanks for the reply,
Is it possible that I store the Phone nos with the sepertors as informed above and dial from contacts? You know any app else can u make such app...I am not good in coding as u are..
hdubli - I've never seen an app that can do it, and a custom plugin would have to be written to dial from contacts in this way.
I could possibly write it, but it would take time I don't have right now - do you really have that many phone numbers to store per contact?
If you've hit the limit (9 phone numbers per contact I think), try saving the contact twice, eg
Vijay (1) with 9 contact numbers
Vijay (2) with another 9 contact numbers = 18
It's not perfect, but it's easier for me :wink:

That's right...Just tell me can we add a custom field in the Outlook so that when we sync it adds that field in our device...
So this important 'FileAs' omission has been a problem for about 2.5 years, yet MS still haven't had the time to fix it? I am impressed
Yup, fileas is a pain in the ass, as with many of the problems with Windows Mobile and Smartphone: however, I guess we basically have to live with the problems. I lose count of how many bugs have never been fixed.
Oh, hdubli sorry for the slow response. As far as I know, we can't add custom Pocket Outlook fields.

It's so a shame that more 4 years have passed and there's no solution for this yet that I had to ressurrect this old, old thread.
Now in WM 6.1 there's still no default setting for 'File as' contacts. Plus I also have to complain about how WM phones display area codes.
It annoys me a lot because all these default settings seem to be made for U.S., but in most other places we choose to remember the first name and not the family name of our friends, and also 3-digit area codes don't apply.
This will fix them all at once... found it floating around
finally
works great!! (may need restart)
install
programs >> contact fix
set it as you like
done
BIG thanks (searched for a way to resolve this problem, weeks)

The |last name, first name| filing was probably used for business purposes. You would have many contacts that are not necessarily your friends and you would look them up by last name.
Would be nice to change it...
I downloaded and installed the '6 tab' version of the HTC Homescreen onto my At&t Tilt and it looks slick, especially using an HTC black background theme.
The only problem I'm experiencing is when I select the 'fav people' tab (second tab from the left) which brings up 9 (with pic icons) people called by simply tapping their pic, I'm not able to assign 'WHICH specific telephone number (home, business, mobile) is called.
It appears from my brief trial/error testing, that if more more than one telephone number is included in a person's contact, only the person's mobile number gets assigned. How can I re-assign it to a person's other tel number (home, business) instead?
Thanks in advance for all help offered.

off the top of my head just in case your also using something like voice command would be to add a new contact with a false name (so that you don't have to worry about voice command using that one by mistake)but with the pic and phone number you want to use.Not a great solution but a very easy to use work around.
Sneakyp86,
Since you suggested a workaround, can I assume that you too aren't able to get the 9 favorite people 'Touch Pic calling feature' to call anything other than the number in the contact's 'mobile phone' field?
I'm now wondering if this problem might be only limited to the (6-tabbed) version of HTC home plugin I installed: here
Anybody here with contacts that have multiple telephone numbers able to successfully assign their HTC Home screen's : 'touch pic-calling' to call another number other than only the contact's 'mobile phone number'? If so, please provide a download-able link to the HTC Home screen plugin version your successfully using.
Thanks
Jazz
You could try manually editing the number in registry. Found in HKLM/Software/HTC/Contacts/ They're numbered from 0-8, just look for the right one, change it, see what happens.
Re-installing a newer version of HTC Home (version 2.0814.722 by Shen) fixed the multiple telephone number problem allowing you to choose from: a contact's multiple telephone numbers. HTC Home works perfect and looks terrific now.

Is there a way to get WM6 to ask you if you want to save a number to contacts when you dial or receive a call from a number that isn't already in there?
I've had a bit of a search, but can't find any relevant info!
in the call history list, you can click to get the option to save the number into a contact (existing or new). but it's not a automatic prompt like you're requesting.
Thanks. I knew I could do that, it's just my old Sony Ericsson used to do this and I found it quite a useful feature. Does anyone know if there are any programmes that will do this?
Hello!
Anyone found any program that make this function?
Is it possible to dial using alphabets instead of only numbers in the phone application? I think this would be very useful for SIP calls given that Outlook contacts don't seem to support any fields for SIP numbers/address. (On the same note, has anyone managed to find any applications that extends outlook contacts to include sip addresses?)
Tried the following and don't seem to work:
Holding the numbers - bring me to speed dialing
Whipping out the keyboard and trying the keys - searched contacts instead.
Anyone?
I do this all the time. from the dialer use the thnumber pad as letter
I.E Alexander= 253926337
it works for me too, you only press the number once per letter of the persons name you are trying to spell, so even if you want the letter C you still press the number 2 once !

Good man, exactly how HTC handsets have been working for many years now.
Isn't it amazing what you can find when you read the manual!!
No that is not what I meant. I meant instead of dialing "numbers", I want to dial alphabets.
I want to be able to dial "sip:[email protected]" instead of "112233445566" or whatever permutations that give me the words.
Ah....I see.
That would be a No then afaik. Not unless anyone has implemented this in a custom dial skin or shell replacement like SPB mobile shell etc.
Is there any way to switch the default method of sorting your top 15 contacts from alphabetically to an order in which you choose? The two people I call the most start with a high letter and it's really annoying have to scroll to find them. I much prefer the way contacts show up as multiple icons in the Manila 2D (or whatever it was called) version that I had on my Tilt
Thre things you might try:
1. You can put them on one of the speed dial buttons.
2. Or you can put an 'A" or "1" in front of their last names to make them sort to the top.
3. Or you can use photo contacts to dial by their picture.

If you do the above and sync to your desktop, your contact will not sort properly there where you probably do expect to see them in alpha order.
Just my .02

Speed Dial? I've missed that some where. How do you add people to speed dial?
just tried it - speed dials do not change the order
anyone solve this?
Why not put them in the "People" section?
I have about 10 contacts in there which I use regulary with specific numbers (i.e. text, work number etc) but you can open the contact to find other numbers.
Hope this helps?

I believe this is what he is referring to. He wants to be able to sort the 'People' tab in TF3D to his own liking. I was also wondering if this was possible earlier today when I had to flip through 8 contacts to get to the person I call most. Haha.
