wanting access speed dial and history with up/down keys? - General Topics

just wondering if anyone knew of a program that would allow me to quickly access the speed dial and history with the DPAD...
similar to EZdial, but without the ezdialing bit as I am using the HTC keypad, that plus ezdial seems to make thumbs plus and phonepad input not work...
though I do like the option for photo dial option...

Shortcut from scrollwheel to last called numbers?

Is there a way to make a shortcut from the scrollwheel,so you just have to press the wheel to get in to the last called numbers list?
Would be much more easy to make call with one hand..
Sorry for my bad english
If you press the green phone button, you will pull up and be able to redial the last number you called.
OMG are you kidding me push the GREEN TALK BUTTON and the last call is right there then push the GREEN TALK BUTTON AGAIN and thats it.. So a total of 2 yes a whole 2 button pushes.....
Is it just the last number or do you get a list with numbers ?
Sorry...I dont have a TyTn II myself..Just tested a friends.
Edit
I want to go direct to the list with all my last called numbers,not just the last.
You now what i mean ?
Im not so good at english :-/
on my 8525 there was a box on my dialpad that listed all recent calls, right from the dialer you could scrool down to select any previous number in the order they were called. i believe this is what the poster is talking about. i can not remember what it was called but i would like it on the tilt as well, it basically replaced the standard smart dialer with one that listed call history. anyone have this?
Green Phone button - Up on the 4 way pad
That will get you to the recent call list - 2 buttons pressed
Ok..Thanks
nice tip, thanks!
(And by the way, it's the left or down key to get to Speed Dial.) However, one problem is neither of those works if the keypad isn't showing and you just have the Call History and other buttons up there (with Keypad being the left soft key option). Anyone know if there's a reg hack to make the keyboard stay up there permanently? Thanks.
Also, with the keyboard displayed, you can use the scroll wheel up to get last called, or scroll wheel down to get speed dial numbers.

How do I modify HTC dialing options?

I wasn't sure how to ask this so bare with me.
I have an ATT tilt with the HTC ROM on it. When I go to phone mode and am looking at my keyboard, I have the smartdialing box, the keypad and then three boxes upper-left side = LEFT ARROW (delete), VIDEO CALLING icon, and CALL LIST icon.
VIDEO calling doesn't work and I don't understand what those icons in the CALL LIST (are they received calls? Dialed calls?) are all about. I was wondering if I could switch what those three buttons do? I can't find any ability to change those in OPTIONS..
I suspect that further modification will require cabs or ROM updates?
I have imprecise fingers so the keypad is excellent- I don't want to change that at all.
Thanks guys
yeah.. me too flashed my 1 day old tilt with the htc stock rom... and the dialpad sucks..... no "CALL" button on screen....
Now have to use the keypad and fingers to dial a number and pressing the green call button to actually call... it was quite annoying at the beginning... but now I am gettin used to it.
Still if any registry editing could be done in order to remap the 3 buttons on the right hand side of the dial pad screen, it would be great....
Except for this option, the HTc stock ROM is gr8888888888 !!!!!!
anyone?
There has to be a way to play with the HTC dialpad?
Screen shots?
I like the default dialer.

ok I know this is a painfully dumb question but I've searched and can't find any solution. How do I edit my Kaiser's registry?
Thanks

DIAL PADS!!!!!!!!! Why oh Why?

How come some of the DialPads out there the Iphone (phonePad) and Nargz (iphone) dial pads keep locking up our HTC touchs'?
Also how come developers don't use almost the entire screen as buttons for the dial pad. Even the DialPad that came with the touch has this issue. There's a lot more space that can be utilized to make bigger keys.
Take for example the Vista Style dial pad. Really great DialPad, by the way.
But I don't need to have the Windows icon (in the top right corner), I don't need the Last Call showing, I don't need to see Rogers in the top left corner. That's all real estate that can be used to make bigger keys. Or fit a bigger TALK key.
And please, please to anybody reading this and deciding to modify or developing an existing dial pad or make a new one. Please, I beg you. When there's an incoming call, make the Name / Phone number and the Answer / End keys really, really BIG. That's one of my biggest gripes with the default dialer and the Vista dialer.

Eye candy

What do you guys use for eye candy?
PointUI + S2U2 = Yay
Original release of PointUI has no issues with battery or performance. New release of S2U2 solves a lot of previous problems with landscape orientation. I use S2U2 because it can lock the keys without reverting back to the home screen and hiding PointUI.
Slide using the d-pad, it unlocks and PointUI slides in for a nice smooth feel. It can also unlock the keys and run an application when you slide out the keyboard.
Once I find out how to fix the Caller ID issue with the Green/Answer call key not working, it will be superb.
How do you change the settings for S2U2? I can't seem to change anything...
You'll have to do it through the registry;
HKCU\Software\A_C\S2U2\
Let me know if you're able to answer calls using Caller ID with S2U2 and being able to answer a call, my green button won't work with S2U2.
I already deleted it.
It doesn't have anything extra over my screensaver from smarttools.
the PointUI is kinda nice, if only it could acces the startmenu from Home and if it had the same functionality for dialing contacts. Start typing the name of your contact and Home looks it up in your list. I use that a lot, i don't search for contacts...

Opera shows onscreen keyboard in landscape mode

Hey everyone,
If I have Opera open on my HTC Touch Pro with the hardware keyboard slid out, it still shows the onscreen keyboard (and it's annoying having to keep closing it all the time). Any idea how to fix this?
I too would like to know the solution for this. I have a feeling that this is kind of a feature from Opera and can't be disabled but it's very annoying for users with hardware keyboard.
I have this issue on my kaiser too

Actually, it's not Opera. It's Raphael itself. HTC should have made it in such a way that if the keyboard is out, the SIP should not be displayed.
To prove that it is not Opera, try creating a new SMS. Do this in portrait mode first. Try hiding the SIP and change field (To or Message). You'll see that the SIP is displayed every time you change field. Now slide out the keyboard. Try changing field and you'll see that the SIP is also displayed.
As far as I understand (from another post somwhere on the forum) it's not technically a bug...
It's a requirement of Windows mobile that the SIP is deployed whenever text is entered into a field. Seems rather daft when you have a hardware keyboard on your phone though...
I've had that registry tweak above work for me, the same tweak is implemented in Advanced Config 3.3 as well. There's another fix that *should* work throughout Windows Mobile, for text fields.
It's called nullkb, and installs an option into the SIP menu that gives you a null keyboard option, and any attempt to bring up the SIP brings up nothing. I installed it, and it appeared to work, but after a reset, it defaulted back to the normal keybaord, so you have to select the null keyboard everytime you reset the device.
I'd love to find a way to simply disable auto deployment of the SIP in ALL circumstances. NullKB forces you to go into the SIP menu and select another keyboard should you want to use symbols, for example. The registry fix only seems to (sometimes) work for opera.
I just want the SIP to stay hidden until I want it, and a single click on the keyboard icon should bring the selected keyboard up.
I have no idea how to go around getting this working, I'm more of an end user than a developer...
e: there's also this reg key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip\AllowChange=1
Change that to 0 and it disables the SIP entirely. I'm thinking this fix and judicious use of PQzII (once I figure out how the hell to set it up...) to set up hardware keys for lots of symbols (where the hell is "\" on the keyboard? On a WM phone I would've thought a \ key would be mandatory...) might be the way forward, though it's a fair amount of work to get everything set up.

That doesn't work, at least not on my CDMA Touch Pro.

Doesn't work on my CDMA Touch Pro That regedit makes the keyboard appear on screen all the time, with no way to minimize it.
it is a bug in opera...
it is well documented as one
you can see if you disable autodeploy of keybaord (use advanced config) and youll see it still appears in opera. the only work around is to download nullkb and select it as your input while using opera
I had the problem with nullkb that it wouldn't stay as the default SIP after a soft reset. Loading PQzII and setting a link to PQzII in the startup folder fixed this, as within PQzII you can select which SIP should be displayed in portrait *and* landscape individually.
This still means a couple of clicks to get a keyboard up in landscape for entering symbols, but if in portrait the SIP will display normally.
I still can't get the "\" to work properly through PQzII though... it displays odd characters whenever I enter it into any of the PQzII configuration options. I suspect \ is used extensively in the code or something, and this messes up what's going on inside PQzII.
