I've heard about this, but I can't find the article to see how somebody else resolved this same issue(don't think it was here...or at least I can't find it). I need to dial two asterisks immediately after eachother. When I try this I get an asterisk and a P. I can't access my work voicemail without entering two asterisks.
I have two basic scenarios. I either dial in when nobody is there and I get automated attendant, enter my mailbox number, it rings 4 times, then on pickup I have to dial ** then my box number and password. Off hours I could probably create a number with a lot of pauses to accomplish this, but if I call in during the day, I get the receptionist, and I need to manually enter the **. Waiting a couple of seconds before pressing each will give me two asterisks, but I need to enter it within 1 second and WM6 won't let me do it.
I have a 8525 using tmo. Please help anybody!!! I don't mind a work around, I just need it to work.
Love the 8525. Pressing ** through dialer will give you a P, but slide out the keyboard and use the * there and it works fine.
same problem... but no resolution
I have the diamond (no slide out keyboard)... is there another fix? anyone?

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.
I'm not sure this is the right forum, but I can't find anywhere more appropriate...
I have a WinMo 6.1 phone (AT&T Fuze-branded Touch Pro), and I recently discovered Androkkid (http://www.simosoftprojects.com/androkkid.php), and I'm impressed, but I need to figure out how to make a couple of features work before I can be really impressed with it.
At present, I have an icon labelled "Voicemail", which I can set as type "contact" (which means that when I click on it, it dials my voicemail), or as type "voicemail" (which means that it tells me how many voicemails I have waiting for me, but clickin it just takes me to the dialler. I'd really like it if it can display the number of voicemails and automatically dial my voicemail when I click on it. Is there a parameter I can pass into the dialler that will tell it to automatically dial a specific number?
I also have an icon which displays the number of missed calls, and takes me to the dialler; I would like this to instead take me to the call history log.
I'm sure these are trivial problems, but I've been unable to find anything helpful on the Googles. Thanks for your time.
Hi,
I often call conference call lines where you have to enter an access number to get in. To add a wait to a number I simply ad a ";" (semicolon) where I want the wait to be. A number could look like this: 1-866-345-2350;23456678#. A window pops up at th wait and asks me if I want to send the following numbers, the ones after the ":". Normally when I hit "Ok" the numbers are sent. Not so on this Android 2.1 powered phone (Huawei Ascend). Nothing happens when I hit "Ok" so I am not getting into the conference. I am able to enter the numbers manually, but since I do this a lot it's really cumbersome having to do it.
I'm not sure whether this is an Android 2.1 or Huawei hardware problem, but I sure would like to find out! Does anyone here have any idea what the problem might be?
Having searched this and various other forums I'll see if anyone here can help on this item. I've been using WM devices and XDA for many years and have now had to switch to a Droid 2 Global on Verizon due to work rather than choice. For over ten years I have entered my outlook contacts in the format +XX (YYY) ZZZ-ZZZZ where obviously, XX=country code.
When I dial by contact on the droid it fails and tells me the number is disconnected etc.
If I manually enter the number using this format with the "+" sign into the dialer then it switched the "+" to "011" and dials successfully.
If I create the contact on my phone and enter the "+" sign in the phone number it seems to automatically create a second number entry as "011" as well so it then dials successfully.
The odd part is several colleagues seem to be able to use their existing outlook contacts in the same format successfully.
I have tried switching on and off the assisted dialing and it doe snot seem to make any difference, calls still fail to go through.
I am using a D2G with a stock (but rooted) ROM
System 2.4.330.A956.Verizon.en.US
Android 2.2
Baseband N_01.48.05R
Apologies if I have missed something obvious, I know my way around WM but this is all new. Thanks in advance for any help.
I had a couple of issues with telephone number formats, installing the "More Locale 2" app (available on the market) seemed to fix them.
Mine was more a presentation issue though, I'm not sure if it will solve your dialer problem but it's worth a try.
Hey all,
Sorry if posted in wrong section. Wasn't sure where's best. Please move or del if necessary.
I recently bought a FreedConn Bluetooth system for my helmet and it has a button on it that when held makes your paired phone dial the last number in your dial list.
This is pretty useless to me and I'd love to instead have it launch Voice Search so can easily send texts and make calls.
I googled a bit and found no way to adjust this on the device itself and looked at Tasker but don't believe it can do what I need.
I'm looking for a way to await the signal from the Freedconn and adjust what action it triggers. Or await an attempt to dial the last number dialed and launch a diff action.
Any advice on this is appreciated. Thank you.
I found a mini workaround having my own number as the last dialed and creating conditions (if calling myself w/ specific BT connected, hang up and run voice search) it works but hoping for a cleaner way. Any ideas?
