Set speed dial number 1 - General Topics

Hello !
Do you know how to configure the speed dial number 1 in WM6 ?
Setting the other numbers is not a problem. But for number 1, there is a problem: the setup does not allow you to change it.

Good question .

I have noticed where the speed dials settings are stored !
They are stored in the database 'pim.vol', in the table 'speeds'. I have noticed that with SKTools, but SKTools only allows you to view the database, you can not change it. Does anyone know how to modify this table ?

Speed dial #1 is designed to be used for voice mail. If you want to change it, goto Start/settings/personal tab/phone/services tab/voice mail and text messages and click get settings. Change the number for voice mail and click OK. It will most likely say it couldn't save the settings and to try again later. Ignore that, the speed dial #1 is now set. Open your dialer and press and hold 1, it will dial your #1 speed dial number now. Or you goto phone/speed dial and select #1. it works either way although the name will be displayed as Voicemail in the speed dial screen

10x but this is not for Windows Smartphone version.
I don't see this tabs in Settings.

You are right, it should work that way. I followed your instruction, I also had the warning popup when setting up the voicemail phone number:
"Cannot save your changes to the network. Try changing settings later, or disconnect data connection and try again."
I have no other choice than, clicking on Cancel, but I can see that the voicemail number is saved. But there is still no number 1 in the speed dial
I have WM6 Professional (a touch screen)

How to change the voicemail number

Hey,
can anyone help me.
I have an unlocked XDA II and I would like to change the default voicemail number from 901 to 121, can somebody tell me where you change this settings.
Cheers
Gigi
Go to start/settings/phone then click services, click voice mail and sms, then click get settings, you can change it from there.
on XDA I : start -> settings -> phone -> services -> voice mail and sms
Hey
thanks for the reply but the one I would like to change is when your are in the active screen.
go to messaagging/voicemail
That is the one I want to change it is set to 901.
I would like to change it to the Vodafone one which is 121
Cheers
Gigi
I am also having trouble enterng the voicemail number.
Whenever I enter the voicemailnumber in the boxes you get after 'Get settings', a tap om 'ok' just gives me the message the information could not be updated to the network.
I reckon that is just the case, BUT these info (SMS messagecentre and voicemail number) should NOT be updated 'to the network'. These number just reside on the SIM.
Because no voicemailnumber is set-up, the default speed-dial (1-key) for voicemail, which cant be deleted, does not work either . . .
Does anyone have a clue how to enter a voicemailnumber ??
Found a solution, see my other thread:

That only allows to edit the voicemail number. The problem with this is that whenever I move around into and out from UMTS area (i.e. the signal goes from UMTS to GSM and vice versa) the Voicemail phone number reverts back to '+'. To change it back to my telco actual no, I have to redit the registry key as above.
I've searched the forum looking for the patch as mentioned by Vijay but I could not find the thread/post. Anyone has the pointer how to delete the Voicemail button from the SpeedDial today plugin?
For good measure, change
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Palm\Varnish\SpeedDialPlugin\VoiceM ail\Deletable
to 1 as well.
Then immediately go to the Speedial options, Change the Voicemail and select a contact with a Photo, change to a Picture speed dial.
Unless you don't use Picture speeddials.... then this won't help.

This is really simple. Just uncheck Speed Dial in the Today/Items setup. You still get speed dial function even if the speed dial buttons are not visible.
Voicemail & Speeddial #1
Voicemail & Speeddial #1
OK Goodnews/Badnews
I can now edit my speeddial #1.
Through mistake of the former at&t they had to upgrade my account and match the former at&t rate plan and unlimited mediamax at 19.95 on the new at&t side.
I have been running a Treo 750v with WM6 AT&T rom.
So after adding the 3G AT&T SIM card now I am able to edit the #1 voicemail slot. It seems that the New AT&T sim card is playing nice with the AT&T rom.

Somebody knows how to delete VOICEMAIL button on WM6 ?
this used to work with the WM5 but I've tried it with the WM6, it's working. It's not letting me edit it.
So as of now with WM6, there is no way to remove the voicemail button from the speed dial plug in?
Okay one thing I found that seems to work reasonably:
Use regedit:
\HKLM\Software\Palm\Varnish\SpeedDialPlugin\Voicemail\Editable = 1
\HKLM\Software\Palm\Varnish\SpeedDialPlugin\Voicemail\EditableNumberOnly = 1
Then you should be able to edit the number of the voicemail.
Set EditableNumberOnly to 0, and you can edit the name, additional digits, quickkey etc. So between the two settings you can change Voicemail to whatever you want.
Just can't delete it or assign a contact to it.
hmmm...thanks
will try this one out...

How to Restore Voicemail Speed Dial

I was working with Faria's new wm6 rom and the restore speed dial and contacts utility it has.
Some how I ended up with NO speed dials at all.
I can reenter all except position No. 1.
How to I restore the original speed dial number and position ??
I tried the operator config but no dice
In phonepad ...press menu->then options-> then press "services"
tab-> then select "voiceMail and text messaging"-> then click
"get settings"->change your voicemail and txt message service center
number. After adding voicemail # then your #1 key should let you dial
your voicemail by press/hold #1 key.
Thanks but I tried that already.
I even did it again to be sure.
But did not work.
#1 does not dial and there is no #1 i speed dial.
#2 is the first avaliable number.
Any progress on this one ? I have same problem
And even I HAVE #1 as Voicemain but there is NO phone number associated So when I press/hold "1" NOTHING happens.
Similar issue on WM5
I rebuilt my contacts database and during the clear-down process the #1 speed-dial has disappeared.
Its not listed in the speed-dials and is not offered as an option when adding a new speed-dial
I tried sending a new number to the network, which the network recorded, but it didn't create a speed-dial in #1 at all
Any ideas ?
I deleted pim.vol to clear out contacts, calendar, etc. database prior to re-syncing with Outlook and now I have the same problem.
Has anyone resolve the issue in restoring the Voicemail Speed dial #1 without doing a hard reset?

Go into the phone application -
choose menu/options...
select services tab at the bottom
select Voice Mail and Text Messages and press the Get Settings button
make sure the Voice Mail: box has the correct number for your network's voice mail access.

Ad-Hoc Dialing through Voip...

Hello,
Just wondering if there was an easier way to do a 1-off internet call using the stock dialer and its Internet Calling features.
My options so far are to:
- Before trying to dial a number through my VOIP provider, work through the settings and turn on the Ask For Every Call option under Internet Dialing, dial the number, then turn it off after my call. Its important yo turn this off after as the internet/regular call dialogue comes up for calls through Bluetooth (!).
- Dial the number as usual, then pull up the keyboard with 'long press menu' and append @myvoipprovidersserver.com. Although this works, its a bit of a pain as the keyboard's auto-complete prevents the text from showing up in the dialer in real-time. Typos are really difficult to fix in this mode.
- For every number I want to dial through the internet, make a contact ahead of time with the email address formatted number as described above.
Is there some non obvious option closer to the actual dialer that lets me turn on/off internet dialing more quickly?
Please let me know,
- chris
