Smart Dial on TC

Am I the only one who has problem with the smart dialing on TC? When I "dial" a contacts name, the detail of the numbers do not appear on the panel like kaiser and all the other wm6 phones, so I sometimes have to start my calls by looking up the number in the contacts app
Any solution to this, if I am alone with this bug?

I thought nobody had that problem Well, I installed the cab Touch_3G_Diapad attached. Your milage may differ

Found A Better Way
Forget about the cab file if you are comfortable with registry editting and set this value to 1
HKML>Software>HTC>SmartDialing>bSelExpand and set Decimal value from 0 to 1
This expands the details of the numbers of the contact as you scroll through so you can see and dial straight away. Better than just expanding the selected contact and dialing from Contacts as the cab file does

caller ID (name and number)

Hello,
I'm with Fido and I've subscribed to their package that includes caller ID (phone and name). The name part of the called ID doesn't work on my tilt, it would just show me the number. I tried dutty's ROM and L26_KaiserDiamond_V9, they both show the same thing. Is there a way to fix that issue?
thank you

just add the name/number into your address book. it will show the name.

yeah, however, names that are not available on my address book wouldn't show... Most of my incoming calls are from people that are not available in my address book...

That's how Caller ID works for Cell phones, Number only. You get the name only if it matches a contact in your phone.

when I put my SIM card into a "fido" phone, it actually puts the name and number of the caller even if it is not in the address book

maybe that is the "name display" feature instead?

yes that's what's called

try to use +1(000)000-0000 format in your address book. As for showing the name, i believe it only happens if you get a call from the same area code as yourself, otherwise you just get hte name of the state the call is coming from or the person's name from your address book.

Just to clarify for you guys.
Name Display is a service offered by Rogers/Fido in Canada.
This service shows the name of the person calling and their phone number, even if they are not in your phone book.
Now....to fix the problem....you can try the Rogers test rom for the Tytn II. That should give you name display, but it's an old build. Or, you can search the forums and see what you find.

can any MODer(s) extract the info needed for name display to work from Rogers or Fido ROM.

There's actually a registry entry. Rogers phones that have it also read name info sent out by the carrier on Fido.
Search:
Rogers "name display" registry
Post back if it worked for Kaiser/Fido.

that registry edit only works for S621, it doesn't work for Kaiser.
So far nobody can figure out how to extract that feature (not a simple registry edit). In kaiser rogers test rom, there's no such registry regarding name display. Yet it shows the name when the phone rings. Our suspicion is that it's encoded in some of the core files.

SMS/Text Message Contact Recognition?

Hi!
I bought the MDA Vario 4/HTC Touch Pro just today.
Wonderfull machine, but i experience just 1 problem.
When I receive SMS/Text messages, it does not recognize from who the message is coming. When i click on the number who send it, it says that the number is not in my contact list.
I tried several ways, to store the contact in different ways, the country code +31/0031 or just internal without the country code.
Whatever i tried, it just does not help :S
Can anyone help me?

You are absolutly sure that you have the contacts in your contact list? Because it won´t recognize contacts from the SIM card. You will have to copy them from SIM to phone at least in my case.
The numbers in my contact list are all beginning with +316******** and works just fine.

Yep, same here
+316*****, but it does not recognize the names. When i click them, it says This contact is not in your list, would you like to add?
Tried hard reset,soft reset,delete all my contacts,tried set different options in the options menu.
I found 1 way to recognize it, but that is not the standard way:
When i fill in a Name in the "E-Mail" field in the properties of a contact, then it recognizes the sender.. Not any other way

That is really strange. But i don´t have a clue of what the problem could be then.

Also tried now:
When i Receive an MMS, then it shows the senders name :S
The only problem is at SMS :S

Are your contacts located on your simcard? If so, try to copy them to your phonememory, i remember i had a similar issue with my hermes and that solved the problem.

Add your contact to your Outlook Desktop application and sync your device.

Well, that's the way i do it and it works flawlessly, plus you never loose contacts again.

How about this. When the message of Add this contact pops up, just click yes, and replace that number with the one you already have for your contact, granted that it's the same, it'll detect it.

What field do you have the telephone numbers in?
When a text is recieved, it looks in the Mobile and txt fields within contacts. If the number is stored in Home, or Work, then it won't find them.
At least, that's how mine seems to work.

Its stored in the Mobile section..
i went to T-Mobile, but even the Demo device there doesnt seem to recognise numbers in te SMS section. Maybe an bug on the first Software of T-Mobile?

wouldn't surprise me tbh.
it could also be down to the cli used by the network.
Using schaps, you can play around with the number of characters used for CLI. Dunno how much difference it makes, as i never had to use it for that....t-mobile in the UK seems to work ok. But then, I never use the branded ROMs, cos the networks are notorious for making dodgy stock ROMs even worse....!

I have Found The Sollution
It is an registry bug from the t-mobile software..
It has been found on only the T-Mobile branded Raphael's.
How to fix it:
Install an Registry Editor
Go to:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER>ControlPanel>Phone
Here is an D-Word registry called: CallIDMatch, the value on my phone was standing on "12". When you edit the value and set it to 8. All of the problems dissappear.
Don't matter if you have the contact stored as: 00316... / +316.../06...
It recognizes every type of storage of contact.
I Thank everybody here for thinking with me for a sollution!

Alphabet Dialling

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.

change default number

Hi
how can I change default number for a contact?
for example tochflo only use mobile number to send sms and I want to use work number as default
tnx

no solution?

I do remember that when adding contacts to the 15 under People tab, you were able to select which number to display as the primary number. Maybe remove the contact, then re-add them?

this is just for people you add in the people tab
what about the others?

If you select a contact that is not in your contacts tab, it gives you all numbers to choose from. There is no default number.

I get it now. Start -> all programs -> contacts.
In there, it lists a number to go with the contact.
You wish to change this number yes?

I want to change the number that touchflo sms manager or whatever it is uses to send sms.

Not sure I fully understand the problem, BUT:
If you go to the Message tab, and start a new message, as you type in the Contact's name you can choose whichever number you have stored for them as the number to use. I just sent myself a test text, to my landline, using this method - it was pretty easy, and didn't require me to change any details about myself.
Hope this helps.
