WM6 smartphone tweaks and mods

Hi,
I've relatively recently got HTC kaiser. lovely phone but one problem. WM6 is awful!
simple actions take way too many clicks to perform.
i'll list some of the annoyances:
- I'd like the dialer to have bigger number buttons.
- i'd like the contact view page to have contact detail and 2-3 BIG buttons - Call, Text, Email.
- I'd like incoming SMS notification (the little pop up with sms text) to have 2 hard buttons - reply and dismiss (instead of current - reply and menu)
- I'd like to have a hard button on call history
these are just of the top of my head, there are few more but cant remember right now.
Is it possible to tweak the system to fix any of the above problems?

For your contacts issue, try PocketCM. For everything else, use the search feature on the top of this page. I cant tell if someone has done some research on it, but there is a big chance that there is some stuff for you to find.

[Q]Only show Speed Dial numbers?

Hello,
When I press the phone button, the list always shows the Calls and Contacts. Is it possible to let it default to Speed Dial? When needed, I want to list the Calls through the option Call History and the Contacts through, well, the Contacts button...

bump back to 1st page

anybody? .... pretty please

hello again ...

[Q] Sense 3.0 is short of features 2.0

I have noticed that in Sense 3.0 there is no longer available a feature that was in place in version 2.0. I mean the automated SMS when getting a call. It means when getting a call and touching the options button there was possibility (in Sense 2.0) to send a SMS with pre-set text. Now the options button doesn't work at all. You can only receive or deny a call or mute the ringing by pressing the side volume buttons. That's all. I am quite disappointed to lose this option because the automated SMS was very handy thing which I used quite often when I could not receive calls (during meetings, negotiations etc.).
Can you please check that the feature is indeed dead in 3.0? Or do you have any tricks?
Thx.
Just a side note, having branded O2 Desire S with 2.3.5 and Sense 3.0, no root no S-off. I am just an ordinary user.

I am an ordinary user as well, same version, same 3.0, but from other country.
What I see :
If your phone is active when a call comes -- you still has a chance to decline the call with preset message.
If not -- you can not decline the call.
I think it is a mistake of HTC

Thx Vpp20 for info.
That's right you can send the automated SMS when the phone is up but you can't do that if the phone is in standby/sleeping mode what in Sense 2.0 was possible. It looks really like a bug.

hi to all also has that "bug" but iv noticed that when I receive sms with number in it,after clickin on that number only optio is to call it,on the sense 2.1 you had option to open contact etc,etc.

In fact - no
It depends on where you tap
If you tap on phone number - you get a dialing screen
If you tap on contact name, you get a full menu:
- send
- call
- open contact
- forward
- get message info
- delete
- copy to SIM card
- block the message

How to auto dial default phone number

In dialer when I want to call to somebody I click on that contact and then phone is displaying all phone numbers (work, private etc) assigned for that person, and I need to click again on selected phone number and finally green phone icon to start a dial - it's ridiculous.
If contact have only one phone number assigned, then even if I click on that contact phone do not auto dial, it only display this number and I need to again click number and then green icon to start a dial.
Is any way to set galaxy s7 phone to auto dial default phone numbers without clicking two times to do this? I used previuosly AOSP roms and I had only to click on contact and phone automatically dial to that person - so simple.

If you are on a TouchWiz ROM you just swipe to the right to call whatever the default number is, swipe to the left to send a text message.

thanks good to know
I just switched to google dialer - much much better now.

Call History - is there an app to show call date and time for each call

I'm looking for a way to show each call's date and time. Is there an app for that?
EDIT - Verizon stock

I'm interested in this question : I record my call with Skvalex's Call Recorder, so I can get those informations from here, but I'd rather get them directly from the call app.

I might install Skvalex's Call Recorder just for the history date and time. I don't care if it actually records the conversation which I read is a problem with non-rooted phones.
I downloaded it from their website instead of the store

It's hard to believe that phone lacks such a basic feature. All the Samsung's I've used have it.

At least on A10, on the center "Recents" tab it will show the date - if you want the time, tap the call you want then tap "History".
Another way is from that same tab, click the top right 3 dots, then call history, tap call, then "Call Details".
But if you are looking for a list of all the call date/times already displayed, then I agree the default phone app doesn't make it easy to see which calls came in on which date.

I dont see the issue. If I go into my call history (of my stock dialler), click on a call which then expands to show a sub menu, which I can then click on "history", which has all the dates/times to that number.
