Anyway around this annoying problem? - Captivate General

I have notes in a memo on my phone. They are codes I need to punch in when I dial a certain number. OK, so I open my memo pad. Then I start a phone call. Then I go back to the memo pad. But how the heck do I then bring up the dial pad again? I couldn't find a way to get to that menu screen once I was on a call and opened a different app mid call.
cliffs:
1) opened memo pad to read memo
2) called a phone number
3) went back to memo pad to read numbers
4) no way to bring up the dial pad to enter these numbers
5) in frustration wrote the numbers on a piece of paper, hung up, and called back. I shouldn't have to do this...

I had to do this once a well. What I did was after looking at notes, hold down the menu button to bring up the recent programs list. From there, select phone.

Use Notifications abr
Pull down the notifications bar. It should have a link to the phone call session.
Like the other poster mentioned, holding the home button is another option.

^what he said!

I'll try that next time.
i actually went to my home screen and clicked on 'phone" from the dock. I would have expected it to know I was on a call and give me the option to pull up the dial pad. it didn't...

Lost dial functionality after upgrade

Hi All,
I have successfully completed the Big Storage upgrade to the t-mobile 1.13 ROM and I am now trying to get back some of the functionality I have lost during this process. I have managed to get most of the stuff the way I like it, however I used to be able to push the 'contacts' button, then use the directional pad to highlight a contact, then press the 'call' button (this much still works) but then I could then use the directional pad to select whether I wanted to call that contacts mobile, home phone or whatever....I can't do this anymore.
Does anyone know which extended rom cab provides this?
Cheers,
Adam.
I think you should install the Smart Dial and Phone Pad cabs.

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.

Home button

Is there anyway to remove the circle that pops up when pressing the home button via the tablet? I am referring to the circle that has the other circle that says Google in it. I suppose one could call it an alternative route to Google Now/Search.

Only time I saw that circle was when I didn't change the method of locking the tablet. And now that I use a password, Pressing home (both on screen and in dock) does nothing if the tablet is already unlocked. When locked they also do nothing until the password is keyed in....
Do you have any other intention for long pressing the Home key? I ask this because the Google Now shortcut only shows on a long press. It doesn't appear when you simply tap the key to go Home, so it's not going to bother too many people.
Ahhh, so that's it. I'm guessing the OP needs to change he long press timeout to medium or long to prevent this from happening....
I already have mine set to medium, so that's why I didn't see it. It didn't occur to me to long press.
@OP: Settings --> Accessibility --> Touch & hold delay - change to medium / long. You're inadvertently long pressing the home button and that is why you're seeing what you're seeing.
Okie dokie. It doesn't affect performance or anything but I don't use that method when opening Google Now so I didn't like having it pop up every time.

[Q] Default view going to make a call

I have CleanROM 5 with krapmods, I need to know if it is possible to have my default be that when I go to phone for it to be recent instead of keypad? Also when I go to recent to make a call or return a missed call pressing on the recent caller brings up there properties and then I have to make another press to call them, is there a way to eliminate the second one? I know I can just press send but I still have to press the caller to dial out, that is also two presses.

Why don't you swipe right to call or swipe left to text when you are on the Recent Calls screen? There's no second screen when doing it this way and it's part of TouchWiz.

Still means having to get to the recent calls screen after opening the phone. I want it to be already there.

Call a contact quickly

I quite like the stock dialler, but how do you phone someone quickly? Currently I:
1) press the dialler icon
2) press the * icon
3) press the avatar for the person I want to call
4) click on the desired phone number (home, mobile, work etc).
Can I somehow skip at least step 4 and have a default number for them so that just clicking their contact photo phones them (and long pressing pulls up the other info, perhaps)?
1) press the dialer icon
2) start typing the name of the person you want using the dialpad (similar to T9)
3) Press the name and number you want to dial, it will initiate the call

That's another way to do it, certainly, but it doesn't seem to do very much towards reducing the number of keys I press!

Stick the top contacts widget on the desktop and use that, two clicks, or click phone and make sure the top three people are one of the ones you want to dial, or scroll and the keyboard disappears to show call log. 2 Clicks.
Can't say there is going to be a much quicker way of doing it short of voice controls...
There should be speed dial settings but there aren't
You can put direct dials into a swipe launcher. You can call those wity one swipe. Smart task launcher for example has more than 700 spots, swipe pad is more user friendly.
I have used this widget on almost every android I have had in the last few years: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmail.yuyang226.contactswidget
I use Nova Launcher. Swipe up on the dialer icon means direct call to my wife ?
