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?

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'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?
When i change the voicemail number from *86 (the number Verizon uses for voicemail) to *86PXXXXP1 and press "ok" the P, which stands for pause, disappears. This also happens when i use my own phone number instead of *86.
I can change the voicemail speed dial to another number and it will work, but i will not be able to click on "listen to voicemail" link and have it automatically enter my password.
Does anyone know a regedit or a workaround to make the pauses stay in the official voicemail number? I can see the companies not wanting the pauses allowed for security reasons, but i'm more concerned with ease.
By official voicemail number i mean... start > Settings > Personal > Phone > Voicemail:
Found Fix
I knew this would happen. As soon as i posted the question i would find a solution. For those of you who are also bothered by this. Here's the reg fix...
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\VMail\UserProvidedNumber1
Change string to your preferred voicemail number with the pauses.
That should fix it. If you ever do go into Start>Settings>Personal>Phone though it will change it back to the number without the pauses.
I'm curious if i am the only one who is bothered by this. Please let me know if you too are annoyed by this!
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.
Hello,
Im getting a bit frustrated about this thing.
On my HTC Touch dual running the stock rom there is somekind of speeddail (when you hold 1 on the phone app it calls to the voicemail.
And thats the problem. When our cow milking robot calls. I answer, need to press 1 (to accept the message). But instead of sending the "1" to the milking robot it calls my voicemail and i cant answer the milking robot.
Anyway, is there a way to remove this? Delete is grayed out in the speeddail menu and i cant change the number of it.
Unfortunately this is set by default in almost every modern phone that you can find. I would suggest going into settings, there's an option to enter your own number. On my phone, if I leave this blank, the 1 speed dial won't work. I'm not too sure if this will also be the case on your phone but you can give it a try
on a Samsung Galaxy S.
