Why is the dialer in WP7 showing letters while it is not using them like on HTC sense. Normally you type some numbers like 0617 and you get all the contacts with those number in their phone number so you are able to select the correct one. Or you can use 2(abc) and you get all the contacts whose name starts with a A B or C.

Two answers.
1. WP7 doesn't have smart dialer.
2. It shows letters for numbers like 1-800-flowers
I hope you understand.
One more reason, why i don´t understand the hype on WP7 - i´m happy to have a good running 6.5, especially after testing the HD7.
Why they're there is obvious. Why are they there on most other land line phones?
Seriously...

This kind of number made me laugh a lot when i first used my phone at US...
(like "WTF? A Phone number combine both numbers and characters?")

But landline phones dont have microchips inside and dont connect to wifi and send emails.. Why are you even comparing smart-phones with landline?
Seriously.. get a grip.

Read the post above urs. The reason why the numbers are there is quite obvious. Lots of companies here have numbers with words for advertising purposes.
So ill repeat myself. The letters are there for the same reason they're on a landline phone.
Ciao!

In the Netherlands we don't use 1-800-flowers. Landline phones in the Netherlands have letters because you can also sms with landline phones and add contacts.
But the dialer is useless unless you know someone's number completely.
I hope MS will add this to their list for updates because I don't want to go the people hub every time and search the contact I want to call.
The messaging app has smart dialing/messaging so why not the dialer app.
Yeah I'd love a smart dialler also, it's really useful
at this moment, only 3rd dialer apps support such features. I'm using "Smart Dial" by Jerry Huang, have a search in the market
Seriosely?!?!? Just hold "Start" button & say "Call Voicemail/Contact, Etc", Done....
Why don't you just use contacts instead of the dialer itself? There you can find your contacts by either using the jumplist, or - what's most close to any smartdialer - using the search button and then type as you would in your dialer.

Hey
I recently bought a Android-phone and thought of starting developing some apps for it! So I ported my BaselsSMSer "previously on winMobile". Thought that maybe some users would find it handy! I'm a "freebee" developer, so I support all software development that is opensource and free for the public. I was surprised when I saw the $25 fee on Market, and thought, "I ain't gonna pay 2 share stuff I'm publishing for free"! So i'm gonna share it with you guys here @xda!! It's the first release and you may find it buggy! Please report any bugs/problems!!
Quick Guide:
-(Number)You can either choose to type the number you wish to flood directly in the text field or click on a name in the list to get contacts number
-(Message)Type the message you wish to send
-(Quantity)Type how many messages to send
-(Send) Send it/them!!
EDIT: Requirement: Android 2.1 or above!

Good app to have fun with, but costly!
not costly if you have a sms flat like me
hehe, I have unlimited free SMS service.. so no problem here.. =)
Why is not there anything like this on Play Store?
The only thing I found was SMS Bomber, but he was deleted from market.
Because it goes against googles rules..
Great first release. Few suggestions. You should be able to search contacts, add multiple numbers to spam, and and be able to spam group texts. Such as view your text threads and you select your group text thread and you can aoam that.
Love it though! Thanks

Just a suggestion
How about a function to set the time between the messages?
Like sending one message every minute or something?
I've let go of this app a long time ago... But for u guys I'll think about implementing ur suggestions...

Hey Everyone,
Just wondering what everyone is using as there Dialer??
The Stock one is quite sad considering that you have to click like a few times to call someone...
Is there a application out there that displays all your contacts and you just have to press once on the name to dial?? ( Not like MeContacts that only displays so many for speed dialing)
I was looking at Dialer one but can't seem to download it...seems discontinued or something...
Please give your preference and if you can, why you chose it.
Thank you all for your input.
Chad
check out superdial
There is 2 in the market place at the moment,
1 that is a paid version but says it's for chinese users but we can use it still and the 2nd one has bugs in it and isn't being continued?

me too looking for something like this , checked superdial, not so impressive though.
Check out Youlu. A number of Android sites have recommended it. I just installed it, and though it could use more options (such as disabling dial-sounds, and hiding of email-only contacts), it looks nice.
wow this is actually better than atakephone, i kinda regret paying for it now!
I always had hard time searching contacts to dial.
I used modified acontacts on my donuts. But im now using Dialer One.
It have call log, dialer. contacts at once. easy to use. and its Free
Try it

Going to try Youlu and Dialer one out right now and see which one I like better!
Another vote for Superdial. I've been using it for a few months now, can't live without it. It's definitely one of the best dialers out there.
My main concern is having quick and easy access to contacts without having to click through 17 menus to get to them. I simply start spelling the name of the contact and it appears, tap their name and it's calling. Takes a mere 2 seconds before I'm calling the person I want.
hi there

kinda confused, i froze and then uninstalled tango, talk and alot of other apps that come with htc's a while back though, didnt even open them to find out what they do
can somebody please confirm that its a hardware that cant help us to have 3g native video call......
regards
3G Native calling is a feature that is missing from Android OS. Samsung & LG have done their own implementation on their phones to support it. The only device that I heard supports it in the HTC range is Sensation, but I haven't seen it in action.
Video calling on Android phones
Google is purposely not using native 3G video(non-data) calling because it wants to promote Gtalk, third party companies, and use of internet plans. Same with Sony etc. Extra revenue is their main aim.
But what's the use ? All other chat-apps offer video calling.
So google should introduce it by themselves in their new and old versions by default.
Post your main use for your Android / iPhone /WinPhone
I think alot of people are really very curious..
Whats the main reason you NEED your Phone?
and then I should probably also mention that antiquated and frivolous use, practically all but forgotten these days.... "Making Phone Calls"
Some of you younger folks may not know what that is.. but I do believe several manufacturers actually still do support this function.
and then theres "SMS".. several phones are still carrying the torch on this one as well.. probably for sentimental reasons

The Google Nexus 4
Google tells us exactly what its made for:
"Play with Your favorite Google Apps"
"Use an 'amazing' Photo Sphere camera"
"Access your favorite entertainment on Google Play"
"Puts the best of Google in the palm of your hand"
"ZIP around the web" (yes, this has nothing to do with your carrier, eh?.. your hardware will make the internet faster... ya.. ok..)
"Experience 3D graphics and gameplay"
"Switch between multiple apps"
So... to summarize, these phones are made, specifically, for:
Putting Google Products in your hand
Use Google Apps
Entertain yourself with Google Play
Making you a Googlephile
Make you Googly with Google
Turning you into a Googlebot
woohoo...
cool
Sounds like the little green Android Robot is Google's graphical representation of its end user
I'm sure there's an internal Google memo to that effect somewhere..

Welcome to One Caller!
WHAT IS THIS?
One Caller is an app that gives you the possibility to call any phone number in the world using Internet Wifi or Mobile Data.
WHY SHOULD I USE IT?
Now a days we have our family or friends all over the world. Calling their cell phone number or home phone might get a bit expensive. That's why One Caller provides a flat cheap rate to get minutes and talk to your loved ones.
It's also perfect to prank a friend, make a private call, or talk about something secret on the phone.
REQUIREMENTS?
Internet connection
BENEFITS?
The app is designed to show as "Unknown" caller with no number or caller ID on the screen of the receiver. The calls are charged by minute and are extremely cheap!
EXACTLY HOW PRIVATE IS THE CALL?
The call is rerouted and is completely untraceable!
HOW TO USE?
Simply open the app, enter the phone number directly USING THE COUNTRY CODE, press the green call icon on the bottom left and you are dialing!
WHAT'S NEXT?
Please rate and comment with suggestions!
Enjoy!

Thank you for the typo error, fixing it right away
The difference of this caller is that it's a flat rate fee to call any country, any number. No hustle finding cheap callers because this is the cheapest of them all.
The system is secure and untraceable too.

Thanks for the support and interest in this project. We are currently working on the mobile phone's service and making it better. Also, we are adding the contacts picker, too.
Ok, so its a flat fee, but what is that fee? Is it a flat fee per minute or per month? How do we pay for it? I do not see any website where I can check this up.
