Hi there
I'm pretty happy with my XDA exec installed in "corporate mode" (far more reliable/stable than the standard mode i received it in from O2) however i have a very annoying problem:
After its been switched on and in use for a few hours the "phone" feature stops giving you access to the on-screen number keypad. When you select the "phone" app from the start menu shortlist it takes you to a page with only the following 6 keys: "call History" "mute" "video" "note"
"contacts" "hold" and "end".
In order to get the number pad back (so you can call people other than those in your contacts) it offers you a "keypad" option. However when you click it this does nothing.
This is quite frustrating as it means if you wish to make a call in PDA mode (where the qwerty keyboard is hidden behind the screen) you have no number keypad with which to dial a new number.
Is there a fix for this? Perhaps there's a home screen i can set it to which always has the phone number keypad displayed.
Many thanks
Charlie

Hey everyone, I've searched the thread and hope I'm not the only one experiencing this problem with the Dopod WM6 Rom.
This happens every time I'm on a call and go to my notes to type info, the numeric keys 0-9 activate and I only get numbers when pressing them, and not the alphabetic characters, as soon as I end the call the keyboard returns back to normal.
Any suggestions?
Many people are aware of this problem and currently, there is no fix for it yet.
Some people were saying it isn't a bug, but it was intentionally made so the numbers input during a phone call when your phone is open to dial other numbers. You can always use the on-screen keyboard to type.
Thanks, guess we'll just have to wait then
WM6 seems like it runs allot better but I do have some small issues with the way the phone works now:
1. When I dial out anywhere and it says "dialing..." if I hit end before it starts dialing (ie: i dialed the wrong number by accident) it ends the call but then looses network service and says "searching..." and regains signal after 10-15 seconds - kind of annoying.
2.When I dial straight from the home screen and start typing a name it uses letters for the numbers now as if it were a T9 phone (ie: if I hit 4 for "S" it will also search G,H,I - with my WM5 it didn't do this) - hope that makes sense to you guys out there?
Everything else seems ok about it. I can't remember if there are any other issues that I don't like.
Symbols disappeared... I mean the key below the camera icon, if I press it I have è or à, I have a WWE Rom....
I've edited the registry key to disable the HTC dialer and restore the WM dialer - the combination of that and turning off TF3d restores about a third of the program memory. Initially I couldn't get the contacts / call log lookup to work, but I discovered that if you rename the "SmartDial" key in the registry (in the same area as the Skin Enabled / Disabled selector), the default behaviour is restored.
The only oddity is that accessing the call log and speed dials is strange. The call log and speed dial buttons on the keypad work fine. If you have the keypad displayed, menu items for "Call History" and "Speed Dial" appear in the SK2 menu, but do nothing when tapped. If you hide the keypad, the menu items appear as "(A)" and "(B)" rather than "Call History" and "Speed Dial", and still don't work.
Has anyone got any clues as to what I need to hack to get these menu items working properly? There is a chunk of registry under HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Extensions\ContextMenus\Phone that looks promising, but I can't seem to get anything that works.
Ah - fixed it. It seems that the three menu items for Call History, Speed Dial and Save To Notes are HTC additions to the menu, rather than features of the default WM dialler. You can turn them off by setting AddPhoneMenu to 0 under HKLM/Software/HTC/Phone.
Hi! Since my Note 4's Lollipop update last week, I am very frustrated with what the dialer does during outgoing calls (not using HD calling right now). After I make the call, the call screen disappears into the notification bar and I have to swipe down (being careful not to touch the sensors that make the screen go black) to get the dialer back on the screen. This is really a pain when I need the keypad. I really just want the dial screen to stay on the screen full size. I can't seem to figure out how to do this after much Googling (maybe because people don't think it's a problem...but it's a very annoying problem for me!). Any ideas on how to fix this? Many thanks! Amanda PS...Incoming calls are fine...dial screen stays full size on the screen.
Welcome to the lollipop group! I am using sip accounts and when I dial, the dialer asks me whether I want to use my phone operator or one of the sip accounts. After I choose I have no dialer left.
If i swipe back to the dialer tab in the phone application, I can see 3 options:
x use touch tone keypad
< return to call screen
+ add call
and if i select "return to call screen" i can see again the dialog that asks me which phone to use for the outgoing call (while i'm still calling or even talking with the other side)
Google don't care about this, they're probably looking to phase out "internet calling" since they have their own competing product now (hangouts).

I'm having exactly the same issue on a Note 3 now with Lollipop.
I am new to HTC 10, went from Nexus 5X. I liked the easy way how to dial the contact from my Favorites in Dialer of Nexus 5X.
1st touch - run Dialer app
2nd touch - touch any contact from Favorites (it calls it directly - as I was able to select default action)
On HTC 10 (latest Android 7.0) I go
1st touch - run Dialer app
2nd touch - touch any contact from Favorites (it just opens the contact information)
3nd touch - touch on the number I want to call - then only it initiates the call
Even when "Set default action" to Call, it only open the contact information. Still one touch more I am able to accept.
Is this just bug of the Dialer?

For me, what you want (quick calls to frequent contacts) is done by assigning speed dial numbers to my frequent contacts. Even faster than what you described on your 5x.
Actually your way is not faster. One normal touch and one long one is not less than two normal touches.

Well if you wanna count milliseconds then also factor in the time it takes your finger to move around and select Favorites, "waiting" for the screen animation to complete and again moving your finger to the contact name and pressing it.
Little offtopic discussion, but ok - how do you show the screen where you can press the number of speed dial? Isn't this another touch?
Anyway, your way is just not the way for me. As it seems stock dialer is just not correct, I replaced it with Pixel one and I am satisfied.

Speed dials are assigned to the number keys on the dial pad. You hold the number on the dial pad you assigned for a particular contact and it dials it. So pretty much it's the first thing you see when you open the dialer.
Good that you sorted it out.
