Dialing problem in WM6 from today screen - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

i got a strange device with WM6 on it. however whenever i have to dial from today screen the first is digit and the next are alphabet. i have to hold the shift key to enter other digits of the phone no. to be dialed.
i know this problem can be solved by a simple regedit but i dunno which regkey to hit on.
The phone has a touchscreen too so i guess its WM6 professional.
attaching the phone pictures..

Looks like JAQ4 from imate..where did u get this?

Just press Start->Settings->Device Information->Hardware
and you should be able to see the device model no. under Identity tab..

I got this phone and some other strange ones from a company in china. they say they get there phone manufactured from imate factory. and there is no logo of company anywhere on device nor any Device Information icon in settings.

Smart dialing is lost? How can I restore it?

Hi Guys
I have an SPV M700. When I pressed the phone green button I used to have advanced dialing features whereby if I press on the Alphanumeric keypad, the phone would lookup the sequence in my Contacts and shortlist the names that begin with my input.
I have recently installed SPB Pocket Plus (A great plugin), and everything was OK, then today I downloaded the Silver Theme, and I lost my Phone Smart dialing Options
Can anyone help me get it back
Thanks

how to use VitoCopyPaste

hey guys, i downloaded this program, but i cant seem to figure out how to copy and paste. i thought u just held down the joystick key, yet that doesnt seem to be working (yes i clicked on teh icon and the program is running) thanks

The program should install itself so that you don't have to do anything to launch it when your phone boots. The only indication you have is a rectangular yellow box that pops up after your get to main screen that says 'the application is running'. Once it does, keep the center button in the D-pad pressed for 3 or 4 seconds and the menu should pop up. One thing to note that it doesn't always work in all applications.
it doesn't work for me, either - no way to activate it.
hardware: o2 xda cosmo running original wm5.0 (O2 branding)
i cannot figure out how to use it either...

Excalibur Vibrating problems...

Hey all, I have Kavanas latest wm6.1 upgrade on my phone... For some reason my phone does not vibrate anymore, any way to fix this problem? Or is my phone jacked?
I'd bet it's a burned out vibrating motor. Check the Wiki, I think it has a link to figure out how to disassemble and motor's can be had for reasonable prices on eBay where people are usually selling broken Excalibur's just for parts.
That would suck... My phone is 2 weeks old...
same
same thing happened to me but if i go back to the tmo rom it works fine idk y

ok so if you press and hold the "A" key ( also called the # key) for about 3 seconds and the profile changes to vibrate, the phone doesnt vibrate indicating the profile change?

No, my phone does not vibrate at all, i tried putting it on the vibrate profile, tried setting my text messages as a vibrate alert... nothing, no vibration at all...

what i mean was if you hold down the #(A) key it will put it into the vibrate profile and the phone will actually vibrate at the same time. which is different from when you manually pick the vibrate profile. i was wondering if you had done this yet. im not saying it will fix your problem, more of a confirmation that your vibrate hardware is fubared or not. so take your phone out of the vibrate profile, then press and hold your "#"(A) key until you see the vibrate icon at the top of your iconbar....see if it vibrates.... if it doesn't your, vibrate hardware is toast.
I guess my phone is toasted huh? I tried, it switched to vibrate... but no vibration... gah, whatevs...
my only suggestion for a last ditch effort would be to either/ and hard reset your phone/Reload the official WM6 ROM from your mobile provider.
If re-loading your stock official ROM seems to make it work again, it's up to you if you want to re-try kavana or rick's WM 6.1 ROM. If you do and it stops again, you may just end up being stuck with the Standard RO mon your phone or if the phone's new, you can complain to your mobile provider and have then replace it for you. (just make sure the official ROM is reloaded on it b-4 you send your in)
That happened to me as well. Turned out it was the vibrator motor that was slightly disconnected (probably due to a fall). Took about 5 minutes to get it working again. It's just a matter of opening the back plastic. With the right set of tools, you'll have it done and diagnoses in no time. Even if you need to get a new vibrator motor, it's pretty cheap. Just Google it around.

End Call -> Home Screen

Maybe it's just me but I would like to go to my home screen when I end a call instead of back to the dialer/phone. I searched but couldn't find anything on that.
Anyone know how to do this or care to figure it out?
This is too easy....press the hardware End key?
You may want to elaborate if this isn't what you're after...

I take it you're like me and you spam the end key about 5 times at the end of a call?

Ok now I feel stupid. Thanks though, I would probably never have thought of that on my own.
Is it possible to get the onscreen end key to do the same?
I made a post with a similar problem a while back and had no replies to fix it.
The contents are as follows:
Tilt2, End call, looking at contacts! Why?
Tilt2: If i get a call and hit the end call button, why am i left looking at my contacts. It ONLY happens on incoming calls. If i end call on a call i made, from within my contacts, it goes back to the main screen!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=574970
My problem is that i use spb mobile shell and after i end the call, the phone relocks. When i later unlock the phone, i am still looking at the contacts.
Ok I don't feel so stupid. Hardware key does the exact same thing as soft key. Phone isn't fast enough to hit it twice in succesion and lock the screen in one fluid motion so I go back to my original request.
Anyone know how to get it to go from end call (soft or hard butotn) directly to home screen instead of to the dialer?

Not sure if it has anythign to do with it or not, but might it have something to do with the phone asking if you want to add them to your contacts and maybe you are inadvertantly hitting somethign sending you to your contacts?
I've not had any issue with it pulling up my contacts unless I accidently hit something.
Whoops, should read:
My problem is that i use S2U2 and after i end the call, the phone relocks. When i later unlock the phone, i am still looking at the contacts.
Im am positive i am not hitting anything on the screen because sometimes i hit the talk and speaker phone, then use the end call button. We have 2 of these and both do the same thing. It only happens if the phone was locked to start with. If the phone is not locked (figured this out playing them), once i end the call, the contacts screen will go away in 10 seconds or so.

Try this. Hit the End key and then the Back key in quick succession. This will bring you to your last opened window. If you didn't have any active windows, this will bring you back to your home screen.
