I have the dash flashed to the Rogers wm6 ROM which is about 10x smoother/faster than the Tmoboile wm6...
But anyway, one thing i always hated with the tmobile was that if i was type alpha characters to find contact to dial, during my query, it would Automatically popup with (see below, dont know how to take a screenshot):
Dialer (Title)
Confirm
--------------------------------
Dial XXX at (yyy) - yyy-yyyy?
--------------------------------
Yes | No |
--------------------------------
How do i disable this? its really annoying because 99% of the time, the name that its asking to dial is incorrect and usually the same, ...ex. ill type the letters S A R for sarah, as soon as i see sarah in the list, this damn auto thing comes up saying (before i get the chance to select), Dial Chris at (xxx) -xxx-xxxx?
I was hoping this would go away with the rogers wm6, but alas it has not..
thanks for any help.
sim number
It try to dial number in sim card. example if you type ra, it also mean 3#. (dial number location 3 in sim). I solve it by delete all numbers in Sim card. Hope this help.
Ah that makes sense, is there any way to disable that without deleting my SIM contacts and using phone mem?
i don't have this problem and i have all my contacts backed up on the sim.
i don't know the solution... but just wanted to point out that i don't think you should have to delete all your sim contacts to fix. unless it has something to do with you ONLY having your contacts on your sim. i use the phone for my contacts and just have everything on the sim for backup only.
I try to disable SIM contact in setting-phone-call option but it does not help.

I'm not sure if it's only me, or everyone.
I have a Rogers s621 running on the brightpoint rom. If you start typing a contacts name from the homescreen and it starts with a letter that's within the keypad (w,e,r,s,d,f,x,c,v); and the 2nd letter is a(#).
The shortcut asks you if you want to dial that entry number from your contacts.
FOR EXAMPLE
You want to call your friend Darryl. From the homescreen you punch in D(5), A(#). Your phone will then ask you if you want to call the 5th entry in your phonebook and you have to say NO before you can continue typing darryl's name.
Maybe it's only me I don't know.

My stock with a few apps loaded Rogers 6 rom does not have that behavior.
strange, i guess it's either a bug or one of the many 3rd party apps that's controlling it.
the HTC ROM doesn't have this shortcut.
It's so dumb.
I have the new HTC rom and it does this. It's very annoying.
solution !
when this happens, it means that you have field number 5 of your sim card filled with darel's phone number.
so by field number on the sim car you can dial :
"1#" for the first number
"2#" for the second number
"3#" for the third
"49#" for the 49th number......
....
what you have to do is to copy the sim directory to the phone then you erase the sim contact list.
the you'll be able to dial darel number easyly.
Last solution : learn the begining of darel phone number, start hiting the number, you'll find the name.
sorry for my english.

I never thought of that. Guess I'm gonna erase the sim. Thanks again.
You could also try not erasing the sim, but copying contacts to the phone, then disabling the sim phonebook in settings>phone>call options. This way the sim is still backed up with all your numbers if the problem is resolved without erasing.

Tried that before i posted this thread, didn't work.
Deleted the sim contacts and everything's good now.
The weirdest thing is that this shortcut isn't even documented anywhere in the original htc manuals.
I'd like to be able to enter my contacts on my XDA Orbit, 7-digit number only, and have it recognize these contacts when they call. My carrier passes the number (123)456-7890 to my phone as +11234567890,, so why can't my phone realize that that number is the same as 4567890 (in the same area code). This way, whenever I receive a phone call or text message, I'm not sure who it is. Is it a simple setting? Thanks. My past phones (mostly Nokias and Samsungs) have not had problems with this at all.

Maybe you can try this:
Contacts > Menu > Options..., you can see the Area CODE, just Clear it.
Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I kept getting the 500 Internal Server Error when trying to access the site. Neither removing the area code, nor adding a 1, nor adding +1 works. Thanks for your help so far.
I have been using touch 4.01 for a while now and I really like it. The only problem I have is when it comes to making calls (the main reason for a phone).
When I go to contacts and try to display a list, all I get is a list of contacts that I have already made a call to (i.e. history) not the actual list from my sim card. I thought that maybe my sim was not being read but when I start to dial a number (If I happen to know it) It will come up with the persons name. Unfortunately If I don't know the number I can't dial them.
The only way I have been able to work round this is to go to favorite people and add a new person (as from here it will display the whole contact list). Unfortunately favourite people can only hold 8 numbers.
Basically I want to know how to show my contact list that is on my sim card and not the numbers I have already dialed.
Thanks in advance but It's really starting to bug me now.

May U run SIM Manager in Program/Accesories and copy all contact to Your PPC or run Advanced Config in Settings, line "Show Sim Contact" and active "Yes" and Reset your PPC.
Goodluck
Hello forum
I’m having issues retrieving voice mail by pressing the relevant button 1.
Each time press 1 for voice mail I get a warning tone saying “Calls to this number are bard” the only way to retrieve voicemail is to dial 222 via the service provider’s options.
I’ve been in contact with my network provider and have had the voice mail set up but I still can’t access voice mail. Can some one help please?
Hi, I really dont know much about your network, but in order for dialing "1" to access my voicemail to work, I had to enter my voicemail number under 1 in speed dial.
Im not sure if you have already done that, or if youre running an oem rom, you may not have to, is it dialing the correct number, when you press "1"?
Also under "settings" / "phone" / "services" tab, you can select to retrieve voicemail, and txt settings....not sure of that may help either.
Sorry if you have already covered this, I just know its easy to overlook things at times, and thought I might suggest it, hope you get your problem sorted.
call to this number are bard.
Thanks for the advice; I’ve actually tried that method the first time I was in contact with service provider T-mobile and it didn’t work. T -mobile push the problem to HTC as the manufacture of the unit. I was in contact with HTC, but the very nice and helpful tech support lady concluded its t-mobile problem. Currently stuck in between.
I'm experiencing the same thing. You can run the programe called "Interactive". Select voice service then call voicemail. A message will ask you if you want to call voicemail, tap yes and it calls. It's an around the house way of doing it, but i know of no other solution right now.
BTW i have a vario III on t-mobile.
Ok i think i've worked it out I was having the same problem.
As from the previous post....when in phone select/ "Menu"/ "Options" in "settings" you'll see a "services" tab,select that then you can select to retrieve voicemail, and txt settings.
Check the voicemail number...I notice that the phone or t-mobile added 050 to the number. If you have something similar you need to remove it. You voicemail number should be you number with +44 at the start, with the first "0" removed and the rest of your number. Eg if your number was:
07951123456
its should read +447951123456
I did this and it works fine.If it works for you maybe you could pass the information onto on to T-mobile.
Hope that helps.

Where did you get the device?? What ROM is it running? pretty sure the 050 might have been added by the ROM or national on the OS. The network should report the full international number (ie the +44xxxxxxxxxxx number).
he is right

I bought it off Ebay. It's running wm6.1, i'm sure it said in the description that it was a HTC Rom, could be wrong ( HTC website is the default site in IE )...but the inital problem is easily sortable.
ps. +44 is the code for the uk, other countries would have different codes, so remember to take that into consideration.

A thanks guy the directions has resolved the issue and I can now dial number one on hemers to retrieve voice mail. As you quite rightly said three digits added in the set of numbers for the voice mail (060) This is what I did START =>SETTINGS=>PHONE=>SERVICES=> high light VOICE MAIL AND TEXT MESSAGE=> click GET SETTINGS=> check the voice mail numbers for any unusual among the set of voice mail numbers.
So I have a TMobile G2. Straight out the box, with no customization what-so-ever. My only problem is the stock messaging. I'm able to add pictures to my contacts and when I text them their picture shows up in the thread. But for my own picture, its a greyed out box. How do I get my own pic to show up?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using outer space satellites.
Have you tried adding yourself as a contact?
If you go into settings>about phone>status>my phone number will say "unknown" correct?
Even if you add yourself as a contact, it will still be grayed out because the phone will not be able to distinguish that the number that you added as a contact is meant for you.
People have said that cleaning out the contacts on the sim card has helped fix this, and others have had the sim card replaced and it fixed the problem. There have also been times where people have done both and it still hasn't fixed the problem.
Hope it offers some insight for ya.

I hadn't heard of this happening with the stock G2 ROM. It happens to me on CM6 right now, but didn't on stock. If after setting yourself up as a contact, you still show up as a gray box, definitely check to see if you are an unknown number. If so, you can call up T-Mobile and ask customer support to push your number back to your SIM card. They will be able to do this over the air. Alternatively, if you have access to other phones, some of them allow you to set the phone number on the SIM (my old Nokia's, Sone Ericcson's, and Samsung's did).
If you call Tmo I think they fix the unknown number thing for you
