Edited an old cab to remove the version limits. It now works on Wm6.
Install and then dial a number from the standard phone dial pad to test! You should feel a short vibrate when you tap a number button letting you know that it's been tapped.
Add it to your CAB file collection.

What exactly does this do, with Phone Pad? Sounds interesting
It vibrates shortly each time, you press number in dial pad... or I guess, coz it did not work on my TyTN
but mayby is problem with some SPB products, because I have lot of them installed in my TyTN... e.g. phone suite, which can manipulate automatically with sound, vibration and light according to profile settings...
YUP! When you go to the dial screen and tap a number a small vibrate lets you know that a button has been pressed.
I'm also using bunches of SPB programs, but I still get the Vibrate from the standard dial screen.

It works on my Hermes but you have to long-press the key. Press for at least a half second to get the vibrate motor spinning.
Also, be sure to set either "short" or "long" tones in the phone options. It won't do anything if set to "none."
Hey thanks for converting to WM6 I had been missing it for awhile now!
Any chance this will work in WM5? Please and thanks.
Yeah this is soooooooooooo useful tip man, thanks a lot !!^^
Uninstall Issues...
I liked the idea, just didn't like the fact that you have to push the button for so long to get hte vibrate to react, just a fraction longer and it turns into a speed dial. So let's talk about the uninstall....
I unstalled the app, everything went normal. Now I have no keypadd tones at all.
hshortt, can you provide a fix or provide the registry keys that this install/uninstall modified?
EDIT: Nevermind, fixed on my own...
Works with the HTC Touch / Vouge. Just had to do a soft reset twice. For some reason after the first time, the touch screen stopped responding.
I'd like to know what you did to get your keyapd tones back, this program sucks!!!

guys i have tried the solution in the above link, it didnt work out.
if i exported the registry files from a non screwd device, and exported to my mine... will it work out?
This program is not very effective, cause when I tap out a phone number naturally I tap it quickly, and you have to hold for at least 300ms (I reckon) for it to even do a little vibrate.
it somehow needs to be much more sensitive, lower ms or something. Maybe its a limitation of the whole vibrate mechanism in the phone anyway.
Oh well.
Lost All Sounds
after installing i lost all sound output from my back speaker
no music, no ringtones, nothing
it only made my phone pad vibrate but screwed up all other sound output
tried to uninstall & still no fix
also hard reset & gflashing ROM again didnt fix
did it screw up my device completely !!!!!!!!!!
any fix please???
Vibrate dial pad
Thank you ! This is just what I was looking for
Sorry.Didn't find how to delete message
Hi pretty neat program, until I found a better one TouchResponse... This one allows you to even select the vibration time, and it vibrates on every tap on your touch screen. Well the problem is I un-installed Phone Pad Vibrate and now the the sound is gone when I press a phone number. The link for the fix isn't working, so how do I fix it so I can get the sound back???
Did the link for removal instructions get moved/removed for this?
The link from above is still broken. Anyone have instructions on how to remove this app?
could someone upload it on rapidshare, because i can´t load it, thank you
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
Hey all,
Im a long time user of the forums but havent posted anything yet. Anyway, ive been seeing this issue on some other forums and after massive searching cant find a fix.
I just got the official upgrade to WM6.1 on my sprint HTC Touch. PRIOR to 6.1 the "main" today screen showed a missed calls link (icon is a phone with a "!"), which by default listed an entire call history - missed calls, received calls, and outgoing calls. AFTER upgrading to 6.1 the same button now only lists missed calls. there is a menu button which contains a filter, and the ability to switch to "all calls". the only problem is, this filter doesnt stick. after closing it and reopening it reverts back to only showing missed calls. This is a huge pain in my arse as I used that button almost every time i use my phone. (redials, sending texts, getting numbers, etc)
As far as my options on alternatives goes, this is what I know:
1. I know you can open the "phone" dial screen and access a full call history. (this is ok, but I really want a quick one touch access!)
2. I found the callhistory.exe floating around on here, got it set up in my programs and mapped it to the camera softkey. (also a pain because I had all my soft keys mapped to other things, and i tend to hold my phone in my right hand making it annoying to hit)
I would really LOVE to know if there is a way to get that "missed calls" key on the today screen to show the entire call history like it used to do!!!!! (or at least add/change another button on the main today screen to access call history)
I may just be screwed, but if anyone can figure it out I know xda-devs can. Any help would be appreciated.
p.s. If other people are seeing this thread and are in the same spot, and want to know how to set up callhistory.exe to map to a softkey let me know, and ill post those details on that temporary alternative.

I have the same problem on my Xperia. Does anyone have a solution?
Why dont you try this little app,dont remember where i got it from but very handy.It creates a short cut for your call history in the Programs section.Hope this helps.
has anyone come up with solution for this annoying bug that filter selection in Call History from Today screen does not stick and defaults to Missed Calls only?
Dear all,
Is there any way to add a confirmation dialog for the number I am dialing from my Touch Pro2? I have accidentally dialed a few calls when I touch the contact quick links on my home page, and when I scroll through the call history or my contact list. I notice that this is a common problem for quite a few people but I have not been able to find a solution. Note that I am NOT asking for screening locking.
Thank you very much.
Welcome to forums
I have never made an accidental call...
You can always block your device
This is not about blocking. I have S2U2 installed and there is no pocket dialing or anything like that. What I am talking about is that when I look through my call history, scroll through my contact list or quick contact links, my finger action may not be a perfect scroll action to the phone so it start dialing right away.
I am new to the forum and can not post links here but if you google "touch pro2 dial confirmation", or "touch pro2 accidental dialing", this is a common problem, at least to new touchphone users.
I'm not a new touchphone user, and I completely know/agree with what you are talking about.
thank god. I thought it was me. For the first two weeks of owning this phone I actually would tell people who called me or that I called "I just bought a brand new phone so if you get a phone call from me and I do not leave a voice mail, it it because I dailed you by accident, sorry". Pretty embarressing especially for a business phone.
It is my first touch phone, but still .....
When you are on phone, do not try to scroll through recent call, especially with the keyboard up. And do not try to do it one handed, where you use your thumb to scroll. It doesn't work for me. My thumb is terrible at scrolling.
I then I don't realize that I am already on the phone screen and press the phone button.
Really cannot figure out all the ways I accidentally call someone. And it has mostly stopped. But still ....
I can usually press "End Call" before it starts ringing on the other end. But I agree that since the scroll gesture, and pressing to select/call are almost the same gesture, there should be a confirmation screen. Or they should make a scroll bar on the side (but that might clutter things up).
I have the same problem, and the end call button is to slow to stop the call. Calling happens so fast that even if I press the end call button immediately it rings at least once.
I've had touch phones for years.... This is just something you get used to. It will happen regardless of whether you are using an Iphone, Windows Phone etc etc.
You just have to be carefull I suppose, no other way around it. You would get very tired of having to confirm EVERY call you make I would think. I dont get any "accidental" calls any more. I havnt for years actually. It's just a matter of training your gestures I would think. When scrolling dont push your finger on a contact and hold it there but start at the bottom or top of the screen and start swiping your finger down (or up) before your finger touches the screen. The only time you get a "accidental" press would be if you start by pressing your finger down and leaving it there a second or ending with your finger on a contact for a second or so.
I'm somehow able to leave my finger on a contact and swipe up or down and it doesnt select the contact untill I actually hold my finger there so. It must just be a way you guys are doing whatever it is you are doing.
That's my two cents though!
I guess people get over this problem sooner or later so xda-developers, who are certainly experienced users of touch phones, do not feel a need to add such a confirmation box.
Anyway, confirmation box is not the only way to prevent accidental dialing. For example, if pressing end-call in 2 seconds actually stops dialing, I do not mind waiting 2 extra seconds for each call. Right now, even immediate end-call cannot stop a call.

I just noticed something, in Advanced Config, under "Phone", there is an item "End Call Delay". Its set to 3 seconds by default, which seems like a long time to delay ending the call. I've just changed it to 1 second, and going to see how that works out.
Advanced Config is here, if you don't already have it:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151
I must have had at least 50 accidental calls in the last month. Everytime I scroll through my recent history it somehow takes it like I clicked on a number to call...
can somebody please make a fix where I can click YES OR NO right before I make a call.. or maybe a 5 second timer with a cancel button before a call..
thanks a lot!!
btw.
i had an android and i used to use google voice so it would prevent accidently calling someone
google voice app for android has a message that pops up when you make a call that asks which number to use for the call (google voice, or phone)
something like that would work nice
Another thing that might be worth considering is tweaking the amount of pressure required with a touch to simulate a click. If you can find a sweet spot where you're able to select an item when you need to, and scrolling is still possible, could be worth a look. I think I've seen reg entries or tweaking programs that cover this, though it is possible they were for different HTC models, and perhaps ours doesn't register varying amounts of pressure? In which case, is it possible to alter how long you need to press on an item before a click is registered?
Not an answer re. wanting call confirmation, I realise, but something to consider, possibly.
I have the same issue with accidentally dialing numbers. Android has an app, think it's called "Confirm Call". A similar Windows Mobile app would be appreciated and used by many.
The trick is, to apply even pressure to the screen when scrolling up or down. Try not to let your finger press and release to quickly.
For some reason, I can't find a way to get VC to say the numbers when using the dialer instead of just unsing tones. I could do this on my Incite and prefer the positive confirmation of number pressed. Any ideas? Thanks.
settings\personal\voice command
in there you can change the setting.
I believe if you press the 'phone' option so its highlighted then press the options button on the right you'll be brought to a new window where you can change how it responds. I know it does what you want for me when I call and I have "confirm when calling by name" and "confirm when dialing by number" selected.
@Aaron, I have all three items checked, but still only get tone dialing.
wait... are you talking about when you press the number pad on the phone screen? Cause if so then yes, voice command wouldn't speak the numbers as you press each key. What voice command does is allow you to SPEAK to your phone and it will do what you say...
It's usually mapped to the phone/answer button on your phone (far left button on the bottom front of your phone) Press it but hold it down.... then say "call joe" or whoever... or "dial 3497894023"
Then it will confirm by saying "dial 3497894023?" And you have to say "yes"... and then it will dial.
There's a ton of commands: what time is it, whats my next appointment, whats the battery status, next track, play album etc etc. Just to name a few
As far as saying the number you pressed as tones when you press the actual number pad. That I don't get. I do remember I had a cab a LONG time ago when I had the touch pro that did it but, really, if you're pressing the number pad odds are you are looking at the phone right. I didn't keep it all too long. Especially when you can just press the call button as a long press and tell the phone what to dial.
This is what bordom gets you and doing a little digging....
Talking Dialpad
as I was talking about above; all this does is change it so your tones aren't.... tones.. but when you push them it will say the number instead. I would still go with using voice command though
according to some posts here it will work on the TP2
Well, I don't know what changed, but on my LG Incite I would press a number in the dialer and it would say it aloud with a nice female voice instead of a tone. It only did this for dialing since you need tones in-call to access things like voicemail or automated system prompts. IIRC, it was a choice in VC setup. I'm sure it was not a mod I made to the phone. Don't understand why M$ would take out such a needed feature for people like me with bad eyesight who prefer the voice confirmation of a dialed number. Tones are absolutely useless.
I posted a link to a thread regarding voice tone instead of the regular numeric tone you hear right above.... did you try that yet cause that seems to be what you are after? You didn't mention anything about it in your post so I wasn't sure but that's clearly what you're looking for.
Yeah, I looked at your links (thanks). Those are for an add-on program. This was a feature built-into Voice Command on WinMo 6.1 and can probably be enabled via a simple regedit since there is no longer a front end selection choice for it in VC.
not an add on program at all... you just download the "talkingkeys.cab" run it.. and it changes all the 'tones' of your numberic dial pad to voices saying the numbers...
takes all of 2 seconds to do.
Just tried it on me TP2 and it works fine very clear thanks Aaron
OK, I tried it. No joy. You have to hold the key for the duration of the sound file or it cuts off. This is not what I had with my Incite. All you had to do was press a button on the dialer and a nice, female voice would say the number. This was built into that version of VC on WinMo 6.1, it was not something I added on. I can't understand why M$ would have taken this out in 6.5 or why HTC/AT$T would have defeated it in the Tilt 2 ROM. Either way, it sucks.

It wasn't voice command or Microsoft that did that but something specific to that phone.... The dialer's for different phones are just that............. different!
Voice command is used for you giving commands to your phone or reading out appointments or incoming callers etc. It had nothing to do with the voice tone in your dial pad.
What you are saying is like asking my my Vogue didn't have a slide out keyboard, or a better resolution screen, or wifi. How unfair and stupid of HTC to not have put that in there. Again... you are comparing an LG phone here with an HTC phone.. different hardware, different OS's. different.... phones I'd be more disappointed about loosing the headphone jack then I would be about having a standard keypad tone wen switching from the Incite.
Can't really compare apples and oranges in this case I would say. If that cab I found you doesn't cut it I'm sorry but it's likely the best you're going to find. There might be some registry hacks you can do to make it so it will say the complete number just from a quick tap but I myself try and stay from dinking around with the registry. I would still say voice command trumps anything that a voice tone numeric pad would do... I either use the contact page in sense or just use voice command to dial a number I want. Seems to work just fine AND easier!
OK, if you're saying it was a function of the LG dialer, that makes more sense. It did use a completely different voice from VC.
I appreciate the link to the program you gave me. I'll probably end up using it. Would be nice if the instructions were clearer on how to install it and where to put the contents of the zip archive. Thanks again.
OK, I found a way to make this work, but with the pleasant woman's voice I wanted. Go to this site:
http://www2.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php
Try the sample voices until you find one you like. Then put in the numbers like this: one, two, three...etc. Don't forget star and pound. The commas are important as they give a pause between each number that will help when editing them into separate files. Click download and you will have a wav file with all the numbers spoken aloud. You can convert it to mp3 format or go to the next step. Open it up in a wav editor and chop each word individually and save it to your hard drive with the proper name. These sound so much better than the files included in the post about Talking Dialpad and you can get them in the language of your choice.
Here's the syntax I used. It gives you a 1 second gap between each number making it easier to edit. Copy and paste it into the box.
<Break time="1s"/> one<Break time="1s"/> two<Break time="1s"/> three<Break time="1s"/> four<Break time="1s"/> five<Break time="1s"/> six<Break time="1s"/> seven<Break time="1s"/> eight<Break time="1s"/> nine<Break time="1s"/> zero<Break time="1s"/> pound<Break time="1s"/> star
I used Crystal's voice. If someone wants to host it, I will zip the sound files and e-mail them to you.
