Excerpt from a PM sent to FCW from me....
One quick question though... Why is it on EVERY SINGLE titanium rom does touching "phone" on the titanium list show the last missed call, but then you'd think touching it again would show you those calls, but instead it shows you the dang dialer?
That just doesn't make sense. You'd think it would do like what the right soft key does (view).
Yes, it says "phone" on the titanium screen, but I can press the green button to bring up the dialer which is way easier to do, (and gets MUCH less use than the previous calls log ((dialing is kinda touchy))). Instead of saying "phone" in titanium, it should say "Call List" and offer what the view button does. I don't know how many times a day I peck the phone button on titanium then have to fumble for the right soft key to get to the recent calls log.
I think if you were to implement this feature, the WHOLE developer community would follow suit.
BTW all, I've tried editing the Titanium_240x320.cpr whatever files. I can change the link names, but not what they do.
Any ideas?
Nonsense...
Touch it to bring up the phone and call the first contact wit a lil red arrow saying HEY this contact calls you and you didnt answer call it back!!!!
or Just--- HEY a missed cal you say, i dont wnat to call right now so i just gonna tap in the softkey view and then close the missed calls screen....
If that is the meaning of change the tap app... just remove the buttons on your hermes.
Can anyone tell me if they have encountered this problem. Deleting a call in the call history, you select the caller icon on the right hand side of the screen, and you select delete, then delete all calls from this contact. Then for some reasons the touch flo resets and it brings you back to a home screen. I have done a hard reset and downloaded the latest rom, but it has made no difference. Problem does not happen all the time, but it is annoying. can anyone help?
it seem every one of us have his own annoying problem
i didnt have this problem of urs
but i have another one .. some times in the history it have the number under unknown called while when i received it it was under the right name
also i dont like that there is no colour differentiation between mis calls and incoming and outgoing for fast recognition by the 1st glims
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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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:

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.
Standard (edit: standard HTC desire) Froyo, answered a call while browsing the market, and suddenly had a very strange call screen.
It had 4 buttons (add call, pause call, in addition to normal mute and speaker) instead of the normal 2, and the lower bar a smaller end call button plus some extra ones!
Its back to normal after a restart...
Whats going on?

Thank you!
But those are not the sense screens (they are standard android) and not what I saw. Appreciate your help, must be difficult to imagine what I am trying to say just from a description. WIsh i had taken a foto....
PS have edited my original post to reflect its HTC froyo; my mistake!
was it like in this thread but obviously not skewed to one side
no link in your message....
lol http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=7600397#post7600397
doh
THATS THE ONE!
But mine had the contact card, and the "numbers" button on the bottom row (Since i was on a call) and a little end call button!
so strange......
BUT thanks for solving the mystery somewhat, at least I know im not going mad!
I dont get them buttons on mine but can get buttons that do the same thing by pressing menu during the call. Maybe there is some sort of shortcut to enable them? I would be interested to know if there is as well.
Its probably a hidden screen in the system that was never used, but somehow gets called up.
THis is how it happened to me, so try it, maybe its a reproducible bug. Browse the market, and get someone to call you, then answer....
Hey people, I’ve been running into some problems with the dialer for some time now, so I thought I’d post here to see if anyone has a solution. Basically the scrolling in the default dialer is very very slow and choppy, which is irritating and sometimes causes me to ring someone by accident, etc.
I was wondering whether there is a way to speed this up? (Probably a very silly question!)
Alternatively I’m looking for a way to only display the recent calls from Call History as opposed to all the Call History as well as all my Phone Contacts? This seems to generate a very long list which probably has a big effect on the way it scrolls so it would be nice if there was a way to reduce the size of this list by JUST including recent calls.
I realize you can click on “Menu” and change the view to “All Calls” or “Speed Dial,” but this seems to default back to “Calls and Contacts” whenever the phone is reset, and even if it didn’t, it’s still not really what I’m looking to do.
I also don’t want to delete my Call History or reduce the size, as it’s important I keep a long Call History to refer back if I need to via the Call History Tab, but I only need the RECENT calls to appear in the dialer.
So in a nutshell, is it possible to ONLY display the RECENT Call History in the dialer and no Contacts?
Any help would be greatly appreciated and hopefully this will help others speed up the scrolling too. (If only the default dialer behaved like Resco Contact Manager!)
Sorry to bump this thread... But does no one else experience this choppy scrolling in the dialler?
