It is a qwerty keypad, and when I'm texting and click on a certain letter that also functions as a number for dialing, it comes up like when you just have a regular phone with 9 numbers and 3-4 letters per number. For instance, if I punched "e" (which also functions as 2) then I could either choose a, b, or c. Also my alt key isn't working. I have no idea what's wrong with it...
Pretty much my phone thinks I have i9 texting when I push a dual key that has a number and a letter.

Here is my problem: let’s say that I want to save a new number to an existing Contact. And let’s assume that that new number is in my Call History (i.e., the usual give me a missed call so that I have your new number thing that we all do). Now, if I select the number from my Call History, right click on “Save to Contacts”, the keyboard does not seem to work properly. Other than the keys that have numbers on them (i.e., the keypad letters), the remaining keys do not seem to respond to enable me to find the existing contact. I have to scroll through my contacts to find that person, which is a pain.
For example, let’s say that the contact’s name begins with the letter H. I won’t be able to find her by pressing the “H” key because there would not be any response. However, when I press the letters “W, E, R, S, D, F, X, C, V, Z, or A, I am able to select contacts with such letters appearing in their name. The rest of the keys do not work.
Any tips on where to go in the registry to get this fixed?
I have this problem.
I have a contact. He has two mobile numbers. I add both numbers to this contact.
I cannot seem to be able to send a message to the secondary number . It just will not show up when I type the "Name" in the to: field when writing a new SMS.
It only displays numbers marked as "Mobile"
The secondary one is marked as "Home"
I have options for: home, company, work, car.. etc, none of them work.
I cannot send a message even from the contacts screen..,,
How do I resolve this???
I just checked. It totally works fine. Send a new sms. put your cursor where you would type the name and press enter. you get the contact list. select contact and number voila.
next time, it is already in your messages.
yes, saved my day, just checked myself, never thought of pressing enter with the "to:" field empty.
still it should have had an option for setting a secondary mobile.... maybe some registry hacking????
I also noticed this barf today. If you type in the beginning of a person's name to the "TO:" field, it autofills it nicely, but automatically assumes the "Mobile Phone" number field will be used and there's NO way to change it.
The alternative way (press ENTER in the empty TO:-field) works, but again is an extra step too far.
The Windows UI guys really need to get their act together (maybe a bit those TF3D guys too). I'd expect this from a designer temp for his summer job, but not in a mass-market v.6 release in 2009!
I always have this problem,
Pressing ENTER works fine I see. I usually started up a new SMS, then went to "Menu > Add Recipient" and then the contact list is openend too ...
I have the same problem with two persons with alike names:
For example:
Tom Vaan
and
Tom Vaander
In the To: field I type Tom and only get the "Tom Vaan", no way to change it to "Tom Vaander"

You can also tap on the "TO:" text.
Here are 4 HTC touch pro 2 bugs that I am aware of.
The first one, HTC is aware of and working on a fix(for the last 4 months)
1. Announce incoming calls does not work. (settings, all settings, voice command,phone,options)
2. If you send one text to 2 people, the sent text only shows up in one of the 2 person's thread in the touch flo 3d.(it still shows up in both people thread's in windows mobile thread, go to text messages, all messages, select thread)
3. The phone wakes up to show new text messages, leaving it open to make unwanted calls(if its in your purse or pocket)
4. When adding a new contact phone number doesn't always automatically add parenthesis, spaces, and dashes so a number in your contacts list will look like 3236155555 instead of instead of (323) 615-5555. If you add the number from your call history the parenthesis, dashes, spaces will be added correctly.
anyone know of any edits or hacks to fix any of these(and that are confirmed to work on the touch pro 2)
I don't know about the first 2 but for the third one, it doesn't happen to me. I changed the settings in such a way that the phone doesn't show a message so it doesn't wake up (Look up the seetings in the sound section), and even if it does i use the auto lock which means its gonna be locked and in 1 minute the screen goes off so its OK.
It might be an idea to mention which version of the touch pro 2 you have, and which ROM you're using.

Im using original touchflo3d rom that came with the phone on Sprint.
ROM:1.21.651.3
I tried the fix mentioned above about Not displaying new messages on the screen, but my phone still wakes up, now it just doesn't display the message.
I do not have my phone locked.
Of courise if the phone is locked it will not place calls, show new texts, or open programs without the unlock code. But typing a 4 digit code before calling someone, checking the time, or seeing a text is annoying. They dont allow 1 digit lock codes, or even 4 0's, or numbers in sequence.
I'm sure the lock would be useful for many people, but for me it's too much.
Can I also add a 4rth bug.
when adding numbers to your contacts the phone doesn't always automatically add parenthesis, spaces, and dashes.
So a number in your contacts list will look like
3236155555
instead of
(323) 615-5555
not a big deal(you can add the parenthesis and dashes and spaces manually) but still annoying.
if you add the number from your history it will do it right, but if you create a new contact and enter the number it will show it as a series of numbers with no spaces,parenthesis, or dashes.
Had this problem with my hero as well.
How do you take a number down if you are on a call?
ie if on a call asking for a number from the other person how do you write it down and use it for next call?
On nokias, the number you input stays after you hang up, so you can call, save etc.. But on Android, when you hang up the number you input disappears too!
AM i missing a way to do it (short of saving it to contacts (which i might not want to do), or dialling and hanging up)?
you can tap the number you enter which will dial the number you entered followed by immediately ending the call which will store it in your call history and return you to the original call all in about 2 secs. Not exactly elegant but works.
thats pretty much what i do, but its so silly to do it that way I thought ther MUST be a better way. I mean its not exactly a rare or unusual feature to need, is it? ;-)
I normally use a pen......Have done for a while now and it never fails
This applies to the stock dialer - don't know if it works like this on Sense.
Press Add Call, enter the digits. Now long-press the entered number. Select cut or copy. Then back button to cancel Add Call. After the call is over you can paste it back into the dialer the same way or into a contact.
Just tried, didnt work, no long press, any press just dials the number...
Now you've reminded me of another question:
The software usuuuaaaallly recognises number formats in emails or texts, and hyperlinks them to the dialer. HOWEVER Ive never been able to PASTE a number (copied from somehwere that the software didnt recognise as a number) into the sense dialer. Anyone can confirm this is not possible?
I'm unable to paste too on FroYo.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
Ah, well it was worth a shot. I haven't spent more than a few minutes on a Sense phone so I'm not so well-acquainted with how the dialer works. I can confirm that the stock dialer of both Milestone's Eclair and N1's Froyo has an editable text field, in which one can long-press to get the "Edit Text" popup.
Can a Sense Android use an alternate dialer app?
there are thousands of notes apps thats what there for lol i think even htc has a notes widget for sence (i cant remember) neway yeah use your apps
There is an app which specifically does what you want. It's called Number Saver and it shows up in the notification bar whenever you make a call.
cool, will check it out!
Always weird that someone has to come up with an app for some function that should have been there to begin with, oh well!
Hi All,
I am a big fan of the auto complete feature of the numerical pad on my M9.
For those that are not familiar with the feature you simply start pressing the key pad numbers that correspond with a contacts name.
Each character has letters associated with it, e.g.: 2 - ABC, 3 - DEF, etc; so if I want to call 'Adam' I start by typing 232...
The only pain point with this excellent feature is if I accidentally press on the CALL button, rather than the contact details then the literal number that I have typed will be called, i.e.: in the case of the 'Adam' example above the number 232 will be called.
This fact unto itself is not a game changer, however every time that I accidentally click on CALL, and a literal number is called it makes it harder to bring a contact up. So once again using the 'Adam' example; when I type 232 - instead of seeing contact details for Adam I instead see 232! The only way around this is to type the fourth character for the contact, e.g.: instead of 232 I now need to type 2326.
And of course if I accidentally click on CALL when 2326 is entered then it is even harder again to bring up my 'Adam' contact; I then have to start typing a surname as well as a given name!!!
This has made it impossible to use the handy feature on some of my contacts. I have tried deleting the cache for the 'Phone' app in the hope of clearing the call history / memory, but this didn't work.
Is there any way to completely erase the key pads history?
Any help would be fantastic.
Kind Regards,
Davo
There's a tab called "call history" in the dialer app (unless you disabled it). There you can tap onto the three dot menu and choose "delete call history". The phone lets you chose which entries you want to delete, then.
Flippy498,
Your a CHAMPION!! Thanks so much
Kind Regards,
