where's my dialer ?! - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I don't have a dialer on my TP2 ! is that possible ?
also - no call-in-progress screen, only the white slide-to-answer screen when a call comes in, but when I answer the call the screen goes back to the last app. I used.
any solutions ?

When you go to the "Home" screen in touch-flo, there is a little "Phone" text on left-hand side, and "Camera" text on right-hand side. If you press on phone with stylus/finger, you will get a dialer there ...

This appears to be the 2nd thread started by you on the same question.

Plus it looks like from your previous posts in this forum that you've messed up your device pretty bad. Your zoom bar doesn't work and now you've messed up the phone app.
Here's my advice: don't start duplicate threads like this. Start your thread if you've really exhausted other options (ie, search, etc). If no one responds to your thread, just post in it to bump it to the top again.
Also, regarding your device, stop installing stuff if you're not aware of all its features and if you're not comfortable doing troubleshooting. Like people in your other thread regarding the zoom bar said, just do a hard reset.

you're right, sorry.
BTW- give me some credit - i tried the "phone" button & "phone" option in Settings>personal>phone. still doesn't work.

WM6.1 official rom upgrade - call history / call log filter bug in today screen

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.

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?

Trying to make titanium links do what *I* think they should...

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.

Weird "another" call screen?

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....

Problem when texting (jumps to top of conversation time after time)

Hello people,
I have a problem when texting with my desire and it's this annoying i think of selling it if no-one has a solution for this.
The problem is when typing a textmessage to someone. When i have like a bigger conversation (in the way that you have to scroll up to see the first textmessage of the conversation) and i'm busy typing the message, the phone would suddenly jump up to the very top of the conversation. The keyboard dissappears and i have to manually scroll down the whole conversation again to be back at the screen where i was writing the message in to continue typing.
It's very annoying and sometime's it happens like 3 times typing one textmessage.
If the conversation is rather big (take 200 textmessages) i'm more busy scrolling than typing. Quite silly for a highend phone.
I flashed, flashed, flashed, full wiped everything over again and the problem just doesn't disappear.
Someone noticed this too?
I also suffer from this annoying issue from time to time. It would be great if somebody could help us!

Since Froyo/Android 2.2;
Sometimes when writing SMS, the typing window can disappear and the display zooms all the way up to the very first message to that contact.
You could scroll back down endlessly of course, but instead just turn the phone to change the screen orientation and you'll get straight back to the text entry window.
SOMEtimes even that doesn't work, in which case menu/add subject. That'll get you back to the text entry window for sure. (Obviously don't actually enter a subject or it'll change the message to an MMS)

Also you can just hold down the Menu button and it will open the keyboard and go back to the bottom of the messages

[Q] Call screen HTC Desire 2.2

Hi guys,
(Not sure if this post is in the right place, sorry if it's not )
Ok, since yesterday when I make a call, the call screen has changed. I have not (knowingly) changed any settings.
Normally I get the droid icon with mute & speaker option with the keyboard & contacts option below. I can also see the name of the contact but now, the 'Add call' & 'Hold' buttons (which don't respond), cover the name of the contact.
Now I cannot call up the keyboard, I have 'Add call', 'Hold', 'Mute' & 'Speaker', below in a bar 'Arrow left', 'People', 'Keyboard' & 'End call'.
When I select the keyboard, it doesnt appear, just the '|←' symbo which slides up above the bar containg the 'Keyboard' option...when I press it nothing happens.
The bar containg 'Arrow left', 'People', 'Keyboard' & 'End call' partiall cover the 'Mute' & 'Speaker' options!
This is very frustrating as I cannot call the gas company, phone compane etc etc as they all have menus which require touchtone!
Please help!
Thanks in advance
See if taking out the battery for about 5 seconds will fix it.
Thanks, that sorted the issue out.
Any ideas as to how it occurred?
Well it seems that it is some kind of bug in the software.
You are not the first to post such a problem, but the good thing is that it can be easily solved and not occuring frequently.
Ok, thats good to know.
Thanks for the reply & solution
