my call history has a !, and it won't go away. i don't want to clear it because i still need to reference to old calls. what can i do to get rid of the ! Call history..it's confusing because i would think there's a miscall or something, but really not.
You can't make it go away; it's the icon used for Call History on the Home Screen. If you really do have missed calls, the text will read "x Missed Calls", instead of "Call History".
thanks for the info.

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?
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.
Does anyone know how to keep the missed call notification from popping up when I ignore a call? I figure that if I ignore the call, i am not really missing it!
Thanks
Settings>Sounds & Notification>Notifications>Phone: Missed Call
maybe that might stop it? I disabled it showing a message on screen but don't remember if it still pops up.
*edit* just checked & it doesn't show a popup, but it will show that you have a missed call on the home screen & in the taskbar
Using CM6 and I have a annoying issue. I don't know if this was intended as a feature or maybe just an issue on my part. I'd like to be able to go into call log, tap on a missed call/contact, and have it automatically call.
If I want to call my gf I have to long press her name and select call. Is there a way to enable this. I check through the call log preferences and didn't see anything.
Basically need to tap on a contact in my call log and automatically call them. I DON'T want to have to long press.
Judging on it's behavior it looks like it was intended this way.
I think it threads calls by day, and if there were multiple calls in that day you click on you're going to expand the thread.
Otherwise clicking on the call then I get the option to call in the next screen... so 2 maybe 3 clicks at most.
I don't think it is an issue, but the design. I could understand you just want to click to call but it gives you multiple options when clicking on the missed call.

Or you could just open the Phone app, Press Menu >> Preferences, scroll down to Call Log, and click "Show Dial Button".
Nahh... you're right, it's intended that you should be forced to long-press.
Yeah I always redial from my call log so its annoying. Thanks that worked I saw that option but didn't know what it meant. This works perfect.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
If you press the arrow on the right side of the call log, it will call that person.
Guys,
I want to ask a question... with the screen on, when I get a phone call, I can push the menu button to send a text message with a standard text like "I'm busy right now, I call you later"...
- is there a way that I can change this text?
When my screen is off, and the sense 3 lockscreen kicks in when I receive a phonecall, I only got two options, answer or decline... Is there a way to get the menu button to work for me with the text message as mentioned above? This would especially come in handy, because I usually get phonecalls with the screen off...
any ideas, tips, tricks etc?
many thanks in advance
to change the default text menu>settings>call>phone settings>edit default message.
your right about no menu if incoming call when screen off! fix needed
