I have times and again faced issues with the current dialpad with TP2 and have mistakenly dialed wrong nos, because the digits are so close to each other that while driving or walking, its easy to hit a wrong digit. Does somebody have a suggestion on a dialpad for TP2 that has large sized digits, may be even something like Iphone?
Thanks.
I've always wondered why they didn't make the dial pad larger myself.
Try iDialer.
and remember, don't drive and talk!
Thanks for your replies. I will check out the idialer. Hopefully i can install it on my storage card so that if i dont like it, i can easily uninstall it.
Yea, I really don't know why Microsoft didn't throw in a new dialer with 6.5.
Who knows, they seem to slowly be upgrading the main WM apps in 6.5.X so maybe (hopefully) we will see a new finger friendly dialer in one of the builds...

I have been using Slide2Unlock on my WM6 Hermes now for a while and have really gotten to like it, so much that I want the iPhone look and feel on my PPC.
I have seen a few around but then seem parts of the full package. Is there one particular one that seems the best all rounder?
I came across this one but haven't tried it yet:-

I would like a version that has the iPhone dialler but needs to have the smart dialler functionality so that names come up when I type numbers etc..
I would also like to continue to use Slide2Unlock
Also, I would like the icons on the today screen etc...
Can you please point me in the direction of a good version.
Many Thanks

Hi!
I successfully upgraded my P3300 NOR to WM6 WWE, but there is some new "features" in WM6 that I don't appreciate that much:
1) In the message application the left soft button is changed from new to delete. This I find rather irritating because the majority of times I want to compose a new message, not delete one (I almost never deletes messages). I know there has been some discussion concerning this issues over in the hermes forum.
2) When writing a new text message (or e-mail for that sake) and you start typing in the to field, WM5 displayed a list of matches from your contacts that you could pick from, and the field populated itself with the right information. This is not happening on my device after upgrading, is it a setting that controls this behavior or do we have to hack something to accomplish this?
Any suggestions on how to solve these issues?

PK
I know what you mean with the Delete in messages, its a right pain!
With regards to the contacts, mine kind of works, I use transcriber and if you write say A it comes up with the A's or some of them at the bottom of the screen.
If you click one it just inserts it after what you put, so for example you'd get To: A; Amy(m);
Which seems to kind of be a waste of time as you then have to go and delete the A bit?

Hi!
Thanks for reply! In WM5 (at least on my device) the item you picket from the list replaced what you already had wrote, so there the functionality made sense. If this is not true on WM6 then it's absolutely wast, as you pointed out.

PK
On my device the thing with the contacts work just like in WM5... It does not work if i your Phonepad, but with the normal keyboard, a smal rectangualr pops up with the Result matching my already typed letters, i then can pick a contact and the device replaces my input with the number...
And the Thing with "Delete" instead of "New" is really a senseless change, although im usign the WM5 New Menu in my Today screen, where i can assign a Softbutton with "New..." and then creat a SMS, email, Task or Note, whatever you desire, so i never really go through the messaging -> new menu...
Hello.
Is there any way to obtain the TouchFLO usability from the new HTC Touch, into Universal? I don't think there are any hardware changes as to how the screen handles finger moves and clicks.
Maybe any plans on a new WM6 Rom for Universal that might support it?
If yes, would it be the whole Touch interface, including dark gray apearance, etc?
Thanks people.
EDIT: Just read about the first TouchFlo Rom (Ivan i Think), but there is lack of feedback as for the usability of the Touch feature, or the dark grey today theme/caller apearance... Any help?
there are hardware changes
Yep, the hardware of HTC touch is different which enables it to do some 'gestures' on the screen. So, all we can 'taste' is the today plugin which it uses
Thank you both for your responses. Midlet, I have user your ROMs before.
However, I don't understand what the changed might be, since "drag n' drop" finger actions are possible in Universal or any other PPC (for example, using the finger to move an icon in some other place, on "Spb Pocket Plus Today Plugin"...
Any specific info on Why "HTC Touch" is different (apart from the LCD protective material which -just a guess- may be a little more matte, in order for the finger to easily move on it) on this device?
Still, I can't figure out why a finger gesture needs extra/changed hardware. I would understand it if it accepted more than one touches at the same time, but this?...
Thanks...
hi were can i download the cab file for the today pluggin screen like from touch?
you might try this http://www.mobiletopsoft.com/board/2...pocket-pc.html but you need to have WM6 installed. You are not alone others want this interface as well. I have the same question in the Universa general forum
when i click the link it wont forward me. wats the search name of the pluggin? thanks
I think you can get an answer here:

Does anyone Know a Index Dial by letters that can be used with fingers to make phone calls?
Not sure exactly what you mean. I always use the number keypad to dial with my fingers using predictive text style (so dialling 5,3,3 will bring up Lee, then I use the direction pad to choose mobile or home using left/right).
If this isn't what you're after could you please elaborate a little and maybe I (or more likely someone else) will be able to point you in the right direction?
Ok let see if I make myself clear.
I came to HTC from an ETEN pda. The ETEN has a function called Index Dial, in this Index Dial, appears all the Letters fro A to Z so that you can easily find the person you are looking for.

It´s so much easir to make a phonecall with just one hand.
Do you know something like this for the TyTN?
Good timing. An application like that just surfaced on the new ROMs. Schaps baked it into his new ROM and someone ripped it from that. Here's the thread:

Seems the TP2 (stock roms, touch flo enabled) uses some new contact manager app?
So is there a way to make manila use the gold old WM6 contacts instead of the one it uses by default?
Please, Im not the only person looking for this.
I have been looking in HKLM-software-htc-manila and cant find anything yet. but there surely is a way to point the manila to the older type contacts app?
thanks
PS this is for us people who use this more business setting I guess. (or are old like me and dont like change?) Anyway, I have contacts grouped by Company, which is handy as hell & I dont need facebook. Please help us.
My solution would be that you start to make a call, hit green call button, hit the "contacts" soft button or whatever at the bottom, which would open the older type contacts, just like you had clicked on Start-All programs-contacts.
Thanks in Advance for any help or hints...
I have a real problem with the contact manager that this phone offers, i had to remap the button to bring the up other version , but still sucks for business use..so i loaded Pocket informant which helps but with out aD pad it is not as easy to use...got to find a solution for this, love the phone but one handed usage is very important and may drive me back to my old Tilt
