WM6 Dialer Names+Numbers

Hi All,
Is there any way that i can get the names and the numbers to display as i hit the keys in the dialer?[Currently only the names are shown]
The earlier Jasjam rom there was an option to have the names and numbers to show up as you type.
Many thanks for you help with this,
G
My current version: 2007-05-07 RUU_Hermes_WWE_3.30.0.9 [LVSW Edition]

normaly is should show you the neames and below one number for the contact you want... when you scroll to your contact... with left / right pad you can scroll through the numbers for that contact...

Nope, Its only showing me the names but no numbers
Is there any option that i need to change to get this working?

Sounds like you need to reinstall the HTC smart dialer. Check the wiki under the cabs section (and elsewhere). Maybe that will fix what ails you.

WM6 Dialer Names+Numbers - Settings for Black.
This one has buggged me for a while also, however it's easy to fix.
Simply use "Pimp my Black" and enable the 3G Video Dialer. Click bling, soft rest and you now have the older smart dialer which shows names and #'s. It also allows you to use the scroll wheel to quickly access history and speed-dial.

I'm also running LVSW's ROM - ever since I installed the HTC Smart dialer 2.2 on the wiki cab page I can't find the option to enable the names/numbers on the main screen at all. It's just a blank space with the numpad.

Smart search on TP2, and custom tabs in TF3D

Is there a smart search option on this phone?
I just think there is a potential to do a lot more with the keyboard. Some sort of smart search (ala Palm Pre) would be great. From standby, just slide out the keyboard and start typing and list out the possibilities. Maybe start typing a name and any matches start popping up with options to directly call, text or email. Or a URL to go directly to a website, or save in notes (sometimes you see a website address you wanna check out later). Of course, there would be google/wikipedia search options too.
There should also be shortcuts with the keyboard too. Anyway to link certain keys (or combos) to launch apps (e.g. straight into SMS mode) or certain settings (e.g. bluetooth on/off)?
Another idea I think could be useful is integrating a facebook or twitter tab into TouchFlo3D directly. Is this possible?

[Q] Dial to extention number

Hello,
I was using RCMix V3.0 A2SD+ which has HTC sense.
I can use this number +886222222222pp357 so it will dial number +886222222222.
And after it connects, it will have 2 pause and then automatically dial extion 357.
Now I'm trying Oxygen V2.0.1.
I cannot find how to type "pp."
I searched on internet and some articles said that ",," is working but I couldn't find how to type ",,".
Could anyone teach me this?
Thank you.

Hi,
This is my first post, so easy on me...
Did you try the Dialer One app? It's on the Android Market. That might solve your problem.
Or
p pause 2 second delay put in comma in place of p ","
w wait for input from user ";"
I don't know what your keyboard looks like, so I don't know how to tell you to enter a comma...

Thank you.
I tried ",," to replace "pp". It really works.
However, I couldn't find how to type ",," in dialer one.
I can only add ",," from Google Contacts.
Could you teach me how to input it in Dialer one?

how to enter comma
I'm using CM7 (Gingerbread).
Note: When in contacts, this is how you would create a new contact or edit an existing contact. When in a dialer app, this is how you would call somebody on the phone, as in dial. Sorry I see that Dialer One is not required to enter a comma. However, it's a nice dialer app instead of the stock android one.
For me in contacts to get a comma I press the symbol key, which is the lower left key, and then a symbol keyboard comes up.
In stock dialer I press the hard menu button.
In dialer one, same, I press the hard menu button.
I'm going to try attach some screen shots.

Thank you cpoxda.
This really solve me issue.
Really appreciate!

[Q] Is there a keyboard that also has a quick text option?

Hello everyone, quick question. Does anyone know of a keyboard for the Evo that has a built custom text option. And by this, I mean something like a list that I quickly pull up to enter into a text field anywhere in the phone (sms, internet browser, etc). I had a windows phone prior to the Evo and they had few KB that I was able to make a custom list of common words, usernames, etc that was easily accessible. Any help is greatly appreciated

Keyboards, I don't know, but I know that handcent lets you input and select quick messages for texts; you can use the preset or create your own.

Thanks for the response. Is this a feature that is only good for adding into sms or will it work in other parts of the phone (like the internet browser)? If it is the latter i might check it out. THanks

The new Swype has T9 style word selection

[Q] which is the Fastes ROM for calling John Doe?

Hello to everybody.
I'm trying to find out which is the fastest ROM ICS based for doing the following, where fastest means less number of touch on the screen or number of seconds before getting the desired result:
Call John Doe, when you have in the agenda also John Dui, John Ash, John Bone, John Cut and may be some other John as well as some more Doe (Albert, Stefan, Nat).
And then the same for opening the screen into input mode for sending him an SMS.
I used to have also Blackberry (oh yes, nice email reader but not very nice phone/smartphone), but with it, in every point of the user i/f calling John Doe would mean:
press the red button, press J, press space, press D.
I sow different behavior depending ont the ROM on the phone, but before trying all of them, if anyone can post his result it would be very appreciated.
thanks
Luca

Mate, you talking about speed dial or something?
As far as I'm aware there is no speed dial in the stock ICS or Sony dialers. Most if not all custom roms for ARC either use the Sony stock dialer or ICS stock dialer.
There are a few ways however that you can overcome this:
* On the dialer you can select "contacts", long press on someones name and select "add to favorites". Do this for every one you need. Then on the bottom right of the dialer, select "groups" then "star" on the top right. There will be a screen with all the people which you have added to "favorites". When you touch them you have the option of calling or SMS'ing them.
* You can also go to the Google Play Store and search for "speed dial" and download an app to set your friends on the speed dial list or speed dial widget if you want them on your screen. You can then call or SMS. Widgets are probably faster as you can have all people on the screen without opening dialer
* Probably not when your looking for but typing the first few letters of the name of the person on the dialer will bring up their name. You can touch once to call or press and hold the name for the option to send sms.
P.S You seem to have a lot of friends named John

The new ICS has a feature where you can start typing s name and it will narrow it down for you. Or just add them to favorites

@adielee
not speed dial, just a faster and intuitive dialler.
@irononreverse
something like this. May be the right question would be: which is the most intuitive and fast dialler, and feature rich?
I mean, press home button, touch receiver icon, then touch 5 (jkl), touch space, touch 3 (def)
I'm using today boosthd rom, and in the dialpad is not possible to touch "space" (may be I was not able to find the method)
Also in this rom, it is possible to order t9 selection based on name first or number first (by means of the option screen). But it is not possible to show ONLY name or ONLY numbers. This means that the list by touching 2-3 digits is really long.
anyone else have other ideas/solutions/suggestion?
thanks
Luca

I've been using Google Search app/widget for quick contact access on stock ROM, what I do is I limit searchable items in it's settings to just contacts, and when you start typing, it will act just like quick contacts search.
And you can always use voice search command, launch Voice Search and say "Call John Doe"
