Hi all
Is it possible to paste a phone number from the clipboard into the DHD Sense dialler? Can't see any option for this.... so today, when someone sent me a phone number on an email, I had to memorise it and manually dial it, which is a bit daft for a phone of this stature...

I'm not sure if it's only me, or everyone.
I have a Rogers s621 running on the brightpoint rom. If you start typing a contacts name from the homescreen and it starts with a letter that's within the keypad (w,e,r,s,d,f,x,c,v); and the 2nd letter is a(#).
The shortcut asks you if you want to dial that entry number from your contacts.
FOR EXAMPLE
You want to call your friend Darryl. From the homescreen you punch in D(5), A(#). Your phone will then ask you if you want to call the 5th entry in your phonebook and you have to say NO before you can continue typing darryl's name.
Maybe it's only me I don't know.

My stock with a few apps loaded Rogers 6 rom does not have that behavior.
strange, i guess it's either a bug or one of the many 3rd party apps that's controlling it.
the HTC ROM doesn't have this shortcut.
It's so dumb.
I have the new HTC rom and it does this. It's very annoying.
solution !
when this happens, it means that you have field number 5 of your sim card filled with darel's phone number.
so by field number on the sim car you can dial :
"1#" for the first number
"2#" for the second number
"3#" for the third
"49#" for the 49th number......
....
what you have to do is to copy the sim directory to the phone then you erase the sim contact list.
the you'll be able to dial darel number easyly.
Last solution : learn the begining of darel phone number, start hiting the number, you'll find the name.
sorry for my english.

I never thought of that. Guess I'm gonna erase the sim. Thanks again.
You could also try not erasing the sim, but copying contacts to the phone, then disabling the sim phonebook in settings>phone>call options. This way the sim is still backed up with all your numbers if the problem is resolved without erasing.

Tried that before i posted this thread, didn't work.
Deleted the sim contacts and everything's good now.
The weirdest thing is that this shortcut isn't even documented anywhere in the original htc manuals.
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.

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!
help please there is probably an easy answer to this but i can't see it.
in my contacts lets say Mr A has mobile number 111111 and home number 222222
now if i ring him on mobile and get no answer what i have to do is go into view contact and choose an alternative number to call him on ie 222222.
now am pretty sure when i first got my desire if i choose to call Mr A i got an option box pop up asking my which number i'd like to dial.
does this sound familiar to anyone and if so how do i enable it?
also next problem again contact related
using Mr A above once his numbers are entered into his card the oprions to send messages are filled in for me i want to remove the field where it says sent message to home number in this case a land line number
any help appreciated
thanks
I can't really remember getting any of the pop-ups you mention. You have the option to set the primary number in the person card in People. Though it could be sometimes inconvenient, I don't think there is another way.
I find pretty inconvenient when I have unanswered call and want to reply, if that person has multiple numbers, you can't call number other than that you received the call from without entering the person card. It would be convenient if you could swype to change the number, you have arrows shown in the call list anyway.
How do you paste a copied number into the dialler?
Someone emailed me a phone number, so i copied it and tried to paste it into the dialler or tried to phone using this copied number but couldnt do it.
But the only way i could do it was to create a new contact, paste in the number then call the contact. Awful.
Does anyone have a better way to do this?

you dont, if the device recognises it as a phone number, you can just click on the number (like a hyperlink in a webpage) and it will copy it to the dialer
Did Copy and Paste not Work ?
It didnt as the HTC mail app isn't HTML so didn't recognise it as a number like a website.

Hello,
I been searching to figure out how to add a pause between phone number and conference ID/extension. I've tried adding a comma (,), "p", and period (.) without success. Tried by adding this to a contact's phone number - such as 555-555-1234pp123456# or 555-555-1234,,123456#, etc.
Does anyone know of a solution? Is this a limitation in Windows Phone in general or is this OEM specific?
Thanks for your help.
Add the contact using Windows Live, Outlook, or however else you can add commas and still have it sync, then it works.
ie:
mobile phone
(800) 555-8355 ,2548
Add more commas if needed.

Before you do this, read the Last Paragraph.
1. Go into your settings and then Phone Settings and write down your Voicemail number. Be sure to copy it exactly, including spaces.
2. Open Office on your phone and start a new Word Document. Type your Voicemail number exactly as you saw it.
3. Add a p after the number and then type your password. Now, highlight and copy this new number.
4. Go back to your phone settings and paste this new number including the p and password.
5. Back out and see if that worked. If you have any trouble, put the old number back into phone settings.
I'll change numbers so you don't have mine, but here's an example:
+1 (415) 497-1234p1234
This works on ATT. We also have an option to bypass password completely within the Voicemail settings menu after calling voicemail. On ATT it's option 2, then passwords, then turn off password.
Hey what i did was just type the number in a text editor and pasted to contact detail.. it worked
