HTC home "Favorite People" - names are cut to a few letters only. Any fix possible?
Does anyone know if there is a way to modify some registry or *.ini settings to display at least some more letters from a last name so the contact can be recognized?
The problem is that when you assign names from contacts list to Favorite People tabs, the font is so small and room is so little that it displays only a few first letters of a name so you can't figure out whose number is there in case you have same last name for a few persons in your contacts. Try it, and you see what I mean. Here is a screenshot from my Favorite people list. As you can see, two different contacts named "Katia Cell" and "Katia Work" are displayed only with words "Katia..." So it's impossible to figure out which contact is which.
My personal opinion is that it's needed to reduce number of people down to six (from ten) so there will be more room to display letters. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.
Hello,
If you put the two phone numbers on the same contact, there will be a small icon in the upper left corner to differentiate cell phone and land line number.
This Favorite People option is to use with the contact who has contact's picture. I am using it with picture contact and its fine. For mobile, home or work an icon appear with the picture if you have the same contact with all the different information.
I got it. Works good with a picture contact. Thanks.
Multi Slider Incoming Call Screen (MSICS for short)
MSICS comes with three sliders instead of one.
The bottom slider is the usual one. No need to elaborate on that one.
The middle slider is the one I have been missing, is allows you to answer with the speaker on in one slide. (Instead of three actions in the original dialer: slide to answer slide down that black thing and pressing on the speaker icon.)
The top slider is the real interesting one it allows you to ignore the incoming call and send the caller a SMS massage with a predefined text (slide right).
Slide left on the top slider to send your location (as Google Maps link) to the caller.
This option is a very convenient way to reply to calls that usually say: "you're late! Where are you?".
MSICS is an idea for an incoming call screen. I need someone to create it.
The picture was made with Photoshop, this is not real (YET!)
If you want to help making MSICS real, please contact me.
Gr8 idea!!!
This would be very useful! Simple and brilliant idea!
The "preview" is fine too..
I wish I would be such kind of application developer that I could implement this through coding (not through PS )
Summa summarum, you've got +1 vote from me...
Hope that somebody with enough coding/HD2/Sense experience would take care about this project.

thanks Szior, looks like your the only one liking this one...
I liked too, but I think that, only the ones that can help making this should answer, otherwise you'll receive dozens of replys saying "I would love to have this...", " I need this...", " I want this..." and in the end you'll get no positive answer.
Let's wait that someone can make this.
Ciao.

I can't find where inesoft phone does some of this. Can you point us in the right direction with a link showing it.
overkill
Seems like overkill. Mute is already an easy option with the volume buttons, speaker is only 1 tap after answering, S2U2 offers an sms option which is just 1 tap after ignoring.
I do like the map option. I would suggest hopping over to S2U2 and suggesting it to AC. The S2U2 option pops up the choice of sending an sms or not after you slide to ignore and I would think it could easily be changed from 2 buttons to 3 buttons adding a send map button in addition to the send sms and cancel buttons.
The question is how hard is it to incorporate finding your gps location, mapping it and sending that map when you do hit that new button. I'm sure it can be done, but how much work will it be and is anyone willing to do it. Adding it to an existing similar app already in use rather than yet another new app eating up more memory makes more sense to me. Just my opinion.
One person thinks of an idea... shares it...and another idea is born.
What about a 4 way slider in the shape of a cross instead? Each direction could have a separate action associated with it:
Push UP: Answer call and start speaker phone
Push LEFT: Answer call in phone
Push RIGHT: Reject call
PUSH DOWN: Reject call and send SMS message.
gr8 idea
its look like gr8 idea, so hope someone clever will make it
ya this looks awesome. will be awaiting this mod
Up
Please UP....up
Great idea. I'm in !
For a while, when reading, I was hoping it was indeed real.
I have no skills to implement on the WM side, yet I think the top slider is on you'd want to potentially disable/make harder to activate, if you do slide on the wrong one among the lower two everything is alright anyway, if you slide by mistake on the top one it could have bad effects

It's going to be very handy if you manage to develop it man
i would love that, too.
it would be better if it were real~~~~

u guys are making me lazy now.... ha ha
nice idea bro! keep it up
Hi Guys.
I have a sugession and request as well. There is something very important missing in Manila Dialer screen.
When call comes, in Tytn II, it shows Caller Name, Number, His Company name and Designation (if stored with name). But in manila, this is missing.
I request you, if it is possible to make something in that way. I have several contacts with the same name from different companies and when a call cames I never know what person is really calling. It would be great if we can have a dialer screen with Picture, Name, Company name and number.
I have searched and searched and I could not find what I need.
Thanks & Best Regards
Any ideia how to change the dialer? I think I can only change colors and fonts on the dialer.
Any possibility to change the fields that are displayed and add the company name too?
Hi,
Is there a way to chage the list of Contact List. I mean i have a large contact list. I add company name, job or title to my contacts. But when someone call me on the screen, it shows only name and surname by default. (Normally). But i have a lot of X Y on my list. I couldn't figure out until i answered the call. And i dont want to add company name or title to the name, surname fields.
Is there a simple way to change this like X(Name) + Y(Surname) + Z(Company) like a string concat or something.
I dont want to use 3rd party application but if you have something on your mind. Feel free to answer here.
Thanks.

Sense 5 is epic, i love everything about it, except for one thing: Smart Dial.
It can't display multiple contacts at once like it used to,
requiring me to type one's name fully using the keypad before it displays one's number..
i miss the smart dial on the sense 4+..
so how to re-enable it?
