Tried to dial *228, option 2 to update my roaming table (Verizon, DINC2, CM7 #118). After dialing *228 my keyboard disappears. No way to get it back. The only 2 buttons I see are "back" and "speaker". There is space for the numbers keyboard, it is just not there. Only way to dial *228 option 2 is by programming *228,,,2 in my contacts.
Anyone else having this problem of a disappearing dial pad?

Yes, that works! Thanks! However, one caveat: The long press makes the original keyboard pop up (from which you can select numbers and then type the numbers). It does not pop up the dialing pad. But nevertheless, this is a work around.

I hear that you guys had a program that can make the two softkey buttons on the front of a Cingular 8125 so that when you hold them down they either go to the start menu of close a program. Also I havent bought the phone yet and I was wondering how you dial on the phone without the voice command since there are no number buttons on the front.
yes I to would like to know how to customize the soft keys

Yep, I just installed it on my 2-day-old 8125, and it's making a world of difference. SO much more usable now, especially with one hand. Available here if you are logged in:

Its customization is quite nice, in that the close functionality can be customized per-program to either close or hide. (Although either way you'll want to download any of the various programs that allow you to really close things.)

Tap the screen with your fingernail. That's pretty much the only option AFAIK unless if you are holding it sideways with the keyboard open. I don't really find it a problem for dialing, since I'm dialing a stored number 99% of the time anyway. But kind of a pain when typing in key selections while on a call, e.g. w/ customer support. For that I usually go to speakerphone anyway, which makes it easier to tap.
For those users of Microsoft Voice command on the Excalibur / Dash, I have found that "App 3" can be selected as the command button (selected thorugh voice command setup) and this will configure the home button as the voice command activation button (a long key press is needed). This substitutes the built-in voice dialing capacity with VC 1.6.
"App 6" maps to the end call button which can also be used, but you can no longer use this button as a key lock.

Hmmm... It doesn't work for me
Oh, wait!
It works, only if BT headset is disabled, not connected!
reboot needed
perhaps you need to first reboot. After I rebooted, it worked but I did not try it with my bluetooth was connected.
Now it works all the time. Weird
odd call waiting behavior
At times, when I receive a call waiting, the phone has disconnected my first caller to take the new call. The behavior is erratic and i have wondered if VC was responsible. Have you seen this behavior?
great tip -- it didn't work at first for me either, but after i reset and tried a few more times it worked. thanks.

i usually don't get call waiting, but i don't recall having this happening. i just may not have encountered it as of yet.
Voice Command 1.6 button on Dash
I remapped the pink 't' button on the bottom right-hand side of the keyboard to start Voice Command. The pink button previously opened t-zones, which I have no need for. It works perfectly and is easy to find without looking since it's the second to last button in the bottom row.

Has anyone gotte the Voice dialer in the Enchantment pack to work correctly under Majik? I've assigned the button as normal and although I can run the application directly from Programs, calling it via the button results in an error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename.
Yes I've gotten it to work correctly. I've map button 5 (press and hold) to Voice Speed Dial.
Hmmm. Did you use the one in Enchantments.zip or the one from the old Shadow archive?
Yes I had the same problem ,I assigned the button (PTT) the quick one and it worked about twice and then the error. I then reassigned it to the push and hold
button and it has worked for me fine ever since about 4 days I will say I also tried that same button combination with Microsoft Voice Command got the same results so I don't think it has anything with the programs.

I also found this bug if you asign PTT button to something it will work fine untill you change another button (or even if you just open the "buttons" program), then you'll have to change PTT button to something else, and change it back to what you want, after that it will work fine untill you change something else again.
Ok, 2 say i am a little annoyed is the understatement of the year for me!
When i call a company ( no matter what company.... ) most of `em start with a menu, wich asks you to dial a number.....
I would, if i could!
I can not get the numberpad up when i am actually in a call....
Can some 1 point me out how to get the friggin` thing 2 work?
lolz
Greets
Tap the "keypad" button to bring back the number pad.
Uhuh, i wish it was that simple, coz it is not showing the symbol to tap on!
What now?
Really have no clue....
Greets
Is there a setting somewhere so that we don't have to keep on tapping the keypad or the call button?
I would like for it to stay on during a call.
Anyone? Thanks...
ok, found it.....
Feel stupid, was the only button i did NOT try.......
It says "keylock"...... usually it will lock keys if you push it, but in this case it shows the dialbuttons.......
took me a while though.... whahaha
But thnx 4 the thinking...

Is there anyway to switch to another app while on a call?
On Sony Xperia, one can press "home" key to switch to the home screen and start another app while continue to talk on the phone, but on Note 2 the call screen stay on no matter which key is press. Can anyone tell me if this is normal.

Maybe a other dialer helps? I've not tested it on standard. Go Contacts EX (dialer and contacts). I can dial and press home there.

No, what I meant is when you are already in a call. How to you get to check emails, SMS message or even play games at the same time when you are speaking to someone. I can not switch out of the contact's screen as it simply locks up the screen no matter which key is pressed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
I am using the Note 2 LTE
I just tested my phone..while on call..I pressed the home button..my dialer went away and my home page appeared. I am using stock rooted rom with go launcher.

What I mean is that during a call I can just press home, then open what ever I like. It works with Go Contacts anyway. I just tried it. Opened up Gmail without issues. See the green area in the top?
