Hi everybody!
I just got a neo 3, and well.... it is big hehe. also I understand that having to use both hands is a giving for many things but come on, also the dialer?.
I activated the one handed operation and it does help, but the issue that doesn't remember the most dialer contacts (so it can prioritize when start dialing) and that you have to go to the top of the phone to change between keypad, Logs, favorites and contacts (you can't even swipe to change between them) is a pain!.
so, what do you do? do you install another dialer software?
any comments will be appreciated!
regards
Ricardo

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?
Regards,
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.

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...
Hi
Recently upgraded my XDA Orbit to WM6 using one of the ROMs from TUPISDIN ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314675 )and all is well apart from an annoying missing feature:
When creating a new SMS and typing in the name of the recipient, previously it used to suggest names from my contacts after 2 characters & more. This now does not do this and I have to select to add a recipient! Is this just mine or does this happen on all WM6 installs?
My smart dialing works fine so it really is just SMS.
Hope someone can suggest ideas as this is a small but irritating feature

Hi there DMan, well the answer you are looking for is within keyboard options you have changed you "suggest word(s) after * letters" increased to more than 3, ruduce this option back to 2 and contacts will display again when typing in the recipient.
Errr...... OK, I am DMan, I found the answer after playing around for quite a while, then couldnt see how to delete this thread! Sad I know but at least I have helped someone, even if it is me
i work for 3 and sjut upgraded to a htc3600i. i went to go write a text msg and down the bottom of the screen where u select how u want to write it ie keyboard,transcriber, i found that there was no phonepad option, i called htc tec support and they seem to think that that option has been disabled on WM6. now my question after all that is does anyone know if there is any 3rd party applictaions that can b downloaded, such as the phonepad, to make texting a little bit easier.
i hope this makes sense
thanks in advance
Sms functionality is very limited on TP2. Should we install some 3rd party program like Vito or implement our own?
Anyone? lets talk about it
limited? what's so limited aboot it?
i think the sms/MMS is klunky to use. but this is coming from a smartphone user. im a noob to the ppc world

Be more specific. What is klunky.
I will tell you what limited, in regular prog you cant delete individual msg, you dont see how many symbols you type and etc. SMS SUCKS at TP2.

cant delete individual msg? Turn off Threading (try reading the Tips and Tweaks thread)
Dont know how many symbols?? mine counts fine, ^ counts as 2 characters.. hmm.. IF by "regular prog" you mean in the TF3D reply window, then yah that doesnt have a counter.
Why do you need it to count text for?? If you need to type any more than 160chars, it will be sent as 2 messages.
anything else that you wanna consider as SUCK?
is this your first WinMo phone?
I personally don't like the TF3D SMS interface so I use good ol WM interface when I have a threaded message open. It shows in the taskbar how many characters you've typed & if you want to delete an individual message you just use the arrow keys & move to thw one you want to delete & choose the option in the menu.
Very oftently you dont see sent msg in TF3D, but you can see them in wm msg. IT sucks and very slow.
I have a deep and unabiding hatred for the TF3D SMS application, and I hope someone figures out a way to make clicking a message in TF3D go directly to the WM SMS app at some point.
anyone can resolve this issue?
i have an issue with hitting back (used to it being send) and i hate the send button because for me it is very laggy usually .. when i need to fire off a bunch of messages real quick the system almost freezes up ... not very productive and alot of times i cant tell if its sent or not because it takes to long to load my reply on the thread..
touch pro 2 sucks, most sluggish phone i ever worked with, i think i will sell it.
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
