My phone has been great since updating to DCD's latest cocktail but today I started having a really weird problem.
I would manually dial a number in the dialer screen (# was not in my contacts) and it would instead dial a similar number of one of my contacts. Tried it 5 times and even tried soft-resetting and it kept doing it.
After the soft Re-set and clearing my call memory it started choosing a different number to call but still the same issue. The numbers is chose were very similar, all had the same area code and the 1st 2 numbers were the same but after that completely different.
Is there a way to go to the stock dialer? I'm on a Verizon 6800.
Thanks.

Are you talking about smartdialing? If so this is normal
What it is doing is that when you dial a number whether it is in your contacts or not, it is trying to recognize numbers that you have dialed. If it matches it will display the name of the contact and options to give information.
But if you keep dialing and the numbers don't match with any contact then nothing will appear. It will just let you dial the number that you are trying to dial with out having to look through a familiar contact.
it was doing the smart thing narrowing it down as I entered more numbers but after the 6th number nothing matched so it showed just the number in the dialing section of the screen. Hit the send button and it would then choose a contact to dial instead.

Hmm that is odd... If you dont really use Smart dial, try disabling it in the options menu of the dial screen. This might help. Are you running a custom ROM or Stock?
DCD's newest custom ROM with the custom dial. I was hoping there was a way to load the stock dialer instead to see if that helped.
Wow... funny, I had the same thing happen a few times exactly as described. I dialed the complete 10 digit number and instead it dialed one of my contacts with the same area code and partial prefix. I figured it was just me.
I'll try disabling Smart Dialing and see if that fixes it.
Also I looked at the numbers I called and I was trying to dial XXX-761-2056 but it dialed XXX-709-8039 so not even close. The other time it tried dialing XXX-701-5325.

So you guys cooked your own ROMS and when you cooked it you put the Vogue Dialer , Vouge Skin, and Smartdial?
Or the Stock Titan Dialer ?
Because I installed the Vouge options with smartdial and mine works perfectly.
I will provide you with the Mogul / 6800 Big Button CAB which will replace your dialer and the Touch Skin CAB to skin the dialer.... This might work "you can always uninstall it"
I didn't do any cooking, I just took DCD's basic ROM and loaded that but it came with a different dialer than stock for the XV6800.
I'll give those dialers a shot, that a lot.
Turns out that this is the same dialer as the one built into DCD's ROM but what is interesting is no numbers showed on the keypad. It also showed up as HTC HTC Home for the install in remove programs
Well crap. Turns out the HTC HTC Home listing in remove did remove the HTC home plug in but not the dialer and now I've got not #'s on the keys. I can't find the uninstall line for this dialer, any ideas? Oh wait think I found it. The Bullfrog Big Button Dialer right?
I installed the Wizard reTouched dialer (installing it will fix your no number issue). I haven't tried just dialing a random number though... lemme give it a shot.
Ok, I just tested it and it worked fine, let me find the dialer. It looks EXACTLY the same as the "stock" one in DCD's rom, but I found it's a little different.
Ok, here it is, it's attached in the first post of this thread. There are some skins for it too.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315685
I noticed that when I tried to skin the stock dialer it didn't skin right. I'd have no numbers, or some of the buttons wouldn't map right. I installed the dialer in the thread above and I was able to skin it fine, and it makes calls without issue.
P.S. The test number I dialed has the same area code and exchange as a few contacts.
Oh, and the Wizard dialer will show up in your remove programs list.
You guys need to install the Big Button dialer along with the Touch CAB
The Big Button Dialer just installs the Dialer and the Touch CAB skins the Dialer with the key pad.
I have tried the Wizard Retouched one, but I removed it because it looks wack to me because you can't modify it like the big button can.
So for those with not having a dial pad
Install the Mogul Big Button Dialer
Then
The Touch CAB
Or they can pick whichever one they prefer.
You know, choices and all...

True, but after all it was an opinion not a fact.
Fact is that with the big button dialer and the Touch skin cab it is easy to make your own skins by replacing the ones that the Touch skin cab created.
This is meant for true modifiers. Because you wont have to be installing cab after cab after cab or even worrying about getting a gsm dialer that removes certain features on your phone.
Since I really don't care for the custom dialers I deselected the dialer skin and the smartdailing in DCD's kitchen. Now I have an original WM6 Dialer with WM6 smartdialing and I really like it.

UPDATE
I am assuming you guys use CDMA since it is a TITAN Forum. Be advised that using the Wizard Touch Dialer will not only give you memory leaks, BUT
also disable the ability to use 911 and other features such as the advanced configuration mode on your phone.
Check out post 170 on the same link that redirects you to the Wizard dialer

Workaround
I have found that when you are dialing a number that is similar, or if it happens more than once, push up on the directional pad after dialing the number which deselects the smart dialing number in the window. then press the green button as usual. This seemed to help and hasn't done it for me in several days.
Serf, Since I'm a newb at custom ROMS I didn't do the kitchen thing. Maybe I need to give that a shot so I can get the stock dialer back.

Lost smart dialer on 8525 with new rom
I did a rom update to the new AT&T rom and was pretty sure that smartdialer was working initially, but now I've completely lost the function and can't figure out how to get it back. I recently had a similiar problem after uninstalling some SPB unitheme dialer skins and when I contacted SPB they had me correct the problem with the following advice...."You should change "enabled" value from "0" to "1" in [HKLM\Security\Phone\Skin] registry key on your device". But now when I check this registry string I find that it is set to "1" and still doesn't work. Any suggestions on how to get smartdialer up and running again without a hard reset?

Smart Dialer coment:
Some are having issues with new ROM and no smart dialer. I had no problems, but I also know that installing ETen Big Button Dialer (available at 8525software.com) disables Smart Dialer. So I tested it. Install ETen and as supposed too, no smart dial. Then I unistall ETen and the smart dial is back working ok. Also in the phone screen the right soft key has an option for the Smart Dialer, make sure it is turned on.

My MSL code is not working. I both called sprint and used getspc.exe and they both gave me the MSL of 057191 and when I go to my phone dialpad and enter ##057191# nothing happens. I read on another forum that you can't do it from a skinned dialpad. I'm using Nexvision's Hybrid 3.35.04 and i think it has a touch skinned dialpad (dark gray/black, big buttons).
I've been using this ROM for months now and I love it. Everything is working great, no problems, just this.
Is there something else i could be doing wrong? I need this ASAP so i can "reset" my phone on the network to allow me to use the *611 dropped call thing some more.
I have honestly tried searching the archives and didn't find this.

Probably a dialer problem. I'd try installing various other dialers to remedy your problem.
I don't understand are you already in PST? Or are you trying to get there? If your trying to get there it is ##778# or ##778 send. You may need to erase your calls, you then enter in your MSL(just the six digits and no # symbol). You should not be using a dial pad to enter in your MSL while in PST it should be they keyboard.

This is true.
The MSL is your unlock code to EDIT values inside EPST. To enter EPST on Sprint, dial ##778# and send. When EPST opens, if you choose Edit, THEN you enter your MSL. MSL is not required to simply View EPST.
Thanks, but none of the methods are working
Thanks for the quick replies. I was just following the instructions of the Tier 1 tech guy on with me didn't seem to know what he was talking about, and apparently didn't. He was trying to get me to enter ##[MSL]# without hitting send, from the dialpad. He got all bent and had no clue what to do when it wasn't working.
I tried ##778 > send and also ##778# then send and neither one gets me into EPST. It just places a call and the female recording says "the number or code you dialed is incorrect...message 637." I also tried it without hitting send, nothing happens.
Another poster suggested i install nother dialer. How do i get back to the original dialer? Also, will i have problems getting my touch dialer back with smartdial working? I've always been hesitant to go changing dialers since I've heard about and had problems with getting smartdial to work once the switching shenanigans begin. TIA
##778# is the ## code for Sprint.
If it's not working for you, one of the following must be the cause:
1. You have installed a dialer not meant for CDMA phones and it has broken your functions.
2. You have not installed the Sprint carrier cab.
I'm also assuming you're using the latest 3.1.2 rom. If not, please post what rom you are using and also what dialer you are using.
Have you tried to directly run ..\Windows\EPST.exe ??
In the Windows directly try executing that or its shortcut. If it quickly loads and exits, then try a few more times before resetting your phone and trying again.
Solved! but still trying to "reset phone on network"
well, don't i feel like an "azclown." I was searching for the OEM dialer and came across this thread, in which i found the same issue being discussed and azclown had uploaded a touch dialer that fixes the problem! i love it when people not only answer a question, but also put the file right there in your face.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2255605&highlight=oem+dialer#post2255605
that dialer is basically the same as the one Nexvision had in the ROM i am using, but it has a blue accent (and ## codes work!).
However, now on to what my real problem was that i was trying to, as the Tier 1 rep put it "Reset my phone on the network" by either retyping my existing MSID or entering all zeros and then rebooting. He said that would allow me to get more dropped call credits. i'm referring to the *611, then just saying "dropped call" to get 2 minutes of credit, which i need to repeat a bunch of times, since with so many dropped calls where i used to live, i ended up going over my minutes.
I tried doing what the guy said, using all zeros for the MSID made it so that *611 didn't work and it tried to get me to activate my phone from square one. So i put the original MSID back and it still says I've gotten the limit for the dropped call credits. Anyone know what the guy means by "reset my phone on the network" and how i can do that? (sorry for the long posts) TIA
That ROM comes with a crappy dialer which has memory leaks on CDMA phones and does not support the codes or 911. Re-cook it with the stock dialer and install dcd's touch dialer CAB. Or you can cook it with the dialer's OEM folder from the latest dcd ROM.
So wait you were able to get in to your PST? As I said before you may need to erase your call history then dial ##778 then hit send.
yes, I got into the PST just fine after putting the other dialer on (i had also deleted my call history). i used the ##778# method. However, I wasn't able to "reset my phone on the network" (per sprint tech rep's instructions) so that I could get more dropped call credits. That was the real reason I was trying to do all of this. My minutes restarted today, so I'm just going to have to pay for an overage. Oh well.

Nonsense. You accepted that answer?
Ever since I have upgraded (and boy do I mean that in every sense of the word, thanks DCD) my dialing from the phone screen has been painfully slow... one of those things that just throws off your rhythm trying to dial because the numbers and touch tones do not show up until after a delay.... so basically you are not sure if you dialed the right numbers until waiting to see what comes out OR you ave to go VERY slow to make sure that there are no mistakes. It is a one digit at a time delay... dial a number and wait or dial them all and they slowly show up with even timing.
I hope there might be an idea... I won't go as far as reloading it... I have it too perfect right now... I wouldn't remember where to start and I don't have the time to reinstall everything anyway. Just the same... any thoughts or suggestions are gratefully accepted.
Some of the replacement dialers/contact programs with their own dialers look up your contacts as you dial, if you have a very large contact list it can drastically slow down your dialing. Try turning off smartdialing temporarily and see if it clears it up.

also have you turned off the dialing tones. that slows it down too

This dialer is really aweful considering there is no smart dial..
plus you cant tap the contact and have their numbers popup so you can choose which you want to call.
these are basics of wm and i dont have these features. I love the phone and it's features, but smart dial is extremely important to me and im sure to others as well.
is there something i can do to replace the dialer?
help if you can
Thank you
There is Smart Dial on my Sprint Touch Pro. The thing that bothers me is everytime you touch a name under the dialer it automatically starts calling them. I would like it to go to the contact so you can pick which number to call.

You have to click on the input bar at the very top of the screen before you touch a name. This will search instead of dial.

Use your D-pad to scroll through the numbers, press Left or Right after you see the name.

...How do you input extra numbers to be dialed after the phone number, i.e., to dial a pause and your password for instance).
I thought it was "," but that didn't work. And for short numbers like traffic "511" plus the highway, I put in 511,4951 and it converts it to 511-4951.

Too bad you can't make the input bar a little bigger, I find it hard to tap the input box without using the stylus. Most times I can tap everything with my finger but that input box always messes me up.
I use the Sprint Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) feature almost exclusively now to dial numbers from my Contacts. Regardless of what Sprint calls it, it's Microsoft Voice Command and it works quite well. There's no training and you don't have to record voice tags. It just works
It even works well with a Bluetooth headset. Just tap the answer/call button on the headset and tell your phone who to dial. If there's more than one number for the contact, it will ask which one to dial. I rarely take my phone out of the holster to make a call.

Yeah, I dial everyone with it unless there's too much background noise. I LOVE it.
You can also tell it to start programs by saying "Start " then the program name, OR, you can tell it to play media files by saying the same thing. You can even ask it for the date and time and your battery level. I never even really knew how good it was until I used it. Not one review I read talked about it.
i dont think you guys understand what i am saying... i owned the xv6800 for 2 years and the i760 also... smartdial does work on the touch pro but when you hit the number with your finger it calls that number.. with the xv6800 and i760 you tap and hold and all the contact info comes up in a little popup and you tap the number you want to call..
as for the dpad.. the dpad takes alot to get use to..it's too easy to make mistakes using the dpad.
i brought back the original dialer through the reg and it still did not help. htc has completely taken over the os with their proprietary software. not too smart on their end. i have also disabled the touch flo and you get the same ugly white dialer.
Just read!
And the answer you were given in this thread is that when you see the number in your call history, you use your d-Pad to scroll through the numbers in your directory and when you see the one you want you hit enter and your phone will "F"-ing dial it. Can you not read?

In my dialer, it has a Contacts button in the lower left corner. If you use that, then it works the way you describe: click a contact and then you can pick which number you want to use. Doesn't everyone have this?
I agree with the OP. I would like to have smart dialer access Contacts so that I can quickly pull up someone's full contact info and then decide which number to call. I also try to avoid using the D pad because it isn't 100% accurate (or at least not for me) and I have had trouble dialing the wrong number or person inadvertently.
Trying to use the current Contacts option isn't very finger friendly for me.
Update - I just used Advanced Config to turn off the dialer skin, and now I have what I was looking for. At least with Sprint, the basic dialer has smart dial that allows you to tap a contact and it brings up the persons contact info, rather than just dialing their default number. I'm going to give this a try for a while.
I use Spb's Mobile shell to do as you describe.

QWERTY stuck on compact, wont change to Full
I have been doing some tweaking to my phone and after adding the black dialer, my QWERTY that displays with messages is the compact and not the full anymore. I have tried to change it in the Today section but it keeps reverting back to the compact style. I have not been able to locate the cab file to delete it. Any help would be great, thanks I should specify, I am using the touch pro
Hello all,
I have googled and googled and searched, and I can't find anyone with the same issue I have. I don't know if I'm using the wrong search terms or what.
I cannot seem to get a default dialer setting for ALL phone numbers.
- I have Dialer One installed because I like it better than the default.
- It installed no problem, though even when I was in the app, it would still switch to the default to make the actual call, I think. But that didn't bother me too much... at least I could use it to find the number I wanted.
- Then I installed Skype.
Now, every time I call a phone number that I have not called recently, the thing pops up AGAIN asking me if I want to dial it with "Phone" or "Skype." (Dialer One is never an option.) I can tell it to use the Phone always... but it will only set it for that phone number. I'm constantly calling new phone numbers, and I'm sick of having to continually tell it to always use the phone!
Soooo.... can anyone tell me how to do at least one of these:
- Either make Dialer One the default for all calls and phone numbers.
- Or make the default phone dialer the default for all calls and phone numbers... I can still open Dialer One to locate the number I want.
- Or somehow tell it to stop offering Skype to me. Ever. I'll open the Skype app when I want to call that way.
Note:
- In my Settings | Applications, there is no default dialer listed at all. Dialer One is the only thing listed. I may have tried to uninstall it back when I installed dialer one... which may be why I'm having issues. Maybe?
- Skype settings has absolutely nothing in settings to "Never offer" or anything of the sort.
- Every solution I've found says to clear the defaults, make a call, and choose always. Like I said... I do that dozens of times every week and it still keeps popping up.
***I do have the phone rooted, in case the solution requires that.***
Thanks in advance!
You can not replace the phone dialer..that will always be use whenever you are dialing some one. However installing a custom dialer will only give you a front end of the dialer but it will still use the default dialer software to dial some one.
Now try dialing any number thru SGS3 default dialer. It will ask you to dial thru phone or Skype. Choose phone and always.
