Pressing R in Contacts dials highlighted contact - Touch Pro CDMA

I'm not sure if anyone has seen this... It happened on the stock Sprint ROM and on JD's ROM. I have search high and low for a fix... Check out the link under Evil Dons cons... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875502015 Has anyone else experienced this? I'm refering to the issue with being in Contacts and the R dialing the highlighted contact... Only happens with the Full Qwerty Keyboard... Any ideas?

yes, I've had it since the beginning. also read on ppcgeeks of others with the issue.

Do you happen to have a link to that post on ppcgeeks?

not really, just remember reading it and suffering from the same problem (my roommate's name has an r in it, so I hit a lot).

Default Keyboard during Phone Usage?

All,
Can anyone provide me the tweak or registry key to allow for me to continue typing on the thumb board while on a phone call? (Presently while talking, the system defaults to the number pad while talking)
Any help would be appreciated. I have seen a couple threads about changing the default keyboard config, but not for this one directly.
Thanks,
Bob

what rom r u using
Using AP4, had the same issue with AP 3.0 as well. I assume that they would be different registry keys, but any help would be appreciated...

Interesting, so when you are in a call and you type an SMS or email at the same time, the "Y U I H J K B M N ." keys don't type numbers in their place? I would love to have the letters instead of only numbers. The numbers are a help in 2% of the cases, but for the most part, I want to type notes about phone calls and without having the thumb board working, I am stuck with the touchscreen and it is much slower for me.
Either way, I appreaciate your help

Thank you
Does anyone else have any ideas on how to set the keyboard mode while talking on the phone?
Thanks,

I'm using original spanish ROM WM6 and I have the same problem.
Me too
Let's bump this thread up the date sort:
AP 3.0, still. I can't get letters with the kbd at all when in a call, so I end up using an on-screen, or translating whatever I typed after the call. It sucks. I thought the active prg would dictate what happens with the keys. ???
I must admit the convenience of the automatic switch when in the phone app is nice.
I'm not getting why some units do this and some don't, or if it might be that people aren't using thier keyboards during a call in a different app.
Reg key? Any better ideas?

On screen keyboard or hardware keyboard? On screen works fine, hardware not since WM6.
its important to me, i would love to type using thumb keyboard while talking, i can confirm that vanilla version of 6.1 does that too but its a beta rom and i like AP4, maybe the athena project people can inlight us about this matter and creat a patch for us to use
for importancy am trying to keep this up, guys its doable, someone is required to just lead us, at least someone post me a clean (hard reseted) registery from a rom that works during call normally, and i will install it on my mobile (which doesn't type letters during call) if it works then at leaset we know its defenatly registry and there for i dedicate my life for it. any clean registry anyone can supply
PS am willing to Hard reset but not willing to reflash another rom am very tried from that business

If this drives you that nuts, then maybe you wouldn't mind doing a bit of investigation and sharing that with us?
Take a look at this registry key: HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartDialing\KeyboardMapping
There are some subkeys there, ToNum and ToSD. I'm guessing that those are responsible for the letter remapping. Would you mind taking a look and letting us know? Thanks!
Dialer/Dialer skine deppendent
It also could be that it is deppendent on dialer used in your system. Some dialers can switch keybaord to numbers and some can not. It would be nice if those who can write letters during a call could tell us which dialer is in their system.
Possible Path?
HKLM\Security\Phone\PhoneKeyMatch
Looks like this could be the ticket, will try to mess around with it and see if it makes any difference

Is anyone else experienceing this?

Hi Everyone,
I'm pretty good at searching for my answers & 95% of the time i find them. but i cant seem to locate the answer to this question.
I can send or forward a text to 1 person at a time with no problem. but i cant forward or send the same text message to multiple people. when i do, only the first person receives the text & no one else... i am running dcd 3.2.5... i have also encountered this before with the other dcd roms...
does anyone have a solution to this?... PLEASE!!!!
You have to put a semi colon in manually before you add each name....
Name ; Name ; Name etc.....
Wouldn't it help you and the forum best to actually elaborate upon your issue in the title? Just a bland question is actually a lottery for trolling of hits on the thread. ...just my two cents..

I do know that the latest rom does not include the latest Arcsoft MMS software. I'm not sure if it effects anything. You definitely have to put the semicolons in between the names. If that fails and you want MMS... download and install the following.... Arcsoft MMS 5.0.31.25

I have the same issue and has nothing to do with semi colons. It auto populates them when you select another contact. Only the first person gets the sms. I posted this in the DcD thread tonight. I came across it this evening when I was trying to send multiple contact sms's tonight. Bummer, but I am sure there is a fix.
Mikee
So your saying with the latest Arcsoft from GC14 that you cannot send to more than 1 person???
You've installed something that is messing with the SMS.
Now in portrait mode I have no issues with selecting up to 16 people per SMS, and 10 in MMS. In landscape, I have to add the semi-colon after each name manually..... I am on 3.2.5 with the 3.42.50 radio.......

This works... now is there antway to have the semicolons entered automatically when sending a text to multiple people?
Well I founf a fix! quite simple. Go to start settings and input. select word completion and check all three boxes and now the semi colons auto populate. I forgot dcd disables this by default.

[ROM][TEST] WM6.5 Leo ROM

Hi everyone...
There's been lots of talk over the new Manila builds... And guess what, I have them
I'm looking for a few people to test some stuff for me, so the first 5-10 people to contact me will get access to some shiny new stuff I haven't tested yet, including TF3D 2.5...
Bear in mind it's all very beta, it makes debug logs everywhere and anywhere and has a nasty habit of crashing... And not everything works!
I now have enough testers...
Thanks everyone!
Replied ur PM.

Dropped you an email
Everyone that has sent me a PM before now will get access to the ROM...
BTW, the ROM is for private use only, so releasing it is not allowed.
Great, I hope that includes me, I pm'd at 9:04. ;D
oooh sounds interesting, is it a newer build or is it still buggy? or are there fixes?
Also to those testing the new rom, keep a look out for a few bugs noticeable in some of the leo roms.
On home page, try adding a shortcut to an application, (not widget or others, as those seemed to have worked.) Does manilla crash?
Quite a few bugs in the messaging app, try sending an SMS. Does it error out with a no gsm connection error?
-- Will edit this post with the rest of the bugs that I forgot about, that seemed to be part of manila and not something else causing it.
I have one :
Warning: Unable to change the phone's band frequency. Please try again later.
when trying to swap Bands - Auto/GSM/UMTS
Switch to Airplane mode and back on...it grabs the 3G network but in band settings none of the Auto/GSM/UMTS seems to be the active on. All greyed out !

It's the same build as what I sent to you, but I'm going to try and fix some things.
I need to try and find a newer Leo ROM which may fix some things...
Just created a wiki page for easier posting of bug reports etc... Please keep it tidy!

Greetings
I have instaled in my deviuce almost al roms for topaz and this one looks will be great. I'd loved to test it.
For those that have this ROM, can someone see if entering a contacts name in the "To:" field in Messaging produces a white screen rather than anything useful?
Hi i3v5y,
Yesterday you promised me that you will include me in your testers and even asked for my email. I pm you my email but did not receive anythng from you. Please I would be grateful if you send me the details.

[Q] Synergy Contacts don't search

I am using the newiest Synergy rom. It is great!!! I have one issue and unforunatly it's a big one. When you goto people and type a name it does not search. It will highlight the first letter of the first name and stop. It should search through the whole list and bring up best matches or goto search the corp lookup. It only brings up the corp lookup if I choose to not view any contacts. So for example if I open people and type dave it will highlight the first d it finds then stop. I use the corp lookup all the time and need this feature. I also noticed that it will not auto search in messages either. PLEASE can anyone help? This is by far the best rom I have tried. I have done a complete reinstall. Wiped everything. Reformatted sd card etc.. I am very familiar with android phones and this has me stumped.
this is a known bug, the devs are working on it.
ah thanks

[Q] Phone App Locking Up (Stock Rom)

When i hit dial, on any rom i try (THS Build 14 and before, Gummy, CNA,, and stock 2.3.5) The phone freezes at the dialer. I can hear it ring, talk on the phone, hear the person, but i cant do anything involving controlling the call Only rom that works is Paranoid Android and that doesnt rotate and ive been having SMS issues with it as well. Any takers?
I seem to remember another thread with this exact same question, but I can't find it. I remember that it was solved by looking at catlogs. So please post them.

Your wish is my command: http://pastebin.com/0Y5RwQk8
So i remeber watching the logcat when i dialed, and there was some sort of opengl i/o error. Is that a graphics error?
Bumpity bump bump
No help?
I'm really sorry, I thought I posted but I guess it didn't go through. Here's the deal: I can't read logcat. You're going to have to weight 'till someone who can, like Droidstyle, sees this thread.
