So I have the 3.2, which is pretty recent I suppose. I have the P4000 with Telus.
I noticed that when I want to dial 611 (to reach telus) it actually dials a previous number in my history that starts with a 61..
I'm in Ottawa so our area code is 613.
I believe this is a bug as I used to be able to call out 611 from the OEM rom.
Thanks guys

Sounds like Smart Dialing is interfering. Try disabling Smart Dialing and see if you can get through. I have to do that occasionally for a similar situation. You can also try other dialers.
Menu -> Smart Dialing Options -> Enable Smart Dialing
Happens to me all the time when accessing EPST; it's because of the smart dialing. When you dial the number, just press up on the navigation pad, then send the number. That will resign the number to what you are actually dialing, as opposed to the number that smart dialing assumes you are trying to input.
Thanks dudes
Get the etphone.dll for smartdialing and a new dialer. Works better than the stock smartdialer and never dials the wrong number.
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.
^^ the letter p is for pause and w is for wait ^^

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
Greetings all!
I have an HTC Touchpro (Raph800) from Alltel. Yes Vzw is my current provider due to the buyout, but i still use my alltel phone. I recently upgraded it to wm6.5 using the mighty rom. Awesome rom btw! So far everything is working great, save for the bluetooth dialer in my car. it worked great under wm6.1.
I'll give you an example:
I press the button on the steering wheel to make a call.
I hear, "Make a call. Say by Name, By Number"
I say, "Name"
I hear, "Say the name of the person you wish to call."
I Say , <Insert Name Here>
I hear, "Call", <name from above> , "on which number. At Home. On Mobile"
I say "On Mobile"
I hear "Say yes to dial. Or, say back or cancel."
I say, "yes"
I hear "Dialing", <name from above> , "on mobile." Then a bunch of DTMF tones probably to simulate dialing because they always sounf the same for any nimber in my address book.
What is suppose to happen next: (What happend on wm6.1)
My dialer shows up on my screen and it dials the number in my address book and makes the call.
What is happening:
Nothing. Nothing on my phone changes and after 30 seconds of waiting the system times out and goes back to playing music through the speakers.
The only I can get this to work now is if i already have the dialer app open, wich makes the whole process pointless because my contacts are just one more tap away. If I dial from the phone the car system works has a hands free device. I can also answer calls from the steering wheel controls. When the phone is ringing the dialer app is running so I think this is why. I just cant dial from a cold start like I used to under wm 6.1.
Any ideas? Complaints? Gripes?
btw, the car is a 2011 Kia Sorento.
Thanks in advance for any information.
[Update]
Now for whatever reason, the bluetooth dialing is completly not working. Is there another dialer that would work? Or am I screwed?
[/Update]
I can dial the number just fine but, when asked to put in the conference call password/id, or voicemail password, the keypad thinks i'm touching the numbers several times instead of just the one time... example 4197 equals 4447719777
any ideas?

Sort of found out what is going on. Whenever i have in my headphones with microphone and try to punch in the numbers, it doesn't work. Even if the phone is on speaker, no work.
BUT, if i have it as a regular phone and type in the code for my voicemail, code for the conference call, it works.
So, the use of mic/headphones, or speaker phone, no punching in codes. Weird.

Yeah, I too have this issue... This happens with headphones on,.. Does not happen without headphones
As you can see from the thread title...frustration is setting in. I can't enter numbers using the keypad during a phone call. Example:
I call insurance company
Company asks me for my number
I input the number using the onscreen keypad but there is no "tone" sent.
Is there a setting somewhere? I'm freaking out!!!

One of my major gripes with this phone is that it doesn't play the DTMF tones when I dial. I hate that gurgling noise it makes. I haven't had any trouble entering conference codes or other numbers once connected though. Are you saying you don't hear the tones or they aren't recognized on the other end? A lot of times you have to enter a '#' at the end of your numbers, are you doing that?
Nope. It's like the other side can't hear the tones. Annoyed!
