Not in the sense that you long press a number on the dial pad.
Usual WP ways of doing it include
- "Recents" in people hub
- Pinning the people you want to dial a lot to your home screen
- Third-party speed dial apps

I found out today that there are voice commands for speed dial.
Turn on "Ease of Access" --> "Speech for phone accessibility" in Settings.
Then say "Save Speed Dial" - it will walk you through the process of setting a number.
To use, just say "Call Speed Dial 1" and it will dial the number associated with it.
There's an app called "Help + Tips" that comes with Nokia 920 - look at that. Many interesting gems there.

Also, just so you know, this is not a whole lot different from saying "Call contact name"
You can use that directly - without any setup.
The voice commands are activated by holding Windows (Home) button - long press.
Hell I use voice dial all the time. Why set up speed dial numbers?

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
if you go and follow the instructions below you will find Select option 04 (Vocoder) is not there.
there is a mibile P-Rev and you have a few options in that 6 default.
I have yet to make a test call after setting it to 9 but i dont think it will help as its not the Vocoder (that im trying to change)
My test caller said (before changing to 9) i sound voip'y Im coming from S2 on sprint. (clear as hell but cant make a call for its life)
any one know where the Vocoder is now hidden at?
From
http://www.droidxforums.com/forum/d...improve-call-quality-hidden-menu-setting.html
Thumbs up Improve Call Quality - Hidden Menu Setting
DISCLAIMER: This post describes how to access the phone's hidden programming menu. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. The changes I describe have been used by many people with the Droid 1 and other Android phones.
I strongly recommend that you stay out of the other areas of this menu unless you know exactly what you are doing.
-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
This has been discussed many times over at DF, but I thought I'd share for those of you that weren't a Droid 1 convert and may not have seen this.
Pull up the dialer on your phone
Dial ##PROGRAM (##7764726)
Hit Send (the call button)
The password is 000000 (six zeros)
Select option 04 (Vocoder)
There are three options: 13K, EVRC (default), and EVRC-B
Choose EVRC-B and hit apply
Back out of the menu to your home screen
The phone will reboot on its own
This option uses a higher quality voice compression codec. The result should be an improvement of audio quality in calls. Some technical information about EVRC and EVRC-B can be found HERE.
TEST THIS AFTER IMPLEMENTATION.
EVRC-B, while available in most areas, is not available everywhere. If you find you are unable to place calls, go back into the menu and choose EVRC.
So, have you made a test call?
I think i have the same problem. Some people, not all of them, say that the sound is like microphone is a little bit wet, or i'm speaking pressed the microphone to the cheek, or that the sound is too "digital'. And i remember, that i had the same problem with milestone, on its first firmware, and it was solved later.
Just tried. I can't enter menu, my phone is just dialing this number.
bump because i love this thread

Can't open thread from howardforums. It says error.
I saw another ts post, where he says that he have a bad microphone. And I'm trying to understand is this a hardware problem, or just a provider differences.
Hi,
(sorry if wrong forum)
I have an SGS2 running ICS and have setup my android's SIP client (internet calling) in phone > settings > internet call settings ("Accounts" and "Use internet calling", at the bottom).
I call many international numbers through sip. If I set the option "Use internet calling" to "Ask for every call", then every time I dial a number it asks whether to use "Mobile phone call" or "Internet call". If I choose the latter, then the call is made through my sip provider saving me lots of money.
It would be really useful if there was an app that would intercept calls to certain numbers I configure and change to internet call mode on the fly. The "prefixer" app does something close with prefixing/suffixing numbers.
Alternatively, I would also be happy with a widget that allows me to switch that phone option between "Ask for every call" and "Only for Internet calls" when tapped, so I don't have to navigate through menus all the time. For a dev this shouldn't be that hard I presume since it would just alter an existing OS option.
Is there any app/widget for this?
Cheers
I'm not aware of any apps/widgets, but using ICS you can simply put those numbers in as "Internet Call" fields.
Set your outbound SIP calling preference to "Internet Calls Only," then edit each of your overseas contacts and move their international numbers into the "Internet Call" field (click "Add New Field," then select "Internet Call" from the list).
This page explains it much better;
https://support.google.com/ics/nexus/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=1645041
Thanks. The problem is that I visit those countries often enough to not want to do that. When I'm in that country, then I'd like to call direct s editing numbers back and forth becomes unattractive.
I found out that the "Prefixer" app actually does allow this. I match the numbers and automatically add the suffix @sip.domain.com (or whatever the SIP proxy host name is). It works but sometimes does not intercept the outgoing call so I have to be vigilant and cancel it quickly. Most of the times it works so I'm ok with the solution.
p.s. there are tons of SIP apps, some which do have call intercept features, but they don't work very well from what I found.

On Google Play there's the SIP Switch Widget, which does what you're searching for.
You can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.siebeck.sipswitch (unfortunately I'm not yet allowed to post links...)
Yeah this is a bummer for me. I wish I could just hold the call button for example to see a popup internet call / not if SIP (internet calling) settings were filled in Phone Settings. Another great feature would just be to define the local area code IE:416 and everything else would be over internet calling.
Simple eh? Too bad Google couldn't figure it out

Works for me. Dialer settings don't always show the correct settings, but calls are made with whatever the widget says they should be. To see the current settings, unload the dialer from memory, then check the selected setting.

On Shostock 4 and StraightTalk. This is pretty annoying, been going on for quite some time, even before ST.
When it does go straight to my mailbox, it refuses to identify the stored password.
I was on Net10 for a month recently and had the same problem with the mail box. Net10 is another brand from the same company as Straight Talk. While I was on AT&T before switching to Net10, my voice mail would always connect without prompt. Then I went to Net10 for a month, and when I went back to AT&T, my voice mail still prompted me for the number. I found that there is a menu to change the settings. Apparently, this is a "so called" security feature. On AT&T I was able to disable the security feature so that my voice mail now works like it used to. I would bet that Straight Talk also has a similar configuration menu for voice mail, if you can find the instructions for it. If not, find the instructions for AT&T and maybe the prompts will be the same.

Yes, I know where it is (Phone, Settings). I just added the mailbox number to the dialing sequence, it's just annoying that you need to it.
Thanks!

I wasn't referring to using speed dial to include the password after a pause and the # symbol, but doing it that way is actually more secure. Here are the instructions for turning the password on or off on AT&T:
By default, the password requirement is on when you set up your voicemail. For your security, we don't recommend turning the password requirement off.
Here's how to turn the voicemail password feature on or off:
1.Press and hold 1 or Voicemail key to call into the voicemail system from your wireless device.
2.If you have new messages, press the * key to skip to the Main Menu, otherwise go to Step 3.
3.Press 4 for Personal Options.
4.Press 2 for Administrative Options.
5.Press 1 for Password Options.
6.Press 2 to Turn Password On or Off, and then follow the prompts.
It seems that some people can access their ST voice mail without a password, but the official word is that the 'security feature" can not be turned off. I no longer have any way to test it.

Entering the password is half the problem. Although it's annoying that it is asking for it now, my bigger issue is with entering the mailbox number. This is really inconvenient, especially when you drive and want to retrieve your messages.
