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!

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
when making calls i need the keypad to enter numerical choices for voice prompts. however my keypad is not making that 'beep' sound that the prompt listens for. so the call does not progress.
what can i do to use the keypad for those calls that require numerical inputs for voice prompts?

you don't need any beep sounds in order to control numerical choices, just press the digits and it works.

i tried it on a different phone number and the keypad does work.
it was only on that phone number which probably relied on keypad sounds to activate the prompts.
the annoying thing is that was the phone number of my cell service provider which i had to reach!

This doesn't make sense, something else is wrong. The digits you press during the call to a landline (without any beep in your end) causes the correct beep sound to be generated by the mobile network and sent to the other end of the call.
I just tested this myself by calling my home number to be sure I wasn't lying
I think you are searching for the wrong solution to your problem.
EDIT: here is the ETSI spec describing how it works if you like specifications
http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_i_ets/300500_300599/300532/01_60/ets_300532e01p.pdf
there must be something wrong with my cellphone providers support prompts.
i tested with my bank and 2 other credit cards and the keypad does register input with them.
it is only with that one number that i am having issues on.
How to get back to ATT voice-mail after uninstalling GVoice?
I went to https://www.google.com/voice/b/0#phones and deactivated my Gvoice account. But then what should I do next?
I believe my voice-mail is still forwarded to GVoice somehow. I tried and left a voice-mail on mail phone, the notification bar indicated that I had 1 voice-mail, but I cannot listen to it. When I dialed 1 on the phone, it went to 804-214-6647, and said that I had no voice-mail.
I believe you have to go to Settings > Call > Voicemail service and select My Carrier.
under GVoice settings for deactivating Voicemail it says:
1) Enter the following exactly as written, as if you are dialing someone:
##004#
2) Press "Send" or "Call" on your phone to dial that number. When you see the confirmation message on your phone, you are done!
I did all that before I posted here. My problem is that my phone keeps dialing the Google Voice number instead of my ATT voicemail number. Can anyone provide me the ATT voicemail number please?
You should be able to access att voicemail if you call yourself. Make sure the call forward settings are not still set on the gvoice settings.
I think the VM dial in and forward numbers are regional. If you call att they should be able to provide the number. When my wife went from the captivate to an iPhone all the forward settings are not there on the iPhone. Att was able to reset all the settings from the network side.

The call in number is your cell number.
I had to call a CSR and have them reset it for me. A little bit of a pain but it is what it is.
Hope its OK I add a somewhat related question. In my dumb attempt to get visual VM back (from SR), I installed At&t Messages. Yeah no bueno. I've removed the app but my VM is still the hybrid setup with their crappy service. Will I need to call in and have them undo this mess?

Try dialing ##004# then hit send. That should reset everything.

No its not. The ATT voicemail number is a different number. Your own number gets you into your voice mail box, but that is not giving you access to your voice mail features. Been there just this week! Since this number is not always the same between locations, I suggest you call ATT, tell them that google voice mail hijacked you, and they will give you your specific voice mail number. If that does not help, send me a message.
FIXED. I called ATT and asked the voicemail number that was programmed on my device and it worked. Calling myself also worked though.

Appreciate the response but this didn't do anything for me. On call #3 with AT&T to get this god awful app and whatever it did reversed.
thank you!
this helped me reset my voicemail after un installing the ATT messages app (worst app ever) ( i used the ## way)
Dear Developers,
During a call between two persons, if one of the callers dials a number (3 for example), can the other guy receive this number? In other words, can we, as developers, read the dialed numbers from one person to another during a conversation call.
If so, would someone provide a small piece of code?
Regards,
Yasser
Unless this has changed recently, there is no API access to in-call audio streams unfortunately.
BTW, what you're looking for is detecting "DTMF".

I know on some phones while in a call you can press the numbers and hear the tone, what if an app took that tone and routed the audio to the microphone? Or or use another application and have a dial pad displaying in the main activity and then when one presses the button it will send the dial tone to the microphone. I feel programming wise that would be easier creating a separate activity versus creating a service in the background

hello all
i am curious to know if there is a way to make my phone number private for certain contact. is there an app that makes my outgoing calls private? other than adding *67 to each contact.
i have a work phone that forwards all the incoming calls to my personal phone. there are times that i have to a followup call and i use my personal phone number. i have change my number 3 times in the past 4 month. any suggestion will be appreciated. thank you.
*67 then number you want to dial for example *67-(555)-555-5555

Have you tried Google Voice? You can call clents from that number and control access on how and when it can notify(I love the call block feature) you.
I believe the phones also have an automatic prepend feature (normally adds the +1 for dialing) I think you can change it to whatever you want (e.g *67)
The only thing I know to do is either, add *67 each time or change their contact information to include it.
Alternatively you can have it added to your phone at the Sprint level. It unfortunately is not select-able and will make all calls private. The problem with that, I found, was MANY people won't answer blocked calls.
