HTC Hero :: Phone Dial Pad While On Call
Sep 3, 2009While listening to a voice message I want to hit #7 to delete, etc. However, while on a call the dial pad closes. I hit the menu button but the dial pad is not an option.

View 6 RepliesThe Situation or: what I'm looking for:
1. Nexus 7 with Google Contacts app
2. Non-android phone (Nokia N8 etc.) or really any dumb phone paired to Nexus 7 via bluetooth.
3. Select phone number from Contacts on Nexus 7 -> connected phone dials the number
4. Talk on phone.
As I have a very extensive and nicely organized list of contacts in my "People" app (Google Contacts) on the Nexus 7, I would just like to be able to select a number there and have the bluetooth-connected dumb phone place the call, so I just need to pick up the phone and talk, not dial the number manually on the phone.
Right now, when I select a number in the Contacts app on the Nexus 7, Skype - of all things - starts and wants to dial that number apparently. Instead of Skype, I want the number to be sent to the connected bluetooth phone. Surely that HAS to be possible somehow?
Even though this should only require a simple ATD command to be sent out via bluetooth and it's a functionality that every automobile bluetooth setup can do (dial from the steering wheel etc. -> connected phone places the call), I couldn't find one single, small app that does that.
In the PC world, this is sometimes known as CTI (computer telephony integration), basically you dial a number on your Windows PC (e.g. using on-board "dialer.exe" or using Outlook, and your phone places the call). So now I'm basically looking for a simple, one-way TTI (tablet telephone integration).
I did find Tablet Talk, which looks very nice, but this one needs a client software to be installed on the phone, which therefore has to be Android, so it's unusable for my case. I'm pretty much looking for a universal solution here, i.e. Android tablet to any dumb or smart bluetooth-enabled phone (or even another android for that matter), which, given that bluetooth is a universally specified protocol, shouldn't be much of a problem, in my limited understanding.
From my point of view, to problems or "routines" would have to be solved/written in an app that does this:
1.) Get the Google Contacts app ("People") on the android tablet to send numbers via bluetooth or to our "middleware app" (to be named) instead of sending those numbers to the Skype app (which might just be a quirky configuration on my Nexus 7, but it illustrates the use case).
2.) ATD command to phone via bluetooth, sent from the tablet
When you want to make a call - you press the phone button and the phone dial buttons pop up and on the top some names from the contact list. You can roll down to get the full list of contact names to select from...
My problem is that this dial list is too sesnsetive : it is enough to touch a name and puff it starts dialing right away. This way I started call by accident people that I did not really want to call. Can this smart dial be made less touch sensetive. Or better: an option when the phone will respond "do you want to call this person?" or something
Seriously? Anyone able to switch it? I cant seem to figure it out.

View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm probable being very stupid but despite trawling the forum and looking though the PDF manual I can't see how to enter tones during a call. EG for menu options.
Hitting "Menu" during a call severs the call (is it supposed to do this?).
There is a grid icon on the bottm of the screen which I thought was the one I wanted.
Just started happening today. Every call I try to make gives me Call has been lost. I have 2-3 bars, didn't have a problem yesterday. I think I can still receive calls, as I just got one right before I needed to dial out. Tried calling several #'s in my contacts list. Anyone have a fix or suggest? I've powered down my phone once already.

View 7 Replies View RelatedSince the day I received this phone (LG Eve - GW620R): I have had this recurring problem. After I dial a number and hit the call button; the screen says "call ended", and the call gets minimized to the notification bar. I cannot overstate how annoying this bug is. Also, I get random notification dings (the screen says "preparing SD card") when the phone is just sitting idle. Finally, when I get e-mails it will tell me that my memory is full when it's not.
Anybody else experiencing these issues? Is there a solution?
I would like to know how could i block the dial, home , back and the end call button on an android device.
I know this is possible because there is an application : TheftAware which does block all the buttons so they have no effect at all.
And I also would like to know how to make a dialog window or any kind of window which would stay on top no matter what (this is also done in theftaware).
They are also able to block(hide) the call screen... does someone know how are they doing that ?
Does all this means that android is not that secure after all ?
I have a strange problem with my Xperia X10....the call is getting disconnected immediately as soon as I dial the number
Also checked if its is an issue with the sim card but its giving problems to other sim cards also.
check all the call settings but of no use.
I want to make an application that should dial a number and play a prerecorded message on the call...
Can you please give me a clue if this can be done?
I'm trying to write a convenience app that needs to bring up the active dialer for a connected call, but I'm having issues after trying a couple of approaches.
ACTION_DIAL - I've tried starting a new dialing activity and while this brings up a new dialer, it's not connected to the existing call so pressing buttons on the new dialer produces no dial tones on the receiver's end.
ToneGenerator - Created my own little dialer activity and hooked up ToneGenerator calls in response to button clicks, but then found out that it only generates tones in the dialer's earpiece and not on the receiver's side.
So... Is there any way to programmatically send dial tones to an active call? Any way to bring up the dialer of the active call and not the dialer for a new call?
does anyone else think that the phone dial pad on the hero is pretty small?I checked the market and they dont offer a bigger dial pad.I really like the one i've seen on the g1.Can the dial pad take up the whole screen?Maybe Im missing something here.

I would like an app that would set the divert to different numbers depending on location.
i work/live in a rural area, so i have a hero on one network which at the moment, when i am out somewhere, diverts to another phone on a different network when there is no signal because the network coverage varies so much!
but, the signal in my house is terrible on both networks so i have to divert the hero (main) phone number to my landline as this is my main contact number for business and the answer machine is attached.
it would make it easier for me if there was something that recognized when i was in or out of the house and set the divert accordingly, most of my appointments are noted in the calendar, so even if it was triggered by an appointment or such, that would be enough, any app suggestions?
When I tap 'call mobile' there is no attempt to dial and the call ends straight away (the end call button at the bottom greys out as soon as I tap call). This has only just started happening. Has anyone else had this problem and if so, what's the solution?

So my question is, does anyone know how to turn the vibration off for the dial pad? I got it turned off for texting and I have the noise off for the dial pad just can't seem to get the vibration off. The reason I ask is because my dial pad is realllllllyy laggy. Like it takes 2-3+ seconds for a number that you press to show up and I feel like the vibration is the reason for the lag.
I have my Jabra BT250V Headset paired to my Hero. Can anyone tell me...on an incoming call what do I press on the phone to transfer the call to my headset? Also is there any way the Hero can be set to auto-answer after x no of rings like my previous Wim mob phone and most Nokias do?
View 2 Replies View RelatedSince I got my Hero in November, I've been able to use the internet while on a phone call through my Bluetooth headset.I've done it hundreds of times.Everything from surfing the web to clicking and viewing picture links in Twitter texts.Suddenly, tonight, I tried to do it and noticed that I had no internet connection.As soon as I hung up from the call, the internet kicked back on.I looked up what I was trying to look up and when I got another phone call, it kicked off again.I have looked up this issue and have read repeatedly that you can't do this on a CDMA network.My question is this...why was I able to do it for months and suddenly I'm not? I just did it last night!
