Assign Speed Dial to Hardware Button?

[Philip]

Is there any way of assigning Speed Dial (not Voice Speed Dial) to a hardware button?

Why do I want to do this? I'd like to be able to press a button which would bring up the Speed Dial list. I would then use the jog wheel to scroll through the list and scroll-click to dial that number.

With the phone application open to the keypad press the d-pad left and it brings up the speed dial list.[ Power>Green Phone>Left D-Pad ]Three buttons but still pretty quick.

quicker: power->green phone->jog wheel DOWN (or UP for call history)

Hi all,

I've lost this shortcut (Green button->left D-PAD) and I don't know what happened. As I lost also the Smart dialing menu item. It happened to me once before I upgrade my ROM which returned that back. Now I lost it again and I am going crazy trying to know how this happened or which application I installed did that.

Do you have any idea?

Thanks in advance

With an unaltered Ext_ROM, a hard reset should do the trick.

I don't know if I am missing something, but neither of the key sequences suggested (Power>Green Phone>Left D-Pad or power->green phone->jog wheel DOWN) do anything at all on my Hermes. I even tried a Soft Reset before trying these sequences and nothing happens.

I'm running the latest (South African) HTC ROM, as posted here, if that makes any difference.

Not sure what is happening there, because I have not used that ROM. Did you install all the cabs from the extended rom? If so, it may be that this was left out of the South African version for some reason. My TyTN is out for repair/replacement due to SA issues and I can't check it, but I think the latest TyTN ROM functioned this way. My 8525 with latest Cingular ROM certainly does.
