Speed Dial... no shortcut

[gumballsteve]

I've found that theres no speed dial shortcut. :confused:

On the Touch you simply press the Green Call key, press button down on the thumb pad and all the speed dials are there.. this isn't so on the dual.

has anyone found a easy wasy to find them with less than 5 clicks?

If not, does anyone know what .exe runs the speed dial, so I can create a shortcut on the Start menu.

Tnx

I personally find smart dialing to be a breeze... Just start keying in the first couple of letters and you'll get the matches... I have over 400 contacts and I find it a very efficient way to dial

Aaaaaaww what a great tip! Have had my Touch Dual for a week and had not discovered this gem. Thanks

What about assigning the contact tiles in the Touch Flo as you speed dials? Then you can have pictures of your contacts too? ;)

my "workaround" for your reference:

1. add a shortcut to HTCActionScreen.exe (i.e. the action screen we get when sliding down the keypad) to Windows\Start Menu\Program Files\

2. now should be able to add HTCActionScreen.exe to the HTC Home Launcher tab

usage:
(click 1) launcher tab -> (click 2) launch action screen -> key in whatever you like with the hardware keypad to enjoy the quickdial feature

just for exp sharing. :)

But why do you need a shortcut for that?

I you anyway use the hardware keyboard to use quickdial,
why not simply start actionscreen by sliding out the keyboard?

1. when i'm so stupid that i can't press the first key before the action screen timeout and disappear. in this case, i don't want to slide the keypad back and out again. :p

2. when i want to use the other shortcuts on the action screen.

Hehe, ok :D

But one hint: u don't need to close and reopen the slider.
The sensor is on the last 5mm.

Just pull it a little bit back and release.

hehe... i really did this previously. :P
the shortcut was added later when i found that sometimes (though not frequent at all) i may want to access the shortcuts on the action screen without opening the keypad. :)
