Direct Dial issue with new MPX220

[Guest mullema]

I had a HTC Canary (with 2003 on it) previous to my new mpx220 and I believe the 220 (or the Second Edition OS) behaves a little differently when attempting to look up a person or direct dial a number. I dont have my Canary anymore so cant check.

Anyway, here's my issue:

From the homescreen when I start pressing a numeric keypad item it brings up the "Contact search/dial this number" interface, but it does NOT recognise that first number that I entered.

For example from the homescreen, if I pressed "2" because I want to dial 206-xxx-xxxx, then the "Contact search/dial this number" appears but without the "2" in the search/dial box. So in essence to dial 206-xxx-xxxx from the homescreen I have to type in n206-xxx-xxx where n is any number on the numeric keypad.

The Canary did put that first number in the search/dial box I believe.

Anyone else having this issue or know how to fix it? Obviously its a pain in the arse.

I tried reverting back to the Cingular Homescreen and that did not fix it.

Thanks in advance for your help.

I think you're right.

It's only when when you get to the later digits (i.e after area code) that it eliminates the other contacts. Very Strange :?

I'm not experiencing that. If I am on the homescreen and I dial "206" I see "206" in the dial/search screen. Just a shot in the dark, but perhaps this has something to do with the selected homescreen plugin when you start dialing?

rebooting the phone fixed the issue - thanks,
