Save number while talking

[Guest nickustinov]

There's one thing which I can't figure out.

Let's say I am speaking to someone on the phone and then he tells me some phone number which I should write down. With my old phones, (e.g. SE, Nokia) I could enter this number on keypad, then press "hang up" button and the number was on the screen.

Now, with smartphone (too smart, huh) if I enter some number while talking and then disconnect the number disappears!!!

Is there a way to fix that?

Just add it to your contacts and you can access it there.

What I do is go through Contacts and create a new entry whilst talking via the speakerphone

The downside is that once in a call, if you press Home the Contacts softkey becomes "Call Progress", so you have to assign a speed dial or go through the Start Menu

Don't forget that the person on the other gets a "click" for (almost) every keypress but if you turn "Mute" on then they get the DTMF tone for the keypress! A good way to wind people up, but not so good for keeping friends

Ugh, that's tricky and quite unconvinient. And what if I don;t want to create a new contact? They must fix it in next ROM version

Unlikely to happen as it's not beed addressed in two and a half years.

Also it's not really that much of a problem unless you want to take down new temporary numbers all the time which is probably why it's not been looked at as such.

Yeah, you're right, it's not great (it's not quite as bad as it sounds though)

If you dont want to put the number into a new contact you can add it to an existing one, or (if you mean you don't want to keep the number) you could just put it in a contact called Temp, which you can overwrite the next time you need to save a number.
