Guest jibber Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 ok I know the M3100 has no phone pad software, I've seen tengo, but doesn't that only do Text? is there something available that you can use as a dialler from the touchscreen?

Guest Pondrew Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Woah there, there IS still a phone pad of sorts in the Phone app (you wouldn't be able to call anyone if there wasn't!) it's just that the Phone Pad option is now gone when it comes to entering data... So there's a dialler still, just no dialler type data entry method within messaging/word, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jibber Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 ah HA! now that makes sense, I couldn' get my head around having to use the keyboard to make a phone call... it's been a long week...feel free to ignore me from now on :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest NikLP Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) hehe. No problem :) Congrats on your 4000th post sir. Your 3999th was better! (Spaceballs...!) ;) Edit: Oh yeah, and we need to get that phonepad app back too! :D Edited August 11, 2006 by NikLP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Well look at that! 4000 posts. ;) Make that 4001 :) And I'm with you over the loss of Phone Pad. A very strange move by HTC to remove what Paul (MVP) recently suggested was one of the main selling points of the HTC Pocket PC Phone devices! And now back to Spaceballs! Prepare to fast forward.

Perhaps someone who has previously contacted HTC could email them and ask about getting a WM5 version of the software released for public download? I'd actually pay to get it back!

Phone Pad is most definately already compatible with WM5 upto at least AKU2 as it comes on the latest roms for the HTC Charmer, HTC Wizard, HTC Prophet and HTC Universal. It's anyones guess why it's now been dropped for the HTC Hermes... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wozbacca Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 but the m3100 is application locked! i cant install any non-trusted apps to it! there must be an offline method of doing it do i have to wait for orange to update my simcard before i can get it to connect to the net to do the over-the-air unlock?? im sure i used a cab or pc sync'd app to unlock my c600 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 For research purposes, Phone Pad CAB'd up from the M600 works a treat on the M3100, so who knows why they removed it. (and no i'm not posting the CAB!) I'll discuss more in my M3100 review :) P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Remember that doing so in such a way is probably violating a whole bunch of software licence agreements and probably illegal... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest finisterre Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 (edited) Can somebody please explain for the benefit of those of us who have never had a PocketPC phone? I currently have a C500 and will get the Hermes on T-Mobile when released. I'd taken it as a given that you could dial a number or select a contact without opening the keyboard. Are you telling me you can't? I wonder if the Vario II or the Tytn have it included? Edited August 11, 2006 by finisterre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 Phone Pad is 'T9 for Pocket PC', for writing messages etc. It's not on the SPV M3100 nor the TyTN. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Wozbacca Posted August 11, 2006 Report Share Posted August 11, 2006 you can still dial a number without opening the keyboard, you press the green call button, and it gives you a touch-screen version of the phone number pad. you dont have to open the keyboard out to do anything really, apart from type quickly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest FragMeister Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 "Intellipad" for Pocket PC is an htc application, so i'm not holding out much hope that the T-Mobile Vario II will have it either. :) with regards to copyright issues, as i have this on my compact (infact am using it to type this post), would it be illegal for me to copy the relevant files from the compact and install to the Hermes?

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 12, 2006 Report Share Posted August 12, 2006 You'd almost certainly be breaking the EULA... P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bydandie Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 You'd almost certainly be breaking the EULA... P However, as all contracts (Including EULAs) are subject to the unfair contract terms act 1977, then I would think it very unlikely that any court would see an issue with using the cab between your own devices. I would state though that swapping it between others would be viewed differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 The latest version isn't on devices as CAB, it's a whole bunch of files and registry entries that need to be extracted. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paul (MVP) Posted August 13, 2006 Report Share Posted August 13, 2006 No. There isn't a filename to search for, I made it myself to see if it worked. P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
