From: Sven on 30 Mar 2010 19:37 Maybe you should tell folks what kind of device you have. I have several where the 1 key is a hardware button. Obviously you will need to remap a button to dial something, if you don't have hardware # keys. Again knowing what device you have helps define what buttons you do have, and likely the process for re-mapping one of them.

From: Beverly Howard on 30 Mar 2010 19:41 How married to the idea of a "single button" are you? windows mobile has a number of poorly documented key options... for example, assuming you have a cursor pad, Assign a number to speeddial 1 position. From any other app or the today screen; <green><down><ok> will dial speeddial 1 If you are already on the phone screen, <down><ok> will dial speeddial 1 obviously <down><down><ok> will dial speeddial 2 etc, etc. The following _may_ work... depends on your os/phone dialog boxes. Create a shortcut (plain text file with the extension .lnk) containing; [InternetShortcut] URL=TEL:3215551212 ....and assign that shortcut to a hardware button... When that shortcut is launched, my phone asks "dial yes/no?" but the OK or cursor keys don't work in my (oem specific) 2003se device... if you can use the cursor pad ok button to answer the dialog box, would be a two keypress option. You can test this by entering TEL:3215551212<space> in a note or word document and tapping the resultant hyperlink. Hope this is of value, Beverly Howard

To the OP: If you have a hardware button setup to activate "Voice Command" like a lot of new phones do then press and hold that button which is normally the talk button. When the microphone shows up on the top part of the screen say "help." It will then give you topics you can get help on and dialing a number by voice is one of them.
From: Peter Mairhofer on 31 Mar 2010 08:54 Hi, I have a Qtek 2020i (aka HTC Alpine, xda 2i, mda 2i, ...). No hardware keyboard, except the following keys: * Address book * Calendar * the 4-way wheel * Volume up-down * Voice Recorder * Camera * Red and green button for the phone Of course, I tried remapping the function "quick dial a specific number" to any of the keys above but I was not successful.

How does this work? I tried so but was not successful... I have a Qtek 2020i (HTC Alpine, xda2i, mda2i).

This is what I already tried but the prompt was the problem ... I was not able to wo press OK with keyboard buttons. > Hope this is of value, > Beverly Howard Thank you, Peter |
