Lumia 950 XL :: Call (Speed Dial Number) Without Having To Unlock Phone?
Dec 4, 2015
My former Android phone had an app that was able to speed dial one of 8 people even when the phone was locked. It appeared on the lock screen and was able to dial one of 8 numbers with a single press and swipe. It dialed based on the direction of the swipe.
Is there something similar for Windows 10 Phone? I'd rather not need to unlock the phone in order to dial one of my most called contacts.
It doesn't have to be an app that behaves exactly like this. Just curious how others have efficiently handled speed-dial.
I just received my new Lumia 900 yesterday. Searched the forum for an answer, bot no luck. Question is,can the one assign contacts to the phone speed-dial as on previous phones (in my case Nokia E7).?
Any one know how you unlock the speed dial list? A few of the letters are locked like A for lock, W for voicemail etc. Would be great if I could change them but not sure how?
How do I create a speed dial number? Meaning I press one button and the phone dials (my wife!). I can't find it in the manual and have tried looking under every setting. I thought it existed in the contacts area as an option for the contact but I don't see it there now.
I was trying to set the speed dial function by selecting call settings, then FDN. However it requested for PIN2. What's the default PIN2 for this phone?
When I open my phone app on my Nexus 5 the first thing that shows up is Speed Dial my contacts are on coloured tiles how do I change the colour of these tiles to what I want
Today the dialing features on my relatively new (summer 2009) Storm started going strange. When in the phone dialing screen, if I press and hold a number key with an associated speed dial number, the phone would dial another number elsewhere on the speed dial list (e.g. press and hold "3" made the phone speed dial the phone number assigned to "5"). After removing and replacing the battery and rebooting, the trouble didn't clear.In fact, things got stranger. The phone would not dial voicemail when the "1" key was held down (even though the speed dial list still listed the correct number, etc.) When I cleared and tried to refill my speed dial list, no number keys on the keypad would make the speed dial spring into action. But, pressing and holding the "3" key did make the phone ask if I wished to assign a speed dial to the number "5" as though that were the key I'd been pressing.Suggestions?
After recent update my Iphone 4s is connected via bluetooth to my car,I can dial the number from my car but i have to pick up my phone to listen the call.this is only happning after the update.
Since Yesterday my phone all of a sudden wont dial out. The moment you dial it beeps and says "Call disconnected". All other functions like receiving calls and applications are working. The problem is not with the SIM, I tried it in a different phone and it works perfectly. My phone operator says on their side everything is perfect.
I just found a problem with my Bionic today. I was trying to access my voicemail and had to hit the number 1 on the dial pad during a call to enter my mailbox number.
The number 1 would not do anything during the call. All other numbers worked. If I kept trying to press the number 1 the screen would go black for a second then return with the dial pad. A factory reset did not cure it.
I went to a local Verizon store and the person there told me that this is a known issue and it only happens when the volume is up full. He then said that I have to put the volume down to 1/2 in order for the number 1 to work properly during a call
I called Motorola when I returned home and was told that this is not a known issue - they never heard of it.
Researching on Google and this Forum I have found others that have had this same issue. I have not heard of any resolution yet.
Both Motorola and Verizon Phone Tech Support recommended replacing the phone. Verizon Tech Support was supposed to call me back in an hour after my call with them to see what I wanted to do but never did. I was supposed to keep trying the number 1 after they had me force stop and clear the dialer and virtual keyboard. The problem still exists.
I only have a matter of hours before my 14 days is up at Verizon at which point I will be given a refurbished phone. For some reason I could not log onto this forum today to post this. I just now got in.
Do any other owners of the Bionic experience this? I don't want to replace the phone if they all do it. It's down to the wire now!
I don't know if I'm the only person getting this problem but sometimes while making or receiving a call and the phone press against your face it sometimes dial back the same number on the screen.
I am having trouble to dial any phone number. When I press the dial symbol, immediately it returns the error message "contacts stopped" - "o Contatos parou - in Portuguese".
I already tried to clean the cache and data of all related apps, tried hard reset, and still the same error. What could be possibly wrong? The errors started after I dialed a huge telephone number (XX XX xxx xxx xxx xxx) 16 numbers total. Could it be related to this?
When placing a phone call the Droid Pro seems to dial the number then as connection is being made it automatically ends the call. Then it automatically redials the number and it connects properly. This was acceptable until I tried to use the blue tooth connection in my car. How do I fix this?
I "upgraded" to OS 6.0. Now my BB will not allow me to click on a phone number that I see on the internet and dial it. I have to read the number, memorize it, close the browser, and push in the numbers manually. T-Mobile keeps telling me that it is the webpage that I am on, but it clearly not that. OS 6.0 is quite the downgrade. Can anybody hear any of the lousy notifers that they call ringtones? The helpdesk directs you to buy ringtones from appworld.
I have been trying to click on a several tollfree numbers on a webpage in by browser on by Torch and it does not allow to dial direct..Works fine from a email but not a webpage. Other Blackberry smart phones, Iphone etc are able to just click on the tollfree image and it auto dials the number.Can you tell me if there is something in settings that I must change.url...
I used to be able to hover over a phone number and select "dial". For some reason my new phone won't let me do that. I have to write the number down and dial it manually. I can't even "cut and paste" the number.
How do I set up a speed dial on my iPhone 4s? I am used to the bberry where I just keep my finger on a number in order to dial. This is very useful in the car. How do I get the same effect on iPhone?
Everytime I add a speed dial to a contact it works for several hours and then stops. Then when I check the details of the contact I see there is no speed dial assigned.
I have the T301G Samsung and the only thing I have a problem with is figuring out how to use the speed dial. I have names assigned to the numbers. My old phone all I had to do is push the # button and then the number and send but with this one it doesn't work that way.
I am unable to find the speed dial functions on N900 & the pictures assign to the contacts are usually blur, this is not the case on my S60 third & fifth edition devices.Please tell me where I can download such apps?
Is it possible to assign a shortcut key to my VZW Blackberry Tour for a non phone number?
In other words, I would like to assign the P key to turn bluetooth off/on as an example. I see where the Q key turns vibrate on/off, unsure as to how to program other keys.
As info, I already use the 2 side convenience keys for other things.
I am using a Droid Eris and a BlueAnt V1 earpiece. The BlueAnt offers voice-controlled speed dial on with phones that "adhere to the Bluetooth specification for speed dialing."For example, I should be able to say "Call Speed Dial 8", and the headset would tell the phone what to do. The V1 recognizes my commands (and repeats them), but when it sends them to the Eris, I always get a last-number redial.I suppose that means the Eris isn't fully Bluetooth compliant. Odd for a relatively new phone. Any hope in getting this to work? (and is this the best place to ask?)
