aTAKEphONE released

Nice. Like it much better than the stock dialer. One question: Is there any way to make aTAKEpHONE be the default dialer? For example, pressing the phone button would bring up aTAKEpHONE rather than the default dialer.

Hi,

Problem is in ome HTC devices, and in Android 2.2, the on screen PHONE button is HARD-CODED to launch the built-in app, so aTAKEphONE nor any other 3rd party app can't take over...

Not disagreeing with you, just wondering why it seems to make a difference. I'll test again with the stock dialer, Dialer One, and aTAKEphONE and let you know what happens.

Please do - I'd be very interested to know.

Shimon,

Love the "x: in the numbers for the extention since all my contacts were formatted that way. I did start to convert them to the ";" that android uses. Does TP still recogonize the ; too?

Hi,

Yes - it should work ok with ';', too.

Thanks

Hi,

LOL.

In aTAKEphONE settings, "General prefs" - sound option.

Thanks

Hi,

In aTAKEphONE "Settings" - "Find/Dial tab" prefs - "When search empty..."

Thanks

Maybe I'm missing a setting, but I'm hoping to do the following: After I search and dial I would like for takephone to automatically clear my search when I hang up. It's a little annoying to have to manually clear the search then start another search or call. Is this possible?

When you return to aTAKEphONE, you should see the last search, but in (...).

This means you can just start typing a new search/number - the previous one will automatically be erased.

Any feedback from users that have an HTC phone with Sense? Is it worth it to get if I don't make that many phone calls? Sense has a favorites widget. Is this better than that and worth the purchase?

And can I use it as a short cut to text message?

 

[meyerweb#CB]

What I like about aTakephone is that it lets me search on fields other than name (company, in particular). So I can enter "IBM" and fine all my contacts who work at IBM, which can be handy if I don't remember someone's name.

What I don't like is that I can only use T9 to search, and not the full alpha keyboard, The developer is apparently working on that.

It also integrates your favorites, call log, contact directory and dialer in one compact app, which is handy.

Takephone was one of the most powerful apps on the old Palm OS phones. If Shimon continues to develop this, as he did the Palm version, it will become a killer app.

 

[Kevin OQuinn]

This might be a dumb question, then, but does this app have a widget or do I have to keep the app open and up front to use?

Does it aggregate Facebook contacts or any other social network like Sense?

I don't do much calling but I do a LOT of texting. Would it make sense for me to have this app do you think?

How do I hide the keyboard? And reappear?

How do I hide the keyboard? And reappear?

Tap the keypad and slide downwards.

To restore - tap the Find/Dial tab and slide upwards.
