Any new dialers that fix the ** break issue?

Since I upgraded to a WM6 build (robmayer B7 5.2.190

for the Apache/6700, there is no way to press the star (*) key twice without the phone screen creating "p" or "w" characters. The double-star string is a necessity to get into typical office voice mail systems.

I have seen references in existing threads to the "** break" issue being experienced by new dialers. Anyone create an updated dialer-only install that fixes this issue?

Otherwise, quite glad I upgraded to WM6. Thanks for the build, robmayer.

Thanks.

i don't know which dialer robs rom has, i have been using the bluefrog dialer for a while with no problems. may be an option. tiermann has even developed a program to make your own skins for it.

I use the mobile vista dialer. I just tried it and I can dial **.

Might work like that on all the dialer skins that arent able to redial or call 911...

i've heard good things about the eTen dialer. i'm using the touch dialer from helmi's kitchen, it works with **

Thanks. That is right - I did install the PPC_Visuals_Mobile Vista... dialer and the star-key issues are non-existent.

I think I will try the eTen dialer after all. The Windows Vista dialer is making my phone crash when I push "mute" or "notes" during a call. Complete crash - call stays active but key presses are ignored. The Notes function is critical for jotting down a number while checking voice mail.

yah its a little buggy when you install in from the cab. Its so much better if you put it in the kitchen as an oem.

Im not sure what version you were using but I checked out that post again the other day and he has a new version. Not sure if that would help if you like the appearance of it. Its definatly one of the nicest dialer Ive ever seen.

reeg420, would you please tell me where to find the newest Eten dialer Cab or OEM.

Thanks
