Official SPB Mobile Shell 3 Breaks TP2 Dialer's Contacts Options Thread; fixable? - Page 2

Hmm, actually, Spb's claim is probably right... they probably AREN'T making changes to the dialer at all. They ARE, however, taking control of API's that control the :MSCONTACTS function, and they're not functioning properly on the TP2/TD2/etc. I'm nearly certain that's the issue here. Unfortunately, I don't know of a good way to fix it from our point of view.

that's too bad there's nothing in the registry...

MS 3.5 has the same issue. It disables the left soft (Contacts) key on the dialer.

Thanks edubb521... I was just going to ask about MS3.5!

Its clearly because SPB uses it's own contact management system.
Those soft key options are all TF3D dependent, which is hard to use when it is disabled.

Don't expect a fix.

I'd buy your logic except that the buttons still use Windows Mobile standard apps when TF3D is disabled AND MS3 isn't installed/enabled.

Yup, same dialer issues as in 3.1 on mine.

this is crap... ms3.5 is cool, but still broken dialer options. so angry! we need to get more people to complain this time around since they'll be actively paying attention to 3.5 threads more. go to spbclub.com and complain on a ms3.5 thread.

apparently ms3.5 breaks opera mobile 9.7 now... i thought my phone was just acting up last night, but i also read this in a thread on spbclub.com. when you load opera 9.7, it just sits at the loading screen.
anyone else have this issue? is there a workaround?

I tried to register on that site and it just wont work.

Same problems on 3.5 with the dialer contacts and bluetooth.
