Can't find setting - Phone/Contacts - Treo Forums

edprice3 · 10-02-2007, 08:34 AM

I recently had to do a hard reset, the upgrade the firmware on my 680. I used to have the phone app set so that when on the main screen, if I typed on the keypad, it started searching my contacts immediately. Now it dials. I know there's a preference somewhere that I set before, but for the life of me I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Is your Treo from AT&T? The phone app with AT&T does have a menu at the bottom which allows you to select your contacts and search for them, but I'm not aware of being on the actual 'phone tab' and being able to search contacts.

Yep, it's AT&T. When I first set it up, there was that choice. From any of the phone screens, except the dial pad screen, if I started entering a name, it took me to the contacts page and searched...

Never mind, found it. It's under display settings...

Which setting is it? I'm new to Treos, and this is something I may have overlooked.

Edit: I actually found it after posting this message. Without you originally asking the question, I probably would have never known about that feature.
