For those with a jailbroken iPhone, check out my application that creates speed dials on the iPhone which does not have to launch Safari or confirm the call.

This is a cool concept. Something similar for the springboard back in October at: http://modmyifone.com/forums/showthread.php?p=65307

There's minor tweaking, but I got to upload my own icon and it's only one touch dialing. I'm not a pro like Nate, but I think that you can use this with any Jailbroken iPhone with SSH. You'll have to go here http://www.jonsthoughtsoneverything.com/iphone_apper to create the app. I followed the instructions made by "skihound" from the forum

rennok, looks nice for people who have done jailbreaking.

If you haven't, try mine out at http://zeigen.com/dial -- thanks to Kevin Fox, there are now some default icons to choose from. More icons coming soon. http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/ http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/_3512 iPhone 1.1.3 WebClip hack - Speed Dial on your home screen Mon, 28 Jan 2008 05:30:45 -0600 At 28-Jan-2008 04:18:35, rennok posted:

Hello All

you will definitely like this
i managed to have it all running on ur iphone. u do not need to have a webserver since u already have one on ur iphone.

The instructions:

1- download the package and extract it (will email u the package)
2- click on installer and install Apache
3- copy the extracted package speeddial folder to /Library/webserver/documents

to run it:

click on safari and type http://127.0.0.1/speeddial/index.html (add this address to u home screen to avoid the hassel of typing it each time u need to add a phone number) http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/ http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/_3511 iPhone 1.1.3 WebClip hack - Speed Dial on your home screen Mon, 28 Jan 2008 04:18:35 -0600 At 27-Jan-2008 04:33:56, zeigen posted:

Nate, this is awesome. However, I wanted a version that never sent the phone number to a server or a server log, and I wanted a nice Web front end to use right on the iPhone itself. So I duplicated your approach with the data stream and meta-refresh and have a nice simple version of this up on my site. Just point your iPhone to http://www.zeigen.com/dial/ I have a blog entry up at http://www.zeigen.com/blog/ Let me know what you think of the forms front-end. It just uses JavaScript, so you can view source to see how I'm doing it; I think it's the same method you use. My next step is to add some nice default icon selections. http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/ http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/_3442 iPhone 1.1.3 WebClip hack - Speed Dial on your home screen Sun, 27 Jan 2008 04:33:56 -0600 At 27-Jan-2008 03:59:52, rennok posted:

here's another possibility using just javascript:

<html>
<head>

<script type="text/javascript">
var str = window.location.search;
var icon = str.substring(str.indexOf('&')+6);
document.write('<link rel="apple-touch-icon" href="http://'+icon+'">');
var phone = str.substring(str.indexOf('phone')+6,str.indexOf('phone')+16);
window.location.replace('tel://'+phone,'mywin');
</script>

</head>
<body></body>
</html>

then use a url like this:
http://www.yourserver.com/yourpage.html?phone=2128675309&icon=www.yourserver.com/icon.jpg

@sahuquet: if you run my javascript and bookmark the data: URI as explained above, you will accomplish the same thing as Nate's script without going over the air (and without giving him - or me - your phone number). Additionally, the version that is up now specifies the icon image in an apple-touch-icon link, so that it's only loaded once - when the home screen icon is created. http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/ http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/_3201 iPhone 1.1.3 WebClip hack - Speed Dial on your home screen Fri, 25 Jan 2008 08:54:54 -0600 At 24-Jan-2008 19:16:35, sahuguet posted:

This is a great hack.
Is there way to prevent the page from reloading everytime.
Can we use some caching directive in the HTTP header to force Safari to cache the page and not fetch it every time you click the on the speed dial icon?

just tried running the script from the iPhone itself; doesn't work because the btoa() function is apparently missing. I suppose if you wanted to you could write your own base64 decoding function, but since you're going to be syncing with the desktop anyway, this is probably good enough.

I should come up with a better filename than unpackpn.html, which pretty much indicates the opposite of what the script actually does, but since it's there I'm going to leave it for now. http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/ http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/_3008 iPhone 1.1.3 WebClip hack - Speed Dial on your home screen Thu, 24 Jan 2008 15:15:25 -0600 At 24-Jan-2008 14:40:33, xfrosch posted:

I have replaced unpackpn.html with a new version that takes both phone number and icon image parameters. You invoke it with an URL like this:

http://carroll.jk.googlepages.com/unpackpn.html?pn=12128675309&iu=http://foo.com/image.jpg

Again, this is all javascript; you can put it wherever you want. You can run it from your desktop with a file: URL if you want to. The file you specify for the iu parameter MUST be online, though, so that Safari on the iPhone can see it.

Thanks to Lee for pointing me to the apple-touch-icon header.

Nate, you are too cool for words! Thanks for the idea!

Here's the script to do this on your own server. It's not Nate's script, as I don't think he shared that, but it's my own basic PHP/Javascript concoction. It's fast because it doesn't load the image every-time you hit the page, only during the bookmark. Careful, you're on your own in regards' to XSS.

ok, I have put up a page to encode phone numbers into bookmarklets, so you don't have to go over the air at all before dialing. Somebody else please try it out to make sure I haven't screwed up the instructions below (which are Mac-specific; I only use Windows when someone is paying me to do it, so you guys are on your own).

bring up Safari on your desktop, and load
http://carroll.jk.googlepages.com/unpackpn.html?(number)
where (number) is the phone number you want to dial (leave out the parens). When it's finished loading and running the script, you should find a tel: URI on the address line, with a message in the browser window complaining that OS X doesn't know how to cope with tel: URIs.

Hit your back button. You should see an URI beginning "data:text/html;charset=utf-8". Bookmark this puppy, and sync your iPhone.

on the iPhone, go to Safari and load the bookmark you just created. Verify that it starts dialing the number you encoded, but cancel at the prompt. Make sure that the data: URI appears on the address line, and save it to your home screen.

This is all self-contained client-side Javascript (and pretty simple Javascript at that); you should be able to save unpackpn.html and run/modify it from wherever you have online storage. I haven't worked out custom icons for bookmarklets yet; if you do, email me at carroll.jk@gmail.com. Also email me if you have questions or need help; I won't be checking back here much.

I got the idea for bookmarklets from Garth Minette's excellent Belfry SciCalc, which is all wrapped up in a bookmarkable data: URI. http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/ http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/_2999 iPhone 1.1.3 WebClip hack - Speed Dial on your home screen Wed, 23 Jan 2008 21:10:47 -0600 At 23-Jan-2008 17:35:20, xfrosch posted:

I wound up putting 'location.href="tel:+12128675309";' in a script block on a static page, which if you hardcode the phone number requires no server-side processing. If you put the script block at the end of your doc body then you can include an IMG tag to load a picture of whatever you want in your icon. If you set width=100% in the img tag it will stretch the picture across the icon. (works for me, YMMV).

If you don't want to leave the icon image up, first put up a no-script page including the image. Once you've bookmarked that to your home screen, you can take it down and replace it with another page with the script in the <head>, which will load faster.

The script-in-body page has what some might consider an advantage: the ability to publish your phone number in a format that your iPhone-owning friends can save directly to their home screens. If you make the image a picture of you, it'll be that much easier for them to use.

You ought to be able to script a static page to unpack a phone number from a query string, but I don't have that coded yet. http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/ http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/_2998 iPhone 1.1.3 WebClip hack - Speed Dial on your home screen Wed, 23 Jan 2008 17:35:20 -0600 At 23-Jan-2008 04:43:33, sjlinwarsaw posted:

Hi, this is cool and I would like to put a similar page on my own server, can you give as an example of the script? Or is it simply something that returns the tel://number directly as the text of the page?

Yeah, the way the hack works is that the URL you typed in will automatically pop up that call box when the page loads. So when you hit the icon in your home screen, it calls up the same page, which automatically brings up the call box, so you can hit Call.

The process is a bit indirect, I'll admit, but it works. http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/ http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/_2985 iPhone 1.1.3 WebClip hack - Speed Dial on your home screen Wed, 23 Jan 2008 01:29:45 -0600 At 22-Jan-2008 23:26:37, fightoffyourdemons posted:

smitty:

tel://(phone number) does indeed work to place a call, but after hitting 'cancel' on the call box, the URL remains the one of the page you're currently on, so you can't add a web clip for it. http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/ http://cre.ations.net/blog/post/_2983 iPhone 1.1.3 WebClip hack - Speed Dial on your home screen Tue, 22 Jan 2008 23:26:37 -0600 At 22-Jan-2008 21:46:42, smitty posted:

what about the URL tel://12345678910

i can't test the home screen, i'm still on 1.1.2, but i can bookmark that in safari and it works fine. to get the icon, you might have to surf to a page with that picture, then type tel:/ url, hit cancel, then add web clip
