Edited by Thor, Rushell, Eng
Hello and welcome to VisiHow. In this video, we are going to show you how to set up speed dial for a contact in the phonebook of a HTC One M8.
Steps
- 1To begin, turn the phone on by pressing the Power button located on the top of the phone.

Advertisement - 3To unlock the phone, swipe the screen upwards.
- 4Once the phone has been unlocked, we will see the home screen, and at the bottom we will see several icons. It is one of these icons that we now need to access, as we need to open up the phonebook.
- 5To do that, we can use the first icon located at the bottom of the home screen at the far left-hand side. It is an icon of a phone.
- 6Pressing down on this icon will open up our Phonebook.
- 7We now need to swipe to the left twice.
- 8This should bring us to the "PEOPLE" section. In this video tutorial, we want to demonstrate how to set up speed dial for a contact. To do that, we need to choose a contact as an example.
- 9In this example, we'll choose our friend "Terry". Choose any contact and press down on their name to enter their page or contact card.
- 10Now we need the icon at the top right-hand corner of the screen. There are three small white squares in a vertical line.
- 11Press down on this icon, and it will open a menu.
- 12Then we need to press down on "Set speed dial".
- 13Now, we need to enter some information.
- 14The first option says "NUMBER".
- 15Just below that it says, "Not assigned" in the gray box, so press down on that gray box.
- 16A small window will appear that says, "Select number".
- 17We have one number, so press down on that number. If there are multiple numbers, choose the one desired.
- 18For "LOCATION", it also says "Not assigned", so we'll press down on that gray bar.
- 19Now, we have the speed dial locations that are available and those that are taken. When it talks about setting up speed dial, it means when we open the phone application to call someone, and we see the keypad, we can use speed dial. This means we can just press down on one key, and it will phone the person that key, or number, is connected to.
- 20For example, we have "2: Stan". When the keypad is open, and we press and hold down on number 2, it will automatically dial the number for "Stan" because we have connected "Stan" to the number "2".
- 21The numbers 4 to 9 are available, so let's choose number "4" by pressing down on it. Choose any number that is available, perhaps one with a certain significance for that individual contact.
- 22Now, we're going to press down on the word "SAVE" in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen.
- 23"Terry" is now connected to number 4 on the keypad. We'll demonstrate how that works now.
- 24Press the back arrow in the top left-hand corner of the screen.
- 25Now we need to swipe to the right two times.
- 26This will bring us to the "Phonebook" again with the phone keypad displayed.
- 27Now, we're going to press down on the number 4 and hold down on that number.
- 28It is going to try and call "Terry", as we can see. We have canceled the call because we don't actually need to phone Terry, but we see how the process works.
- 29This concludes our tutorial on how to set up speed dial for a contact in the phonebook of an HTC One M8.
