Help One touch phone book

Hello
My Dad now has my HTC wildfire S but is struggling with it because of the phone book. He is struggling with scrolling down the phone book without calling somebody up every time. Is there a way to disable this?
 
I don't think so. That is how a touch phone works. But he can use the dialpad to find the person he wants to call. Just use the numbers as letters (No 2 has letters ABC) and after a few keys, the name of the person should pop up. After you press the contact person and it should call
 
I have the same problem with the contacts but can't use the suggested find method because only numbers come up,the letters are greyed out,what am I doing wrong?
Thanks

THe T9 dictionnary is probably not set. Go into settings/preferences of the dial pad, there should be a T9 option somewhere and sorting mode should be Name matching first
It's been a while since I have used the wildfire S with the original rom so I'm not sure if it would be showing in the same way but I know it's possible because I would only use my dial pad in that way
 
Thanks for your quick reply, but I can't find T9 option anywhere both in contacts setting and main settings.

Thanks
