Number formatting in the dialer - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Hi,
I'm using CRC's 13.4 WM6.1 release, and I'd like to have the numbers in the dialer formatted according to local rules (Israel).
We have three main styles of numbers here:
0xx-xxx-xxxx (10 digits starting with 0, 3-3-4)
0x-xxx-xxxx (9 digits, 2-3-4)
1-xxx-xxx-xxx (10 digits, starting with 1, 1-3-3-3)
The 1- numbers are OK, and the 10 digits numbers starting with 0 are OK, but the 9 digit ones show up as: (0xx)-xxx-xxx, and I'd like to see (0x)-xxx-xxxx.
Is there any place this can be customized, or is this just an annoyance that I'll have to live with?

Honestly no ne can answer this... cause it doesnt matters...
just read it as you know.
cheers keep it up!

i think the reason the dialer's do this is beacuse they're american and they have strange phone number codes and stuff you just have to put up with it, it doesnt make any difference to the call as all the numbers are there like que said

It's a known problem with many American ROMs on other cell phones, although many treat numbers beginning with 0 as un-parseable and just give up.
I know the formal releases (from Orange, for example) work, but perhaps they've built their own dialer.
Oh well.

Clicking a number to call in IE

Hey all,
Apologies if this has been asked before, I've scoured the search function but couldn't find it.
A feature I really miss from iOS and Android (I've had both) is where you look up a restaurant or something on your browser and it recognises the telephone number and underlines it.. so you just tap to call.
Right now I have to copy the number (or memorise it), go to the phone function and then create a new contact, paste the number and then call.
Is there an App or something that gives that functionality in WP (I have a HTC Titan with latest updates)?
Thanks,
K

I've just downloaded and set it up, and its useful (same as Chrome to phone on Android) but not what I meant. Essentially if I'm browsing the web on my phone, I want telephone numbers (on the web page) to automatically open up the phone program. All this is on the phone, not my PC.
Cheers
How are the numbers being formatted on the web page? IE9 I think looks for specific syntax.

Like (us of a numbers) 601-555-1234 just as you would dial them. The os pickes up a set of 7,10 or 11 numbers as phone numbers and dumps them to the dialer. Its the way it should have always been (nice)
I have Samsung Focus and running 7720 and I just tap the phone number on the web page and it take me to a screen asking if I want to call or store number.

Also in IE try changing from mobile to desktop version to see if it makes a difference.

is the quoted phone number showing up as a link for anyone? Its not clickAble for me on 8107 with mobile or desktop setting. Also tried international assist setting and it had no effect as suspected.
One feature I miss from previous OSes is the lack of ability to paste a phone number in the dialer. It is not always the case that we are able to successfully dial a number by tapping on it.

Does not work for me, neither do national (Swiss) or other European numbers. I usually have the opposite problem with iOS etc.. i.e. any sequence of numbers (including serial numbers) being interpreted as a telephone number
419-685-5468
419.685.5468
(419) 685-5468
(419) 685 5468
(419)6855468
419 685 5468
4196855468
Do any of these show up as clickable? If so post your OS version
None are clickable on 8107 here.

All but the last one were clickable for me (version 7720). I attached a screenshot of what I get with the first 6 numbers. Gives option to call, and edit number beforehand if necessary.

Same results for me too. HTC Titan ATT 7720.
Interesting that it is working for you guys. I tried changing my region settings all to USA and now it is working was previously set to Canada.
Weird... report that one to MS... i would think it would urk a lot of people. I live in the US.
Not clickable to me. im using the dft v3 rom on my 7 Pro. How i have managed to pick up numbers from the browser is to copy the number, create a new contact and then call to the number. Leaving the name field empty makes that contact appear frist for easy calling and deletion after the call.
So bottom line here would be to get the paste option to the dialer. That is a WAY better solution to call numbers from the browser, than have the browser identify all numbers as phone numbers.

That phone number shows up as orange text that is clickable. I have my phone set to mobile view priority.

All but the last one work for me also. Plus the web page has to be 100% loaded before they are clickable.
I Did some more testing. The only value that seems to matter is your region format setting (second from the top) inside the region+location settings. Make sure it is set to united states. Everything else can be whatever.
Anyone have the ear of someone on the windows phone tem and could pass this bug on? There's no obvious reason why the Canadian region should not have the same clickable phone links as we generally use the same formats as our friends to the south. I would chalk this up as an oversight, Canada usually gets forgotten.
Also tested Australian, and it is not working for the above numbers, but then the Aussies use a different number format iirc.

There are other dialers you can download that you can past phone numbers into. Give one of those a try.

[Q] HTC Sense 4.0 - Similar numbers mix up

I thought HTC would fix this issue in Sense 4.0...but they dont seem to have done it still...Anyone have any workaround?
Here's the problem -
If I have two contacts with similar numbers,
Say Mr. A with a number 1234567890
and Mr. B with a number 2234567890
HTC Sense is not able to distinguish between the two. It offers to link the two contacts and even though I dismiss this request, thereafter if I send a text or call Mr. A, it will show Mr. B or vice versa.
Please help!!!
What about if you set one with your country code e.g. +44112345678 and the other without e.g. 2212345678. It might be enough to confuse Sense that they are different.
Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
That won't help either... It's designed to match just the last few digits specifically to ignore the country code or IDD it calling cards prefix.
Even old school Nokias used to do this.
It's annoying when you get that one in a million match, especially if they are commonly used.
You bet...and in my case it's a husband and wife who have similar numbers, so half the time i message the husband but it shows the wife's name when its been sent...i have stopped sending cheeky messages to this friend of mine lest they get delivered to his wife by mistake!!!
By default the One X will mach tge last 7 digits. If ur stock, i dont think u can do anything. But if ur rooted, u can increase itto 8 or 9 by changing the following in build.prop:
ro.phone.min_match.HTC__J15=7
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Where HTC__J15 is the CID number (yours might be different) & 7 is the minimum number of maching digits (change it 8 or 9 as you wish).

Caller name not showing due to the area code

Hey!
I am having a issue with An-Droid's latest ROM with HTC Sense 2.1: I do not see the caller name because of the added area code.
Let's say I have a contact named 'John' in my contact list with a number '55 555 555'.
When John calls me, the number has a country code added to it, so the call is coming from: +372 55 555 555
And because of the '+372', it doesn't display the name because it can't find it from the contact book.
So... the main issue here is: can I solve it without manually adding '+372' to every damn number in my contact list? And why doesn't it work in the first place, it has worked in other ROMs.
Anyone...?

[Q] Dialer autocomplete not working properly

Hello, I'm kind a new to Galaxy Nexus, to whom I switched from Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9000). I used my SGS with 4.2.2 Xylon ROM 2.4.1, now I'm using Galaxy Nexus with Cataclysm ROM.
When I used SGS when typing on the dialer it gave my suggestions from my phonebook:
1. based on the letters coresponding on the numbers on the dial pad
2. based on the numbers of a phone number saved in the phonebook, no matter if I start from the beginning. For example if the number is 12345678, I could start typing 678 and still get the number as a suggestion from autocomplete.
Now with Galaxy Nexus the dialer suggestions are:
1. based on the letters coresponding on the numbers on the dial pad (same as above)
2. based on the numbers of a phone number saved in the phonebook, but only if I start from the beginning. For example if the number is 12345678, I must start typing 123 to get the number as a suggestion from autocomplete, I can no longer type any part of the number and still get it as a suggestion.
My question is: is this 4.3 issue, has the dailer been changed since 4.2.2, or is it a ROM issue. I do not have permission to write in Cataclysm ROM thread that is why I’m asking here.
No one has to comment something? At least share how it works for you.
I don't want to be misunderstand, I'm not complaining about the ROM. It works great for me, never had any issue at all. I just notice this one thing that is different and that I really miss. That's why I'm asking to share how it works for you. Thanks.

[Q] Contacts not recognized when first name contains Umlaut (ä, ö, ü) or ß

Hi,
if you want to phone somebody - let's call him Jochen Altmann - you can dial J-O-C... (5-6-2...) and the contacts get checked for matches. The more letters you type, the less possible hits are displayed. This also works when you start by typing the last name A-L-T...
Strangely, this does not work if the first name contains an Umlaut (ä, ö, ü) or a German ß. If that is the case, the contact won't be displayed. E.g. if I wanted to call 'Jürgen Altmann', neither typing J-Ü-R... (5-8-7...) nor A-L-T... makes the contact show up. The contact is totally ignored, as if it didn't exist.
This problem does NOT appear, if only the LAST name contains ä, ö, ü or ß.
Also, the problem does NOT appear, if the first name contains any other special letter like é.
The problem seems to affect a number of people, not only my phone. And it seems to be a Fairphone issue, not an Android issue.
Any solution available?
Best,
smartn

This is really an Android problem. Also because the search only matches the begin of a word you can not search for "rgen" for example.

1. No, as stated before, this is NOT an Android problem - it did not occur on other Android 4.2.2 mobiles that I've tried.
2. You're right, the search term has to match the beginning of a word. But this is the way it works, no matter what specific letters the search term contains, so it's not a bug but the way it's meant to be.

I did not look at the code I tried entering a few name containing special chars and once I was able to reproduce the problem searched the web for an answer:
I found the following thread from 2009!
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=3732
Thanks for your effort, _keesje, but after flying over a good portion of the 235 entries on the website which you linked, it seems to me as if they were dealing with another bug in the search function: the problem that a contact search is only limited to the names, so you can't search by company etc.
Surely a problem worth mentioning, but not the least helpful in the matter I'm dealing with - or did I miss anything? If so, please provide the number of the entry.

In the meantime, Fairphone has replied to my direct request:
"Thank you for your email. Our development team is aware of this issue, and we hope to include a fix the future update.
Cheers,
Rick"
I hope so, too.
But meanwhile, I'm still thankful for any other approach...
