[Q] How to copy a number to dialer and make a call? - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I would like to copy a phone number to the dailer but I cant find out how. I've been searching a lot but I havent found a solution any where.
Does anybody know a trick or app to do this? I'd like to be able to copy a number from any location (mail, text or browser)

Paste in Color Notes and activate, the number will open in dialer.

yeah with the samsung dialer ,if you lose the screen during conversation, its hard to hang up. I need to open up another dialer and call new number then end call.
You can end a call from the status bar. Just pull it down when a call is in progress

If you have a blank screen press the on-off button to restore screen... works for me.

Yes I miss iconsoft as well. I had it on my touch HD and loved it. The stock dialer on samsung is like a joke. Its pretty amateurish.
For full screen caller id search it in the market. There is an app which does that. I use it and like it a lot. Its a paid app by the way ~3.99$
It ´d be a good ideia if we could port HTC Dialer...

NEWBIE Question (YES I DID A SEARCH FIRST!)

Is it possible to change the outgoing font for emails? I send a lot of email for work & sometimes need to get a point across or highlight information. I'd like to be able to change the sent font on my EVO.
Does anybody know if this is possible? I've scoured the settings menu and haven't found anything...maybe I wasn't looking hard enough?
I have Search throughout this forum and nothing.
Thanks in advance.
Nope, using the HTC app it looks like you can only change the font size.
is there an app that might let me do this? (bold text, Underline, Etc...

Go to your call log and press menu > view by.
I know it can get messy sometimes with text messages showing up in the log.
For some strange reason you can't filter it do all calls though.
I tried looking for a better app than stock phone, couldn't find one that hasn't irritating bugs/features... it would be really great if grouping was applied in call log...
There is an alternate dialer called easy dial pro from ISOL which looks like it can do the job, but it force closes on my phone when I start it. Give that a try.

[Q] How can I send an sms to multiple receivers?

Hello,
Sorry if this question sounds a bit... dumb... but I cant find a way to send an sms to multiple recipients.
I come from sgs2 where i could select as many recipients from my contacts as I wanted but in galaxy nexus stock sms app I cant find a way to do that. I have to type the first letters and then my contacts appear.
Is there a way that i missed ??
I'm afraid there isn't any way to access your "list" of contacts and just check/uncheck boxes to send messages to that particular group of people. You have to type out their name/number in the "to" field. But I know a handful of 3rd party texting apps that allow you to do this, handcent comes to mind... GoSMS maybe?
Create a new sms then type some until you can Select one of the numbers, after that at the end of the number and name of the contact you will see a ", " touch the screen there and type some after the ", " and Select the second contact and so on, or download ex dialer wich have way more features and options than stock gapps, exdialer its free and works great thats what i use

Thanks for your replies guys. I've never used 3rd party sms/dialer programs but i'll do now.

[Q] Can't paste number into dialler app?

Copied a phone number to clipboard from chrome browser, couldn't paste it into the number entry in phone dialler app.
Anyone else get this? It's going to be a problem for me I think

Strange! tap and hold the field which you enter phone number and then you'll see a "paste" button to paste. Isn't it like that?

No, it doesn't. It has in every other android phone I've used, including other xperias.

Same here, pasting from Chrome doesn't work. If I paste the number into a draft text message, re-copy it, I can then paste into dialer. Not really a solution, but a work around at least.
so:
Chrome -> dialer = no paste
Chrome -> text ->dialer = fine.
weird!
Just tried the same with Firefox: worked
Chrome on the same webpage: couldn't paste the number to dialer. But double tapping the phone number in Chrome offered me to dial directly...
Might be a problem with Chrome....
Just before someone starts asking: stock firmware, unrooted
Anyone have select text problems?
Magnifying glass instead select option.
For example from Textra and Total Commander text editor.
