Clearing Dialer Defaults? - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Inc
CM7 #19
So for some reason, some actions when going to dial use the stock dialer, and some use dialer one. I want them all of them to use DO, but I can't find the way to clear dialer defaults... it remains unhighlighted in the manage applications entry.

same problem here. can't clear the dialer defaults, either.

odexed blue, cant get VVM

I tried searching that thread but I only find posts referring to the blue theming of the vvm app, none that talk about getting it to work. and I assume since he went to the trouble to theme it that it must work for him, and since there is a lack of posts about it not working it must work for almost everybody...
but I cant get it to work. I went through the update profile and PRL, and it just doesnt work for me, I always get those texts from 9016 saying to call in this weird number to listen to my voicemail. it still works if I just dial my own number and listen so I dont know why it tells me to call that odd number.
anyone have any ideas? Ive been keeping with the updates recently and would like to continue to stick with that rom but I really want my vvm back...
Are you using a 3rd party messaging app like gosms or handcent?
If so that is what may be causing your issues.
Copied from
Make sure that no 3rd Party Apps are affecting Visual Voicemail.**Two applications in particular,*Go SMS and Handcent*have been causing issues with Sprint Visual Voicemail.*·*********
If you have*Go SMS*you will need to disable the "disable other text notifications"*·*********If you have*Handcent, you will need to go into Handcent, press menu, settings, application settings, default messaging applications and then check "disable".**Now…..*
1.*******Go to dial pad and hit *38 Talk to cancel any call forwarding.*
2.*******Power off the device and remove and replace the battery and power back on.
3.*******Update profile by hitting Menu – Settings – System Updates – Update profile**(try to leave yourself a VM)
4.*******Go into the visual voicemail application and compose a visual voicemail message (Hit Menu*àCompose) of 5+ seconds and send [email protected].
Test to see if visual voicemail is working again,*
thanks, Ill give it a shot in a minute, phones booting up from the latest 1/15 update.
I just completely got rid of gosms and tried it and they are back, thanks.

[Q] Dialing conference call numbers

Does anyone know of a way to dial into a conference call from the calendar entry? I need to be able to tap on a number in the calendar entry and have it dial the number, wait, then dial a passcode and # to enter the conference call. It's something the Blackberry does very well. I know you can store a number in contacts with a pause or wait in it but I get a lot of conference call invites and they all have different passcodes so it would be impossible to store the number ahead of time. I've tried every combination of putting p, w, ";" or "," in the number in both the location line and in the body of the calendar event. I can always select the first number to dial it but it won't dial the passcode. I have to back out of the dial and look at the calendar again and try to memorize it and then go back into the dialer and manually enter the passcode. I'm using the email client on Blazer 4.0 to access my Exchange server calendar. Anyone found a way to do this? Trying to ditch the Blackberry completely but Android does lack some basic productivity functionality. Thanks.
I have same issue. Can't believe there's been no reply to this issue.
I have found a 'kind-of' work around.
1) Installed CopyNPaste
2) installed Go Contacts EX
THEN, when COPYING the 'number...ext' into the copy buffer,
Then using CopyNPaste to dial, and having the default app being the Go Contact EX app,
THIS WORKs and dials the phone number, then (with,,,,, pauses between the phone number and the extension) waits, then dials the bridge extension.
But when attempting to simply select the 'number....ext' from the calendar appt, Android defaults to using the default 'phone' app and only uses the beginning 'phone#' part of the 'phone#,,,,ext' that is displayed\selected in the calendar appt. Tried clearing all defaults against the 'phone' app. still uses the stock phone app to dial a number in a calendar.
This shouldn't be THAT big of a problem. But apparently is.

How on earth could I use a different dialer?

It's been an hour, I'm trying to find out how to use a third party dialer, like exDialer or Touchpal on the Note 2! I've tried a dozen of them and ultimately the call ends up in stock dialer.
I've checked the Application manager, and there is no default set on either Phone or Dialer storage app! I even froze the phone and dialer storage via Titanium, and that did close the stock dialer but still it won't allow me to use any other dialer.
Is anyone here who are using a custom dialer successfully? Kindly inform me then.
Thanks in advance.

You can initiate a call with a custom dialer but the call will always go back to the native dialer, for example in the midst of the call you have to enter thinks on your keypad. That had always been the case for android OS. In my experience

Hangouts Calling! How to disable LG Dialer/incoming call notifications?

In leu of the newly released Hangouts app with Google Voice integration and Hangouts Dialer release, I downloaded and tried out the new Hangouts Dialer just now. It's awesome! However, I'm noticing that if someone calls my standard number or my Google Voice number the stock LG dialer intercepts the call and makes me answer it through the stock interface.
So now I want to permanently disable the stock LG dialer apps safely. I used Titanium Backup to freeze the "Answer Me" app but the calls still come through the stock dialer. Anyone know what else is required to freeze/uninstall to get this to go away?
EDIT 1:
I partially figured it out. In order to freeze the stock dialer app from intercepting calls to your Google Voice number, freeze the following 3 apps...
Answer Me 2.0.0
Phone 4.8.24 (VOICEMAIL)
Phone/Messaging Storage 3.5.16 (SMS/MMS/APN)
This solves the issue for your Google Voice number or if you've forwarded your standard number to your Google Voice number. However, if you don't have your standard number forwarded to your Google Voice number, calls to your standard number will still come through the stock dialer for some reason...
EDIT 2:
I also noticed that if you click on a phone number in the phone's browser (Chrome in my case) or Google Maps, it still opens the phone number in the LG dialer app, even though the app is disabled. So to make a call in Hangouts you need to copy the number then paste it into the Google Dialer. This obviously isn't a great solution by any means. Hopefully we can figure out a way to make the Hangouts dialer act as the stock dialer across everything within the phone.
Oh and info on the new releases:

Yeah, it's obnoxious. It's got me missing the AOSP ROMs on my Nexus phones. With AOSP you can just set the Hangouts Dialr as the default phone app and call it a day.
My understanding is if you stop forwarding your number to your cell phone on the Google voice website, it will stop ringing your cell number and the only ring will be Hangouts. You may find you also need to remove the now largely uneeded google voice ap, it conflicts with hangouts... NOTE: if you do this, you will not receive GV calls if you do not have a good data connection. You also wan't dial out on GV if you don't have a data connection. Since they aren't going to your cell number anymore.

[Q] Default Apps (Dialer)

Is there a way to change the default phone dialer to an alternate one from the store?
I have downloaded an alternate dialer, you can dial a number or look it up in contacts list, but as soon as it starts to ring (or just before) it switches over to the 'normal' dialer. It seems pointless having an alternate one if this is not default all the time
Can I bump?
