Nexus Dailer -Contact Search Filter - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hey All,
I came from the miui rom on my DHD and one thing i loved about it i am missing in android 4.0.
when going to the dialer, and typing a number, it also did name searches.
Is this possible in 4.0 or did they fail by not building this simple feature?
example: dialing 2539 would bring up Alex from my contacts.
i dont wanne go in my contacts, then search, then call.
just type a few numbers to have it filter my contacts and immediately dial.
Thanks.

I miss this too... I know taht on older androids you can use Go dialer&Go contacts to get this functionality but don't know if work on ICS also I would like use stock dialer design but with this "T9" functionality...

unfortunately no..
this has been the behavior of the stock dialers in every AOSP rom.. very annoying!

Yeah, miss it too, very annoying! Was so much quicker before, having to do it this new way just feels slow and clunky.

Can you not search by contact numbers using the google search bar at the top? Im waiting for a replacement phone so I cant check but I thought they added that feature in ICS.
Mark.

I am currently using Dialer One purely for the T9 search feature, looks like CM9 will have it on board though: http://review.cyanogenmod.com/#change,10843
looks good

[Q] CM6 Phone app vs Stock Phone app

I am rooted and using CM6. If I remember correctly, in the stock Phone app you could start hitting the numbers and while you are typing on the top part, it would start scrolling names from your contact that may be a potential fit for what you have typed. The phone app with CM6 doesn't do this. Is there a way to use the stock phone app with cm6?
No, this function isn't supported with the AOSP dialer. There are probably some dialers on the Android Market that have this feature (though I'm not sure). To my knowledge, there is no way to mod the AOSP dialer to do this.

Hitting the search key allows for this, I never knew it but works quite well. Dialer one might help you too.
As far as typing numbers ... not sure. But names, thus numbers, are shown ...
Dialer one is often recommended though.

I stand corrected. That's not quite what the Sense dialer does, but it does the trick. Consider yourself thanked when I get to a computer.

Thx, I didn't know the search button did the name search in contacts.
I downloaded Dialer One and its just about there. It does do the name typing but it doesn't search if I type a number i.e. if I have a contact Elizabeth with phone 517-555-1212.. if I start by hitting "3" Elizabeth comes up but if I start by hitting "5" it doesn't.
But Dialer One seems pretty neat.. gonna try using it..
thank you

Subtle functionality

Please help.
I have been using CM7 and lately the BCM version of ICS. On BCM im missing functionality that i used to have when stock/CM7. I don't know what this functionality is officially called so hard to search for it etc. Its things like:
-On any app where there's text (not just text message editior/text editor etc) you can select it and then tap the selection to copy text to clipboard. (exists in CM7)
- On web browser just tapping a phone number brings up dial prompt, tapping an address goes straight to maps and searches for it. (wondeing if former is part of Sense, later might have been ICS??)
Anyone know the official names for this stuff and whether it will ultimately be supported in BCM?. I am perhaps niavely thinking CM9 would incvlude all functionality from CM7??

You are naively thinking this is the right subforum to post this into.
Very helpful.
Any constrcutive comments?
Cm9 is a work in progress, it will get more features, but copying all cm7 features wasn't the objective, they wanted to give a more polished presentation this time..........for such features, i say you wait for aokp ROM to do that, coz those guys pack the ROM with teeny tiny features, you can search for more info comparing cm9 aokp.....

Swype with Google Voice....

Hi
Anyone know how to tell Swype Beta to use google voice instead of the fire "Dragon Dictate" as Jellybean has offline voice typing and is far superior.
Just a shame the stock samsung keyboard with its swipe isnt as good.
Anyway, so far only way Ive found by leaving swype as default is to pull down notification bar when Im about to do voice typing and just select google voice from the input method.
I would just prefer to press the mic button though...
Thanks

Jaytt was asking about ways to tweak it to do so, not whether or not it would officially support it.
Swype is not open source correct?
If not, could one develop an app that overlaps the voice button on Swype provides that launches Google Voice instead?

Maybe you can try KII Keyboard. It's pretty good but it doesn't have the shortcuts. It uses Google Voice though. Check it out!

If one likes Swype but HATES the terrible predictive speech recognition of Dragon Go, yes it does matter.
That being said, I guess we can't do it, so thanks to the poster who brought Kii to our attention; it'll do, though it's not as fluid as Swype for keyboard swyping.
Temporary Solution
Sorry that I'm a little late getting in on this thread, but I have a temp solve.
(Disclaimer ... for anyone interested: I, too, use Swype, religiously, because it is way faster than any other gesturing keyboard in Android - I type a lot of text, using a Note 2, and Swype is constantly helping me break all my speed records. Dragon, however, is a pain, for one, because it is not as stable as Google Voice, often giving me grief when connectivity is sporadic; but also because the software is slightly more bloated than Google Voice, causing the annoying "fade in" graphical interface which drags down on its listening response time. This lag is noticeable when you are "Swyping" at 80 words a minute when transitioning to speaking texts suddenly takes 4 times as long as "Swyping.")
Sooooo...​
A temporary solution (despite the extra key presses) is to...
1) Long press on the text window
2) Select "Full Editor" from the pop up menu
3) Tap the "Google Mic" icon​
And that's pretty much it. It is, unfortunately, an annoying solution, but for me, it's working faster than Dragon on the average. Hope that helps someone, particularly JoeyDVDZ

Joey,
Appreciate it, but I don't believe that this will work on many devices. I think it is dependent on what program you use for SMS/MMS as well....

Try this:

Just pull the notification bar down when you have swype up, and choose google voice typing.

This was bugging me too - but then I actually tried google voice typing...not so great so far, but i'll keep trying
this trick doesn't work for me... maybe it is not for CM10?

Not having Google Voice with Swype finally bothered me enough that I have been working on such a thing! I have a proof-of-concept working fairly well on my phone (Nexus 4), and now I'd like to find someone with a rooted S3 willing to try it out there. It requires root to be able to inject keystrokes into an app. If you have a rooted S3, please shoot me a message at [email protected], and I'll discuss it with you some more.
(I've posted a similar message in the S4 section. Since these are two of the most popular devices, I'd like to see if, and how well, it works on them before pursuing it further.)

Yes, it's built in to my Nexus 4, but it's not as good as Swype at getting the word I want. I've tried them all, and I always end up coming back to Swype. Google's voice typing is better than Dragon Dictate, though, so this is the best of both.
There is a way

there is way but you must be rooted and have xposed installer installed, there will be this app called googleofflinevoice. Download it and restart then just double click on the dragon go icon and google voice will appear. Have fun!

[Q] Suggesting contacts when typing in phone numpad

Hey guys, I hope you can help me out.
I just got the Galaxy Nexus and upgraded to the stock 4.2. I am very happy with it but there is one small snag.
I previously had the HTC hero and it had an option to intuitively search your contacts when you are typing stuff in the dialing pad. I don't see this in the vanilla Jellybean. It's really strange as this seems to me like a must-have function and I can't think why they would have omitted it.
I searched all the options over and over and found nothing. A friend of mine has a custom jelly and it has it.
Please tell me if I am doing something wrong or if this is by design for the vanilla version.
Thanks in advance!
yes, vanilla JB doesn't have that unfortunately. but, if you are rooted you could try replacing the stock dialer with the one with T9 capabilities - you could find it floating around the board, though i haven't tried yet,
or you could use custom ROM, that's what i did.
Download an app from play store.
I personally like DW contacts.

You can also use exdialer from play store. Great dialer with themes. No root required.

By Design who needs T9 when you have Google Now? Just swipe up from Navbar and say call Contact X. Just about every custom rom features a T9 dialer so that is worth consideration.

I need it because I'm bulgarian and naturally my contacts all have names that Google Now has a pretty hard time recognizing when said aloud.
I'm thinking about a custom rom but for now I'll go with the dialers suggested in previous posts.
I still think that this option is something that any dialer should have and find it pretty puzzling that they should omit it in the stock one. My guess would be patent issues.
Anyways, thanks to all of you for your suggestions, you've been extremely helpful!
Cheers,

Different dialer

Hi all,
Is there an alternative to the stock dialer for the SIII? Couple of things I don't like about the stock one if anyone knows any fixes for it that I'm not aware of.
When using the keypad to enter the name or number of the person you want to call, my old phone's dialer would suggest people or numbers based on recent or frequent calls so I can punch in a few letters or numbers and who I want to call would normally be at the top of the list and i can just click the name and it would call. The SIII doesn't seem to do that.
Also, this dialer seems pretty sluggish sometimes when working with dialer screens (dialing the chosen number, opening pull down menu, going between tabs, etc.).
Thanks,
Ho'okani

Yea man you type the first number(letter) it pulls a name and next to that name it shows an arrow pointing down with the list of names for that letter. Works great
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Thanks. Knew about the arrow thing but just looking for something more intuitive. When you open up the list of names there doesn't seem to be any logical order to it and the ones at the top are usually names I rarely call. You would think the most used or recently called names would be at the top. Plus my phone seems sluggish when trying to open that list of names.
Thanks,
Ho'okani

Any AOSP rom for that matter, the dialer on AOSP roms are really good. But if you want to stay on the default rom, I'd +1 exdialer for its customization options and speed. I think there are modified stock roms with the AOSP dialer, but I'm not too sure/can't find them at the moment.
