Still a stupid dialer - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

What good is the dial pad unless you have your contacts phone numbers memorized.
I dont get why I cant just open the phone and dial someones name on the key pad and it starts suggesting contacts? Even my old non smart phones could do this.

Definitely one thing I'll miss coming from HTC Sense. The smart dialing feature is amazing. I never ever open my People app.

Maybe someone patented it and Google does not own or license the patent?
That or they don't care.

I definitely think theyre afraid of patent trolls or something.
I like AOSP in most cases but this is one thing that is frustrating

It's actually still in the OS and isn't that hard to do. You don't even have to go into the contacts list or dialer.
Step 1. Click the Google bar at the top of any home screen.
Step 2. Start typing in the contact's name.
Step 3. Select the contact and tap the phone number to call.

Not the same thing... first of all, searching that way doesn't only show contacts, shows a bunch of other crap you may not want and the contacts aren't even listed first. Second of all, using the dialpad to just type in the name is *much* quicker than doing it on the full keyboard.
I agree with everyone else on this thread, it would be awesome to have that back. One thing I'm missing from my Dinc2

I had no idea that wasn't available...I am glad I ran across this thread and also glad I cancelled my letstalk order.

Try 3rd party dialers like RocketDial
The T9 search feature actually can be done in application layer
I did not get Nexus yet, but I am using the i9000 with ICS porting. I am using RocketDial as my primary dialer . RocketDial actually has been optimized to work on ICS . It is definitely the best smart dialer I can find . Smarter than ICS stock dialer at least joking. You can search through dial pad (T9 search) or you can search through text search bar; You can search in name or phone or company ,or email or notes, or websites.. any other field in the contact.
Not sure whether RocketDial works on Galaxy Nexus or not , but you can have a try . Free version is here .

You could always push the mic icon and say, "call blah blah" voice functions are awesome.

How about Dialer One?

Been using Dialer One for 2 years now. Can't find anything better.
https://market.android.com/details?id=kz.mek.DialerOne&hl=en
You can set it up to work the same as a BB dialler. Start tying and it searches across names and numbers at the same time and shows you matching contacts or log entries. There are several UI options too and the dev seems active.

The T9 dialer, aka the one called smart dialer here, is patented technology. Since Ice Cream Sandwich is open software, Google does not implement technologies into it that it is unable to cover with its own licenses. As a result, Android 4.0 does not have it (and likely Android never will).
HTC implements T9 since they are licensing the technology.

Voicedial?
"Call Mum"
*Bam!

Go Dialer also does this. I wish it was stock. Thanks to the last poster. I didn't know that.

Both HTC and Samsung own the T9 license. Google could have asked Samsung to extend the license to the GN, since it is a Samsung phone...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T9_(predictive_text)
Incidentally ICS and all other versions of Android uses predictive text, just not using a numeric keyboard.
Also, for some unknown reason the search bar at the top of GN does not search across the call log.
I also noticed that typing in 0189 brings up all my 01895xxxxx contacts, but typing in 01895 asks if i want to create a new contact. It appears the search is only on the first 4 characters.

the feature is present in SMS
when i wrote 1st number it gave me suggestions
why they cant use it in the dialer while it is used in messaging?!!!

Google Voice voicemails in Phone app

During the Nexus/ICS unveiling in Hong Kong it was mentioned that while using Google Voice, all voicemails would be shown in the Phone app (alongside missed and recent calls).
They made note of a new API that allows all voicemail services to "plug in" to this functionality.
Have they not enabled this yet for the Google Voice app? I can receive voicemails through the GV app, but they do not show in the Phone app.
Maybe it's something wrong with my setup?

I didn't even know they announced that. My voicemails certainly do not show up in the call log. Although, it would be pretty cool if they did.
hey that's a good question, what happened to that feature? i watched it at the event and it looked awesome. your voice mail played right inside the call log. i havent even heard anything about it since then...

Yeah, the GV stuff really could stand to be more fully integrated with the OS. For example, wouldn't it be SWEET to receive SMS via GV and then have an option to just send those messages to the default SMS application on your phone? At the moment, there isn't really any good/friendly way for 3rd party apps to interact with the GVApp. +1 for more GV OS integration!

True, but all replies to the original incoming SMS will be sent from the cell number and not the Google Voice number.
From what I understand the ability to integrate voicemail into the phone app exists in ICS already but the carriers or an app has to write code to make it happen. So yes if google chose they should be able to use the API they wrote into ICS for GV and integrate it...I for one hope they do, having to go to GV for voicemail suks.

Really popular in Japan, Apple added it to iOS for Japanese users and it was enabled through apps that require jailbreaking in non-Japanese devices and became rather popular from what I understand. They're kind of amusing and fun to use occasionally.

Well emoji is just Japanese for emoticon. Android has always had emoticons built in, albeit Android themed ones. What's so special about the standard Japanese ones?
Maybe I don't understand cause I don't really use them at all...I usually use the simple =D =P kind of ones or try to creatively word my sentences to put emotion in it.
Well Now they are iPhone compatible so you can send them to and from iPhones and there are many more then android.

ah, so there's no way to send them from the stock keyboard yet without 3rd party support? a bit lame.

You can by going in they keyboard settings and downloading the emoji dictionary. Then when you type stuff like sun, star, heart, smile the icon shows up.
3rd party SMS apps such as chompsms, go sms, handcent have had emoji support for awhile now.
They leave a lot to be desired.

Samsung Galaxy S3 (Telus) Red Underlined Spell Checking Missing..?

A week or two ago I switched from a BlackBerry to a Samsung Galaxy S3. One of the features that I was used to with a BlackBerry for 5+ years was the red underlining of misspelled words that could be selected and presented with a bunch of choices for the correct spelling. I find the predictive text feature makes too many mistakes and slows me down too much when typing so I want to have this same functionality on my S3. I thought I would have that feature from reading this prior to making the switch:
The URL here states:
"To fix misspelled words more easily, Android 4.0 adds a spell-checker that locates and underlines errors and suggests replacement words. With one tap, you can choose from multiple spelling suggestions, delete a word, or add it to the dictionary. You can even tap to see replacement suggestions for words that are spelled correctly..."

This feature/option is absolutely no where to be found on my Telus S3. I have read that Samsung removed it, and that in order to get it back I have to do some crazy 'hacking' mentioned here. While I do have my S3 rooted (it was easy to root) doing what is suggested in the post above seems very difficult and risky... has anyone tried what is mentioned in this post or does anyone know of another way to get the 'red underlining' spell check feature on a Samsung S3? Something via a 3rd party keyboard would be fine with me, but I've tried 4 or 5 so far and none seem to have this feature.
Any suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Grab the stock ICS android keyboard and use that instead of the samsung one. You can find it on the play store.
After that use the language settings to make it the default keyboard.

almost certain samsung's website lists spell checker as a feature
So CM10 is available for Telus SGH-I747M? Hmmm, I'm pretty new to the Android scene. I assume it's going to be a lot of work switching myself over to CM10... I wonder how well Light Flow would work on CM10 as well. Bah I guess I have a ton of reading to do.

It is available, but in a preview state. Lots of people using it as a daily driver, but there are still outstanding issues that could hold you back. Flashing it is not too difficult, just follow this for any ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1739426
Not sure about Light Flow, never used it. But depending on what you're using it for, CM10 does in include a few more LED customization options over stock, notably color and pulse rate control on a per app basis.

CM10, at least, is nowhere near complete so it's hard to say what the final camera will include. The most recent update included a massive amount of camera improvements, and I'm sure there are more to come.

Any update on the status of spell check?
Is there no way to incorporate spell check into the Samsung Galaxy S3?
I've searched for hours trying to understand why there is no spell check on board the S3. Some people say it is a keyboard function, while other's say it is a ROM function. If it is a ROM function, can you please point me to a ROM which does have spell check. Thank you.

I could be wrong and this is my first post but with the telus carrier anyways the spell check is there but it's in a weird location. If you enable Predictive text which one of the options under the samsung keyboard settings and than actually click on predictive text you will get a whole pile of options which has spell check, word completion next word and all that stuff. Hope this helps if not o well.

i like the look of this dialer and it is very fast but please add contacts into it like exdialer
Thanks for the feedback. I don't really see a value in implementing contacts because stock contacts apps pretty much cover everything. I very rarely open the Contacts app itself. Can you suggest any scenarios where you use built-in contacts screen for something?
great app
Hi,
This is a great app I think this will be really useful. I know its very often and unusual for people to use it in landscape mode but maybe you can make the dial pad smaller in case people use it in landscape mode because it almost cover the whole screen view.
Instead of putting both phone and contacts app in the home screen I would probably just put this one.
Regards.
Thanks for the feedback! I will work on the landscape mode in the future version.
Hello!
Can someone post free apk for me, please, I can't see it in Google Play, guess is not "compatible" with my phone

I can't seem to find a dialler out there that does besides the stock one.
Sent from my SG3
It's kinda an old topic but i hope you're still working on this.. I have a Galaxy S3 that came with android 4.1.2 and i like the stock dialer but i missed the T9 function, as it was more natural for me to search "Papa" instead of dialing the number to search for it. Therefore i installed your app and tried it out, and even though it does include T9 support, it only shows the "default" number asigned to the contact, and nothing else, even if i tick the settings for matching numbers too, and try dialing the number.. and it won't let me search through aliases either.
That wouldn't be as bad, you know, just uninstall and move on... However, It seems to have affected my stock dialer, as I can't no longer dial the last numbers of the phone to search for them. I mean, before i could just dial 172 and it would bring up the contact i want to call, now it won't. I can only search for one phone number of each contact (the default one) and for the rest i have to go to the contact list. Just what the hell happened here and how do i revert it?
EDIT: Nevermind.. I tried installing / uninstalling again and it's back to normal... Though I still have T9 support on stock dialer that will only search for default number.

Question Google Messages

Hey all,
I got my Fold4 a little over a week ago. The version of Google Messages on my Fold3 has a few additional features that are missing on the Fold4. The feature with which I'm primarily concerned is the reminder function. On the Fold3 I can long press on any individual message within a conversation and a little clock appears up at the top of the app. Tapping on the clock gives me the option to schedule a reminder to respond to the message. There is no such feature available on the version of the app installed on the Fold4. Anyone else missing this? I want it back.
I could be wrong, but I think this was a Samsung Messenger feature and not Google Messages. I just tried it on my S22 Ultra and Fold 4, neither worked in in google, but the long press both worked in the Samsung app.

I'm looking at both phones right now. I appreciate the input but, yes, you're wrong.

Copy that! In all fairness, I wasn't aware that this was a feature until tonight lol. Kinda disappointed I can't get the extra features in google too.
I'm pretty sure I've figured out the explanation now, but it still doesn't make good sense. The version installed on my Fold3 is "messages.android_20220822_05_RC00.phone.openbeta_dynamic" whereas the version installed on my Fold4 is "messages.android_20220822_05_RC00.phone_samsung_dynamic." The menu icon has changed from the Google Account Profile icon to the typical 3 dot button. When using Messages with the phone closed (just the front cover display), the conversations are shifted down lower on the Fold4's version, making it easier to reach the top conversation without using two hands. And there are a few other minor but convenient feature changes. But none of these changes should necessitate the removal of reminders. Screenshot of the reminder button on my Fold3 is attached.

I've also noticed the fold4 specific changes. I hate the new wasted space on the contact menu. I wonder if we can install the Fold3 apk on the fold 4.

I tried and was unsuccessful. I'm sure the Samsung-specific version of the app will be updated and fixed fairly quickly. Not sure what your talking about with respect to the contact menu. What the heck is the "contact menu?" If you're simply referring to the message list on the cover screen, I think the design/layout update makes sense. I can now reach the top conversation with my thumb when using a single hand.
Yes i'm referring to the messages list. I think It is a terrible design choice to force people to only be able to see 6 text messages at start. This should be a checkbox option.
I've hadn't have any issues sending timed messages. I know in the Google Messages version, after typing out your message, press and hold down on the send arrow and it lets you set a specific time to actually send the message.

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about setting reminders for individual messages within a conversation. You're talking about scheduling messages to be sent automatically at a later time.

I disagree. It's a much better design. You can easily scroll down if you want to see more conversations.

My apologies. I misunderstood. The closest thing I could find to what you are looking for is in relation to the app itself and not individual messages within the conversation....

Take a look at the screenshots I shared earlier in this thread
Uninstall the app and download the Google beta version from app mirror. Done and dusted.

It has to be removed via ADB, as it's a bundled app. Admittedly, I haven't yet tried that.
Use adb appcontrol. It's free and you can just disable it. It's a windows app.
Google finally fixed this issue with the latest version of the app.
