Internet calls (sip) widget ? - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hallo, can somebody help me with idea? I like and use only the stock application in settings/call settings/ internet call settings. The main issue i have is i cant find widget to open directly this option. Can anybody give me some easyest way to reach the option for enable 'resieve incoming calls' ? There is no stock widget.

Is the SIP Switch Widgetwhat you're searching for?
You can find it here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.siebeck.sipswitch (unfortunately I'm not yet allowed to post links...)

how to set 3party dialer as default

I installed a new dialer on my Arc. Please advise how to set it as default, thanks.
go into the applications menu in settings and find the stock dialer app.. select clear defaults, next time you select to royal a contact it will ask you which app to use.

my problem is I couldnt find the stocked dialer in application menu...
Not 100% sure, but it could be a part of the contacts app.. try clearing defaults in there..won't do any harm if I'm wrong!

This worked! Ive been trying unsuccessfully on my MT3G without any luck. Doing this fixed it all. Thanks for the suggestion!
Which third party dialers do folks recommend? I'm really missing the HTC dialer which will lookup numbers if you start typing in either a name or number, the SE xperia arc dialer is just pants.
I am using " Go Dialer", it work just fine with intelligent dialer and possible to change theme outlook
Was using dialer one for a while, and it was great. Then the app got updated and all of a sudden required permissions for just about everything on the phone - didnt trust the author, so uninstalled.
Currently using... um... dialer2, which from the name i'm guessing is a response to the bloatware and permissions creep of dialerone. It's a nice simple fast t9 dialer, it's free, and it works great.
Touchpal dialer works best for me.

Thanks folks! let me check these out!
Go Contacts is the best and I think I tried all. They have different themes and the default Go Theme goes well with Arc's dark blue colors. It will be even better if someone can develop a theme for this dialer which will make it look exactly like Arc dialer.
@piercewei
Did you manage to find the stock dialer app in the end? Which one is it? As I'm also having trouble finding it. The contacts app on my phone doesn't have clear defaults button enabled.
Tried to set rocketdial as default instead of "contacts" .. doesnt do the trick.
Cant find any "default" dialers at all on xperia arc.
How do you guys really do when you change the dialer? do you live with the stock dialer at incoming calls and during calls?

I'd really want to know the answer to this question! I'm struggling with the same problem with Xperia Pro.
The Sony Ericsson default dialer sucks, but I'm unable to make a third party dialer THE DEFAULT dialer.
Any help would be useful!

[Q] any possible way to have a shortuc or widget to hidden menu / *#*#4636#*# ????

*#*#4636#*#
how to create a shortcut or widget to this menu?
store it into your contacts and add a widget to this contact.
I have tried that , unfortunately it try to ring this "number" so it doesnt work this way.

Try with this code
*#*#7378423#*#*
There's two separate hidden menus
*#*#SERVICE#*#* (or) *#*#7378423#*#*
*#*#INFO#*#* (or) *#*#4636#*#*
If you want to change the SMS Service Centre number, you'll need to do it through the INFO menu.
So noone knows how to create widget / shortcut for those "hidden menus"
???
It would be nice to have that instead of "dialing the combination"
thanks
You can try an USSD checker app but not sure if it will work because it normally starts with an asterisk (*) and ends with a hash (#).

Do a search for 4636v2 on Google Play. There is a shortcut that you can download and put on your homescreen that will do this.
Download ' Hidden Menus ' from Google Play store.

Combination of apps to use lockscreen+widget for voice dialing?

Hi Guys,
Trying to find a way to combine a "widget locker" type app with an either voice dialer or personal assistant app (like Andy, Eva) etc to make calling/SMSing safe while driving. I'm experimented a little but have not found a satisfactory combination yet. Do any of you all already use something like this?
Thanks!
I just set one of my lock screen shortcuts to the voice search command and tell it who to call

[Q] How to default Contacts to Google Contacts?

I go to Contacts settings and set to display only Google Contacts. As I know this should have defaulted new contacts to be added into Google and you no longer need to choose which phonebook to store it from the dropdown menu, but it doesn't work on my GPro.
Any1 knows how to solve this? Thanks in advance

While adding a new contact u would get an option to link that contact to ur google account(save to cloud which can be synced by using ur gmail id) or save it on phone memory only or on sim.. Is this what u are asking? Try saving a new account and watch out for these options.

I'm aware of the options, and it is the option dropdown menu that I want to default to Google. It's annoying having to change it to google everytime I want to add a new contact.
As a matter of fact, I can live without using the phone memory at all!

Looks like this phone really locks down the contact book. You can't even edit your own profile info once you set it. At the top of the contact list there's an entry called "ME." I went to edit it and put my home landline phone as my home phone, then added my cell as a mobile. The home number is greyed out and you can neither edit nor delete it. What kind of nonsense is this?
I'm also looking for a solution.
Clearing data/cache from Contacts and Contact Storage from either Apps settings or TitaniumBackup do not work.
Really frustrating. I'm having a hard time moving my contacts from other phones which can't sync with Google.

Try to use rainbow contacts (get it from playstore) if your other phone had bluetooth on it..
Is there any solution for this Contact problem that Google can't be the default but always the Phone ?
I was hoping upgrading to kitkat would change this, but it didn't.

[Q] QSlide - where can I get it?

I'm using an unbranded firmware (10i) and it doesn't come with QSlide and neither is it available in the Update Centre.
Where can I get it?
I cant find anything to do with QSlide in system/app or system/priv~app, any other location or apk name?

It's the function that lets certain apps pop-out such as messaging or the tasks app etc.
It has a little icon on the app that lets you make it pop-out but it's not on any of the unbranded firmwares that I've seen.
Is it activated in your quick settings menu? Go to edit and tick it's check box to activate.
Sent from my LG-D855 using Tapatalk
ok, all the apps are enabled in qslide settings but messaging app doesn't have the icon to activate it.
Neither does phone/file manager.
however, if I disable them all, the calendar/phone apps still have the option.
Weird.
