Is there anyway to add a shortcut to "Favorites" in the dialer?
In one location is my most common dialed numbers and also frequent dialed number, so i'd like to add a shortcut to it on my home screen.
Thanks!
Why not go to shortcuts>direct dial and choose you contacts I'm not sure that there is such a way to have a shortcut to the favorites..
*hold the screen like adding a widget* and go to shortcuts and find direct dial and I should allow you to pick a contact
And if you don't like having a whole bunch of icons then you can put them in a folder and name it "favorites" if your on adw idk if anything else does that.

Long press and go to folder. There should be Starred Contacts within that menu!

This is correct but I think direct dial may be faster but more work in putting it together.

Oh no question! But it might depend on what someone wanted to use it for. Dialing or messaging, but then I guess a direct message would be faster to. Damn, you win !! lol

Yeah i have done this, but there's extra steps to call.
1. Click on Staredfolder,
2. Click on name,
3. Click on number,
and to text
1. Click on Staredfolder,
2. Click on name,
3. Click on message,
4. select number from popup (if more then one number on contact)
Also there is not a list of frequently called numbers...
If there was a shortcut to Favs, it would be:
1. click on favs
2. swipe to call/text
Yeah I can click on the phone, then click on the "favorites", but was looking to save steps
Thanks again!

Did you not look at my suggestion of making a folder of direct dials and messages?

1st of all, I'm on the ACS ICS
After the last time I had an issue, and had to do a nandroid restore, I realized none of my contacts are being sent/stored with he cloud. I lost all contacts I had entered into my phone since the last backup. What am I missing here?

You have to choose store contacts on Google each time you add one not phone. When you choose phone and wipe it, you wipe you contacts. Choose export contacts to Google (your gmail) now to have them there next time.

yeah...that its NOT even an option. It simply saves to phone, ONLY. There is no "settings" under the contacts "menu" to change it either

If you have a valid gmail account and are logged in (can you dl from the Market?) When you save a contact it should ask save on phone or save on google.

In contacts, hit the menu key and export, just export them to sd card for now.

Is there any chance that it once prompted you to choose Google or Phone, and you selected Phone AND checked 'default'??
I selected Google and checked 'default' and it no longer prompts me- it just saves to to Google without asking.

Well, YOU posted it, so what should I be using, oh great wise one? lol
As far as "default" perhaps, but you should be able to switch back at any point, no?

I want this fixed, and it to work the way it was designed. Even the iPhone apologists agree this is one of the greatest advantages of the Android phone design, and now it doesn't work for me

Until you figure out how to clear your defaults and how to export them to your gmail. Go into settings>applications>manage applications>all and see if contacts, logsprovider, phone or dialeractivitytab have the option at the bottom to clear defaults. If you have not set any it will be greyed out.

NOPE!!!
No defaults in ANYTHING. I checked anything pertaining to contacts, phone/storage, and dialer.
I have lost sooooo many numbers because of this

Stop shouting man. Well then do as I suggested and export contacts to the sd card before you flash a new ROM. I would Odin back to stock EC05, create a contact and see if it asks where you want to store it. If the Google option is there then root, flash your ROM and redownload your apps or restore apps with Titanium but do not restore any system data.

Hold your finger over the text message and you will get the delete option. You can also do this over the whole thread to delete that thread from a person.
No when u go to add a recipient u can choose from a list of recents. But theres no way to delete that list

I can't replicate this issue, but I'm not totally stock, either. Please advise:
ROM/Kernel version? (IE: I'm using OsiMood 2.01.30, and the Cranium Kernel)
Stock Messaging App? (IE: I'm using GO SMS Pro)
Thanks

I think he's talking about when you add a recipient and it lets you choose from a list of recent recipients that you have texted.

Thanks, I'm still trying to replicate the issue, I'm not seeing it. I sent a text message to a friend, then:
New text --> Add Recipients --> Recent
Their name was first
I canceled that message, deleted the text I sent them, then:
New text --> Add Recipients --> Recent
Their name was no longer there.
I also did:
New text --> Add Recipients --> Recent --> Checked a bunch of different names, clicked "Add"
It added all the recipients. I did a long-press on each name, and a menu pops up with options for Delete and Edit, both options worked.
Can you give a step-by-step what you're doing, what results you get, and what you think is missing?
Thanks

I've been using GO SMS but I want to try out the stock Messaging app. However I notice, under the "To:" row, how do I see my entire list of contacts to choose who can I send the SMS to? I can only tap the first few characters to show the name I want to SMS?

Log into google voice from your gmail(assuming that what you used) account.... Or you can always type in "how to retrieve google voice info" in Google

2. Click on "More" at the top of the page.
3.Scroll down to and click "Even More"
4. Scroll down the page to the section labeled "Home & Office".
5. Click on "Voice".
6 Toward the top right-hand side you will see a gear shaped item; click it
7. Scroll down to and click "Settings"
On this page you will see the google number as well as any forwarding number associated with your gmail account.
"Thank me" if I helped
Peace
Having upgraded from an Atrix 4G using Gingerbread to the S3 on ICS, I noticed that I can't use nicknames to select contacts for SMS or Calls? Is this a "Feature" or bug and is there a way to fix it?

I've never heard of it or never used it before. You could ask upndwn4par (he used to make atrix rom's and makes GS3 ones now) and see if he knows anything about it. Good luck
Open the contact and hit edit, scroll to the bottom and click "add another field". Nickname is one of the options.

I have the nicknames in my contacts, but the SMS doesn't recognize them when I input them.

That's a problem with the app then. Seeing as it is on ICS, it could very well be that it needs to be updated. Or perhaps, there's a setting in the messaging app to show nickname instead of name.
You can also try a 3rd party app.

Must have been something that changed in GoSMS from ICS to Jelly Bean. Can't find anything in the settings. Weird because when I search my contacts, the nicknames work.

So why not put their nickname as their name, and list their name as the nickname?

I could do that, but it would be the easy way out.
