How can i write down a number while talking on the phone? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Exactly what the title says. I'm running aokp m3 and i recently found a little icon to the right in the dialer to add a contact during a call. Problem is i don't always want to add a contact, just save a number temporarily. And if i press it, my mic also mutes. So the person i'm talking to can't hear me.
Any easy way to do this?

A pen and piece of paper should suit you well.

I just add an entry to my calendar or start composing an email. I suppose you could find some kind of notepad in the market.

I had a similar problem and solved it with a free note app from Market.

Well. I suppose you always have a pen and paper even on the subway, for instance or walking down the street. I guess trolling is all the rage nowadays.
On topic. On my old nokia whatever i wrote in the dialer remained even after ending the call. Not the case here. So if someone tells me a number on the phone i have to memorize it and dial it after ending the call.

SMS app, email app, any notepad app, a tattoo gun and your arm.
Edit: if you absolutely must use your dialer then just use the "add to contacts" button to save it before you end the call.

I wasn't trolling, I was being serious. I have to take numbers all the time, so I keep a pen and a pocket notepad on me. If you find taking numbers down on your phone to be a problem, carry a pocket notepad and pen on you.

The reason i wanted to use the dialer is because every time i exit the dialer during a call my microphone mutes automaticaly and i can't ask/confirm with whoever i'm speaking with.
And this doesn't happen to me often enough to warrant carrying a pen and paper all the time. + i would most certainly forget them anyway either home or somewhere else.
Thanks for the replies, guys.

I think you have a software issue cause my mic does not mute like that. I just copy the number and paste it into a draft text or email for later.

Call writer app will do the trick

With call writer you can easily write down the number as a text note and save it.When you click the number it automatically dials it and you can also save it.

Calls from wife go straight to voicemail

It seems like I'm getting calls from everyone except from my wife.
I am on a rooted/CM7.1.0/Droid Incredible and she is on a stock Incredible. We are both on the same Verizon plan.
When she calls, it rings 3 times for her and then to Voice mail. It never rings on my phone. I have checked
I have and use Google voice for voice mail but she is calling my Verizon number.
The "Send calls directly to voicemail" box wasn't checked. I have deleted her contact in my phone and my contact in her phone and it still goes straight to voice mail. I can call her and other people can call me.
Any ideas?

Dude, you would get so much money on ebay for that phone.
The only thing i could think of is mabey google voice thinks your wifes number is spam. If you go to google.com/voice and hit the gear icon on the top right, select settings and then the calls tab. Uncheck global spam filtering save the change and then see if that works.

Update:
Formatted everything and "upgraded" to Pons CM7.2 Incredible builds (12192011).
All is working great.
Ha ha, you probably got hacked... Lol
Edit:
To clarify things, guys, he stated that he 'only uses google voice for voicemail'...
This means she is calling his Verizon phone number first... Which, he has something called 'conditional call forwarding' setup... So, even if google voice were set to block her, as spam, it would still have to dial his handset first... And actually ring(or be ignored).
To my knowledge, i haven't seen a way inside of Android to block callers...
Which is why i jokingly say, you got haxxed...
I bet if you flashed a clean install of cm7 again, it would work fine
If you long press the end call button while in a call, you are given the option to put that number on a black list. You could have done that without realizing

If you have Face to unlock enabled, and you go to settings, lockscreen, improve facial recognition, another person can add THEIR face and both your face and their face can unlock the screen. I guess it's not really improving the system with how you look in different environments but compares every picture it has of you until it finds a match.
If you make an outgoing call with Google Voice, the display and call log will show the Google relay phone number, not the contact phone number. That was handled correctly on my Galaxy S3 on Verizon.

The S-Pen is way too sensitive, the phone registers strokes and taps from over 1/2" above the screen.
(I've tried whacking it on a hard surface, and holding the button then touching the screen. Not brave enough to pry off the button and tweak the pot).

I was wondering what the hell those numbers were. I just noticed that today and had no idea where those numbers came from! Is that a system problem or a google voice app problem?
If you go to the the gallery from the camera app by clicking the little icon in the bottom left then if you try to go to the entire gallery by clicking the gallery icon on the top left corner the phone takes you back to the camera app instead of the gallery app as it should. It is actually very frustrating.

S-Voice not speaking your text msg + Vpoice dialing issue
2 items I have noticed:
1) If I voice text someone, S-Voice will confirm the person's name BUT not speak out the message before asking if i want to send it.
2) When trying to voice text someone who has more than 1 telephone number in their contact info like Work, Home, Mobile, S-Voice will often (I can't say as yet if it is everytime) state that the person has more than one number asking me which one I wish to use instead of defaulting to the mobile number.
What I can say is S-Vopice over BT has never worked so well for me vs. what I had with my GNote 1 using Voice Talk.

Are you sure it's not AT&T's Smart WiFi app doing this? Make sure it's turned off.
I don't have this problem on my stock unrooted phone, but I remember on my Note 1 being surprised that the WiFi was always on, even when I turned it off, and it turned out this app was the culprit.

This is what I do. "Send message to John Smith's mobile. Meet you at the bar." Be sure to say "mobile" (you can either pronounce it mo-bill or mo-byle Then it'll automatically select their cell number. She'll respond back and when you're ready, say "yes" or say "send".
You can also say "Send message to John Smith's home..." It'll select John's Home # but of course, the message won't be received, I don't think, unless their home phone has a feature that receives text messages...
Thank you RexEscape

S Planner Tasks Do Not Sync To Google Calendar
This is not really a bug.
While events created in S Planner flawlessly sync to the Google Calendar, tasks do not sync.
In gmail app, while looking at the content of an email, swiping leftwards to go to the next email often results in just the title of the next email loading. Sometimes can take quite a while. If I go back to the inbox and click on the email entry I want to look at directly it loads fine.

Yup, same to me.
Add in there that if you have a contact's name that is in the format of Salutation LastName such as "Dr. Who" or "Mr. T" or "Ms. Parker" with no first name, s-voice doesn't properly pronounce it when it tells me "Calling Dr. Who". Specifically, Dr. is "Drive"... now that's just silly.
Another s-voice issue, response gets slower the more you use it. When I first started, I'd get answers back quickly. Now it takes 10s. I should go clear its cash I suppose.
Only reason I'm sticking with it is because it actually works unlike the offering from google (which seems to dislike my accent; works fine when others have used it.. I had the same problem playing with friends' siri implementations).

Google Voice Texting

I have a couple questions about GV. Installed the GV app on my grand daughters tablet (wifi only, no phone). Used her mothers cell# to get her GV number. I unchecked the cell number, so all calls go to Google Chat.
1. I can text, no problem. Question here, is there a way to empty trash from the GV app? I know I can on a PC, but can I only open trash in the app, is there no way to delete, not even one at a time?
2. I assumed if I called her new GV#, set to "Do not Disturb", the call would go to her Google Voicemail. Well, it rang 6 times and went to the mother's cell voicemail (with that box not checked). Is there a way to use the GV number for just leaving a voicemail (to be transcribed to gmail)? I don't want to mess with the mother's cell or that voicemail.
Sadly there is no way to delete/empty trash from the app, but creating a shortcut to her (request desktop site) Gvoice trash from a browser is the easiest way to go about it. Just delete her moms number so that Google Chat is the only option under "forward calls to"

Actually, for deleting the conversations, 1 by 1,get to the main screen in voice, that lists all your conversations, long press what one you want to delete, it'll give a list, delete being in there. Also, from each conversation, there's a trash button on top left. At least, this is how it works on mine. Lemme know if I can help any other way

No problem deleting one at a time, question is "emptying the trash". Seems you need to do that on a PC (and it's not that easy to find there). You can get to trash, but all you can do is "undelete it" from android, no "empty".

my old favourite wont work I dont know if its because I am on the perseus kernal etc or its a samsung/hw thing

Yes. Auto recording is very handy if you handle a lot of incoming calls and aren't prepared to remember to press the record button.
Sent from my Galaxy Note 2 using Tapatalk 2
Okay, let's take this one step further.
Calls must be recorded automatically, then uploaded to the cloud automatically (or on a schedule).
I use Tasker to record my calls to seperate folders. One for incoming, one for outgoing.
I like the "backup to gmail" app that sends my SMSs, MMSs and Call Logs to Gmail automatically. Pity I can't get my calls uploaded the same way. Ideas?
I have Dropbox and FolderSync installed, but I haven't played enough to see if this is an easy solution.
Then you guys must be involved in a profession which requires auto call recording! I for myself would never install anything which will record calls automatically.

Call recording has been an amazing tool for me in many areas:
- I can record calls with my nurse/doctor and have all the important details regarding mess or schedules handy. I'm part of a drug trial and not only does this help with confirming details, but since the drugs have had a negative effect on my concentration and focus, it helps me catch mistakes that I have may have made in the call or while taking notes.
- it's a great tool when on tech support calls. ESPECIALLY when companies like Asus try to **** you around.
- helps to avoid billing problems later down the road when your utility/cell phone/cable provider gives you a hard time about a previous call or when they "don't have a record" of a prior call to them about a credit that might have been due.
- I take customer orders over the phone and its easier to record and note after the call than while the customer is ringing off product codes. LOL
- I've had a few calls which would have been difficult to jot notes from while speaking, so call recording is always handy.
Bonus... If you're ever in a he-said-she-said moment, recalling the recorded conversation can make all the difference in the world in ending the debate
Whoa, lots of points, nice. Some of them I used to face too, like the he said she said thingy. Asus? Lol, even in Canada they are creating problems? Jeez! I'm glad that I'm ditching them gradually...

[Q] Why is dialing such a pain?

Dialing is a multi-step process that really needs to be streamlined. I looked on line for apps but the only ones that were well reviewed were far too intrusive. I can see some access being necessary but wanting the rights to make calls and send messages without asking me? That's going too far. The program that comes with the phone that allows us to use voice dialing has horrible recognition rates, at least for me, Is there any way to set up true one touch dialing on the AT&T Samsung Note 2 using the supplied Samsung apps? If so, I can't figure it out.
Take a look at the direct dial widgets. Not sure if that Is what you want but might help some.

How exactly is the dialing process cumbersome? I click on my phone icon and it takes me either directly to my dialer, or directly to my contacts, or what I use the most is directly to my phone logs.
