Had this problem with my hero as well.
How do you take a number down if you are on a call?
ie if on a call asking for a number from the other person how do you write it down and use it for next call?
On nokias, the number you input stays after you hang up, so you can call, save etc.. But on Android, when you hang up the number you input disappears too!
AM i missing a way to do it (short of saving it to contacts (which i might not want to do), or dialling and hanging up)?
you can tap the number you enter which will dial the number you entered followed by immediately ending the call which will store it in your call history and return you to the original call all in about 2 secs. Not exactly elegant but works.
thats pretty much what i do, but its so silly to do it that way I thought ther MUST be a better way. I mean its not exactly a rare or unusual feature to need, is it? ;-)
I normally use a pen......Have done for a while now and it never fails
This applies to the stock dialer - don't know if it works like this on Sense.
Press Add Call, enter the digits. Now long-press the entered number. Select cut or copy. Then back button to cancel Add Call. After the call is over you can paste it back into the dialer the same way or into a contact.
Just tried, didnt work, no long press, any press just dials the number...
Now you've reminded me of another question:
The software usuuuaaaallly recognises number formats in emails or texts, and hyperlinks them to the dialer. HOWEVER Ive never been able to PASTE a number (copied from somehwere that the software didnt recognise as a number) into the sense dialer. Anyone can confirm this is not possible?
I'm unable to paste too on FroYo.

Ah, well it was worth a shot. I haven't spent more than a few minutes on a Sense phone so I'm not so well-acquainted with how the dialer works. I can confirm that the stock dialer of both Milestone's Eclair and N1's Froyo has an editable text field, in which one can long-press to get the "Edit Text" popup.
Can a Sense Android use an alternate dialer app?
there are thousands of notes apps thats what there for lol i think even htc has a notes widget for sence (i cant remember) neway yeah use your apps
There is an app which specifically does what you want. It's called Number Saver and it shows up in the notification bar whenever you make a call.
cool, will check it out!
Always weird that someone has to come up with an app for some function that should have been there to begin with, oh well!
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?

I wish calls from my wife went straight to VM.
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.

that was unchecked
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

Nice, good catch..
That sounds like the most reasonable explanation so far

Thanks for pointing that out. My 1-year-old son might be the culprit.
Formatted everything so not sure, but good to know for the future.

So after rooting and flashing ICS I installed the gv app and accidentally chose to let it combine my numbers, it whatever the deal is with sprint. Now I can't send texts or make calls from my actual cell number.
How can I fix this? I used the Odin oc format all to update from fc whatever to the latest fe whatever. And the problem persists.

If what kbizzle said doesn't work then you can got to google.com/voice and in the settings there you can disable that, it happened to me once lol

omg... thank you so much. I was pressing "1" to answer calls for almost 3 weeks.. I had disabled/enabled/uninstalled/reinstalled/disabled internet calling/deleted phone and re-installed and all the while on my voice app said that it was not enabled and I thought I just had a kooky phone.
No more pressing 1 for me. awww, freedom.
2 Quick Tips:
1.) The Google Voice homescreen widget has clickable text toggles to switch
between: Do Not Use, Use For All Calls, and Use For International Calls, and Ask
Every Time.
2.) As long as Google Voice call forwarding IS SET to "forward" and "Enable
Google Voice on your Sprint Phone" IS NOT ENABLED, you can save the inbound
GV number as a contact (also select custom ring) so you know when someone is
calling on that line. Additionally, GV can be set to screen incoming calls.
I generally toggle between "Do Not Use" and "Ask Every Time" when I want to dial out using my GV #.
Lol, never forget to go to google.com/voice after installed voice, it will take over your phone, every time I got a phone call it would send me texts and emails and all kinds of crap, receiver a text I'd get a text gv text, email, a letter in the mail, crap, change those settings lol!!!
Hey AT&T GN2 owners nothings perfect!

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).

Try the link in post #5 from bigbrotherbear from this thread to solve your S Pen sensitivity issue.
Sometimes on the mail app, enter doesn't take you down a line. It does nothing.

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.
If the display is off, you cannot activate S voice by pressing the buttons on your wired headset.

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

One way to solve this problem is go into contacts and assign the mobile number as the default and then it'll work as you want.

If the camera was last used in video mode, and I re-launch the camera from the lock screen via the quick-camera gesture, then the camera immediately crashes. Quick-camera in still-photo mode works fine, and any other launch method works fine even with video mode.
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.

Ditto for me. Was irritating at first, but I ended up going to a the first bluetooth headset that's actually worked for me the way I've expected.

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).
Anyone ele having problem with using the dialer to find a contact, then when finding it and clicking on it it gives the option to call all numbers instead of just going to the defualt number. My girlfriends att note 7 doesnt do this.
I have her cell set defualt. And work as 2nd. When i dial her name using the dialer her name comes up like it should. When i click on her name an option comes up to dial her cell or work. I have to take the extra step and click cell then the call button. It should just go to her cell when i click her name then call whwn i hit the call button. The extra step to choose between the cell and work shouldnt be there as it should defualt to her cell as its checked of as the main.
Can someone please see if their verizon phone does this or am i missing something. Please. Thank you.
Someone please
Verizon reps phone at best buy did the same thing. Seems like its only verizon phones.
try sliding from left to right to call directly. Tapping the name will only give you options.. sliding will call directly.
