I love the Dial by name aka Smart Dialing feature in the hacked Dialer used in AOKP and CM9 roms (all custom roms?)... but the damn thing locks up so many times it's annoying.
I have my Gmail contacts and I also have corporate exchange contacts. A few times a day I start to dial a number and it'll freeze after 1 or 2 numbers. I have to force close the dialer (press and hold back) or wait until it eventually force closes and allows me to close it.
Pretty annoying.
At first I figured it was just beta and would eventually get ironed out... but it's been a few months now and it seems the dialer is the same old dialer. It's acted out on just about every rom I've tried. I suspect it could be my exchange contacts and perhaps a poor data signal (maybe?). The contacts get synced and should be physically on my phone, but my new BlueAnt Q2 won't speak the names of my corporate contacts, but has no problem with my personal Gmail contacts.
So I'm wondering how it actually works and perhaps put a nail in this dialer lockup (and fixing maybe fixing corporate name announce would be awesomesauce). At this point I'm about to just manually import my corporate contacts into my personal gmail, and not sync contacts through my exchange... but I'm now sure how this would effect the Email app autofill in.
I have the same issue at times, I have 4 google accounts synced to my phone and thus a lot of contacts sorted (two business two personal). It doesn't happen every time, but when making lots of calls, it does happen with regularity. I would love to help figure out what the fault is.
-D
T9 has always worked fine for me in CM9; I do hear quite a few reports of issues with other ROMs when they port the CM9 dialer however. Not sure what the specific issue is, but logcats would likely help the ROM developer(s).
Well I suspect it is the syncing of multiple accounts. If you just have one, its fine, or make a lots of quick calls in a short amount of time like trying to get a hold of anyone of a group, like work.
What happens is that you'll be making several calls and out of the blue, you start to dial another name and it falls on its face. It doesn't FC but eventually says it stopped responding.

Fwiw I have both exchange and Gmail phone contacts. I don't make a huge volume of out going calls however so that may factor in.

I used to experience exactly the same thing. I have 1 Gmail and 1 Exchange account.
However since flashing the latest Gummy and the latest Nitroz theme I haven't had to force close it. (2 weeks and counting roughly).
I can't be sure if it's the ROM or the theme but it has been great. I make alot of phone calls as I only have one phone for both work and personal use, I must make a minimum of 40 calls per day...

To be honest, I haven't experienced it in a while either. I'm running the latest Axi0m AOKP 4.0.4 Hybrid.
Maybe its been updated or patched.

Yes I have push gmail by using acrivesync and it worked for me about the last 3 weeks but today it says:
A network or server error is currently preventing your device from synchronizing with your exchange server. If this condition persists, please contact your system administrator.
Support code: 0x85010005
Last synchronized: Today 06:44am
I have almost the same problem ... before I change my phone, it worked fin on my iphone, and on my diamond for test, but now, nothing since 3 days ...
After a few tests, If I uncheck mail the synchro works fine, it should be a problem on google side ... ****
It was working earlier this morning....phew...I thought it was just me having the issue.
Hopefully Gmail will fix the issue.
I deleted my sync and re-established. no longer getting error.
try it out....see if that works for you.
I did it almost 10 times, got 2 or 3 mails, and then nothing else ...
it is fine now, i was getting no email updates previously, but now works fine
I don't, currently, sync my mail. But I do have other problems syncing with Gmail, for contacts and appointments.
1) It never actually synchronizes the first time I press sync (i have mine set to manual) I have to press it a second time for the data to actually sync.
2) Even if I make NO changes to any contact it always has a list of 20+ contacts it is updating (what is it updating??)
3) I stopped using HTC Favorites tab because all contacts in this list get screwed up everytime I sync with google, mainly loosing their photos and rearrangin how I have names displayed (reverts only these few back to standard last name first)
4) DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT use Tmo My Faves if you plan on using google sync. If you do every time you sync through google Tmo will go through and change your my faves contacts back to how they feel they should be displayed, including getting rid of custom ringtones for that contact and their photo. And you will get a txt message for every change tmo did.
5) Evey couple of weeks it tells me a change on the server requires every contact, and or appointment, to be erased and re-synced! Terrifying the first time it happens, not knowing if you are gonna loose anything.
These are almost too much trouble to keep using google sync... and yet I persist with it, hoping these stupid bugs will be worked out.
I have since dropped my faves, since I have the good customer unlimited plan. And have stopped using the HTC favorites tab. Even so, I still get problems with some of the contacts that used to be favorites.
WIll try again to use push ...
It seems like Google is still working some stuff out. I had the same issue and another as well.
Apparently the HTC favorites thing stores some data in proprietary places in your contacts and so that causes problems.
Also, for me unticking "Tasks" for syncing has solved the problem before.
Gmail Emails are not instant, I switched to Live because of this!
I'm using TSM GingerBliss and noticed the timestamps for incoming messages with the HTC messaging app are 3 hours earlier than my phone's current time. Haven't seen this before and haven't quite gotten around to testing with GoSMS or another app. Does anyone know why this is happening, or what file/setting I need to modify to correct this?
I would've posted this in the development area but I haven't posted enough past posts, and it's probably suitable for the general area anyway.
I am running TSM Bliss too but my time stamp is correct. I am not sure what is going on. I would try another messaging app to see if it is wrong there too. If so then you know it isn't the messaging app. There could be some sort of lag on your local Verizon network at the moment.
Hmm, thank you, and good thought on the Verizon lag, but I'm not sure if that's the issue though. As an initial test I sent myself a message, which returns within a few seconds with a timestamp 3 hours earlier than my phone's time. I'll try another app to check as well.
As a temporary fix I installed 'SMS Time Fix' which helps, but I'm curious now as to the actual problem.
Same here man idk what's going on
Sent from my ADR6350 using XDA App
honestly, i dont know why its doing that for some and not others..and tbh i dont know (ive poured through the xmls) and not seen why/what would be doing that
Yeah, that makes two of us so far I've tried with the stock and GoSMS apps with the same result. The SMS Time Fix app does work at fixing the timestamp, but I'm curious as to how it does this which could lead to some ideas. Newt's Inc2HD ROM has the same issue.
So does the messaging system rely on time zone info? I'm heading to another time zone so I'll be able to test that.
Ok, so I'm in Kansas City, and now the timestamps of my incoming messages are 2 hours behind. So for some reason the messaging system thinks I'm in the Pacific time zone. Maybe it's using my home zip code that I have setup through Verizon, which is in California...not sure. Another strange thing is that MMS are not affected, only SMS, go figure.
However, I might have found a setting on my flight over that could work. Maybe someone can confirm this, but in the folder
/data/data/com.android.mms/shared_prefs
there is a file
com.android.mms.customizationBySIM.xml
that has a line
<boolean name="SMS_Use_Device_Time" value ="false" />
I changed it to true, and now all the incoming messages use my phone's time, even after restart. I don't know, maybe that was added by the SMS Time Fix app, sounds promising though. Any thoughts?
Hello guys, i have a Gnex and i'm using aokp m4+Franco r97. i have one problem. my t9 dialer always force closes,it force closes around 5-7 times a day. i've tried to disable the t9 mode but nothing improves. please help!!
Same here. Always locks up when randomly entering digits. I have to set back to force close to get out of it.
I've posted this in the Themes and Apps thread.
Let me ask a question. Do you use the exchange email app?
I do and I'm wondering if its getting hung up there... kinda how it pauses when entering an email address while it connects and searches through exchange contacts.
I've thought about just importing my corporate contacts into my personal Gmail and seeing if that fixes it.
It happens all the time and is super annoying but I haven't heard anything about it before I posted my thread... now you. So lets try to figure out the cause.
I've been on a ton of roms and it does it right out of a fresh install. I've used MIUI dialer and other T9 diapers with my same setup with no problem until the ICS T9 dialer.
I've also noticed my BlueAnt Q2 won't speak names from my corporate contacts, just the number; where it announced names just fine from my Gmail account.

I am running Codename Android and not running exchange and I also have issues with the dialer freezing. Fortunately if I hold the 'back' button it will close the dialer and then it will work. Let me know if you get it fixed...
I have the same issue with FCs. And to add more, i get lag when i press dial on some contact(it actually dials after about 5 secs).
I went into the speaker settings and then T9 settings. I switched to sort by name first (instead of number) and have yet to have a slow down since switching. Let's hope it stays that way!
Don't know why...don't care but skottema's solution seems to have fixed mine. BUENO!
This version is very bad. Was better than the 4.0.3. !
defects:
does not sync google contacts thoroughly
does not synchronize contacts facebook (you have to use the app contact sync)
no callback telephone number
at the end of the call does not leave enabled the button to instantly call up
you can not remove the google search bar
you can not delete the virtual screens leaving, wanting only one
the battery lasts less
when you try to call if there is no field does not repeat attempts
Nor have implemented the percentage of consumption of the battery
during an incoming call, you can send a text message with a predefined message
I would say that the work is bad. I expected that from 4.0.3 ripartissero improving what had been done!
Cool. Thanks for your opinion. I disagree with most of your problems.
Some of your other issues weren't present in 4.0.3. I think you are getting confused with a custom ROM.

Yea, I think you are right in that the OP had a custom ROM of some sorts on 4.0.3. Personally the battery has been been better for me. You could never change the number of screens nor remove the search bar in 4.0.3 either.
As for Facebook contacts, there has been an ongoing dispute between Google and Facebook and it was like that in 4.0.3 as well and I think all the way back to 4.0.

1) syncs all my contacts fine
2) thats been broke since android 2.3.7, blame facebook
3) never even noticed this or cared
4) when i end a call i'm on my called list.. so.. whats the problem?
5) was that way in all of the ICS versions
6) use a custom launcher if you want to remove screens
7) seems the same to me
8) no cell phone has done that to my knowledge
9) thats stock android, and has been that way for awhile
10) there are plenty of apps that do this

2) 4.0.3 doesn't sync Facebook either. Blame Facebook for that one.
3) Tap the call, it calls them back?
4) Go back to the dialer
5) You can't in 4.0.3 either. I'm not sure why people complain about this. If you care that much, use another launcher.
6) You can't do that in 4.0.3 either...
7) My battery is the exact same.
8) Not sure what you mean? My calls work fine
9) Battery % is useless, and again was not in 4.0.3 either. Battery life isn't linear, and is severely affected by usage type. % won't help you understand how much battery is left time-wise.

Not sure if this is the right place for this, or if there is a better place. Mods feel free to move if it fits better elsewhere. But found this when I woke up and wouldn't you know I have JUST left CM nightlies for MOAR Rom not 6 hours ago. But fwiw for CM Nightly Gvoicers...
http://www.droid-life.com/2013/07/0...ms-app-on-cyanogenmod-available-for-download/
Google Voice, while an amazing concept and at times brilliant product, has been neglected by Google for the last couple of years and is for the most part incredibly frustrating to use these days. It still doesn’t do MMS, but maybe more importantly, users have been forced to use the painfully buggy and slow Google Voice app for texting rather than some of the more popular SMS apps available. Thanks to Koush, that second issue may have been fixed.
In a G+ post two days ago, Koush (of ClockworkMod, Helium, and trolling fame) mentioned that he has found a way to get Google Voice SMS working through not only the stock SMS app on Android, but also any third party app that does text messaging. Yesterday morning, he then released the first build of the concept for users to try out.
This is essentially what it does:
The app will sync your existing Google Voice messages into your messaging store. New Google SMS will be received as if it were a normal SMS.
When you send a message out from your messaging app, it goes out via Google Voice.
As of now, this is a feature that only CyanogenMod ROM is capable of producing, so you have to be running CM in order to test it (July 1 and later build). Obviously, you’ll need Google Voice installed as well. Once you have those two requirements taken care of, hit up the instructions at his G+ to dive in.
How awesome is this?
Update: He already pushed out a beta 2. Instructions here.

Beta 2: Google Voice through any messaging app
Leave bug reports, etc in comments.
0) Google Voice must be installed with notifications enabled (for now).
1) Install a recent +CyanogenMod nightly. July 1st or later. You need the SMS middleware patches I put in for PushSMS. (see Gerrit)
2) Push this apk to /system/app: http://download.clockworkmod.com/test/babel-2-signed.apk adb install will not work. The app requires system/signature permissions.
4) Start Babel, choose your Google Voice account. Authorize it.
Fixed since original release:
* Registers with AccessibilityService automatically.
* SMS sent via GV website, etc now sync to the stock messaging store.
* If you're running a +CyanogenMod build from last night, the duplicate GV notifications will be cleared.

Damn, I'd love to see this on the S2/ET4G!
sent from my GS2/ET4G (AOKP/CM Rootbox 3.9.1 20130623) on Xparent Tapatalk2
I really must be missing something, when I was on AOKP or CM or stock and had GV about 8 months ago, I used GoSMS and was receiving SMS via both apps. It initially tried to send it over data however if it didn't have a 2/3/4g or WiFi connection it would send it over as a regular SMS over vocie. When I received a MMS it wouldn't come through over GV but it did over my messaging app.
What about this is exactly different?
I'm on Sprint and GV integrated with my number so not sure if that makes a difference. But in GV there is already an option to receive the GV through the phone's internal text messaging app and it syncs to both. I can even go further and have FB chathead for message with GV and it all syncs.
Works great on moar. Love the integrated Google voice.

When you check this option, Google Voice servers send the text to your phone number via your phone carrier, so you will be charged for a SMS message. With Koush's mod, the text is received on your phone over data, via the google voice app, and then placed into your sms app, so your carrier is not involved in the transaction at all. This is important if you pay per text with your carrier, or have no cell service in your building and are relying on wifi to deliver the text.

This is great news and I am surprised that more people aren't interested... but I have a question. Since Google Voice doesn't support MMS, what happens when you compose an MMS in whatever messaging app you're using (Textra, in my case)? Will it automatically be sent through the carrier data plan, or is it going to fail because every message is sent through GV?
