How do you stop Direct Dial from using Skype? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I have no idea how to stop this and its driving me nuts.
I have direct dial short cuts on my home screen and when I press them Skype turns on and it trys to call with Skype. How do I get it to use the phone for my direct dial shortcuts?? If I uninstall skype the shortcuts work fine so its obviously some setting somewhere Im missing..
Anyone know how to do this?????

I think you may have a Call Out action associated with Skype. Normally this does to the phone dialer but can be bound to Skype. Try going to Settings > Application Manager and then hit Menu > Reset App Preferences.

Applications manager> Skype> clear defaults.

That didnt work. Its so weird. If I uninstall Skype the direct dials work fine. The second I reinstall it, the direct dials fireup skype to make calls..

Its says "No Defaults Set"

It does seem strange that you are getting Skype for a Direct Dial shortcut event though it is not set as the default...
I was able to get the Direct Dial shortcut to bring up Skype and then Skype showed that it was set as the default action. I was then able to clear it and the App chooser then allowed me to set it back to the Phone app.
Maybe clearing all the app preferences will correct the problem. Go into the application manager and hit menu (before you select an individual app). Then select Reset App Preferences. I am showing the screenshot from Jelly Bean (LJ7). It might be different if you are still on ICS.

Im on JB and I did that. I just uninstalled Skype for now till I figure it out. Its so annoying. lol.

Uninstall the dial app, install Skype and install dial app and make call. You be promoted what to use Skype or dial app, each one has remember this box. You probably did that at some point that's why is default now. Hope this helps.

Well, add that to the list of "didnt work" things. lol I unistalled skype and the dialer and it still calls up skype when they are installed back.. Amazing.

I also never got a choice between the "phone or skype" when using the direct dial shortcut.

I figured it out. It was something going on with Go Launcher.

Thread moved to the Q&A Section

Check and clear defaults if any in application manager for Skype, in settings, application (all), Skype.

i am having a similar problem with myphoneexplorer contacts folder. if i tap a phone number, skype launches. this is a tablet. phone numbers shouldn't activate anything. iac, i don't want them activating skype.
i have "launcher" . don't see a "go launcher" in apps. is "launcher" the same? and if so, what was "going on" with it? how did you modify it?
(btw: i tried the resetting all defaults. this didn't help the skype problem, but it did re-enable all the disabled apps)
also, settings>all>skype: clear defaults is greyed out. can't use it.

Hai
Please try this steps for dialer issue of android
Open the dialer
Press the option then select call settings
Internet call settings
Open the accounts
Set as primery account ( untick this option)
Just go back check ur dialer
Some times even if uninsalled skype the blue line coming while using dial pad so check the above settings can help to stop annoying:laugh::laugh:

Set as primary account option is only available if you hav SIP account set up, but if you don't there's nothing to uncheck, so it didn't work for me, it apparently has nothing to do with skype
Any other suggestions

[Q] AfterMarket Text App for Samsung Epic4G Touch problem

Is there a work-around for using a 3rd part text app (go sms pro) on the samsung epic 4g so that it does not interfere with the voice mail app on the phone?
thank you.....
What are you talking about? What is out doing ? You can go into settings and change what the messaging notification looks like

"out doing"???? what are you talking about???
I'll try to be more specific;
IF i install go sms pro (3rd party text app) and someone leaves me a voice mail message, I do not get the message. I receive a text from spring telling me to call a number......
i contact sprint tech support. i was told that the voice mail app on the phone will not work with a 3rd party text app. somehow, they are linked. once i removed the go sms app, i received my voice mail messages....
sorry i was not clearer....

Go sms works just don't override the other notifications when you install. Uninstall reinstall then disable stock notification.
If that doesn't work I've seen a walkthrough fix on sprintusers.com

well i tried that and it's still sending me a text message from "9016" telling me to call Sprint.

Handcent is working, so I might just go ahead and keep using that app.

It definitely works for go sms. You just have to make sure you're not allowing the over ride when installing. I say give it a go sms again

ok...How do you not allow it while it's installing? sorry..but i'm def not a developer!!
thank you.
EUREKA!!Got it. After installing the app, go to the app --> advance settings --> Notification Settings and make certain that the box for "Enable notifications" is UNCHECKED. Problem solved!
I have been using GO SMS PRO and I tell you the thing rocks with absolutely no problems. I am using it in my EPI 4G Touch with no problems.
I downloaded Handcent toady and play with it a bit but in my opinion it cna not compare.
The only thing I noticed with GO SMS is that when you attached a picture to your text if you use the GO option instead off the MMS option some people might not be able to see it.
i'm using go sms pro also. it's far better than handcent.
It is messing with the voicemail because you have the default messaging app checked. Uncheck and you should be golden.

Unable to change default Voicemail?

I was about to type this up when I found a nice help file on Google site.
If you get the note2 and it says 'error forwarding' when you change from AT&T Voicemail to Google Voicemail, do this:
1. Go to google.com/voice
2. Settings (gear top right)
3. Phones
4. Under Mobile (or whatever you called your 'real' cell number), select Edit
5. Choose Show advanced settings
6. Under Forwarding Options, choose Activate
7. You will get a code that looks like *004*your_google_voice_number#
8. Hit call or 'dial' that code.
Done, when you check your phone, it will say "my carrier" under voicemail

You can also manually change the voicemail number to your google voice number in phone settings along with the call forwarding numbers. This way the voicemail button on your keypad will dial in to google voice services.
They pushed out an update for Google voice today that fixes this issue.

Google Voicemail from Call Logs (AT&T GN2)
I thought Google voicemail was supposed to be integrated with the dialer (voicemail messages should show up in the call logs). There is an option in Google Voice settings to turn this on, but even when I turn it on it doesn't work for me. Does this work for anyone else? BTW, I have the AT&T version.

Try using titanium backup, or root explorer to delete talk from system/app, reboot and then download and install. If that doesn't work here's the apkhttps://copy.com/Ue2Qj

So there is no way to see which contacts are online using this right?
If you're on a computer, go to Google plus page and turn hangouts on, there is a green line under the picture of contacts who are online. My list of contacts that show are just frequently used ones though. I know this isn't the same but maybe it will show up in the app soon.

Strangely, no contacts show in my G+ hangouts sidebar either. Maybe it isnt implemented in my country or something. Because I removed the talk app from system and downloaded hangouts....

It doesn't show status messages, status, nor does it allow you to set either one. This is a terrible step back from Google Talk. Not to mention it forcibly lumps all of your Google+ contacts in with your GTalk contacts.
That doesn't help me. I don't talk to those people. I use GTalk to talk to a select few people who have limited SMS per month and one person who uses a tablet with mobile data and a dumbphone.
Google really dropped the ball with this pile of junk app. The new iteration of the Music app isn't any better. They've been cocking everything up since the horrid 4.2 lockscreen abomination.

remove "group messaging" warning?

Is there a way to remove this warning about "group conversations being sent as multimedia messages'? Like, i get it, you don't need to warn me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I use group conversations frequently. In fact, I'd say half of my text conversations are part of groups. I've had the phone for a little while now. I think its safe to say that I don't need this little pop up anymore. is there anyway to remove it completely?
THANKS!

I use Hangouts and I haven't seen any group conversation issues.
Let me try stock messages and see if I get some issues.
Edit: just tested group messaging to 4 people and did not get a pop-up at all.
Are you with AT&T carrier? Did you change any settings relating to texting or MMS? Can you try Hangouts and send a group message and see if anything pops up?
Yeah, I'm with ATT. Didn't change any settings. I just got the phone about a week ago.
Will try Hangouts ...

Mine does the exact same. I only like samsung messages over hangouts because you can send diff types of things. Hangouts only let's you send pic and location

The reason I ask to try Hangouts is because it's a different app and it would allow me to know if the same problem persist on that app too. If it does then we can try other solutions to fix the problem.

I'm on att and other apps don't do it. Samsung messages is the stock messaging app built into the note 4
One more thing before we try these solutions...
Are you both on 5.0.1 Lollipop or 4.4.4 Kitkat?
What version of Messages are you both on? Mine says version 1.0.0.
Here's some solutions...
1st solution:
In Messages app go to settings and click on the 3 dots at the top right corner of the app. You'll see Restore default settings. Click that and then exit the app. Go back in and try to see if that popup persist.
If it does persist then let's try this...
You have a choice of losing all your conversations or not. If you don't care about losing it then skip the backup steps.
2nd solution:
Go to the Play Store and download an app called My Backup. There is a Pro version if you want to buy it. I have the Pro version and have used it for 3 years now.
In My Backup click New Backup. Then click Data. Then click Local. Check the boxes for SMS and MMS then click Ok. Then you'll see another box asking if you want to rename the backup. You can rename it or use what it has shown as the date of the backup. Click ok. This will save all your conversations.
Once it is done go to the phones Settings. Click on the Application tab then click on Application manager. Swipe to ALL. Scroll down to Messages. Clear the cache and data and then Force Stop the app.
Exit out of the settings and open up Messages app. Make it your default app then do a group text test. See if the problem persist again or not. If it doesn't then great. You can go back to My Backup app and click on My Backups. Click on Data. Then Local and restore your conversations.
If the problem persist then report back and we'll try something else.
I am on stock 4.4.4 Kitkat. The messaging app is the stock "Messages" that comes on the phone. It shows Version 4.4.4-N910, which is the same code for the Samsung Note4.
When i go into the Message app, click on the settings 3-dots, are restore to default, i STILL get that little popup. It remains. I have even rebooted the phone, and it remains. using Hangouts does NOT have any popup warning.

LG G4 Voice Recorder Missing

I just bought 2 LG G4s from AT&T and when configuring it I noticed a missing Voice Recorder native app in the app drawer on both of them.
Researching on the Applications menu I see it under All Apps however I cannot access it. I found it located in the System\priv-app.
Is there a way to access the app? Anyone with the same issue?
Hmm. It works fine on my international version. I can offer you the apk and see if it will install over and let you access it if you want?

Ahhh I misread this, I thought it meant recording while on call. I have the actual app but thanks!

Thank you. I was able to install it but it is still hidden in the app drawer.
Any other ideas?
Can't you just use a third party alternative? They will probably be better anyway than whatever stock bloatware is preloaded onto these phones
I thought so but after downloading 4 of the top apps in the play store I was not able to change the storage path to my external SD card like the stock app. I came from the Galaxy S5 and I was used to save audio recorded directly to the SD card. Any suggestions?
My international version has the shortcut. I had used "Sound Recorder Shortcut" from KN Inc. on my previous phone. It's available at the Play Store.

The shortcut does not work as well. Thx.
I contacted LG support and this is their answer:
"Regarding your concern, the Voice Recorder feature should be accessible on the Quickmemo app.
1. From Home screen, tap APPS > QuickMemo > tap plus (+) icon > tap Menu button (3 dots on the upper right corner of the screen > tap Insert > select Record Voice."
So the Voice Recorder can only be accessed via another app. It does not work as a standalone app. Bummer!
This will let you make a shortcut to your homescreen and or a folder at least for the time being!

You have to hit the "TRY' shortcut to see if it is the correct one in the list as there are a handful of them. Just expand the Voice Recorder shortcut in the list within the shortcut program and start at the first one and on the next screen hit "TRY' to see if it opens the program. Keep trying the next one down til you get the program to launch then apply it and it will be on your homescreen. Took me a bit of fiddling around too!

It worked!!!!!!!
Thank you sooo much for the tip. Now I can use the native app and store the recordings in the SD card (only system apps or apps written to store data in the Ext SD card can write in there).
I just tried it and it does not crash. It records to the ext SD card like a charm.
Thank you again!!!

NICE!! Your welcome, I love to help whenever I can. I know all too much what it's like when you need it yourself:good:
Stock video app is missing, but is listed under "all apps" in settings.
Hi all! I didn't want to create another thread and figured that my situation is similar but just with different app. I have T-Mobile's version of LG G4 and I can't find stock video app shortcut and it is missing in the app drawer. When I tap on a video file, through gallery, then I can choose which app to open the video with and it does play. Does any one have video app missing or maybe it is by design?
