Anyone know if this is possible or if there is an app out on the Market for this?
I would like to be able to call up a Popup Dialer in the Note 2, similar to calling up a Popup S-Note with the S-Pen. I suppose I've had more than a few instances where I was reading something that contained a phone number that wasn't clickable and wish I could either keep that note open in a small window while I switch to the dialer, or else if I could just call up a mini dialer in a popup window so that I could dial the number as I was reading it.
I don't think the dialer is available in multiwindow mode, unless maybe you apply a MOD to have ALL apps available for window mode.
TIA
Great Idea! Might want to submit that to Samsung.
or dialer widget?

xperiacle has done this by adopting a tablet ui for the galaxy note 1.
Here is the link. Check out the second video in the OP "TW - Tableui" I would love to see some of this capability on GN2!

You could just use multi window. Works fine for me.

this looks really cool, so is any of it available for Note 2?
use multiwindow... or dialer widget and popup widget apps to make the widget popup when you hit a shortcut on screen.. to activate (without needing to go back to a home screen) you can use whatever you want.. wave launcher, dock4droid..etc.. or even just dock it in the bottom dock.

I just don't get it lol..
I keep going to program them and find NO real use for them.
I just use them for my gf, brother, and well nothing for the 3rd one
edit:
3rd one is now the browser
I have one set for music two for composing text screen and three for xda. Mainly use the compose text screen because I don't have to open messaging and then click compose, just click button then enter name and type text

Same with me - I use them for launching programs that I use heavily use the keyboard for.
first goes to compose sms
second goes to compose email
and the third goes to connectbot
I used mine with launcher pro to go to home screen. There is a menu on the keyboard, so I wanted the full set.
I add the "home button" quick launch with launcher pro, just go to "activities" and scroll down to launcher pro. It should be the first activity under the application.
The only one I want now is the "back" button.
I use it to directly text my gf with 1 click then type message

I only have one configured so far, it launches Voice Actions.
Sorry if this is not worth creating a thread.. But I am wondering what you guys use for your 3 buttons you get to assign anything to do for suggestions for myself.. I can't seem to think of any good ideas, I'm sure some of you have some pretty good ideas to help me.. Thanks a lot
1: Twidroyd Pro new tweet popup activity
2: Messaging
3: Launcher Pro.. w/ home button set to show notifications within LP. So home then notifs
I haven't even bothered to assign them to anything. Would probably be more efficient to just keep shortcuts on the home screen. I mean you get 4x4 apps per page with 7 pages that's 112 shortcuts. I don't really see the need to assign 3 buttons more.

I use them for the 3 things I use the keyboard for most: Messaging, Google Voice, and Talk. Once everyone starts using my GV number I'll probably replace messaging with Gmail. But I figure while I have the keyboard out those are the apps i'm most likely to be using, so I made them the shortcuts.
How do you enable dialing contacts by spelling out their name on the dial pad? This was my most heavily used feature on my TB. I'm hoping I don't have to flash a custom rom just for this! .. thx!
I know I'm using the exDialer which supports both speed dial (long press a single number) and the dial by name feature. Both of which are lacking from the stock dialer.
I'm also using exDialer and I like it a lot. Way better than the stock dialer.
After you bring up the dialer hit the search button bottom right.

Yes that feature sux as it requires 5+ clicks as opposed to dialing it directly....
honestly there are tons of features that are just missing from this phone that I used all the time on my TB...
like a global search button (?!? wtf google) I never use the google search bar... and I wish I could reverse the home / back buttons...and remove altogether the recent apps button (I never use that either).... i guess my only option is a custom rom? any good ones out there that allow this? Or do I have to replace the launcher? I'd rather not do that tho bc i dont want any lag..... thx!
I use exdialer as well. If you're on a custom rom, there's a cm9 dialer that adds this functionality, but it doesn't work on stock roms.
Use the microphone icon on the google search bar on the homepage. "Call Dave on mobile". Works fine for me.

Yea I'm sure it works but I'd rather not announce who im calling to the whole room sometimes... dial by voice has its benefits but its just not for me I guess..

I'm also using exContacts along with Desktop VisualizeR to replace the stock dialer/contacts launch icons. That way it looks stock but opens the extools.

Oh sweet... thanks!
This was actually something that I thought would be included in ICS stock dialer. Really surprised Google hasn't figured this one out yet. Oh well.
As many others have already stated, exDialer is a free app available on the market that satisfies all your smart-dialing needs. There's even a free ICS theme available as well. I truly love this dialer in comparison to the stock ICS dialer, which was lacking so much - which I noticed right away when I got my GNex. All is well now though with exDialer installed.
Texting as well?
A little off topic but today I transferred all my contacts from my Evo3d to my Nexus. This evening I tried to send a text message and thought I could just type the contact's name into the To: field and have the phone pick it up from my contacts list. It didn't happen. Am I missing something?
thx ill check it out
one weird thing that i've noticed is the avatars for my friends in the contact list is super low resolution for some reason... its the contacts that have facebook "linked" to each contact - any idea how to fix this? It should be showing the full resolution of the image not a 120x120 pixelated image.....
also how to search the contact list for duplicates? HTC does this automatically and suggests that contacts be "linked"..... but on the GN, you have to do it contact by contact which is a PITA when you have 400+ contacts..... ideas? Thx everyone for the help!

switch to go sms pro - its much better than the stock app! be sure to disable the notifications of the stock sms app after u install it.
Pure Android Nexus & AOSP Roms don't include the feature the OP is looking for.
Just to answer the OP's question, pure Google Android Nexus phones have never included the feature you are looking for, same goes for most AOSP roms. CM doesn't include it either.
Seems silly, I don't know why, I always dial people by putting in the first few letters of their name also and the number pops up. Wish the pure Nexus line included that.
I'm looking for an sms widget that allows you to write a reply in the actual widget without opening a new window.
I'm using wave launcher to temporarily open widgets on top of whatever I have open at the time, go sms widget almost had it with a small pop up window that opened over most apps but it still shut down Thd games when I tried to right an sms.
Anyone know of anything like this?
Try SMS Popup from Google Play
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sIm5ldC5ldmVyeXRoaW5nYW5kcm9pZC5zbXNwb3B1cCJd
Sms pop up seems great but I'm really after a widget. Basically a widget that does the same function as sms pop up, that way I can open the widget when I want to reply rather than as soon as I get the text.
You can download the GO SMS app from the playstore,it's free and the widget allows you to do what you want,also you could also download the Go Launcher,personaly i think it's a little better than the wave launcher.
Go sms doesn't work for this purpose because you can't write text in the actual widget, instead a pop up window appears, this pop up closes Thd games that are running.
Also wave launcher is not a home launcher like go launcher (I'm currently using apex launcher) its a app/shortcut/widget task manager similar to swipepad, which I'm using to view and interact with widgets on top of whatever app I'm running.

Any way you can get the default dialer app to display the numpad when opening up? It's relatively unhelpful when it just displays a bunch of white space.

Well if you open the app, bring up the dial pad and close it but leave it in memory it should open back up the way you left it.

So you don't have "favorites"?? I thought everyone had those....
I'd put the people I call/text/email the most in favorites that way they show up. If you don't want to do this then open the dialer> open up keypad> then hit home button. Re-open dialer and keypad pops up on mine

It does open favorites by default. Favorites are helpful, but on ROMs like HTC Sense, the number pad opens when you launch the dialer and you can either dial a number right away or use the letters on the number pad to type the first few letters of a contact name to search for someone and then hit call.
I guess these are some of the finesse things that change among ROMs and I could download a different dialer app in the play store.
First nexus phone.
