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.

If it is a contact, You can swipe left to right to call. Also right to left to text.

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.

On the Telus Note II the phone displays "Dialling". Should read "Dialing". Haha.

The widgets are exactly what I wanted. I don't know why I didn't see them when I looked before. Making calls in the car was not safe.

is this some sprint thing or something? i just switched from tmobile yesterday. everything is good except this is pretty annoying. when i get a call i slide the green answer tab then i hear some lady say "you have a call from ___ press 1 to accept". how do i just answer by sliding the green tab and not pushing 1 after?
Do you have google voice?.. that's what happened to me when I used it..

i did have google voice but i deleted it because i thought it was the problem. i only use it for voicemail so it's no big deal. but it's still there.
H aha if only you could be me for a day, that crap gets so annoying. so I have a Nexus S 4G on Sprint and Bionic on Verizon. I installed Google Voice on my NS and didn't even go through the setup. I mean I have a number and account because I used to use Voice on my Eris. Anyways I installed, never opened the app and was having to press one to answer a call as well. Here is where life gets weird, every call I get on my Sprint phonE, my Verizon.Bionic rings as well and I can answer either phone for the exacT same phone call. Note that I havE never even installed Voice on my bionic. I'm sure I could easily fix it and Im pretty sure I know how without having to browse around but I am kind of having fun with it. I never know which of three phone numbers is calling/messaging it flip flops on me. Major issues lmao

yup, i figured it out. thanks, i guess i could have tried that first.
lemonoid go onto your google account and go into voice, it's all right there.
Yea I figured Im just too lazy to do it right now but thanks for confirming it. I guess you could go into the app and change it to where it never uses voice or either it just asks for each call

There is a setting in google voice which you can disable... n you will no longer have to press 1 to accept ..

u have to go on ur computer to ur google voice site....in the settings some where is call acceptance
After its disabled make sure your voice mail works. 2 of my phones lost VM after getting rid of GV and the only way to get it back was through Sprint CS

Lol. That's Google voice working precisely as intended. Though it's a little surprising since, as far as I know, you have to set up forwarding numbers at voice.Google.Com ... Though I guess just installing the app might do that automatically.
Lol.

Everything is fixed. Thanks everyone.
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?

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.

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.
Anybody else unable to locate a phone while Google Voice is integrated with Sprint? My two lines with GV always report "unable to locate" Go into Voice's settings and disable integration and it works great. Third line is always quickly located.
I have searched XDA, Sprint and Google and haven't found even a reference to the issue. Want to make sure it's not something on my end.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2 Beta-5
Here's my explanation:
Yah know how you can use your housephone/landline (if you have one) or someone else's phone and call yours. For example, if your phone number is: (860) 555-1255?
You use another phone and call your phone at that number, then when your greeting starts you press * and put in your passcode, then GV says "to Place a Call, Press 2". That means that you can call with two different phones, so as of now, the locator gets confused when it sees a Sprint phone and another number...
So basically it's like having two phones with one number, (which with Google Voice it is possible).
The locator gets really confused and doesn't work... Hopefully Sprint will catch up and fix this...
That's my theory.

I wouldn't think that GV would break it because neither the MDN or MIN change. Although I'm familiar with the operation of GV on its own, I'm not sure what changes behind-the-scenes after integration. Hopefully it's just a simple fix.
I'm just surprised that I didn't find any posts or faq dealing with it. One of the reasons for my low post count is I can usually find whatever answer I'm looking for without needing to ask. I'm pretty sure that almost every question has been asked and answered on a forum somewhere.

Has anyone noticed that Google Voice no longer integrates into the stock Samsung dialer app? Basically the problem is, if I use Google Voice for an outgoing call, the number that shows up in the call log is the Google Voice proxy phone center, not the actual number I'm dialing. It also shows the proxy phone center number on the screen while the call is ongoing. On the original Note (which now runs ICS), the stock Samsung dialer seems to work as you would expect and only shows the number of the person you are actually calling.
I'm hoping there is a fix for this somewhere. I'm not sure if similar threads for the Galaxy S III that I've seen are applicable to the Note II since it is running Jellybean, and it seems like Samsung has updated the dialer app (it looks different from the ICS dialer on the original Note)
Yep, I saw that yesterday
Yes, gv on this device is def wonky but as long as it works I'm not gonna complain.
Then again I'm seeing gv is acting up on other devices as well. Is google slowly dropping support? Hasn't been updated since beginning of year I think.

Yeah I noticed it too. Here's how I'm dealing with it:
Assuming you set things correctly in the Google Voice app...
Calls - I don't call many people from my contacts anyway so every time that proxy number shows, I save that to the contact. I learned that each contact receives a specific number, so it's been working.
Texts - I downloaded an app called GV Integration. It costs $5. This app makes sure that all your texts use you google voice number going out.
Note: You may not need the integration app if you save all the proxy numbers in your contacts but I found the integration app before saving the numbers. The only annoying thing now is receiving the texts with the person's name also in the message. I hope all this gets fixed too though. This is one this Sprint has the upper hand on for every phone.
this is the same behavior on my S3 as well. not sure it's a GV thing though, cuz on my HOXL, GV stores the contact number in the log and not the bridge number.
I just refer to GV's own logs instead of the phone-dialer log. I do all texting from GV itself, and I only give out my GV number (not the native cell number) for others to text me. That way, all the texting is handled in GV, and comes for free without needing a texting plan from my carrier.
My S3 on Verizon did this initially, then started working correctly, the call log would show the number I called instead of the GV proxy number.
My AT&T Note 2 is showing the GV proxy number, which I find annoying and wrong.
Google/Samsung/AT&T: I would like my call log to show the phone number of outgoing calls when I dial with GV. Thanks
Bump
has anyone found a fix for this? This really bugs me..
same here. is google dropping GV?
This isn't an issue on the Nexus phones or the HOX. It has to have something to with the Touchwiz dialer.

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".
