dial extentions automaticlly - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

how do you make the phone dial an extension automatically? instead of just hitting the contact and the phone dialing the number and then you have to punch in the extension, is there a way to have it dial the extension along with teh phone number?

I know in aosp, when you're dialing a number, you can press menu and insert a two second pause. I'd say insert a couple of those, then put in the extension.
TW should have similar options.

TW does.... this is pretty common in cell phones for quite a while now.

Oh oh. There is. Dang but i forget how
Google search maybe? "creating contacts with phone number extensions"

Hmm, I don't believe I have ever seen a dialer that goes to landscape. Not to my knowledge, I have never seen anything like that. There's a lot of different dialers out there, but none of which rotate to landscape. That's not to say that it can't be done, just that I've never seen one.
I too haven't seen a landscape dialer.
Edit: after going a lightning faster search, I think dialer one may be your best bet.
Yep, Dialer One works in landscape mode & on CM7. I use it on CM7, I like it better than the default.
I will try.thank you buddy

Try to call someone, and then it should ask you to select a default,t hen pick dialer one.
The actual phone call part is done through the stock dialer, so you can't set the default for calling. However, at the end of a phone call it sends you to the call log. Then you get a popup asking if you want to use Dialer One or Contacts/Dialer... check the check box & choose Dialer One. Anytime another app calls the dialer, contacts, or call log you may have to set the default again - but only once per individual circumstance.

Press 1 before answering calls???

Well now whenever I receive a phone call I have to press 1 to answer it.. I think it may have been when I was fooling around with google voice.

It's annoying for people you don't want to screen. I believe you can set it as an option in your Google voice settings. You can turn it on/off for everyone or just particular groups. Look under 'Call Settings'. I've attempted to turn it off for 2 groups, but I don't think I've got it sorted all the way out yet, so this may not work.
You can turn it off but you have to do it from a pc as far as I can tell.

Ya must be done on your home computer under Google voice settings.

From your PC, login to your google voice account, then to disable it go to the "Voice settings", click on the "Calls" tab, and then where it says "Call Screening" choose "Off"...

Frustration when selecting contacts

When in the dialer and I enter the first few letters of someone's name, it sometimes only allows me to only select the default number, it does not give me the option to select other numbers for the specified contact. Is there a way to fix this or am I missing something?
Thanks.
what rom and theme are you using?
I think that's a touchwiz thing to be honest. I can't say for sure though. The only way I've been able to go around it is by hitting the 'contacts' button towards the top of the dialer or to go into the actual contacts 'app' and choose from there.
Jm, having u tried doing that right from ur contacts instead of the dialer?

That's not his question. It works from contacts.

Yes, I know it works from contacts.
I am currently on RandomRom Thunderhawk 3.3 but I do not think it is ROM related as I have experienced it with other roms.
Ok..I'm going to try what u did with the rom I'm on and see what happens...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
the weird thing is that it does not happen all the time, sometimes it gives me a choice and other times it does not
Ok, I tried it. Press the letters of the contact, u will have a little arrow next to the contact, press the arrow, it will bring up that contact on a small separate window. Press the number again and it should display the other numbers for that specific contact. If there is only one number, that's all its going to show as the end result.

Ok, just to clarify.. my issue is choosing numbers belonging the same contact
When you start typing name, if you select contact before hitting drop down arrow it will only match the default number. To choose non default number you must hit arrow before tapping the contact if it is the 1st result.
Thanks.

Perhaps clear the defaults for the contacts in question. Setting one number for a contact as a default is likely causing your dialer to DEFAULT to that number. For contacts without a default number the dialer will ask you which number to use.

LOL Well .. Kinda ..
Because the phone/dialer saves the last screen your on.
Seems I was always on the wrong screen!
When I needed the dial pad .. seems it was always on contacts.
When I needed contacts .. It was always on Dial Pad.

Why not put the contacts app next to the phone app in the dock? That app is a waste of space, lol just like thus thread IMO. But to each their own!

Just use exDialer. It's even better than stock dialer and it's themeable.

Select text onscreen

I was going through my mails and I wanted to copy some part of mail to send it as sms.. I found that I couldn't do it by pressing screen for long. It used to be so on my earlier phone note 2 but I am not sure if the feature doesn't exist or is it that I am not aware of it..
So anyone encountered similar problem??
Is there any workaround or built in feature for the same???

It works for me in email and any other area with text available for selection. Long press will give you the ability to move the selections "controls" around how much text you want to select. Once selected, a few icons will pop-up (I know one is for Copy and another is for Find)
For email it is working after pressing for sometime but let's say you want to copy the phone no. from the contacts..you go to edit and try the same and it won't work

Hmm for me a simple 2 second long press on the phone number itself( after pressing edit as you mention) results in a pop-up with a selection to copy
