OK, i have a contact with an unusual name. When i say text XXX Hello. it searches for "text xxx hello" I can do it for my son or daughter and it works fine. is there any way to teach it this is a contact? It spells the name right, so it's close, it just doesn't get that it's a contact. I have added a last name and a phonetic spelling just in case either of those would help.
thanks in advance.
Bump.

Anyone know of an application for android that will speak the number or contact, and the state they are calling from when receiving a call? Also is there an application that will say you have a text message and the name of the person texting you?

Yes sure.. ill find it for you. I used it. Says the name and the number when calling. Txt reads who tested and what the text said. Good for driving.. ill edit this post when I find it.
Edit: sms reader, in market. Try it out. Might be others not sure but I used that one.

My contact names do not appear when I initially navigate to the dialer. After pressing a few numbers and deleting, my contacts appear. Anyone else experience this? It is kind of annoying.

I just got the Inc2 yesterday, and noticed this same problem. rather annoying. I, too, am looking for a solution to this, other than just going through contacts.
I had an Eris before this and kept the sense dialer because I liked it so much. It is very easy to find contacts, just wished they hadn't changed it in the fact that you now have to dial a number and press delete in order for names to begin to appear? I am not quite sure how this doesn't annoy absolutely everyone!?!?

My contacts are there as soon as I open the dialer... However I have noticed that if I don't add the area code first it doesn't register as the contacts number and that is annoying
I am having the same issue as the OP.
I like the stock dialer and really don't want to switch.
Anybody made a call or sent an email to VZ or HTC?
Hey guys I really can figure this out. Can anybody help out?

You have to use another SMS app like Go SMS or something.

+1, definitely in GoSMS, where you add recipients in compose new message you can select entire groups or all contacts...
You can add a bunch of people to the recipient list just by tapping it

GroupText it's in the market.
You can type multiple names in the stock msging app. Just tap on the address bar and keep inputing names.
Mind you, it cant email a group but it can mass text.
I filed a "bug" about this:

What bug? Read posts above yours.
After you enter the first recipient, tap in the TO: field enter another one, then keep adding to your hearts content.

That is a pain in the ass though. Read the report I filed to see why it is.
Not only is it a pain in the ass, but there's also a limit to how many people you can add when using that method.
I can't believe Google still hasn't given us a built-in option to see a list of all contacts with tick boxes next to their names for easy selection. My Symbian phones from 2004 could do that.
i have my home # in my contacts but every time i call home, the name "anna" appears instead of "home". i searched this forum but it didn't seem like anyone has the same problem. thanks in advance.
Do you have your home # and anna linked in your contacts?

I want to send a text with an nfc tag. The Samsung app filled out the the message and who it's going to, but doesn't send.
An app called NFC task launcher states that with their sms plugin, that it will send the text. I get it to open a text with the fields filled out like with the Samsung app, but still won't send. I'm using the uri task, but does same thing. I just can't figure it out, anyone else have any luck it?

Ha, just saw quotation in title instead of question.
You do have NFC checked off in settings right?
Yea, that's how it reads the tags and opens up the message. I just want it to auto-send. I can't figure it out.

What about the NFC call plugin did you down load it?
I did. I have all plugins.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Tried today, works fine. Open NFC task launcher, tap New task, + Add action, phone, Send a text message. Fill in the number, remove the "send a text" in the box and add your text, click OK then at the top right click next then tap the tag to the phone to write the tag. Make sure the tag doesnt have anything else on it. Tap tag, sends text
Got it working, thank you.
There was an update in the market today for the sms plugin. Mine must have been bad. The update also puts the message in your sent message, so you can make sure it went.
