ICS users - hiding email contacts with no phone number?

I just upgraded to an ICS build and noticed I cant find a menu option to select "hide contacts with no phone number", so now I have hundreds of contacts to sift through before finding the person I want.
Anyone know where the option is hiding?

Contacts>Settings

hmm I dont have those options, and I dont have "contacts", I just have "people". My menu is different than that if I hit settings.

Usless post Drumrocker that looks like gingerbread to me. AFAIK there is no "hide contacts with no phone number" in ICS. I have looked in vain for it as well. I have Android 4.0.3 on my phone at the moment. Maybe it will be fixed in later release of Android...
It seems logical to include that feature. Why wasn't it? we may never know...

Goodness has it

That option is there. Go into contacts. Then hit menu and select settings.

Actually I'm having the same issue. I only have the list by and display contacts by. I'm using the CyanogenMod9 for GSAce (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1490867)

I have seen this before...
The thing is, Samsung with their Galaxy SII ICS Rom and touchwiz interface don't seem to have used the "People" app, rather they still use "Contacts". This was on my stock Three (uk) branded SGS2 ICS phone.
Actually, it's not the same as the stock gingerbread contacts app, because on ICS they have taken away a few of the tabs at the top - something which is really annoying because you have to switch between the dialer app and contacts app in ICS when in gingerbread the tabs were the same across both apps.
I digress..
Samsung's ICS rom is not the same as the vanilla google one.
oh, and the hide "contacts with no numbers" option IS available on the SGS2 ICS stock rom (on three uk anyway).
I can't find it in the people app. I'm now using Resurrection Remix ICS AOKP ROM for Galaxy S2 i9100! [UPDATE][v.1.8.1] [Best ICS ROM], which has the Apex launcher.
For what it's worth, I miss some of touchwiz's tweaks...

oh, and i forgot to say...
you can *sort of* hide contacts in the dialer app, by using customised view, and then removing any accounts which you know don't have phone numbers in..
Great for filtering out email adresses, but not so good where facebook is concerned, as it's likely 50% of your contacts have listed their number....

Go to contacts app then hit menu > settings > 1st option on the list display only contacts with phone numbers > Check. This is on stock ics and has been on all the ics builds i've tried which are fd22-24 and fe07.

Can't stand AOSP-based calendar and some things about ROM

This is coming from a TouchWiz-based ROM.
1. The AOSP calendar is nice and slick looking, but I can't point and hold a calendar entry and drag it to a new time slot. I HAVE to click edit and manually edit in the new time, meaning you lose visibility of your other appointments.
How do I get the TouchWiz calendar on this AOSP rom, or is there any calendar you can recommend? I would LOVE to get the TouchWiz version of Calendar on the Nexus. I can't drag entries with AOSP calendar. The only other calendar app that can do this is Business Calendar, and here's what it looks like:
This is what a typical day looks like:
https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/8hfObdeEkVj9SV2NQMYs4tD9pFGyYEySeJ2XOt5Mynk?feat=directlink
Look at the entry for 11:30AM - 12:30PM! It's completely, utterly hidden.
2. "Send Contact Information" seems to be missing. I can't press and hold on a person's number and click "Send Contact Information" to automatically text it to someone with the person's name already filled out. I can only copy the number, then I have to manually click on text, then press and hold to paste, then type in the person's name, and click send.
I'm using Google Voice so this is now a moot point
3. Why doesn't the color coding of my calendar entries match the color coding on my actual desktop Google Calendar?
fixed
4. The stock dailer in TouchWiz is superior to AOSP since I can directly text through the dialer as well.
work-around found
5. Stock calculator in TouchWiz is better since it shows history. This can easily be fixed with another calculator app though.
not a big deal
The big thing for me is the calendar. When you have to manage and shuffle around 20-some entries in a single day, the AOSP Calendar is absolutely un-usable. I need to at least be able to drag and slide around entries. Tried Jorte, aCalendar, Business Calendar. Still can't drag and drop entries.

You can surely text thru the stock dialer, just click the text button.
The calendar doesn't have drag and drop. But I love using the calendar in tablet mode.

Is this thread a Q&A or a rant?
1. True, you cannot. Check the play store. There are 100s of calendars.
2. Not via sms. You can share using many other methods. Just choose a contact, then menu>share.
3. Mine matches up fine on all of my devices.
4. You definitely can. Click on their thumbnail and the contact window will pop up. Or you can click the number and press the "text message" icon on the right.
5. As you said, there are many other options in the play store.

Recommendations on cals that can drag and drop entries? Or how to install the TouchWiz calendar?

Doesn't on mine. I have 10 different color schemes. 5 main ones.

Where is there a text button?

Response in bold.

Another thing:
When I click on any of the contacts it starts to automatically dial them. I would like to click on a contact, view the contact (so that I can share it, copy the number, add in new info, etc), and then if I choose, dial it. Why does it start dialing automatically?
TouchWiz doesn't do this. It actually first goes to a view contact page when you click on the contacts icon through the dialer.

I didn't know you were talking about from the dial pad, but isn't it just as easy to open the messaging app and adding the number there? You can text through the history tab though.
I can't really help you with touchwiz-esque replacements from the play store because I haven't used touchwiz before.
I know you probably have a habit of doing things a certain way; we all do. Perhaps the answer to a few of your issues is learning a new way to go about certain tasks. If not, maybe the Nexus isn't for you, which is fine.
My advice would be to try a bunch of different replacement apps in the play store. Hopefully you will find ones that suit your needs.

Use the people app to do that. The contacts tab through the dailer is meant to quick call. Or you can click the thumbnail to bring up the pop-up and click the thumbnail again.

This bothered me as well at first till I figured it out. First go into Google calendar on a pc, and set everything to the colors you want (no idea if this can be done thru the phone)
Go to the calender menu and select 'calenders to display' and at the bottom of the list of calendars press the button 'calenders to sync' and make sure everything you want to sync is checked and oress ok.
Go back and select the calenders you want to display in the app, they should have the color coding right next to the names.
Hope this was what you were talking about and that it helps you..

Just press on the picture of the contact (not the name/number) on the left and a pop up will show you the rest of their info. Click on the big picture in the pop up to go to the people app where you can share, edit, etc.

I understand that there's a bias towards the way "things were always done." But in the calendar's case, say that you need to swap two entries.
Entry 1 at 1PM and Entry 2 at 5:30PM. These need to have their times swapped with each other.
In TouchWiz this can be accomplished with two swipes.
In AOSP this needs 10 or more taps, going in and out of the calendar view and the edit entry view, and for you to remember that you need to put Entry 1 at 5:30 (not 4:30, not 6:30), etc.
This is simply a matter of a horrible user interface and user experience.

Is it possible to get the TouchWiz calendar on this device?

Touchwiz is a skin on top, you can try go launcher with is other goodies like go contacts and more.
You can also try the touchwiz ux port search for it. Think its on market too.

Wow I just realized that you can't share a contact via sms as well!
How dumb....this feature was even available on Nokia S60 and I used it quite a bit on my Captivate and SGS2!

I wish it were that easy. The main concern is the calendar. It's more than just a skin.

Notification only work with certain apps or ALL apps?

I thought Android Wear can display any notification from my Note 3, but it didn't for most of my apps.
Example:
1. there is a notification from Samsung calendar for an upcoming meeting 5 minutes. Nothing is shown in my watch.
2. I am in a mall and Google Now show cards about movie times and places to eat. Nothing in my watch.
In contrast, my old Pebble can show ALL notifications, whether it's from Google Now or some 3rd party app.
Do I need to do something?

How does this app work to show history alerts and content of stacked alerts?

the app basically keeps track of notifications and provides the history (prior alerts) as a scrollable view on the Wear.
It basically is a proxy for any notification from your android to your wear - with the ability to customize things (like vibration and sender pictures ) that the original app may not yet have done (for the wear).

I seem to have the same problem. On my Galaxy Tab S 8.4 with Touchwiz based Rom the notification of Power Amp for example isn't appearing on my watch. Paired to my Galaxy S3 (CM based Rom) it works as expected (every notification gets copied).
Problem with Touchwiz based Rom's?

[Q] Save voicemail as mp3?

All,
I have a voicemail on my phone that I would like to archive. My phone is rooted and is running Android 4.1.2, build MA7. Voicemail is the standard Sprint app, version T.6.0.1.6.
Ideally, I would like to find the file on the phoen and transfer it. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Ah the beauty of the multi screen. .. hold down the back button until the multi screen ago drawer appears. . On the left side of your screen. .. tap the drawer to open it. . Tap and drag the voice mail app on to the main screen. . Then tap and drag the voice recorder app on to the bottom of the screen. . Starr the recorder.. the play the voice mail app.

Other option is to open the voice mail. . Tell it to share. .. upload it to your Google drive. . Then convert it with any number of free conversion programs you can find online.

Should have been able to figure this out on my own. Worked like a charm - thanks.

Few how to questions.

Can anyone help me, not sure if this is possible but thought id ask.
Anyway to change the layout of albums in gallery?
Anyone know how to get rid of this annoying notification?
Anyway to change the layout of bookmarks in the stock browser?
Anyway to have the phone open up directly to the dialer? Its extremely annoying searching for a contact thru the search with the extra step.
Anyway to get rid of youtube adds without being rooted. I dont want to pay for their subscription.
Anyway to have the backround on home screen switch randomly to selected pictures?
Anyone recommend a simple task killer? I was using the stock one from samsung on my note 4 but cant find it anywhere.
Anyone know how to change the edge color of choice to an assigned contact?
Again not sure if there is anyway to do this cause i havnt found a way, but maybe someone else has found a way.

Wallpaper changer is an app I use

I will try that thank you.

Anyone else? Would be much appreciated.

The keyboard notification should be killable by looking pressing the notification and disabling notifications for the keyboard. Works for the Google keyboard. Don't know about Samsung/others.
This links to a system wide add blocker. In theory it should catch everything. I pay for All access/YouTube Red, so i can't tell you if it blocks those ads but seems to work elsewhere.

With the phone, you can just push dialer button instead of searching and it supports old school T9 (?) text entry to quickly get to a contract as well. Didn't see a setting to go straight into it though. You might be able to do it with a Nova activity. I'm sure a third party dialer app or maybe even a widget would be able to do it too.
For the task killer, I just use Android's built in app switcher if I need to close anything. Swipe away individual apps or close all with one button.
Not sure I understand your "edge color of choice"question, but you can assign contacts to the five provided colors if you're talking about "people edge".
Hope this helps.
