Haven't found a way to remove frequently called or contacted from the phone or people app. Kinda sux seeing my ex's info right there every single time. Temps me to text or call. And yes drunk texts apply here so it'd b nice to be able to remove these on demand lol
Anyone know how?

Press the menu button and then clear call log.

Not the call log. The frequently contacted. Its the last column in each app, phone app and people app. designated with a star icon at the top of the people app

Oh sorry. I misunderstood you. You could try clearing data in the contacts app. Not contact storage.
I haven't tried it so I can't confirm. That's my only educated guess.

Hold down on contacted and then hit the 3 dot thing and tap remove from log. To remove favorites you gotta log in and click on contact and then find the find the setting to remove starred contacts but it didnt update on phone. I dont know how to proceed with that part.

Bump. This really is annoying.

Only way I have found is to clear data for contacts storage. Really annoying, hope they add it in later on.

Clearing data in contacts storage works on mine, and it must on yours as well.
Only thing I can think of if that doesn't work, is if you store your contacts on phone or sim. But can't understand why you would do that.

How can this data be cleared? I have been trying to find a way to clear the frequently called list for weeks since ICS came out!!

Anyone thought about checking in their Gmail account online to see if Google has said contact(s) flagged as frequently contacted?

Sadly that clears even the call log. I want to clear the frequently called list or some specific numbers from that list but maintain my history.
I don't mind the frequently called list to be hidden since I can manually clear the history. Frequently called list however does not allow deleting some numbers.

This really is annoying.

you could just install exdialer from the market. you can delete individually calls from call history (incoming/outgoing/missed). and you get T9 dialing with it as well as a bunch of other useful stuff missing from the stock dialer.
doesn't consume much resources, very fast, and you can have it look almost exactly like stock dialer with its ICS theme.
If you want to have the same stock dialer icon you can use desktop visualizer (free) and link it to the stock dialer icon.

Potential [BUG] regarding MMS on the new ICS update.

Ok I brought this up on the discussion but I'm hoping this will garner more attention. I did the manual update for the ICS OTA and I noticed this bug. When trying to send a MMS message, it gets stuck on "sending". I'm not sure if there's an issue with receiving a message but I'm testing that right now. Text messages send and receive like normal. Also I wanted to point this out that I have not had this issue with any previous ICS roms including the FF18 leaks. Network Vision is currently being done in my neighborhood but right now I have excellent speeds and signal, usually when they work on the towers I roam.
Can anybody else test this out?

I had this issue on the final leak last week or so. Wouldn't send for anything. Text was fine

Discussion thread is talking about this a little more but seems it may be a network issue and not a s/w issue. Know the area I'm in is under NV work at the moment so it is in the realm of possibility.

I had problems sending on the FF18 leaks too. It affected both MMS and SMS on a couple different roms. Couldn't figure out how to fix it so I'm on an older leak now that I didn't have any problems with.

I thought I had the same issue, but my mms went thru after about 5 minutes each time.

What about MMS going to the top of the conversation instead of staying at the bottom like all recent/new messages? Has anyone had that issue?

I've had text messages hang at sending and failed many times on many ROMs. I've noticed that if I try sending a text over 160 characters it hangs and fails. I have taken the same text and split it into more than one message and they go thru. since using the option in the messenger app to automatically split messages containing more than 160 characters, I've had no issues sending.

I have seen this happen in the past as well. All texts stack in sequence unless you receive a picture or something. The picture is located at the beginning of that conversation.
I haven't figured out what causes that, but I haven't had that happen in a long time now. I had this issue the most while using handcent instead of the native messenger app.
I now use the native messenger app and have no other SMS apps installed, and haven't had this issue since adopting this new policy.

The bug that i have isn't with the mms, but whenever i try to uninstall an app, through APP info, it just hangs there, In GB most of the apps that im removing from FF18 now just takes waaay to long, and it just looks like its frozen, is this normal with ICS?.. or is this a bug?
only mod's i've done is DPI 160 and memory stick speed 2048 with RoomToolBox, and Titanium back up for the rest of the apps.

I've had this issue prior to update. I've been told by sprint it is a network/ google voice issue

If it's a system app, it may not uninstall on the FF18 ROM. I have had this happen using titanium to uninstall data apps too. When it happens I close out titanium and reopen it and it instantly uninstalls the apps I choose to in that session.

well its the Preloaded Nova 2 HD a system app? because i gives me the option to uninstall it from the applications menu withing the rom, and i was using titaniumbackup as my second tool, since regular uninstalling was functioning the way that i was mentioning.

That's odd... been uninstalling bloat to stock via TB on every ICS build, inc. FF18 and no problems here. But I do backup most apps first before removing.

Yes, Nova 2HD is a system app and FF18 build removed the ability to uninstall them from the application menu.

I also have been using TB on every GB and ICS and haven't had an issue with it. But i put it out there because I have read on other threads people complaining that they couldn't uninstall certain apps after FF18 update even using TB. I personally haven't experienced this on my phone.

Ya know it might not be a bad idea for people to start posting their location on the network too actually see if the network might be to blame. I'm in central Massachusetts and have been running these leaks since FF02 and never had any problems sending or receiving mms on 3g or WiFi. Can't say for 4g because it's not available here.

Anyone facing problem with dialer and phone storage?

Sent from my HTC One V using xda app-developers app

Whenever I try to dial someone's number using htc stock dialer, I often receive a message saying "com.android.phone has stopped working. would you like to send report? " and sometimes it happens with people app too. I just did the latest system update but the problem still persists. My phone is unrooted and has stock htc rom. Please help me with the issue.

I have the same problem. My one v is on the latest update(2.09.720.1). This is the only complaint I have with my otherwise awesome phone. :crying:
Does anyone have simlar problems? Is there anything you have done to rectify it?

Yea i thought the problem occurs due to large phone storage(Facebook, Google, twitter ) I have. So i kept only Google and removed everything else, but even that didn't help. Have u tried anything for it?

The dialer seems to work a lot better now. Thanks for that :laugh: . But the contacts storage app takes a lot of time to load and crashes frequently. Can you suggest anything for that?

In my contacts storage, everything except for phone is unchecked but I have still been facing this problem for 3 months now. So frustrated!

Saving mms

Is there any way to get the stock messaging app to automatically change the file name when saving an mms? It promts me every time telling me to rename it or else it will overwrite the last one... Not the end of the world, but incredibly irritating.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium

No idea, but if you just want a convenient backup of your texts, this one seems them to your gmail. They'll be threaded weird and out of order, but easily searchable.
Oops, I can't post links yet. It's called SMS Backup+, available on the play market.

I do actually use that (and have been for quite awhile) its very handy for lots of reasons. I just like saving all of them to my phone too though.

I have the same problem, you can continue naming each individual picture with numbers you just randomly think of, its rare I repeated the same number. Or download a third party app like Handscent or Go SMS which just downloads the MMS without worrying about a particular designation. Every once in awhile you run across a Touchwiz rom that doesn't have this problem, but its usually a ASOP rom that just downloads MMS without this problem.

That's about what I figured. I used to use handcent but the stock app has made leaps and bounds over the years so I like sticking with that. I've been doing the random letters after going to save it, but in you ef up and do by chance pick something you already used, it will overwrite it.

Any update or solution to this issue? From what I remember my Samsung Epic 4G did not have this problem, as a matter of fact it did exactly what we are trying to get the Galaxy S3 to do by default. I find that this should have not been an issue, why on earth would someone NOT think to make this a basic function/feature?....

blacked out SMS/MMS

I can't take credit for this but I want to share it with everyone because its so much better then stock

thats not what im asking. the message center number for at&t is different for t-mobile so if this is for t-mobile only then it changes the message center number making it impossible to send and recieve texts on my at&t phone with out having to call in and get the right one back. if it keeps my phones sms settings and just pretty much themes it then no worries but if its built to run on t-mobile and has t-mobile defaults then it changes the number and then puts anyone not on that service out by having to re obtain the right number. sorry to get all technical but id much rather remove and install rather than to do both and then call at&t to fix it so i can send messages.

It will work with att perfectly fine. And everything works including MMS. Your needs to be rooted and you need to delete your original messaging system app before you install the new one and another cool thing about this app is that it will change with 90% of themes you put on your phone and most SMS /MMS mods won't I'm sure you will not be disappointed with this app ..

if it wont install just delete the stock app copy this one after you download it and move it to system/app then reboot. i had to but after i removed the stock one i didnt reboot before i tried installing this one. but its as simple as moving it if it wont install. works fine for me and looks really good on this phone.

Does the quick reply still show up with this installed? I love that thing but I like the black window.

I can receive MMS messages fine but it FC's on me when I try and send a MMS.

+1 on that. i cant send pics or vids either. it either fc's or says it cant send. either one just leave a blank tile and says sending until i delete the whope thread. anyway you can pist the stock app so we can have full functionality back?
