Features missing in Ics?

Hi again, just a couple of features I have noticed missing, or not found them....
First is being able to long hold a contact and send business card etc,
And the other one is deleting individual calls from call history, either in batch or long pressing.
Any one else found some features you'd expect missing or if the ones above will be included in a software update?

You can't zoom in the photo edit application,which makes it absolutely impossible to remove red eyes even though there is such a functionality. Tried it several times already, the built in flash almost always guarantees red eyes.

I'm running ICS on my nexus s and I couldn't find any way to send contact info by sms to someone. Is this feature missing on the galaxy nexus also?

Copy and pasting pics like in ios. I miss that a lot.

Go into the individual entry in the Phone application, hit the menu button, hit Remove from call log.
Don't know why people are having a hard time with this...

completely agree! this is perhaps the most user friendly android experience thus far! perhaps it'll just take some a little bit of getting used to!

When I hit share I get offered yo send in many ways, but not SMS!

If I remember correctly, stock Android hasn't had SMS business card sharing for a long time. It's no new discovery with Android 4.0

OK, thanks for the help. Seen the delete call option now. But no SMS sharing.
Galaxy s2 had it, so must be the touchwiz.
Phone is amazing all in all tho!

Ics features Missing
update which misses the core features of ICS. Still its getting rolling to many country almost 4 days gone.
Native 3G VIDEO CALL.- why we have a front camera where we cant use it for video call. Its not fair
WIFI-DIRECT- The most welcomed features. Thought its being the highend smart phone we already misses the 4.0 bluetooth which the board can support but atleast the WIFI capable direct transfer technology which most company including samsung incorporated even in GB phone and adding to these the white paper reveales that its has the technology in buit. But why its not implemented in the latest build.
Camera : Burst Mode. Many low end smartphones has that features. Why we dont have that feature. its really a pain that having spent on high end phone lacks basic functionality where a mediocre devices can perform the same functionality at a fraction of price.
I am not pin pointing or complaining. I am just esclating to the right department to notify that these core features which are missing in the XS.
Please take it as a feedback and do the needfull to the owners of XS.
Thanks

The use of wifi direct. Setting an external MP3 as a ringtone without the use of any apps or moving the MP3 to another location on the phone. In the contacts app, choosing to view only people with cellphone numbers (again, without using any other external app)

Sending sms or email to a group. I don't know why such a simple feature is absent.

Major option missing in that. No sharing via text. That's ****ing stupid to leave out Messaging/Text sharing, which is the main reason to share a contact or business card.

seriously guys move on you live in like 90s.... sms? are you serious? come on... There is like 50 or more social platforms out there way but wayyyyy better than sms.... to name some of them: whatsapp, chaton, viber, etc etc etc, you can send any kind of media any size and create groups or whatever and they are multi platform... meaning they run in blackberry, windows phone, iphone, Android, so what's the deal with sms?

Never even heard of those apps before. Everybody texts still. All my friends, family, and in my business sales SMS texting is very common and popular.
If those apps you mentioned are so great, lets see Android or iPhone incorporate them directly into their OS or some type of version based off them.

Yup yup, it's a bit daft we need to install Skype or something similar. I wish Google would follow suit like other manufacturers and OEMs, and bundle a native video calling app.
Also, a BBM type thing would be nice, preinstalled, so all Android phones come with it. Group chats and the like would be pretty awesome.

I thought Talk was an MSN Messenger type app? You can't use it via the Phone can you? I.e. going to contacts and clicking call - video call. Surely if you want to make a call using Talk, you need to be logged in, and the other person has to be online etc etc?

SMS is still the most common thing, everyone with a phone has it.
Whatsapp? Not all my friends have a smartphone, let alone Whatsapp.

Facebook app update!

Finally, our Facebook looks like the iPhone one (aka way more functional). I love the new layout, and it's working well for me so far!
Post any feedback on the changes if you have any!

I'm just happy I can comment on notifications again lol

It doesn't suck anymore. The app is both more practical and functional. Love it!
It's about time

It seems to have killed my push notifications [via the blackberry method]
These guys really seem incapable of doing anything right.
Push notifications should be the easiest thing in the world to have working.

I had to turn message notifications off, because with the update it would keep renotifying me about the same message, over & over & over...

It's always done that for me. I get about 100 notifications from FB a day telling me I have "x" many messages... just the same ones, nothing new.

looks exactly like the mobile website (which is what i always used). nothing different. fail IMO

I respectfully disagree. The app was acting correctly for me until this update. Now like you said, I keep getting message notifications for the same ones over and over again.
This is another example of my Snowflake Theory of Epic Touch 4G Phones. No two are exactly alike.

Why use the Mobil app when the Mobil site works fine and sends text notifications .I just sync contacts with social hub to get contact pictures since I can't delete it

I like having the app because I can upload pics easily, but I agree the website is usually better. I've been using the app today and it really is much better, at least for me.
I'm not a heavy FB user so maybe that's hy I'm not seeing the issues

Personally, I'm a Friendcaster fan. I gave up on the official app a couple months ago.

I'm a photographer so I love that the new update loads pix faster so I can show off my work faster, great picture quality too. awesome for uploads, no difference in quality uploaded mobile or desktop version.
Yes it makes the same appearance as mobile which is great. Ads just a pinch more functionality.

I did the same. You won't be disappointed by this update.

Remember to download the "permissions denied" app from Stephen (STERICSON) to restrict the facebook app permissions from:
YOUR MESSAGES
EDIT SMS OR MMS
Allows application to write to SMS messages stored on your device or SIM card. Malicious applications may delete your messages.
RECEIVE SMS
Allows application to receive and process SMS messages. Malicious applications may monitor your messages or delete them without showing them to you.
READ SMS OR MMS
Allows application to read SMS messages stored on your device or SIM card. Malicious applications may read your confidential messages.
SEND SMS MESSAGES
Allows application to send SMS messages. Malicious applications may cost you money by sending messages without your confirmation.
These permissions serve NO PURPOSE toward the functionality of the app!

It's even better than ios version... The android version can tag someone using @ in conversation.. The ios one still couldn't do that the last time i check...

I have never even once had the FB app notifications correctly notify me of things. And I have used it on the N1, Hero, Evo 4G, Evo 3D, NS4G, GSII... it has always been that way in my experience.

Like Comments in Photos
I like the latest update, however, you are still UNABLE to like comments that are made on a photo or even UNABLE to view who likes a photo that you were tagged in!! Anybody else out there realize this as well?

[Q] No avatars in stock SMS App?!

Hey guys,
got my One X for a couple of days now, and im pretty blown away by it. But there is one thing that drives me nuts. In the stock SMS app, i cant see contact pictures. As you can see on the image its just blank. But every contact has its facebook photo in the contact list. How can i get this to work right?

A question that what you made fuzzy were numbers or names?
And there is an old bug in Android, in the stock sms app. Where it doesn't recognize contacts. I has it.
So I use a thirdparty app. Handcent.

Well I am not sure you have the bug I do. As said I see only numbers so this might be not even related.
Maybe there is some easy fix for this, try to search or wait till someone more experienced answers.
But you like the stock app. Imagine how much you will love not just like but LOVE the thirdparty app. Handcent or Go SMS.
Just try it if it displays the pics if nothing else . If there are no pics you can rule out the SMS apps and move on to fix your contacts.

I see contact pictures/icons in the SMS application, always have. I think it depends on where your contacts are coming from, mine are from Hotmail Exchange. If I add a picture to a contact on the phone, it appears online as well.

I also see contacts pictures properly from Facebook.

SMS Small App

I did my best to create an decent and free SMS small app.
This can be useful when you want to quickly read/reply to an text message without leaving your current application.
Features:
-send and read text messages in threaded views
-quick access to 5 most recent threads
-communication with native app (through sms database): sent messages will come up in the native apps conversations
What it doesn't (or shouldn't ) do:
-mark messages read by the small app as read in the main app. (see below)
-anything with group messages
-copy/delete/forward/... messages
-show smileys as images (they're shown as plain text), make links,numbers,etc. clickable,...
I tried to mark the messages as read in the native app, and although it worked and the message was read, the native app didn't update his icon nor delete the notification. The unread counter was only reset when another message came in and was opened with the native app. Because of this I decided to not mark them as read at all, so when you would open the message in the native app all counters,notifications etc. would be properly updated.
To run this app, press the recent apps button and look for the sms icon in the horizontal bar (you might need to scroll to the right).
Although no malicious actions are intended at all, this application is in Beta stage (and will remain in that stage for quiet a while, I suspect) and comes with absolutely no guarantees. It might corrupt your sms database, send messages to the wrong persons etc. Usage is at your own risk and application is provided "as is." I recommend to make a backup.

Glad you like it. I won't put it in the play store (for now) because I'm to cheap to pay for developer account, just to release something for free.
By the way, if you find any bugs, please let me know and I'll try to find some time to look into it. Extra features may also be suggested off course, but since I'm really busy it may take quite a while before I start looking into it.

I looked into it, but I'm afraid I will have to disappoint you. Android doesn't have an api to support dual-sim phone and even unofficial documentation seems to be very scarce.

Automatically hide incoming SMS from certain contact?

I know Vault app use to let you hide incoming SMS from certain contacts, that is before Google Store changed its policy. It seems Vault no longer offer an older version for download. Any 3rd party apps that still let you do this? Thanks!

You can try Go SMS pro. I've used it for a couple of years now.

Textra has cool customizations for that, nice n clean

Block on stock app works great. They end up in the blocked folder without notifications.

I used to use the private folder in Go Sms Pro... But i use MOOD sms... It takes a little to set up but theres ZERO add spam and functions and looks way smoother.

Stock messaging app does this, no need for a 3rd party app. Open the message thread from the contact in question and hit the 3-dot menu, then custom notifications. You can turn off notifications completely, mute sounds, hide the content, etc. I have my kid's dad muted like this lol.

Private/hidden messages are very much different from blocking. The goal isnt to mute notifications. Its to seperate your main txt threads from your private txt threads. Stock doesn't allow this, not even when using Samsung's own secure folder app. So a 3rd party Apps like go sms... Mood... Textra... Etc are still needed for this level of functionality.

Ive always used Handcent Messaging. Has a private messaging feature that keeps certain contacts out of your main messaging window.

This thread just made my day... "Tryna" get back to work now...? BTW, Textra is a great app but doesn't support private folders, not that I've been able to find anyway...

I have used gosms and it was pretty nice. Dont know if thats still available but it a search.

I need help as after update ui 2.0 i am unable to turn off banner notifications
