I can´t delete a call from my history with android O as I could do with android N. Is it possible?

With the default dialer: tap the call, tap call details, top right tap the garbage bin icon to delete.
BTW the phone dialer is independent of which Android version you're using and gets updated though the Play Store.

How do you enable dialing contacts by spelling out their name on the dial pad? This was my most heavily used feature on my TB. I'm hoping I don't have to flash a custom rom just for this! .. thx!
I know I'm using the exDialer which supports both speed dial (long press a single number) and the dial by name feature. Both of which are lacking from the stock dialer.
I'm also using exDialer and I like it a lot. Way better than the stock dialer.
After you bring up the dialer hit the search button bottom right.

Yes that feature sux as it requires 5+ clicks as opposed to dialing it directly....
honestly there are tons of features that are just missing from this phone that I used all the time on my TB...
like a global search button (?!? wtf google) I never use the google search bar... and I wish I could reverse the home / back buttons...and remove altogether the recent apps button (I never use that either).... i guess my only option is a custom rom? any good ones out there that allow this? Or do I have to replace the launcher? I'd rather not do that tho bc i dont want any lag..... thx!
I use exdialer as well. If you're on a custom rom, there's a cm9 dialer that adds this functionality, but it doesn't work on stock roms.
Use the microphone icon on the google search bar on the homepage. "Call Dave on mobile". Works fine for me.

Yea I'm sure it works but I'd rather not announce who im calling to the whole room sometimes... dial by voice has its benefits but its just not for me I guess..

I'm also using exContacts along with Desktop VisualizeR to replace the stock dialer/contacts launch icons. That way it looks stock but opens the extools.

Oh sweet... thanks!
This was actually something that I thought would be included in ICS stock dialer. Really surprised Google hasn't figured this one out yet. Oh well.
As many others have already stated, exDialer is a free app available on the market that satisfies all your smart-dialing needs. There's even a free ICS theme available as well. I truly love this dialer in comparison to the stock ICS dialer, which was lacking so much - which I noticed right away when I got my GNex. All is well now though with exDialer installed.
Texting as well?
A little off topic but today I transferred all my contacts from my Evo3d to my Nexus. This evening I tried to send a text message and thought I could just type the contact's name into the To: field and have the phone pick it up from my contacts list. It didn't happen. Am I missing something?
thx ill check it out
one weird thing that i've noticed is the avatars for my friends in the contact list is super low resolution for some reason... its the contacts that have facebook "linked" to each contact - any idea how to fix this? It should be showing the full resolution of the image not a 120x120 pixelated image.....
also how to search the contact list for duplicates? HTC does this automatically and suggests that contacts be "linked"..... but on the GN, you have to do it contact by contact which is a PITA when you have 400+ contacts..... ideas? Thx everyone for the help!

switch to go sms pro - its much better than the stock app! be sure to disable the notifications of the stock sms app after u install it.
Pure Android Nexus & AOSP Roms don't include the feature the OP is looking for.
Just to answer the OP's question, pure Google Android Nexus phones have never included the feature you are looking for, same goes for most AOSP roms. CM doesn't include it either.
Seems silly, I don't know why, I always dial people by putting in the first few letters of their name also and the number pops up. Wish the pure Nexus line included that.
In the stock dialer, it requires more steps to get to one's contact list or dialer pad (for T9 dialing)
Has anyone found a good way to open the dialpad directly from a homescreen shortcut, or access favorite contacts directly?

thanks - I have GB and the option checked, but it doesn't do anything for me
tried using secure settings to access all the child activities under the phone app as parent, but none of those worked either
the multiple steps just to make a phone call is frustrating ... guess as time goes by, devs start to forget that the smartphone is actually meant to be used as a phone (too)!

maybe you could use direct dial widget
Would someone with the US version look at the version number of the default phone app and tell me what it is. For some odd reason I don't have it on my phone so I installed version 3.0.20.25 from apkmirror and I just want to check if that's the latest version. I said US version because I don't know if the version numbers change according to country. I only discovered this when I was trying to test the sensors and the access codes wouldn't work with the Google dialer. I also don't have a clue as to why it wasn't installed on my phone.
Thanks
The dialer app is actually called "Contacts"

That's what I figured but there was no option in my contacts app to access the dialer. If I didn't dial a contact, there was no other option...weird. I was trying to avoid a reset just for that so that's why I went to apkmirror. I'm pretty sure contacts had the dial option when I got the phone and I did install the Google dialer because I like it more but I can't see why that would affect the Contacts dialer. BTW, I did uninstall the Google dialer to check if that was disabling it somehow.
EDIT: What version of Contacts do you have? This is turning into one big mystery that has me puzzled.

Mine is 3.8.20.11
The dialer part is just a small hovering circle icon with the number pad image on it at the lower right side of each part of the contacts app
You just press that and the dialler slides up, there is no actual dedicated tab for it
My guess is that the contacts app was no longer set as default for dialler because of the Google one

All I have is the plus for adding a contact. It is still the default phone app also. I guess for now I'll leave the Samsung phone app installed and use that. Thanks
EDIT: My version of contacts is 3.8.01.20 and that has to be what came on my phone. I tried to install the version you have but it wouldn't install over the system version I already have.

Yea since Oreo you can no longer manually update system apps
There are 3 "phone" apps too if you enable "Show system apps" in Settings > Apps, one is the contacts app for some reason now called phone, and the other two are probably needed for the dialler I would assume

Yep it's a mystery. ? I'm doing a complete restore now but I'm still on that older version and still no dialer symbol after the restore. I do have the three phone apps also.

The app version will differ with different firmware, I'm guessing yours is a snapdragon, mine is the Exynos with O2U CSC firmware
Might be able to fix it by just flashing the same firmware over the top though, no data loss and "should" repair system files

Make a long tap on the app icon, choose App Info, Manage Notifications, move slider to allow notifications. Optionally fine tune the notifications in sub menues that will become available.
