Didn't work for me, any other ideas?
Settings, call settings, additional settings, my phone number.
Make sure that number matches exactly your entry in your phone book. If you don't have an entry for yourself then it won't work. You can set that number to what you like, and it will show whoevers pic matches that number.

Is there a way to add to add 2 mobile numbers for the same contact? I don't why, but people do have more than one mobile, and I just cannot figure out why there is only one Mobile number category in the Contacts option. If anyone knows how to do this, it would be really nice to know. Thanks in advance.

Put the other number at Car field and you will be able to call and send SMS to that number using our device.
Thanks but even after entering it in the Car field I don't get the number when I type a new SMS. (I can send the SMS selecting it manually) It just suggests the number in the Mobile field... so back to square one.
you can create a new text message click contact -> navigate to the caller -> high light the car using your dpad. click menu then click sent text message to

Inesoft Address Book 1.8 or 2.0 has that feature. Just replace one of the fields (say fax,car,etc.) to mobile and you'll have two mobile numbers for a single contact..
Is there a way on the SGS to show my number to people in my contacts list, and not to other pople.
On my last phone, a htc, I could chose:
Sent caller id, none, everyone, only contactlist. On the SGS I can only chose between none and everyone.
Is there a app that does this? Or is there a app what i can put on the home page that can easy toggle caller id on and off. Marketsearch on callerid don't give any usefull tools.

I found the app Prefixer useful - you can create custom rules with custom prefixes as required.
Nope. Looked at it, but isn't a solution. Then i have to make a rule for every contact in my contactlist.
Can't believe there is no app for this.

Hello,
I was wondering if there is any alternative dialer than the standard one -- I'm on Froyo XXJPK.
The problem I have is that searching through contacts results in a match only at the beginning of the Firstname -- not on lastname, nor in the middle of a name. Needless to say, that is quite annoying.
Another feature I am missing is automatic screen locking after a user-specified value while during a call.
TIA for suggestions.
Try Dialer one.

The issue is with the android not with samsung.
This is an open issue under development.

Are you sure ?.... This feature works perfectly fine on an HTC Desire running Froyo: It lists all the matches as I type, and when selecting a contact I can choose which number to call (not only the first).
Even my old Omnia running WM6.5 can do that.

Try DialerOne for one that uses T9 search for both names and numbers...
As for screenlock while on call... no idea about that, while on headset answering a call, the screen locks after 30secs, which is my default setting...
While answering without headsets or on bluetooth, I presume that the screen should be off while you are answering, and thus locking shouldn't be necc...
Shall try it out later...
Google gesture search is sort of another alternative.

What kind of contacts ? Mine are Exchange -- and I cannot edit them in the stock "Contacts" app either (except the name). I need to use TouchDown for that....
Yes, I've now installed Dialer One -- MUCH better !
Many thanks !

I have contacts from Exchange. Search find contacts using firstname, lastname and company info. I can edit exchange contacts too(add/edit numbers, addresses, mail addresses etc). Haven't installed Touchdown.

If I understand the question correctly, they are talking about typing the name in on the dialler number keypad using T9, so 3733 will match Fred Smith but not Bob Fredman. If you go to contacts and do the search there it is fine.

The issue with the contacts is an open issue.
So is the ad-hoc wireless and so is the reverse-tethering...

I am running CyanogenMOD 7 Nightlies and all I was wondering is if I can add or change MY personal profile picture where it shows a picture next to my number when I'm texting.
go to your contacts, add contact with the name me, add your number then add your pic and save it. should be good.
it didn't work.

The method from Havlic did not work for me, because under "call settings" I do not have the option for "additional settings"... dont know why, I am running cm7 nightly, but anyways--
--the solution originally put forward in this thread worked great for me... just created a contact labled "me" and took a picture

Well, no. That's only a "partial" solution.
Once again, two things need to be in place for this to work:
1) You have to let the phone know your own phone number by specifying it in the "Call settings"
2) You have to create a contact with the same phone number and assign a picture to it. It doesn't really matter what name you give to that contact ("Me", "Myself", "Irene" or whatever else).
If you fail to make sure that step 1 is done, then the picture will only "half-work", so to say. More specifically, the picture you used on step 2 will only appear next to incoming messages. But all outgoing messages will have no picture next to them.

There's no such thing as "my contact card" under CM7. You must be thinking about HTC Sense ROM. CM7, unlike Sense, does not have a dedicated contact entry for yourself.
One can be emulated by creating an entry for your own phone number, but it doesn't have to be named "my contact card".
Hi
I use the T9 name search in the Dialer a lot but I have still not figured out how to include a blank space in the name search. For instance i have 3 people with the same first name but a different last name may be like this:
John Taylor
John Smith
John Paul
If I input John in the Dialer it shows all three names but when I try to further refine it using the last name the search results disappear. Which key to use to include a space in the search our may be how to configure it to search it both the first and last names.
HTC diaers and Dialer one from the market had this enabled by default.
How to get this functionally in the stock Samsung Dialer
Thanks in advance.

My stock dialer searches the last name just fine. Make sure you didn't put the full name of your contacts in the first name field, while leaving the last name blank.

Thanks for the reply. My Dialer also searches the last name fine. I just want to get it to search both the first and the last name together.

Bump, want to know the trick to do the dialer using first and last name as well...
Use an asterisk for space. So "John T" would become "5646*8".
From what I can tell, asterisk acts as a limited wildcard for some non-alphanumeric characters.

I have the same question as shamps, and * does not work for me. Nor does #, 0, 1, or just skipping the space and typing the first letter of the last name. I have a Verizon S4.
this must a failure of samsung

This is a serious problem. I surprise how the samsung phone testers and developers missed this? This is not possible to search a contact when there is a blank space in the name. We can only do this with a third party dialer.
I used to use a wonderful t9 dialer called "youlu" dialer which used to not only dial but also store the changed contacts since 5 years. But recently that company closed and it came in the hand of weibo dialer. It has many bugs in it.
I am not satisfied of the rest of t9 dialers available in market.
It's also annoying that the T9 dialer doesn't compare what you've typed against the Company name field in the Contacts. If I want to dial a contact by company name, my only option is to do a search on Contacts to find the right contact.
I switched from HTC one to Samsung Galaxy Note 3. Extremely annoyed with the dialer. This is a SMARTPHONE, isn't it? Other brands are better. Even low priced Chinese ones have better dialers.
The functionality I had on the HTC and would like to have in Samsung phones:
- T9 dialer allows you to search the full names of the contacts, even the organization name
- it remembers the most frequently dialed contact and shows it first on the list
Will someone at Samsung please wake up and fix it? I would not like to install a third party app for this. I would also like to continue to use this phone.
