[Q] Dialer... - G2 and Desire Z General

On my old Tmobile Dash(original) and my old HD2..
The dialer was amazing.....
i was able to start dialing a number, or start spelling out a name, ,and the number i was looking for would show up above, and then i was able to select it and dial...
My wife's stock vibrant has this as well...
Any way to get this onto the G2??

Try dialer one from the market. Its free.

Youlu Address Book does this as well. Plus it looks really cool and clean.

Well, I just had my G2 replaced today from T-Mobile, and to tell you the truth my new G2 has been working better than my pre-release one. Even the hinge is good. Oh, and the new Youtube works great!

It crashed on me the first time I used it after my install. Very troublesome..
Likewise its a major problem with the g2 I checked a lot of the market comments they're saying the same thing so I uninstalled
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
Yup....I just tried it, and it crashed
I uninstalled the update and now it's fine. I hope they fix this soon cause I really like the new UI
I just tried it and it lagged the phone when I quit the app. Everything was responding incredibly slowly - about 15 seconds to flip from one launcher page to the next.
I was finally able to execute a power off sequence and reboot the phone. When it was done booting and the widgets had all settled down I tried viewing the same video again (the "I want an iPhone" animated video) and everything was fine until I quit the video and then the phone was wedged again (15 seconds to switch home pages).
Time to uninstall (if my phone ever reboots)...
works fine here
Thanks guys! Looks like it's split pretty evenly for the most part.
One more question for those that visit other parts of xda - heard anything of the same thing happening on other phones?
At this point, it seems like a big issue, I hope t-mobile posts an update soon.
Its google not T-Mobile

I just recently installed the latest version of YouTube and it's working great. Prior to that, it wasn't logging me into my google account but this new one is running fine.

tried the app twice and both times I had to pull the battery out to reboot the phone. Super lag. Uninstalled the update and the stock works great

Either or can do it. T-mobile through an OTA (they've had to do this before for an issue), or the app creator. It all depends on the circumstance. I'm betting the fix will come from tmobile's side though. Not that I would depend on them, I just have a hunch.
Eveything is working fine here. On a side note the people that are having probelms are you logged in?
I remeber back on my g1 I had problems with youtube only when I was sign in

hi i didnt want to start a new post but i have a prob with youtube i was going to upload a 4min video from my g2 but it keeps saying you can not upload a video larger than 1gb i know a 4min vid is not over 1g can anyone give me a hand im not new to android so i know something is set wrong are im missing something
Its probably an HD video and Id assume the mobile youtube version does not allow you to upload that large of a file. Your best bet, upload it to your computer and to do it from their.
i cant even find the vid on the phone with my pc how do i get in to the gallery the vid says location unknown and its not showing a file size i took the vid on the g2s camera

Could I facetime someone with an iphone?

Well I got a G2 and I'm thinking about switching it to the mytouch 4g.. a lot of my friends got iphone 4s and facetime each other all the time. If I got the mytouch would it be possible to facetime them?
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
No. iPhone's facetime is proprietary system. Only iSheep can do it.
you can talk to them through the yahoo app though thats also available on iphone 4s
that sucks I only got a couple days to either trade my g2 for the mytouch or keep it, front facing cam is the only difference...
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
i returned my g2 a week or so ago, i have a lot of friends with iphone 4s too, ill just talk to them through the yahoo app if i really want to, but i dotn need a keyboard and i wanted an led indicator...so this phone suits me better
Download an app called "Tango" from the marketplace and have your iFriends download the same app from their App Store. It's very similar to FT, very clean and minimal. It automatically searches for contacts with the app downloaded. Enjoy!
What about Fring?
I agree, tango is the way to go. I like how it shows the ppl in your contacts who already have it, regardless of they phone or carrier.
and you can use it even if you don't have a FFC

2 thumbs up for Tango...I found it to be better than Fring and QiK...

Using US Iconia in the UK

Hi I have a few things to ask. I just received an iconia from the us, and the phone numbers in the contacts app appear in the American format with the dashes between the numbers, is there a way to change this to be like the normal uk number format

I haven't used it on Honeycomb, but it worked great on 2.x - let me know if it works for you on your tablet.

You need fo sync the contacts folder to your tab to be able to choose a new contact... The numbers frequently make a new conversations with the area code (so u have 2 contact windows open) it also can have trouble pairing... Dont get me wrong i like it.. Infact im using it now just small bugs like i said make it annoying at times

I have been using it with touchdown and the contacts have been flawless. You should let the dev know he has been pretty responsive

[Trick] How to send SMS using your beloved Tab!

Am not sure if this is discussed somewhere.
Anyway, just to share.
Here's how:
Every mobile broadband card comes with a number, and that number will be used when you send / receive SMS.
- Download official Go SMS Pro here and install on your tablet
- Launch the app and send SMS to your other mobile number that you are using to make calls
- The sender number is what your friends will see when they read your SMS from Tab!
Enjoy
On European 3G devices, there is a stock app called Messages, so i don't think that third party app is needed.
For those with the wifi only version , check out TexTab.

Until Verizon releases Touchwiz for the LTE versions, this seems like a good alternative. I'm going to test it now.
EDIT: Does not work on mine, says "cannot send message, will send it when the service becomes available" and that message sits there forever until I uninstalled it.
That's because verizon blocks text messaging with their tablet plans.

Interesting... Strange that they advertise it as a capability, and plan on including it with their touchwiz update.

Yea I work for verizon and whenever I sell a tablet, a provision is loaded onto their account called "block text messaging". It's very odd indeed since the original galaxy tab allowed you to pick a texting bundle.

I simply use Google Voice on my wifi Tab. Works perfectly.

I been using Heywire and it works well, gave me a regular US number.
If anyone has a 3G tab with Touchwiz, but no Messages app. Try to send a sms to your data plan number, i think that the Messages app appeared after i received the first sms message from my operator.
