I've always used , (pause) and ; (long pause) in my contacts phone number to dial extensions, voice mail password, etc. It looked like this:
(my voice mail number),(my password)
So I didn't have to dial my password every time I wanted to check my voice mail. It used to work perfectly fine on SGSII, but I recently got a Nexus 4 and sometimes it just doesn't work. It's as if there is no number after the pause. Is anyone else experiencing this issue? Is there any workaround?

You have to use the menu button to add pauses.
Actually, there is no menu button on Nexus 4. There is an icon with three vertical dots on the up right corner, which has nothing to do with pauses and long pauses. However the keypad in SwiftKey itself has two options ( , and ; ) which I think are used to insert pauses.

The action overflow acts as the menu button. Go to your dialer and hit the menu button. There is an option for it.

Here is some new dialer. I like it a lot. Especially in car.
http://www.mesoftware.co.nr
It's more comfortable than original one.
T9-like search of contacts from dialer itself. Dial any number from contacts with 4-5 finger taps max.
Quickly accessed picture dialing.
Changable skins.
Only things that lack are - quick access to call history and to new note.
But the developers promise to add soon.
Looks really nice. Good alternative to Finger Clix which I have already purchased.
Unfortunately, it can not map to the default green phone key - probably not possible at all unless you replace a system dll.
Regards
Michael
give this a try... MobiDial

Excellent program JaToAc but it is a bit slow to load once you press the green phone key. I am missing something or is not possible that when you enter a number directly to be able click somewhere to store the number as a new contact. So far I have not been able to do this with any of the dialers I have tried. Any info would be appreciated.
you cant do it with both dialers (adding a number from the dialer)
but phoneplus is the best dialer there is today.
mobidial is too slow and not using quick search for contacts, which is really dumb cause it does the same thung the default does (so why buy).
i bought the phoneplus and really enjoying every second, plus the writers of the program are intending on improving it a lot.
Silly question but what is T9 dialling?? I have seen it mentioned lots of times here but I have no clue what it is.
Thanks

Dialing with your contacts woth the keys of a normal phone, so for the b you press the 2 and for the a you press the 2 again, for the r you press the 7 and for the t the 8. Then you can call Bart...
Is there any alternative phone app to replace the stock phone app just like launcher application?
The stock phone app comes with i9000 will open back to the dial pad every time when I open it, instead of the last function being used, which will be more convenience if it could back to the same place like call log. Is there any way to change this behavior? I don't see there is any setting in the phone app.
Thanks.

Can dialer one disable/remove missed calls notifications in the notifications bar when opening the dialer? (Like the default dialer does)
I tried to uncheck the settings (Dont clear missed call icon in notification settings), but it didnt work.
I have to manualy go into the notification bar and Delete the missed call each time.
If you use LauncherPro you can longclick the Phone icon on the dock and choose the Phone app from the applications list. It will then open up properly, displaying the call log if that was the last tab you used on the phone app.
Seems to be a bug (or feature for all I know) in launcherpro that makes it always open on the dial pad
can you get a new app for receiving calls? stock one sucks

I'm using firmware JM2 and the stock dialer defaults to whatever screen I was last using...just tested it
Can anyone confirm if their stock dialer just searches through first-names of contacts when they use the keypad to type a name?
In mine if I type the surname of a contact it is not found.

If you change 'Order of display name' to 'Last Name First Name' in Contacts, dialer will search for last names.
Hello all, recently, i realized the 'delete' icon from the gallery app has been replaced by the screen mirroring icon (even though screen mirroring is not turned on). If i want to delete photos now, I have to press the left key and hit 'delete' or hold the photo down to select it... before deleting it.
I have tried all means and ways to get the delete icon back, cleared cache and data from the gallery app, turning on and off screen mirroring etc... restarting all... but it does not seem to come back at all.
Can anyone advise me on how to get the 'delete icon' back? been trying to search for answers but couldnt find one so far. Here's a screenshot for you... i believe most of you would have the delete icon in place of the screen mirroring icon

i updated the software recently to the MEA version and bam! the delete icon just went missing.
Anyone has any solution to this? I dont need the screen mirroring icon! I need the delete icon!!!
It is not at activated at the top anymore it's activated at the bottom.
Long press the thumbnail... the delete icon will appear along with multi select.

I think if you press the menu button on the phone there's a delete option there too.

The ui change cannot be worked around short of rooting the device to modify the gallery app or not rooting and using a third party gallery.

Guys, is there possibility to change Contacts apk? The fact is that Call button at Contacts apk is far from contacts icons. When you use only one hand, for example left hand, in order to call from Contacts you need to move and hold out your left hand's thumb to right side of Contacts. But if Call buttons were just near contacts icons, if would be much easier to make a call. Is it possible to do that? Please, just tell me how

Hi
You can change positions of Dial, Call logs, contacts and so on. In Dialer tap on "3 dots" and choose Edit tabs. Also very comfort is that you can swipe left or right your dialer

Noone can help?
May be anybody can explain me how to do that. I am ready to do it myself, but I do not know how
As title says, do anyone of you know if there is any app or setting to set a software shortcut to put the screen off the same way the power button does?
I don't really like pressing the button all the time, for now i've set the display timer to 15 seconds to shut down itself but coming from the modding world (lineage etc) roms, I got used to have a shortcut like longpressing back button to have screen off instead of using the power button.
I tried nova launcher and some other apps, their shortcuts are working BUT they require the admin unlock (PIN or SIGN only), no fingerprint or eyeballing aviable.
Any clue to help this fella out?

If you change nova lock method from administrator to timeout (screen off, and times out to lock after 5 seconds for unrooted users) or even better if rooted, then you can use double tap to lock with biometrics.
Scroll to bottom of nova settings/advanced/screen lock method option
Sent from my phone
I use doubleHome, I double tap home buttom a black screen appears for 3 seconds, after the phone is locked with biometric unlock.
Free and works like a charm, from the same athor of bxactions!
Unfortunately using doubleHome you have to leave the current app.
Better: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dynalogix.screenoff.ultra.quick.timeout
There is a shortcut, you can use everywhere, e.g. as gesture.
Im happy to see I'm not the only one who needed this!
Every manufacturer should think about this and include it in the stock Rom tho
Thank anyone for all the ideas!!!
You can do this with any gestures or automation app that runs shell commands like LMT or Tasker, etc.
