OK so i didn't much like the stock Dialer and contacts to slow and look horrible so i set about trying to find a suitable alternative, now upon finding a couple of good ones Dialer One & TouchPal Go i followed various guides on how to set up installed dialers as your default dialer, applications manager-all then clear default on stock phone app launch new dialer and it should come up with an option to choose which dialer to use, ive come to the conclusion that most of the dialer apps ive tried this option never comes up thus not allowing you to use as a stock dialer, now i read that if you disable the contacts under application manager - all then go into your dialer you want to use it will come up with the new default option upon doing this i noticed that the Stock contacts & phone icon have disappeared from the homescreen and app-drawer, i can only find the phone listed in application manager - all but not contacts , what do i do to get them back ? thx
the same thing u did to disable them those 2 apps are related

Not sure on your question per se but once you do get em back ignore those guides because you don't have to do anything to make it work. Just lose the shortcuts on the desktop and replace them with the ones you want and press that icon instead. When an app wants to hook a dialer and you have more than one installed a window will pop up asking which one you want to use, select dialer one and always and you are good to go. This will happen each time a new app that hasn't tried to use the dialer before wants to do so but it wont be long before you have them all covered and you never see them again. The good thing about this is you simply need to clear defaults to go back should you choose and also if you want to use them on a case by case basis you can. In other words dont select always and the option will come up every time that app tries to hook the dialer. The same holds true with the contacts and replacement contact apps.

'When an app wants to hook a dialer and you have more than one installed a window will pop up asking which one you want to use, select dialer one and always and you are good to go' EXACTLY and after many wasted hours i concluded that many of the dialer/contacts apps dont allow for such an option to appear the new app just launches without said popup box. However i still dont know how to get back the stock phone/contacts icon.

Alright, I got my Slide yesterday, and overall I am happy, but here are some things I have found. If anyone can help solve any of these issues, I will be indebted. This are in no particular order, just as I can remember them!
1. Can the LED change colors? My 3rd party apps have been unable to change the color.
2. MyModes:
Can I manually enter the location at which I wish the mode to change? Right now I need to be physically at the location for it to recognize that is where I want the mode to change.
Can I change the ringtone to vibrate instead of silent under mymode settings?
3. Custom notification ringtone: I can see the ringtones I have put on my SD card in some apps, but not in others. For instance, in Gmail - I cannot get my custom ringtone to show up in avaialbe ring tones, but I see it in other apps.
4. My GPS is ALWAYS searching
5. MyFaves: How do I turn off the notification for myfaves activity? CAn you turn my faves off?
6. Can you turn Sense (Expresso Sense, TMO sense, whatever they are calling it) off? Too many duplicate apps (mail, gmail, htc mail, music, htc music, 3 different messaging apps)
7. The messaging icon always displays an unread message, even tho I have read the message.
Thats all I have come up with, or can remember. What "bugs" have others found/fixed? Any one heard of an update to correct some of these bugs?
Thanks

this happend to me a simple restart solved the problem. this also happend on htc touchflo 2d, 3d on windows mobile so im going to say this is a htc bug.
A bug I noticed: plug in the USB, and there's 3 different modes: sdcard access, sync, and charge only. Setting it to charge only launches the sync software on the PC, setting it to sync mode does not. Also, it seems to turn USB debug mode off and on by itself.

I have them like in my G1 - in a media/audio/ringtone, notification, and alarms

Reboot corrected the issue.

Not a bug. That's what it's supposed to do. Go go 2.1 and sense UI. You can set the default action for this in your settings
Menu > Settings > Connect to PC.
************
I have noticed, the keyboard backlight doesn't always light up. I'll go to respond to a sms and the backlight for the menu buttons and the keyboard doesn't light up.
The keyboard is lit based on the light sensor. No light, it's on. Enough light, it kicks off.
here's a bug that i noticed, at least i think it's a bug. volume rocker/ringer volume does not control the notification volume(aka txt messages). any ideas on that one?
wasn't a problem on my cliq(which was my first android phone, slide is my second)
Had something last-night ping me when I was messin with home screens. After going back to SenceUI app icons were being selected with out my hand touching the screen, it happened about 4 times. Didnt activate the icon, just highlighted it, and would go away when I would select something else.
I thought it was my case or something, cause I was holding it, but then I saw wesgamer say something similar to the touchscreen messing up as well.
It was small and brief, but note worthy none the less.

Im also having this issue, happened on Home screen and DeskClock. DeskClock is fixed by Opening the keyboard, letting it go horizontal, and then closing the keyboard. Home screen, not so much.
I've run into a couple little bugs too...
Sometimes a text message thread will become out of order (the message I sent gets placed below the message I received as a response).
It also hapened in the very beginning when I only had a few texts in total on the phone so I dont think its related to having too many mesages stored.
A couple times the screen decided to scroll all the way up or down without cause. It has only scrolled down in a text thread and only up on a web page (XDA actually). I had a hell of a time trying to read something from the middle of a text thread! haha
I have had the messaging icon read 1 and all of them be read. I have also had the messages get out of order if text are sent back and forth between a minute.
I have one contact with a different ringtone and that ringtone never goes off, always the default one.
I've also had a problem with sd mounting, I had mine set to charge only and I hooked it up to my laptop and no option would come out to mount. I tried changing the setting to automatically mount and that didn't work either. A restart did.
Lastly, I had a theme downloaded from the theme site and had it as my installed theme. I went to the theme selection page and uninstalled the theme while still having it set as my theme and this made the phone crash and restart.
slvrblt - same thing happens to me
turboyo - I have had the messaging icon read 1 and all of them be read. I have also had the messages get out of order if text are sent back and forth between a minute.
i have that happen too. anyone not have their phone vibrate when text messages are received when vibrate mode is selected?
also sometimes when i'm writing a text message the cursor will jump around, anyone experience that?
this is a great phone with so many little dumb problems lol
The stock messaging app is garbage compared to Handcent and Chomp.
I was able to get rid of the duplicate Faves notification, but I can't remember how. Helpful, huh? I did go through the built-in "Manage Applications" via Settings and did some Force Stop on the redundant apps. I also went through via the Tools in Astro with Process Manager and took out a few things. So far, it seems as the management of processes being run is not as efficient as stock Android. Using the same process managers as on my G1, I always have much, much more to kill in the Slide. This has beat up my battery life and stopping several of these "unused" items has helped, but some apps have caused processes from several other apps to run and bloat the memory.
A couple other people mentioned it but Rindgdroid for creating notifications: sdcard/media/audio/notifications. Most of the things I've done I saved as a notification. I've used the pre-installed Voice Recorder then opened up that saved file in Ringdroid and saved as a 'Notification'. It's then shown up via Settings/Notifications in K9 Mail and the Gmail app. I have not tried this for other types of notifications.
So far, I love the phone. The standard "complaints" but have really taken to Swype as an alternate to the keyboard, especially for shorter messages. Genius is super. This is a phone that desperately needs a custom ROM though to help alleviate the excess stuff.
First up, hello to everyone.
I'm a new convert to Android having picked up a Galaxy S a couple of weeks ago, and I've got a couple of (what I'm sure are) basic questions about how best to work it:
First up, how do I go about creating folders on my SD Card. I'm assuming that's the best way to organise things like icons, themes, wallpapers etc.
Is it possible to edit the icons on the dock at the bottom of the screen? Can I put different Apps down there? Can I change the icons that those apps use?
I'm having issues with Widgets - do I need to restart the phone each time I install an app with a widget? There are some apps which allow me to use a widget straight away, but then there are some (like the BBC news feed) which just doesn't show up in my widget list
Can anyone reccomend a good link or article on how to root the Galaxy S? I'd like to it be as simplified as possible please.
Thanks loads in advance for both your help and your time.
Cheers
1)while browsing your sd card, press menu button and it will you the option to create a folder
2)click on applications button while on home screen to change to applications view, then click menu (left button) and edit, then you can just drag the icons in and out of the dock
3)not sure, widgets that i tried all ran after installing them without rebooting the phone
4)I suggest you check out the Galaxy S I9000 Android Development subforum right here on xda, there are some great guides there.
1) I just do it when plugged into my PC via USB in Mass Storage mode. =)
2) As random.si said.
3) I've never needed to restart the phone for widget...are you sure those apps actually have widgets?...Any widgets from the Market or installed apps should always be under 'Android Widgets' as soon as the app is installed, otherwise try using the app first as it may have a config or something.
4) There's a stickied guide in the Android Development subforum here! It's dead easy, so no worries there. Just follow the instructions to the letter, but that's not hard for rooting the Galaxy S.

Applications open in the background don't use any CPU time and if the RAM they use is needed Android closes them by itself.
Android isn't designed to let the user close applications. If you really have to close them for some specific reason you can use a task killer from the market.

One more question.
How to enable vibration to incoming text message? Can`t see any option for that.
You should try out prehome. When you press home key, it will show the active task, and you can switch or kill task there. Press home key the second time will bring you to home. I love it.
Does anybody knows how to set vibration on incoming messages? Can`t find it. strange

If ever in doubt, always try the menu buttons.
Pretty much every app hides its settings and many controls under the menu buttons to stop the screen being cluttered up with buttons.
The menu button is also context-sensitive to whatever you're doing at the time, so you just need to get used to remembering it's there.
As the previous guys said, Android is designed to not have specific 'closing' or exiting of apps. Rather, they'll hide themselves in the background and once the system needs to free up some ram it'll close once you haven't used for a while automatically in preference of those using the most RAM. It will also usually save the state of that app, so if you go to use it again and Android has already closed it, it will still appear where you left off but just take a bit longer to start since it was cleared from the background.
Most apps will fully close however if you exit by using the back button (bottom-right touch button on the phone), basically reversing your way out of the app until you hit the home screens.
Holding the Home button shows the last 6 apps you had open, whether they're still running in the background or not. It's just a quick way to jump between stuff rather than an actual task manager.
In the JM2 firmware Samsung have added a great widget and task manager app. The widget shows the number of apps still running in the background, as well as a colour for if they're draining battery or performance (ie: processing lots in the background). All you need to do is touch the widget and it'll take you straight to a list where you can close any. Very handy!
While it's easy to get obsessed with using one of the task killer apps on the market all the time, I eventually found with my old Hero that it performed just as well if you ignore what it's doing with RAM or apps since it's intelligent enough to prioritise and close appropriate background stuff without your intervention.
The only reason people were recommending task killers for the Galaxy S was because of the random lags / stalls caused by bugs in the firmware, some of which were caused by it not closing stuff or managing itself properly in the background.
My advice: JM2 firmware and just use the Samsung task manager widget as a guide to if for some reason something high-powered like a game was left open and Android didn't clean it up yet.
Phone number format
How can I change the format of the phone number which is displayed when I have an incoming call ? Thanks ?
While writing SMS, contacts displayed twice
Hi to all,
When I write an SMS and want to choose a contact, they all appear twice, even tough in the phonebook they only appear once because I ticked the option of displaying only contacts from the phone and not from the sim card.
Is there a similar option in SMS that I'm missing here?
Thanks in advance,

Hey just a question here if someone could help me out.
Wanting to know if there's an option to turn on the "search contacts" option on the dial pad in CM7.
Anyone remember how with the stock rom you could press say...666 for m.o.m. and be able to press that when it came up to call?
It was basically a built in search option for the contacts. Be it corresponding numbers or corresponding letters.
Is this an option with CM7? Cause I really, really, really miss that option.
So much easier to search numbers by pressing letters than it is trying to remember numbers or scrolling contacts.
Anyone know about that? Thanks again for all the help guys!
press the "genius button " and start typing the name.
You can't do that CM7 dialer. Get Go Contacts or dialer one from market. This dialpad has the search feature your looking for.

Awesome. Thanks. But which one of these do you recommend?
And how would I set it as the default dialer?
Try GO contacts, you'll probably stick with it. How make default? In the beginning whenever you try to launch contacts if there are several options you'll be asked which application you want to run (or complete action with)- plus the option to make your choice as default (you can always revert it from 'manage applications').
what will happen is, that after choosing the number in the method you wanted (either typing numbers or letters) and you'll press the dial button- it will use cm7 dialer anyway, but with the numbers you've asked for, which is fine anyway. As far as I know you can't change this.
Also when you answer incoming calls it's with cm7 dialer.
Don't know which launcher you're using, but consider also giving a try to GO launcher too, it's a pretty good one too.

TouchPal Dialer amazin!!
I understand to do so, you need to go to the current default, and "Clear defaults". Right now I have my "Missed Calls" default application going to my default Phone app, but I used to get a popup that asked me. I didn't think I ever chose a default, but I installed Angel Dailer... I remember it prompted me.. then I installed Notigo to help clear the missed calls, but now, when I click "missed calls', I no longer get the popup on which application to chose. The "Clear Defaults" is greyed out for my Phone, and every dailer app I have. I can't find it at all. Hell, I went through practically every application, and I only found maybe one or two that I could even "clear defaults on", because I rarely check a default.
Any ideas? I read that if you uninstall the current default, then its next to impossible to clear, without re-installing that application. So maybe I somehow chose one and chose it as default... in my sleep.. or something...
Any ideas on how to deal with this? Or perhaps a way to determine the current default application... perhaps getting down into some file somewhere that has it all recorded?

Nope, no "clear defaults" on there either..
Install another app that does the same thing, and you'll get the choice again. Then uninstall the new one.

Yes...I had a similar issue. Here are a few suggestions.
1. If you can't clear it by going to the app in settings, try uninstalling/reinstalling. Before reinstalling..choose your default.
2. Try Default App Manager from the market. This app tells you all of your default apps and apps that does the same thing. It helps you clear and chose defaults in the app settings as well.
3. Download GO Dialer from the market (I used this method because I use GO Dialer). Whenever GO Dialer is updated or reinstalled, it'll automatically clear defaults, so this works well. When it asks if you want to use it as the default, choose the one you want then just uninstall GO Dialer.
4. Try freezing the unwanted app until you get your defaults like you want them. (I use Titanium for this.)
Hi,
I would like to change the default dialer program on my Samsung Note 3 which is rooted and installed with Xpose. I am sorry but I am new to Android and not sure how to get this done. I haven't installed any custom ROM's at the moment but thought there would have been a way to make the default dialer program. Although I tried installing many programs like "Contacts+", "RocketDialer" and others, none of them show up in the "Complete Action Using" Menu. Only the Samsung default dialer is presented.
Yes I have reset cache for all the Apps and tried the same too.
Any help would be appreciated.

Have you tried disabling all Xposed modules and eliminating all possible problems?
Well the short answer based on your setup is that touchwiz will not let you change dialers. You can download them from play store but it will only be for you to call out with. If you get in coming phone calls it must be handled by touchwiz dialer.
I've been trying to get an AOSP dialer to run but no joy. I've deleted all phone apk files I've deleted all contact apk files all that happens is I loose connectivity with cell providers.
Enough googling and it seems touchwiz must have its own dialer for incoming connections.
I'll keep trying tho, never know.
Not much help I know but at least it's an answer of a sort.

In regards to incoming calls, I used rocket dialer and was able to see their screen. Touchwiz wasn't invoked. But when trying to make outgoing calls, although rocket dialer is invoked for call logs and contacts, as soon as I hit the call button, touchwiz is invoked.
I guess the option then is to use custom roms which I dint want to install.
