Stock dialer issue - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

just got the new s4
but i found the stock dialer i am not able to do the filter
search by name
e.g i want call dad, so i press 323 so should be getting name filter as dad
but instead it filters all no. With 323, this is bit annoying as it didnt happen in my previous s3
help me if there is any way to change this

It works fine for me. 323 gives dad. Have your contacts transferred properly? Are they saved in your google account?

How can I read and reply to SMS messages from my tablet?

How can I read and reply to SMS messages from my tablet?
I saw an app in the Android Market called SyncMS.
The latest reviews said it is not working as it should.
I'd hate to purchase it and not having working properly.
Has anyone tried it, or know of another app and method that works?

you can use remote web desktop, and its free too.
I'd take a look at DeskSMS.
I use google voice and works great even had an updated version today.

Don't you need to be US-based to set up/make use of a Google Voice account though?

I have syncsms and it works fine but you need dropbox as well as the messages go through it. Another good one is textab. That one connects phone through bluetooth instead of using dropbox. Pretty handy.

With Google Plus will I only be able to use my Google Plus number, and not my actual cell number?

Thanks. I've never heard of Textab. It didn't show up in apps that were related to SyncSMS either.
Which do you prefer between the two?

I think textab is flipping awesome. Ridiculously easy to set up and use. There's a trial version in the market and the full version is available for $2
I use Tablet Talk and it has worked great so far. You can sync via bluetooth or through your wifi network.

I used to use this on my PC. Didn't know they came out with a tablet version.
I like how I can see and reply to all of messages, as well as share text clipboard between my phone and tablet.

Look for texttab in market and try the free verson first. If you get it working I is great.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using Tapatalk
Textab and Tablet Talk are both nice. Tablet Talk seems to have more features. I have both up and running. Trying to decide which one I want to keep.

Thanks for the link and info!!!
This app is awesome. Dev is working hard on future updates too.
I also like how it alerts me for incoming calls. That way I will know who the call is from, and will be able to get to my phone to answer it.

Just ran into the same issue today. The problem was that I had uninstalled "Infinite View", which is used for displaying contact's details.

Is infinity view labeled with sony ericson things?
Sent from my DROIDX using Tapatalk
No, it's just a screen with the contact's details on one tab, and the contact's call log on another one. I'm not using the social networking stuff such as Facebook, so there may be more there that's not showing for me.
Don't freeze stuff if you don't know what it is.. it's a sure fire way to screw things up.

ok. i've bought a new camera and replaced it and still same problem. So it's definitely NOT a hardware problem. going to try to go back to stock rom to see if that fixes it.
Went back to Stock, and still same issue. front camera just not working. This sucks..gonna try returning it to see if warranty still available

it's a known issue with Samsung devices
go to google support site and search it (i'm a new user so i can't post links)
open hangouts and go to the last issue
Hangouts crash on some Samsung devices
click on report, as many reports possible maybe google will take time to address this issue.

Google Account Help PLEASE

I deleted my main google account from my phone because I no longer use it and I'm using a different gmail account. That account is on my phone and trying to connect everything in the Android Play Store to it, but none of my apps are connecting to it in the Play Store.
How do I connect all the Play Store apps to my other account? Thx!

You probably want to contact Google and have them move the apps over. Don't think there's another way

No... just off of my phone is all.
Just got off the phone with them and they said, due to copyright reasons, they cannot transfer over the apps to the new account. So back on my phone is my old account, BUT I will have all syncing for it turned off.
I appreciate your help!!
Good to know. Copyright reasons... Ugh

Corrected when I called Google they said that there's no way to do this because of some copywriting issue. That doesn't make sense at all since they have verified I am the same owner of both gmail accounts. So I just put my old gmail back on the phone and turned off everything from syncing so that I can just use it for the Play Store.

I had a similar issue, and I'm not sure exactly how it got fixed. Here's what I did.
1. Factory reset
2. Setup phone with new gmail
3. Add old account
4. Go to my apps in the play store and select the old gmail.
5. Download all apps
6. Remove old account from phone.
I followed these steps on my phone and all apps paid and free work fine with my new gmail.
