Hi All,
I've use HTC One before S4, and really like S4. One thing that keep bothering me is when I dial on T9 prediction dialer, the second name or last name seems not working. when i use ONE i can put two names (first and last name) to narrow the search.
anybody know how to use the HTC Dialer on S4?
thanks

I have been searching everywhere for a utility that lets you text message with the Dialer, rather than the keyboard (Sort of like a regular cell phone - where you dial 2 (for A) and 8 (for T). Something that would be used to send a text without opening the slide out keyboard or with one hand only? Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Try searching for the HTC Touch Keyboard and Keypad. It is the software that is used on the touch that enables a qwerty and a t9 function on your screen when typing.

This website has it but I havent tried this software out. I have one that I download from these threads but I dont have it with me. If you still want it PM me and I will send it to you later on today if the one on the link doesnt work.
The Touch Dialer was still available and it works great.
Thank you!
Hi!
I recently got a HTC Magic. The only thing that bothers me is the "iPhone-ish" skin on the keyboard and dialer.
Is there any way I can get the default Android keyboard and dialer? I would rather not root the device, but if I have to, I'll do it.
Thanks.
I'm also interested on how to get rid of the HTC Dialer. The keyboard's OK, but I don't like that their own dialer practically split apart the dialing stuff from the contact list and call log.
I would like to know how to uninstall the HTC Dialer too!
you dont uninstall stuff.
you get a new app that does the same thing and set that as default app for the that function
My last winmobile device (treo 750) allowed me to just start typing on the qwerty keyboard to get to contact I might want to phone.
On the htc hd2 if I press the phone button I can start typing in the name on a numeric keypad. So if I want to call Aaron I need to press 2,2,7,6,6.
Is there no way I can choose to type on a querty keyboard so i can just type Aaron.
There is a slightly clumsy way of doing this by going into contacts, choosing keyboard and then typing but it is a much slower process. Are there any other ways of doing this?

Nope - you can't change it (unless you find a 3rd party dialer that does what you want). How would you dial a number if you had a qwerty keyboard?
I must say I hardly ever had to and if I did I would either create a contact or use the on-screen keyboard.
It is just wrong having to type a word on a numeric keypad.
Are there 3rd party dialers? Would it still act this way if you removed sense?

Yes, there are 3rd party dialers (you'll have to search to find them), but I've never heard of one like you're asking for. And yes, turning off Sense would have no effect.
This is annoying.
Are software developers geeks that don't have an idea of usability?
With my last WM phone I've dialed 3 times faster.
But someone think I need to do more finger exercise.
Ridiculous.

Eh? Dialers should be numbers. Simple.
Just to inform that it's working again with the last rom.
Hello all,
I've searched through the G2 forums and this one but couldn't find the fix I was hoping for.
On my G1, whenever I typed two spaces after a word it automatically put in a period. I liked that. My DZ also does that. Good stuff.
However, when I forgot to capitalize the letter 'i' in a sentence it would magically change it to a capital on my G1, the DZ doesn't do that and needs two keystrokes.
Can I change a setting somewhere? All I have is Prediction in my menu, and I don't like to use that as it created more work for me than it was worth.
Perhaps using the HTC IME from the G1 ROM?
I sure did like that keyboard layout on the G1 (and it's prediction), too bad we lost the top keyboard row of dedicated numbers; it now takes me twice as long to bang out my epithets.

I have turned on the predictive txt, then added I'm to the dictionary. Then when you type im, even though the green highlighted word still shows "im", it will insert it as I'm.
Hope it works for you and isn't a fluke for me, I'll be well annoyed if I have to keep adding it. Fingers crossed.
Hey ddotpatel!
You were on to something there, and it made me dig...
I prefer to not have the predictive text turned on as I'm worried that it slows down my phone...
I found that in Settings, Language & Keyboard, Touch Input, International Keyboard the Français(Canadian) keyboard was also checked.
Unchecking Français(Canadian) reverted my keyboard to the input I came to know and love on my G1.
The standalone letter 'i' now capitalizes in mid-sentence, and 'im' now converts to 'I'm' after the space key, exactly the way I wanted it.
I guess Bell (Canada) sells these units all across the country and has one default setting to satisfy both official languages.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Hi.
I have an issue with the T9 quick search which I use alot. (Default SGS2 dialerapp)
An example:
Searching for 'Kåre' is complicated, because 'å' isn't recognized as a member of the '(2 abc)' button. Pressing 527 as I would do, won't match Kåre.
So when I need to call someone named Kåre, I can't use the T9 quicksearch.
The same is true for Bjørn, Øystein, Øyvind, Åsmund and many others.
I simply can't find them with T9 quick-search.
I know there are other dialers, but I have not found one I can stand for more than a day. I really like the swipe to call/sms feature and the big buttons in the default SGS2 dialer.
I've tried RocketDialer, TouchPal, DialerOne, GO Contacts, Fast Dialer, Eir Fast Dialer, AContacts.
As I'm syncing the contacts with various social channels it is not an option to change the names to Kaare, and Bjoern etc.
Is there a way to fix this myself, or do I need Samsung to do it?
Any tips and hits are appreciated.
Also please do suggest dialers with T9 search if there are any out there I should try.
