This might be a stupid question but I trying to google it and I didnt find anything. So I was trying to call someone on my nexus 4 today and as i was typing in the number, i type in 7,4, and I accidentally press the # button and a screen appear and it say "SIM card contacts" and it quickly disappear and did nothing I think. Can someone know what did it do, I would greatly appreciate it. I attached a pic of what it look like sorry for the crappy quality, i tried to do a quick screenshot from my phone but it disappeared too fast so i have to used my pocket cam to record it and slow it down. Thanks.
It just loaded the contacts on your sim card. Go to contact, tap the three dots, select contacts to display.

Tonight I was trying to take a picture and email it and the phone became completely unusable. I'd like to see if this is a problem wit just my phone or if other epics are having it. Here is what I was doing so please follow these steps:
1. Open the camera with the side button.
2. Take a picture
3. Go to the picture viewer from the button on the bottom right in the camera app.
4. Choose the "Share" option when viewing the picture and select Gmail
5. I added 1 recipient, a subject, and then when I went to the body of the email to type the phone became completely unusable.
Swype couldn't type and when I tried to hit back or home it just sat there for over a min. Finally, I powered the phone off and rebooted. When I went back in to gmail it became slow again and I just left it for a while. Now it seems to be ok, but I have no idea what happened. The one thing I did notice was that when I chose Share and got into gmail the sync icon came on the taskbar.
Thanks in advance for helping out with this.
unable to duplicate, sir
I had the same issue. It seems like launching the camera app from the side button temp locks up touchwiz. I can't get back to home screen.

This happened to me also when I tried to send a picture I just took via Handcent SMS.
I just had this issue last night. I took about 5 picture I emailed 2 of them. I don't rememberif it froze up right after I sent the email or not but I noticed it when I tried to take another picture. I couldn't take it, I noticed a lock icon on the top of the screen. I couldn't exit the camera app. I shut down the phone using the powe button. The phone ran really slow for awhile, after the boot. Then started running normal. Possible bug I think.

I had the same problem when i went out side and took a picture using the camera button and then tried to send it via gmail to another email address I have. When I clicked send via gmail, my whole phone froze up and I have not yet received the email to my other account with the picture attached.
no duplication but
I was not able to duplicate the issue following your steps...but I did have the phone lock up on me once while in camera mode. The image moved as I moved the phone around, but I could not interact with the phone in any other way. I had to power the device down completely. Don't remember if I was able to use the power button or if i had to remove the battery.
Hi guys. I've been trying to search for this problems i've encountered on my X2 and i simply can't find any answers for it.
I have few minor problems which i want to ask.
1. My device keeps on charging even if the led image says that it's already 100%. I only assumed it is still charging because it is well written on its Status right above the led image.
Is this normal, and is there a way to fix this if ever? I'm worried that my battery gets overcharged if i wont to anything about this.
2. Sometimes my camera button fails to work. It happened several times now that when i try to activate the camera using its button on the right side the camera doesn't appear right away. Another thing, sometimes when i'm trying to take pictures and i pressed the camera button, the camera will just pause for a while and then green square boxes will appear on the screen. No image will be taken. Is that normal? or my camera is having problems?
3. I also noticed that the contacts are filtered by to view all contents (sim and device contacts) by default. I set mine to filter it to be able to just view the device contacts but whenever i open the contacts it reverts back to its default filtering which is "All Contacts". It is very useful at least for me to use the device as the contact's handler because my sim has limited memory and is divided into 2 parts. The first part is the one that appears and the other one can only be viewed if you disable the first part and make the 2nd part available by using the sim services embedded with it. So what i did was i copied all the 1st part and the 2nd part sim contents to my device and i was planning to hide them and use the phone's memory as the handler for contacts.
It was then that i realized the filtering problem. RIght now all copied contacts from my sim appears as well as the other part of the sim which is enabled. Which makes a lot of duplicated contacts (one from the device and one from the sim).
Is there away to make the phone permanently filtered in the device contacts?
4. I saw some of you guys teaching some members here to edit the phone's registry. Can i request for a 3rd party software to do that. Or can i just go directly to the mobile's registry and edit one of it (I don't know to do that by the way :-I )
5. Lastly, is there any way to activate the screen in order for me to unlock it? when the phone is locked and in stand by mode i can't seem to find any buttons to activate it. I am unable unlock the phone because the slide unlock button is not appearing.
What i'm doing to activate the slide unlock button is to press the power button or to slide the qwerty keyboard. I was hoping there are other ways to do it though just like on old phone wherein you can press the menu button and the asterisk key .
One last thing to end my post, please give me a Total Commander link too.
All replies would be very much appreciated sir/ma'am
To the moderators, please lock this thread if ever i violated rules. I just can't seem to locate any answers for my queries that's why i decided to created a thread with all my questions in it.

Hmmmmm, regarding my query on the contacts filtering, i'm sure there is a registry tweak to for that. I was trying to look for it last night but i wasn't able to locate it.
Perhaps there are geniuses here that can do that for us.
Registry Editing to make the contacts filtered on "device contacts" by default. The default by the way is filtered as "All Contacts"
I have been looking for some solutions to de-complicating the Droid 2 and have been stumped so far.
1) Is there a way to put large photos on a home screen that link to a direct dial? The current/stock contacts widget photos are too small and the direct dial link is also not the photo itself. I just want to put two medium-large photos on the screen and give them a tap to dial the contacts.
2) Is there any way to make the app icons bigger?
3) Can the voice dialer be made more simple? Rather than "dial [contact] mobile 1," is there a way to just say "dial [contact]?"
4) When making a call, the screen stays on and buttons get pressed. Any way to disable this?
- I do not want to root the phone at the moment.
Thank you in advance for any help provided.
I'm not sure about 1 or 2 but the default google search bar you can say call (contact) and it will dial the person you said and the backlight is supposed to turn off when the phone is against your face because of a small sensor somewhere on the front of the screen. If its not working you either accidently disabled it some or the phone is not working properly. Check your apps and see if anything you downloaded may be doing that. Hope that helps a little.

for #1 search the market for clickable picture frame. awesome app, can do direct call, direct text, etc.
Thank you!
The clickable picture frame is exactly what I needed.
I am still working on the other issues.
The screen proximity sensor seems to work correctly for me, but the phone user still has trouble with it. We're troubleshooting bit by bit.

As I swipe through my phone contact list, many times the minor pause between swipes will cause a number to be selected and dialed. Can I change something so that either the time limit is changed, or it takes multiple taps to dial, or a question comes up asking me if I am sure, or it doesn't dial immediately upon accidently selecting a contact, etc.? This is my first smartphone.....Maybe it is the way I am swiping; I have tried the left, middle and right side of the screen and swiping and removing my finger as fast as possible and it still makes an unexpected call occasionally.
Use the People app, instead of the contacts list within the Phone app.

Now that is the way it should work. Thanks.
SOLVED.
Like the your new G4 but can't stand that every time someone calls you, there is a full screen, in your face caller id screen? What if you are busy in an app? Tough. You just have to answer the call or ignore it.
Well, that can all be changed. Remember back in KK there was a much smaller caller id that popped up and you could answer the call, decline the call, decline with a message or ... swipe that screen out of your way! Well, you can have that back again and you don't need anything special. Just tap your dialer app. Once there, make sure you are on the 'Dial' or 'Recent' tabs. Hit the 3 buttons in the top right corner, select "Call settings" and then towards the bottom of that menu there is an option called "Incoming voice call pop-up" which is unchecked by default. Just tap the box to add the check mark and back out of there. (Side note. Scroll farther down in these settings and you will find the Gestures that are missing from the phones settings screen. Flip to silence and bring the phone to your ear to answer are hidden away in here.) Now when you get a call and you are in an app or game, instead of the full screen, in your face, can't move the sombitch, window, there is a much smaller pop up that we all love and remember from KK. When you get a call, you can answer, decline with a message, or just decline. But there is also the beloved swipe that thing outta my face before (insert anecdote here) happens, in which case the ringer will be silenced and the pop up will just slide out of your view.
Hope this helps alleviate some of the frustration with your new phone until we can get root and REALLY change the way things happen on our phones.
(BTW. I make no guarantee that your variant has the option described above. But I'm fairly positive that the option will be there.)
You can access the Call Settings directly from the Settings Menu, too (at least on the unlocked variant of the G4). Just go to Settings » Calls.

Unfortunately doesn't look like it's in the Sprint variant.

Oh nice find. This was on the G2... then disappeared. I don't know why it is always turned off by default. It is a really nice feature.
I am using Verizon btw
When I first got my G4 it asked me to tap it to my old phone to transfer settings, so this setting must have transferred from my G2 to the G4 automatically.
