Hi guys. I have a question. I upgraded from S2 to S5. Back in ICS on Chrome, I was able to touch the phone number listed on the webpage and the Dialer will catch that number and it opens automatically in the Dialer. I can't do this on my S5 (although I can do this in my Emails on MailDroid). Is there a way to enable this? Thanks.
BTW, I'm on Phoenix rom.

My brother in law is having all kinds of issues with his intercept. Here are the 2 most annoying for him and I don't have an answer but I am hoping somebody else does. The froyo 2.2 brought bluetooth voice dialing to android. It works fine on my evo but he cannot get it to work on the intercept. Does anybody else have this working? I read on another forum that you need to go to the settings and go down to search options and enable it there. There is no google search in his settings. Also there is no option for speed dial. Any help there?
One last thing. After the froyo update did anybody else lose the ability to link contacts with facebook? Before the update you had to create a contact on the phone and then you could link that with your gmail contact and the facebook contact. Now there is no option to create one on the phone.

I am not sure about most of your concerns, but I can perhaps recommend something for your speed dialing issue.
In the Android Market, there is an app called Speed Dial Old School by Maplekey Company. It will allow you to set up Speed Dialing your way, setting number choices from 2-99 and by dialing the select number, it will automatically dial that contact.
Hi guys, I've just moved over from iphone so still finding my feet with android.
For the most part android is far superior but the contact side of things is still bugging me. This is what I want to be able to do:
1. Have my call log as calls only, not texts. I know you can change this to view calls received, dialled etc, but it soons defaults back and shows everything. I just want my log to have dialled and received and nothing else? I'm sure i've read somewhere on the net that this was possible on the SGS through a hack??
2. I want to set up a favourites list of say best mate, gf, work etc and just be able to press their name and it dials there number, not opens another window that shows history, text option, dial option video call option, i.e. just direct dial. I also would like this to be the first screen that opens when I press my phone icon on the dock??
I've set my gf up on my desktop as a direct dial shortcut, but I don't want to be doing that for everyone. I've got a load of contacts but maybe only dial 10 at most on a regular basis.
are there any hacks or thrid party dialers that do this??
Cheers

I can help you with #2. Just swipe right on your favorite and you call that favorite immediately. Swipe left to immediately send a message.

hmmm, can't say i can see a way around No.1, other than using a new dialer/contacts app such as Go Contacts or Dialer One etc..
must say, i actually quite like the comprehensive log, coming from Sense and Stock roms with calls only, i like having it all in one place...
Dialer One would be my choice, but only as i used it on CM7 on my Hero for its smart dial feature... can't comment on Go Contacts
hope this helps
Dickie
I use loads off texts a day so within 10 mins of dialling someone their details are long gone
I'll check out Go Contacts and Dialer One though, thanks for the recommendations
This is a Samsung thing, regular android does not put texts with the call log. I don't think I'd like them to be combined like that.
it is the right thing to do

I like them combined. There again, there could be an option to control it.
Go Contacts is just the ticket
Thanks guys, much better now
Hi guys
Has anyone noticed that when searching for a contact (T9 search) in samsung stock dialer, the search function it only lists the first number for a contact if they have more than 1 applied to their card. Problem is you can't view other numbers, it just immediately starts dialing that one number instead if you try to select it ( there is no way to select and see the other numbers)
I have contact with 3-4 numbers so its annoying me. I know there is Dialer One, Go contacts etc but none of them have the clean interface the stock dialer has .
If you click the contact photo it shows all the numbers.
At least my one does....
I'd hate to bring up an old thread, but I used the magical search button and found this thread.
I have this problem, too, and it's really annoying.
Pressing the contact photo doesn't bring up the rest of the numbers for me.
If it helps, my contacts are synced via my google account, and I have a feeling this doesn't happen for contacts locally stored on the phone.
Does anybody have a solution for this?
I'm currently using a different dialer, but I'd prefer to stick to Samsung's dialer if possible.
Hi, so my friend has a Verizon S4 flashed with the HyperDrive ROM. He was showing me the other day how whenever someone called him, the caller ID name showed up as if the number was stored in his contacts. It's not like it was linked to FaceBook or anything, because it worked for completely random numbers. In the recent call logs it showed up with the name under the number. It had a very minimal and "native" look to it. The funny thing is, he was unsure where it came from. I checked the info for the ROM and I didn't see anything about that and there was no app installed that would explain it. It appeared to just be part of the phone. More interestingly, it was able to come up with names that would not show up on a normal WhitePages search. They would show up with my "premium, advanced lookup." So it would appear he has access to a pretty good phone number lookup database. I mean that makes sense, I assume WhitePages just hides some numbers/names from the normal search so you have to pay. Anyway, I was wondering what this was and if it's possible to get with my ATT S4? Thank you and have a great day!
Hello All,
Need Some Help. I am using Verizon Galaxy S5 in India. I am on Global Mode with Data Enabled. I am able to use Internet / Calls and everything else. The issue that I have is that I am not able to send out text messages / SMS messages. I tried through Hangouts and Samsung Messaging as well, but none works. I am able to receive messages but not send. The only way it works is that if put in the phone number directly without the country code.
For eg:,
If I want to send a text to 9800000001 then I can send only if I put in the number manually in the text message send menu. If I have that number stored in my phonebook with the country code +919800000001 then it is not sent. I cant update my entire phonebook to remove the country code from the numbers. So basically I cannot reply back to text messages received too as they come with the country code.
Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 - NHA Build - Rooted - Stock ROM.
TIA.

This is something that has been happening with all builds of 5.0. I believe it was fixed with 5.0.1 or will be with 5.0.2?

It seems there is no such build !

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G900V/ acording to Sammobile there is no Build 5.0.1 , is there ?
I've also had this problem using my S5 on straight talk's lte network, which piggybacks off of verizon. The only 5.0 rom that works for me is the international version, but it's not a very good rom otherwise. I'd really like to use MOAR but not being able to send sms is a pretty big problem.
I had the same problem with my Verizon Galaxy S5 in Albania.
I could not send SMS if the number started with +355 (355 is Albania country code)
and all incoming SMS had the country code so it was really frustrating.
After 2 weeks of searching for a solution i found it in androidcentral
can't post the outside link so here is the solution.
It is simple, go to phone dialer > Settings > Call > Assisted dialing
Inside assisted dialing where it say Reference country select your country.
than edit Country code by adding a + in front of the number there.
You are done just don't forget to turn Assisted dialing On.
Thanks
Thanks Man. You really saved my day! No more unsent messages because of this reference country.
