change dialer - Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I'm almost desided on buying a Samsung Note 4. But I got to try it to day, and it has the same "problem" as both the S3, S4 and S5. The dialer does not work as I would like. If I have a name with a dash, like Dag-Ove, and I start typing on the T9 it finds nothing when I type 3246. My Sony Z3, LG G3 and HTC One M7 does provide names with a dash. Also the Samsung Alpha works "correct". Guess it's the dialer from touchwiz that have this issue. The question is if it is possible to change this dialer.
Also, the Samsungs aint able to change bluetooth device in a call. I can turn it on and off, but not change from the car to the earpiece. Is this also the dialer?

[Q] Bluetooth / Google now

Hey,
I'm running the 9505 s4 4.4.2.
For the first time since the nexus one I think I've run into an issue no android phone can get around.
I ride a motorcycle and picked up the Sena 20s Bluetooth headset.
This is my first Bluetooth headset and something I've waited over a year for.
The issue is the dedicated phone button to access your device through voice.
By default this button launches voice dialing on android instead of Google now.
With iPhone it launches siri.
I have tried to reassign the button to Google now but this only works if the device is not locked.
Is there any way around this?
Is there any device that will allow Google now to launch?
Any word if android 4.5 / 5.0 will fix this?
Perhaps a ROM that enables this?
Any advice is appreciated as I currently stand it is looking like iPhone is the only option.
Another option may be the motto x with active listening.
I've heard Google may make this available to all devices, but I was under the impression that this "always listening" is completely Dependant on hardware?
I have the same problem!
I have this exact same problem. Even when the phone is unlocked, google now is a bit spotty in loading when hitting the phone button.
Google did just release an update for Google Now that allows you to access google now from any screen, even the lock screen. That being said, the phone button on the Sena 20s STILL loads the phone dialer. The phone dialer is honestly not good and google now seems to be better to use for dialing people anyway. I wonder if we can submit a request to Sena to have this feature added. It's probably just the button calling up voice dialing instead of google now.
Try submitting a feature enhancement request, I might do the same.

After 3 Days: Pros and Cons of S7 vs. iPhone 6s

Not intended to be a general Android vs. iOS debate! Just my experiences (and a couple questions) coming from a 6s to the S7. Before the 6s I had several Android phones, did dozens of ROMs and hundreds of flashes, so I know both platforms very well.
Galaxy S7 Pros:
- Screen is fantastic. About the perfect size for me as well.
- Very fast and fluid. I had a Galaxy S6 last year and it wasn't nearly this fast.
- Always-on screen is cool, though limited.
- Google Now blows away Siri
- Good fingerprint support.
- Great camera.
- Finally back to good third-party keyboards with Android. iOS supports them now but doesn't allow voice recognition other than in stock keyboard. Lame.
Galaxy S7 Cons:
- Battery has so far been unimpressive. I'll give it a few more days.
- No Voice Command over Bluetooth in my new car (2016 Accord EX-L V6). This is close to a deal breaker for me. The iPhone has great Bluetooth support with full voice command of Siri using the Voice button on the steering wheel.
- Also over Bluetooth, can't see the list of tracks in the current playlist, scroll through playlists, etc. iPhone has this.
- No always-on "OK Google" from screen-off. This would help a lot with the above car Voice issue if I could just say "OK Google" and have it wake up. iPhone and other Android phones have this and I'm surprised Samsung didn't also go with that. Big negative.
Really want to like and keep the S7, but the lack of good voice support in the car is a big deal for me. Anyone know of a way to either get always-on "OK Google" or steering wheel controls to support it like they do in iOS? Yes, I can use Android Auto, but I often just want to jump in the car and go rather than plug in.

For the "Ok Google" Open the Google App, hit the 3 lines top left corner and select settings
There is a setting for active on any screen (but that is only when the screen is on/charging)
Also in the settings there is a hands free option, make sure you have bluetooth turned on for OK Google
Also, have you downloaded Android Auto and connected the phone via USB? I think that is the preferred method

Thanks. Yes, done all of that and I should have mentioned Android Auto. It's not bad and does most of the stuff I want. It just requires plugging in the phone over USB versus doing everything hands/cable free. Not a huge deal, but I drive a lot and it's great with the iPhone to never have the thing out of my pocket. Today while driving to lunch I had the S7 in my pocket and just hit the button there, said OK Google and it generally worked. through my jeans I guess that's one way to work around.

Yeah definitely give the battery a few more cycles
make sure u turn off all the extra crapp running the back ground, the battery life for me is double of the iphone 6 but i have gps turned off at all times. also QC2.0 should be the deal breaker. it nice plugging in for a few minutes and getting a couple hours
I would add some cons:
- can't send/recieve MMS without cellurar data connection (using my S7 in polish network Play). It's very annoying especially when connected to home WiFi network. To send/recieve MMS You must: disable WiFi, enable cellular data, send/recieve MMS, disable cellular data, enable WiFi... flagship phone ffs...
- ultra weak vibration (even when strongest mode set in options)
- can't hide unnecessary apps, for example: full version of Poweramp has unlocker as separate application. In my HTC M8 I can just hide unlocker app. In S7 this is impossible.
Im considering to sell this phone.
I'm also having some heating/throttling issues. Just web-surfing for 30 minutes causes heat towards the top of the phone and the CPUs clearly throttle, making Chrome lag like crazy. I rebooted and let it cool down and it got fast again, but after a while it heated/throttled again.
Not impressive. I'm 50/50 on keeping it. Shouldn't have to deal with this kind of thing.

Nope, compared to HTC M8 it's very weak, of course all sliders in vibration menu are set to max. Yesterday checked 2 models in two different stores (Euro and Media Markt) and they also had very weak vibration.

Weird....I've found it to be pretty impressive vibration. Had to turn it down for my alarm in the morning, as it was vibrating itself off the stand I had it on.
Of course, it could be that I don't really rely on vibrate all that much...I actually have it almost off for calling...just use it in the morning on my alarm, as sometimes the sounds just aren't enough.

Not impossible at all. Use a different launcher.
and I'm with the others. The vibration is pretty strong.

You don't even have to switch launchers. If you launch the unlocker it will say "thanks for buying" and give you the option to hide the unlocker from your launcher.

Why are you disabling your data connection when connected to WiFi? You're just making your life more complicated. Leave data on while on WiFi and the phone will automatically switch to data when it can't do something over WiFi (your texts).
My vibration is strong like others have mentioned.
PowerAmp unlocker hides itself once you launch it 1 time.
love it
Too much vodka there in polland i guess? He doesn't feel the vibration anymore :laugh: (no pun intended)
I really love the s7 even the battery life, but then I must say that I came from a Huawei Ascend P7 so it's quite the improvement. Amazing camera and everytime I unlock my screen I fall in love with the colors :good::good:

Bluetooth and proximity sensor

Hey guys,
I am a proud S7 Edge owner since two weeks ago. I love it. The overall performance is astonishing y it's design ir ergonomic and beautiful.
But, nothing is perfect, and I found a little problem that is getting me crazy.
I live in Barcelona, and a use a lot the motorbike to move through the city. I have a Bluetooth headset installed in my helmet and i heavily use my LG G WATCH while riding.
I start calls using the watch, you know: "Ok Google, call to......."
The problem is that, while the device is in my pocket and if it is connected to the helmet's Bluetooth headset, the screen remains turned on, PROXIMITY SENSOR DOESN'T WORK while Bluetooth is working. Humidity in Barcelona is very high in summer, and I accidentally end a lot of calls, or while speaking I touch number buttons continuously, with is very disgusting for the person on the other side of the phone.
The user experience is absolutely frustrating.
Does anybody know how to fix this problem?
I came from a HTC M8, M9 and OnePlus X and didn't have this problem with them.
Thank you all.
There should be an option under Screen to keep the screen off while the phone is in a pocket.
I will answer to myself.
I found the solution here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/help/screen-bluetooth-connection-starts-t2925836
Bluetooth headset's setting should be like in the attached image.
I hope it will help someone.
EDIT: Doesn't work for calls.

Any way to change the In-Call UI to make it easier to switch to/from bluetooth?

I'm almost constantly connected to bluetooth, either my car stereo or a bluetooth headset. Switching which device you take a call on in the stock Moto G4 UI is needlessly difficult, I think. I used a Galaxy S6 for the last couple weeks and it's a single click to use bluetooth to take a call, or to take the call back from bluetooth I should say. Now that I'm going back to my Moto, I'm looking for some way to make it easier.
I don't ever use bluetooth to take calls, but I haven't found anything that keeps Android from sending them there that doesn't create other problems.
Thanks all
Yo can try this.
Make a backup of your current Incall UI APK.
I do not know if this is going to work on our device (probably not), but you can try.

Worth a shot, unfortunately InCallUI.apk doesn't exist in /system/app/.
