Maybe I'm just going mad, but after a full reset, I think I'm missing some functionality in the Dialer.
If I pull up the Dialer, and start using T9-like search, e.g. search for "John" by dialing 5646, then the drop down list will pull up all the Contact called "John" (or that match other letters on those keys), or have "5646" in their number. If you click the down arrow/count, then the list is popped up.
Each Contact has their "default" number listed (if the default is not explicitly set on the contact, I think it uses the first/only number defined).
If you wanted to use a number other than the default, I was pretty sure that you could tap the thumbnail image to show the alternative numbers, and select from there, but this isn't working for me. Tapping the area other than the image selects the default number, but tapping the image has no effect.
Does anybody know how to get the Dialer to show the list of alternative numbers? Is it a setting/permission that I'm missing?
Anybody else having this problem, or can think of a solution?
If there a multiple numbers then i see them all listed when i click on the contact and then i select the one number i want. It was always listing them all, don't recall changing a setting
Thanks for the response - that's how I remember it working, but I can't imagine what I've done to stop if functioning like that.
I have the same problem on N910C 6.0.1. Does anyone have the solution?
P.S. I disabled all keyboards except the SwiftKey, disabled voice input and S voice. And removed S find from the notification dropdown by cuting the "com.sec.feature.findo.xml": https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/root-how-to-remove-s-finder-quick-t3161432
I dont know if that broke the dialer search, but i returned that last file and it didnt help (S find was back).

Hi
I tried to search in magician forum about this, but it seems not find any similar to this
Have you ever have a feeling to find name by phone number? as for instance I got miss call from 123 111 number but does not show any name in my missed call list
so I open up contacts, but unfortunately, it only allows me to search by name not by phone number...
any idea how to do this?
THanks so much

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Use the "Find" from Programs, type phone number, select "Contact" and voila!
Ow... I didn't realize that this possible as last time I tried them but resulting nothing (probably the number is not exist there and I assumed this function is not working)
Sorry questioning this question as I should read my manual more
you have to put number exactly as it writen in contacts... +38039....
and name will appears
Yea, I just notice that you need to enter exact number (with / without space) otherwise will not show anything... totally a bad search function...!!!
you can use Smart Dial: push green key then, just digit 5-6 cifres of the number and the pda will search all the contacts that contains the 5-6 cifres sequence.

Try the Standard Search option and you can find the contacts by numbers. Cheers
Hm... found anomaly here:
For some reason I tried the Smart Dial skizz0 mentioned, but for some reason it does not show the contact details when I type them, but when dial them it shows correctly
Eg:
what shown in contact:
Home
(61) 3 1234-5678
so I try smart type in smart dial:
12345678
during smart dial typing, no result shown
BUT
when I dial them, after a while it shows "HOME"
Weird isn't it...
for my opinion this "hyphen" method in contact get upside and downside:
upside ==> we can read it easily
downside ==> for some reason the program confused to recognise them...
I suddenly have to do it without contacts completion in the Messaging program.
Before, I could just type the first 3+ letters of a contact name on the 'To:' line in email/sms/mms/ messages and a pick list came up showing the corresponding contact(s) to pick.
That neat pick list doesn't come up anymore.... not even after a soft reset.
There still is the 'Check names' option in the menu, which also comes up with the appropriate name when entering only a few 'To:' letters, but the pick list is much more efficient ofcourse.
Note: I'm using the 2.00.04 PV PRO Crossbow ROM.
Anyone the solution?
Thanks!!
There...
....already found the solution.
Because every Crossbow version still has this 'Suggestion words when entering text' issue, I set 'suggest after X words' to the maximum of 7 letters, so that when I accidentally forgot to disable the suggesting (when Crossbow's bug enabled it again after a soft reset) the suggesting wouldn't come up by typing short words.
The thing is that, even when the entire suggesting is disabled, the number of letters you set up for 'suggest after X words' still affects the number of letters you need to enter on the 'To:' line in a new message before you see the mentioned pick list.
So, solved.
I'm sure this will have been covered, but I've tried searching a few different terms with no luck
If I have a contact named 'Eddie' I want to be able to dial 3334 (eddi) and it show his name, I press and it dials.
It used to do this for me, I'm not sure what I did to make it stop. How do I turn such a feature back on?
Many thanks in advance.
Is dialer>menu>view and "Calls and contacts" selected? Some more info about your problem please?
Yes, it's selected. What other info do you need?
When you press for example 3334 what happens? Numbers appears of course but does Eddie appear at all? Or is your problem that the name appears but nothing happens when you are trying to select and call it?
Nope, just the numbers appear
Weird, I have stock HD and as well as I know that dialer "view calls and contacts" option is only way to make that happen or not. What if you put "eddie" in speed dial, Dialer>menu>speed dial>menu>new, does it work?
No, doesn't help.
I should have mentioned sorry, I'm on Davideuck V3 ROM.
One thing I notice, I type the name and it can guess the name as I press the keys, but just the name, no actual contact.
I have twice now gone through my contacts and set Mobile first, Home second, etc for several contacts. After my newest ROM flash, the order is all messed up again, even on the Google Contacts side of things.
Is there some feature I'm missing? Am I the only one that wants a predictable listing of phone numbers on my phone?
anyone? 10char
Someone must know...
I get very anoyed by the contact's numbers order.
In my country:
- the mobile numbers begin with 06...
- fixed line numbers depends of the town, but mostly are 011..., 021..., etc.
Now - it realy is a pain in the back to search for a person, and 99% of the time to scroll down to 2cond or third number to pick...
Even when I want to send a message - the same is needed, although in my country it is not possible to send a message to a fixed line number (I know in some countries it is possible).
Is there an app to choose the order of offered numbers to dial, send messages and similar?
Cheers
I found on another forum:
"If you do a long press on the office number, a menu will appear. From the menu, you can select "Make default number". This way, when you dial, it will automatically dial the office number."
But :
- it doesn't appy to message compose,
- it can be applyed to one number only - if someone have 2 mobile phones (personal and work) - it helps just 50%
- it has to be done person by person, and it is a pain...
- it doesn't apply to all the dialers (just to default one)
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.
