Saving New Contact Numbers Without Hyphens - G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Okay I know this is really stupid thing, but it's annoying. In my Google Contacts I have my numbers saved without hyphens. Simply because I think they look ugly. Anyway, the problem is, I can't seem to save new numbers on my phone without having them.
Like I'll start typing: +1416... Then all of a sudden it turns into +1-416-...
I'll try and delete the hyphen but it deletes the number in front of it as well, hence can't save number without hyphens. If I don't save the number without the 1, then it works fine. But I like having all my numbers with +1 on them. Anyway, is there a solution to this?

Really? what did the hyphen ever do to you?

if you really really want to try this:
1. go to the name field and type out the number ... so +1416******** whatever it is
2. then hit MENU + A
3. then hit MENU + X
4. now go to where you enter phone number
5. hit MENU + V
6. see if that pasted the number without the hyphens

That didn't seem to work
And about what it did to me... It's a downer! -_- <-- look at him! It's just my entire phone book started without them, so I rather keep it that way. Unison and all.

there was an app i used to have that was made to do what you want ... i cant remember the name right now but do a search and you might find it (it allowed you to format the numbers in many different ways)
EDIT: found it: http://www.cyrket.com/package/org.peterbaldwin.client.android.cleanup

Thanks xidominicanoix! That app works great!

np ... used the same app to ADD the hyphens lol

I used "Unhyphenizer Pro" from the android market, it removes hyphens from contacts database and vCard files. Worked on my desire S.

To me it helps me with the separation of the numbers.

Chrome to phone

Hey guys,
I was reading gizmodo's blog and it had an article about the chrome to phone. In the article it said that was possible send links, maps/directions, phone numbers, texts... well I'm using chrome to phone on my N1 for a while already and so far all I could send over was links and maps/directions. I Googled about it and I didn't found any instructions how to send phone numbers or texts.
Has any figure it how to do it? Or is not implemented yet?
Thx.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Just maps and websites as far as I know.
It works with phone numbers.
and text you highlight
goes to phone's clipboard!
I'm not sure if you mean sending texts and phone numbers from your browser to your phone or to another phone, but you need google voice with a google number to send texts to other cell phones from your computer. This may not even be what you are asking.
Appbrain can send apps to your phone using ' fast web installer'
....same service-cloud-phone api
Ahhhh now I got it.
as superhongry said it works with text/numbers u highlight. So if u wanna send a text, all u have to do is highlight the text and send to phone. It ill be on the clipboard so all u have to do is paste into the notepad or w/e u wanna keep.
Same goes for number. If u wanna send a phone number u saw in a webpage all you have to do is highlight the number, send it to phone and past it into the phone app dialer.
ty for the help ppl
it still just send the whole page when i have something highlighted... am i missing something?
Yeah, I haven't been able to figure out the sending text to the clipboard feature. I've tried highlighting it, copying it first on my desktop, and random other stuff that doesn't even make sense to try. Only ever sends the webpage link.
Any trick to doing it?
Well, I guess is still a beta service so aint all that smooth... even when you highlight text/number it ALWAYS send the whole page, but the important is that the highlighted text/number get's stored in the system clipboard. So u can simply paste it w/e u like it.
According to the google doc page, when u highlight a cell number it should auto load the dialer, but that's a big negatory.. it simply don't work. But still the referred number get's stored in the clipboard so u can just past in the dialer.
When they launch a 1.0 version I'm hopping it will all work out.

Just select the text. Right click and select.
(Done using Firefox 3.6.3, Send To Phone 0.8 and Nexus One 2.2 FRF85B)
Funny enough in Chrome we don't get that option to right click an highlighted text and "send to android".... kinda sucks that Firefox extention has more functionality than Chrome's extension itself.

i tried sending a phone number to my phone yesterday morning
it was working. the phone automatically launched dialer with the number already inserted.
later in the afternoon, i tried again to show some friends...failed. all it sent was the entire page.
im sure they're still working out lots of bugs.

Well that just sounds like the standard Murphy's law working there
And thanks to the others with info on the clipboard. I never thought to check it when the page was sent over too, I just assumed it failed and sent the page instead.
yeah i just pasted and it had what i had highlighted last night still copied so that works, and i tried the firefox one, it works alot better

The chrome to phone is pretty much just a proof of concept that was written up for I/O.
In Chrome, you can highlight any text in the browser and click the normal Chrome-to-Phone button by the URL. It will open the URL in the browser on the phone, BUT, the text will ALSO be copied to the phone's clipboard. (In Chrome on the desktop, you should see the color of the highlighted text change slightly to indicate that it sent it).
This is confirmed in Chrome 6.0.453.1 dev with Google Chrome to Phone Extension Version 0.3 on Windows.

[Q] How to keep phone from 'forgetting' the area code when texting.

Alright. The screen broke on my first Captivate because I was clumsy/stupid. Put the claim in for insurance, got a new phone, set everything up. Nice shiny phone, what could go wrong? For one single contact, it 'forgets' the area code when I go to message them from contacts or reply to their messages. I have to type in their name and choose the number from the drop down list. Very annoying as this is the person I text the most. I've seen two other threads on this subject, but there was no mention of a cure. I've tried deleting and re-entering the contacts, to no avail. I tried using GO Sms, it has the same problems. I have stock 2.1, running LauncherPro -in case that matters.
I think I'm in the clear to bump this, as it has yet to be resolved and it has been a month. Please. anyone? I'm certain I'm not the only one to experience this problem.
I just started putting the area code into my contacts' phone numbers. I did it on my PC in Google's contacts app, though.
If only it was that easy. The area code is in the contact's phone number! I click reply to a text and it will often disappear! Thanks for trying though. I remember reading once that it was a bug in the actual contact management itself, but I thought the great people here would be able to come up with a solution.
Edit: Actually, I am adding this contact to google contacts as I type, maybe your suggestion will work after all! I'm no sure yet do to the sporadic nature of the bug.

I think these methods worked for many people. Use one:
1. Do a full factory reset.
2. Open messaging
click new message
Add offending contact to the send list
click to type in the send list and hit backspace until you have deleted the incorrect phone number.
then type in the correct phone number.
type a test message and hit send to fix the contact permanently.
3. Delete the contact. Ask the contact to call you. In the call log, long press and add to contact
Adding to Google Contacts didn't work after all. I am thinking of Flashing a custom ROM tonight once I decide on which.
Thanks for the help though! It is really annoying.

GO Dialler/Contacts annoyances. Best alternative?

I've been using Go Dialler/Contacts for well over a year, previously on my HTC desire and it had the same issue back then where it wouldn't register the cleared missed calls, so if you got a missed call, it would say 1 missed call, then you would check the missed call and the notification would go. Then if you got another missed call (and only 1) it would then say 2 missed calls, this would go on and on until you restarted the phone. On the desire I solved this by putting the app in system/app with root explorer.
Another annoyance is that when you dial or try to save a number, it automatically puts spaces between digits where country/area code are. I like to keep my numbers all in the same format, that means no spaces or anything, so just +XXXXXXXXXX
I use my phone for business so save a lot of numbers, this is going to be a pain to have to edit each number while saving a contact.
So just wondering, since go dialler/contacts hasn't been updated since nov '12, is there any newer and better alternatives that work the same way with the dialler predictions (and having latest dialled show up smartly when composing new message in GO SMS also - this is handy!) but which don't have the annoyances?
Any feedback appreciated!

I am new to the world of Android, having previously been a RIM and iOS user. However, since coming over to Android and seeing the open nature of the platform...loving it. Anyway, back to the matter in hand....Contacts+ works brilliantly, I would suggest giving it a look :good:
I use 'ExDialer & Contacts' app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5tb2Rvb2h1dC5kaWFsZXIiXQ..
Very simply themable dialler and contacts app.
Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know what this means?
"This is a trial version with 7 days trial period. When the trial period expired, you will be asked to buy PRO version. You can still keep trying if you haven't decided to buy"
So is it free to keep using or what? Do they keep bugging you to upgrade/pay?
I don't have experience of it,but I would guess you will get nags to upgrade, although with what frequency I couldn't say. I think that is one of the reasons I stuck with contacts+...it's free! That and the integration with FB, it's merge facility etc

Going to try out exdialer first I think, seems to have a lot of recommendations from what I've seen, first impressions are good anyway and it's solved the issue of the number having the spaced put automatically. I think the missed call issue might be in every dialler so I might have to put it in system app

Is free but every 7 days when you next open the dialler it will show a screen asking if you want to buy the full version.
Very easy to ignore if you don't want to pay for the full version.

thanks, every 7 days, so 52 notifications a year, hmm, seems a bit much

Thanks, I'll give it a trial anyway and see how it fares.
Try Dialer One, a very nice app.
Thanks, it actually turns out that ex dialler doesn't solve the issue with numbers being automatically formatted with spaces etc also, the add contact screen is a bit messy of exdialler, I find go contacts better in that regard, go may even be slightly faster?
Would anyone know how to get around the auto formatting at all? There's an option in exdialler not to use area codes or something which I thought would help but it doesn't.

I don't find a problem with the spaces in the numbers so can't help with that one!
Regarding the add contact, when I click on the + button to add a contact it takes me to my default Motorola add contact screen (which is also messy!) so I'm not sure there is anything I can do about that.
When you add a contact is it taking to you an ex dialler add contact screen?
Yes, I downloaded Ex Dialler and Contacts (I'm not sure if there's a simple "ex dialer" link without the contacts?) but now I can choose either ex dialer contacts or go contacts. Unless ex dialer is using the motorola contacts?
Have now tried dialer1 and contacts+.
Contacts+ is a bit overkill for me and not customisable to get rid of contact pictures, change font etc so it just looks too clunky for me.
I'm very happy with Dialer 1, but there's two things I miss from Go Contacts:
1) The ability to search part names, so say for example you had a contact saved with a long, easily forgetable name, something like josternberg and you could never remember it, but you knew part of his name was "stern", that if you type 78376 it would show up. Unfortunately at the moment it doesn't, but it does in other aps (Go Contacts/Dialer and Contacts+). This would be especially useful for anyone who has saved contacts without putting spaces between certain words. So imagine I had a few hundred android developers phone numbers and saved them as: androiddevappname, I could get to all dialer contacts by typing "342537" for dialer, even though it's surrounded by other characters.
2) Alphabet scrolling in the contact window. At the moment there's only a little green bar that can be scrolled down/up. In Go Contacts/Dialer, there was a permanent alphabet sidebar (small but capable) which you could hit any letter to get to that section of your contacts. I've over 1,000 contacts saved with a sequential first name code starting with VTA (for my business) and after saving a new contact, I used to be able to quickly to the letter "w" scroll up a step and check that the new contact I saved was there, two actions but without the alphabet bar it's going to take a bit of scrolling to get there.
Also waiting on the release of light theme
I am pretty sure you can enable smart dialing in dialerOne settings...
Thanks negus, yes dialer1 does have smart dialing, but will only work at the start of each name, so say if I had you saved in my phone as "xdaforum negus40", I'd be able to find you by numbering in N E G U S or X D A, but not by numbering in U S 4 0 or F O R U M. I sent the dialer 1 team an email which they replied to quickly saying they'll look into adding these functions

[Q] How to change the owner name without factory reset? [solved]

My phone was setup in the shop where I bought it, and I never had a chance to type my "display name" (this is what apps like WhatsApp show to other people). Is there a way I can add this after setup has been finished, or must I factory reset? (Note: I'm not going to root yet.)
Thanks!
Edit: I found it can be accessed from the quick-toggle pane. The upper left button. Click it, click the main identity, and click "edit profile". Add a name.
Not sure if I get you right, but:
Settings - Info - Phone Identity - Phone Name
Is it that what you're searching for?

Thank you, but I don't think that's it. Phone name says "HTC One". This is probably an identifier used for hostname/debugging/bluetooth, but what I'm looking for is my own personal name. For example, e-mail programs might use this to set a default "from" name. WhatsApp uses it to tell others what my name is.

I don't recall seeing it myself, but I'd bet my new phone it's part of the setup. It's part of Google Android and Samsung Android. It's the last step after entering your e-mail address.
Try:

Login, and there you can change a "name" (Don't know if thats what you're looking for)

Is your phone a Google Play edition? I'm using Modaco.SWITCH so I've gone through the Sense and GPe setup many times. Only in GPe have I set up a name.
Where are you seeing this display name that you want changed?
I found it by poking around more. Thanks! See edited first post if curious.

[HOW TO] Manually invoke send text template

Hey guys,
I made a little discovery today while attempting to figure out a way to send native SMS messages on the gear.
What I discovered is a way we can manually invoke the text template popup to any specified number, this can be useful if you want to save various text templates in gear manager and would like to actually send them, rather then only just use them to reply with.
At the moment the only way to preform the intent is using tasker or adb shell, this is more a educational post for those of you who would be considered advanced users can possibly make it a little more user friendly !
Perhaps someone can code a simple app with a contact list so that we can send text templates, @st-tps I'm talking about you
SHELL COMMAND:
Code:
am start -a android.intent.action.VIEW -n com.samsung.accessory.texttemplateprovider/com.samsung.accessory.texttemplateprovider.TextTemplateListActivity -e phone_number 0401010101
*NOTE* Replace "0401010101" with the desired destination number.
I will also include a tasker example once I make one.
Happy hacking.
I´m definitely up for the challange.
I´ll try to get something running as soon as I get some time to look at it.
Another interresting thing is the /data/data/com.samsung.accessory.texttemplateprovider/databases/texttemplate.db wich stores the Templates. If we find a way to edit the db we could actually write what message we want to the db, then open the dialog and chose the newly created message and send it to what number we want. I´we got some ideas about this, I´ll try em out as soon as I get your shell commands working.
That is about how close we can get to native SMS right?

Oh thats awesome, didn't realize the templates were stored there..
If we can edit the database, We would have a kind of working solution, although I really want to figure out how to send custom text. Rather to relying on the templates.
Also another thing I havnt figured out yet tho is how we can pull the contacts from the phone, it doesn't look like there stored on the gear anywhere that I have found anyway. It seems there pulled from the host phone everytime the contacts app is executed.

My plan is to make it something like this:
Start app, choose recipient and write the message. The message is added to an local texttemplate.db file with only that row. When you press Send, the original texttemplate.db file is renamed, the local one is pushed to the directory, the Reply Dialog opens with only one option (The message you recently created) select the message and it gets send away, the "one row" .db is then deleted and the original one got it´s real name back...
If this works, nothing gets f**ked up by changing in the real .db file. This only my thoughts so we will see if I manage to achieve it...
The contact name and phone number for recieved messages and missed calls are stored in NotificationSync.db in the table SyncNotiInfo and in fields mMainText and mPhoneNumber. I assume that info is used when replying to messages.

i get my contacts through google contacts after tethering with my phone.
the problem with 'stock' contacts was that it took ages to load (i guess it's synchronized everytime you open the app) and most contacts are missing on my list due to custom label (instead of just 'mobile' i use labels like AT&T).
Here comes a real early beta (More like an alpha) of NativeSMS, the most fancy about it may be the progress bar at launch
What it does: list all your contacts (If you´we sometimes synced with Google Contacts that is) that´s got a phone number attached to it, tap a contact and wait until the template box appears, select template and click send.
What it doesn´t do: Sort the contacts alphabetically. Save the list until next appstart. Create own messages.No fancy icon yet.

Great idea, perhaps just throw out a relevant error
"People app was not found, please reinstall rom", also I found you can share contacts via bluetooth which is great... I dont use GAPPS so I've transferred over my "favourites" ! Nice and easy.

I´ll certainly do, good point.
I´ll put in a check for com.android.provider.contatcs in the create part of the Activity, if OK - Load contacts, if NOK - Message box about missing app and then exit.

Small update, I´we done some tests regarding editing the db file, very unsuccessfull..
Pulled the original db to computer and did the edit.
Try 1: Delete all rows but one and sent back to Gear - App FC when the Dialog would show
Try 2: Only did minimal changes, editet first row only - App FC when the dialog would show
Try 3: Edit one row only, and renamed the journal file aswell, the only valid file in directory is the edited db wich opens fine in Root Browser - App FC when the Dial would show.
Anyone got ideas what´s causing the Template send FC?

Nope, permissions and owner is the same..
The only difference is that the original db file got a journal file attached to it.
Will try to copy both the db and the journal to computer, edit and then push them both back.
Edit: Fail aswell...

Hmm, I think we need to dig a little deeper.. perhaps figure out how the JSON requests are being sent to phone and generate our own.
Try to unravel the SDK one line of code at the time.

Yeah, I´ll pull the APK and decode it, then I start the search for something usefull.
I would be awesome if we could put the Message as extra content to the intent, just like the phone_number

I know right, would be so easy !
Sadly the phone_number is the only extra which exists
