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
It used to come up daily but i think the developer changed it to 7 days because too many people complained!

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
I desperately want to be able to replace my entire dialer for my HTC One. I am running ViperROM with the standard HTC Sense Phone Dialer. While i know there are many dialers in the google play I can use to Dial with, none of them are actually replacing the stock App because incoming calls and any dialed calls still open up the HTC Dialer. I realize this is not an easy task, because there are many different things that need to be replaced for this to happen. I will donate money for this app, something reasonable. I've always contributed to development that is deserved and will continue to do so. I assume this would be possible just with some work if devs could get the HTC Camera to work on the GE edition, maybe its the same idea of reverse engineering (I'm open to correction) In the following post, devs have managed to get the HTC Camera working on the GE version. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2351965
**The reason I am wanting this is because I am used of my iPhone in which when I dialed a number, no matter if i used an area code or not It pointed to the persons contact (Aka global contact lookup). With the HTC Dialer, if I don't dial the number EXACTLY like it is stored then just shows up as a number in my outgoing and never shows the contact photo or the contact at all. Same thing for incoming calls if i do not have them stored with an Area Code. I have been told this may be something to with a patent dispute from apple and HTC, and HTC just never wanted to add it back. I know pretty much every other Manufacture that skins android this works fine with. Just not HTC.

It's easy for you to say that when you're used to it, but many of my close friends I know there numbers by memory and i find it extremely faster to just dial the numbers, and not just that when i store number i would not like to have it exactly like to comes in. This is the only phone i've owned in years that does this. It may seem like nothing to some people but me and a buddy both have this phone and both are used to dialing numbers from memory, which IMO is much faster.

As a matter of fact the HTC dialer searches by Name and Number at the same time so you should be covered with this dialer. still there are a whole bunch of dialers available at the Play Store. TouchPal is pretty good.

Sorry, but you obviously don't understand what i am saying. This is a known issue. And its not hard to reproduce. Find a phone number that is stored in your phone with an area code. Now dial that number without an area code. The contact will not show up when dialing out. Same thing if someone calls you and you do not have a number stored with area code. Vice versa. This is a known issue and has been talked about on different forums randomly. It is not hard to reproduce.

While I do appreciate your help, you're mistaken or don't quite understand fully. You do suffer this, EVERY HTC One ROM has this issue, i've talked to countless HTC Tech support its the same thing for everything. There are many forums about it. So you understand....
Store a contact with this the following:
337-555-5555
Name: Testing
...Now to test this open your normal HTC Dialer
and Dial 555-5555
---That contact will not show up
Hear thee hear thee. You can replace with AOSP dialer all you want. And it will look nice and all handy dandy and stuff. The second you hit call, you are back in the HTC dialer. And when you answer it will be HTC dialer.
You can delete the HTC dialer and it will not change.
You can delete the HTC phone app and replace with AOSP and then you are really screwed. Force closes galore.
The moral of the story is, if you want a full AOSP dialer on Sense, you're gonna have a bad day.

I thank you don't trying to help, but please read the whole post and especially the entire comment right above yours. When you make a call you still use HTC dialer and it starts dialing, and receiving calls which don't match up with contacts after dialing or receive unless contacts are exactly the same. Read.

That is your opinion but in my opinion it clearly states in everything I wrote what the issue was. And if they read the entire article they would not have posted some of those things. You may take that as rude, I just think anyone should read the entire post before commenting is all.

I did use the app, i've used many dialers, they will never actually replace the stock dialer after making a call that is built into the system, you can see this after you dial a number, it reverts back to HTC Dialer, Read the post tyler wrote above. I guess i am not explaining my self correctly.
Do the following:
Save a contact as followed:
Name: Testing
Number: 555-555-5555
Now do the following:
Open up any dialer of your preference. Dial 555-5555 Exactly like that. When you type that in you WILL SEE that correct contact.
Now as soon as you click the call button it will revert back to HTC Stock dialer, in which the contact does not match up without the exact number that it is stored as. You will only see "Dialing 555-5555" with no contact photo instead of "Dialing Testing" with a contact photo. Also, when you look at your call log you will see that correct contact, because you are using a thirdparty app, but when its ringing you will see HTC Dialer and if you do have the number saved EXACTLY like its stored then you will see the contact infromation. But if you have it stored as 555-555 and they call in with an area code which every phone number has...the contact will not show.
The only thing im asking here is if someone could replace the entire system dialer. While I appreciate people trying to offer ideas there is NOTHING that will fix this unless someone figures out how to effectively replace the system dialer completely, which as tyler wrote is very difficult. Using third party apps will not fix this issue.
This is also called global contact lookup, in which most apps can do this, which work fine before actually pressing Dial, then the system dialer takes over and if your number is not exact it will not show the contact.

Luckily cannot confirm this. In build 23.0.A.2.98 at least both (number & name) smart dial function works fine and as expected. I have not tested that on any other build, but you may just update and reset the mobile once.
Do you guys have speed dial? (Hold down a number to call someone) does the dialer work in landscape mode?

Hi. From start my phone had the exact same problem. But after aprox. one hour it went away by itself. I'm not aware of any changes I made in the meantime.
Maybe phone needed more time to finish indexing contacts after the sync or something like that.
This is a modified dialer apk, and root is NOT required. All credit for this goes to those mentioned in the original OP.
I know this is in the S6 forums, but it is confirmed (by me) working on G5.

Does this app actually make the call or is it just a dialer that opens the LG app soon as you hit send? I'm just looking for a solution to the stock app because it turns hot pink when you hang up... It's the only thing about this phone that I don't like. It's driving me crazy ?

Goto Settings > Apps > *Touch the 3 dots in the top right corner* and select Configure Apps > Default Apps > Phone App > *Select the Google Dialer. It will be listed as simply "Phone"
I have not tested this for incoming calls just yet, but for outgoing, it will skip the stock dialer completely. Hope this helps.

so no caller ID though... I wonder if the Tmobile Name ID feature will still work
Well standard caller ID works.. I will have to wait till an unknown number calls me to test the rest.

It's more visually pleasing? For people who really want a stock Google experience, it's one more thing to get you closer to that. With this and the Contacts app installable from APK Mirror, I'm officially using all the stock Marshmallow apps for everything but my Exchange email.

I find the LG dialler requires more finger presses. But I'm coming from the Song Xperia dialler.
New call: Go to dialler. Possibly not on the call tab so click that. Start to type name and some suggests come up. Click on the [v]. Select the person/number to call. And now the bit that annoys me, press the call button. If I click on number why not just call them, why show number and wait for me to press another button?
Call back: So I missed a call. Go to dialler, go to call logs, click on the call I missed. Show the contact details. WTF? So now I click the phone icon and call. Yes I know there is a little call icon but I'm used to clicking a phone number and it dials it. Not have to locate one tenth of the call log line to start a call.
Anyway, I'll get used to it but I do think I have to do more work for simple calls versus other diallers.
Wow. That is as clear and concise an answer as I could ask for. I wish my wife would answer simple questions like that, but I have to ask her twenty follow-up questions just to get an answer to the first one! So, I do see what you mean, and I have found it at least a little annoying myself. I guess I just accepted it as the way it is. Never really thought to look for a different dialer, but by golly it just might be worth a look now. Thanks for taking the time to give such a thorough answer. I hope you type much faster than I do, but I use Swype keyboard.
Does the original Dialer needs to be uninstalled first before installing Google-Dialer 3.00?
-> If yes, where to get that original Dialer found and uninstalled?
How about if Google-Dialer will be updated in future to 3.xx?
- Auto-Update or manual update needed?
- Link to webside to be able to always have the latest version installed?
Thx
It's crashing on me. Where can I get one that works?
Sent from my LG-H830 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Ive had no issues with this. Been using it for a week or so & has been flawless.
Also been working for me with no issues. Combined with the Google Contacts app and then Calendar, Clock, and Calculator, throw an icon pack into Nova, and I seriously feels like I'm stock. Very very happy.
as soon as i click on the icon i get "Unfortunately, Phone has stopped" message.
There are several versions out there. It would be helpful if ya'll would specify which version is or is not working. I am running the 2.05.07_rc4 with no issues. I haven't tried the 3.0 version yet.
Hi, I'm running stock Android 10 on my Note 9. One of the most annoying "features" is that incoming calls take up the whole screen with no possible means of dismissing, or switching to another app while its ringing. Often I don't want to send it to VM so I don't want to reject nor answer the call. I silence the ringer, I want to let it ring but I don't want to stare at the screen for the entire time its ringing. I have the show in pop up window enabled, but that only works if I have another app open. If a call just comes in when I don't have another app open, it obnoxiously takes over the phone with no options to do anything other than pressing either the red or green call buttons. Is there a way to change this behavior or can I install another dialer app and make it my default? I'm seriously amazed this is how it was designed to work!
If you're not in another app, why does it bother you?
If you mean when the phone is idle with screen off and a call comes in then I don't see a point in not being fullscreen.
When it is updated to ui 2.1 there might be a setting to change call display while using other apps/mini popup

Whether you see the point or not doesn't really matter, if I'm asking, what I'd like to know is can it be done or not? I don't understand these non informative responses. Why do you bother taking the time to respond only to say you don't see the point why I'm asking?
However, if you must fully understand before giving a more useful answer, I use Google voice and I need to see which calls come from Google voice as a forward versus direct calls to my cell phone number. The only way to differentiate is seeing if hangout is also ringing or not. Occasionally hang out starts up first in which case it works like a charm. But every time the phone app rings first, it locks the screen and I cannot navigate to the Hangouts app or even pull down the notification to see if Hangouts is even ringing.
That's only one reason. The other is if I don't want to send the call to voicemail, and I want to let it ring, I don't necessarily feel like staring at my phone for 30 seconds if I want to do something else on it. I've had many phones and this is the only one that is acting this way. It's dumb.

as I have already stated, I already have that option checked off but it only works as you said while in other apps. I question specifically was for times when I am not in other apps.

Thank you, that was much more helpful! I'm not sure if it's due to the difference of S10 vs Note 9, but the swiping down diagonally from your left to lower right doesn't do anything for me. Anyways, I guess we have exhausted all options and using the edge is probably the best one for me. Thanks again!

Glad it works. If you'd like to try the swipe from corner to make the window small but you can't right now try to install Good Lock and use the module MultiStar. Inside this module there's an option called "Pop-up view action" which enables (or forces or re-enables xd) the functionality to swipe from the top corner diagonally in order to make the currently open app's window smaller.
If Good Lock does not work where you live then use either FineLock or NiceLock from the play store and install the module from here manually: https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...amsung-multistar-3-2-28-android-apk-download/
