2 things are missing in ICS dialer:
1. Speed dial
2. Adding comma or semicolon to have conference bridge number like 1-800-555-1234;543674#
Anyone?

You know you can create a Direct Dial shortcut to a number ?
TWLauncher:
1)Menu->Settings->Widgets-> Hold "Direct dial"
2)Choose a contact in your list
3)Direct dial shortcut is created on your homescreen
LauncherPro
1) Hold on a empty spot->Shortcut
2) Scroll to Direct Dial
3) Select contact from the list.
You can create a folder on your home screen to hold all your direct dial shortcuts.
(hitting his head on keyboard in frustration): We don't want those gimmicks like direct dial.
Conf bridge works if you paste the number like 800-000-0000;234#. But there is no ";" on dialer.

was having issues with stock dialer hanging etc. i saw on the slim thread a suggestion to use dialer one (which my phone said was not compatible) but i saw in the market search there was exDialer with ics themes that deal with the speed dialer issue and been running real smooth. no clue about the conference bridge
running nostalgia ics
I'll check it. thanks!
this is a documented fail in ANDROID -

anyone know how to get GOOGLE to fix this? I mean damn. You get a calendar invitation from someone with:
18005551212,,123456# and it works on CrapplesIphones
replace the comma with X and it works on all BB (the comma works on BB too, newer OS ones...)
And yet, all these powerful dual core android phones and we can't even recognize a phone number in the calendar. It's a GOOGLE CALENDAR type issue, I think... but DAMN.
Just saying.
For those who don't use or know the work around. You can also create contacts with those bridge number but not on your phone. Create the contact on your phone and go edit the phone number in Gmail contact. You'll be able to add the , or ; and other options that are still supported by the dialer but are just not available to you.
Note: The bridge call will only work if you call from the phone Contact list AND NOT the dialer log.

Hi guys... coming from the PalmOS world, there's still some things I need to figure out on this marvelous WM6 world
Is there an app that lets me use a Calling Card type of call? On PalmOS I had an app called TakePhone that would allow me to specify a certain dialing mask to match and then it would dial my calling card platform (as my Caller ID is authenticated, no need to dial a PIN) and then prompt me to dial the destination number I had selected. Is there a way or an app to do this on WM6?
Thanks!
Check sunnysoft.com
It is a nice app btw, although at first you will be confused how it works
But once you understood, it works fine in HTC Kaiser and very nice.
Other cheap solution is to combine the phone numbers using the contact manager.
So, for example, create this contact:
"Calling Card - John"
<ccphonenumber>ppp<johnphonenumber>
Like this: 09002345ppp004976217621
The ppp = delay delay delay
I am not sure if that works, but I got that trick from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=333149&highlight=calling+card
Thanks, will check that out.
There must be some good solution out there.
Adding the commas and all that is fine for a few contacts, but doing this for all your international numbers or on the fly numbers is sincerely a p.i.t.a.
Hi,
When I have phone numbers in my email or calendar entries, how do I make the kaiser recognize these, so that with one click i can dial the number?
I had this feature on my blackberry, surely it is available with this device?
I realise I can cut, paste dial but thats just craaazy
Thanks

Numbers in messages are normally underlined and when you quick tap them (not tap and hold )they are passed to the phone verification screen which asks if it is correct to dial (ie country and area code OK) and you just hit the green call button. This function is default on all WM devices.
Have you added some software that has changed this?

Thanks, I'm not aware of anything. I'm using a t-mobile mda vario iii.
Does this feature appear in calendar notes etc or just email?
thanks

just tested it, works fine in email but not in calendar? damn thats total pants! What ever could the developers be thinking.
/sigh , I'm really trying to like this device and get used to it (i have 7 days) but so far there are little things like this which I use daily which will make my use of it so annoying.

I'd love to be able to tap on a number in my calendar notes to dial..
All my appointments and contact details are stored in the calendar yet I have to write the number down, exit calendar and go to the dialer.
I don't recall ever being able to do it with any version of WM.
Hello,
I've loosely based this app off of supbro's app for the 6.5 Windows system (iContact, iDialer). I didn't use his code but I did want this program to perform the function that I mainly wanted: The ability to pick and choose which Google Voice account I wanted to use to dial a number with.
If you're interested in checking this out, I've attached the xap for it. Thanks.
May 02, 2011 - 7:40pm CST - Updated the application to include a restore settings button and other changes to enable fields incorrectly disabled.
I've been waiting for something like this. I'll install it when I get home and post my thoughts later tonight.
I couldn't figure out how to use this. Is it utilizing the calling card method of dialing or something? It wouldn't let me select my GV number on the GV Info pivot.
I was thinking it would be an easy way to get to a dialer that would utilize GV direct dial but I don't think this is really what I was looking for.
thesecondsfade,
Yes, it utilizes the calling card method of dialing the number through your google voice account so that the google voice number shows up on the other person's callerid.
I didn't implement a select from the contacts list of the Google voice number on the GV Info pivot screen. Rather, you have to type in the number using the numeric pad and input the pin that Google Voice prompts you for when you access your account. After you've placed both the Google voice number and the pin, then you can select the radio button for that account.
As far as I know, GV direct dial only works with the accounts that you can specify the phone number with. Currently, you can only use a phone number with two different accounts. The calling card method is the only one that I know of to use one cell phone number with three or more different accounts.
Hello everyone
is there a way to show the bithdays oft phone/sim contacts?
With the standard android (JB) application it is only shown for goog contacts...
thanks in advance
Choose your contact then hit the edit button , scroll to the bottom of the screen and hit "Add another field"
Choose Events then add the birthday there.
Simples...
Hit thanks if it helped
I don't know if you tried it unser cm10.1 , but I doesn't work...
when I extract the contacts and add a birthdate manually, then reimport and reexport, I can see that that the date is stocked with the name. so it's rather an issue in how contacts are displayed. (and it's shown for go contacts...)
is there
- another contact applicaton that can show it?
- another way (account?) to store contacts?
thanks

You did say standard...
So no I don't use CM10
Sorry
isn't the CM 10.1 Android (4.2.2) contact application the same than the one from stock ROMs?
no one else encountered this Problem??
Have you tried an alternative such as this:
GO Contacts EX is yet another powerful tool, ideal replacement of stock Contacts and Dialer. It is featured by fast search, grouping, duplicates merge and secure backup/recovery.
Features:
1. Quick find: by any letter, name, company, keyword.
2. Group contacts: Drag&group; batch SMS or email by one-key press.
3. Merge duplicated identified by name,phone number or by email address.
4. Smart dialing: Only remember fraction of contact’s number or name? No problem, just press keys, it will give the matches.
5. Speed dial: press on keys call someone.
6. IP Dial:Chinese area IP dial supported.
7. Theme supported: Dark (included) and Spring, Ice Blue (download separately)
8. Backup / restore: Save contacts to or restore them from SD card, safe and secure.

A bit of a step backwards from my perspective on the dialer vs. kitkat. I most often dial a number by spelling the name on the dialer pad, opening the contact then select, home, work mobile, etc. Is there some process analog on the new dialer. The only even loosely similar one I can find is to search contact with regular spelling (not dialpad) and this automatically brings up all numbers for a given contact.
Also, is there anyway to default the dialer to always open to the dialpad?
Thanks much.

Ugh, the functionality is built in... at least for the first part. When the hits begin showing up based on numbers dialed, simply touch the text/middle of the contact to dial the listed/primary number and the picture or letter icon on the far left to open the contact and choose the desired number. Wow, I'm glad this isn't a step backward.
