In the contacts section of the phone app there is a link titled "ICE - Emergency contacts" which I can't seem to get working. Clicking the button does nothing. Does anyone know how to flag certain contacts as ICE contacts? I would like a few to show up in the emergency dialer available when the phone is locked.
I've found numerous threads and how-tos about ICE contacts and android, but I have yet to come across one applicable to sony's rom. The user manual doesn't even mention anything about this function.
Stock Xperia TL on AT&T.
Thanks in advance!

I've been trying to solve this for some time without success. Due to the way Android merges contacts and my fetish for flashing new ROMs, I frequently find that I need to search my contacts by phone number or area code. Does anyone know if there is a way to search like this?
I need to do the research on the contact merging when I am back on the big screen. Last I saw was that everyone acknowledged that the merging was a problem with no solution other than something like Titanium backup.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Dialer One supports this kind of search.
I tried Dialer One and it doesn't really support what I want to do. I often find that I need to search for all contacts in a given area code or I only remember part of a phone number or I want to search by any other information stored in a person's contact (email, city, state,...).
It's just hard to believe that Google being the Android creator and such a power in search has such lousy contact search capabilities.
Any other suggestions?

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?

5. Speed dial: press on keys call someone.

Hi All,
I've changed my ROM recently (for a Venom ROM).
Now, when a new contact is created then registered on the HTC One, immediately after, impossible to find it with a normal search.
And if I dial the phone number, the HTC recognize it and print the contact's name...
Does someone knows what happens? Perhaps I have to reinstall the ROM? All other functions are OK.
Thanks you for your help.
Regards
Eric
can you see your created contact in your phonebook without a search? also check the sources of your phonebook: go into your dialer, switch to people and click on Phonebook on the top left.
I can't figure how to allow certain numbers to be dialed from the Emergency Dialer on the lock screen. I have added contacts to the ICE group, but still no luck. On my Note 3, if I added people to the ICE group, I could then have them listed on the Emergency Dialer screen. Can this be done on the Nexus 6?
Did you figure this out?

No I have not, guess its only meant to dial 911.
Landed here after a lot of Google searching, very disappointing. I can set contacts to the ICE group but that does nothing? I can't even find a way to view that group after I added the contacts to it.
I am having a interesting issue with my phone that I cannot figure out. When I receive a text message the system adds a +1 to the start of the phone number it is coming from, I am using the Samsung Messages application but this does the same thing apparently with the Google SMS app and the Verizon messenger app (as I have\ tried these as well), this only happens with a text and if I get a phone call or look in the address book no numbers have a +1.
The reason this is an issue is because my car imports my phonebook as it appears in the contacts and when I get a text it comes up as Unknown Caller because of the added +1 but phone calls do not have the +1 so they show up just fine.
While working on this I have discovered that if I go to the text by going to my contacts then clicking on the persons name it will remove the +1 and it will stay removed as I text them but the second I get texted back the +1 is added. I called Verizon eventually and was told reset settings, reset network settings, turn off assisted dialing. None of these work and there next solution was to factory reset, I don't think this will help because it isn't just my phone but my wife and son who also got the same phone have the same thing happen.
Has anyone experienced this and know how to fix it. I have been through all the phone and dev settings looking for something. I cannot find any other threads online for this except for a couple from AT&T users from different samsung phones years ago with no answer. Previous to this we were using Note 9's and did not have this issue. Any help is appreciated.
edit: The phone is not rooted or modded and is on Android 11 One UI 3.1, sorry forgot to add that.
I think it's under: Settings -> Call Settings -> Other call settings -> Roaming assistance

That is assisted dialing I turned off already and it didn't affect it. It's also just on text messages phone functions don't have this happen for some reason.
The +1 is your coumtry code prefix (USA).
While you can change this in your messaging app you can't change it from eveyone else's phone.
From using it in your car radio might be somethng in your car settings or else in your contact list add the +1 to all your contacts.

I understand that the +1 is the country code.
It isn't from other people's phones it is the way the Ultra is handling the information when it comes to text messaging. I did the following test. I removed my son as a contact in my phone and called my phone from his. The phone number shows up as (xxx) xxx-xxxx. I then sent a text message to myself from his phone while he still was not in my contacts. I have 3 different text applications on my phone right now for testing purposes (default Samsung, Google's SMS app, and Verizon Messeages) and all 3 shows the phone number as +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx.
The car isn't adding the the +1 to contacts, when my phonebook syncs to the car and I go into it the phonebook on my cars display they show the same as in my contacts "Contacts Name" (xxx) xxx-xxxx but when a text comes in it shows Unknown +1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx.
The issue solely lies with text messages being received on the S21 Ultra as this happens when people on Apple phones or Android phones (multiple brands) text me.
In regards to text messaging in general, i live not far from you ( about 9500 miles ) and I have a different device then yours. Receiving text messages from someone in my contacts list shows up contact name. Receiving other text message not in my contact list will show as country code and phone number. There are exceptions to this in regards to texts from government agencies and google which will show up who are not in my contacts list. I think texts messaging work around the international standard ie: country code + phone number while phone calls may not (unless making international calls). So i don't think it's device specific as it more to do with the networks that you connect to.
In regards to talking to you car ( text wise ) i may be of little help as i don't have a android 11 device and a car to talk to.
Since your note 9 works, and as far as i know latest version is android 10, it could be an issue with android 11. From your test using your son's phone have tried to add the +1 to his number to your phone and see if it's make a difference.
