Phonebook - Default Action - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have set the default action of my contacts to a particular mobile or land line.
When i click on that persons picture in favorites it still brings up a list of number options for that person and doesn't directly dial the default number that i have set?
In this pop up for the person the default action just shows the default action as "Call" and not the number that I specified.
Is this the normal behavior?? Can someone confirm this issue.
Thanks very much

Hide dialer keypad

Is there any way to make the dialer default to showing the filtered call list, and have the keypad available via the softkey. Most of my dialing is the same few numbers and the list is much more useful than the keypad.

problem with "call sms blocker"

Hi,
I've found the software "call sms blocker". It had been made to block incoming unwanted calls and logged it... hide private sms...
I've attent to configure it but no way ! it does not stop anything that incoming !
Have you test it ? with success ???
yes. I use it and it works perfectly. It is an awesome program.
The way i have it setup is I have it set to accept all and then I make a custom list of numbers to reject. In this custom list I added all my phonebook contacts. Its kind of confusing but you have to remember that your phone only replies via sms to REJECTED calls/ and or sms. So yeah it sems weird to say reject contacts but this is what u need to do if you want your phone to send an automatic sms reply back to your contact.
So i did this for both calls and sms. I set both to ACCEPT under the "status" tab. then go into each tab "call" and "sms" and create new lists within each. Do this by tapping and holding in the window area and say ADD. Name it, make it REJECT, and make the action Hangup. Then go down to "List" (right soft key) and select number>add>phonebook. You can then check all the numbers from your phonebook that you want to add. Then also under "List" (right soft key) you can go into Advance Opt and set your custom message.
Repeat for the "sms" tab. Tap and hold in window area to make a new list. Name it, make it REJECT type, and I say "move to blocked" for action type. (this creates a new folder in your inbox of your messages so it makes it easy to find the sms that the program blocked. Add numbers from your phonebook same as I said above.
Now one thing to keep in mind. When I first started using this program I found that it only responded to my missed calls and not sms. What I discovered was that all the numbers for the sms list had to have a 1 in front of the number so that it looked like this 1 (xxx) xxx-xxxx. Whereas for my call list, the numbers in the list are like this (xxx) xxx-xxxx. For some reason I dont know why, this makes a difference.
So give it a try. I hope this helps you.

Default phone number

Anyway to change the default phone number in CM6? For example, I've chosen my girlfriends mobile accidentally as the default number to be dialed when I click on "call" in contacts, but I would rather it give me a list of choices. Is there a way to do it without wiping?
Thanks!
I can't find a way to clear the default but you can long press another number and set it as the default. So you could create a dummy number,set it as default and then delete it. This brings back the number prompt.

[Q] How to change/remove a contact's primary number?

For some reason with many contacts; there is a number set as a "Primary". I didn't choose any of these numbers to be "Primary" and they are the first choice whenever I'm making a call or sending a message. How do I change/remove that? How to make a phone number primary?
I'm on 4.4.2 and Sense 5.5. All my contacts are also Google contacts.
Thanks in advance!

Open the ''people'' app, select a contact then tap and hold the number you want as ''primary'', it will open a contextual menu. Select ''set as primary number''.
Hope this help.

There is no such an option to set as primary. I tap and hold the number and I get only the options in the attached screenshot?

Really strange, look at my menu:
Maybe it's because your contact are saved on the sim and not on the phone?

Very strange, we are running the exact same software.
I have zero contact on the SIM, but all my contacts are Google contacts as well -I save all my contacts to my Google account. Maybe that's the reason? If so, do you have any idea how to change the primary number changed then? Are your contacts also being Google contacts?

my contacts are also google contact. Even some contact are linked to facebook/hotmail accounts and still have the possibility to set a primary number.
Maybe you could create a test contact with different parameters and see if you can make it work..

The same idea came to my mind and it did not work at first -I was coming to post the results, but here you are having the same idea. I rebooted the phone and now the "Set As Primary Number" has appeared with all contacts. Very strange!!!!
"Mark As Default" option disapeared from Andrpod 4.3 ?
Hello,
There is more than 2 hours that I am searching for a solution to this problem.
According to my search, it seems that the option menu to set a default phone number in a contact (if we have several numbers in a contact) has disappeared since android 4.3. That's probably why alray and M_Shaaban don't have the same menu, they have a different android version ?
Could someone confirm this info ?
Is there a way to get back this menu to set a primary or default phone number in a contact with a option menu as "Mark As Default" or "set as primary number"
Sorry in advance for my english, I'm french
I'm on KK 4.4.2, Sense 5.5. I have the option to set a number as primary. Make sure you're selecting a number that isn't the primary number. Long press that entry until the menu pops up. "Set as primary number" should be there. If you bring up the menu on the number that is already the primary, the option will not be there.

Accessing mulitple numbers for one contact in dialer

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.
