How can I group calls by caller with the default dial app? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, does anyone know of any application that can integrate with the XZ default phone application and can group calls by caller name?
I know there are other phone applications out there (I used touchpal) but I was wondering if there is an app that can do only that. Touchpal offers more options but I would rater have the default app with this extra plus, to group all calls by caller, not by days how it's done now.
Any ideas or suggestions?

SMS/Voice call ringtone per contact customisation

Is there a way to have eg. to set different SMS notification ringtone for 1 contact?
I know I can do it with voice call, but can I with SMS?
No you cant set sms notification for 1 contact, dont ever heard that any phone can that. Maybe with some app?
Well back in some dark past Symbian v3 could.
I was able to set it individually for each contact using some app.. I believe it was "Rock.Your.Mobile.MessageTones.v1.00.S60v3.SymbianOS9.1"
I'm kinda surprised this functionality is not available for SGS/Android, especially seeing how advanced the system itself is. Maybe is it possible to develop such app? Or is it definately a no-go?
Yep.. there maybe is a app for android too, havent search for that because Im satisfied with just one tone for all sms, take a look in android market.
Just got myself Ringo. Will see how it goes ;]

SMS Popup app

I recently downloaded an app called sms popup but am disappointed because it only work for the standard sms app. I use google voice all the time for sms and am wondering if there is a popup for it. Does anyone know of one or is it possible to modify the original to do google voice sms too?

Group text messages?

Anyone know how to enable them or an app to use? I'm using the stock messaging app and I can't see/send group texts. All of the texts from the group text are being sent as individual texts instead of a group text. any help would be great, thanks!
That's how mine is too. Probably just have to use an alternate messanger if you want it, like Android messages, Hangouts, or whatsapp.
Maybe they should add some features to the stock messanger app, it's very basic.
Use Signal. It is a great texting app that also allows for end-to-end encryption for anyone else that uses the app.
thanks guys, im using android messages and it seems to work fine.

Work Profile No Caller ID

Hi,
Not sure if this is a Pixel or Android issue. I'm using the Pixel 5 and my company has Intune installed work profile. I can search my work contacts from the personal contact app for calls and messenger. When calls come in I have two issues, most of the time Caller ID will display the phone number but not the callers name. It seems like out of 10 calls, I may get one or two with the name displayed from my work contacts. The other issue that happens is I'll hear the phone ring but I don't get the notification so I can answer the call or see whos calling until the second or third ring.
Phone software is all stock and up to date. Google launcher, Google contacts and phone app, Google Messenger, etc. Tried restarting the phone, no luck. Would like to know if this is a common problem or an issue with my phone.
Work profile using Intune and MS Office 365 apps. Thanks.

Question Incoming calls not showing names

Hi,
I've recently moved from a Galaxy S21 to the Pixel 7.
Ever since, on my new Pixel, incoming calls (it might be for specific callers, still unsure) will not show their names, only the numbers!
Later on, on the recent calls list, their names will appear perfectly.
When the incoming call is just a popup over another app, or through notifications, it would actually show the name.
My headphones would even say the name of the caller with the incoming call.
But the phone app would only show a number.
Attaching screenshots.
I've tried already to clear both cache & data of the phone app.
Any suggestions are welcome!
In your contacts (address book app) are the numbers exactly the same as what is shown in the call log? No + or ( ) ?
Are you using the Google contacts app?
That's my only thought.
Hmm, thanks, I usually have people saved with their country code, and this shows just the local number..
I've tried adding now for one of them also the number without the country code, and funny enough even the popup now doesn't show their name :sss
I have the google contact app, though I'm not sure that's what's used by default on the pixel.
I've tried now to merge some 500 contacts through the google contacts app, it's said it'll take some while before it's reflected on my phone, will check again later if that's made any difference.
i had a similar issue when receiving sms messages and calls. i disabled the chat feature in the messaging app which solved the problem for me.

Does the phone app have permissions for Contacts? Did you try stopping the phone app, clearing the storage, and then reopen it?
