[Q] Phonetic names - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it just me or there is no option of phonetic names in the contact app in sp 4.1.. whereas it is a fucntion of android 4.1..?? any solution?

any body?

Not sure what you mean phonetic names?
When in contacts I can see down the right hand side letters and if chosen will take you to that letter.
Or if in dialler I can spell name and it shows what numbers or named are linked..
Don't think this is what you mean but could you explain a bit more what it is you can't do.

phonetic names are assigned to the contacts for voice recognition simplicity. All names are not english and google voice recognizer often missspells the contact name. phonetic names allow you to record the name in your voice to easily call the contact or send a text message to it through google now. Its a feature of android 4.1 but I can't find it in any of the sony phones that i have used. follow the above link

I have tried sending the Google contacts app to my Sp but I get a parsing error.
Would another contacts,dialler work.....never really used voice dialing

its basically useful when using google now, in calling and send messages through it. but google now doesnt recognize names other than english or the given language.. phonetic names allow it to recognize it in your own voice.. but cant find it in my phone

I have just tried whitemamba aio pack and in this is the people app which allows phonetic names maybe this will help you.

All my contacts number changes sometimes

Hi. I'm using galnet miui 3.4 but I have been getting this problem since version one.
Sometimes all of my contact number changes to have "-" symbol every 3 digit except last one.
For example, if I saves my contact as 0430123456, oneday it becomes 043-012-3456
This is very annoying because if it becomes like that, when I receive a call or message, I don't get contacts name but only number.
This "-" symbol number system works in Korea as far as I know and I am using kakao talk app which is Korean made and I suspect it.
I think this one or my other app changes my number but I don't know how to prevent it or fix it easily.
Is there any app which removes - symbol easily?
Thanks in advance and have a nice day!
Edit**
I just tried to change number in the phone and I think the miui contact is keeping the number in that format.
Does anyone know how to disable this feature? Thank you

Group messaging

Hi
On my HTC I was able to send group text messages to just mobile numbers that i had setup in gmail but on the xperia T it sends it all numbers associated with that contact. So my group of 58 ppl becomes 93 numbers. Is that an xperia T problem or my custom ROM.
Thanks

ok, I am on that rom and i dont have any groups set up, i will test it tomorrow and let you know
Just downloaded from play store group text, and it had an option to show mobile numbers only, and no limit to number of recipients u can send to so, got there in the end but HTC did it as standard just thought xperia could do it too.
Thanks for looking into this. Would like the stock apps to do this.

i have just set up a group to test it and when i goto the group and choose send group message it gives me a list of numbers to choose for each member in the group.
There is also an option to "remember the selection" so next time it will just pick that number....
So it does work in stock message app...

Problem entering letters in zip code in contact app. What am I doing wrong?

Hi, I live in Holland and our zip code contains 4 numbers and 2 letters. In the contact app I can enter the numbers, but it does not accept letters.
Contacts I already had, they have normal zip codes, 4 numbers and 2 letters.
Am I missing something obvious? Do I need to change country settings? Or is this a bug? Or something else?
I would like to hear about your experiences.

Blocking a number.

Hi.
I have a stock Xperia Z and there is a number I wish to block. I can't find a built in block feature in the phone app.
Can someone help me how to block a number please??
Thankyou

The best you can do with the stock phone app is to send their call to voicemail.
When adding or editing a contact, there is an option at the bottom of the page to check 'Send calls directly to voicemail'.
I wish there was a proper blacklist function personally, like on my wife's S3. She can block numbers not in her contacts and use wildcards etc to do so.

You can assign to that number a muted sound file (search at Google) . It won't block it but you won't listen to it.

Google Voice Input Bug

Don't know wether I'm right here. But my Problem is, that if I select the Voice Input everything works right. The problem occur when I select a word and want to choose another word. See in the screenshot for the explanation.
