Is it possible to paste a number into the dialer? - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can't get the paste popup to show up at all, surely the dialer isn't missing this very basic feature.
Edit - working now, wasn't earlier.

[Request]ICS Speed dial dialer with conference bridge number support

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?
1. Speed dial

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.

[Q] [ASK] Remove separator

hi, i want to ask
is it possible to remove separator (minus '-' sign) in the z1's phonebook ?
i use to copy-paste numbers from phonebook to text message, but i need that numbers without separator. Of course i can edit it in text message, but if i copy paste a lot of contacts i will need alot of time to delete those separator sign.
maybe you suggest to sent the vcl files, but all i need is sent it via text message. since i need to add some text to it.
Thanks
by the way are there application that add the menu 'insert number' just like old nokia phone, because i think copy paste from phonebook is so unefficient

Hmm... Not really the easy solution you're looking for, but you could try to reformat all your contacts to remove the -'s. I've done this before by using contacts.Google.com to export my contacts to a csv, open in excel, make mass edits excel, delete the contacts from Google then upload the new csv to Google contacts to repopulate them. Isn't the most elegant solution though...

..btw ..even if there is a - between numbers the phone will dial them correctly and you will not have any problems. I think it just a matter of how they look.
@eclyptos : its not for dial, consider i sent text to kind of bot/machine. So i need specific format which is no separator

Copying a number from the log /phone app

So I've notice since I purchased the edge that I can no longer copy a phone number from the log tab.
I used to be able to press and hold to copy a number and paste it elsewhere. Now it looks like I have to press the text message button on that specific number then copy the number from the text message App... Way too many steps for such a simple task.
Is there anyway to enable this feature or have you guys found a much easier way to do this?
