Hello,
I would like to save phone number to contacts during the call, when I turn on keypad and type number there is only "add to block list" option. Is it possible to do it with stock software, please?
Thank you
Jakub

Thank you, I am aware of this, it would be nice to have more handful way.

Hi all, I'm finding it frustrating that there is no way to edit a contact's details or quickly make a call from viewing an SMS, is there a tweak/patch for this or am I doing something wrong??
close input program like keyboard, press up and down key to highlight sms, and press call
Solved.
Cheers, It's a bit annoying that you can't do it from the Flo view, and is a bit awkward, however this method also works to get to contacts too if you press the center button.
Thank You.
just press more (left buton)
in the list of sms's press the phone button. you will be able to call that person.
you do not need to close the keyboard.
If u dun close keyboard u cant select the message, u'll highlight text instead
what about just hitting the green button key ? that works for me

when i press more in the tf3f sms screen i go to the sms list.
if i have a keyboard there or not does not make a difference.
as soon as i press the call key, i can make a phonecall. to the selected person.
if i press up or down the next message is selected and i can call to that person.
what are you doing different?
perhaps your message is already highlighted. u can only call, forward, etc, when the message is highlighted. U'll see a lightblue highlight on the message.
When u're replying a message, no message is highlighted, hence, no forwarding etc
but when you reply to a message you are in a different screen.
i am talking about the sms overview.
so to call someone you received a message from it is only two clicks, instead of 1 click as the first poster wanted.
lol, probably misunderstanding. we both obviously have no problems and threadstarter also no problems already, so, case solved lol

you could say that
Thanks everybody for your input, yes the solution works.
If I'm in the single SMS mode (i.e. the SMS "old style" list I have no problems accessing contact details or making a call.
The threaded SMS mode proves to be more difficult, however by highlighting a message (either pressing up, or down then up, or closing the keyboard) then you can access the number by pressing the call button.
The Quick SMS view in the HTC FLO mode though proves the most difficult only allowing you to select the message to open up the Threaded SMS view. This is the mode I wanted to make a call directly from or access there details, however I don't think that is possible.
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.
Hi guys,
I can't save contacts, when i typing numbers on dailpad which is not match on my existing contacts while there was a button appear like "Save To Contact?" where i press and then it ask to save new or save in existing contacts. if i choose new contact usually a screen appear and ask contact details, after entering detail then i press save. the screen disappears, after that i check out on contacts that was not saved. in case i choose existing contact option, the already saved contacts also disappeared.
but after attending call from unknown number it ask the same thing to save contact that was working good.
help me.
Just trying to find a way to paste a code into the dialer ... or better.
I have a special service for international calls. I have to call a number and then I am supposed to punch in the number I actually want to call. Ideally, I'd just like to be able to select the contact number and have the number be entered when I hit the number.
Any ideas??
Press and hold the area above the num pad, release your finger and you'll see the standard paste menu like in every text form

I tried that of course, and the paste does not appear.
Like this?

There's also a Telephone button inside the context menu.
Not exactly. When you open the dialler, you can in fact paste. This what you have shown.
But once the call is being made, you can no longer paste. Even when you go back to the keypad.
Let me explain. I have a special dialing service. First I need to call a special number.
Then I need to paste in the actual number I want to call.
I am too new on the forum to link in a video, but I hope the above is clear.
A solution - of sorts
I've just seen your post. I appreciate it's a bit late in the day.
I've had the same problem
I use 18185 to save money on international calls. My previous phone allow me to cut and paste the number I wished to dial while connected so the access service.
It would seem that is not possible to do this on an S10.
I have however found a workaround which achieves the same result.
If you create a new phone book entry adding the access number first of all.*
In my case 02081802828
Then a comma which will give you a 2 second pause
Then the number that you wish to dial
Save this into the phone book and you will then be able to dial the number directly without having to input any phone number on the dialling screen.
02081802828,+330170732020 would be the complete number.
Hit the phone entry button and your good to go. It does take a while to connect so be patient.
Hope this helps
solved, but no longer needed.
Yes, that is what I did. But it was annoying to have to do it for all of my contacts.
I ended having to download all of my contacts and then edit them all with a code editor macro.
It was annoying but it worked, and for about a year my phone bill went down to just about nothing above my basic monthly fee.
Now, I've changed jobs and have a work phone, so I don't have to worry about it

Hello guys,
I was looking for kids mode like the one from Samsung. Unfortunately my kid's phone is not samsung and i wasnt able to port the application to work on Sony Device.
The main reason for this is that they had a Dialer application for kids which shows no phone number but ONLY the name of the mother/father contacts while calling. I want to use this function to make the phone more secure in case is stolen or robbed. As well it offers to block any other incoming calls except the selected ones.
@ktmom suggested me to try with a Tasker. I've never been experience a similar software for this kind of things.
Could you please gimme some advices or help regarding my needs and suggest me from where to start.
Thanks in advance.
Hi Ho [emoji16]
The plan I would start with is to create a shortcut on the desktop or a notification with call mom (or dad) buttons. Then use tasker to directly dial the numbers (as variables) without having them entered into the phone's contacts.
The trick is the dialer history will keep a history of called numbers, but I think that can be deleted; though we may need one or two plugins to tasker to achieve that reliably.
If this is in line with your goals, then I'll be happy to create a task or two to handle this that you can import. That is easier than teething to develop it yourself as a beginner.
I'm at the airport waiting for my daughter's flight, but let me know if this will work, or any ideas you have.
Sure, let's do it like that with your help. And in the process of developing we can sharpen it.
BTW thank you so much for your help and patience. I do really appreciate your help. ????
I actually just got home. Is there a timeframe for this? I'm thinking Christmas or similar. Otherwise I'll spend some time this weekend to come up with something for you.
This is just a basic set of tasks to create quick dialers to Mom and Dad, without needing the numbers to have been entered into the contacts app.
One task, "create shortcuts", sets two of Tasker's quick setting tiles. One will call Dad, the other will call Mom. The use of the quick settings tiles should help prevent accidental calls and still be convenient.
After importing the linked project, go to the device's quick settings editor and drag the first two Tasker tiles into the active area. The tasks won't actually appear set to the tiles until they are in the active area.
The task, "create shortcuts" should run on import of this project, performing the configuration mentioned above; associating the tiles with the "call mom" and "call dad" tasks.
The icons are set in the respective "call mom" or "call dad" task. To change the icon, enter the task then tap the icon at the bottom and select a new one. The "create shortcuts" task may need to be run again (manually) to update the tile's icon.
You must go to the "dialer" task and edit the value in the "To" field within the first two actions to the appropriate phone numbers.
The left facing arrow at the top left of the screen exits out of the task and saves the changes. You should also make a habit of tapping the checkmark [emoji736] at the top of the screen after saving a task, which saves the changes to Tasker. That checkmark is available only when there are changes to be saved.
This is just a start, hoping to get feedback if this is the right direction for you.

Hey,
thanks a lot for the time you spent for this.
I've tested it and it calls with no issues.
Now we have to make the phone numbers to disappear. Can we put a fixed custom title? This is because it uses the name written in the contact list.
BTW is there an option to drop an icon on the desktop of the phone?
Thanks again for your great help!

Yes, we can create a desktop shortcut. Instead of the tiles?
What do you mean "it uses the name in the contact list"? Do you mean in the call history?
I meant that when I run the call from the tasker it uses the name from the contact book/history. This is not big issue, but it just wondering if it's possible.
Thank you

That is the relationship the phone app has with the contact app. You have to remove the names from the contact app.
I'm confused. I thought the goal here is to obfuscate the phone numbers so if the phone is picked up by a "stranger", the numbers are not evident.
If I was, for example, a stalker, and I took the child's phone to get phone numbers, the first place I would look is in the contacts app. The second place is in the call log. Can you help me understand what is and isn't necessary here.
To create the task to remove the call's history from the history, I have to sort out the contentrovider structure for the phone database. I've explored the text messaging DB, but I need to be on my computer to find the phone DB structure.
