Multiple Contacts numbers

Hi My mum just got herself the g note and asked the question why cant she put more than one number to a particular contact? comparing this to my s2 the rom feels the same and all but when you want to add more numbers to one contact it only gives prevision for name, last name, phone no. and email and that's it.. My s2 can input more than one number i was just wondering is there a way to do this off stock? or would i have to get a 3rd party app for this?
If its any help its the note n7000b.. (don't know why it has "b")..
Cheers.

Think that's because the contacts are saved to the sim and not the phone memory or sync with Google I have mine synchronized with Google so gives me all the options

Ah see i had always had my google acc as default when adding new numbers so i never ran into something like this.. Well I have made the changes and we are cooking with gas! Just one more thing is there a way to extend the incoming call according to my mum it rings out after 3 times.. again something i had never delt with so forgive the noobish questions

GO Dialler/Contacts annoyances. Best alternative?

I've been using Go Dialler/Contacts for well over a year, previously on my HTC desire and it had the same issue back then where it wouldn't register the cleared missed calls, so if you got a missed call, it would say 1 missed call, then you would check the missed call and the notification would go. Then if you got another missed call (and only 1) it would then say 2 missed calls, this would go on and on until you restarted the phone. On the desire I solved this by putting the app in system/app with root explorer.
Another annoyance is that when you dial or try to save a number, it automatically puts spaces between digits where country/area code are. I like to keep my numbers all in the same format, that means no spaces or anything, so just +XXXXXXXXXX
I use my phone for business so save a lot of numbers, this is going to be a pain to have to edit each number while saving a contact.
So just wondering, since go dialler/contacts hasn't been updated since nov '12, is there any newer and better alternatives that work the same way with the dialler predictions (and having latest dialled show up smartly when composing new message in GO SMS also - this is handy!) but which don't have the annoyances?
Any feedback appreciated!

I am new to the world of Android, having previously been a RIM and iOS user. However, since coming over to Android and seeing the open nature of the platform...loving it. Anyway, back to the matter in hand....Contacts+ works brilliantly, I would suggest giving it a look :good:

I use 'ExDialer & Contacts' app
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5tb2Rvb2h1dC5kaWFsZXIiXQ..
Very simply themable dialler and contacts app.

Thanks for the suggestion. Do you know what this means?
"This is a trial version with 7 days trial period. When the trial period expired, you will be asked to buy PRO version. You can still keep trying if you haven't decided to buy"
So is it free to keep using or what? Do they keep bugging you to upgrade/pay?

I don't have experience of it,but I would guess you will get nags to upgrade, although with what frequency I couldn't say. I think that is one of the reasons I stuck with contacts+...it's free! That and the integration with FB, it's merge facility etc

Going to try out exdialer first I think, seems to have a lot of recommendations from what I've seen, first impressions are good anyway and it's solved the issue of the number having the spaced put automatically. I think the missed call issue might be in every dialler so I might have to put it in system app

Is free but every 7 days when you next open the dialler it will show a screen asking if you want to buy the full version.
Very easy to ignore if you don't want to pay for the full version.

thanks, every 7 days, so 52 notifications a year, hmm, seems a bit much

It used to come up daily but i think the developer changed it to 7 days because too many people complained!

Thanks, I'll give it a trial anyway and see how it fares.

Try Dialer One, a very nice app.

Thanks, it actually turns out that ex dialler doesn't solve the issue with numbers being automatically formatted with spaces etc also, the add contact screen is a bit messy of exdialler, I find go contacts better in that regard, go may even be slightly faster?
Would anyone know how to get around the auto formatting at all? There's an option in exdialler not to use area codes or something which I thought would help but it doesn't.

I don't find a problem with the spaces in the numbers so can't help with that one!
Regarding the add contact, when I click on the + button to add a contact it takes me to my default Motorola add contact screen (which is also messy!) so I'm not sure there is anything I can do about that.
When you add a contact is it taking to you an ex dialler add contact screen?

Yes, I downloaded Ex Dialler and Contacts (I'm not sure if there's a simple "ex dialer" link without the contacts?) but now I can choose either ex dialer contacts or go contacts. Unless ex dialer is using the motorola contacts?

Have now tried dialer1 and contacts+.
Contacts+ is a bit overkill for me and not customisable to get rid of contact pictures, change font etc so it just looks too clunky for me.
I'm very happy with Dialer 1, but there's two things I miss from Go Contacts:
1) The ability to search part names, so say for example you had a contact saved with a long, easily forgetable name, something like josternberg and you could never remember it, but you knew part of his name was "stern", that if you type 78376 it would show up. Unfortunately at the moment it doesn't, but it does in other aps (Go Contacts/Dialer and Contacts+). This would be especially useful for anyone who has saved contacts without putting spaces between certain words. So imagine I had a few hundred android developers phone numbers and saved them as: androiddevappname, I could get to all dialer contacts by typing "342537" for dialer, even though it's surrounded by other characters.
2) Alphabet scrolling in the contact window. At the moment there's only a little green bar that can be scrolled down/up. In Go Contacts/Dialer, there was a permanent alphabet sidebar (small but capable) which you could hit any letter to get to that section of your contacts. I've over 1,000 contacts saved with a sequential first name code starting with VTA (for my business) and after saving a new contact, I used to be able to quickly to the letter "w" scroll up a step and check that the new contact I saved was there, two actions but without the alphabet bar it's going to take a bit of scrolling to get there.
Also waiting on the release of light theme

I am pretty sure you can enable smart dialing in dialerOne settings...

Thanks negus, yes dialer1 does have smart dialing, but will only work at the start of each name, so say if I had you saved in my phone as "xdaforum negus40", I'd be able to find you by numbering in N E G U S or X D A, but not by numbering in U S 4 0 or F O R U M. I sent the dialer 1 team an email which they replied to quickly saying they'll look into adding these functions

Calls Screen

Dear All,
I'm trying to find an application or any setting by which the number wont appear just the name during call screen. For example " john " in saved in my contacts. When he calls me his name appears on the screen but not the number.. Just his name. Please help me with this I've googled a lot but unfortunately did not avail anything. kindly help.

Seems like since xposed is working, now it's your best bet.

Here is an app which can block phone numbers on incoming calls.
Instead of displaying phone numbers, it displays "private" or "unknown".
You can check it out at the playstore, here is the link for the app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rabbimobile.no_show
Good luck!

What you're looking for is a modified "in call ui" but I'm afraid that functionality wouldn't be removed from many modified versions. There's full screen mods which may or may not display the number, then there's roms that have built in theming like alliance, where you could change the in call ui text color to transparent for certain elements (ie the phone number).
But every contacts and dialer app is just that-contacts and dialer. It won't change the appearance of the in call ui because it has no bearing on that, once the call or answer button is hit, the task is handed over to incallui.apk... so you won't find anything in the play store. Best bet would be to find a themed version of in call ui or beg/pay a themer to theme your in call ui with transparent dialer text for you (considering it's an odd request and wouldn't be something with a wide release). One other thing to note-if you accomplish getting an in call ui made the way you want it (or find one already made that way) it may not work on all roms, so be sure that the file you hand over for theming is from a rom you plan to use for a good while.

that was really helpful.. I'll try to make a request and see if i can get something. Btw i also found this app which is " Ultimate Caller ID Screen HD " . The lite version servers only 6 contacts. The app lets you change the font size , font type and font color of the Caller Screen. So i chose a black backround image for the contact and changed the font color of the number to black. Now the number is not visible. It did serve me well.
Thanks to all of you who helped.
Appreciated

I'm glad you found a workaround that works for you!
Always remember it's usually easier to hide certain element(s) by either making them transparent or match the background, or making the actual size of them nearly non-existent... than it is to remove the element(s). When it comes to contacts you have the phone/contacts and the incallui, so finding specifically what you're looking for is the key. Glad you found something that works. Might be worth it to purchase the pro version if you decide you like it and it meets your needs, it probably would offer more choices in the coloring and such (like alpha) and of course no 6-contact limit. Good luck!

1. Such quality after synchronization. (4-6 KB), after a screenshot is even less.
2. If you allow yourself photos 5.97 MB. after the screenshot remains of 1.26 MB and after optimization for (JPEG 359 KB) Here is an example of such a photo. The cursor is positioned in the photo. View how much is left from 5,97 MB

I agree, it is easy when you have root.
Why you need a contact.apk, on previous versions of Android need to fix InCallUI. apk
On Mate9-L29 c185d158 sure there is a large photo on incoming calls. On outgoing the photo as if superimposed semi-transparent mask
P.S. By the way, how do you like these Contacts

thanks this is great....

when u receive a call the photo is blurry while for same contact when u make the call the photo is clear and full screen
why?????

Hello
I have a problem with the photos of the caller. Some pictures are displayed in full screen and others are displayed small.

I would like everything to be like the picture.
How can I do this?

Usually a small photo after synchronization. Try reinstalling the photo in the contact.

Thanks.
I want a small photo, like a small photo. How to make them everywhere?

So how do i display photo for outgoing calls. All pics are blurry. Incoming calls no problem

All fine and good, but where can we find this update for this firmware? It was asked several times here, but no answer...pity.

Huawei mate 10 lite
Hello. I have huawei mate 10 lite and I am facing contact pictures issue. On some of the calls the picture shows in full size, some pictures shows in small circle and some doesn't even show. I have updated the phone do everything I can do but still facing the same issue. Please help me......
Second issue is battery draining issue. Battery drains so fast. I even visited to service center and they updated the software. So the pho e was working good for first 10 to 12 days and then slowly slowly it came back to its real condition like battery drains so fast. My usage is limited and I don't use any power intensive app. Before facing this issue my phone battery was good to go for atleast 32 hours but since I started facing this issue, it doesn't even last for 24 hours. Help me please in both the cases. I did all the stuff I can do and provide you all the information that I could do. Help me. Thanks.

Android Messages, customizable notifications? Has anyone figured out how?

I've been a android messages user for a while now, but since emui 8 on my p20 pro, I've not been able to set customizable notifications for different contacts. Thought it would work the way as Gmail app, but no luck. I'm using 3rd party app for the moment (TEXTRA), but I don't like it. Anyone have any answers?

Does Android messages do the same thing on other phones?

Yeah it does, I've used it since my P8, and my wife uses it on her P10. Checked again yesterday, can change notifications to whatever she wants. Its like they made it the same as their old sms app.

For some reason huawei has removed this option from android messages. One of many unexplained software decisions with emui

google made this rules
as new Google rule all messaging should happen via Google messaging app only

Wasn't Google, had a chat with the other week. They have no control of what Huawei did. And Huawei just said sorry, I'll ask our Devs team to look into it but they are looking into 9 pie, so they may never fix it.

which is fine, but it still does not answer why you can customize notifications in the google messaging app on any other phone, but not on huawei.

Tried it and it took me to the App Notifications Setting screen - selecting Messages does not show any settings to change the notification tone.

You should see an entry called Other notifications, click on that (the text not the toggle button and you will then be able to set the Sound and other options.
