Hi, I want to know is there any software we can use to ignore incoming calls from contacts in certain categories? I use only 1 number for business and personal things, it would be very useful for me if I can auto-ignore calls from Business category after business hours
Thanks folks...
Just wanted to add to the question. I was using Nokia3650 previously and it came with a utility named "BlackList". You could put in contacts in the blacklist and they woudl always get a message of "The number your dialling is not responding at the moment". Is there any such utility available for the XDA :? ?
I would love to have such a utility.........If anyone came accross it, PLEASE post it
Just set that business number to other short "beep" ringtone and u won't get any attention when te call comes in.
hello
is there already a blacklistprogram?
thx

Of course there is such a program. It is called Smart Filter(commercial unluckily). I will post it tomorrow (my network is a bit... down... so I'm writing from my MDA! ). Any way, if you don't wanna wait for me to post it - try google!

Isn't this CallerFirewall in Chineeze?
SmartFilter is good.
CallerFirewall
Yes, but it has been translated to English (look further down in the same thread)
CallerFirewall rocks. It's ugly to look at, you need to soft-reset your phone sometimes to get blocked callers added properly, but it's very effective and free. Even though it's clunky to use, it's not like you need to be worried about using this program every day, right?
Hi everybody,
I'm using CallerFirewall for some time now and it works great, no problems so far. But u can't block callers by category, u can do it only individually.
Hi!
I've been using dialer one instead of the google dialer for a while but compared to the HTC sense dialer the big draw back is that there is no groups page.
Anyone know of a good dialer to try?
Cheers,

NubDial or Superdial?

Moved to Q&A as not development. Please do not make a new thread in development to ask a question
It's too bad people aren't responding to this old thread, because the Samsung Dialer has the ability to swipe right for calls and left for texting. I can't find anything else that has something similar.
Thats because imo there are no good dialers in comparison to sense dialer. Wonder if gingerbread will change that and give us smart dial. Its really such a basic function, cant see how they cant integrate it

I'm using this one aswell. The fastest dialer I've tried to date.
I had problems with Youlu, with sending USSC codes.
I have a code. ie *108#.
and using the Youlu it skips the #, and dials *108
sad, as the app besides that is good.

Has anyone tried to replace the froyo stock dialer with the sense dialer, on a froyo rom (eg CM6)?
I could imagine taking the dialer apk from a froyo sense rom and pushing it to a CM6 but my guess is that it can't be this easy....thoughts?
Youlu adress book promts me regualrily about subscribing to their service, it's a no go. Also I am unable to even input USSD codes (recharging as I am on prepaid) 'cause It won't show me the * and # keys.
I like Phonebook 2.0
http://www.appbrain.com/app/phonebook-2-0/com.voxmobili.phonebook2
but it's overdone with the aim to replace the Sense Dialer and Adressbook.
But I like the fuzzy dialing ( 2539 for ALEX ) with dialer One has.
Worth a look though.
I think fast dialer is good too if you got Russian Friends written natively in your adressbook.
Touchpal dialer is also quite good. The market description is all in Chinese, but it runs in English just fine as well. It has all the features of DialerOne but runs faster.
Youlu is quick and simple for me. I like it.
It's support thai (my native) and english
To all: try Gocontacts for dialer and contact manager, then post comments about it here... i tried them all and this one is my favorite !!

Hi everyone,
I hope to consider this post in the good section, because I think this problem could be solved by a developer.
So, what's about?
I'm coming from a WM device (HTC Touch HD) and, having a huge amount of contacts, I discovered a problem with the stock dialer.
In my old phone dialer, when I searched for (by example) letters JO it returned all the contacts containing these string in name, surname or company name, like this:
Doe, JOhn (Acme Inc.)
JOhannes, Mike (McNeill Co.)
Power, Paul (JOss Ind.)
In my SGS2 (as well as in the Galaxy Tab) stock dialer, the results returned are only the contacts where the name starts with JO: JOhannes, Mike.
Also, the stock dialer isn't showing the company name and, because I have more persons with the same name, I often make confusions and call the wrong person.
Question: can anybody correct this problem and/or modify the stock dialer in order to return all the relevant results?
A related problem is with the anwer screen where only name and surname are shown. Will be great if could be shown the company name also.
P.S. there is a dialer who already can do a real K9 search and snowing all the relevant results: aTAKEphONE. But I prefere to add as less as possible other application to my phone. Also, the above mentioned dialer does not make video calls.
So, what do you think guys ?
Could we have a real K9 serch in our stock dialer ?
Regards to you all !

Same problem as you mate, the dialer sucks due to this fact. I went for go dialer instead. Works well and has video call (i think...?) And nice grouping of contacts if you have lots...
At least it gives the correct search if nothing else
I'd too stick to the default dialer if it actually worked.
Good luck, and please post here if you find a hack for it.

if you mean t9, try dialer one from market.
sent from my SGSII via T*patalk
Yes, sorry...
I wanted to say t9
To reply to the other posts, neither GO contacts nor Dialer One fits my needs. I've tried almost dialers...
And want to have the t9 for the dialer section and not for it's contact section.
So, I also hope that some skilled developer will find a solution for us.
I'll keep posting any news anyway.

I'm curious but what about dialer one isnt meeting your needs? It searchs first and last name and by number, in both contacts and call logs, all similtaneouly. Brings most often contacted to the top, etc. I'm wondering if its the company name? Not sure as that gets included in the return as I have my contacts set up by name except where then company is the name itself and then I have different numbers set up under that contact. Just curious as I'm always looking for a better mousetrap. I'm sure someone will be along to point at that requests do not belong in this section as stated in the faq above.

Yeh Dialer one searches business name and just about everything in the contact info. I wouldn't go back to stock even if it did search properly, even though that is why I left it. I personally don't see whats missing in Dialer one either so curious what the topic author finds is missing.
Edit: Except he DOESN'T want T9 when searching contacts and only in the dialer. Not sure of the reason for this but hey. He could always use the stock contact manager still and only use the dialer for making calls.
Oh, I assumed he was using T9 search. I dont even have a contact shortcut on the home screen. A lot of people don't realize its actually less clicks to get to a number through T9 on the dialer than any other search method.

I agree. Pretty much all contact methods are easily accessable in Dialer one by entering just a few numbers for detailed t9 prediction then clicking on their contact photo choose call, sms, email, video call, full contact info, facebook, google maps.....
Jus thought I'd say I have no affiliation with Dialer one, just a happy user
I hear you. The stock dialer is woefully inadaquate in terms of enhanced functionality and search. Was used to much better before I got to android. Like I said though, always looking for a better mousetrap or just learning something new that makes things either easier or faster.
I have been using Rocket Dialer. its the best i saw amongst all T9 dialers
Guys,
First of all, this post was intended to rise a challenge for developers for finding a solution to have a real T9 search on the stock dialer.
Second, I agree that there are many other dialers out there, most of them better than the stock dialer.
Third, Dialer One does not show the company within the returned results. So, if you search JO and you have more "Doe, JOhn" you will see these results without knowing who-is-who. Will you going to open each one in order to find the right John that you want to call?
Anyway, the discussion slipped to a discussion about different dialers, as I can see. All right, maybe this could give ideas to a good developper for implementing the best funtions in a new dialer... or to modify the stock one.
Keep posting, maybe will improve our Android smartphones.

dialer from ZSKF4 has that feature. perhaps you can try flashing that rom. bear in mind that's an Asian rom.

Ahh so you want to show the company name in in the results. Now I re read your message its pretty obvious now I think of it... Ooops.
I agree maybe we should list things that people like from all dialers and maybe some devs can add these functions to the stock dialer.
I thought you meant search say "Nike" and show all people who work for Nike.... of which Dialer one does but it will also show your best mate "Nikelodeon Smith" as well... but will not show the company name in the search names....
Thank you for your suggestion. Can you try please to post a screenshot with a search result ?

I'm glad that you saw the point. Where I want to arrive is: using our Android handsets also for business, not only for fun.
This is mean that they really should be SMARTphones, helping us to use them better and faster.
Ar regarding your suggestion, let's do it!
I'll start a new post for that purpose and I'll post the link here.
Meanwhile, everybody is welcome to post here their suggestions.

Are you referring to searching for company names too in the dialer?
After reading this post I found this app that does it well - Eir Fast Dialer.
You do have to go into the settings to enable company names though but it seems to work well after that.

Hi guys.
My Motorola Milestone had a call button beside each contact on the stock Contacts app. The Xperia neo doesn't have such a thing (if I click on a contact, it takes me to a contact page where I must then click on the phone number to start the call).
I thought that button was standard on the Android Contacts app. Perhaps not. Anyway, is there a way I can have button like that on the neo? Perhaps installing an app or something...
You are correct, direct phone button is there when you are in Android default rom (like those in CM rom).
In my opinion, Sony make it much more beautiful, and convenient in integrate with facebook, twitter etc, but sucks in its original function - dial - and don't have T9 search which already found in many old phones, some will say there is a search there, but it can only search by name.
But still, you can install thirty party app, GO dialer, dialpad, etc, just search in Market.

All contacts app substitutes from the Market are flawed in something, and even the best are badly translated to portuguese.
Because it's so simple but useful I'd suppose someone had already added this functionality (call buttons on the contacts) on the regular app using... umm... maybe another app. I don't know, I'm just a user with a problem really, like most people.
clik on the contacts photo, a pop-up will come with call and text button.
Yes I noticed this problem with the Pro too, not intuitive at all, when I first tried to call someone I was stuck looking at their contact details with no way to know how to call someone, dam stupid! -1 for Sony for that!
i figured it out accidently on my Neo V.tap the caller image(even if it is not assigned) and you will find your solution.hope it works on Neo as well

Yeah it does, just tried it on my original Neo.
I have spent the last three days searching my brains out and have not found an answer to my question.
I recently installed the backside rom in my OV and love it (many thanks) but the stock voice to text feature in messaging included with the virgin mobile rom is no longer there. The feature is gone and the little mic icon on the keyboard is gone. Is there a way to bring it over on the sd card when I install the new rom and then add it back in? Does someone know where to get the files to install back in?
I have tried several market apps but none of them function quite the same or as well as the factory app. I don't want to go back to the stock rom but this feature may be the deal breaker.
Thanks in advance for all your help. love the site.

I appreciate the response and thanks for the welcome but that app is just not quite the same and I do not think it adds an icon to the keyboard when attempting to text.
I would like to now if the original equipment feature is able to be added when flashing the new rom.
thanks again.

Thank you for the reply but I am not looking for an alternative solution I am looking for information on re-installing the original app that comes installed in the phone.
The original function is very user friendly, requires no setup and minimal input to use. Voice search is just not the same. However, if someone knows if Voice can be setup "exactly" like the original app I am all ears.
Thanks again.
