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,
Zasten

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.

It consumes memory heavily
recently upgraded from stock Hero 2.1 to Elelinux7.1.0 mod (android 2.3)
it was good but too laggy on "Angry birds" ;-) so i tried Fusion!ROM 2.2 and eventually settled on Elelinux 6.2
One thing i noticed about all of these ROMS was I'd lost some functionality on the phone app
on 2.1 i used to be able to start typing a persons name using alpha characters on the phone number pad and it would resolve to the best matches. much faster than scrolling through a contacts list
so if fro example i type 7838.... it would be looking for number beginning 7838 but also suggesting any contacts called "Steve" because of the alpha characters on those keys.
My friend's stock Samsung galaxy S running android 2.2 does this so i know it's not something that's been removed in later versions
Non of these new ROMS seems to do this. Has this functionality been removed from the underlying (Cyanogen ?) build or am i missing something obvious and the autosearch needs to be switched on in the settings somewhere.
(or can anyone suggest a Froyo ROM that does have this functionality please because i really miss it ?)
cheers
Glen
That feature was the HTC dialer.
Try GoContacts or Dialerone from the Market.
Brilliant, thanks !
i guess Samsung must also have their own version that doe the same
Cheers

I find touch pal dialer is the least laggy alternative dialer. why stock doesnt include this search function is beyond me.
thanks, i tried a few different ones and that's the app i settled on too.
It's really good as it does "fuzzy" searches not just what the name you are looking for begins with
Although I've got it on my main screen and associated it with the physical phone button it would be good if i could drop it onto the bottom task bar in place of the stock phone dialer.
Anyone know how to do that ?
hi,
i'am a new hower of a galaxy s2.
i ask here as last change as i read in internet this the best forum.
i have android 2.3.6 italian but I am not satisfied of the default phone dial search.
i became from iphone 3g and when i search (with qwerty keyboard) i found all my contant.
my contact are all stored in the field "name" and if have a people called "steve jobs senior" in field name. With t9 defaul search of phone dialer i can't find "jobs" or "senior".
it's possible whit defaul t9 dialer search in each word of field and not only first word? i need to install a roms ?
second question : the tab "logs" is at the top of the screen, there is a skin with this tab at bottom ? like iphone. ?
thank in advance.
i hope in you

Try different dialers. There are a ton in the market. As far as I know, you can't change this behavior in the default dialer on a stock Samsung firmware.
Sounds like you want it to work like an iPhone. I'm not trying to be combative, but if that's so, why did you get rid of your iPhone?
You could always try installing MIUI, that ROM seems popular with ex-iPhone users.
The only way to get what you are talking about is to root your phone and install a custom ROM that is themed to how you like and has different mods to change things such as the dialer.These things cant be changed if they are stock.There are enough ROMs around to suit everyone.The hardest part is finding the one you like.

Take this for what it's worth... you're entering dangerous territory. You said yourself you are new to Android. Installing ROMs is not trivial, or something that should be taken lightly. I see more threads than I can count started by people who need help getting their phone working again because they blindly started flashing stuff when they really had no need.
And your only complaint at the moment is how the dialer functions. Why don't you slow down, and try out some dialer apps from the market? There are a ton of free ones. I know I suggested the MIUI ROM above, but I think this is better advice.
Lastly, ICS is still not officially released. Any ICS ROM out there right now is either based on a leak (and therefore full of bugs and is probably less than stable), or really a Gingerbread ROM themed to look like ICS.
thanks ctomgee
i try for some dialer, and i wait for official ics for s2

ICS is still in beta stage and giving advanced users problems so if you dont want to root and flash a custom ROM(GB not ICS) them maybe on the market you can find a 3rd party launcher while you wait.
Hello People.
I have seen here many people asking what rom is best for them and i understand that it is entirely a personal choice.
That said, i would really appreciate any advice as this will be my first Custom ROM.
I rooted my Samsung Galaxy s4 a while ago (almost as soon as i got it actually) so that i could remove some very annoying apps.
Having done that i was quite happy with the vanilla kitkat on my phone untill very recently, when I was told that i could not update the os because the phone was rooted.
With that I have now decided that, since i will get no more updates i may as well try a custom rom.
Here is the problem. I have looked at loads of ROMs on here and i have no idea what to try.
I am looking for a ROM that is very similar to the stock kitkat (maybe with some of the annoying stuff removed).
That can potentially improve my battery life, I will also try inverted colour schemes (or a ROM that allows you to customise your colour scheme).
Looks and the like are less important to me as i adapt very quickly to new layouts ect.
I use google for my contacts, and calendar so it is important that this will still work normally (I.E. sync gmail contacts and calendar with contacts and calendar apps on phone).
Ideally still have the stock kitkat keyboard as I really like that (and have tried others but always reverted back).
And critically must have no google or samsung apps that are not crutial to operation of the ROM, i will install what i need (althought i suspect that all ROMs conform to this anyway).
I will try any (reasonable) suggestions in response to this post, only after reading the reviews of any suggested ROM.
I apologise in advance if this is in the wrong place, and If there is any further information that is needed just ask.
Thank you all in advance.
Alex
