[Q] How to change Me avatar in SMS? - XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am using CM6.1.3 ROM on my X10i. May I know, how to change my own (Me) avatar in SMS?

Sorry if this seems obvious, I did it a long time ago, but I seem to remember just going to
My number
(its the first one in my contacts, even before the 'A's)
Long clicking on it and choosing edit.
Then clicking on the picture and changing it.

What if it doesn't show my number, but only "Unknown"?

You can still change the avatar, it's just that the phone cannot read the number off your sim.

My phone number
Then enter it manually

if the last post doesn't work, just create a contact with your number, and it will fix it.

you can try this:
1. change to vibration mode using status power widget, or just set it to vibrate mode.
2. go to settings>sounds (or just long press the sound icon in power widget), under "silent mode", set it to "off"
3. check "Vibrate and ring"
4. send yourself an sms to check for vibration and sound
if it dosnt work, check the settings of the mms.apk

Phone Number Fix / App

Does anyone know of an app or a fix to remove the +1 from your contact phone numbers. I sort of remember something that fixed this with my Incredible, but my searches have found nothing.
How or why does the +1 get added and what's the fix?
thx...

dunno of an app, but you can edit your contacts from your computer. just go to gmail.com and where it says "gmail" under the google logo, click the drop down and choose contacts.
Contacts cleanup in the playstore.

Yep, I get it. But why do it manually when an awesome dev already created something for us?!
Thanks lemaj5 - I'll give it a go.
There was an app that could do that.
It wasn't in the market. It was great at fixing numbering, but I can't find it now
go to settings > call >assisted dialing > untick enable assisted dialing

No direct call button?

OK my droidx there was a phone icon in the recent call log and I believe the address book that I could tap to call the person. With the gs3 I have to open up the contact first and then hit the call button. Anyway to make it call directly from the contact list?

swiping to the right on the contact will call , to the left will open messaging.
I'm pretty sure this is on by default... if not you will have to enable it.
Oh fantastic that works great. Is there a post with other such tricks?

Nice find, thanks!
It pauses for about 1-2 seconds which is a little annoying - seems slow, but it's definitely better than clicking everywhere!
Is there any way to get the ICS dialer on here? (rather than using something like Go Dialer)

[Q] Surrounding default phone app in AVATAR Rom

Hello there, I'm currently using [ROM][UNOFFICIAL BETA][CM10] Avatar ROM for Motorola Atrix MB860[Updated 17th Feb 13]
HTML:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2140902
and have been enjoying it. I installed GO contacts EX and Go Dialer EX but for the life of me I can't seem to figure out how to stop the Avatar Rom for using the default dialer when it sends or receives a call. I've gone through and looked at every option I can search through and there is nothing that allows me to uncheck / remove / ignore the default phone app.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the reply. That was the first place I looked. Unfortunately I think the default dialer is hijacking Go Contacts/dialer EX. Go Contacts is set for the default already but the moment I dial out from it, the default dialer takes over on both outgoing and incoming calls. It's kind of annoying but I can simply get rid of Go Contacts and just live with the default. It will be a love/hate relationship It beats having the two programs competing all the time.

I've never tried it before, but root your device (if you haven't already), then go into system apps and delete the default dialer. this might work, but make sure you have your preferred dialer installed ahead of time. this is just an idea, idk if it works

It was a good idea but after I deleted dialer.apk (backed it up just in case), the system pasted a new dialer.apk in it's place (the original default one) once I launched exdialer lol. I have to admit, it is kind of comical how persistent that dialer.apk is Thanks again for the help. I think I'm stuck with it

Help selecting contact number

Let's say I want to quickly text a number from one of my contacts to another person. In everyone of my previous android phones, I could open the contact and then long press the particular number, either mobile or home phone number and it would give me the option to copy the number which I could then paste into a text. When I try it on the M8, it gives me several selections, none of which are "copy number". I am well aware that I can choose "send contact" but some people can't receive vcards or don't want anything but the one phone number. Anyone know of any mods, hacks, etc. to enable this?
Hold number, click edit, then copy.

couple of unnecessary steps, especially having to long press the number in the edit screen but thanks for the tip.
