Yes, it appears to be the case, I'm off back to KE7.

Might want to consider giving dialer one a try. More feature rich (searches contacts and call logs etc.) and you can back up your speed dial and other setup information before flashing.

That is strange. Are you sure it's working properly? It is recognising text patterns and not just numbers?

Numbers from any part of the phonenumbers. Text patterns, but only from start of names as listed, so punching 52 or 526 in dialer will display james from my phonebook. Typing lastnames will not find them.

it is present on KF1 and works normally for me too.
But I prefer the original gingerbread keyboard which is better.

what is the original gingerbread keyboard?
I just reflashed and still not working. Where did you download your KF1 firmware from?
I flashed GT-I9100_TGY_I9100ZSKF1_I9100OZSKE7_I9100XXKE4.tar. Are you using something different?

I just did a factory reset and now it's working better than it ever did. It is now recognising last names too!

The problem I have with the T9 smart dial is the it recognises the NAME and not LAST NAME field.
For example, if I have a contact: John Smith
If I press: 564 (JOH) the contact John Smith appears
If I press: 764 (SMI) the contact John Smith does not appear!!!!
Any solution for that? (Apart of changing stock dialer)

Yes, you can update your firmware to KF1 and then do a factory reset. Worked for me.

Really??? Ahhh so it was a known bug from samsung (or google). Actually I have the same problem with an Samsung GT-i5500 which I use as second phone.
Thinking of upgrading then, although I was preferring to wait the 2.3.4 and not upgrade two times in few days.
BTW is there a release date for 2.3.4.??

SMS not working

Hi,
Two weeks ago the sms service stopped working. I can't send any messages. I checked with my carrier and they told me to try with mi sim card on other phone, so I did and it worked so I'm guessing it's a phone problem (they can't help because I didn't bought my phone with them) so I was wondering if you can help me?
I can receive but can't send (just keeps saying "sending" but nothing else)
Thanks
Usual SMS problem is wrong network settings in message centre .

Ok, but when the called the checked my setting and nothing seemed to be wrong.

From the messaging app: Settings > Message Centre. Does it have a number there? If so, Google the "Message Centre" (or Center, depending on your location) number for your carrier. If it doesn't match, change it to match.
Ok thanks, but checke and it's the correct one for my carrier and country.

Hmm. weird. OK, try clearing out the message centre number, and putting it back in. If that doesn't work, try a third party SMS client, like GoSMS or HandCent.
Thanks now it works. Still wondering why the stock messaging app doesn't =(

So GoSMS or HandCent works, but stock Messaging app does not? That's weird.
If you really want stock back, try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, you can re-flash a stock firmware.

[Q] Just upgraded to ICS, now have problem with keyboard and email

Hey all
I have downloaded the new ICS rom from the sticky on the forum and i am currently having 2 problems:
1) The default keyboard will only type numbers !!! No matter what i do, it wont output any letters. Any idea why? (for the time being i have downloaded GO keyboard, but would like to get the stock one working)
2) The email app (the one where the icon has a red wax seal on it) doesnt delete emails off the server when i delete them from the phone. THIS DEFINITELY USED TO HAPPEN as i used to go weeks without logging into my email account in an actual web browser and i would only ever see the emails i kept. Any ideas why?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help
is anyone able to help with this?
Factory reset.
Reflash firmware.
Upgrade to later rom.

The forum has become saturated with Roms and i wouldnt know the right one to take. Can you recommend the most recent one which is closest to stock and is rooted?

Hi, I'd recommend UHLPE from Intratech's thread - 1075278 (post #3). It's a clean 4.0.3 rom and has been working well. Noticed a number of persons complaining about XXLPQ build but haven't had any of their issues with UHLPE. The big gain in this rom over Gingerbread is better battery life.
Other than this I think the only other rom build at the moment is ZSLPE but haven't tried this as yet.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for this.
Can you confirm this rom will work in the UK? I only ask as it has trinidad and tobago written in there
Is it still the best rom out there?
I'm not 100% on the UK compatibilty. It may, however as you mentioned the CSC is T&T (unbranded),
CSC is the consumer software customisation and is specific to geographical region and carriers. It contains the software packages specific to that region, carrier branding and also APN settings for data connection, MMS etc for your service provider
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
so it will not have your carrier's branding, APN & MMS settings etc. But I had my carrier's info and quickly set this up. If you are not too familiar with these it may be best to wait on a UK based update.
ps. What firmware you used from the forums when you originally encountered the keyboard issue? You can check by dialing *#1234#

Calls go straight to voicemail

Majority incoming calls go to voicemail. web, mms, txt and outgoing calls work fine. I was on 2.3.x and now 4.0.3 ( custom rom based on leaked). I had issue on 2.3.x and still same problem on 4.0.3
Any advice?

That's what I was wondering. Because it sounds like an incompatible modded dialer. I always had this problem if i used one of gadget's dialers on BAMF when he hadn't updated them to the latest release.

Oh yes man, its a great feature! I think now in ICS its just called "Block Caller"
Do you use Google Voice? If so, you might have "Do Not Disturb" enabled.

I can't believe this feature is missing?!

The dialer app cannot do T9 contacts search? I cannot believe it! Can somebody tell me I have missed the setting somewhere to turn it on?

T9 ? I believe that feature was abandoned years ago in most phones... there's no T9 on Z2
1995 called, they want their technology back.
Yeah lets cry about every little thing now..
Abandoned years ago? lol, not even close. Actually T9 with predictive lookup is still the fastest way (least clicks) to get to a number that isn't on speed dial if you know what you're doing. Fast and easy doesn't go out of style and obviously most people and the OEMs agree since I haven't had a phone that doesn't do T9 yet and I get a new flagship phone every time one comes along that I like better than the one I already have. I'm curious what phones don't have it because I'm not running into any without it. With that said there are dialers available on the market with a wide range of features that are IMO better than any I've come across OEM mostly due to increased options so I'd look there for the weapon of my choice.
Wait a minute..
I believe T9 is there on my Z2. For instance, I type 326435 to search "daniel" and it works.
Is that what you're looking for?
I can confirm that T9 works with the dialer.
That is strange. Cause it doesn't work on mine
Works on my z2 too. Maybe clear data for your contacts app?

Hi,
I just got my Z2 from Starhub. I am trying to dial my contacts by matching against names, but it can only match against numbers only too.
Did you manage to find a solution around this?
Thank you!

In the end, I use a 3rd party dialer downloaded from Google play. The stock dialer sucks, unfortunately.

Just because a feature doesn't work for you, means that it sucks. Tried the Daniel thing that was earlier posted and it works fine. Try it in safe mode?

The fact of the matter is that the "daniel" thing didn't work for me, and accordingly to one other person in Singapore too. Maybe the Z2 sold in Singapore is different? The fact is that if I type "326435" it shows no contacts found in the stock dialer but in the 3rd party dialer it shows up Daniel. I have tried alot of things including deleting the dialer data, deleting and recreating all my contacts etc. But none works. This is a very basic feature of a dialer as I do not believe anybody will whip out a dialer and search for his contacts using the contact number. Hence by not being able to perform such a basic feature, it sucks! Sorry for being blunt.
To add on, I have taken a few screenshots to demonstrate what the phone is showing, vs what the 3rd party dialer is showing (DialApp). If somebody can post screenshots to show that their Z2 stock dialer can really show "Daniel" when they type "326435", I would be really surprised that this feature works differently.
1. First screenshot shows the stock dialer highlighting only the numbers which match 326 as I type.
2. 2nd screenshot shows that no contacts were found after typing 326435
3. 3rd screenshot shows that Daniel was highlighted when I typed 326435 using the 3rd party dialer
Working perfectly...i can find my contacts name dialing their corresponding letters,,,not a single problem
Try force stopping/disabling then reenabling it?

My Z2 is D6503 and it Daniel comes out fine. Daniel seems like such a common name.
I noticed from your 2nd screen shot, there's a space after 4 digits and then followed with the other 2 ie 3264 35 Could that be the reason.
When I type 6 numbers, they are grouped as one and not split into 2 like in your picture.
Does other more than 4 numbers also get split?

SMS not sent in Nougat ROMS

I got a weird problem in my device 3/32GB.
No matter whatever nougat ROM I install, I am not able to send or receive SMS.
MIUI and Oreo ROMS are working fine
Tried flashing different firmwares with no luck
Any help from anyone would be appreciated
Add your number in SMS settings
On SMS settings, there is a option that must say "phone number". For me, it work put my number with the country code (like in whatsapp +1). Install Google messages too.

I've got a small feeling that this has something to do with your carrier. That's just pure speculation, however.
