Is there a modified contacts apk or is it possible to make one to have the option to show all calls in the logs tab instead of calls and text? I don't quite understand why sammy made an option for dialed, recieved, and missed calls but doesn't have an option for all of them combined. I am stock rooted and want to keep it that way(for now) and don't want to download a different style contacts app. So wondering if this is possible or is already available. Thanks
I was also wondering about this. Half the time I get confused as to why so and so called me instead of texting like usual.

Does anybody know how to turn off SMS threated mode (conversation) and make it normal like in outlook (just classic view - sorting according to date)? I had android 1.5, than tried 2.2 and 2.1 but i didnt found any option for this. Thanks for help...
Moved to Q&A as not development
Why would you want to go back to the old way? It was clearly worse. One of the greatest change I had from upgrading to a Hero was the conversation mode - just incredible. Why would you want to go back to a situation where you can't see the message you're replying to?
On topic - have you tried Handcent SMS and checked the options? That app is amazing.

thats because its sorted according to date like in Outlook. icould never use outlook with conversation mode in my work becouse it seems to me very chaotic. You only see name and number of sms, so you have to click on contact. Dont know why developers dont give us at least possibility to turn it off. i think its just a matter of small tweak or st....
The individual threads are still sorted by date though. So you still know the latest texts over the older ones, i.e. higher the contacts name the newer the text. You don't have to even look at the older texts as they're hidden in the conversation lists but available if necessary.
As I said Handcent is the most likely program to have this feature.
It's unlikely to be a "small" tweak as it requires splitting your conversations into Inbox & Outbox as well as then having multiple messages for each contact. This is a complete overhaul of the way in which it currently sorts, sends and receives messages.

Hey
I just moved from WinMo to Android (Omnia i900 modded). The stock call logger shows all the calls and the messages in it. I want to do 2 things:
1. Clear messages from the call log. - Other threads suggest going to Phone/Contacts/History and then setting to show only the calls, but that is not practical for 1000+ contacts if you're doing that one by one. Another option mentioned is to set to "View By" which is absolutely useless.
2. How to stack/group all the calls made to the same contact together (be it calls to home/work/mobile etc.) - something that was being done in WinMo (up to WinMo 6.5)
Any suggestions people.
I like the stock dialer app, so not much interested in switching to an alternate (except as a last option). Thanks in advance

The only solution i have for you right now is, use another mess app and freeze the samsung mess app
Thanks for the reply. But is there not a mod that is available from a developer which could solve this issue. I believe that this is an issue with Gingerbread nd a lot of people must be having the same complain.
Otherwise, any suggestions on an alternate dialer / sms client which would be the PERFECT alternate for the stock dialer?

This is a custom Samsung call log that does this. The stock gingerbread call log does not show texts with calls, and it also groups calls from same person together in a sub expandable list.
The Samsung call log just stinks is the problem. If only you could load the stock version.

Any idea how to get hold of the stock Gingerbread call log app. Any apk available for that?
I have been using "SMS popup" on my android phones for years now. Never had a problem until I installed it on this new Rezound. The SMS popup comes up when a new text comes in, it just doesnt pull up the person's profile photo as it's supposed to. It's got to be an HTC/Sense issue. I've used SMS popup on AOSP, Samsung Touchwiz, and Team Hacksung's ICS port for the Galaxy S; all of which funtioned properly.
I know I can get handcent but I really like the way this HTC messaging app looks (and its ad-free, unlike handcent). And SMS popup is such a simple way to accomplish the popup on incoming texts and still allow me to use the manufacturer's messaging app.
Has anybody else run into this problem or have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Do you have your contacts linked? Maybe it doesn't know which one to grab...
Alternatively go with Go SMS which is free and does pop up.

Some contacts are linked, some arent. Either way, neither contact photos shows up.
The way my contacts are set up is, I have a google gmail contacts. None of those have any photos in them. Then I also let facebook sync my friends list to my contact list. Some facebook friends also have a google gmail contact equivalent. Those are the ones that are linked.
This is the same way I've always done my contacts on all my other android phones and it's never been a problem. This HTC phone is the first time I've ran across this problem. It's like the SMS popup is calling for a contact photo, but the HTC version of the contact app is calling it by a different name.
Weird, SMS popup works just fine for me pulling up the contact pic using sense etc (innefilibis ROM if that matters)
By the way, I used Handcent for years (with the ads blocked) but this is the first phone I like the stock SMS so much (with red theme bubbles) I didn't even bother installing it.
So, I used to use Handcent for all my SMS, MMS messages until recently. Too many bugs on updates and it just isn't reliable. Unfortunately Handcent had some good features I can't seem to get working (or even if they are possible) on the the stock HTC app. First is custom notifications for texts. Handcent you could select a different tone for each person you sent/received messages from. Very convenient to know if my phone was in the other room if it was my wife, or just a nitwit friend. The other option is a mark letting me know the other person (if they are a VZW customer) received the message or not. You can select an option to notify you but I don't need a second notification sound telling me the other person got it. The check mark is enough, but I can't get it to work without the extra sound. When handcent was installed, I got the notification of a check mark in the stock app without the sound, but the second Handcent was deleted it no longer worked.
I'm sure there is a setting I'm missing or something. If the phone is not capable of this, is there another app anyone recommends? It really sucks that Handcent has gone downhill.

AFAIK the stock app is very limited. Have you tried gosms? they offer everything that handcent has + more.
Hey man, thanks. Go SMS is similar with all the features I'm looking for. Thanks.
I had the same problems with Hanscent. Really liked it for a long time. Finally tried a different app for SMS. Take a look at CHOMP. I think it does all the stuff you need. I like it a lot.
I moved from Samsung Galaxy S2 to S3 with a later Android version (4.3), and there are just a couple of things that are driving me crazy as far as the stock contacts and sms apps are concerned.
Before I decide to move to other apps (which I don't really want to do as I've been pretty glad about the stock apps so far):
How to change the generic picture for contacts?
I liked the earlier format with simple silhouettes in different colours and I totally hate the new creepy-looking faces with a smile, eyes, nose etc. (sorry, I am not allowed to post outside links yet, which is why I had to remove all the sample links from this question and the following ones, which may make my questions a little more difficult to understand).
How to remove the contact pictures besides the text messages?
Before, the text messages were displayed with text bubbles only.
Now there are little annoying contact pictures next to the messages. I've found a couple of threads about it on the Internet but no real solutions, unfortunately.
And this one has been bugging me since Galaxy S2:
How to hide all those contacts that include no phone number (i.e. those imported from my Google account)?
I am able to hide the contact in the normal view (if I simply scroll down the list, only phone contacts are displayed) but whenever I use the in-app search option, the e-mail contacts appear, too, which is pretty annoying (I use the search to find someone I want to call, not if I want to write an e-mail).
Anyone, anything? I know these aren't exactly the most interesting or serious problems, and they're rather Android- than phone-related... but I've spent a lot of time researching this and I've found no solution whatsoever (besides using other apps).

Hi! Changing default generic picture is not possible without root at least(i think it might be best to use a custom rom maybe), removing the picture next to each sms is linked with the contact list so you should try other sms apps from playstore for that and hiding contact with no number in contact list is impossible - try to make a group with the ones that have number and one group with the ones that don't have numbers or remove the email only contact from google contact list(on gmail). Hope i gave you some directions Cheers!
