does anyone know if there is a way to bypass the "send the following tones?" dialog when dialing? i.e. I have programmed a number that includes a wait, then an extension. i don't want to have to take the phone away from my ear to look down and press "ok", i just want it to automatically send the extension number after the wait (much like my ancient nokia TDMA phone used to do, LOL).
thanks.

I have the current facebook app on my touch pro and works perfect....But when i go to my fb setting on my home computer and try to set it up to be able to get updates on my cell phone It asked for my carrier and send a text to a certain number........and wait for a code, i never get the reply text back
any help ?
Are you having trouble with the app on your phone? You may have to push the refresh button when you start up the app to update your wall.
The link that I found on FB appears to point your phone to download the app, which you already have.
I'm not sure if that helps or not, but good luck.
thanks for your reply....
the trouble im having is.....when your on FB, you can add your phone so when somebody reply's to your message or adds something to your wall, bla bla bla, You will get a text update on your phone....
on FB is asks...select country and carrier, then Using your mobile phone, send a text message containing only the letter "f" (without quotes) to 32665 (FBOOK).*
but it doesn't matter what carrier you chose its still tells you to text message containing only the letter "f" (without quotes) to 32665 (FBOOK).
and i never get a reply from the text
If I manually enter a phone number, or get a call from a number not in my conacts list and select Add to Contacts... nothing happens. I'd expect that a space for the name would pop up, as it did in my other phones. It seems that it just adds the number with no name attached.
What am I missing?

Your sig says you run Bionix V. So do I. I can say with confidence when I manually enter a phone number in the dialer and hit "Add To Contacts", that the Contacts list comes up. You can then select an existing contact from the scroll to assign this number to, or hit the big PLUS sign beside the search dialog box to add a new contact.
If this isn't what yours shows, then it's safe to say something is amiss with your Bionix V install. Best of luck.
Ahhh! I think I missed the plus sign thing. Thank you.
(This is for non-cyanogen roms) This is about shortcut for dialer tab under phone application -
Its annoying sometimes the default behavior of 'Phone' icon. It will launch the call log always and what I have observed that the call log takes much time to open. SO in situations like you are taking a phone number, you will launch phone application then you have to wait for some time till call log opens and then go to dialer tab to type a number...(meanwhile friends will laugh at you for the speed). LauncherPro has the shortcut for direct dial but we may not always use LauncherPro. Well, for all users facing similar problem, here is solution -
Create a temp contact with some minimum number. ex. you can create a contact named 'dummy' and number as 0 or +91 which is applicable for every number you dial in india. Install DesktopVisualizer. then create its widget(1x1) and ask it to launch shortcut of type 'direct dial', select above created contact as target. Now, DesktopVisualizer has a limitation that from a wodget, it can not directly dial a contact instead it will launch dialer tab with that number typed in there. We can use this limitation to solve our purpose. Check check box that says launch dial pad blah blah. and done. this widget click will launch dialer tab for you. the number we gave is 0 or +91, so it dose not affect dialing any number ahead.

Hello, thank you very much about the info. I just came to know that DesktopVisualizer is the one preventing me from direct dialing out from the the directdial shortcut widget.
My question might not be relavent to this topic but could you please give advise on how to get rid of the desktop visualizer and allow me to use direct dial again.
I have tried using DialerOne app and it gives the same result, redirecting me to stock dialpad with number... i wish i can dial it out right away.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
Hi,
There's something I'd like to do on my samsung galaxy note that I was able to do on my Symbian-based device in the past, but I can't figure out how to do it under Android.
I'd like to save multiple SMS drafts per recipient. However, my Galaxy note 2 only seems to permit me to save one SMS draft per recipient, with each subsequent draft overwriting the previous draft for that same recipient.
Here's why I'd like to have this capability:
If I want to type a long SMS to someone (more than 160 characters), what I like to do is split the message at logical places such as after commas, sentence endings, etc. I would do this by getting close to the end of a given SMS message and then stopping it at the point that I choose, saving it as a draft, and then continuing my text in a new SMS starting at the beginning of the next sentence, phrase, etc. Then, once the set of drafts is completed, I will first proofread and make corrections in the entire group of drafts, and only then will I manually send them off, one after the other.
Yes, I know I can type a long message and the SMS app will automatically split it into pieces after 160 characters, but that often splits words or breaks sentences and phrases in places that I don't want them broken.
Here's how I try to accomplish this on my G1:
Invoke the Messaging app.
Select New Message.
Select recipient.
Compose first SMS.
Select the Back key (draft 1 gets saved).
Select New Message.
Select same recipient as before.
Compose second SMS.
Select the Back key (draft 2 gets saved).
However, at this point, draft 1 has been overwritten by draft 2. In other words, only draft 2 remains.
Can anyone think of a way for me to accomplish what I want (or at least something similar) on my samsung galaxy note 2?
Thanks in advance.
no one ??
This isn't possible in the stock messaging app. You can use GO SMS Pro or Handcent SMS, which allow you to create folders and save messages in them just like in Symbian. So you can save parts of the long message in a folder and send them one by one. I like to use the stock messaging app in my devices though, so the way I do this is to type out the message till the limit, copy it and paste it in a note taking app, then copy it back to the messaging app when I need to send it. In ICS and JellyBean, when you select a bunch of text to copy, you get a share button to directly share it by SMS and other stuff. So it's very easy and doesn't involve copy-pasting twice. I just select, share, done. I find this to take the same number of steps and be just as easy as saving to a folder and sending. If you must do it that way, then one of the above apps should be right for you.
I regularly send long messages, sometimes even 10-15 messages long if I'm copy-pasting some stuff from the internet to someone, but I've never experienced your problem or messages breaking up and missing content. They just reach the recipient as one big message. Although, this behaviour is dependent on the mobile network provider, so I can't speak for yours. But I have never seen this happen with any GSM provider I'm my country. I'm guessing yours must be CDMA?

Could you please tell me which note taking app you use with ics thank you in advance. Tom
This is merely a work-around for how to work on multiple drafts to a recipient. First add your name and mobile device phone # to your Contacts List. Refine your first draft as thoroughly as possible. Then address that message to your own mobile device phone #, and send it. You'll see that message twice, as both your "Sent" & your "Received" message. Your first draft is "parked" in your mobile device's phone #. Now you can work on your next draft, as you would normally. If you decide to send your first draft to the recipient, just forward it from your mobile device's inbox!
Lately, I've been noodling how I can improve Samsung's Send SOS ("Send help" on the S5) feature using Tasker.
Some background: Since the S5 and perhaps earlier, the Galaxy line has a built-in Safety Assistance feature. When switched on it can be triggered by pressing the power button three times quickly. The phone then switches on high accuracy GPS and creates two texts ("SOS!" and "I need help") with this location data. It also records a 5-second audio clip and takes a photo using each the front-facing and rear camera. These five texts are sent to pre-designated contacts (up to four).
Whether hurt in an accident or facing a bad outcome with a criminal or a cop with an attitude, this feature could is useful. Still, I'd like to enhance it:
- a more actionable "help" message, e.g., Google street address approximation or key instruction;
- a longer recording that is shared and backed up to the cloud.
This looks like it should be easy for Tasker to handle. I created a profile triggered by a notification that help messages are being sent. After the initial text, I used the Recordr app, which has a Tasker plugin to record, then stop after two minutes. (I don't reverse this order because I don't wish to delay the instructional message. Who knows what can happen if I wait?)
It saves the recording in a file with a 15-character name based upon date and time, e.g.., DATE_TIME.aac.
Haven't tried Tasker's record media
A1: Send SMS Number xxxxxxxxxx Message: Avenge me!
A2: Recordr Configuration Record
A3: Wait 2 minutes
A4: Recordr Configuration Stop
My messaging app, Message+ (no judgements, please), automatically sends in Group messaging mode, which allows potential coordination by my "saviors." Sadly, some services may not respond as I'd like. Google Voice and Metro PCS recipients do not use Group mode. Short of having everyone switch messengers -- a very personal and unlikely option -- the only solution I can think of is to warn everyone that some people may not receive or respond in Group mode.
Another issue: Not knowing the file name, I'm unsure how to go about sharing the longer recording. I'm leaning to not having to know the name and using AutoShare or AutoInput to get this done. Also: Any thoughts on what's long enough? A crime is probably less than a minute, an accident needs little time like location info, and a traffic stop can take a while unless things go south quickly.)
My questions:
1. How can I retrieve and send this recording to a contact or point to a link online?
2. How long a recording do you recommend?
3. Any other ideas on what to add?
4. Rather than wait for the Send notification, which waits until after the location has been determined, is there a way to trigger off the initial button presses?
