[Q] contacts FC fix - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

I've been dealing with the fc for a while now, constantly clearing data on log provider in order to call someone...is there a normal fix to this (running hybrid)
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium

Also running Hybrid RC IV. None of the fixes worked for long (for me, but I'm also using a 3rd party Exchange app, Touchdown, and moving Exchange contacts to the phone, so it could be on me). I moved to EX Contacts (I think it's called... Definitely has EX in the name) and had no further issues.
Recently moved to DW Dialer for greater search granularity and more info displayed in the call log.

Messaging app

I always delete the stock messaging app and browser (among other apps), i use dolphin and gosms but I think deleting the stock message app is keeping me from receiving pictures.. Can someone please upload the apk for me

Not nativly no. SMS/MMS does not work over wifi, regardless of the source phones type...( iMessage will do this yes, but iMessage is not using SMS/MMS even though they do it from the same app. it's handleted totally diffrent, and it's only iphone to iphone, there is no option to get an imessage on an android, it's apple gear only).
I froze the legacy sms app with BT.
Then loaded gosms. No pictures would pass thru. Even after making adjustments in advanced.

I've always been scared to delete stock messaging app
Any phone speed, ram, or other benefit obtained from this?
I normally just leave it alone, and disable notifications.
You can even hide the app in the app drawer if you're using Go Launcher, other launchers may have this ability as well.

Dialer/contacts app with swipe to call functionality?

Samsung dialers used to include a function where you could slide right over a contact to call and slide left to message them. They removed this a while ago and changed to the default android behavior, so I switched to using exdialer since it retained this. Just the other day, exdialer was updated and no longer does this in the contacts (still works in the recent call list) . I've looked around a bit for another app that has this functionality, but I can't seem to find one.
Anyone know of one out there?
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Any and every Samsung TW(touchwiz) based rom has this function. Shostock, Aberration, all TW roms. Cm9,AOSP and AOKP roms DO NOT have this feature. So you need to try a TW rom, I dual boot Shostock2 and Aberration, and both have this feature.
He's talking about alternative dialer apps if I'm not mistaken. I don't use any, so unfortunately i can't help.
exDialer in the Play store. It's free and has the swipe to call/SMS functionality you're looking for.

Nope, as the op mentioned, it was removed in the latest update (or at least doesn't work correctly on JB ). The toggle is still in the settings, and it works from the call history, but swiping left or right in contacts just changes pages.

It still works in exDialer. You have to click the button in preferences to allow swiping to dial from contacts. I've just tried it and confirmed it still works. However, I don't know how it worked before as I've never used it before today, so not sure if it's a new setting previously unavailable.
Also, I'm running Task's AOKP JB. Make sure you set a # as default, too, the first time you try it for each person.

Yep, I'm an idiot. There are actually TWO toggles to enable swipe a contact to dial. The one towards the top of the list is for the dialer only, and then there is another one lower in the list for contacts.
Thanks JankAU for pushing me to figure this out - it had been a moderate annoyance. Hope this also helps out the OP.

No worries, brother. We've got bigger issues, like keeping Task around, ya know? And to be honest, I thought you were right the first time because I was swiping from history. I had to figure it out as well, so it worked out for both of us!

Delivery report sound disable

Hi all.
Have rooted my s3 with the omega rom and using go launcher. Wanted to know, after having searched xda as well as Google, how to either - disable the deliver report sound OR disable the deliver report screen wake up. Its annoying when constantly texting a conversation to have to discard the notification of every sms received.
I like the implementation of the stock ics delivery report (just adds a tick mark to the sms) but the stock ics messaging app doesn't search threads by person. Only searches the messages. (So if there's a mod for that to enable search threads by person name as well then perfect, will ditch Samsung mms/sms app in a heartbeat).
Thanks
Kunal.

Try other sms apps in play store.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
True but other apps don't replace the Samsung stock app. They just overlay it thus wasting precious resources. (As I understand it, please correct me if I'm wrong.)

Give it a try. Android quite good in handling resources. If it really cripple your phone, then just uninstalled it and find other solutions.

Have already tried Go sms or whatever the name is. Best sms I've found is the stock ics app but as stated in my 1st post, it for some reason doesn't search by threads only by messages. so if I have a thread with you, a search by your name won't yeild the thread as a result. only such messages where your name is mentioned will be shown. If there's a mod for that then that's perfect. Much better, lighter and faster app than the stock Samsung app.

Any senior member knows a hack for this? Come on I'm surprised the delivery report tone and wake screen hasn't irritated anyone else?

It has iiritated me too
I, on the other hand, prefer to use any other SMS than the stock one, but any other program will not disable the Delivery Reports.
It is very annoying that everytime you send out a message you get a "message delivered" reply, that I have to keep erasing every once in a while.
I have posted several times, in several forums, looking for an answer to this but apparently everybody enjoys knowing their messages reached their destination, as nobody seems to care.

To disable Delivery Notifications open Messages app --> Settings --> SMS Settings ---> Uncheck delivery notifications...
That disables delivery notifications. I like to know that the message is delivered. I just don't like that it sounds out like a normal sms and wakes up my screen. Just a tick on the sent message or a silent delivery report without the screen wake up is perfect. (Like in the stock ics mms app. However in the stock ics mms app one can't search for threads only for messages, while in the Samsung mms app thats possible).

This post is very old but if anyone had the same problem, just use the app "Messaging Notification". It solves the problem.
Thanks! This app is great! To recive proper funcionality I set "Silent" a ringtone in SMS app (to keep showing the SMS in notification bar) and everything else (the ringtones) I set in this app.

[Q] Integrating Google Voice and MMS app?

I managed to get Google voice to work with the MMS app with the app GV integration, but it's really hit and miss. Sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't, and it slows the device down. Is there a better way to combine GV and the MMS app? I have tried every texting app but none are as fast and simple as the stock MMS app. Any suggestions?
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
I'm also trying to get this figured out. I used the GV Integration app as well, however it doesn't work in Android 4.2.2, so it isn't an option anymore. Right now, I'm using Messaging + Google Voice, which is very similar to the stock app, however, it doesn't have that nice pop-up box like the stock one.
Well its working for me but I get no notifications in the stock sms app. I think it might be because the app is not in the actual /system/app folder. I would find out by moving it but I don't know where jackpot has the system apps installed to.
Sent from my YP-G70 using xda app-developers app
Well I found the parent app for sms and tried moving to system/app but I didn't know that everyone had this problem with 4.2.2. Right now I still use GV integration but since SMS gives no notifications, I just enable gv notifications to at least know I got a text and reply with the SMS app.
I have used that app before but the notifications and buttons in the app are horrible looking to me so I prefer not to use it.

[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
