[Q] TouchWiz Favorites Contacts as Grid -> How to set default action? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Clicking in a contact will show the contact complete profile. There´s a way to set to call the default number?

hold your finger on the number u want to be default and a menu will appear with "set as default" on it.

I already done that. My favorites haven default numbers set. In list view mode I can directly call then, but this didnt work in grid view mode.
My question is regarding the option to enable this click-and-call feature on grid view mode. Today when I click in the contact photo I´m redirected to contact page.

I was wondering about this also, my last phone did it by default and its driving me crazy that it doesn't. Any help is greatly appreciated.

[Q] [KaosFroyo] Contact Shortcuts

My wife's Droid Eris is stock 2.1.
She has specific contact shortcuts for calls and texts; ie Call Mere, Text Mere
I finally created contact shortcuts. When I touch my shortcut, I get another window with different icons for call, contact, gmail, etc.
Is there a way to create specific shortcuts to call someone without opening the second window?
Thanks
Anycut should do it.
Let me state my observation a different way.
My wife's Droid Eris with stock 2.1 has single click call or text function.
My KaosFroyo v35-1 has requires two clicks, 1st click brings up an expanded window with other options, requiring me to click on the small phone icon to place a call.
How can I create a shortcut to call a telephone number?

bring up the option to add to home screen click shortcuts and scroll down and you have options for direct dial and direct message. And from there its a single click icon to call the selected contact you have choosen for that shortcut
Ok, your reply has added one more thing on my droid do list.
Add each Widget to a screen if only to see what exactly it does.
I selected the Contact Widget not the Direct Dial Widget.
Thanks.

[Q] Missing menu option???: Can't change E-mail notification ringtone

Hi,
I'm on ROM Batista 3.5 with a very strange and annoying problem: the menu option to change the ringtone for my Gmail accounts is missing. On my HTC Desire I simply go to Gmail-Menu-More-Settings-Notification settings- Select ringtone.
On my Galaxy S2 this menu option is completely missing. I can go to Gmail-Menu-More-Settings-(pick an account)-Notification settings, but the select ringtone and all the other E-mail notification options are just not there. I'm pretty sure I had the exact same problem on ROM Litening v5.0. Google/XDA search seems to suggest I'm the only one so far facing this problem.
The E-mail notification is now set as the sms ringtone and its' driving me nuts. Does anyone know how I can change or at least kill the E-mail ringtone (and reactivate the relevant menu options in the settings menu)? Am I totally daft and missing the menu option or is something more serious going on in my ROM?
Solved!
Apparently you have to click through to "labels to notify" to get to the settings. No idea which Korean engineer came up with that one, but at least it's solved...
I don't have that ROM or that problem, but thanks for posting the solution. No doubt someone else will have the same problem.
This problem only occurs from Gmail 2.3.5 onwards, because they changed the location of the settings.
I can not find this setting anywhere either. Been hunting for 30 minutes now.
I went to labels but I don't see anything there either. Where the heck did they hide these settings?
EDIT:
Menu -> More -> Settings
Under the account settings heading, tap your email account name.
Scroll to the bottom.
Tap Labels to notify.

[Q] HTC Sense Sound Set Default Values

In the personalize menu where you can choose different sound sets, I changed some of them in the default HTC Sense set. I don't see any way to revert back to the originals.
Could someone that hasn't changed them please post the default values for the set?
For example:
Ringtone: Sense
Alarm: Pendulum
Notification:
Message:
Email:
Calendar: Daybook
Task:
I think the three above are the defaults, but I can't remember the others. Thanks so much!
Or if someone can tell me how to reset it to the default without resetting the phone, that would work, it should only take a second for someone to check the tones and fill in the blanks. Thanks XDA.
Last reply, can someone please give me the values.
Just go to Settings -> Personalize -> Sound Tab -> Sound Set -> HTC Sense and let me know the values please? Or if you know how to take a screen shot, send me that.
I'm looking for the default values for the Notification, Message, Email, etc that is blank in the op (or all of them if any listed are wrong).
Thanks again.
Took me a while to find the Sound Set - didn't notice the Sound tab at the bottom of the screen.
Here is what I have:
Notification: - I had changed this so I don't know this one - sorry
Message: Content
Email: Hint
Task: Notice

Thanks! That's what I needed.
Is this what you're looking for?
How do you change the Email one? I can't figure this out. I hold on it but it doesn't do anything. Same for Tasks and Message. Would like to change these sounds to others but can't figure it out.

Go to Settings -> Personalize -> Sound (tab on bottom right) -> Notification Sounds -> Email
I just click on that Email line, don't hold it.
Knew it was somewhere. Thanks!

I hold, click, swipe, everything but cannot change the value. I created my own sound set and cannot change those either.

[Q] Stock dialer "favorites" - how to dial by default

I like how in the stock dialer, when you select a contact, you swipe left to SMS or swipe right to call, quite slick. However, this doesnt seem to work for the favorites (as long as I use grid view i/o list view). When I tap on a favorite, it brings up the contact profile (w/ all the phone numbers, email addresses etc) instead of dialing by default; very inconvenient, esp when you're in a rush to call from the street. Am I missing a setting?
I've tried using exDialer instead; almost perfect except it doesn't clear missed call notifications (you still need to open the stock dialer to clear that) and doesn't show your call log as clearly (just one entry/contact, instead of showing all recent inbound/outbound/missed calls as distinct records). Is there any way around both of these issues?

[Q] Direct Dial shortcuts and contact photos

On my Z1 homescreen I have a couple of direct dial shortcuts and the icons are taken from the contact photo.
I have tried to set these up on my Z2 but I'm just getting default avatar icons.
Anyone know how to get contact photos associated with these shortcuts?
I must have known once but can't seem to work it out now...............ah, .the joys of old age.
(If I add a contact to the homescreen that brings the icon with it but then when you press the desktop icon you get contact details displayed, ie its not a one-touch to dial someone)
Hello,
Did you find the solution? I was hitting the same issue.
Thanks,
Robert
