Hi,
Upgraded to the S3 from a Desire HD, after their shocking decision to drop ICS.
One quick question, on the HTC you touch a contact and it starts dialing. On the S3 it opens the contact and you have to click dial again... This throws me every time!
It there anyway to change this behaviour? I want to be able to just touch the contact either in the contacts list or call logs and the phone to start dialing and not open the contact.
I using stock ICS...
Thanks,
Kiz
set up a few favourites in contacts then open fav tab in contacts I'm sure there's a way to always open favourites instead of contacts tab. anyway then you will see phone icon next to their name one click call.
workaround but ye

swipe your thumb from right to left on the contact (in phone book and log) to text or left to right to call him/her.

It's like that for a reason. One thing that throws me about Sense is that it's always wanting to dial someone. What if I want other options??
But, like the poster above said. Swipe right to dial or left to message contact.

You're absolutely right. When using HTC phone, I always accidentally click a contact while scrolling the list of contacts and it start calling the person. Very annoying. This will never happen in Samsung phones

Great, thanks guys.
I've had sense phones now for 3 years, so got used to it! For other options it's a long press.
Honestly, they had me with brand loyality and would've gone for the One X if they didn't drop ICS for DHD.
But, I'm liking the S3 and I live with the swiping!
Cheers,

I have about roughly 30 contacts in my phone (mobile numbers) and whenever i go to send a text, (press the messages app, then the plus sign) i normally type my contacts via keyboard and id get suggestions as a dropdownon my old phone (Galaxy S 4G). however I cant on this. Id have to press the "+" sign in order to access my contacts. is there a way that i can just type in my contacts in the "To:" area in messaging? I dont think this is related to the software setup, i just think its how the phone was made or something like that.
I use handscent and it does that

Your problem reminds me of another one that just recently showed up.
I used to be able to just type "mom' and get my mom's number to show for messaging even though I have her saved as *mom.
Now I have to type the *and then mom to get her to show up.
I didn't have to do this before and I think it has something to do with my Tmobile Contacts Backup syncing.
Before it synced I could just type m-o-m.
Anyway. Sorry I was of no help I was just trying to complain too. Lol.

But ithe requested is working as default setup..
That's odd because my stock app has the dropdown that shows names and numbers as I type. I have handcent installed also, which is what I mainly use.
It works perfectly fine for me. I go on the messages app, click the "pencil" on the top-right corner, write a name in the to box and it gives me suggestions. Are you running the stock rom?

I know when you're managing people (groups and favorites) you will not see any contacts that are stored on the SIM.
Probably a stupid question, but how do I edit the declined call text messages? Where it sends them a text if I decline the call. I'm using Viper 1.2.1
Second that. Under "Phone settings", "Other settings", "Decline calls" is checked, but there's no way to edit the text (and when I decline a call or simply don't answer, I don't see the option to send a text either.
Has HTC done away with this?

I know I can make my on text, but usually im driving. I'd rather just have a pre-made one that I can select. Or even better, just one that is default to my liking for my job.
Still on stock, and the option to send the text is definitely there (after i decline the call), but i can't figure out how to change the defaults either.
In settings under call, i only have the option to decline calls with text, but nothing else about it. I'll keep digging.

It's easy on Android 4.0, yeah. Wait until our AOSP ROMs to drop, then we can.
Stupid that HTC destroyed so much of ICS.

I suppose this is where I complain about devs taking their sweet time to provide me a free service right? lol
Somewhere there is a file with those four or five pre made text replies. If we can find it, I suppose we could edit it.

Took me a while to figure this out. Hope it helps!
To add or edit a Quick Text, you will want to go into the messages application. Then select an existing message thread and act as though you are going to send a message. Make sure you tap the 'Add text' box and bring up the keyboard. Then hit Menu at the top and select Quick Text. Then hit menu again and then you can add/edit/delete a Quick Text. You can then set up a canned message to use.
New Android user here......coming from iPhones in the past. Been playing with the S3 for nearly a week now and so far have no regrets at all.
My question right now is about the GO SMS Pro text messaging app. I love the way it has a pop up that shows the text message and you can quickly reply or quickly delete it. The problem I am having is when I am recording a video on the phone and a text comes through, the pop up window will stop the recording automatically. Of course, that would not be good if recording something important.
So, does anyone know of a setting or fix for this. I went through all the settings, but nothing seemed like it would be for that. I may try to email the developer to see what he/she says, but wanted to see if someone here has an answer first.
Thank you for your time.

You would have to probably turn off pop up feature while recording

If that ends up being the only way, then I will just stay on the stock app. The pop up feature is the only thing I really care about. I know I wont remember to go disable the pop up feature every time I go to record something.

How do I get my wife's GS3 on Jelly Bean to stop sending her mobile number along with all her text messages??? I have the option turned off on my phone and her's, but it won't go away?? She is the only contact I am having an issue with, anyone else run into this?
Check if you have multiple phone numbers in her contact. If you do then it'll display which number its coming from.
Otherwise this sounds like something you should post in the gs3 forum if its only her phone.

BINGO! Only store one phone number per contact and that solves the issue, thanks again!
Anyone know a good contacts and/or dialler app.
I am trying to get one that will let me "copy" a phone number easily from the call list.
Cant get an easy work around in the stock dialler/contacts app. Its a right chew on.
In my job I have to add new customers phone number that have rang me on straight to my Splanner.
Any help thx?
I think Ready Contact List is what you are looking for. Right when you hang up you get many choices including saving the number,calling again,sending a message etc.

Hi, can't copy number .That's what I am looking for sorry.
Using S Pen is not fine?
Move Spen on log number with pen swith keep pressing. You can copy directly.
Try Ex dialer.. been using it for a while

Legend! exactly what i was looking for. (Don`t suppose there is any way to do it without using the pen ie finger?)
It can but require 1 more step
Long press log -menu -send -it will be pasted to messaging field and now you can copy with finger from message field

any idea how to get a shortcut on home screen direct to my dialer instead of contacts, then dialer
Pixelphone pro is the best dialer for sure.
Love it.
So many options including copy and paste.
So nice design too
Sent from my SM-N910F using XDA Free mobile app
Truedialer by Truecaller the best for me.
Got pixel phone! It's brilliant. Love the way I can add the number to an S planner appointment...
I like the glossy teme.
But I guess you have seen all the settings.
Alter the way things shall work the best way for you.
I always go that way to send SMS.
So easy to find name or put in numbers and just hit or slide to go directly to write SMS.
So much better to find names and number.
I love the way it find contacts you have used before.
Only one or two buttons and you are there.
