call history / logs - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi
I've got the samsung s3 4g version but I believe the normal S3 has the same issue. When I go into the call history it shows calls from everyone over the last 30 days or something which is good, but when you click on an individual number it only shows you the history for that specific day.
I used to have a S1 and on that if you clicked a number it would show you the history (calls/sms) for the entire history duration, so you could see you spoke to that person a 3 days and a week ago for e.g.
Is there anyway to get the S3 to do that... ? it seems silly if they took that feature out of the S3 ?
I was looking on google and someone said to get "mr number" I tried that, but that seemed to make it worse and not show me any history (just a list of all the ppl who i spoke to)
If anyone knows howto get the history/logging to do what I need that would be great.
thanks

surely someone else is having the same issue ?

I've got the same problem.
Before I9300 I had Touch HD where I used an Address Book app. There I could click on any number in call history and get the entire history of calls and sms from that contact or number.
But on SGS3 I can only get the history/logs of calls for the contacts that I've written to my contacts: logs(call hystory) - long tap on contact - open contact- menu soft button on the bottom left - journal.
But I've got a lot of calls that are not in my contacts and I don't want to save them and I need to see if that number allready called me.
How can I find it out?
Thanks in advance.

Texting to short numbers not working

I'm not sure if this is a Touch Pro specific problem or something with Windows Mobile, or maybe its just my phone (Sprint Touch Pro w/stock ROM). Either way I cannot text to short numbers. What I mean by short numbers is the 5-6 digit numbers that you can text to for contests, info, etc. An example would be texting GOOGLE (466459) or CHA CHA (242242). My local radio has text to win contests every hour where you text to a short number also. My problem is that whenever I send a text I get no reply. By texting CHA CHA they usually text back to tell you they are working on it. Also, texting my radio station gives a send back message also. I never get these anymore and I've never gotten a reply from texting these numbers when I used to before. The messages I send show up in my sent box, but they seem to not really send. I've searched online and this forum but I don't quite know what to search for. Anyone else have this problem or know how to solve it? Any help is much appreciated. Thanks
Google's txt number is 466453, not 466459. Give that a try.

Oops. That's just a typo on my part for the thread. I'm sending the text to the correct number from my phone. This is for any shortened texting number such as TV polls/contests/etc. I can't get this to work at all. Anyone else having similar problems??
help anyone?

[Q] Gingerbread Contacts In TM Issue

I apologize if this issue is somewhere in this forum. I've been searching for the better part of an hour and I haven't found anything close, to the issue that I'm having.
Problem: when I send a text message to multiple contacts, for some reason, all of the phone numbers for people in the list, show up as part of the phone number, for the last person on the list from that point forward. For example, suppose that I send a tm to Joe, Mary and Sam. Their phone numbers are 222-222-2222, 333-333-3333 and 999-999-9999, respectively. When I get a reply from Sam (who's the last person on my list of recipients), the msg shows up as being from "222-222-2222;333-333-3333;+1999-999-9999". Note that the +1 has been added only to the last number.
The first time that this happened, I had to delete the contact record for the last person on the list (Sam in this example), turn off the device, restart and manually enter a new contact record. Now that process doesn't work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
bump to the top in hopes that someone has an idea as to what's doing this.

[Q] Make a phone call from an email ?

hi,
There is a basic function that I use on my iPhone or my Lumia is launching a phone call just by clicking on any phone number included in an email.
(all phone numbers appears as a link, you click on it, it launches the phone app, and the phone is ready to call with the pre-filled phone number)
I use this function many times a day.
With my Galaxy S3 (GT-9300i in Android 4.1.1 MIUI 3.4.19), the phone numbers in my emails are not recognized as a link, but as text. So i must select the phone number, do a copy, open the phone app and paste the phone number ... a little bit impractical.
have you got a solution ?
this function will be included in future MIUI releases ?
EDIT:
I GOT IT !!
All works fine with MailDroid. All phone numbers are written as clickable links that launch the Phone App.

Dialer that shows company/organization on incoming call

Hello,
I have some many Bob's & Franks etc in my phone book when they call i have no idea who it is, is there a dialer app that displays the company info?
Each of my contacts have the company info saved in their google contact info, i just need it to display on the incoming call screen.
THank you,
Bump
Did you ever find one? I'd love to find something that will work without trying 20 different products and getting malware...
I have the same issue...
Same issue
I know it may seem like a pain but for myself I almost never know the last name of anyone so when I store contacts it's usually "Bob NAPA Rep" or "Frank OCC" but you could leave their last names and just add initials or titles on the same line to have it displayed when they call. Doing this on your phone would take forever too so you could log into your Google account and do it from a laptop or pc and it would be much easier and faster.

Well aren't you in luck if you check this sooner than before. Looking thru Android Central forms there's an app mentioned called Call Notes Pro. There's a free version but you have to get the pro version to get three feature you want but if you go today it's half price. $1.49. the sale ends tomorrow. It's rated 4.9 stars which is unheard of. Best of luck.

I use "Smart Notify - Dialer, SMS & Notifications" by Milan Vyšata
There is a free version which is very good (although I'd encourage you to support the developer).
It seems this app also work great as both dialer and show company info.

this does make my help so easier...... I fail to understand why google can't have this company name feature in the incoming Call Screen.

Trying to understand . Business messages /google play services/ different device.

1: ) When contacting a business via phone I seen a voice to text service. Not sure where that was coming from. Never figured that out except it looked like visual voice mail? IDK, says transcript on the phone log. Some of them don't have it.
2 When my wife contacted a business yesterday I received a script on my phone while she was in text or a call. Unsure , We have each others google accounts on each others phones. Easier for apps, calendar etc. She is on a different network, so not sure why a text or a voice chat would come across .
When clicking on the program used it says google play services.
3 Some company left me a voice mail last week and I seen a notification and cleared it, now I cannot find where it was at or location it was. My regular voice mail with ATT is working , but some voice mail goes to Youmail if not a business . This one in particular wasn't sent to either one. Just the notification and gone.
Looked like a similar format of the voice transcript.
I contacted ATT ( They have no clue)
Asked in discord , some help but nothing explaining what it is.(Thank you for the one who helped some)
Asked on Google community help ( no answer ).
And yes I give it time, few days , week etc.
Here is a screen shot of the text or voice that my wife did that started coming across my phone for some reason. If I close it out I have no idea where to find the transcript?
Google pixel 6 pro rooted.
Help for figuring out this "feature" would be appreciated.
