[Q] How to fix Duplicate Entries in Call Log - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry, but i didnt find any solution yet neither on XDA nor on internet.
This is regarding the duplicate entries made by android system in Call Log List..
To be concise,
when i call a contact lets assume Mr. X.. after having conversation with Mr. X,
i called Mr. Y. & then have to call Mr. X again..
We can see, there will be two entries for Mr. X with different time-stamp.
this happen with every contact you call after the other. (SEE SCREENSHOT ATTACHED)
I use my call log list as TO-Call List (for following-up). i have to delete the multiple entries of every contact i call multiple times to keep the my call list clean & usable for this purpose.
My Ques is, How to fix this duplicate entries of single contact. as it use to be in Symbian (Nokia).
Please guide..

I get where you're going.... In SMS, every user has his own "thread" and whenever you get another message from him, it's collected in that "thread".
The stock phone/call log app doesn't work this way. It's more like an actual call log - the calls are written down chronologically, not by caller.
Perhaps there are 3rd party apps which can do it in the market.

Caller Display

HI,
My XDA only shows the number of who is calling and not the name. Anyone know how to fix this?
need to add to your contact list
Please... that is not an informative answer.
There is a piece of software you need to download. Unfortunately I do not have the URL, but I believe if you search this forum it has been posted before.

Martin
Thanks guys
I think xchange had given enough information. I didn't need any Software to see the callers name.
Just have to sync your XDA with your PC or add the contacs manualy to your XDA and it will be shown on calling.
If you want to see the name at incoming SMS you need a little bit of Software. It's called SMS__Name from Paragon. It can be downloaded for free. Just search the frum to find the link / Instructions....
Regards
Stefan
I agree its simple as Xchange said no need for additional software its a minor setting in the XDA.

Sorry. I misread - I thought this was about SMS

[Q] Is there a app can block calls like this...

hi guys,
i'm looking for an call blocker (i know there a maaaaannyyy of them). I already installed many of them and tried them, but no one does it, how i want to.
i'm sick of getting anonymous calls - so therefore i just want to block the anonymous calls.
important is the blocking procedure:
i don't want to just hang up the phone - because some people don't understand this. i also want to let the phone ring, when i can see a phone number - it doesn't matter, if i know the no. or not
i want to let them now, that they're been blocked, because of calling anonymous!
this could be designed in 2 ways:
1) forwarding anonymous numbers to the mailbox, so i can speak any text on the mailbox, that they're blocked cause of...
2) an app gets the call from anonymous and speaks: "you've been blocked because of..." and ends the call after speaking finished.
i'd prefer the second way, so i could also use my mailbox when my phone is turned off.
i hope u understand everything i tried to explain.
feel free to ask ;-)
regards

app called Mr. Number is free in the market. It can send calls like that to voicemail.

First make group, which group U like to send to voice mail, and whom you just want to block without voice mail
Now from your device go to - call setting - forward your call to voice mail 'when Busy' mode
Use Root call blocker
define setting, and select method of block 'reject' for one, whom U want to send to voice mail
for rest of u may select alt reject/ slow reject as per ur selection n performance on ur device.
e.g for annonymous call U can send to voice mail, b'coz no method can send SMS to private numbers
For rest you can select to auto responce with SMS
Use YouMail. They have an app in the market too.
thank you, i'll have a look for you mail...i just see that i can't download this in germany...may i'm gonna looking for an apk =)
Yep, the two best ones are made by the same company:
Root Call Blocker (for general use):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.rootcallblocker.beta
Call Master (for advanced users):
https://market.android.com/details?id=fahrbot.apps.blacklist
These are the only blockers that completely block everything without turning the screen on. Need to be rooted though.

[Q] App to Send reminders to your friend

Is there any app ( like reQALL, which isn't that user friendly) in which I can send reminders to my friend ( of course if they've installed the same app ) .
e.g: If I've to remind him to call some one at a particular time
I'm using the good old method now, Saving reminder in my mobile and calling him to check with that person
I think I 've asked this question at wrong time.
Looks like i've asked this question at the wrong time where in every one ( including me ) were closely tracking ICS instead of the forum
I'm surprised
I'm surprised to see no replies from XDA . I really thought I will get some answer
Ummm, send a text message. If you need, there are apps that allow you to type a message and have it sent at a particular time.
I'm a bit confused about why you would need an app for this? Can your friend not make a note/calendar entry/alarm for themselves?
Sent from my Evo + MIUI using Tapatalk!
Thanks for the reply Jane. Say Suppose if I want to send it to a group of people ( with Android phone and the app installed in all their mobiles), where in I set an appointment and send it to all of them , a notification pops up whether you want to update your calendar Yes/No . Clicking a Yes makes an entry in his mobile? some thing on this line.
And to answer your other question, Yes he can set a alarm /reminder as well. All the Apps are the just Ideas of making things easy isn't it?
Replying again to push my thread up , Really sorry for the spam I just want the thread to be seen by developer who knows about this .
Suggestion:
Make a Google account, let your friend(s) to sign in. Once you set reminder, everyone will get.
A yay for you?

Thanks for the replies.
I thought I will get some real answers, instead all I've got was workarounds and suggestions. thanks for that anyways.
I will Keep the thread alive for one more day and I will close it, i don't want to spam .
I think this is one kinda app which is not in existence, Developers can take this idea and they can build one if they want it

Moving from blackberry to sgs3.... need help.....

Hi all.... i have just moved from blackberry to the samsung glaxy s3....
I have a few questions regarding the contacts and the phone dialer....
1- is it somehow possible to customise the contacts view so that i can see the company name under the na.e of the contact without actually opening the contact..... this was a default thing on my blackberry n was extremely useful... i want the same to happen on android also.
2- in the phone application also i want to see the company name of the contact under the contact name.
3- i also want to see the company name in the call screen (incoming calls and outgoing calls)......
I have looked for an answer to this in these forums, google n lots of other places. I even rooted my phone to edit the contacts and the phone app, but since i have negligie knowledge of programming, was unsuccessful in that too....
Developers, can u please help me in this.....

click thanks if i helped
Thanks alot buddy.... i have looked in the market... yes there are certain apps.... but they are limited in such a way that they will display the company name only on the actual call screen, not when i am trying to find a contact... but i will look again if u say...

[Q] call forward from and to specific number

Dear All
I'm sure everybody had this already that he got calls from unwanted numbers, and they don't stop.
I usually use blacklist pro (bought version) with android 4.1.1 it doesn't work currently, probably it has something to do with pdroid, i'm using a cyanogen rom.
Anyway..
So far i'm more intrested in call forwarding instead of blocking.
I am locking for an app which can forward this annoying caller to another number, or all numbers which are not in my contact list.
so far i couldn't find an app doing exactly this what I wanted to.
(It does not matter if the forward counts on my own phone bill, because i've got flat anyway...)
so does someone know an app for this?
would this anyway technicaly be possible?

well all those so called 'Call blocking or forwarding' apps available on stores are not compatible enough to wrk efficiently with JB based roms, due to lack of upgradation of those apps from there developer's
so ICS based roms r better for ur issue, since they can support those apps

I try staying nice and calm but it's hard not getting mad..
So listen, I don't post stupid questions in a form because i'm lazy or i can't use google. In reality i've been searching such an app which exactly supports my needs for few hours, i've also tested few apps, but sadly my search was unsuccessfull.
Considering that the world is full of noobs posting sometimes unhappy,not well explained or just unintelligent posts I can partially understand your replies.. PARTIALLY!
But this is a Question and Answers forum and you do NOT have to write me "use google there are lot of apps and search the one for your needs"
If you CAN'T give a competent answer do not reply!
If you do not understand what exactly has been requested, read the topic until you do and then reply only if your answer is competent!
Now please do no more post reply on this thread you're not hitting the topic anymore and you can't help further!!
If somebody knows an App which exactly fullfills my needs, feel free to post it..
@ OP
Have you found such an app? I am also in search.

Same here @ OP
Would really appreciate a response.
The OP's outrage at being told to use Google is just as hilarious as it was almost two years ago.
I just want to be able to forward calls from specific contacts (not send to voicemail). I currently have all undesired callers automatically hung up on.
Hi frnd,
I found out a method which works perfectly for me....Hope this will be useful for u as well.
first add the particular number from which u don't want to receive calls to a call blocking list app.( i used cm security app)
second, go to your call settings, and enable 'call forward when busy' to your any other number or to which number u want the calls to forward
That's It...now if the blocked number called u, it will get hang up and automatically redirected to another number..
