Hi,
I have a Samsung Galaxy Mini2 with Android 2.3.6 (Gingerbread). I don't like how call log appears.
If you call someone by 5 times, the name of the contact/number will appear by 5 time in the call log.The same with missed calls.I want to appears only one date. Example: To show "Contact name/phone number" (5) and when click on the contact name to show the detailed information.
Exist an application/update for android that will improve the call log in this way?
Thank you!
Galaxy Mini already has a separate section!

(This is for non-cyanogen roms) This is about shortcut for dialer tab under phone application -
Its annoying sometimes the default behavior of 'Phone' icon. It will launch the call log always and what I have observed that the call log takes much time to open. SO in situations like you are taking a phone number, you will launch phone application then you have to wait for some time till call log opens and then go to dialer tab to type a number...(meanwhile friends will laugh at you for the speed). LauncherPro has the shortcut for direct dial but we may not always use LauncherPro. Well, for all users facing similar problem, here is solution -
Create a temp contact with some minimum number. ex. you can create a contact named 'dummy' and number as 0 or +91 which is applicable for every number you dial in india. Install DesktopVisualizer. then create its widget(1x1) and ask it to launch shortcut of type 'direct dial', select above created contact as target. Now, DesktopVisualizer has a limitation that from a wodget, it can not directly dial a contact instead it will launch dialer tab with that number typed in there. We can use this limitation to solve our purpose. Check check box that says launch dial pad blah blah. and done. this widget click will launch dialer tab for you. the number we gave is 0 or +91, so it dose not affect dialing any number ahead.

Hello, thank you very much about the info. I just came to know that DesktopVisualizer is the one preventing me from direct dialing out from the the directdial shortcut widget.
My question might not be relavent to this topic but could you please give advise on how to get rid of the desktop visualizer and allow me to use direct dial again.
I have tried using DialerOne app and it gives the same result, redirecting me to stock dialpad with number... i wish i can dial it out right away.
Thank you very much in advance for your help.
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.
Hi,
I have searched extensively on google but couldn't find an answer, so posting question here in case if someone has figured it out.
Let's say I have a contact ABC with phone number 1234 and I use WAIT feature while saving number. so number in cm10.1 is something like 1234;56789 (where ; = WAIT).
When I dial the contact it dials correctly, gives me the number to send correctly. Issue I have is that, in the call log it only shows 1234 as a totally new number and doesn't show up as the contact name at all.
I have read that it is a issue with CM10.1 & aosp dialers (somewhere in contacts.apk) what I did like to know is how to fix it (not using an app).
Would appreciate any advice/guidance on it.
Thanks
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.
Hi
I am looking for some android app that can log notes (typed by user) for each call I send or receive, and then I can search in log with date and time, note text or with contact name
for example, when I receive a call from John I enter "project 1 progress ...." for this call note in that app
and for next call from John I enter "paycheck" as note
after that it must be some searching form for the whole notes by enter john as contact name and both call logs above must be in results
or when I search project in note texts, then first John's call must be in results
Sorry for my bad English
Best regards.
anybody help
Maybe you can have a developer make such an app for your purpose.
any other suggestion?
