[Q] Storing and Displaying Phone Numbers Without Spaces - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

>
I have Nexus 4 and ever since I bought it, it saves all phone numbers with spaces between the digits (like +44 555 555 5555 etc.)
Does anyone know how to have these numbers with no spaces in between? I tried changing the language to English US, English UK and English Autsralia... etc. but no luck with that!!
It really bothers me as well as so many people out there as I found many people complaining about the same issue:

Nope
I think this is the default feature in Android. You will not be able to change it... better you get used to it.

Why are you making it an issue .. ?? ... There is no problem in having spaces in Phone numbers .. it increases readability ...

No.. Whenever I copy the phone numbers to paste them on any other applications, I have to go back and delete those spaces (bcuz these applications won't work with the spaces in between).

Oh .. Ok ... Try a Third-party contacts app ... perhaps it could work out for you .. There are many available on the play store ..

Thanks a lot for your help. I tried a similar application before. The problem is that I have to run these type of applications whenever I enter new phone numbers. There should be a way to eliminate this feature by Android itself which works perfectly in some countries but not all countries.

Default Keyboard during Phone Usage?

All,
Can anyone provide me the tweak or registry key to allow for me to continue typing on the thumb board while on a phone call? (Presently while talking, the system defaults to the number pad while talking)
Any help would be appreciated. I have seen a couple threads about changing the default keyboard config, but not for this one directly.
Thanks,
Bob

what rom r u using
Using AP4, had the same issue with AP 3.0 as well. I assume that they would be different registry keys, but any help would be appreciated...

Interesting, so when you are in a call and you type an SMS or email at the same time, the "Y U I H J K B M N ." keys don't type numbers in their place? I would love to have the letters instead of only numbers. The numbers are a help in 2% of the cases, but for the most part, I want to type notes about phone calls and without having the thumb board working, I am stuck with the touchscreen and it is much slower for me.
Either way, I appreaciate your help

i just tested to confirm and yes that is correct. i was on a call and i hit notes and started typing and it types letters not numbers. i am looking at the reg files now
i used windiff to see if i could find a difference but there were sooooo many i could not find it sorry.
Thank you
Does anyone else have any ideas on how to set the keyboard mode while talking on the phone?
Thanks,

I'm using original spanish ROM WM6 and I have the same problem.
Me too
Let's bump this thread up the date sort:
AP 3.0, still. I can't get letters with the kbd at all when in a call, so I end up using an on-screen, or translating whatever I typed after the call. It sucks. I thought the active prg would dictate what happens with the keys. ???
I must admit the convenience of the automatic switch when in the phone app is nice.
I'm not getting why some units do this and some don't, or if it might be that people aren't using thier keyboards during a call in a different app.
Reg key? Any better ideas?

On screen keyboard or hardware keyboard? On screen works fine, hardware not since WM6.
its important to me, i would love to type using thumb keyboard while talking, i can confirm that vanilla version of 6.1 does that too but its a beta rom and i like AP4, maybe the athena project people can inlight us about this matter and creat a patch for us to use
for importancy am trying to keep this up, guys its doable, someone is required to just lead us, at least someone post me a clean (hard reseted) registery from a rom that works during call normally, and i will install it on my mobile (which doesn't type letters during call) if it works then at leaset we know its defenatly registry and there for i dedicate my life for it. any clean registry anyone can supply
PS am willing to Hard reset but not willing to reflash another rom am very tried from that business

If this drives you that nuts, then maybe you wouldn't mind doing a bit of investigation and sharing that with us?
Take a look at this registry key: HKLM\Software\HTC\SmartDialing\KeyboardMapping
There are some subkeys there, ToNum and ToSD. I'm guessing that those are responsible for the letter remapping. Would you mind taking a look and letting us know? Thanks!
Dialer/Dialer skine deppendent
It also could be that it is deppendent on dialer used in your system. Some dialers can switch keybaord to numbers and some can not. It would be nice if those who can write letters during a call could tell us which dialer is in their system.
Possible Path?
HKLM\Security\Phone\PhoneKeyMatch
Looks like this could be the ticket, will try to mess around with it and see if it makes any difference

it didn't work for me

AOSP SMS/MMS Thread Error

Hi Everyone
This is a semi-fix for the SMS/MMS threading problem.
My setup : S3 i9305T
Rom: Pandoriam
Launcher: Nova Launcher
AOSP Messaging theme
I tried the other suggested solutions of putting in the country code for the number but that didn't work for me. I put in spaces but that didn't work either.
Solution - 1: What I found worked for me was to start the message thread. It seems that if I'm not the one that starts the thread, then when the person replied it goes to it's own thread.
Solution - 2: An issue occured where a friend of mine messaged me. I deleted the thread and then replied. When he replied it started a new thread again. I deleted the thread, deleted the contact, re-created the contact and then started a new thread. That fixed the problem.
The problem is still on going for MMS. But at least it's a partial fix =)
Hope this helps someone somewhere, merry christmas!

Hi guys,
I just thought I should bring a little "fix list" for the messaging threading issue. I seem to be having more trouble than anyone, so then I got a couple of tricks that seem to work
If you have troubles with threads splitting (multiple threads per contact), try the following in this order:
1. Download Number Fixer from Play Store and add country code to all numbers. Yes, all. Try with +xx (e.g. +44) first. Then open your Gmail and enter contacts page, remove ALL spaces.
2. If the above doesn't work, try changing country code to 00xx (e.g. 0044). And remove spaces.
3. If even that doesn't work for one or all contacts, try deleting country code for that contact.
4. As a last try, add country code 00xx and delete all messages. Then be a good friend - send your friend a message! BUT - in the recipient field, type the entire number (with country code) and DON'T select your friends name when it pops up (keep typing full number). Send the message and hopefully the reply threads as it is supposed to.
Right now I think I actually use all four solutions on different contacts Some work one way, some the other. But luckily I'm not the one that care about keeping my messages

Wow...what an interesting response for my first post.
Sorry longice but I won't be giving you any credits or thanks as I didn't find your fix that you posted 3 weeks ago. If I had I would have but I didn't so I won't.
If I ever post something again I'll have to make sure I scour the threads to make sure I don't get blamed for plagiarism......and here I was thinking that the main thing was to offer help to others....

I don't think that this behaviour can be changed in the stock application.
And just asking, what problem do you face with these spaces?

Sooo... from what i see in your screen shots, i understand that the names in your contacts list does no appear in your messages ?
Try this: go to your contact list an modify your contact number with +4 or whatever is UK prefix.
Like this:
04.555.555.etc becomes +404.55.55.etc
