I prefer the 4.3 dialer to the new 4.4 dialer in kitkat. I tried removing google dialer and replacing it with a copy of 4.3's dialer from my nandroid. It sort of worked. The dialer launches and works as you'd expect. However as soon as you press send to make a call, the dialer screen disappears. The call is placed successfully but you can't end it, see the keypad, or speaker options. The in call screen basically disappears. You can still get to call history but none of the call screen options are visible.
So I think it is close to working. Does anyone know how to fix it?
Was interested in knowing the same. Any ideas?
BUMP

Hi
I have the same issue with the stock 4.4 dialer! I can end the call by pressing the lock screen button (configured in accessibility). Any thoughts?
P. S. I have a stock 4.4.2 nexus 5
to replace dialer you need root access. Otherwise you can't make calls.
Never mind my post.
Any news ?

Ok root access is available - I would just prefer to put my dad's phone on Kitkat but he hates the new dialer. Is it possible to use the 4.3 dialer with kitkat?

I am convinced that the dialer is pooched on our phone. So I downloaded a replacement dialer from the market, but found that it cannot replace the phones dialer. I went into the dialers settings and do go for getting it to clear defaults root or not. So I am going to in list help to try and kill the phones dialer and replace it with another dialer be it one from the matrix or one from another phone, but I am really locking everything down to the dialer.
UPDATE: Not entirely convinced it is the dialer anymore.
I was downloading extra stuff for an app(game) with WIFI on. I did not send/receive txt or calls. once the download was done I turned WIFI off and noticed a few min later that 3G never picked up. Tried to make a call and the dialer sit at connecting but never dialed out. I had 4 bars for signal not 3G icon and the bars were grey. Could not end the call via end call button as the dialer seems to have locked up. hit the home button and the notification bar at the top flashed green. pull down notification bar and tried to click on the dialer and nothing just closes the note bar. go into setting/applications and tried to FC the dialer and no go it stayed open. Then FC'd dialer storage and the dialer died, then radio bars dropped totally and had an x in them with the lock screen saying "no service". airplane mode would stay a transparent blue and never actually complete. Had to reboot phone to get 3G/voice back.
So has no-one else seen this. And BTW this has been happening since day one, and on all updates including the 198_6. And no no other apps are installed when I have seen this and it happens almost 100% of the time but before I thought it was only leaving the wifi are that did it.
bump, new stuff, see OP. I am really trying to see if this is just my phone or other peoples phones as well.
I had go dialer installed with no problems, but I love the stock dialer so I scrapped it. Worked fine though.

That was one I installed, but I could never make it the default dialer. Was it set as your default dialer? meaning when the phone rang Go dialer opened and not the built in dialer? because mine would always be the default dialer.
I've flashed and wiped using all nightlies, but when I receive a call I have to hit the phone shortcut then tap something that says press 5 then slide to answer. This has really been an issue BC I end up missing calls BC of of the extra steps. I figured there might be a setting in the cyanogen mod settings but it force closes everytime due to com.android settings. Someone plz help me answer my calls my just sliding to unlock like it was with stock. Currently running nightly 8. Also is there a way to get the notification bar back? Thx for all ur tike and help guys
I have an I-747 (ATT) SGS 3 and it's stock rooted.
I have only had the phone a couple of days and I've noticed the phone touchtones are missing. There's no touchtone sounds when dialing a number and when entering a key on the keypad like to enter a VM password, I get this ugly monotone sound on each key. In other words it doesn't sound like a touch tone phone. Is this normal?
I've installed the STock ROM via Odin and it still does this.
Normal? if not how can I fix it?
Its in your settings
Menu Button>Settings>Sound>Keytones

Found it i think
go to your dial pad
Menu>settings
In there is some for touchtone i think

Prolly need to modify each keys sound file to be whatever touchtone sound it should be for each. I dont see any touchtone items in the accessibility settings either.

Not there
Im out of ideas, maby its in the manual somewhere?
Im perplexed. I'm assuming the tones are built in to the dialer apk ill pull one from a rom and move it to the phone and see what happens.
I think it must be a hardware problem. I just installed the latest OTA through KIES and the problem persists. Very strange because I get touch tones in go dialer.
If anyone cares...
I chatted up Samsung Tech support today and was informed that this is normal.
The dialer doesn't do touchtones.
Hi,
When I receive a call while already on a call, and want to answer, I get the following options:
- Put <number> on hold
- End call with <number>
This means having to first swipe to bring up this menu and then select. More often that not, I miss the incoming call while doing this.
All my earlier phones with physical answer buttons allowed a default option to answer the call while putting the current call on hold. I know there's no option to enable this on the S3. Was hoping to see if there's an app that does that.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Me too I hate this behaviour. If you install a custom rom base 4.2.1 and higher you will have a different menu or install a Cyanogenmod rom. I recommand Omega rom 44.1.
Hi,
sorry if this is the wrong category, couldn't post in any other.
I am trying to replace the call app on my xperia z2 because I really don't like the look and functionality of the stock ui call app. However I wasn't able to find any option to do this (no matter for what device). Does anyone have an idea how to do it? Just to clarify: I am not talking about the dialer but about the screen that pops up if you are actually in a call (with the buttons to hang up, mute etc.).
Any way to theme the stock ui also would suffice. Thanks a lot.
