The dialer app cannot do T9 contacts search? I cannot believe it! Can somebody tell me I have missed the setting somewhere to turn it on?

T9 ? I believe that feature was abandoned years ago in most phones... there's no T9 on Z2
1995 called, they want their technology back.
Yeah lets cry about every little thing now..
Abandoned years ago? lol, not even close. Actually T9 with predictive lookup is still the fastest way (least clicks) to get to a number that isn't on speed dial if you know what you're doing. Fast and easy doesn't go out of style and obviously most people and the OEMs agree since I haven't had a phone that doesn't do T9 yet and I get a new flagship phone every time one comes along that I like better than the one I already have. I'm curious what phones don't have it because I'm not running into any without it. With that said there are dialers available on the market with a wide range of features that are IMO better than any I've come across OEM mostly due to increased options so I'd look there for the weapon of my choice.
Wait a minute..
I believe T9 is there on my Z2. For instance, I type 326435 to search "daniel" and it works.
Is that what you're looking for?
I can confirm that T9 works with the dialer.
That is strange. Cause it doesn't work on mine
Works on my z2 too. Maybe clear data for your contacts app?

Hi,
I just got my Z2 from Starhub. I am trying to dial my contacts by matching against names, but it can only match against numbers only too.
Did you manage to find a solution around this?
Thank you!

In the end, I use a 3rd party dialer downloaded from Google play. The stock dialer sucks, unfortunately.

Just because a feature doesn't work for you, means that it sucks. Tried the Daniel thing that was earlier posted and it works fine. Try it in safe mode?

The fact of the matter is that the "daniel" thing didn't work for me, and accordingly to one other person in Singapore too. Maybe the Z2 sold in Singapore is different? The fact is that if I type "326435" it shows no contacts found in the stock dialer but in the 3rd party dialer it shows up Daniel. I have tried alot of things including deleting the dialer data, deleting and recreating all my contacts etc. But none works. This is a very basic feature of a dialer as I do not believe anybody will whip out a dialer and search for his contacts using the contact number. Hence by not being able to perform such a basic feature, it sucks! Sorry for being blunt.
To add on, I have taken a few screenshots to demonstrate what the phone is showing, vs what the 3rd party dialer is showing (DialApp). If somebody can post screenshots to show that their Z2 stock dialer can really show "Daniel" when they type "326435", I would be really surprised that this feature works differently.
1. First screenshot shows the stock dialer highlighting only the numbers which match 326 as I type.
2. 2nd screenshot shows that no contacts were found after typing 326435
3. 3rd screenshot shows that Daniel was highlighted when I typed 326435 using the 3rd party dialer
Working perfectly...i can find my contacts name dialing their corresponding letters,,,not a single problem
Try force stopping/disabling then reenabling it?

My Z2 is D6503 and it Daniel comes out fine. Daniel seems like such a common name.
I noticed from your 2nd screen shot, there's a space after 4 digits and then followed with the other 2 ie 3264 35 Could that be the reason.
When I type 6 numbers, they are grouped as one and not split into 2 like in your picture.
Does other more than 4 numbers also get split?

Hi
I find that dialling from s2 lacks following
1. In keypad, it sorts either first name or last name, not both. Very disappointing.
2. When we click contacts from home menu, it does not give option of default num key pad. Only default key board comes when we hit search bar.
Any option, suggestion on this. I find dialling too slow.

Well thats the way it works. Do you know one thing, say you have to call John, you just have to dial 5646. I like this feature so much.

If you want to dial someone, open the dialer, not the contacts.
Sort by both names?? Do tell..
Why do you need the numberpad to open from contacts??
Open contacts, swipe contact, you're calling. What's "too slow" about that?
When we open dialer, and say I search a person with last name, his or her name will not pop.
When in contact, for searching, we need to pop up the keyboard. A dialer pad auto pop would have made it fast.
I know it cannot work like qwerty, but in my earlier dial pad of htc, sorting of both names was there.
My earlier e72 too lacked this, but, in a firmware update it was fixed.
Else I have to remember and change many first name.
My query make sence. When we dial, it should be quick to reach to no.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
So you want to be able to search both names, not sort them.
It doesn't do containing text searches - it only searches for names that begin with what you type. Just bare that in mind and you can't go wrong. It is fast and easy - it's just different from what you've used before so you have to learn how to use it correctly.
I'm gonna borrow this thread a bit actually. I'm using dialer one since it has all the options I need, but right now I need to get a hold of the stock dialer for entering a USSD code (for disabling fast dormancy).
I've tried entering it in dialer one, but it just said "connection error or invalid MMI-code". I reckon this is since I'm trying to enter it from a third party app. So, trying to find the stock samsung dialer I go. I've checked both phone app and contacts app but cannot for the poop in me find the dialer pad. (You know the 0-9 + * and # keyboard). All I find are call logs, contacts and groups. But nothing about a dialer. I know I saw it somewhere when I first got this phone, but now I can't find it.
Any help?

Have you tried scrolling the tabs at the top of the screen? The dialer is on the far left.
Haha, thank you. I knew I'd seen it somewhere before. And of course it now worked like a charm. Have a good one.
I'm new to HTC stuff, so i just have a question about this phone. When i'm texting someone, and he/she texts me back, it shows the message with the contact name along with their numbers, highlighted in blue. This happens to some contacts, and those contacts have 2 different numbers (one mobile, one home). Also this happens in the conversation (blue and white post-it bubbles). Is it possible to disable the number from appearing every message?
hmm.. not sure..

Apps are the reason to have a smart phone. It's best not to assume that the manufacturer provided the best applications with the phone. Maybe so - maybe not. Best to do some research, try different things, and decide for yourself. You know what you like better than anyone else.

Same issue here.
Unfortunately even ROM reinstall couldn't fix it, so I guess Google stores it online, but I didn't see an unhide option.
Does anyone found a solution?
Anybody got an update on this? I tested the hide option on my WIFE and can't get her back! yeah, I can type her name in and create a new hangout, but that's a lot more effort while driving than simply hitting a big icon of her face!
Thanks.

Unfortunately I didn't found an option to this. I think it's pathetic.
Me neither. I really dislike hangout. Beside that stupid bug, since I installed hangout even when I don't have any nerwork, I'm considered online 24/7 to people even when I just wish to be left alone and not be reachable offline. I checked there is a hangout/gtalk session that stay active 24/7 I tried the tricks to kill it with pilgrim but it comes back.
This is really uncomfortable. I sometimes just wish to be offline or invisible, I'm actually thinking of disabling definitely gtalk/hangout...

For the hide issue, I think it is same as removing in older gtalk version. You have to invite that person again to unhide him/her.

I don't think so, because on PC I'm using the old google talk client and the friend who i accidentally hid in hangouts is still visible in my contact list as online.

Have you tried inviting her again with hangout? I don't use hang out, so I can't be sure, but I think there must be a way to readd, if not unhide, your contact.

There is no readd because he is in my contact list (phonebook, gtalk) just hidden from the recent hangout list. I can send a message too and vica-versa.
It's not a big issue for me, I just think it's pathetic that there is a hide option, but no unhide or manage hidden contacts or something.

I just tried that but the ghost idle away session is still active even after disconecting from app. And l checked in gmail the other active session button and made sure to disconect them all. But I'm still 24/7 idle away. I hate that, specially right now where I really don't want people to see me or try to contact me. I have to block them so that they don't see me online it's pathetic ! Like hunfatal said. F... hangout.
I have the same issue and it does not appear that google implemented a way to unhide them.

Think you need third party. It's expensive but the Norton mobile stuff comes with a very effective call management bit, as well as cloud based password manager.
And no, I don't work for them but do enjoy their shizzle, recommend to anyone.

You can blacklist using the stock UI without a third-party app - it just isn't as intuitive as TouchWiz.
If you go in to edit a contact and scroll down to the bottom - there's an option that says something like 'send calls to voicemail.
For texting you will need a third-party app.

that's quite an unelegant way to go at this problem... i'd have to add telemarketer's to my contact list just to block them LOL

Google Play store says it's not compatible; I've tried various APKs and when I go to install they also say incompatible.
That sucks. What might be the cause? I know the S8 can install it.

As per the notes on the thread, this older version is the only one that fully works on Non-Nexus devices. The newer patched versions may install but are often buggy and lack the necessary framework for spam call rejection and other features.

Does your dialer have the voicemail tab? I'm on T-Mobile and have to use T-Mobile's Visual Voicemail app on my unlocked phone. I couldn't get the voicemail tab to show up and there was nothing in the settings that could activate it. I tried a SIM card pulling trick I saw on Reddit but that didn't do it either. Thanks!

You have to ensure that the Google Phone app is actually properly set as your default Dialer/Phone app. I had a similar problem until I did that. Under settings, go to apps and then click on "Configure apps" under the three dot overflow menu on the top right. Make sure the correct app is listed under "Phone app".
