Hi,
When I press the Samsung phone shortcut default application (to make a call or view contacts, call log etc.), it usually open the last position used i.e. if last time I used the call log, so it will open the call log (when I want to use keypad to dial….)
What to do?
I have already found a shortcut application, that point directly to 'call log', but still asking for dialer (keyboard) specific shortcut.

I use Samsung Galaxy Alpha, but I think my question related to any Samsung phone.
PS
The 'call log' mode is default to all "all logs" yet I want it to default to all call logs"

Hi there,.,
I have a contact with two numbers, as following:
Code:
Contact name: EXAMPLE
Number 1: 111
Number 2: 222
I'd like to:
1) make the default call number: Number 1
2) make the default sms number: Number 2
I already made the default call number "Number 1", but where can I set up the default sms number setting? If it is even possible?
Btw, my Xperia X10 Mini is on MiniCM7-2.1.6.
are you using a specific app for texting?
most apps out there are set up as blocks of conversation anyways so you don't really need to put the number to whom you're texting to

I use the stock "messaging" app when I turn on the phone because I need to mark all messages as "read".
The rest of the time I use Handcent SMS,.,
Btw, do you maybe know how to set up Handcent SMS to automaticaly mark messages I read (in Handcent app, or pop-up notification, anyway) as "read" in the stock app also, because I don't want to manually mark all messages as read after every reboot
The thing i didn't mention is:
I created a shortcut of that contact on "desktop", so when I press on it, a pop-up balloon shows up with 3 options:
1) phone call
2) open contact
3) send sms
when I press on "CALL", it calls the default number,.,
I'd like to set it up so that when I press the "SMS" button it uses the other number,., I hope this clarified my question
i use HyDrOG3N 25/3 AOKP rom and i have a small "issue"
the phone log show me only the numbers of the people who i called or called me, not their names.
but when i dial them it shows the name from the contacts.
is there a fix to this?
also, on the same issue of "phone", how do i do the following:
1. disable of change the top line that sits on the Picture of the contact when i make a call
2. is there no setting to "show only contact with numbers" in ics?
(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.
Why is it that when I change "Call Logs" "View by" to "All Calls" it changes it back. I close and reopen and everything is there again instead of just calls. (like text messages etc). Also for some reason I changed my contact list to not show contacts from this app called "voxer" but same as call logs everytime i exit that phone book. and reopen they are back. Its like everything changes back..
I'm having the same problem.
A friend of mine with an S2 said the preference doesn't save and you need to use a different dialler/phone application.
Hi, I can't seem to find any way to create this shortcut, not an app, not a shortcut, and not an activity.
I simply want to be able to enter the dialer tab directly, without going through call log or contacts.
I don't want a dialer widget on my desktop, or a different dialer.
I found this solution, but it's not good for me, because I want to use the dial pad auto complete feature (with the name prediction), so it won't help me to launch the dialer with a specific number in it.
How come the problem is so simple yet there's no solution?

Thanks in advanced.
