This dialer is really aweful considering there is no smart dial..
plus you cant tap the contact and have their numbers popup so you can choose which you want to call.
these are basics of wm and i dont have these features. I love the phone and it's features, but smart dial is extremely important to me and im sure to others as well.
is there something i can do to replace the dialer?
help if you can
Thank you
There is Smart Dial on my Sprint Touch Pro. The thing that bothers me is everytime you touch a name under the dialer it automatically starts calling them. I would like it to go to the contact so you can pick which number to call.

You have to click on the input bar at the very top of the screen before you touch a name. This will search instead of dial.

Use your D-pad to scroll through the numbers, press Left or Right after you see the name.

...How do you input extra numbers to be dialed after the phone number, i.e., to dial a pause and your password for instance).
I thought it was "," but that didn't work. And for short numbers like traffic "511" plus the highway, I put in 511,4951 and it converts it to 511-4951.
^^ the letter p is for pause and w is for wait ^^

Too bad you can't make the input bar a little bigger, I find it hard to tap the input box without using the stylus. Most times I can tap everything with my finger but that input box always messes me up.
I use the Sprint Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) feature almost exclusively now to dial numbers from my Contacts. Regardless of what Sprint calls it, it's Microsoft Voice Command and it works quite well. There's no training and you don't have to record voice tags. It just works
It even works well with a Bluetooth headset. Just tap the answer/call button on the headset and tell your phone who to dial. If there's more than one number for the contact, it will ask which one to dial. I rarely take my phone out of the holster to make a call.

Yeah, I dial everyone with it unless there's too much background noise. I LOVE it.
You can also tell it to start programs by saying "Start " then the program name, OR, you can tell it to play media files by saying the same thing. You can even ask it for the date and time and your battery level. I never even really knew how good it was until I used it. Not one review I read talked about it.
i dont think you guys understand what i am saying... i owned the xv6800 for 2 years and the i760 also... smartdial does work on the touch pro but when you hit the number with your finger it calls that number.. with the xv6800 and i760 you tap and hold and all the contact info comes up in a little popup and you tap the number you want to call..
as for the dpad.. the dpad takes alot to get use to..it's too easy to make mistakes using the dpad.
i brought back the original dialer through the reg and it still did not help. htc has completely taken over the os with their proprietary software. not too smart on their end. i have also disabled the touch flo and you get the same ugly white dialer.
Just read!
And the answer you were given in this thread is that when you see the number in your call history, you use your d-Pad to scroll through the numbers in your directory and when you see the one you want you hit enter and your phone will "F"-ing dial it. Can you not read?

In my dialer, it has a Contacts button in the lower left corner. If you use that, then it works the way you describe: click a contact and then you can pick which number you want to use. Doesn't everyone have this?
I agree with the OP. I would like to have smart dialer access Contacts so that I can quickly pull up someone's full contact info and then decide which number to call. I also try to avoid using the D pad because it isn't 100% accurate (or at least not for me) and I have had trouble dialing the wrong number or person inadvertently.
Trying to use the current Contacts option isn't very finger friendly for me.
Update - I just used Advanced Config to turn off the dialer skin, and now I have what I was looking for. At least with Sprint, the basic dialer has smart dial that allows you to tap a contact and it brings up the persons contact info, rather than just dialing their default number. I'm going to give this a try for a while.
I use Spb's Mobile shell to do as you describe.

QWERTY stuck on compact, wont change to Full
I have been doing some tweaking to my phone and after adding the black dialer, my QWERTY that displays with messages is the compact and not the full anymore. I have tried to change it in the Today section but it keeps reverting back to the compact style. I have not been able to locate the cab file to delete it. Any help would be great, thanks I should specify, I am using the touch pro

I don't think that's possible but I'll be monitoring to find out if it is, that'd be sick. Good luck.
If Conference Calling is available from your carrier, have you ordered it?
I just wish that I could go back to the 1st caller after ending call with 2nd caller.....
first call someone as you normally would
then once the call is established press the send key in the bottom left hand side
you will here a tone(other caller will note be able to hear you at this point) dial the next number and press the send key and wait till the pick up
then press the send key and all three people will here each other
give it up CDMA phones are not like GSM phones they dont support conference calling correctly the swap and join call functions arent available! they wont even appear on the phone u have to keep pressin send to switch b/w callers and conference mode...now lets make the situation even worse when your switching b/w these modes the touch pro WONT'T display on screen who you're talking to!! so you could be saying something to the wrong person or even worse the caller on the other line could be on conference hearing all callers without u knowing!!...my advice just call the person bak when your call is done.
I've got gs3 and i love it to every bit. although, there is just one problem that i'm not able to solve.
Call waiting is activate don my phone and i receive all my calls while I'm on another active call. But when i get a new call, I swipe the green button and I get a new dialog box named "accept call after" which shows the option to 'end' the previous call or to to keep it on 'hold'. Now, at times I forget about it and it takes time that every now and then I miss that call.
I have tried numerous third-party dialer but they do not override the default dialer screen, so i was wondering if there is a trick/workaround so that I would be able to simply take the new call and my previous call goes to 'hold' by default?
i have had this feature on almost every phone that I have owned till now. using an aosp/aokp rom seems to be another solution, but it would be the last thing i would want to do..
thanks
Hi Forum,
yesterday I had the unfortunate opportunity to make an emergency call. After typing the emergency number (I tried 110 and 112) and pressing "Dial" the phone immediatly disconnected ("Ruf beendet"). I tried to make a normal call after I took care of the injured person, which worked. Obviously this is an unacceptable situation. Any hints?
I'm running my on Eragon 2.0 on a Elephone P9000.
I also replaced the Bootanimation with the stock android 6.0 animation and the font with Roboto L.
My service provider is Congstar (T-Kom).
I'm afraid I can't offer any more details about the state of the phone at the point of the call, because I was pretty upset and had to administer first aid to a guy lying bleeding on the ground. If there is anything I can provide you with, e. g. log files, please ask.
Hope we can get this sorted.
Hello

I prefer to use Bixby to answer spam calls. This is one of the best features that Samsung has backed into One UI.

Can. You elaborate how please?
You can go into the phone and choose the hamburger option on it and choose Bixby text call.

It will be interesting to see comparison between Google Screen Call vs Bixby in action. Since I switched to Pixel 7 Pro and using Screen Call and so spam calls are less now. I hade before like about 12 calls per month now I have maybe one call per month. So on unknown numbers I use Screen call.

I don't think they really compare. On the Pixel the screener works automatically. On the Galaxy, you have to select it each time a call comes in. It's not very convenient to use at all because of it requiring input on each call. Until they make it work automatically, it won't compare to the Pixel's implementation. Also, for some reason, it doesn't work when you're on wifi calling.
