Guys, is there a program that gives me predictive dialing for the android? I have Froyo.
I found Dial one or something like that and it works fine, BUT, there is a formatting problem and it puts the persons name on TOP of the date last called and all that and it makes it harder to read, AND looks ****ty!
I'm also using a program that makes my fonts bigger which might be interfering but normally, it doesn't.
THanks

Tried TakePhone yet? 30 day trial if you get it from his website, shsh.com, then buy it from him direct or from the market.
Thanks
I don't see anything about predictive dialing but I can give it a try.
If I get it from his site, how do I install it on the nexus?
Thanks
George
You could also try TouchPal dialer free from the Market. It's got predictive dialing and is a bit more speedy than DialerOne.
I remember I loved this on my T-Mobile Wing. I could type in 323 and dad would come up.
Nowadays, I just use the search button in the dialer to find the contact in question. Just type their name out haha.
It's bull****! You'd think that on a 700 dollar phone, this would be standard
THanks by the way, I'll try the latest suggestion.

Go there on the phone? Chrome to phone? ADB push? Copy to sd card?
Ok, that was greek to me, Download to the SD card?
I assume Chrome is what the browser is but what's that AD something?

Whew, that saved me from being a jerk! Just kidding....
Just go to his website on your phone and hit the download button. Chrome to Phone is a browser extension available in Chrome, Firefox, maybe other browsers, which lets you send a URL directly to the phone to download.
Hey, unlike all the other idiots, at least I'm aware of it. Makes me smarter then doesn't it?
I will give it a shot and I will most certainly screw it up so I'll be back soon
my droid incredible does this out of the box...
Well, I think that's common sense and the sad thing is, some HTC phones have it and some don't. Makes no damn sense at all.
I had it on an HTC three years ago
What about the option of having LARGE fonts? Large enough for ol' farts like me?
NOthing. Gotta pimp my $hit to get apps on there to do it. Damn embarrassment to techs all over the world. They make a phone that can make coffee but they can't even figure out the simplest of things like hey, use the WHOLE screen for stuff, hey, have an option for large fonts, large icons, less space between icons and options for a large clock..
I think they're all idiots and that's my final answer!
try youlu address book...
the best in my opinion
Is this available in the market? I tried androlib but it's not there

Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App
DialerOne is laggy.

Yep, very nice and very peppy little app. However, I managed to change the layout in the favorites to thumbnails and I don't know how to get it back to LIST mode.
Any advice?

That's because you've spelled it wrong. It's TOUCHPAL, not touchpad. It's free in the market, works great in English and Chinese, and is a lot speedier than DialerOne, but has all the same features.

Youlu is faster than DialerOne but there are 3 things I'm missing here:
1. There is no * on the dial pad. I didn't find an option to call to phone number *1234.
2. With DialerOne I have shortcut to the call log screen and it appears with dial pad. I can start searching (T9 style) right away. In Youlu there are different tabs/screens for dial pad, calls log, contacts and favorites. If I use shortcut to calls log I have to do extra click for dial pad
3. In DialerOne there are few places you can press on a single line on calls log screen: 1. direct call, 2. calls log of specific contact, 3. mini-menu to dial, sms, face, mail to the contact or open contact details. It's less options in Youlu: direct call to the number or calls log of the specific contact (like if you got 3 calls from him and return one back)
I'm still wondering what best for me.
Hi!
I've just published my first app on the market - it's called Epistle.
It's a very simple text editor that can sync your notes with Dropbox; I will add folder support and note search soon.
Since all I've got is an old HTC G2 I'd appreciate if someone could help me test it (especially the synchronization mechanism).
You can find the app here: kooklab.com
Thanks.
Looks nice. Love the interface. However I am getting an FC whenever i hit "Sync". Account linked, I turned off all the automatic syncs, have reinstalled. I don't see any activity in my dropbox. Have attached logcat.
The only thing I would change is the note title field. I appreciate how other notepads use a bit of the first note line as the title.
You need to make a donate version, btw. I have been jonesing for a PlainText-alike and would happily pay for one!
Hi!

There is a stupid bug that prevents the app to perform the very first synchronization.
I'll push an update soon.

Hi! I like your app, but there is one thing I don't like. You should be able to give an option name to the folder it creates in dropbox. I'd rather have a folder named "Notes" than "Epistle", no offense to your namechoice.
This app is awesome!
I've now a Todo-list on my desktop and phone, synced!
Good work. I really like the idea.
Some comments:
1. I agree regarding the aforementioned opinion on the titling of notes. If no personal title is entered, the note should display the first line of the note in the overview list.
2. When you create a new note, the title is highlited and can be entered. However, as soon as the orientation of the phone changes (e.g. to landscape) the cursor is in the beginning of the text field and the title of the note cannot be changed. The same goes for the use of a hardware keyboard. When I flip my Desire Z open to use the hardware keyboard the same thing happens.
3. Deleting notes: The app should refresh by taking the latest changes into account. If I remove the note on the phone it should disappear from Dropbox. If I delete a file from dropbox, it should delete the note in the app.
4. Discarding notes. It should be possible to get back to the list view without saving a note. It's a good idea to have the note saved automatically when you press back. But you might provide a "discard note" option when you press "menu" while editing a note.
Regards,
Becksman

In landscape you should still be able to hide the virtual keyboard (with the back button) and double tap on the title to edit it.

If you delete a file from the phone everything works as expected; the other way around at the moment cannot be implemented - with the current API there is no way to tell if a file has been deleted from dropbox.

You're right. I tried that earlier and somehow it didn't work. I'd still prefer the cursor not to jump out of the title if I switch the orientation or open the hardware keyboard.

For me it's not working either way round. I "removed" 2 notes in the App and in my Dropbox they still appear. When I start the App they however don't show up anymore. I tried hitting "Sync", which resulted in a FC. However I just tried it again - created a new note, synced it and removed it again. This time it somehow worked.

I'll soon push another update on the market that should resolve most of the sync problems.
Would sorting by modification time or search be possible? The UI is perfection, but with many, many notes i get confused while navigating
Please ignore gregory's comment on the market. Unix line endings ftw.
Hey, i downloaded this yesterday! I'll provide any help needed!
By the way, love the latin root for the name.
It looks really pretty. The only reason I'm not going to give it a try is that Simplenote sync is currently a requirement for me.
But your attention to aesthetics pleases me
Thanks, thanks a lot for this app. Working great on my HERO, and finally I can sync my notes between my phone and my Linux desktop!
I don't mind the folder name or even the reverse sync issue, but I've got a few ideas on improving this. For example, you should stick to a notes format (like TiddyWiki) and give us ability to remark (bold) text, create check-able lists of items inside a note.... with transparent formatting (for example, *text* should bold, []item1 []item2 should create a check-able list, !subtitle for that exactly that and so on...). I think it should not be very difficult to implement and it could lead to, perhaps, a web app complement.
This app has tons of potential uses and improves. Thanks again.
Ever since I got my Samsung Captivate I've been using its built in memo pad for months. The fact that I couldn't export my notes was kind of a bummer. Now with your simple app, taking notes has never been simpler.
I'll try to report bugs when I see them. Thanks.
Been looking for something like this for ages, thank you.
Yesterday it worked fine, but today I'm getting FCs every time I open it on my Hero.
I'm about to test this in the Nook Color.. Thought the title "Drop-Notes" might be best appropriate for its key function :- )
All the minimal features are AWESOME thus far!
I've been using AK Notepad for the past few months.
I DON'T LIKE that it requires their webapp at catch.com to sync.
I REALLY LIKE that yours is very simple.
The only feature that I liked in AK Notepad, that I would like for you to implement would be #hashtags. This would make categorizing notes much simpler on both ends of the sync.
Along with the hashtags, a simple filtering system would be great!
And perhaps a customizable widget, that displays ONLY a set hashtag?!
Great job!
I'll be the first to donate/buy when you choose that route.
I can't link my dropbox account. the link button does nothing for me. It lets me enter my email and password, but thats it.
I'm using a Cliq XT running android 1.5
Ok, I'm sure I'm missing something obvious, but if I'm doing a "Respond Inline" for Gmail (as just one example), how do I scroll to a particular point to start typing. Just paging up or down wants to put me at the start of the line, and even then I have a hard time getting to the line. I'm kind of used to the trackball on my trusty N1 I guess.
TIA!

great keyboard works great
Took at look at your website, looks like a very good keyboard. I have the TMOUS HD2, and I've never liked its keyboard -- its keys are too close together.
I'd like to try SlideIT, but I have a question first. Can this keyboard be uninstalled if I don't like it by using "Remove programs" on my HD2? Thanks!
Looks like a great improvement. I'll post some feedback after some use. I already like the numbers/symbols being available by long press. That was one of the features lacking compared to Swype in my opinion.

No, I installed it on a RhodiumW. It shows up fine in the Remove Programs though. I haven't tried uninstalling, but it's generally pretty easy to look at a cab and just delete files from your phone if it won't uninstall. There's only 5 files, a shortcut added to \windows\startup, and 1 registry entry. A .dll goes in \Windows and 4 other files go in \Program Files\SlideIT. There's a setup.dll, but that probably just pops up the registration screen after install (though I don't know how to take the dll apart and see what it does ).
mwalt2:
Neither do I (know how to dissect dll's)!! Thanks for the details. I'll probably give it a try after I backup my phone with SPB Backup, just in case.
Works smooth, i like the keyboard also, doesnt lag. Some words to need to be spelled out tho, other than no problems. Definitly a GO
I tried to try the keyboard. It's always asking for an activation key. So it wasn't possible for me to try it. But it looks great. I'm using Goatrip 5.5..

Yes, since it didn´t work at my device (allways asking for activation) I uninstalled it using the windows routine. Everything seems to work as it should afterwards.
Here's my review after a few days of use.
Errors/Bugs
-General Settings - It says ‘Taping’ instead of Tapping.
-Check for update returns “You have a last version. Update is not available.” It would probably be more grammatically correct to just say "You have the latest version."
-Did have some problems getting it to type after initial install. I needed to switch to different keyboard and back to slideit in order for it to work correctly.
-At one point, I got stuck on registration/settings page and a task manager showed almost 11 MB of memory being used by SlideIT. It locked up the phone. This seems to be almost exclusively related to the registration pop up. It appears at different times (not just after a soft reset). I have a problem of it appearing after ending a call. It makes the device non-responsive for several seconds until the phone allows me to press 'OK'. I imagine this would not occur if I had a licensed version.
Likes over previous version
-Symbols above letters
-Smiles
-Moving the period to right of space bar. I was always pressing "," before in the previous version of SlideIT.
Suggestions
-Add a feature for one letter words like “I” an “a” where you can slide from I to space and have a space-I entered. As it is now, a space has to be entered manually before pressing “a” or “I”.
-Change Brown to default to the color instead of the name (lower case). Just personal preference I suppose .
Thanks and looking forward to the final version.
I would like to try it, looks nice to me, but when I press demo button it tells me that I need internet connection to activate demo. Probably becouse I am on wi-fi not on data connection. When I will have working intetrnet settings for prepay O2 UK I will try again. It would be nice to be abble to register with wi-fi internet co
nnection. Sorry for my English.
Since im not a big fan of bing and the app is useless for search results in my country, i dont like the search button at all and it annoys me when I accidently press it and a useless picture with a textbox comes up... now that this problem is solved with the instant start hack its less of a big deal.
However it would be much nicer if we could map this searchbutton to a contactlist search, like when in the people hub hitting search. Having this same action on the main page. Idk if this is possible, since it is possible to tap into the browser search button, maybe it is possible to change the action for the homepage, or something else.
Anybody an idea?
would like to remap that button, too.
For now I just deleted that button, by removing websearch.exe in /windows/ . should be possible to copy another file to that location

Does disabling it on the home screen impact the button's functionality in it's other uses, such as search within Marketplace?

I have no idea, but for us the whole bing thing is useless so i never use it. Have to navigate to google.com to get the results i want to have. However to call somebody it would be really useful to have it working as people search. I dont mind if this behaviour is universal.
However i hope we will have a fully functional taskmanager soon which will override the bing app
