Hi there,
I was tinkering with my Nexus S when i stumbled upon a problem. Wanted to put a shortcut on my homescreen so that when i pressed it, it would go to the the dialer screen. However when i chose "Phone" app as the action it goes to the call log screen instead of the dialer screen.
My question is how do i make it go straight to the dialer screen instead of the call log screen? I've tried long pressing and going to action>dialer but cant seem to get the right action to go to the dialer screen.
Btw im using ADW launcher
Appreciate the help peeps. =D
Need help guys!
Have you tried Any Cut?
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.appdroid.anycut&feature=search_result
Thanks for the suggestion. tried any cut. The problem isn't how to get a shortcut. I just don't know which activity to attach to the shortcut so that it will go to the default dialer.
Every time i set the shortcut to phone it will go to call log screen. I'd have to press on the dialer tab to go to the dialer screen. so i just want to bypass that. I want to know how to set a shortcut so that it goes straight to the dialer screen.
Any cut has an option to create your own shortcut, but according to this :http://www.openintents.org/en/intentstable and this:http://developer.android.com/guide/appendix/g-app-intents.html it´s possible to make a direct call, but I am not sure about bringing only the dialer... need a little more research. I´ll let you know if I find something.
Thanks alot. Hope other members have the answer.
Any suggestions?
Help me out here people..
Download desktop Visualizer from the market and on your desktop create a phone widget. This will take you to the dialer screen (just tested it)
Sent from my MattedBlues CM7 Nexus S from the XDA Premium app.
I've been using desktop visualizer to set up my homescreen frm the start. Anyways tried to set the phone widget again but now when i press it it goes to the favourites screen instead! Very frustrating =S
Any way to set the phone widget default screen to dialer?
Try going into settings > Call Settings > Always back to call log and uncheck box may help.
Also in Phone app go to settings > Return to dialer after call and check box.
Hope it helps you.
How do u get to the settings mentioned above? I tried gg to these settings but there isnt such options. Tried long pressing but still no such options. Im using Nexus S android 2.3.2.

this solution is without using any third party contacts app!!!
Recently downloaded the new Dragon Go for my Sensation. Had to side load it due to it not officially being available for the Sensation. I was trying to set it as the default instead of voice search but it does not alway the option even after clearing the default settings. Is there a way to make it happen? I am not a dev so I am not adept to these things but appreciate any help.
Thanks to all friends and developer who contribute here on XDA.
You should just have to clear the defaults for Voice Search and then hold down the search button.
Then it should let you pick a new default.
If that doesn't work then try reinstalling Dragon Go!

I have tried both of these things but the option to set it as the default voice provider still isn't present. I would also like to set it as the default. I'm on an Inspire 4g.
Maybe try titanium backup
You can freeze apps
Maybe if you freeze the apps it will connect dragon Go instead of being lost.
NOTE: This is a list of bugs for STOCK (NON-MODDED) ICS 4.0.3 & 4.0.4 (LC4, LD2, and LE2) (Most bugs from the initial LC4 leak fixed after the two major version leak updates) from DesignGears.
If you have flashed to ANY OTHER CUSTOM ICS 4.0 ROM, PLEASE WRITE IN THE DEVELOPERS' / ROM thread.
1 - 03/26/2012: When selecting "Contacts to Display" and selecting CUSTOMIZE LIST > Selecting ONLY Google Contacts (EXCLUDE G+).
Then you start typing someone's name, it returns contacts in SIM card and on Google contacts.
2 - 03/26/2012: Autocorrect on the included "Android Keyboard" doesn't work by pressing spacebar.....like it had been in previous 2.3.6. Even when changing setting to VERY AGGRESSIVE. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
3 - 03/26/2012 [CONFIRMED] When deleting a message thread, the phone will freeze and turn into a blank screen (except notification bar) then the messaging app will close. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
4 - 03/26/2012: [CONFIRMED] When using the "PHONE" icon to bring up dialer, contacts tab is no longer associated in it.
5 - 03/27/2012: 50/50 Users report more sensitivity on the touch screen, some report lack of sensitivity of touch.
6 - 03/27/2012: HOW TO take screen shot: Press AND HOLD ... VOL DOWN + POWER BUTTON for at LEAST 1-2 SECONDS. You will then be prompted to view the screenshot in notification bar / indicator.
METHOD #2 of taking screenshots: Press and HOLD Power button + HOME key.
7 - 03/29/2012: Some users report when tapping "RESTART" or "SHUTDOWN" on STOCK Power-button option, the phone will freeze. Either you have it or you don't. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
7 - 04/02/2012: Users report echoing or unable to hear other party on an INCOMING call. This is a "hit or miss" bug.
8 - 04/02/2012: [CONFIRMED]Bluetooth stack in the new kernel has resolved a LOT of vehicle-to-android phone issue (static, drops, functions, etc.).
10 - 04/04/2012: [CONFIRMED BIG ISSUE] When creating a new contact in phone and setting it to GOOGLE CONTACTs; forcing a sync or auto-sync option will NOT push the contact to google servers for backup purposes. However, deleting or creating a contact while logged in on a full web browser will push it back to the phone via sync. FIXED IN UCLD2 LEAK
11 - 04/09/2012: [CONFIRMED] There are known issues with stock email app. Syncing unread/read e-mails will not push back to exchange server email client. Also emails me not completely send and stays "stuck" in outgoing box.
FIX (Thanks dixit):
This google thread shows the official issue and show that it was fixed officially in 4.0.4.
https://code.google.com/p/android/is...etail?id=23534
If you scroll down to post 51 you will see there is a link where someone put the two 4.0.4 APKs from a Spring Nexus S 4G which fixes this issue as explained above. So just go to that link, download the two Email/Exchange APKs, put them in System/App, correct permissions, remove your two Samsung Native Email APKs, and that will fix the issue of emails being stuck in the outbox.
Here is the direct link to those two APKs off Post 51
http://files.devphone.org/404mail/
11 - 04/15/2012: [CONFIRMED] When adjusting ringtone level in SETTINGS > SOUNDS, the ringtone level will not lower or raise; it stays at one level.
FIX: Adjust via volume rocker while in any other system screen (Home, MMS, etc) BUT NOT IN-APP. *Thanks petrochemicals!*
Here's what I found and posted in another thread...
So far so good except a few things:
1) I hate the fact that "contacts" are no longer visible in the dialer. Now I need another icon that I rarely use. The only option appears to hit menu and select contacts from there.
2) The "power off" and "restart" options in the extended power menu (hold power button down) seem to lock up and freeze whenever I try to use one of these thus requiring a battery pull. Anyone else experiencing this?
3) Can't use built in hotspot tethering anymore. This is something that I use with my tablet often. Any solutions other than a 3rd party app? If not, what app is everyone using for hotspot tethering?
4) Why in the world don't the signal bars turn green once fully connected? It's driving me crazy because normally that means its not connected to your Google account. This is the first time I've seen this (of MANY different Android phones). - This appears to be an ATT thing as other carriers and phones change the signal bars color when its connected to your google account (as it always should be).
Grey bars, works for for me; turning green = same color as battery = confusion to some it is acting as a double icon of ur battery? lol
I don't get a freeze in the menu.... I'm assuming you're talking about the built-in menu not a modded one? I just use the one that came with the ICS.
Hotspot tethering, you'll have to wait for a dev to mod that unless you are wanting an app for it.
I can tell you that I got my portable hotspot to work. It gave me numerous error messages though when I first went to set it up and the screen freezes when I turn it on. I went back to home and back to the hotspot settings and the toggle remained on. I changed the default password to all 9s bc I was getting an invalid password error. After that, I connected my old iPhone to the Skyrocket wi-fi.
I used to use Barnicle Wi-fi tether but it doesn't work now. Is there a difference between the stock portable wi-fi hotspot program on the phone and Barnicle? Im just curious if Barnicle masked the fact that the user was tethering.

Yes, I'm referring to the built in power menu. I fixed permissions in CWM and still no go. Any ideas???
I find the keyboard to be a bit slow on the responsive side. Anyone else running into that or am I just trying to type too fast?
Perform a Factory data / reset?
I find the new keyboard fairly responsive vs the old one; I just thought i typed too fast for the old one lol. This one actually keeps up and Swype keyboard tapping works more fluent as well.
good job guys, keep up the troubleshooting so hopefully some devs will cook up a nice rom

I'll give that a spin. I did that once already to fix my home button problem, so I'll try and do another. But yea I use to use the ICS keyboard from the market on GB, and that was quick enough for me.
stuff I notice so far
I did notice the contact tab missing from dialer. The menu selected one doesn't allow right and left swipe for call/text. In the contacts app, the swipe works ok.
the only real problem for me, thus far, is when deleting SMS threads; messaging force closes.
Anyone else have that?
BTW thanks for starting this thread, wasn't sure where to post bugs - I think this may be usefull to keep them all in one spot.
Getting some odd behavior from Rom Mngr
Aside from other errors I got, when I ask ROM Mngr. to perform a task, I get a bunch of errors like "Messaging has failed," "Internet has failed," "com.google.xx" has failed. But then it goes and performs the request.
However! Whereas on 2.3.6 UCLA3, when requesting a backup via ROM Mngr., it would go straight to the backup whereas now, it goes into CWM and I still have to select Backup from the option there.
Deleting threads freezes my messaging also.

Noticed a new one.
Not getting pictures with messages now, too.
Nvm. Damn - I hate bug posts. They come, they go.
The only thing I've noticed so far is I don't seem to get LTE in my house anymore. Boo...
I'm having issues with audio files. I can't use either Google Play Music, Samsung Music Player or Doubletwist to play audio. It creates duplicates which I believe corrupt the file itself.

I get it too, but there is no need for a battery pull if it freezes during a restart.
Press and hold the power button and the phone will restart after a few seconds.
It's a leak, not an official release, so I fully expected bugs.
Face unlock crashes a lot for me.
It fails o power on the camera and then the keypad doesn't respond for PIN input.
Requires a reboot.

Did you do a complete ext4 wipe / format prior to ODIN ONE CLICK ?
Run factory data reset, then fix permissions and then reboot. Face unlock works perfect and pin input works.

Yep.
Face unlock does work... just not all the time.

Facial unlock is perfect for me. No problems whatsoever.

So I updated messenger and I would like to use chat heads. Have done pretty much done everything (restart, uninstall, wipe, etc.) And it is not working, I am using Facebook Home (have tried without). Running CM10 (also tried stock), please help I would love to use this feature.
If you have them enabled from the messenger settings, go to the chat list and long press a conversation.
Probably should of mentioned that. Well that is the issue, when I long press and tap "pop out chat head" it closes the app and goes home and nothing happens.
yeah I also have the issue on my tab 10.1 it does not work on stock but works on cyanogenmod can someone help?
Same here
Longpressing pop out chathead and it goes back to home screen without doing anything
using cyanogenmod rom

Same here, but with stock ROM 4.1.2
I have managed to fix that
Uninstall Facebook and FB messenger
Go to recovery mode and delete all cash \ dalvik
Reinstall
Viola
Also, make sure that you don't have expanded desktop enabled. Chat heads don't work with expanded desktop enabled.

1. Go to Settings, Display, and uncheck the Double-tap to wake option.
2. Go to Settings, Buttons. and make sure Enable on-screen nav bar is selected. After that go to Settings, Interface, then under Navigation Bar select the Buttons and layout option. from there you can customize the icons.
Just got my OPO too, upgrading from Cyanogen 10.2 on my last phone so I'll add a couple questions.
1. Where is the default Android browser? I only see Chrome (I like to use both for different purposes)
2. Where is Google Now? I thought it should show up on the left hand home screen by default but I don't see it.

1. Chrome is the default browser of kit kat. If your rooted u can install the AOSP browser with an app from play store. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.mkrtchyan.aospinstaller
2. Google Now works off the on screen buttons as usual. For swipe left use https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.launcher
Also check for a setting on stock launcher for it, I use Nova on mine and can't check my phone now.

Thanks, yeah I figured out the stock browser was dropped in KitKat after I posted that question. I like having a second browser so I may try Firefox, Next and/or UC Browser as an alternative to the AOSP one.
