App that combines dialer and contacts? - Android Apps and Games
Just switched from an xperia x10i to a droid x....
Xperia had contacts, call history and DIALER all in one application...
With the droid X, unless I am missing something, contacts and dialer are separated (though dialer has contacts, you can not change or edit them)...
So a big ol... WTF mate.
Also. New to verizon, how can I get rid of the 'In case of emergency' crap?

Motorola's stupid customizations include having contacts and dialer in different apps.
Try another dialer app, like Dialer One.
Try YouLu Address Book. It's awesome.

takePhone is a great one too, and looks really sharp. Has speed dials, predictive numbers, names, or business etc.
TouchPal dialer is another good one that includes contacts, favorites, and predictive dialing. I find that it runs faster than DialerOne.

With the exception of dialer one, none of them have an option to only display contacts with numbers. And that really bothers me as my contacts list is overflowing with fb contacts I can't call.
Okay, not to highjack, but on the same stem of question:
What does your favorite dialer app have that the stock doesn't. Besides the contacts thing. I think the phone contacts are fine for the app. I like the predictive dialing they included in the new update. it syncs with facebook pictures/links contacts which is really nice and keeps things organized. And as mentioned above, it ONLY links phone contacts instead of my hundreds of random facebook friends.
And for this exercise, exclude Youlu from any possible suggestions. It isn't a dialer if it doesn't have a * or # key for god sake.
The reason I ask is because there is so many, and there must be one that just blows everything else away. But DialerOne looked really boring to me. Felt like I was just using the stock dialer.
EDIT: Just tried Takephone (had to rush because I only had 15 minutes or else I just bough a THREE DOLLAR DIALER.) I like it a lot at first, as I did most other dialer apps. But you can't edit the contacts really, and though it links to the facebook pictures, it doesn't link to facebook. The stock dialer, you click on the name, and you get birthday, facebook, phone number, websites, etc...
It also brough back some duplicates that were linked in the stock app. If I have a "Jessie" in my phone book, and her name is "Jesi" on Facebook, I can link them so I have all of the info in one place. Takephone didn't recognize that link for all of my contacts, which is annoying. I'm very anal about having detailed information about all of my contacts.
I think I'm starting to realize there isn't a dialer app that can beat stock droid x froyo.

By stock do you mean stock HTC Sense dialer and People app?

My favourite dialer by far!
stock meant the new droidx dialer that came with this new update. they included a predictive dialer finally.
I think dialerone is the only other dialer that actually has the features dialers need, (again, still can't believe anyone would want Youlu without * and # keys and it doesn't even sync with facebook pictures) but it just seems like the exact same thing as the stock dialer.

The only time you would ever need to press * or # is when you're already in a call, presumably in one of those voice-guided menus. And when that is the case, dialerone or youlu's dial pad are not given access, but the stock Android dialer's dial pad.

Is this the one?
Do you know whether it's possible for it to work on Non-motoblur or whatever ROMS? Like HTC Sense apps don't work no non-sense ROMs.

Only jumping in here because I downloaded Youlu yesterday and was looking for more information. As has been said, it didn't have the * and # keys, but this morning it said 'update available' and lo and behold they've appeared! Not tested them out but I'll assume they work ....
My reason for going for Youlu over the stock people app on a Desire HD was that the people app would not just show a contacts address completely (unless the whole thing would fit on that one small line). Now some people will think that's no big deal but I use the phone as an address book and when you want to send someone a card (Xmas just gone!!) you just want a reminder of the address. What I don't want to happen by default and with no way of changing it, is to have a mapping application lauched. With Youlu you get to see the complete address and only then do you get a mapping application launched (launches Google maps on my Desire HD even after the update that means that the people app launches HTC's Locations).
I still think there's a gap for a good contact app for Android!

Going through these posts, I find 2 dialers that seem really nice. One is the Youlu and the other is the Ray Dialer.
The Youlu works really well. I only wish it had a darker theme to match the default GingerBread black for the Nexus S.
I liked the Ray Dialer a lil more, but it lacked the option of going to the favorites, contacts & log. Yes, the log appears, by default, but liked the option of those Phone/contact/log/favorites/.
What I liked about Ray Dialer is that when I type a name / partial number and then choose the name, it shows me the list of all numbers that the contact has. It also allows me to send and sms or email or whatever I choose. Basically it takes me to the default contacts.
Youlu too shows me all the numbers, but it does not show me if the number is a home, office or mobile number. Also, it does not show me options to do anything other than call.

One thing about txts I dont like
Maybe some one else has an idea or maybe a fix. people that i have an email address for or another number show up different if i send them a text. It lists their name and then their phone number. I would it rather jsut show their name liek it does for people in my contacts that just have 1 number and no email
I found the HTC messenger app so crappy I replaced it with handscent. Things are much better. Took a bit to get handscent as the default messenger but it works great. Sent from my ADR6400L using Tapatalk
One more reason I cannot wait to load CM7 Add that to the list of things HTC Sense blows at... and counting...
Dialer, that rules 'em all
Hey. So I've been looking or a dialer that basically supports all the features that Sense's one does: - searching by name/surname/phone number - displaying photo/facebook photo/gmail photo not just photo as most of available dialers do. - scope through contacts The one that almost supports all of them is TouchPal, but it seems that it does not show contact avatar from linked facebook account :? Do you have any alternative?
I like GoContacts
Try Youlu Address Book.. Very nice dialer application...available free on Market
I tried them all, and none of them are perfect. They always miss one key aspect that Sense dialer handles very well and it's the only app I'm missing to switch to CM7. They either: 1) are terribly slow with T9 search through contacts or going through log or don't have scrolling handles to quickly scroll to certain letters 2) cannot search phone numbers 3) cannot search with accented characters and spaces 4) cannot search in the middle of the names 5) duplicating the output, if contacts have more phone numbers

I prefer to have duplicated contact when multiple numbers are present - that way I can tap on number I want to dial and I'm ready to talk. No additional selecting needed.

Try Angel Dialer/Fast Dialer/Dialer One i currently use Angel Dialer, but i have been using Fast Dialer for some time. its fast and works perfectly on CM7 Nexus One
A capable dialer / contacts app needed!! Please help!
Hello, I am desperately looking for a dialer / contacts app, which has the following features: - Display the Names of contacts, TOGETHER with their phone numbers. - Provide a detailed call summary (time of outgoing calls / incoming calls, all calls, SMS counter!) - Has the ability to allow calls and SMS messages ONLY for certain contacts, so that only a few people can disturb me while I'm sleeping. I don't care if this will be a paid or a free app. I'm new to Android, my previous phone had WM 6.1 and I'm really DESPERATE how poor the contacts and dialer of Android are!!! I don't need a 4.3" screen to see the names of my contacts as HUGE banners, but to see as much info as possible on the screen (like the phone numbers of my contacts!!) Nokia had this in 1998 !!!!!!!!!!! Thanks a lot for all your replies and I apologize if I have posted this in the wrong thread.
i don't know if this will do all that your asking but ex dialer is really good, my friend likes go dialer/contacts. i hope this helps.
Hello, thank you VERY MUCH for your reply!! I'll give your recommendation a try!! Meanwhile, I have tested several application and Rocket Dialer is the closest one to my expectations. I'm using just the contacts app. For dialing/keypad, the original app is OK, I found out that it has at least counters for outgoing and incoming calls, no SMS counter though. For blocking calls, I've downloaded Call Blocker, which has a whitelist, this is all I needed. I can put 2 numbers on the white list and disable all other incoming calls. Thanks again!
Hello, I've checked this ex Dialer and it's really potatic... Again ONLY names of the contacts and no option to change this. There is also another program - DW Contacts. This is really a high-end app with a lot of options and highly customizable. I didn't find a way to display all the letters on one side of the screen for faster index search, as Rocket Dialer has it. So, for me, Rocket Dialer is OK.
Try "Dialer One" by Yermek Zhumagulov. It displays "contacts, TOGETHER with their phone numbers", the way you want. You can have different colors for the contact and the phone nos. Seleting two stand-out colors, I found it very easy to read them against the dark background (selectable). Pretty cool and very fast. I'd been trying many dialers and uninstalled all of them after spending half-an-hour with this one.
Thanks a lot! I have looked at the screenshots on google play. It would do, but I prefer Rocket Dialer. It has many amazing options, together with the black list Thanks anyway! Now I'm searching for a task manager to be able to list all running processes and kill them
[Q] Android 4.4 Hangouts SMS issue
Hi there, My first post here, although I've hung out, anonymously, looking at the resources within the forum. Today I received my Nexus 5. It's a lovely bit of hardware, but I've come from an HTC phone (4.1.1 Desire X) and I love the Sense UI; just so you know, I hate stock 4.4 thus my post below is in utter exasperation I'm having an issue with trying to send an SMS. Unfortunately, I have to use Hangouts (I refused to update from Google Talk on the Desire X) and I'm finding that I can't sending a frigging SMS to a colleague at work because I have his Gmail email address as part of his contact details!!! This is absolutely the most retarded thing in a Phone OS that I have come across, ever. Unfortunately, as an early adopter of this phone, I'm stuck without an alternative. So far as I can see, in Hangouts, I would have to type in the phone number manually whilst being logged out of my Gmail accounts in Hangouts to send an SMS, or maybe deleting the user's email address would suffice. Am I missing some way of sending an SMS that's not completely obvious here?
My N5 arrives tomorrow, so I can't be much help with the app itself, but if it's really confusing/awful you can download an alternative SMS app from the play store and set it as your default. Edit: I hear you on hating hangouts. I cant stand the version they have on 4.0/4.1/4.2/4.3, been sticking with talk also.
I don't have it in my hands yet to test, but I'm fairly sure once you've opened the "new hangout" window, you can tap on their name on the upper left and switch to SMS from Hangout message.

you need to verify your phone number before being able to use it for sms hit the plus button and add a contact...then select the contact's name from the top of the screen (next to the green handouts icon), and choose their phone number instead of their email address Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app

mrdnauk said: So i got my nexus 5 yesterday which was actually amazingly fast as i ordered on the 5th and when i ordered it was due to leave warehouse by the 12th so i was more then happy Im loving the phone it takes all the thing i loved from my N4 and improves apart . Now down to my issues i like the UI of Hangouts for my SMS its just the Contacts it is taking my Google + contacts and adding them to my phone contacts being everyone from there is basically in my contacts anyways it is duplicating them and maybe its a bit OCD by i have to have every contact only once with a picture if they don't have pics or are duplicated i get really frustrated. I had a similar thing when i used MIUI on my N4 but they allowed you to merge contacts or delete unwanted duplicates. So far i haven't been able to find this but it may be due to my frustration so if anyone can help or advise that would be great Chris AKA MrDNAUK Click to expand... Click to collapse Until they come up with a solution to this (by they I mean Google) then you can just download another app to use for messaging until hangouts is smoothed out better. Or you could use the old messaging app and just extract it or search for it online Sent from my Nexus 10 using xda app-developers app

Click to collapse First thanks to both of you for such a quick reply i have sorted the issue by downloading 8sms which it then let me set as default know idea why it wouldn't do it with chomp . I hope they do sort the problem as i do like the idea of hangouts being a sms app but uses messenger very similar to Whats app i guess. Just make it so you can merge the contact from your address book to the hangout contact like i said MIUI has something similar
