What do you want to use the letters for?
The dialer is the dialer for phone calls, it requires numbers to make a call. The letters are a hold-over on all phones from when your number was something like Klondike3-4632.
first thanks for your answer.but we have some USSD and secret codes for the phone that contains letters. also if they are not functioning then why are they in the Daimler screen

What is USSD?
What secret codes for the phone require you type an actual letter in the dialer?
What phone lets you type an actual letter in the dialer? I've not noticed one, but I've never really looked into it.
They're there because all phones have them; some people and companies use letters to give out their phone number instead of all numbers: example, the local radio station tells you to call 800-777-KBIG; the KBIG aren't actual letters though, they're just an easy way to remember the phone number, and you would push 5244 on the actual phone by reading the letters on it. I even do this with my personal Google Voice number; I was lucky enough to be able to get one that actually spells my last name, so I just tell people to dial my last name and they easily remember the number.
You're the first person I've ever seen question this. Maybe we can both learn something here.
first the secret code is *#*#checkin#*#* to search for updates.
seconmd the USSD Unstructured Supplementary Service Data depending on the service provider
third the phone that can do this is xperia x10i with android 1.6
finally thanks

See distortedloop's post again. The "code" you're talking about should be typed using the appropriate numbers based on the letters shown on the keypad. They don't have to show up as letters.

Like @kaimyn says...REREAD my post.
*#*#checkin#*#* doesn't require you to input the letters! Those letters are, just as described above, a way to make it easier for you to remember the secret code. You just replace each letter with the number on dialer keypad that shows that letter.
In other words the ACTUAL secret code to checkin isn't *#*#checkin#*#* it is *#*#2432546#*#*. Try it and see.
As for USSD, never heard of it, so can't help you there.
I'm fairly certain that with the stock dialer you cannot do what you're asking. Maybe some third party replacement dialer from the Market can do what you're after.
Btw, *#*#checkin#*#* and *#*#info#*#* are NOT USSD codes. They're just secret codes on Android. USSD codes are those codes AT&T and T-Mobile uses that you can get your bill balance, text used, minutes used. Example USSD code is #MIN#, #BAL# for T-Mobile.
And typing USSD codes is the same way, type the number that corresponds to the letter.
#MIN# = #646#

Very nice stuff, maybe it can be used on the development of other apps... it has the control of the type of networks and other things..
Not being an expert I've a question.. what is the smsc???
Edit: I pushed the refresh and came out a service number from my network provider.. I'll check where is from and I'll inform it!

First I was going to bet that who discovered this it was you..
..but, it was too far guess.. it was haykuro All the best to both
Edit: I went directly to the header and to the code.. sorry "Props to zinx"!!!
So I had a problem with SMS messages not sending today. I determined what I believe to be a solid fix.
1. Plug phone into AC outlet.
2. Reboot phone.
3. Open dialpad and type in *#*#4636#*#*.
4. Scroll to the bottom and locate SMSC number box.
5. In this box type in your SMSC number in pdu format.
6. Click update.
7. Wait 3 minutes.
8. Send an SMS (text message).
07913121139418F0 is the ATT SMSC number in pdu format. Normal is +13123149810.
I will update with all ATT numbers converted and sorted by region. I will also provide tmobiles list. This should also work on most other androids. Hopefully this will be a stickie soon...?...?...

SMSC number lists
Numbers will be in normal format then pdu format.
Example:
+13123149880 is normal.
07912160130300f0 is pdu format.
Use directions in OP to use these numbers. Gingerbread 2.3.3 and earlier used normal format and 2.3.4 and up uses PDU. This is to the best of my knowledge, of course, and I also believe it will work the same with other Androids as well

UPDATE: some phones are having errors updating the SMSC number. Double check your APN settings and verify you have an data connection. This is seemingly the cause of a failed update of the SMSC number, no data/missing or bad APN.

It is very necassary to add narrowing down / picking out / taking persons from contacts and dialing list starting from even one figure but which is / are in any place of numbers, not only in the begginning of it, such as in Sony Xperia dialer app.
There will be talking about tuning / changing / improving of stock dialer app for the stock firmware, or default dialer app for non stock firmwares, but not about some additional addons to dialer or dialer substitutes.
Who knows, how is it possible that smart dial function can act as in Sony Xperia smartphones or how is to switch such behavior or how and which way can tune phone app / firmware to or where is to write to HTC or how can do the following, looks like Xperia smart dial behavior.
So, I press figure 3 in dialer line and all persons from contacts as from dialing list (all, incoming, outgoiong, missed) who's numbers have 3 figure are displayed, and this figure is marked in got numbers,
then I add figure 9 to 3, there is 39 in dialer line and persons from contacts and dialing list is narrowed down to person who's numbers has 39, and 39 is marked in got numbers also, then I add 1 and get 391 in dialer line and persons are narrowed down more, according to pressed 391 figures and so on.
And it is not important or it doesn' t depend on where are searching figures placed, in the begginning of picking out numbers or in ANY place of it.
Who can may be add such functionality or where can I find andswer ?
I have German HTC One XL 32 Gb version.
But the same situation for all HTC One, including S, X, XL, unlike of Xperia P, S, Acro S.
Come again? The smart dialer works perfectly for me just the way it is. All I have to do is start dialing someone's name and they pop up. Don't see how that can be improved upon.
Esp chip integration. Will automatically call once you decide your going to make the call. With proper engineering you could even carry on the coversation without having to speak
Also, cross-posting is not going to improve it either.

Forv you may be. For me and others there is big missing in smart dial moreover we talk about top model.
I wrote, and you can look at Sony Xperia phone app smart dial realization and propably will understand what need to improve.
Some time I needed to call to person I didn' t remember its completed number, I didn' t remember even the begginning of the number, but I remembered some figures which was located in the middle of the number but closer to an end of that, for example there is number +79213457866? I remembered 786 only, LG 2x could find, Sony Xperia Acros could find, LG 4X could find, but HTC One XL couldn' t.
And in need to take into account that searching number could be as in contacts as in dialin list that is you couldn' t be succeed in searching by name.

Please, send link to similar topic / question.
Esp chip integration, sounds good. Can you make so or not ?
For anyone not quite understanding what the OP is talking about, I want to try to explain quickly. The Sense dialer only searches phone numbers if you type the beginning of the phone number. For example, take two contacts, 123-456-7890 and 890-756-1234. If you dial "89", only the second contact will come up. If you dial "123", only the first contact will come up. He is asking for functionality where both numbers would show up under both situations, searching for the string in the entire number and not just the beginning of the number.
Dialer One, free in the Play Store, offers this functionality, so I don't think there's any need to modify the Sense dialer.

Well, I guess people really do things differently.
I can't remember any part of any of my contacts phone numbers. It seems like it would be much easier to just enter a person's name, not random parts of their phone number.

I can understand why it might be useful to have the phone search in the way you describe, I don't think it is a pressing issue for most users. The way our smart dial is implemented is mostly to search for contact names and the numbers you know by heart already. I save all of my contacts with names, and you won't catch me trying to search for loose numbers. Perhaps try re-evaluating your search and contact organization methods?
Tired of talking to a machine? Tired of pressing 1, 0,1,0 to get a person on the line? No time or can’t find the number for a company that you really need? Get IDialit and talk to a human.

I honestly don't know so i'm asking. Are all the permissions this app gets needed for a Dialer assist it to function?
Hi,
Typically you cannot launch the secret codes on Verizon devices. You have to enable the HiddenMenu (required root) to enter secret codes.
By using Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app or Shortcut Master app, you can easily launch any secret code without enabling the HiddenMenu.
Just open app > Menu > 'Secret Codes' > select the secret code to launch (root also required).
Cheers.
okey, thank you for sharing

Codes to access the programming functions on your phone. Dangerous area if you do not know what you are doing. Some codes though are harmless like usually one for LED test, and other test functions...but some program bands that your phone uses, how data is received. Here is a quick idea: http://www.redmondpie.com/hidden-an...msung-htc-motorola-sony-lg-and-other-devices/

Thanks Kenny! I guess I didn't know the terms 'special codes'. I knew about these, just always referred to them as USSD codes.

USSD codes and those secret codes are different things.
USSD codes: these codes are belong to the mobile network, not to your device. So you have to press Call button to send it to the network (e.g. *101# <CALL> to check for the balance in your account).
Secret codes: these codes reside on your device, and no need to press the Call button (e.g. *#06# for IMEI, *#0*# for hardware test on Samsung phone. No need to press Call button after these codes).

Oh no, you need root for it to work, sorry. It is due to Samsung's security policy.
On device from another brands it may work without root access (use Launch 1 method). But on Samsung devices you should use Launch 0 method (that requires root).
I have a question for anyone that might be able to answer. I flashed a bad TWRP or ROM along the way and the touch calibration is really off for the bottom of the screen (the phone seems calibrated now for a 4.5 to 5 inch phone now). I've read every thread possible on how to fix a calibration issue. I have ....factory reset / wiped all internal storage / wiped everything except USB thing / flashed correct TWRP / flashed correct rom and firmware. I'm now on Resurrection Remix 7.1.1 which is awesome except the screen is not calibrated for touch. For the S-Pen works perfectly anywhere on the screen which is life saving.
I've tried to run a several APK's that promised to calibrate the screen. No luck. Then I saw a video where someone had the same problem as me on Youtube. Apparently the guy did the same thing as me and used Secret Codes to fix it.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rh7zeqGm7Q
However, Samsung's "secret codes" don't work (Verizon) from the dialer, I've tried Shortcut Master (App), Samsung Phone Info (App) and apparently they don't seem to be able to make any of the old secret code menus appear which I've been told will help fix the calibration. From what I've gathered, I may have to downgrade to a stock developer edition rom (touchwiz) for the dialer pad to be able to key in secret codes to be able to service the touch screen calibration. Can anyone confirm that? I assume downgrading is possible from this.....can anyone recommend a correct ROM for me to downgrade to that is stock/touchwiz but friendly for the developer edition? Hopefully this is posted in the right place, otherwise I will copy it and save it and the moderator move/delete it. Thank you!
On custom ROM, the rom's creator may removed secret codes, that's why the secret codes don't work.
You need to use the "Secret Codes" menu in the above mentioned apps (Shortcut Master or Phone INFO Samsung) to check if the codes are available in the device.

I'm running 6.01 rooted on my Note 4 and those codes still don't work.
anyway to run secret codes on verizon without root? I wonder why verizon is so strict, cant run any tests, retrieve IMEI, not a single dialer code works. s8 or s10. yet other carriers no problem. I guess i'll trade off having access to secret codes for sim being already unlocked
