Hey guys, so I've been dealing with this issue since I've had the phone in multiple ROMS. So let's say I am trying to call my friend John Z, I go to the keypad and type in 564 and I also have friends John A, B, and F in my contacts, which I never call anyway. So my question is, how would I be able to customize (obv if possible) the order in which my contacts are ordered when typing their characters in the keypad, currently its alphabetical. I tried looking through all the settings and googling with no luck. Thanks!
It might be best to start using their last name assuming you list all your contacts full last names. That's what I do for my multiple contacts with similar first names but different last names.

I was thinking that too last night, but trying to see if I can somehow customize it. If I cant I will definitely change it up.
Haven't found a way, its annoying on this device. My old droid 3 would always pop up the "best match" based on the call logs, s3 apparently does not take that into consideration. I also have been trying to find a way to get the dialer to default to showing the number pad on VM and 800# calls, again this is a standard feature in gingerbread droids! Its so annoying especially in the sun or when driving to have to hit the show keypad button all the time on those types of calls.

Yeah man! Same with my old phone! I had a Mytouch 3g slide and it will sort it how I want my s3 to sort it. I wonder if downloading a new dialer via the play store would solve it or if a dev wanted to take up the challenge.
I've posted that question in multiple development threads with no replies, please start doing it too, maybe if more people ask it may be taken on
I'm actually amazed more people aren't annoyed by this, after all these are phones first!

Completely agree, haha. Ive been googling for a while and still havent found anything. The only conclusion I can see is by using the "Favorites" menu which actually sorts by most freq contacted. It seems like a really easy fix though; just give priority to the favorites when searching then alphabetize or whatever else afterwards.
Exdialer from the playstore. I've been messing with all of the dialers for the past 2 hrs and this one is special. Give it a try, solved my issues. Donate uses root privileges to override the stock dialer.

Hello,
Me and my gf used to chat a lot using whatsapp (she has an iphone)..i finally persuaded her to change to android but she wants the threads as she has them on her phone..i have tried everything and since you cant restore within different platforms the only good way i thought is if we did a "replay" of what we have sent by looking from the chat history from email..bit extreme but no other way..
The only problem is that the app doesnt let us use the time we wish (from system) because maybe it uses time from the web! Or maybe we can alter the time afterwards ..Any ideas??
Thnx

Not sure if there is any easier way but Whatsapp Xtract could be the answer since it support WA message extraction, you can get it here.
If you know some programming skill you can just play with the sqlite database, another way would be write some script to mass change the time on the chat history/email.
Good luck!
By the way, you probably want to change your title to include [Q] so that people know you are asking a question.
Thnx i will look it up! i was also thinkng about whatsapp on Bluestacks but then again the mod in time is still an issue

I just have a look on the message history sent through email by Whatsapp, it's just a simple plain text file is it? so much easy to process by script.

Have you tried Whatsapp Xtract? Well if you are talking about changing the date on email then a simple php script would do by mass converting the date.
But what can i see from the message history sent to email is that they have 'year' info skipped, so not sure what happen to messages sent/rcvd before current year, does it have year info? well, only if you have one sent/rcvd before 2012.
If only about changing the date on email maybe i can help, just give me some picture on how it looks like now and how it supposed to be.

Yes I have looked into this program..it all started from me wanting to export whatsapp chat into android from iphone! Then when I saw I cant do that I thought I could send my chat from scratch and change the date..but then again the app doesnt let you operate if you use incorrect time.BUT one thing I never thought is one simple and better solution: Why dont I avoid this app and its limitations and import my chat conversation from email to SMS with sms to text!! :thumbup:I will combine my sms and my whatsapp into one thread and job done! GOOD THING ANDROID SMS IS SO VERSATILE! .txt .csv. xls you name it. So happy right now thanx for your feedback anyway

Hey, I recently released an app to Google Play and was wondering if you guys could help me out to test it and to give me feedback!
The app is called Sms Replier and it's a tool that can be used to send texts to people who call you while you're unable to get to your phone to answer(while you're in an exam, or playing a game of soccer, etc.). I know this idea has been done before, but I want to know whether you think it's worth it for me to keep working on it so as to add features which have not been done in any other app. Please let me know how well it performs/what things I should change about it, and please rate it on Google Play!
I am excited to get some real criticism from android users so that I can continue to make this app what I originally set out for it to be!
The app is completely free! Thank you in advance.
I like it! Simple, but I would love a widget.
If you are lazy: here's a link to the download:

cool
thanks for the app..

Hey. Can the app send sms at a specific time? For example set it to send an sms to a contact at 2pm and when the clock becomes 2pm it sends the sms. Cz I'm looking for such a feature.
Also it would be great if the above could work on whatsapp too. Thanks

I could include that feature with relative ease, but it currently doesn't do that since I was aiming at making an app that helps you when you don't have access to your phone

Try SMS scheduler from the play store
Sent from my Desire HD using xda app-developers app
it works ace!
what would be good is to have either a widget to toggle on / off, permanent notification to enable access to the menu, or an idle / activity monitor like if phone left idle for x minutes then enable it; as soon as there's human activity then de-activate it (could be linked to the auto screen dim/off).
A very nice app, very useful for businesses. Out Of Office Reply
A great start! I would also like to add some suggestions (some may be repeats).
1. Widgets that you can add to turn on and off selected notifications.
2. Auto respond based on a pre-determined schedule.
3. Auto start on startup option (for scheduled events).
4. # appears over icon to notify user how many messages were replied to while away (like mail or missed call icon).
Keep up the great work!

Great app very helpful while driving especially. Would be nice if you could add some features to even reply to text messages automatically. Something similar to auto reply feature in GoSMS.
great work.

as bigdog said those are very essential to complete this app.
first time i installed the app.. i was really surprised to see its simplicity really awesome
i would like to add some suggestions and doubts from mine sides too even though they may be repeated
some brainstorming got me to bring up these elements
1. sometimes there can just be miss calls.. you can add up timer like (send sms before ringer, on one ring, on two rings, or like if didnt pick the call at all will send an sms)
2. a status bar indicating that the sms replier with number of sms sent. [a widget would also be helpful]
3. then you can add some templates or profiles like driving, in class or let users create their profiles or templates.
4. there is one more thing that u can get access of contacts and just disconnect the unknown numbers[ofcourse getting the notification with number at our end] and donot sent them a reply in order to maintain the privacy and not let the unknown numbers know what you are upto.
5. and if i may add a option.. a counter to be set to ring if a same person is trying to call for more than two three times or in case of emergency
i will add more when it comes ...
Would be great if it could work on whatsapp!
The difference is that you don't need to click the template to send it when you're receiving the call. It sends automatically when a missed call is recorded. Sorry to assume, but it doesn't seem like you actually tried using the app at all.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
@saredev, does your app have feature that can exclude certain numbers from auto responding but they are in the contacts list. For example, notifications banks or credit card companies. These companies don't need to receive auto-response. I think you might have to check the number when it arrives whether it's a phone number or shortcode before auto-response. Or include a list of numbers from auto-response.

I have 2 ideas.
Hi.
I have 2 ideas (requests?).
1. Like a monolingal which is a OSX's program. It will keep some locales which we chosed and delete the other languages.
2. Additional Locale. not like a morelocale2 and so on. additional locale which device have not (not hidden). Normaly, it's too difficult for noob ( I heard specilist can add locale).
Cheers.
another idea: an app that turn screen on a black screen and the icon of notification whenever notification come up (and screen is turn off of course). can you?
An app that lets me see the history of my notifications, even those i've already seen

Game porting
An app for porting armv7 games to armv6. Basically, modifying the .lib files. Also resizing the drawable and re positioning it to fit other resolutions in proportion.

I found perfect site for creating apps...Yesterday I ended up on some site called apps-machine.com . I have to share it with you guys. I started creating my own app and after 15 minutes clicking on their control panel(no programming,just clicks) I made app in what user could make effects on their photos,paint photos,play music,play videos,have notepad,chat and stream music. They got literally 1000's of features on their control panel I think this could be a gold mine And I read something that they have free app development and so on. Aaand you can change everything all the backgrounds,colors,tabs...and you instantly see it on that same page through their simulator..don't know how they managed to do that but it is super handy...I am super excited at the moment..time to get some apps on apple and play store
