Open phone number from Gmail? - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I just noticed that when I click on a phone number in Gmail it does not open the dialer. The phone number is recognized as such (hyperlinked) but it does not open the dialer. Tried long clicking the link but it just launches the text selector.
I tried texting a phone number to myself. When I click on the number in the text it launches correctly. Tried clean up data and cache for both the dealer and Gmail but no luck.
Att hox with CleanROM 4.5.

You can thank Apple for this. It's called HTC Linkify. What this means is, HTC had to implement a technology that would no longer link apps through each other for contacting people, like phone numbers and navigation, otherwise they couldn't sell their devices in the USA. So, Linkify was born to screw us all.

I just tested it on my phone with CleanROM 4.5. The feature works perfectly fine. The dialer opens correctly when I click on a number emailed to my gmail account.
Not sure why it doesn't work for you.

Nice find. Thanks for the hook up
It's pretty wizard. I especially like the one-tap into compose GV TXT.
Been running this for a couple of days and have loving the widget, it's the one thing GV was missing.

As far I can tell when the contact has more than one number, the messaging app will show the number and will have the phone number type next to it
for example "(mobile)" or "(work)"

I've found out mine auto-magikally imported my Sim contacts but wouldn't auto link them with the right google contacts (using the same sim since 2007).
You'll need to go into the People app and hide everything but the contacts stored on the phone - then either link or delete them. I chose to delete them. If you delete them, download a SIM management tool from the Play store and delete them from the SIM as well (seemed to restore the contacts from the sim when I OTA'd to 1.29.7 but after redeleting them from the sim they didn't reappear with the 1.29.11 update).

It doesn't show the name, number, number type, and contact picture at the top?
Try changing number format from (###) ###-#### or any other format to simply ##########. Seemed to work for me. You will have to do this for each contact.

mine has started doing it randomly as you describe, very annoying.
edit - i think i've found the problem, its because the messages are coming in as from "+447XXXXXX" and in my phone book i dont have the +44, just 07XXXXX, after changing them to +44 in front, its all ok.
now just to go through my contacts and change them all.... sigh.

Update: some features don't really work like when you need to set up an alarm or save a memo. I guess it's because we don't have exact apk for the s voice to pull up.
It works for me. But there's a long delay each time it tries to process anything.

I have es file explorer. Do I need to purchase root explorer to change permissions for the voice.apk
apk works right from an install.
It's a little quirky, but it actually functions better than I expected it to.

No, you don't. Just tap and hold on the .apk file, in the opened menu scroll down and go to properties, from there you can change permissions.
Just leave check marks checked to:
User: read, write
Group: read
Other: read

Ford Sync now appears to work

For those of you using the older style (mine is a 2010) version of the non-touch screen Ford Sync, it now appears that the AT&T One X will pair over BT without issue. On the 1.73 firmware the phone was unable to even see the system. Not sure if it was the OTA to stock 1.85 or flashing to CleanROM since i hadn't tried it again in weeks, but one of the two solved the issue.
Anyway, haven't tried playing media yet but phone calls work just as well as they did on my old iPhone.
I'm not having any issues with media play on my 2010 F-150.

Yeah, I assume it works fine now that i can pair. Did you have trouble getting it to work on the launch firmware (1.73)?

In my 2012 Fusion I haven't had any trouble. I just picked up the F-150 a couple weeks ago (couldn't pass up the deal) so I was already off 1.73 at the time. I can say that at times it does take a while for the media to connect. Sync just plain out rocks. Don't know if I could ever use a vehicle without it.

As far as i know.
I tried to update it, and i keep getting an error on the Ford SYNC website. They know they have a problem, but yet they say that there's no updates for my vehicle.
System used to work fine with my iphone. So i dont know if is SYNC or the phone.

Keep trying to pull that sync update. I guess its also possible that running cleanrom 4.0 made it work, but I kind of doubt it. Don't think the log mentions Bluetooth changes.
We almost certainly have the same Sync system, so don't give up!
My 2012 Edge used to give me grief and would not consistently pair either as a phone or music but since the OTA it hasn't been an issue.

My HOX paired with my 2011 Fusion (w/o Nav) without much fuss. Stock ROM. I had to jockey around the bluetooth searching a few times to get them to see each other, though. Music streaming works well, too.
